Against resignation: the Church’s tasks in the media world

Istnieje wiele perspektyw, zgodnie z którymi możemy badać media. Niniejszy artykuł analizuje je, mając na uwadze katolicką naukę społeczną i podkreśla, że technologie informatyczno-komunikacyjne stanowią narzędzia dla rozwoju człowieka i że nie są celami samymi w sobie. Ponadto stwierdza, że katolicka nauka społeczna nie określa, jakie instrumenty powinny być używane na rzecz rozwoju społecznego, lecz raczej skupia się na obserwacji kultury wytwarzanej podczas korzystania z technologii informatyczno-komunikacyjnych. Kultura ta powinna szanować osobistą wolność i odpowiedzialność każdej osoby społecznie aktywnej. Podczas gdy wiele publikacji często dotyczy literatury opisowej, w obecnej pracy skupiamy się na autorach analizujących koncepcyjną moc przemian społecznych wynikających z posługiwania się technologiami informatycznymi. Ta grupa autorów zazwyczaj odnosi się do trzech obszarów badawczych: ekonomii, polityki i technologii. Po przeanalizowaniu społecznego wpływu technologii informatyczno-komunikacyjnych w tych dziedzinach proponujemy wnioski końcowe. Wniosek dotyczący zadań, które powinny spełniać technologie informatyczno-komunikacyjne z punktu widzenia katolickiej nauki społecznej, to podkreślenie faktu, że ludzka motywacja pojawia się przed rozwojem technicznym i że praca ludzka stanowi najlepsze makro podejście dla rozwoju ludzkości.
Influence of the hydrostatic pressure on biogas production in anaerobic digesters

This paper aimed to investigate the influence of hydrostatic pressure on methanogens activity and consequently on biogas production in anaerobic digesters. The quality of biogas has been evaluated in terms of methane content in the gas resulting from fermentative processes in anoxic environments. A total of four experimental studies were carried out by using stainless steel pressure vessels, where an organic substrate, consisting of a mixture of cattle manure and unfiltered whey, has been conditioned in mesophylic temperature regime for pressures set at 0 bar, 2 bar, 4 bar and 6 bar, respectively. The activity of methanogens was determined by instrumental chemical analysis, using a gas chromatograph fitted with a flame ionization detector. Biogas generated in fermentative processes has been periodically sampled and analyzed during the period of the highest microbial activity. Furthermore, the number of methanogens before anaerobic digestion and after conditioning under various pressures has been determined by using the most probable number analytical method.
Miniaturised patch hybrid couplers using asymmetrically loaded cross slots

A miniaturised planar-circuit-type 3-dB patch hybrid coupler using asymmetrically loaded cross slots is presented. By loading a pair of cross slots on the squared patch, the overall size of the proposed patch hybrid coupler can be significantly reduced because of its inductive loading effect. A class of cross-slot patch hybrid couplers is then theoretically characterised and their good performance is realised by varying the cross slots width or length towards equalisation of the amplitudes at two output ports. Next, the cross slots are properly meandered so as to reduce their overall size by about 89%. Finally, two patch hybrid couplers with patch sizes of about 0.24lg squared and 0.18lg squared are designed and fabricated, respectively. All the predicted results are verified by experiment.
Based Tagless-Object Localization Using Back Projection

In many applications, it is required to locate objects. Such applications like, security, surveying and ubiquitous computing use the location and context awareness systems to identify and localize different objects. The object has to wear a tag whose signal is measured by one or more readers. In some applications, it is desirable that the object does not wear tags. This new technique allows the localization of tag-less objects indoors using RFID technology. The method is based on the concept of back projection which is used in image reconstruction in computed tomography. Numerical simulation as well as realtime data measurements show the feasibility of the proposed method.

