Authors: Tarigan Natalia Jelita , Rochaddi Baskoro , Subardjo Petrus , Maslukah Lilik 
Published: July 2021

Muara Sungai Banjir Kanal Barat Semarang merupakan wilayah yang berpotensi mengalami eutrofikasi akibat buangan limbah rumah tangga dan industri. Sebagian besar penelitian sebelumnya lebih berfokus pada fosfor dalam sedimen dasar dan fosfat terlarut, sedangkan kandungan fosfor anorganik dalam total suspended solid (TSS) di perairan muara dan laut menerima lebih sedikit perhatian. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui sebaran fosfor anorganik partikulat (PIP) di perairan sekitar muara Sungai Banjir Kanal Barat Semarang. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan pada lapisan permukaan (kedalaman 0,5 m). Analisis TSS dilakukan dengan metode gravimetri. Ekstraksi asam PIP dilakukan berdasarkan metodologi ekstraksi konvensional, menggunakan 1 M HCl, diikuti oleh prosedur untuk menurunkan keasaman dan dianalisis dengan metode spectrophotometric phosphomolybdenum blue pada panjang gelombang 880 nm. Konsentrasi PIP yang didapatkan berkisar antara 0,42 µmol/g – 1,28 µmol/g dengan nilai rata-rata sebesar 0,54 µmol/g. Sebaran PIP dipengaruhi oleh arus pasang surut, total suspended solid (TSS) dan salinitas. Sebaran PIP dominan ke arah barat – barat laut karena pengaruh arus pada saat pasang menuju surut. Konsentrasi PIP menurun seiring berkurangnya konsentrasi TSS dan meningkatnya nilai salinitas. Banjir Kanal Barat estuary is an area that has the potential to experience eutrophication due to household and industrial waste disposal. Most previous research has focused more on phosphorus in basic sediments and dissolved phosphate, whereas the inorganic phosphorus content in total suspended solid (TSS) in estuarine and marine waters received less attention. The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution of particulate inorganic phosphorus (PIP) in the waters around the Banjir Kanal Barat estuary. Sampling was carried out on the surface layer (0.5 m depth). TSS analysis was performed using the gravimetric method. PIP acid extraction was carried out based on conventional extraction methodology, which required 1 M HCl, followed by a procedure to reduce acidity and analyzed by spectrophotometric phosphomolybdate blue method at a wavelength of 880 nm. PIP concentrations obtained ranged from 0,42 µmol/g – 1,28 µmol/g with an average value of 0.54 µmol/g. Distribution of PIP is influenced by tidal currents, total suspended solid (TSS) and salinity. Distribution of PIP is dominant to west – northwest direction due to the influence of currents at ebb current. PIP concentration decreases with decreasing TSS concentration and increasing salinity.

A Community at Work for Good: The Role OCBs and Interconnectedness Play in Mitigating Workplace Deviance
Authors: Moore Tom , McTier William , Blevins Kassie 
Published: July 2021

The current research examines the role interconnectedness, a major construct of workplace spirituality, plays in the functioning of workplace deviance behaviors and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) in organizations. The dichotomy between workplace deviance and OCBs can be viewed as a continuum that varies in every organization, but the desire to improve the continuum’s balance remains a constant. Thus, how can the balance of these behaviors be guided towards OCBs and away from workplace deviance simultaneously? Rarely have suggestions been offered by management scholars on how to increase OCBs and reduce workplace deviance simultaneously. Previous recommendations on reducing workplace deviance have focused mostly on costly and inefficient activities, resulting in an increase in more diverse negative deviant behaviors. Thus, what can an organization do to positively change these behaviors in a low realized cost fashion that otherwise does not promote other negative deviant behaviors?
An extensive literature search was performed, and no previous scholarly literature could be found that directly addressed interconnectedness and its relationship with the continuum of OCBs and negative workplace deviant behaviors. As a result, previous scholarly and practitioner literature was used to develop theory delineating the relationships of concern. Formal propositions are developed to describe the relationships of interest. A conceptual partially mediated model illustrating how interconnectedness can impact the OCB and workplace deviance continuum is also proposed. Organizational implications are also discussed.
Elements of Expanded Core Curriculum That Best Predicts Academic Achievement of Students With Visual Impairment
Authors: Ntim Edward Kofi , Vanderpuye Irene , Kpodeo Ivy Ama , Assie Rebecca Afrah , Derkye Charles 
Published: July 2021

