Published: November 2021

Abstract
Shallot is an important cash crop in Indonesia. However, its productivity is relatively low, due to the attack of the onion caterpillar (Spodoptera exigua Hubner). This study aimed to identify the effect of the application of control techniques on the population, damage intensity, and shallots yield. This research was conducted by field experiment. Control treatment consisted of covering shallots by using gauze/net and insecticide treatment with active ingredients of profenofos, metomil, and carbosulfan. The research variables consisted of the population and the damage intensity of S. exigua, as well as the yield of shallots. The results showed that the caterpillars population of S. exigua was found at 16 DAP and increased up to before harvest at 44 DAP. Covering shallots with gauze effectively suppressed the population of S. exigua (0.0 per hills), followed by treatment with profenofos (0.14 per hills), carbosulfan (0.15 per hills), and methomyl 0.32 per hills). The damage intensity of S. exigua in the plot gauze covered was 0%, lower than 32%, 25%, 12%, 10%, respectively, in the control plot, treatment of metomil, carbosulfan, and profenofos. Covering shallots with gauze also increased the weight of wet-harvested tubers (50.83 g per hills).

Published: November 2021

Abstract
The era of global trade is a political system based on international rules and agreements that encourage and stabilize economic exchanges between countries. One of the impacts is the demand for a shift in government role to the private sector. The poultry sector plays an important role in providing 65% of the need for animal protein consumption in Indonesia. A product certification body of seed and breeding stock poultry is a tool used in global trade to increase product competitiveness in the global market. By applying standards in trade, it is expected to improve the performance of producers so that they can produce quality products, fair competition in trade, and provide protection to the public and consumers. Unfortunately, the existing seed and livestock certification institutions are still fully initiated by the government. Meanwhile, private participation in establishing a seed and poultry seed product certification body through public-private partnerships (PPPs) is still far from expectations.

The effectivity of Biduri combined with indigenous bacteria in mercury absorption
Authors: Sutami  , Purwanto  , Rosariastuti R 
Published: November 2021

AbstractHeavy metals pollution, especially Mercury (Hg), is one of the most serious environmental problems. The presence of excessive Hg will cause soil degradation and threaten the life of the ecosystem, for that remediation is necessary. Biduri is known to be able to absorb heavy metals, but there is no research on the ability of Biduri in absorb Hg. The use of indigenous bacteria is expected to increase the absorption of Mercury by Biduri. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of Biduri combined with indigenous bacteria andAgrobacteriumsp I37 in absorbing of Hg in the soil. The experimental was designed as factorial with completely randomized design, consisting of 2 factors namely Bioremediation agent (A0: without bioremediation agent, A1: indigenous bacteria, A3:Agrobacteriumsp I37) and Hg dosage (D0: without Hg, D1: Hg 0.3 µg.g-1, D2: Hg 0.51 µg.g-1). The results showed that the combination of Biduri with indigenous bacteria + 0.3 µg.g-1Hg shows highest absorption of Hg at 57.19 µg (99.24% higher than control) and reduce soil Hg levels by 0.09 µg.g-1. Biduri is a hyperaccumulator plant because it is able to absorb more than 10 µg.g-1of mercury.

Abstract
The complexity of the problems in the beef cattle farming system in Central Java is challenging. Identification and mapping of the problems are an important part of the process to determine the policy strategy. The research objectives were to identify and to map the problem structure in beef cattle farming system in Central Java. Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) was employed to analyze the relationship between problems in beef cattle farming system. Data were collected through literature review and in-depth interviews with several stakeholders which consisting of academics, practitioners, and local governments. The results showed that the problems of beef cattle farming in Central Java were related to the availability of feed, farmers socio-economic conditions, and the production and reproduction of the cattle. Problems related to the animal feed availability is a leverage point in solving cattle problems in Central Java. The feed strengthening strategy is expected being priority in the context of developing beef cattle farms in Central Java.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
The increasing rate of climate change has been staggering over the past couple of years. It causes a lot of changes in the earth’s biosphere. The earth’s temperature has been increasing in an unprecedented phase, causing the seawater to expand and ice over land to melt, both of which can cause a rise in sea level. Given this problematic issue, the world leaders somehow do not put enough action to tackle this. When world leaders are failing our future by not taking the climate change issue seriously, a young girl from Sweden named Greta Thunberg is about to set a global spark of global movement concerning global warming. Since she began to strike outside the Swedish parliament, she gained the public’s attention, especially youth. This study aims to analyze how Greta Thunberg influences youth worldwide to take action against climate change using social media. This article uses social activism theory and Collaborative Internet Utilities to analyze the global phenomenon. This Journal uses qualitative research methodology. The data and relevant information are being analyzed to explain Greta’s influence on global youth regarding climate change and its effects on global politics.

