SUMMARYOokinetes are the motile and invasive stages of Plasmodium parasites in the mosquito host. Here we explore the role of intracellular Ca2+ in ookinete survival and motility as well as in the formation of oocysts in vitro in the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei. Treatment with the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 induced death of the parasite, an effect that could be prevented if the ookinetes were co-incubated with insect cells before incubation with the ionophore. Treatment with the intracellular calcium chelator BAPTA/AM resulted in increased formation of oocysts in vitro. Calcium imaging in the ookinete using fluorescent calcium indicators revealed that the purified ookinetes have an intracellular calcium concentration in the range of 100 nm. Intracellular calcium levels decreased substantially when the ookinetes were incubated with insect cells and their motility was concomitantly increased. Our results suggest a pleiotropic role for intracellular calcium in the ookinete.

This interdisciplinary collection investigates the forms that authority assumed in nineteenth-century Ireland, the relations they bore to international redefinitions of authority, and Irish contributions to the reshaping of authority in the modern age. At a time when age-old sources of social, political, spiritual and cultural authority were eroded in the Western world, Ireland witnessed both the restoration of older forms of authority and the rise of figures who defined new models of authority in a democratic age. Using new comparative perspectives as well as archival resources in a wide range of fields, eleven chapters show how new authorities were embodied in emerging types of politicians, clerics and professionals, and in material extensions of their power in visual, oral and print cultures. Their analyses often eerily echo twenty-first-century debates about populism, the suspicion towards scholarly and intellectual expertise, and the role of new technologies and forms of association in contesting and recreating authority. Several contributions highlight the role of emotion in the way authority was deployed by figures ranging from O’Connell to Catholic priests and W.B. Yeats, foreshadowing the perceived rise of emotional politics in our own age. This volume stresses that many contested forms of authority that now look ‘traditional’ emerged from 19th-century crises and developments, as did the challenges that undermine authority.

Engineering Pedagogy

This paper sets out to challenge the common pedagogies found in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education with a particular focus on engineering. The dominant engineering pedagogy remains “chalk and talk”; despite research evidence that demonstrates its ineffectiveness. Such pedagogical approaches do not embrace the possibilities provided by more student-centric approaches and more active learning. The paper argues that there is a potential confusion in engineering education around the role of active learning approaches, and that the adoption of these approaches may be limited as a result of this confusion, combined with a degree of disciplinary egocentrism. The paper presents examples of design, engineering and technology projects that demonstrate the effectiveness of adopting pedagogies and delivery methods more usually attributed to the liberal arts such as studio based learning. The paper concludes with some suggestions about how best to create a fertile environment from which inquiry based learning can emerge as well as a reflection on whether the only real limitation on cultivating such approaches is the disciplinary egocentrism of traditional engineering educators.

Several university alliances have been established in Europe in an attempt to influence the development of policies in research and education. As such, these alliances can be seen as being new players in the increasingly complex multi-actor, multi-level governance in this policy domain. The paper compares two key university alliances in Europe; in particular, how membership differences are related to their positions in the policy arena, their policy agendas and their policy formation and lobbying practices. The study contributes to understanding of, first, the role of university alliances in European level policy processes concerning higher education and research; and, second, the implications their involvement might have for future shaping of European initiatives in the knowledge domain.

