Throwing Away the Key: An Examination of the Renaissance of Preventive Detention in New Zealand
Authors:   , Anderson Jordan
Published: November 2021

The indeterminate sentence of preventive detention has experienced a renaissance in New Zealand since the 1980s. What was once a seldom used, emergency provision intended for application to the most dangerous offenders in our society, is now used with alarming frequency: while fifteen offenders served sentences of preventive detention in 1981, the number had risen to 263 by 2014. This thesis seeks to explore the forces driving the renaissance of preventive detention in New Zealand.   Throughout advanced liberal democracies, there has been a shift toward risk driven penal policy. Significant social, political, and economic changes in these societies from the 1980s onwards - such as the neoliberal reforms, and the associated uncaging of risk; social liberation and restructuring; and the cultivation of lifestyles; have contributed to, and exacerbated ontological insecurity and anxiety. The delegation of risk by the state to the individual has produced the variety of benefits and opportunities it was intended for, however it has also left people feeling insecure about their safety and wellbeing within the modern society, knowing that the shrunken state is unwilling, or unable to intervene and protect them. The expansion of preventive detention is an example of the state stepping in and performing a ‘spectacular rescue’ (Pratt and Anderson, 2016: 12). The revival and expansion of preventive detention has been part of the response of the New Zealand government to the intolerable risk of irreparable and irredeemable harm, posed by violent and sexual offenders in particular.  The significant increase in the use of preventive detention is representative of a wider trend of risk driven penal policy throughout the main English speaking societies. While the parallel strand of punitive penal policy has been explored in great depth, the trend toward risk driven penal policy has elicited less focus. Within the literature, there is a lack of identification of risk driven penal policy as a separate strand of development, subject to a separate line of inquiry. This thesis seeks to add to the literature on the influence of risk, exploring it as the driving force behind the revival of preventive detention.
Wander of life: An agora to facilitate elderly's autonomous and connected life in Johnsonville
Authors:   , Kong Yuqi
Published: November 2021

New Zealand is experiencing a demographic transitional period when there is increasing percentage of the elder population out of the total. Researches and scholars overseas have investigated in architecture’s role of improving environments for the elderly, primarily from the perspective of disability. However, these considerations which solely come from the physicality point of view and can be easily treated just as after thoughts, sometimes still leaving the elderly in dilemmas.  As an attempt to response to such an issue, this thesis asks if accessible architecture can enable the elderly to be included in public space as community members rather than an isolated group. It aims to explore possibilities of creating accessible public space for elderly, which is also thoughtful towards other community members’ interactions. These explorations are set on the intersection of environmental gerontology* and phenomenology, focus on making space accessibly to the elderly physically, sensorially and psychologically.  To re-introduce the elderly as community members who are as significant as others, the diversity and complexity of their conditions and needs should be considered, which requires the design explorations to be site-specific to avoid over-generalization. To contextualise the question, Johnsonville is chosen as the site for study, thus, the character of local elderly can be considered for appropriate design iterations. To extend current design discourse about the role of architecture in the context of environmental gerontology, the theory of phenomenology and relevant case studies will be investigated. To highlight implications and limitations for elderly-accessible public space design, reflection will be made regarding the design explorations against the broader discursive arguments.  One of the primary implications of this design-led thesis is for the discourse on elderly-friendly environments. The other implication is an advocacy for designing public space for a wider public interaction. It means taking everyone in the community into equal consideration and creating public space that is equal for every user.
A "Core Skills" Approach to the Assessment of Acquired Language Disorders: Exploration and Cross-Validation
Authors:   , Lee Victoria
Published: November 2021