Simulation analysis for the ultimate behavior of full-scale lead-rubber seismic isolation bearings

This paper presents a new three-dimensional analytical model for the accurate simulation of the ultimate behavior of full-scale lead-rubber seismic isolations bearings. The model comprises multiple shear springs at the mid-height and includes the interaction between biaxial shear and axial forces with nonlinear hysteresis. Severe loading tests for a range of different full-size lead-rubber bearings were conducted to obtain data to validate the analytical model. The test programs included a variety of different loading patterns, such as monotonic, cyclic, and horizontal bidirectional earthquake ground motions. Buckling or stiffening behavior was observed under large shear deformations and high axial loads. Very good agreement between the experimental and analytical results was obtained, indicating that the model is useful for the prediction of the seismic response of isolated structures under severe earthquake ground motions.
Prediction of Turbulent Thermal Boundary Layers Using Scalar Turbulence Modeling Techniques

The present investigation deals with the development of advanced scalar turbulence modeling approaches and their application to the calculation of non-isothermal wall-bounded flow phenomena. A new scalar modeling technique based on scalar turbulent scales is proposed and implemented at a second-order modeling approach. Instead of the classical analogy concept between the mechanical and the scalar transport mechanisms, a scalar time scale, defined as the ratio of the temperature variance and its rate of dissipation or scalar dissipation rate, is used to tackle the scalar turbulence closure problem. At the level of second-order modeling technique, the scalar scales are directly used to derive relationships for the different unknown correlations like the turbulent diffusion, the pressure-temperature gradient correlation, etc. The result is a very simple scalar Reynolds stress model capable of predicting various heat transport problems. Such a new modeling approach is compared with its standard mechanical counterpart as well as first-order models like the k-ε model and the g-χ model, a scalar version of the standard k-ε. Validation against experimental data is performed and shows clearly the benefits of adopting the right scale for the right phenomenon: mechanical scales for momentum transport and specific scalar scales for scalar transport.

Preparation of chlorothalonil microcapsules by interfacial polymerization

Chlorothalonil, a kind of antiseptic used widely, has special control effect on plant disease caused by fungus of fruits. Its existing dose forms have many disadvantages including active ingredients exposing in wind, rain and sunshine, easy decomposition and volatilization. In order to solve above-mentioned problems, the best way is to microencapsulate chlorothalonil. In the study, chlorothalonil microcapsules were prepared by interfacial polymerization with toluene-2,4-diisocyanate and hexamethylenetetramine as wall materials. By large number of pre-experiments, the optimal shear speed, shear time, stirring speed, stirring time and suitable solvents used in preparation process of chlorothalonil microcapsules were determined. By orthogonal experiments, the optimal ratio of wall materials, solvent and dispersant were determined with encapsulation efficiency measured by ultraviolet spectrophotometry as indicator. The particle size distribution of chlorothalonil microcapsules prepared was even, and the encapsulation efficiency is up to 94.65%.
AUTOMATIC ARRANGING MUSICAL SCORE FOR PIANO USING IMPORTANT MUSICAL ELEMENTS

There is a demand for arranging music composed using multiple instruments for a solo piano because there are several pianists who wish to practice playing their favorite songs or music. Generally, the method used for piano arrangement entails reducing original notes to fit on a two-line staff. However, a fundamental solution that improves originality and playability in conjunction with score quality continues to elude approaches proposed by extant studies. Hence, the present study proposes a new approach to arranging a musical score for the piano by using four musical components, namely melody, chords, rhythm, and the number of notes that can be extracted from an original score. The proposed method involves inputting an original score and subsequently generating both rightand left-hand playing parts of piano scores. With respect to the right part, optional notes from a chord were added to the melody. With respect to the left part, appropriate accompaniments were selected from a database comprising pop musical piano scores. The selected accompaniments are considered to correspond to the impression of an original score. High-quality solo piano scores reflecting original characteristics were generated and considered as part of playability.