Every student (student with visual impairment or non-student with visual impairment) is expected to leave the walls of any educational institution with a strong grasp of knowledge, skills, and attitude to function successfully in life-after-school. In order to be successful, students with visual impairment must learn all the nine components of the expanded core curriculum (ECC). The expanded core curriculum empowers students with visual impairment to access their education and make their own choices throughout life. Without specialised instruction in ECC, students with vision loss may not be aware of the activities of their peers or acquire other critical information about their surroundings (Ferrell, 2000). As students with visual impairment learn the expanded core curriculum they build a strong foundation for success in life today and tomorrow. The ECC must therefore, be strategically and sequentially taught and integrated into all aspects of the education of the student with visual impairment. Ninety three students with visual impairment at University of Cape Coast and University of Education, Winneba were used for the study. Questionnaire and Multiple regression were used to collect and analyse data respectively. Independent living skills emerged as the best predictor of academic achievement of students with visual impairment.
Political Theory of Societal Association: Case of the Failed State Of Syria—Part 5 Brexit
Authors: Betz Frederick 
Published: July 2021

In this fifth paper of a series on failing states, we analyze the impact that the large numbers of Syrian refugees from the Syrian civil war (2010-2019) had on political association in Britain – triggering a major change British policy and possibly threatening national unity. The theoretical model of political association is composed of three dimensions in the political dichotomies of: (1) ‘kinship or reciprocal-altruism’, (2) ‘centralization or decentralization-of-power’, and (3) ‘idealism or realism;. This is a cross-disciplinary political theory which can apply to different societies and to different times in a society.
Implementation of International Human Rights Obligations in Nigeria: Civil Society Perspective
Authors: Emelonye Uchenna 
Published: July 2021

Civil society organizations are key actors in the promotion and protection of human rights in Nigeria and have participated in all the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) circles of the Government of Nigeria. The UPR is a first of its kind innovation adopted in 2006 by the Human Rights Council to complement the works of treaty bodies and involves the review on a periodic basis, the human rights records of all Member States of the United Nations. As a peer review process comprising three distinct stages and involving three major sources of information, this article exclusively ex-rays the UPR civil society report on the implementation of Nigeria’s international human rights obligations. As one of the three sources of information relied upon by the Human Rights Council in the Universal Periodic Review of the human rights record of the Government of Nigeria, this article, while focusing on the civil society information submitted to the Human Rights Council pursuant to the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 60/251 concludes that despite advances in the promotion and protection of human rights claimed in its national report to be made in the implementation of international human rights obligations, there are still, from civil society lens, plethora of issues and gaps in the implementation of Nigeria’s international human rights obligations.
The Consonant System of the English Language and its Modification in Colloquial Speech
Authors: Poladova Sabina Elkhan 
Published: July 2021

This paper is concerned with the study of the modifications of consonants caused by their mutual influence, taking into account the varying degrees of connectivity of the elements of the speech chain. As such, this study of vocal connections of various types is carried out from the point of view of the nature of the junction of the elements – more or less close. Thus, this paper is devoted to problems concerning the phenomenon of vocal junction as it is established in linguistics in general and in phonetics in particular.
The relevance of these problems stems from the need for disclosure and knowledge of the mechanism of internal organization of speech flow. This paper is aimed at analyzing the features of the vocal stitch and its components, which allow you to delve deeper into the mechanism of production of related speech. Thereby, this study attempts to identify modifications of elements of interdisciplinary vocal combinations, which are important for the implementation of their delimitative function, as these are manifested in the distinction of different units of speech.
Primitives of Peirce’s concept of consciousness
Authors: West Donna E. 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
This collection of articles by noted Peirce scholars stands at the frontiers of the discipline in expressing a primary issue which runs through Peirce’s semiotic, logic, and metaphysics – how his more mature semiotic is inextricably linked with questions of consciousness. As such, Peirce’s concept of consciousness is augmented in the following ways: intelligent agency, temporal contracts in 4E cognition, the privilege of the non-ego and the role of heterocriticism, and the impingement of consciousness upon Peirce’s notion of self-control. In short, it brings together threads of Peirce’s theory of consciousness into a semio-logical model. The contributions address how Peirce’s system of “instinctual” consciousness, awareness, and more reflective forms of consciousness influence the generation of propositions and assertions. Peirce’s ultimate position is showcased – that to serve esthetic ends, quasi-interpreters must argue with/between themselves how to craft courses of action to serve esthetic ends.
Pragmaticism as a logical study of consciousness
Authors: Pietarinen Ahti-Veikko 
Published: July 2021