The majority of diagnostic assessments of aphasia—an acquired language disorder that commonly occurs after stroke or brain injury—are based upon the classical model of language. A major limitation of these diagnostic assessments is that they are based upon a very simple neuroanatomical model of language function. In the decades since the classical model, cognitive theories of language function have developed considerably, which provides a much richer framework for the assessment of acquired language disorders. On the basis of this framework, Faulkner, Wilshire, Parker, and Cunningham (2015) developed the Brief Language Assessment for Surgical Tumours (BLAST) for the assessment of language function in brain tumour patients, based upon the notion that language can be decomposed into core cognitive skills. In the current thesis, we evaluate the efficacy of the BLAST in individuals with chronic post-stroke aphasia, cross-validate the core cognitive skills identified by the BLAST with independent measures argued to index the same theoretical construct, and evaluate whether an individual’s linguistic profile on the BLAST is predictive of performance on a more naturalistic sentence production task. The results from the current research can be divided into three primary findings. First, we found that the BLAST could be administered to individuals with post-stroke aphasia, and that the linguistic profiles provided by the BLAST extend far beyond the predictions derived from neural localization and classical diagnostic assessments. Second, we found support for the validity of five of the core cognitive skills. Third, we found some support for the notion that performance on the BLAST may be predictive of performance on a more naturalistic sentence production task. In short, the current findings suggest that the BLAST holds potential as a clinical tool for the assessment of language function in a range of different neurological populations.
Dethroning Dante: Skopostheorie in Action
Authors:   , Smith Timothy
Published: November 2021

Dante’s Commedia has been translated into English more than one hundred times. As a result, there are plenty of opposing opinions on how best to translate Dante’s masterwork. One can mimic Dante’s rhyme scheme (terza rima), utilize a more conventional English metre or rhyme scheme, or resort to a prose translation that abandons any attempt to reproduce Dante’s poetics. It is the purpose of this study to demonstrate that all of these are, in the right context, appropriate translation strategies; no platonic ideal translation strategy exists. To provide a more tolerant approach to translations of Dante’s poetry, I employ a translation theory called Skopostheorie (skopos theory). This theory argues that each translation has its own unique purpose (skopos); there are any number of (valid) strategies available to the translator. This theory is often seen as extreme, providing the translator with too much freedom to manipulate the text. Accordingly, this thesis first makes a case for the application of Skopostheorie in literary translation, attempting to defend it against its critics. Second, this essay exhibits how the theory may be applied in practice. To demonstrate its application, I look at three very different English translations of the first canto of Dante’s Inferno published during the 1990s. These translations are by Seamus Heaney (1993), Steve Ellis (1994), and Robert M. Durling (1996). In doing so, I hope to identify the various approaches of these translators, to demonstrate the breadth of options available to translators of Dante’s capolavoro, and to add to the discourse on the reception of Dante in the English-speaking world.
Examining the Effects of Message Framing and Social Norms on Judgments of Earthquake Legislation
Authors:   , Vinnell Lauren
Published: November 2021

To increase earthquake preparation, it is beneficial to understand the effects of different types of information used in risk communications. This thesis adapts methods that have been used with other hazards or in hypothetical situations and applies them to increasing support for current earthquake-strengthening legislation in Wellington, New Zealand (NZ). Study 1 examined valence and numerical format framing. Expressing the number of buildings affected by the legislation as a negatively-valenced frequency was found to be most effective at increasing earthquake-related judgments¹. Study 2 examined descriptive and injunctive norms and found that a range of subject factors such as age and previous knowledge of the legislation influenced the effects of norms. Study 3 used the same manipulation and included a sample from Palmerston North, where earthquake risk perceptions are lower. This study showed several clear norm effects, with the combination of both descriptive and injunctive norms the most effective at increasing support for the earthquake legislation. All three studies showed that belief in the effectiveness of strengthening earthquake-prone buildings predicted support for the legislation and lower earthquake-risk tolerance, suggesting that this could be a key perception to target in communications. Overall, these studies suggest that certain messages are more effective at increasing support for the governmental legislation, but also that framing and social norm effects on real-world issues interact with other variables such as age and knowledge which ought to be examined further to increase the usefulness of psychological research to risk communication.  ¹ The results of this study have been accepted for publication as a peer-reviewed journal article: Vinnell, L. J., McClure, J., & Milfont, T. L. (in press). Do framing messages increase support for earthquake legislation? Disaster Prevention and Management, 26(1).
The feasibility of 'Building Performance Sketching' within the building design process
Authors:   , Braasch Elzine
Published: November 2021