<p><strong><em>ABSTRAKSI: </em></strong><em>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan peranan seorang seniman bernama Ateng Japar dalam mengembangkan seni pertunjukan Longser di Kabupaten Bandung, Jawa Barat, Indonesia, dari tahun 1975-2002. Masalah utama yang dibahas adalah bagaimana dinamika perkembangan seni pertunjukan Longser pada masa Ateng Japar, 1975-2002. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu metode historis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Longser merupakan seni teater rakyat yang hidup di daerah Priangan, khususnya di Kabupaten Bandung. Longser seringkali disebut sebagai seni sandiwara rakyat yang banyak menampilkan tarian-tarian berpasangan dan memberikan kesempatan kepada para penonton untuk menari bersama dengan penarinya. Pada tahun 1939, Ateng Japar mendirikan kelompok Longser yang diberi nama “Pancawarna”. Awalnya, kelompok ini melakukan pertunjukan dengan cara mengamen, namun memasuki tahun 1970-an terjadi peralihan tempat pertunjukan, yakni kedalam gedung kesenian. Pada tahun 2002, sang seniman Ateng Japar diberitakan wafat dan hal ini berdampak pada perkembangan Longser yang semakin meredup. Selain itu, masuknya pengaruh globalisasi yang diikuti oleh perubahan zaman yang semakin maju dan modern, pada akhirnya membuat seni pertunjukan Longser yang masih bertahan hingga saat ini kurang mendapat tempat di hati masyarakat luas. Eksistensi Longser semakin diperparah ketika sebagian masyarakat, terutama dari kalangan generasi muda, masih banyak yang belum mengetahui tentang seni pertunjukan Longser. </em></p><p><strong><em>KATA KUNCI:</em></strong><em> Longser, teater rakyat, Ateng Japar, perubahan zaman, dan pengaruh globalisasi.</em><em> </em></p><p><strong><em>ABSTRACT: </em></strong><em>“Ateng Japar: The Legend of Longser Performing Arts and His Roles in Bandung Regency, 1975 - 2002”.<strong> </strong>This study aims to explain the role of an artist named Ateng Japar in developing the performing arts of Longser in Bandung regency, West Java, Indonesia, in the period of 1975-2002. The main issue discussed is the development of Longser performing arts organized by Ateng Japar from 1975-2002. The method used in this research is the historical method. The results showed that Longser is the art of theater folks who live in the Priangan region, especially in Bandung regency. Longser, often referred to as a theatrical art, displays many folk dances in pairs and provide an opportunity for the audience to dance along with the dancers. In 1939, Ateng Japar established a Longser group named “Pancawarna” (five colours). Initially, this group performed by singing, but by the 1970s, there was a shift in the venue into an art gallery. In 2002, the artist Ateng Japar passed away, and his death negatively affected the development of Longser. Besides, the influence of globalization followed by a change of more advanced and modern age, eventually, makes the performing arts of Longser, although still survives today, less appreciated by the wider community. The existence of Longser is threatened when most people, especially the younger generations, do not know about the Longser.</em></p><p><strong><em>KEY WORD:</em></strong><em> Longser, people theater, Ateng Japar, change of time, and influence of globalization.</em></p><p><img src="/public/site/images/wirta/08.april_.upi_.ok_.jpg" alt="" /></p><p><strong><em>About the Author:</em></strong> <strong>Apriliani Hardiyanti Hariyono, S.Pd.</strong> adalah Alumni Departemen Pendidikan Sejarah FPIPS UPI (Fakultas Pendidikan Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia), Jalan Dr. Setiabudhi No.229 Bandung 40154, Jawa Barat, Indonesia.

Abstract The introduction to this special issue provides some considerations on early modern sanctity as a historical object. It firstly presents the major shifts in the developing idea of sanctity between the late medieval period and the nineteenth century, passing through the early modern construction of sanctity and its cultural, social, and political implications. Secondly, it provides an overview of the main sources that allow historians to retrace early modern sanctity, especially canonization records and hagiographies. Thirdly, it offers an overview of the ingenious role of the Society of Jesus in the construction of early modern sanctity, by highlighting its ability to employ, create, and play with hagiographical models. The main Jesuit models of sanctity are then presented (i.e., the theologian, the missionary, the martyr, the living saint), and an important reflection is reserved for the specific martyrial character of Jesuit sanctity. The introduction assesses the continuity of the Jesuit hagiographical discourse throughout the long history of the order, from the origins to the suppression and restoration.

The paper presents the results of research that included comparative study of the place and role of female characters in selected and representative comedies by Serbian comedigrapher Branislav Nušić (eng. MP, Suspicious person, Mrs Minister, Bereaved family, Dr, Deceased; srb. Narodni poslanik, Sumnjivo lice, Ožalošćena porodica, Dr, Pokojnik, Vlast) and Bulgarian comedigrapher Stefan Kostov (eng. Gold mine, Golemanov, Grasshoppers, Nameless comedy; blg. Zlamnama mina, Golemanov, Skakalci, Komediâ bez ime) in order to find similarities and differences in the process of comedigraphic shaping of female characters in the work of these two authors. The subject of the research was viewed primarily from a literary-theoretical point of view, and the dominant methods of study were comparative and analytical-synthetic. During the research, there was a differentiation of female characters in accordance with their motivational structures, psychological assemblies and the nature of the place and the role they play in the social environment in which they are located. Therefore, we can distinguish female characters who live in the province and who are fully representative of the small-town spirit, female characters who live in the capital and are a symbol of the modern age and female characters who dwell in the capital, but in fact, deeply down still carry a small-town view of the world. The structure of this paper is in line with this distinction. Conclusions made at the end of the study show that the representation of female characters in analyzed comedies of both comedigaphers is highly similar in its nature.