AbstractPragmaticism states that general rules of action, or habits, are generalizing tendencies that lead us to action in conceivable situations describable in general terms. As a method of ‘putting questions to our minds,’ it assigns meanings to signs in terms of conceivable practical consequences for rational conduct. Questions are experiments on various ways of finding solutions in thoughts. This paper proposes pragmaticism as a logical method to study consciousness. In particular, perceptions of relations of differences create a “temporal contract” between states of minds that give rise to experiences. Peirce’s “dyadic consciousness” is this drafting of a contract between states of mind, anticipating and occasionally furthering beyond the key notions of 4E cognitive science.
Toward a Foucauldian Genealogy of Video Game (Pre)history
Authors: Trépanier-Jobin Gabrielle 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
This paper highlights the distortive nature of narrative models that are often employed in video game historiographies to produce captivating tales. More precisely, it argues against: the search for video games’ origin(s); the “chronological-teleological” model based on linear progressions; the “chronological-organic” narrative revolving around a biological-like evolution; the “epistemic breaks” structure based on radical transformations; the “bi-polar” model involving a dialectic of oppositions; and the “cyclical” narrative revolving around postmodern tropes of return, recycling, and retrofitting. In addition to explaining why the uncritical use of these emplotment techniques is problematic, this paper argues in favor of a Foucault-inspired genealogical approach which avoids the quest for the media’s origin(s) and articulates video game history around coexistence, overlaps, interferences, synergies, networks of influences, and discontinuities. This genealogical method also restores the missing inventors, devices, and games in historical records while highlighting the power relations that led to their omission in the first place.

Summary
We report a case of metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma associated with paraneoplastic Cushing’s syndrome, successively treated with five lines of treatment (platin-etoposide, LV5FU2-dacarbazine, FOLFIRINOX, pembrolizumab, and paclitaxel) and anti-secretory treatment. Circulating-free DNA (cfDNA) was analysed at each morphological evaluation starting from the second-line treatment. cfDNA changes were well correlated with the disease course, and cfDNA may be used as a predictive marker and/or as an early marker of response. In addition, the absolute count of atypical cells was elevated upon disease progression.

Learning points

cfDNA changes were well correlated with the Cushing’s syndrome course and with the tumour burden changes assessed by laboratory markers and by RECIST criteria.

cfDNA analysis was used to determine the pharmacogenetic patterns of the present patient.

An elevated number of atypical circulating cells was noticed upon disease progression.

Authors: Fábrica G. , Bermúdez G. , Silva-Pereyra, V. V. , Alonso R. 
Published: July 2021

En este trabajo se evalúa cuales variables, dentro de las que resultan más entendibles para un atleta, resultan predictoras de la altura del salto con contramovimiento (CMJ). Doce jugadores de voleibol amateur (24,5 ± 2,7 años; 1,85 ± 0,6 m; 80,3 ± 5,2 kg; mean ± SD) participaron del estudio. Se evaluaron las relaciones entre 15 variables cinemáticas y la altura del salto usando el coeficiente de correlación se Spearman. Con un modelo de regresión multivariado, fue determinado que la velocidad máxima de extensión de la rodilla y el tiempo de transición durante el apoyo son predictores independientes. Se concluyó que la velocidad de extensión de rodilla es el factor más importante para la altura del salto y se observó que cambios dentro del rango tolerado para la acción de la rodilla, podrían afectar las evaluaciones basadas en la altura máxima del CMJ.