A Pure Theory with a Naturalistic Fallacy? A Critique of Kletzer’s Reformulation
Authors: Somek Alexander 
Published: November 2021

Abstract:
Kletzer’s book is the most important and most original contribution to the project of the Pure Theory of law that we have seen in decades. The reformulation that is offered by Kletzer raises the question, however, whether it is also consistent with Kelsen’s original project. This may be doubted, for it is to be feared that Kletzer’s theory involves a variety of the naturalistic fallacy and celebrates de facto as natural law the law of the jungle. As an attempt to continue the legacy of the Pure Theory, Kletzer’s contribution fails. The root of the failure lies in the conflation of alethic and deontic modalities.

Published: November 2021

ABSTRACT

Background
Plasma copeptin, a surrogate marker for vasopressin levels, is increased in neonates born preterm, particularly in those with a more severe neonatal course, as reflected by bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Copeptin levels in adulthood are unknown.

Methods
In this case–control study of 101 adults born very preterm (&lt;30 weeks of gestation) and 105 control adults born full-term, a comprehensive clinical and biological assessment was performed, including blood pressure measurements, kidney ultrasound and determination of plasma copeptin, renin activity, angiotensin II, aldosterone, apelin, sodium and potassium, serum and morning urine osmolality.

Results
The median age in the study was 23.1 years [interquartile range (IQR) 21.2–24.8] and 57% were females. In males, the median copeptin levels were 8.2 pmol/L (IQR 6.3–12.4) and 6.1 pmol/L (IQR 4.3–9.0) in the preterm and term groups, respectively (P = 0.022). In females, the median copeptin levels were 5.2 pmol/L (IQR 3.9–7.6) and 4.0 pmol/L (IQR 2.8–5.7) in the preterm and term groups, respectively (P = 0.005). Adults born preterm with a history of bronchopulmonary dysplasia had further increased copeptin levels. The kidney volume, adjusted for height, was smaller and albuminuria was higher in the preterm group, and both were associated with higher plasma copeptin levels.

Conclusions
Plasma copeptin is higher in young adults born preterm and is related to a more severe neonatal course and smaller kidney volume.

Published: November 2021

Abstract

Aims
Absence from work or school in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) is an understudied domain. Illness identity, which is the degree to which a chronic illness is integrated into one’s identity, could be hypothesized to be a predictor for absenteeism. This study determined the proportion of young adults with CHD absent from work or school and examined if illness identity dimensions were related to absenteeism.

Methods and results
In a cross-sectional study, we included 255 patients with CHD. Data on absence from work or school over the past 12 months were obtained using self-report. The Illness Identity Questionnaire was used, which comprises four illness identity dimensions: rejection, engulfment, acceptance, and enrichment. Linear models with doubly robust estimations were computed after groups were balanced using propensity weighting. Absence from work/school occurred in 69% of young adults with CHD. Absence because of CHD specifically was present in 15% of the patients. Engulfment was significantly related to both all-cause absence and absence for CHD reasons.