This database is a repository of more than 9000 regulatory associations between genes and transcription factors in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, based on more than 900 bibliographic references. It also includes the description of 242 specific DNA binding sites for 102 characterized transcription factors. Further information about each yeast gene included in the database was extracted from a number of different sources, and combined in order to make available a number of queries related with regulatory processes in Yeast. All the information in YEASTRACT will be updated regularly to match the latest data from SGD, GO consortium and recent literature on yeast regulatory networks. Future releases of the database will include additional computational tools to support researchers in the process of identification of transcription regulatory associations.
Human reinforcement learning processes act on learned attentionally-filtered representations of the world

Reinforcement learning (RL) models are often applied to study human learning and decision-making. However, simple RL algorithms do not fare well in explaining learning behavior in real world situations where the environment is high-dimensional and the relevant states are not known. As a solution, we propose that RL processes act on an attentionally-filtered representation of the environment. This improves the computational efficiency of RL by constraining the state-space that the learning agent has to consider. We further propose that the attention filter is learned and is dynamically modulated according to the outcomes of ongoing decisions. To test our hypotheses, we had participants perform a decision-making task with multi-dimensional stimuli and probabilistic awards. Model-based analysis of participants’ choices suggests that participants prefer strategies that favor computational efficiency at the expense of statistical optimality. To better study the dynamics of attention, we had a group of participants perform a variant of the task in which they had to select the dimensions they wanted to view before making their choice. We treated the viewed dimensions as a proxy for participants’ attention filter. Our models fit the data better when learning was restricted to attended dimensions, suggesting that participants do indeed constrain choice and learning to a subset of dimensions. Finally, attention dynamics themselves were best explained by a model that preferentially attended to dimensions with features that have acquired high value over the course of learning. This result provides evidence that the attention filter is dynamically modulated as participants receive feedback from ongoing decisions.
Satisfaction with Care from the Hematologist for Children with Sickle Cell Disease Section 1 . Basic Measure Information 1

This measure assesses the degree to which parents are satisfied with the care they receive for their child with sickle cell disease (SCD). Specifically, this measure reports the percentage of parents and guardians of children younger than 18 years of age identified as having SCD, who responded on a scale of 1 to 5, “Satisfied (4)” or “Very Satisfied (5)” to a survey question regarding satisfaction with care from their child’s hematologist. A higher proportion indicates better performance, as reflected by high parent/guardian satisfaction.
THE NONLINEAR DYNAMICS OF ELECTROSTATICALLY-ACTUATED , SINGLE-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBE RESONATORS

This work examines the nonlinear dynamics of suspended, electrostatically-actuated, singlewalled carbon nanotube resonators. Specifically, the effort considers the near-resonant response of these systems under combined parametric and direct excitation, and characterizes the relative importance of these distinct excitation mechanisms, as well as an applied DC bias voltage, in a prototypical device design. Given the highly-nonlinear nature of the systems of interest, approximative multiphysics modeling and numerical continuation methods (AUTO) are used to predict the salient features of the nanoresonators’ nonlinear response. The results of this analysis are highlighted within.

A quantitative study of the blade passing frequency noise of a centrifugal fan

Tonal noise constitutes the major part of the overall fan noise, particularly the blade passing frequency (BPF) noise, which is generally the most annoying component. This paper quantitatively studies the BPF tonal noise of a centrifugal fan, including casing aerodynamic noise, blade aerodynamic noise and casing structural noise. Firstly, fan noise generation and propagation is discussed and the measured spectra of fan noise and casing vibration are presented. Secondly, a fully 3-D transient simulation of the internal flow field of the fan is performed. Flow interactions between the impeller and the volute casing result in the periodic pressure fluctuations on solid walls of the impeller and casing. This pressure fluctuation, in the aeroacoustic study, is modeled as aeroacoustic dipole source according to the Lighthill’s acoustic analogy theory. With the inhomogeneous wave equations solved by the boundary element method, the BPF casing and blade aerodynamic noise radiation is obtained. Finally, in the casing structural noise study, the casing structural vibration under the excitation of BPF pressure fluctuation is calculated by the finite element method and sound radiation is solved by the boundary element method subsequently. Results demonstrate that the casing aerodynamic noise is the main contribution to the centrifugal fan noise with the sound power level of 103 dB followed by the blade noise (91 dB), and the casing structural noise is 79 dB.
Genetic Markers for the Diagnosis and Management of Treatment-Resistant Depression