Published: July 2021

El objetivo de este estudio es investigar los efectos de la cantidad de respiraciones realizadas por brazada en el desempeño del nado crawl. Participaron del estudio 32 nadadores de ambos géneros (37.12 ± 12.51 años). Los sujetos fueron grabados nadando 25 metros en el estilo crawl a velocidad máxima. No hubo diferencia significativa entre el tiempo de duración de la prueba y la velocidad promedio de los patrones respiratorios, sin embargo, los ciclos de brazadas de los patrones R2 y R3 presentaron mejores resultados (p < 0.05). La frecuencia de brazada de los patrones respiratorios R2 (0.64 ciclo/s) y R3 (0.65 ciclo/s) fueron menores (p < 0.04) en comparación con los patrones R4 y R5. El IMC aumenta el tiempo necesario para el rendimeinto óptimo de la prueba (b = 0.39). Se concluye que el patrón respiratorio R2 fue el más eficaz para nadadores aficionados.
DEFENSA INDIVIDUAL EN BALONMANO: INFLUENCIA DE LOS CONSTREÑIMIENTOS DE LA TAREA
Authors: Flores-Rodríguez J. , Ramírez-Macías G. 
Published: July 2021

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue analizar la influencia que ejercen determinados constreñimientos o limitaciones de la tarea en el aprendizaje de habilidades defensivas en balonmano. Empleando un diseño observacional y mediante el uso de un instrumento de observación ad hoc, se registraron los comportamientos realizados por 14 jugadores (M=14,6) a lo largo de seis sesiones, mientras disputaron 18 partidos en situación de juego reducido, empleando ambos equipos un sistema defensivo individual. Los partidos se disputaron en presencia de tres constreñimientos, y para estudiar su influencia en los comportamientos de los jugadores, se utilizó la técnica de coordenadas polares. Se encontró que la prohibición del bote facilita la defensa de desmarques, mientras que la obligatoriedad de recibir y pasar en movimiento facilita la defensa de fintas, interceptaciones, así como, la realización de doblajes y deslizamientos. Estos resultados pueden ayudar a los entrenadores a optimizar sus programas de entrenamiento.

Authors: Oliveira V.M. , Brasil, M.R , Mattes V.V. , Álvarez V.A.E. , Souza J. 
Published: July 2021

Este estudio tiene como objetivo investigar el proceso de recepción y apropiación del trabajo de Norbert Elías en el campo de la Educación Física brasileña. Para cumplir tal objetivo, se realizó un análisis de las ocho principales revistas científicas socioculturales del país. Después de la recolección de datos, se encontraron 452 estudios que tenían alguna relación con la referencia del autor. Entre los principales resultados, se señala que el proceso de recepción del trabajo del sociólogo comenzó alrededor de la década de 1990, intensificándose solo en la presente década. Aunque ha habido un crecimiento de estudios en relación con las contribuciones de Elías en la literatura, al analizar los textos de muestra, se dio cuenta que solo el 17,61% tenía una apropiación profunda del modus operandi elíasiano. Además, la mayoría de los estudios estaban relacionados con el deporte y el ocio, lo que indica la posibilidad de que el autor sea explorado en otros contextos.

Published: July 2021

El objetivo de este estudio fue examinar los efectos de un programa de actividad física (AF) de andar en la función muscular en pacientes con EPOC (Enfermedad Pulmonar Obstructiva Crónica), con un seguimiento de 12 meses. Se reclutaron 44 hombres (70,3 ± 6,7 años) diagnosticados de EPOC moderado-severo. El grupo intervención realizó un programa de actividad física (GAF) y el grupo control (GCO) siguió su tratamiento estándar. Se midió la fuerza máxima (1RM) del miembro inferior y superior, la potencia muscular del miembro inferior (50% y 70% 1RM) y la actividad física, antes y después de 12 meses. A los 12 meses, incremento un 8% (P<0,01) la 1RM del miembro inferior en GAF, sin cambios en GCO. La potencia muscular al 50%1RM incrementó un 12% en GAF, disminuyendo un 9% in GCO (P<0,05). Un programa de AF incrementa la fuerza y preserva la potencia muscular del miembro inferior.