This study investigated the question of whether or not the distributed model method (DMM) could be perceived by the New Zealand building industry’s architects and engineers as overcoming barriers which prevent them from implementing building performance sketching within their design processes.  Current literature on the barriers to building performance simulation (BPS) have suggested a number of recommendations for tool developers to address, with little documented success to their impact on overcoming these perceived barriers. The recommendations suggested mainly improving tool interoperability for effective design team collaboration, and means to demonstrate model quality assurance. The DMM presented itself within literature as a new means to overcome the difficulties of interoperability faced by the central modelling method, commonly used in building information modelling (BIM), to meet requirements for design team collaboration. With the ability to provide high interoperability and parametric capabilities with detailed simulation programs, the DMM was hypothesised to address all recommendations from literature to overcome the barriers to implementing BPS within the design process. Furthermore, the study proposed the use of building performance sketching as an approach to assess the architectural sketch as a means to ensure quality assurance.  The study concluded that DMM cannot currently address all wants and wishes of users established in literature, but has potential. Future research efforts are required to focus upon: creating industry specific templates for building types; developing these templates to be adaptable for the different modelling operators of the proposed workflow demonstrated to the participants within this study; and developing quality assurance standards for modelling and guidelines for model validation. Finally, the study concluded with future work required beyond tool development: improving education of architects; and introducing legislation.
The influence of school matrons on girls’ educational experience and social participation in Tanzania
Authors:   , Otieno Milka Venance Musa
Published: November 2021

A commitment to gender equity is reflected in Tanzania’s educational development policies many of which are geared towards preparing all citizens to participate fully in the civic and economic life of the nation. Despite these government aspirations, the social, economic and educational status of women remains low. In this study, I seek answers for these ongoing inequalities by investigating girls’ experiences of education, focusing specifically on the influence of school matrons on educational outcomes and social participation for girls.  This qualitative case study was informed by a combination of theoretical frameworks associated with African transformative feminism and social justice philosophies. Interview and focus group data were collected from multiple sites in rural and urban areas in the Manyara and Dodoma regions of Tanzania. In the course of the study, the perspectives of key players in the education contexts of these areas were sought. These included secondary school girls and their school matrons as well as School Principals and members of women’s local community groups and national organisations. In addition, data were drawn from key educational policy documents and reports relating to the education of girls.  The findings identify school matrons as having a major influence in the education of Tanzanian girls. In particular, these women are responsible for creating safe educational environments for girls and many do this by assuming a nurturing role, known in Kiswahili as ‘Malezi.’ However, the significant structural challenges facing girls and young women combined with a severe and widespread shortage of educational resources and facilities places constraints on the ability of matrons to provide the sort of ongoing care that girls need. The matrons’ role is further complicated by socio-cultural and traditional expectations placed on girls and women in Tanzanian society.  In light of these findings, I critique neoliberal approaches to Tanzanian education, arguing that understanding the impact of the psychosocial support systems on the engagement of learners within the nation’s educational institutions cannot be under-estimated, I conclude that it is time to develop a new way of thinking about gender equity and educational quality that departs from current human rights and human capital approaches.
The Six Sonatas for Unaccompanied Violin by Eugène Ysaÿe: A study in dedication and interpretation
Authors:   , Yang Manshan
Published: November 2021