The incidence of depression is increasing worldwide, yet its diagnosis and management remain difficult, particularly in the case of Treatment-Refractory Depression (TRD). Herein, we review recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of TRD, with a focus on genetic biomarkers for diagnosis and N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptor blockers for treatment. TRD may be difficult to diagnose because of comorbidity with other psychological disorders. Criteria proposed in the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) are currently used to diagnose depression, but the use of genetic biomarkers would make the diagnosis more objective. Improvements in technology have made genetic analysis faster and less expensive; however, to date, there is no established medically objective test for the diagnosis of depression. Various genomic analyses, such as Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS), studies of single-nucleotide polymorphisms, pharmaco genetic studies, epigenetic studies, and studies of micro Ribo Nucleic Acid (miRNA), have been performed. Although genetic differences related to depression have emerged from these types of studies, the importance and utility of the biomarkers identified remain unclear. Depression is generally treated with various antidepressants, with physicians switching their patients from one drug to another as needed. Antidepressants may be used concomitantly with atypical antipsychotics as well as lithium, thyroid hormone, dopamine agonists, and/or electroconvulsive therapy. New antidepressants affecting the glutamatergic system, such as ketamine (which blocks NMDA receptors), are currently under investigation. Genetic factors also play a role in the response to medication. Therefore, genetic testing holds promise for personalizing the patient’s response to therapy. Therefore, objective genetic tests and new types of drugs may improve the outcomes of patients with TRD.
Generative Principles for Professional Learning for Equity-Oriented Urban English Teachers

This article investigates the experiences of three early-career secondary English urban teachers who sought to strengthen their perspectives and practices of social justice teaching through professional development. Data include teacher interviews across their first three years of teaching, artifacts across three participants representing their professional development experiences and teaching and learning in their classrooms, and interviews of three informants who participated in professional development with two of the teacher participants. We then conducted a thematic analysis. We found six generative features of professional development/professional learning that promoted these urban teachers’ development as equity-oriented English teachers. This paper contributes to the knowledge base on professional development/professional learning in urban contexts in that it is the first to foreground urban teachers’ needs for professional development that promotes their equity-oriented educational stances and practices and that illuminates how productive principles for professional learning can facilitate meeting those needs.
Resolving Conflicts in Friendship : The Development of Moral Understanding in Everyday Life

This chapter deals with the morality of intimate interpersonal relationships. It analyzes the emerging interpersonalmoral understanding of conflict in a friendship. Friendship is seen as a paradigmatic relationship in which we can study the developmental roots of interpersonal morality. Moral development is seen as the development of a “moral orientation. ” This “moral orientation” encompasses various aspects including an awareness of the moral aspects of situations, the consequences of the violation of obligations (moral feelings), and the necessity for moral discourse as well as the necessity for justification and restitution in the case of violation of obligations. These aspects of a moral orientation are analyzed developmentally in children’s practical and moral reasoning about a friendship conflict. (1)

An investigation of the ethical reasoning skills of introductory accounting students

Ethical reasoning skills in accountants are essential to the honesty and integrity of the accounting profession. However, future accountants struggle to apply the ethical knowledge gained in higher education to the practical world. With the rise of financial scandals, more research needs to be conducted regarding the reasoning skills in future accountants and whether exposure to ethics in introductory accounting classes contributes to higher ethical reasoning skills compared to students without exposure to real-world ethical quandaries. The purpose of the research study was to examine the relationship between ethical reasoning skills of accounting students and ethics exposure in introductory accounting courses. The study was a between-subjects paired-sample analysis utilizing a quasi-experimental quantitative research design. The researcher used the Accounting Ethical Dilemmas Instrument (AEDI) to measure ethical reasoning skills of introductory accounting students and exposed a treatment group to two ethical dilemma examples via class discussions to measure if manipulation increased ethical reasoning skills compared to a control group. Utilizing the Mann-Whitney U test, the researcher concluded that the AEDI scores in the treatment group were not statistically significant compared to the control group (U = 278, p = .909). Additionally, the researcher concluded that the AEDI scores of female participants were not statistically higher (U = 285, p = .950). In conclusion, the researcher determined that realworld ethics exposure in an introductory accounting course did not improve students’ reasoning skills, and that female participants did not exhibit higher ethical reasoning skills.