Conclusions
Patients who strongly define themselves in terms of their heart disease were more likely to be absent from work or school than those who did not. If this finding can be confirmed in future research, it has the potential to be a target for intervention to influence work/school absence.
Improved structural methods for nonlinear differential-algebraic equations via combinatorial relaxation
Authors: Oki Taihei 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) are widely used for modelling dynamical systems. In the numerical analysis of DAEs, consistent initialization and index reduction are important preprocessing steps prior to numerical integration. Existing DAE solvers commonly adopt structural preprocessing methods based on combinatorial optimization. Unfortunately, structural methods fail if the DAE has a singular system Jacobian matrix. For such DAEs, methods have been proposed to modify them to other DAEs to which structural methods are applicable, based on the combinatorial relaxation technique. Existing modification methods, however, work only for DAEs that are linear or close to linear. This paper presents two new modification methods for nonlinear DAEs: the substitution method and the augmentation method. Both methods are based on the combinatorial relaxation approach and are applicable to a large class of nonlinear DAEs. The substitution method symbolically solves equations for some derivatives based on the implicit function theorem and substitutes the solution back into the system. Instead of solving equations, the augmentation method modifies DAEs by appending new variables and equations. Our methods are implemented as a MATLAB library using MuPAD, and through its application to practical DAEs, we show that our methods can be used as a promising preprocessing of DAEs that the index reduction procedure in MATLAB cannot handle.
Procurement Competence and Framework Agreements for Upgraded Bed Bug Control [Cimex lectularius (Hemiptera: Cimicidae)]
Authors: Rukke Bjørn Arne , Roligheten Espen , Aak Anders 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The prevalence of bed bugs (Cimex lectularius L.) is increasing worldwide. Due to this increase, low-income housing owners and managers need an efficient method for controlling the pests without excessive resource use. The quality of pest control efforts is crucial for efficient eradication. Infestations often need to be approached using a variety of strategies through an integrated pest management (IPM) framework. Efficient eradication is often thought to be the responsibility of the pest control contractor alone. However, the purchase and supply management theory suggests that optimal solutions actually involve sound buyer–supplier relations to support the strategic aim of pest eradication. This study illustrates the positive outcomes of elevating pest management competence on the buyer’s part. Further, this study outlines a large-scale purchase situation that quantifies bed bug control efforts, in addition to their outcomes. In total, 11,000 apartment units were observed in Oslo, Norway, over a period of six years. The release and implementation of a procurement officer together with a state-of-the-art pest management framework agreement quickly reversed the consistent escalation of bed bug infestations in the observed units. Observations revealed that the study yielded the most success in eradicating bed bugs by increasing both the number of visits to the infested apartment and the overall duration of control efforts. The improved control was achieved at a reduced cost per infested apartment unit, which allowed for the implementation of bed bug preventive measures and building-wide inspections. The observations made in this study have been discussed in the context of the impact of bed bugs in low-income communities, relative to the factors of pest burden, demography, socioeconomics, and the welfare system in Norway.
Taste
Authors: Weir David , Desmarais Jane 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This article examines the confluence of cuisine and the culture of decadence by first describing the difficulty of identifying any type of food as inherently “decadent” in physiological terms. After acknowledging that the meaning of “decadence” depends on moral, social, and aesthetic contexts, the article focuses on the dissemination of aristocratic tastes in food following the French Revolution, when chefs who had formerly cooked for nobility opened their own restaurants; on the development of the idea of the gourmand subsequent to the publication of Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin’s Physiologie du Goût (The Physiology of Taste, 1825); on Charles Baudelaire’s decadent response to Brillat-Savarin in Les Paradis Artificiels (Artificial Paradises, 1860); on the role of Roman history in the development of popular conceptions of decadent cuisine; and on J.-K. Huysmans’s surprisingly limited interest in “decadent dining” in À rebours (Against Nature, 1884), despite his use of elaborate food metaphors to describe the literature of decadence.
Belgium
Authors: Dessy Clément 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