Eugène Ysaÿe (1858-1931) was one of the most prominent violin virtuosos from the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth century. As a composer, his Six Sonatas for Unaccompanied Violin, Op. 27, composed in 1924, are amongst his most creative and significant contributions to the solo violin repertoire. Each sonata was dedicated to a different virtuoso violinist and is composed to represent the different performing style of each violinist.  Among the research related to Ysaÿe’s solo sonatas, there is no detailed performance analysis of the works. Although instructions in Ysaÿe’s solo sonatas are marked carefully in terms of tempo, bowings, bow strokes, fingerings, string choices, dynamics, and characters, the existing recordings show a variety of approaches regarding these elements. Therefore, this exegesis investigates the sonatas through the comparative analysis of six selected recordings of the composer’s students or their own students, and performers with no direct pedagogical lineage to the composer. The study explores whether performances recorded by the violinists who have a pedagogical connection to the composer provide useful sources that are not found in the music, and also examines how and why different musical decisions were made and offers my point of view as a performer as well.
The geochemistry of antimony in hydrothermal solutions
Authors:   , Olsen Nellie J.
Published: November 2021

In this thesis, 30°C stibnite solubility experiments, ambient temperature X-ray absorption spectroscopic measurements of antimony in solution, and high temperature (70 to 400°C) stibnite solubility experiments were carried out in order to determine the aqueous antimony species present in equilibrium with stibnite in hydrosulfide solutions from pH = 3.5 to 12 and reduced sulfur concentrations from 0.001 to 0.1 mol kg⁻¹. Both ambient and elevated temperature solubility studies were conducted using a flow-through apparatus containing a column of stibnite grains though which solutions were pumped. Above 100°C, solubility experiments were conducted at slightly above saturated water vapour pressure to pressures of 300 bar.  At 30°C, the stibnite solubility curve was best reproduced by a scheme of five species: Sb₂S₄²⁻, HSb₂S₄⁻, H₂Sb₂S₅²⁻, H₃SbS₂O, and Sb(OH)₃. At higher temperatures (≥ 70 °C), stibnite solubility at the conditions of the experiments was due to the following four species: Sb₂S₄²⁻, HSb₂S₄⁻, H₃SbS₂O, and Sb(OH)₃. Equilibrium constants were determined for the following five heterogeneous solubility reactions for the temperature ranges listed:  [Please consult the thesis for details.]  Stibnite solubility was independent of pressure at ≤ 350°C. At ~ 400°C, the solubility of stibnite was strongly dependent on pressure and decreased from Sbtotal = 0.015 to 0.0003 mol kg⁻¹ (~2000 to 40 ppm) with a pressure decrease from 300 to 160 bars.  The Sb K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopic (XAS) measurements of antimony in alkaline (pH = 10. 9 to 12) hydrosulfide solutions gave average first shell coordination environments that were consistent with the speciation model derived from solubility experiments for strongly alkaline solutions (i.e., Sb₂S₄²⁻ and Sb(OH)₃). XAS data enable the elimination of a speciation model involving only monomeric antimony complexes at strongly alkaline pH.  Antimony speciation in near neutral to strongly alkaline pH’s is dominated by dimeric antimony-sulfide complexes at 30°C and sulfide concentrations > 0.001 mol kg⁻¹. With increasing temperature, antimony speciation becomes increasingly dominated by Sb(OH)₃. For hydrothermal solutions with sulfide concentrations between 0.0001 and 0.01 mol kg⁻¹, antimony-sulfide complexes are predominant at < 100°C, whereas antimonous acid, Sb(OH)₃, is the main aqueous species at contributing to stibnite solubility at > 200°C with the speciation in the intervening temperature range being dependent on the pH and sulfide concentration of the solution. For higher sulfide concentrations (i.e., ~ 0.1 mol kg⁻¹), HSb₂S₄⁻ and Sb₂S₄²⁻ control stibnite solubility to higher temperatures.
The Memories of Our Future: The Memories of Maūi
Authors:   , Lenihan Shannon
Published: November 2021

