Indonesia merupakan negara dengan masyarakat yang majemuk yang memiliki berbagai ras, agama, suku, kebudayaan, dan lain sebagainya. Meskipun demikian, hingga hari ini kabar mengenai perilaku intoleran masih sering ditemui. Kejadian-kejadian intoleran tersebut pada umumnya dialami oleh mereka yang memiliki ras, suku, keyakinan, kebudayaan, pola berpikir, pilihan politik, ataupun kondisi fisik yang berbeda. Sebagai respons terhadap permasalahan tersebut, muncul keinginan untuk menciptakan karya yang berkaitan dengan Bapak Pluralisme Indonesia atau Gus Dur. Dikarenakan salah satu hasil perjuangannya melawan intoleransi adalah pengembalian hak etnis Tionghoa, maka karya yang kemudian tercipta adalah karya-karya dengan objek yang berasal dari kebudayaan Tionghoa. Sebagai hasil, tercipta dua karya keramik terakota dengan qilin sebagai objeknya. Pemilihan qilin tersebut tidak hanya dikarenakan ia merupakan makhluk mitologi dari kebudayaan Tionghoa, tetapi juga dikarenakan kaitannya dengan kisah kelahiran Konfusius, nabi agama Konghucu. Supaya konsep toleransi dengan mengangkat penghapusan intoleransi yang dialami etnis Tionghoa di Indonesia tidak hilang, qilin pada karya ini juga dibuat dalam kondisi tidur. Kondisi tersebut dibuat sebagai tanda bahwa si hewan mitologi ini sedang tenang, terbebas dari ancaman larangan yang pernah dialami oleh etnis Tionghoa di Indonesia dari tahun 1967 hingga tahun 2000.Indonesia is a country that has a large variety of races, religions, ethnicities, cultures, etc., within its people. Even though it is a pluralistic country, having something like a different race, ethnicity, belief, culture, mindset, political choice, or even physical conditions can still be an issue. As a response to this problem, I then created two artworks as a reminder about the legacy of Indonesia’s third president who is known for his fight against discrimination, Abdurrahman Wahid. Since one of his most known legacies is the removal of the Chinese ban in Indonesia at year 2000, the model used in the creation of the artworks is from a myth in Chinese traditions. As a result, two qilin terracotta ceramic artworks were created. The qilin was used not only because it’s a Chinese mythological creature, but also because of its relation to the legend of the birth of the Chinese philosopher who’s also known as the prophet of the Confucianism, Confucius. To express the freedom due to the ban removal, the qilins in these artworks were then made sleeping. This position was used to make these mythological creatures look relaxed, or in other words, look like it’s free from the predator that preys on it from year 1967 to year 2000.

Purpose A prior analysis by the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) showed that women and African American patients were adequately represented on cancer clinical treatment trials but that older patients were substantially underrepresented. Twenty-five percent of patients ≥ 65 years old were enrolled onto SWOG trials from 1993 to 1996, whereas 63% of all patients with cancer were ≥ 65 years old. Recognition of this under-representation led to a change in Medicare policy in 2000 to include coverage of routine patient care costs of clinical trials. We conducted an updated analysis of accrual trends. Methods The proportions of enrollment onto SWOG treatment trials by sex, race/ethnicity, and age (≥ 65 years) were computed for the years 1997 to 2000; corresponding rates in the United States were derived from US Census and National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results data. Additionally, method of payment data were analyzed over time (1993 to 2003) to assess whether patterns in method of payment changed with the new Year 2000 Medicare policy on clinical trials coverage. Results The results showed continued adequate representation by sex and race/ethnicity. Older patient accrual on SWOG trials increased significantly since 2000, with 31% of patients ≥ 65 years old enrolled from 1997 to 2000 and 38% enrolled from 2001 to 2003 (v 25% from 1993 to 1996). The percentage of patients using Medicare plus supplemental insurance also increased beginning in 2000, whereas the percentage of patients using Medicare alone remained the same. Conclusion Method of payment analyses provided evidence that the Year 2000 Medicare policy change had a positive impact, but only for those patients with supplemental private coverage of coinsurance costs. Improvements in the Medicare payment structure could further increase older patient participation in clinical trials.

The Creation

AbstractMany of the conflicts that have led to the creation of hybrid tribunals were identity-based conflicts – people who identified as members of one tribe, race, ethnicity, or religion used these distinctions as grounds to attack and persecute another group who often responded in kind. This reality means that the criminal justice processes that take place in the wake of such conflicts must take issues of identity seriously to be effective. This article uses the notion of framing contests to examine different identity-based responses to international justice. Defenders of the tribunals seek to portray them as impartial observers while critics paint them as illegitimate outsiders. Because hybrid tribunals have identity considerations as features built into them, they are better suited to promote their own legitimacy in these framing contests. These features include the personnel they use, the witnesses they call, the strategies their prosecutors deploy, and their local outreach programmes. Each of these tools can be used to frame the tribunal as a legitimate means to promote criminal justice and thereby advance the values of transitional justice.

