Religious Violence in the Indonesian Democratic Era

The Indonesian democratic era has provided hope for the growth of mutual social practices established upon diversity of ethnicity, religions, race, and inter-group relations. Yet, in the last decade, various forms of violence were often carried out on behalf of religion instead. These acts of violence were not only physical but also psychological (cultural), in the forms of discrimination, abuse, expulsion, insult, and threat. The Ahmadiyya and Shia cases, for instance, provide an outlook regarding the prevalence of violence within social practices in the community in response to differences. Why does such violence remain to occur in Indonesia?  The work finds that, aside from a ‘failed understanding of religious texts’, excessive truth claim also triggers acts of religious violence in the current era of Indonesian democracy. It is of utmost importance that people’s understanding and interpretation of differences be set straight so that any response to differences can be considered as an embryo of national power that serves as an instrument employed for uniting the people of this nation instead of disuniting them. It is also strongly indicated by the work that religious violence may be avoided by changing the understanding of the meaning of differences

More, More, More: Reducing Thrombosis in Acute Coronary Syndromes Beyond Dual Antiplatelet Therapy-Current Data and Future Directions.

© 2018 The Authors. Published on behalf of the American Heart Association, Inc., by Wiley.Common to the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is the formation of arterial thrombus, which results from platelet activation and triggering of the coagulation cascade.1 To attenuate the risk of future thrombotic events, patients with ACS are treated with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), namely, the combination of aspirin with a P2Y12 inhibitor, such as clopidogrel, ticagrelor, or prasugrel. Despite DAPT, some ≈10% of ACS patients experience recurrent major adverse cardiovascular events over the subsequent 30 days,2 driving the quest for more effective inhibition of thrombotic pathways. In this review, we provide an overview of studies to date and those ongoing that aim to deliver more effective combinations of antithrombotic agents to patients with recent ACS. We have chosen to confine the review to ACS patients without atrial fibrillation because those with atrial fibrillation have a clear indication for combination therapy that includes oral anticoagulation and should, we feel, be treated as a separate cohort. In this article, we discuss the limitations of the currently available clinical trial data and future directions, with suggestions for how practice might change to reduce the risk of coronary thrombosis in those at greatest risk, with minimal impact on bleeding.Peer reviewedFinal Published versio

PENGGUNAAN ALIH KODE DALAM MILIS BEASISWA

Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis alih kode yang ditemukan di komunitas mailing list (milis)pencari beasiswa. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menjawab pertanyaan: faktor sosial apa sajakahyang mempengaruhi penggunaan alih kode yang terjadi di komunikasi virtual tersebut? Penelitiandeskriptif kualitatif ini mengkaji 31 surat elektronik pada grup milis beasiswa http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beasiswa/. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa alih kode terjadi karenadipengaruhi empat faktor. Pertama, topik tentang beasiswa memegang peranan penting dalammendorong terjadinya fenomena bahasa ini.Dalam beberapa konteks, alih kode terjadi karenapenggunaan Bahasa Inggris lebih tepat untuk menjelaskan istilah-istilah yang berkaitan denganbeasiswa. Kedua, latar belakang pendidikan para anggota milis memungkinkan mereka menggunakanmulti bahasa dan mengalihkan Bahasa Indonesia ke Bahasa Inggris untuk berkomunikasi satu samalain. Ketiga, adanya solidaritas virtual diantara partisipan juga berkontribusi pada terjadinyafenomena ini.Gaya bahasa yang digunakan diantara anggota milis adalah gaya bahasa kasualkarenasuasana pembicaraan tidak formal maka mereka dapat secara leluasa menggunakan alihbahasa. Keempat, fungsi percakapan di dalam milis, yaitu untuk memberikan informasi danmemotivasi para anggota, juga mendorong penggunaan alih kode .

Penggantian Sebagian Ransum Komersil Oleh Jagung Dan Pengaruhnya Terhadap Kualitas Fisik Daging Broiler

The study aimed to evaluate the physical quality of broiler meat that give commercial ration partially substituted by corn. The study used 80 broiler chickens aged 21 days. Chicken is divided into 4 (four) groups of body weight as replicates, each group consisted of 5 replicates chickens. The treatments were given in this study consisted of substitution of 0%, 10, 20% and 30% by commercial ration of corn. The results showed that the use of corn as a substitute for commercial ration significantly (P <0.05) to the water holding capacity, cooking loss and meatbone ratio, but not significant (P> 0.05) on the pH value of the meat. Water holding capacity on the use of corn 30% (34.40%) is significantly higher than the use of maize 0% (15.7%), 10% (22.33%) and 20% (23.78%). Water holding capacity on the use of corn 10% and 20% in commercial diet showed no significant difference. Cooking loss meat on the use of corn 30% (26.32%) is lower than the use of maize 0% (39.47%), 10% (34.21%) and 20% (36.11%), while the meatbone ratio treatment 10% corn (3.83) is higher than the treatment 20% and 30% corn. The range of pH values ​​in this study was 6.5 to 6.8 with the average of 6.63. Substitution of commercial rations by as much as 30% corn gives the value of the high water holding capacity and low cooking loss, while meatbone ratio highest found in 10% of substitution treatment

Activity autocorrelation in financial markets. A comparative study between several models

We study the activity, i.e., the number of transactions per unit time, of financial markets. Using the diffusion entropy technique we show that the autocorrelation of the activity is caused by the presence of peaks whose time distances are distributed following an asymptotic power law which ultimately recovers the Poissonian behavior. We discuss these results in comparison with ARCH models, stochastic volatility models and multi-agent models showing that ARCH and stochastic volatility models better describe the observed experimental evidences.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figure