This thesis proposes a way to re-inhabit and transform the adverse identity of an old offshore oil and gas platform. Located 35 kilometers off the West Coast of Taranaki, New Zealand, the Māui A Platform (also known as MPA) is transformed in this thesis design investigation into an Environmental Centre, a living retreat for ‘children’ (in fact, for adults who will be encouraged in the design to see life through the eyes of children). The intention is to generate knowledge and awareness about the environment.  The Māui A and Māui B offshore oil and gas platforms are nearing the end of their economic lifespan. Globally, the current most common decommissioning method of oil platforms involves the use of explosives at the base of the jacket. The structure is then towed to shore and dismantled. The explosives leave scars not only on the landscape the platforms once inhabited; they critically damage the surrounding marine ecology, vast numbers of marine species. This is of severe concern for the marine life and ecosystems surrounding the Māui A & Māui B Platforms as they are located in an extremely sensitive marine area where over 30 percent of the world’s cetacean species inhabit or through which they frequently migrate. Only two of these marine mammal species are not listed as ‘species of concern’ in the New Zealand Threat Classification list.  The future of these platforms does not need to cause more adversity to the environment, but rather can regenerate it. By re-purposing rather than exploding and dismantling these structures, this thesis aims to propose a way to re-inhabit the Māui A Platform and transform it into an educational retreat that enables further awareness, reconciliation, restoration, and protection of marine systems, environment, and threatened marine species. This thesis explores opportunities to create a closed circuit system as a means of providing food, fresh water, water treatment and energy for the platform.  To achieve this regenerative solution in ways that will resonate with those who visit the Māui A Platform, this project enters the realm of the imagination. The imagination is fundamental to learning - hence the proposition that this design be framed as both mythological and experiential. Narrative design – story telling – is explored as a tool to connect sustainable awareness and consciousness as a means to help educate the beneficiaries of this world – our ‘children’. To encourage the adult visitors to fully recognise that the beneficiaries are indeed our children, the thesis investigation will design the new Environmental Centre through the eyes of the child. As a tool to enhance the historic narrative of the site and context, the design strategically frames traces of important or unnoticed elements or equipment of the Māui A Platform.  In order to be understood and engaged with by ‘children’, this project enters the realm of the imagination enabling the design to be both mythological and experiential.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: Behçet disease (BD) is a rare systemic vasculitis of unknown aetiology, which can involve different size arteries and veins. The syndrome is characterized by oral aphthous ulcers, genital ulcers, skin and ocular lesions, arthritis, gastrointestinal ulcers, and neurological signs. Aim: The aim of this paper is to discuss comorbidity of BD with other autoimmune diseases referring to a clinical case report. Case study: The study presents a case of BD concurrent with vitiligo, psoriasis and scleritis in a 22-year-old patient. Results and discussion: The aetiology and pathogenesis of BDare unknown. The presented case of BD was accompanied by psoriasis, nodular scleritis, and vitiligo, which is uncommon. In Poland, since the disease is rare and only single cases have been identified, the precise epidemiology is unknown. Currently, more cases are being diagnosed. Conclusions: Due to nonspecific symptoms and rarity in some countries, BD diagnosis can be delayed, which may have a negative effect on a patient’s life quality. Further studies exploring the correlation between BD, psoriasis, vitiligo, and nodular scleritis are needed to better understand the pathogenesis and relationship between the diseases.

Published: November 2021

Este trabajo busca presentar, a partir de un testimonio directo, una visión legible y actualizada del concepto de Europa Central, como subregión diferenciada en el contexto de la Unión Europea. Entender la construcción de una nueva Europa Central luego del fin de la era comunista -caracterizada hoy por democracias liberales y economías de mercado consolidadas y con gran potencial- es uno de los retos más significativos de la política exterior de México. El concepto instrumental que orienta este trabajo es la construcción y funcionamiento del Grupo Visegrado, formado en 1991 e integrado por Polonia, República Checa, Eslovaquia y Hungría como la expresión política y de cooperación más consistente y clara de Europa Central en la actualidad. La reflexión que presenta este trabajo tiene como punto de partida un diálogo directo de los autores con uno de los artífices del Grupo Visegrado y actor central del fin del comunismo en Europa: el célebre líder obrero y expresidente polaco Lech Walesa. A treinta años de distancia de la creación del Grupo Visegrado, resulta fundamental conocer su perspectiva.