Autism Prevalence

Abstract County-level ASD prevalence was estimated using an age-resolved snapshot from the California Department of Developmental Services (DDS) for birth years 1993–2013. ASD prevalence increased among all children across birth years 1993–2000 but plateaued or declined thereafter among whites from wealthy counties. In contrast, ASD rates increased continuously across 1993–2013 among whites from lower income counties and Hispanics from all counties. Both white ASD prevalence and rate of change in prevalence were inversely correlated to county income from birth year 2000–2013 but not 1993–2000. These disparate trends within the dataset suggest that wealthy white parents, starting around 2000, may have begun opting out of DDS in favor of private care and/or making changes that effectively lowered their children’s risk of ASD.

RESUMO: As transformações no campo político, com a presença mais ativa de grupos religiosos atuantes em reação a pautas que ampliam direitos de mulheres e da população LGBTI, são marcas do Brasil nos anos 2000. Um dos mais expres­sivos casos relacionados a esta dinâmica é a construção imaginária dos grupos religiosos conservadores em torno da categoria “gênero”, resultante na criação da noção de “ideologia de gênero”, como inimiga a ser combatida no campo político, e é o objeto deste estudo. Para isto, será desenvolvida inicialmente uma revisão da compreensão de “gênero” como categoria científica analítica e das políticas públicas que provocaram a emergência de movimentos religiosos reacionários. Em um segundo momento se discutirá a criação da noção de “ideologia de gênero” e sua propagação, com base no conceito de construção do imaginário coletivo pela linguagem. ABSTRACT: The transformations in the political field, with the more active pres­ence of religious groups acting in response to projects that expand the rights of women and the LGBTI population, are highlights in the Brazilian context in the year 2000. One of the most expressive cases related to this dynamic is the con­struction of the imaginary of conservative religious groups around the “gender” category, resulting in the creation of the notion of “gender ideology”, as an enemy to be fought in the political field, and is the object of this study. For this, a review of the understanding of “gender” as an analytical scientific category and of the public policies that provoked the emergence of reactionary religious movements will be developed initially. In a second moment the article will discuss the creation of the notion of “gender ideology” and its propagation, based on the concept of collective imaginary construction by language.

The article presents the main causes of water and sand production in oil wells, the consequences of forma-tion of sand plugs and also the methods of prevention of this type of problem. The authors developed the method of reduction of sand production in oil wells. The distinguishing feature of developed method from known ones is the creation of sand filter directly inside the oil well. For effective selection of proppants as applied to geological and physical conditions of wells the authors developed a software «Proppants», which is a database on physical and mechanical and filtration properties of proppants.

Chapter 6 addresses Franklin’s inherently sociable nature, which led him to join many organizations such as the Masons in Philadelphia. He founded the American Philosophical Society, and the Junto, out of which emerged the Library Company. These institutions were based on high-minded discussion of ideas and provisions for public health as well as ordinary efforts to improve Philadelphia’s physical conditions. The chapter outlines the founding of the College of Philadelphia, the Union Fire Company, and the Pennsylvania Hospital, as well as the improvement of sidewalks, installation of streetlights, and the creation of a private militia. It discusses Franklin’s commitment to life in Philadelphia—another connection to Protestantism which started as an urban faith and in much of its early development depended on institutions and churches located in cities.

This article explores the Da‘wah Movement of Jamaah Tabligh in building religious community in Temboro Magetan. One one of the main teachings is the principle of ikrâm al-Muslim (honoring and respecting every Muslim). The principle makes the missionary movement acceptable to the Muslim community widely. This principle is really important for the creation of the unity of the Muslims in the name of ukhuwwah Islâmîyah (Islamic brotherhood). This principle prohibits a believer to guestion the religious stream, political choice, position, and social status and background of the individual community of individual Muslims. The principle eventually enables the tabligh community to adapt to different environments and preaching fileds in building religious community. Initially, people did not respond the tabligh mission in Temboro, but it did not dampen the spirit of tablighis to preach. They remain persistent and patient in fighting for the truth of Islam. Their goal is to liven the passion of high religiosity.

AbstractTabulating population demographics, including “ethnicity,” “nationality,” and “race,” has long been a mark of the modern state. Achieved through its statisticians, this requires the designation and operationalization of relevant categories. Such category-making practices are commonly “invisible,” as is, consequently, their role in making up race-ethnic identities, especially when conducted through the ordinary “everyday-ness” of registering for public services. In this article, the politics of category-making for counting purposes meets the politics of “ethnicity” and “race.” The article examines the creation of categories to tabulate “race-ethnic” concepts and identities through registration practices, as seen in The Netherlands. Registration form questions and answers show how “race,” “ethnicity,” and related ideas are being constructed, implicitly, through commonplace, everyday activities. What makes this case unusual is that these activities take place within an explicit policy restriction on the use of “race.” The article concludes with implications for policy-making with respect to the actuarial, “calculating” state and for theorizing the play of race-ethnic categories in policy practices for tabulating populations.

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.

It is well-known that solar activity is basically caused by the Interaction of magnetic fields with convection and solar rotation, resulting in a great variety of dynamic phenomena, like flares, surges, sunspots, prominences, etc. Many conferences have been devoted to solar activity, including the role of magnetic fields. Similar attention has not been paid to the role of magnetic fields for the overall dynamics and energy balance of the solar atmosphere, related to the general problem of chromospheric and coronal heating. To penetrate this problem we have to focus our attention more on the physical conditions in the ‘quiet’ regions than on the conspicuous phenomena in active regions.