At the end of the nineteenth century, Belgium was at the peak of its power, and therefore suggesting little about decadence. The predominance of French in the cultural life of the country made Belgian writers and artists highly dependent on Parisian tendencies, but their new international visibility enabled many of them to position themselves as distinctive. Although a movement did not exist as such in Belgium, European decadence and fin-de-siècle aesthetics were deeply defined by a set of representations—attitudes, places, and use of language—that were associated with the new Belgian movement. Because of their self-proclaimed “Belgian soul” and northern identity, the Belgians could be perceived either as barbarians or as an energizing influence on France. They themselves represented their own cities as places of decadence, whether through the melancholy of Bruges or the corruption of Antwerp. Finally, their peculiar style of literature can be remembered as one their most original contributions to the decadent tradition.
Scripting Gabriel García Márquez’s Life
Authors: Hart Stephen M. 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Any biographical essay on the famous Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez (1927–2014) must take into account biographies that have already been written—including, of course, Dasso Saldívar’s thoughtful García Márquez: El viaje a la semilla; La biografía (1997), Gerald Martin’s excellent Gabriel García Márquez: A Life (2008), and Stephen M. Hart’s Gabriel García Márquez (2010)—counterbalanced by García Márquez’s own autobiography, Vivir para contarla (2002). This article (1) sets out the intrinsically significant events of Gabo’s life and the impact they had on his development as a writer (journalist, film critic, cultural/political commentator, writer of short fiction and long fiction); (2) focuses on the osmosis between his life and his literary work, including an analysis of the first and only volume of his memoirs and how they overlap with his literary works and, indeed, are at times overwhelmed by them, as present in particular in El amor en los tiempos del cólera (1985), inspired by his parents’ love affair, in which the version of events provided by the novel supersedes the “real” sequence of events; and (3) uses the notion of doubleness—evident in his life via the opposition between his “real” family and his “false” family of illegitimate offspring, produced by his grandfather’s wanton ways, as well as the figure of the “double” in his fiction and particularly Cien años de soledad (1967)—as a structuring device of the article’s emplotment.
Amerindian Wayúu Legacy and Garciamarquezian Literary Fable
Authors: Moreno Blanco Juan 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
García Márquez is the only novelist of the so-called Latin American Boom whose origins lie in the rural world. Does this bear on his personal upbringing, and does it project onto his literary fabulation/storytelling? This article attempts to reply in the affirmative to these questions, recognizing the intercultural and regional context whence the author comes and carrying out a perspectivist reading that will compare the highly frequent images of the supernatural in his stories and novels to the hierophantic images of Wayúu-Amerindian narrative tradition—to which the domestic servants who accompanied his childhood in the home of his maternal grandparents in Aracataca belonged. Among the author’s narratives, the first explicit mention of the Wayúu people (the Guajiros) occurs in “Monologue of Isabel Watching It Rain in Macondo.” And his intercultural childhood, which can be read as an autobiographical trait, is noticeable in the character Ulises’s heteroglossia in “Eréndira,” in the Buendía children in One Hundred Years of Solitude, and in Sierva María in Of Love and Other Demons. The article argues that the intercultural childhood of the novelist is the source of the co-presence of the natural and the supernatural as unfolded in these writings, which had Colombian culture and history almost as their exclusive subjects. To this innovative reinvention of the Colombian nation, the article attributes two larger cultural consequences: first, the subversion of national literary tradition, and second, the change in Colombia’s self-image brought about by its reception.
García Márquez in China
Authors: Teng Wei 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This article studies the history of the introduction and translation of Gabriel García Márquez’s works into contemporary China. Based on thoroughly exploring each key step in the process of translation and reception of his works—including selection of source texts, adoption of translation strategies, identity of translators, criticisms of translation, and the arguments over the key concepts—the article disinters the differences of cultural contexts among various historical periods in which García Márquez was introduced and accepted in China. This article is composed of five parts. The first part gives an overview of the history of translation and reception of García Márquez in China. Part two elaborates on the paradox of the Chinese version of “magic(al) realism,” which is widely used in Chinese contemporary literature. Part three is an exposition of the impact of García Márquez being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature and the myth of the impact of the Latin American Boom on Chinese literature in the 1980s. Part four deeply discusses why the works of García Márquez are deemed “new classics” in China in the twenty-first century, despite having been left out in the 1990s. Part five concludes that the description of the history of translation of García Márquez for four decades not only uncovers how the global publishing market and the system of literary criticism managed by the West influence Chinese translated literature, but also reveals the ideological conflicts in China since the 1980s.