Effectiveness administration of cow rumen liquid at various levels of carbohydrates in feed on nutrient digestiveness and feed efficiency of milk fish (Chanos chanos Forsskal)
Authors: Masriah Andi , Laitte Muhammad Haritza
Published: November 2021

Efforts to reduce protein in fish feed by maximizing the use of carbohydrates as an energy source must be supported by exogenous enzymes. One source of exogenous enzymes that can be used as a polysaccharide degrading agent easily obtained and wasted is rumen liquid in slaughterhouses (RPH). This study aims to determine the most effective carbohydrate level after being given rumen liquid as a source of exogenous enzymes in maximizing nutrient digestibility and feed efficiency in milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal). This study was designed using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) which consisted of 4 treatments and three replications. Thus there were 12 experimental units. The treatments tested were feeds with various levels of carbohydrates (27.81%; 39.50%; 46.97%; and 56.75%) then given cow rumen liquid as a source of the enzyme at a dose of 80 mL/100 g of feed. Nutrient digestibility and feed efficiency data obtained were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and continued with the W-Tuckey test. The results showed that feeding with various levels of carbohydrates in the feed that was first given cow rumen liquid waste had a significant effect (P<0.05) on fibre digestibility, carbohydrate digestibility, and feed efficiency of milkfish, but had no significant impact (P>0.05) on total digestibility, protein digestibility, and fat digestibility of milkfish. The most effective carbohydrate level in feed after being given cow rumen liquid which can optimize nutrient digestibility and feed efficiency of milkfish, is 46.97%.

Banggai yam (Dioscorea sp) has many varieties, which is locally cultivated and consumed by people in Banggai, Central Sulawesi. Banggai yam can be processed into flour and applied as an ingre-dient in analogue rice. This study aimed to evaluate the physical and chemical composition, total phenol and antioxidant activity of banggai yam flours, and the physical properties, total phenol and antioxidant activity of their analogue rice. Five varieties of banggai yams (Harum, Banggai, Pasus, Doso, and Penus) were compared. Banggai yam flours were composed of moisture (12.21-12.74%wb), ash (2.18-2.75%db), protein (10.41-11.68%db), fat (1.05-3.38%db), and carbohydrate (83.22-85.77%db). All banggai flours had different color (L, a, and b values) intensities, and contained starch (65.38-68.40% db) with amylose content of 38.96-45.09% (db). The total phenol ranged from 30.48-116.90 mg GAE/ 100 g, and showed antioxidant activity (58.71-89.50% inhibition). The pasting profile varied among five yam flours. The initial pasting temperatures of banggai yam flour were relatively high (82.5-83.7°C). All banggai yam flour increased in viscosity up to a peak and experienced slight viscosity breakdown during the heating phase, as well as showed a setback viscosity during cooling phase. Rice analogue of yam flours made by extrusion technology had a relatively low bulk density (0.47-0.56 g/mL), and required a long cooking time (7-9 minutes). The rice analog had different levels of total phenol and antioxidant activities. The level of total phenol and antioxidant activity of analogue rice from Harum yam showed the highest compared to those other analogue rice.

Dottrina delle processioni e reciprocità. In dialogo con S. Bulgakov, W. Pannenberg e G. Greshake
Authors: Franchi Federico
Published: November 2021

W trudnej kwestii pogodzenia jedności i wielości w Bogu doktryna o pochodzeniu odgrywa zasadniczą rolę: przez zrodzenie Syna i pochodzenie Ducha jest możliwe myślenie o trzech osobach bez utraty z pola widzenia jedności istoty. W Sumie teologii, w której systematyczny wykład o pochodzeniach osiąga swoje ostateczne ujęcie, zrodzenie i pochodzenie Ducha przyjmują rolę przyczynową. Tomasz bowiem proponuje rozumienie wynikowe (na sposób efektu domina), w którym z dwóch pochodzeń wyprowadza się cztery relacje, a trzy z nich są subsystentne: Ojciec, Syn, Duch. To, czego brakuje w tym modelu, to wzajemność. Gdyby relacje między Osobami Boskimi były całkowicie wzajemne, nie moglibyśmy pozostać tylko przy czterech relacjach. Bulgakov, Pannenber i Greshake krytykują zrozumienie przyczynowe pochodzeń. W świetle ich pism będzie można nakreślić drogę reinterpretacji doktryny o zrodzeniu Syna i pochodzeniu Ducha, by lepiej pojąć tę wzajemność obecną w danych biblijnych. Obracając się wokół trzech centrów refleksji – monarchii, przyczynowości i wzajemności – podejmiemy myśl teologa ortodoksyjnego, protestanta i katolika, by zaproponować własne propozycje na temat pochodzeń Osób Boskich i wzajemności ich relacji.
Osoba i relacja. Personalistyczny sens miłości i seksualności według Jana Pawła II
Authors: Skrzypczak Robert
Published: November 2021

Nowa fala rewolucji seksualnej w swej postaci transgenderowej ogarnęła cały zachodni świat, wywołując w niektórych środowiskach w Polsce gwałtowne żądania pełnego dostępu do edukacji seksualnej, aborcji i antykoncepcji. Zarówno wrogi stosunek do Kościoła, jak i próby dyskredytowania autorytetu świętego Jana Pawła II, towarzyszące tym żądaniom, odzwierciedlają odwieczne napięcie pomiędzy Kościołem a światem, między chrześcijańską a laicką wizją człowieka. Karol Wojtyła od lat pięćdziesiątych ubiegłego wieku był świadomy, że batalia o sekularyzację tego świata i o prawo do zawłaszczenia dusz ludzkich zostanie przeprowadzona na terenie ludzkiej uczuciowości i seksualności. Małżeństwo i rodzina są tym miejscem, od obrony którego zależy jakość relacji nowoczesnego człowieka z Bogiem. Jan Paweł II wiedział, że delikatne kwestie ludzkiej tożsamości, seksualności i wzajemnych odniesień wymagają oparcia w gruntownym pojęciu osoby. Wzajemnie się uzupełniająca refleksja filozoficzna i teologiczna złożyła się na jego syntetyczną wizję Boga, człowieka, Kościoła i świata. Zastosowanie przez Jana Pawła II personalistycznego klucza do odczytania zjawiska ludzkiej miłości i seksualności, małżeństwa i rodziny okazało się wyjątkowo trafnym wyborem. Ukoronowaniem całej jego personalistycznej refleksji okazała się teologia ciała, w pełni oryginalna rehabilitacja biblijnego, chrześcijańskiego spojrzenia na ludzką miłość. Jan Paweł II uważał, że „miłość, cywilizacja miłości związane są z personalizmem, bo chodzi o osobę zdolną stawać się darem dla drugich, a co więcej, znajdującą w tym radość”.
Integrálna antropológia ako cieľ jezuitskej pedagogiky a formácie
Authors: Jeník Lukáš
Published: November 2021

One of the characteristic features of the charisma of the Society of Jesus is the intellectual apostolate. Jesuit pedagogy is characterized by specific features based on previous pedagogical approaches (medieval universities, studia humanitatis), but also in a broader philosophical and theological context. The key starting point of the Ignatian and Jesuit pedagogy are the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola. The education stemming from this background does not represent a value in itself, but rather a very effective instrument that helps to shape an integral personality, strengthens social ties and interpersonal relationships and leads to selfless service. The result of such education is not only the mere well roundedness, but above all the ability to take on commitment and move out of one’s comfort zone towards public service.

Prospects for the development of underground ore mining geotechnologies at the Talnakh and Oktyabrskoye deep mines

Rich sulphide, cuprous and impregnated ores are currently mined in the underground mines of the Talnakh and Oktyabrskoye deposits at the depths from 250 to 1,700 m. The reserves of rich ores are depleted, and therefore the growth of cuprous and impregnated ores is gaining importance. Their share may reach 80% of the total production by 2030. A distinctive feature of such deposits is the occurrence of cuprous and impregnated ores above the rich sulphide ore, which reserves have been mined out using mining systems with curing backfill mixtures. In this context, mining of impregnated ores will be done in the undermined zones, which will lead to significant rock mass deformation, opening of existing natural and formation of new cracks, will affect the stability of mining structures and will require special measures to control rock pressure in the mines. The paper presents the results of assessing the stress-and-strain condition of the undermined mass of impregnated ores mined using the room-and-pillar cut-and-fill method at the depths of 500, 1000 and 2000 m. The assessment shows that no dangerous stress concentrations arise in the mining structures at great depths which creates preconditions for the safe development of such deposits. A significant increase in ore extraction will require upgrading of existing underground facilities. It is proposed to carry out pre-concentration of the mined ore in the underground conditions using modern crushing complexes, high-capacity mine separators to remove waste rock, which can subsequently be used as the backfill material. In this way, a closed-loop mining system is created that meets the efficiency requirements of mining production and integrated subsoil development.

Introduction: Inadequate anesthetic, including under or over dosage, may lead to intraoperative awareness or prolonged recovery. Fuzzy expert systems can assist anesthesiologist to manage drug dosage in a right manner. Designing a fuzzy rule-based expert system to determine the Propofol anesthetic drug dosage was the main objective of this study.Material and Methods: This is a retrospective study. Fuzzy IF-THEN rules were defined based on evidences and experts’ linguistic rules for Propofol dose determination. Fuzzy toolbox in MATLAB software was used to design the system. Validation of system conducted with calculation of mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean squared error (RMSE). Also, difference mean between actual and predicted doses was tested with paired t-test in SPSS V.26 software. Data from 50 ENT (ears, nose, and throat) surgeries were used to validate the fuzzy system.Results: MAE for induction and maintenance doses was 0.128 and 1.95 respectively. RMSE for induction and maintenance doses was 0.228 and 3.383 respectively. Based on paired t-test result, there was no significant correlation between actual and predicted values (P>0.05).Conclusion: Obtained value from test and validation of system demonstrated a high performance and satisfying accuracy of the system. Therefore, this expert system can be used as a decision support system to determine initial dosage of anesthetic drugs. It can also be used for anesthesia students to learn drug administration.

Introduction: One of the well-known problems related to the information quality is the information incompleteness in health information systems. The purpose of this study was to investigate the completeness rate of patients’ information recorded in the hospital information system, sending information from which to Iranian electronic health record system (SEPAS) seemed to be unsuccessful.Methods: This study was conducted in six hospitals associated with Kerman University of Medical Sciences (KUMS) in Iran. In this study, 882 records which had failed to be sent from three hospital information systems to SEPAS were reviewed and the data were collected using a checklist. Data were analyzed using the descriptive and inferential statistics with SPSS.18.Results: A total of 18758 demographic and clinical information elements were examined. The rate of completeness was 55%. The highest completeness rate of demographic information was related to name, surname, gender, nationality, date of birth, father's name, marital status, place of residence, telephone number (79-100%), and in clinical information it was related to the final diagnosis (74%). The completeness rate of some information elements was significantly different among the hospitals (p <0.05). The completeness rate of information communicated to the Iranian national electronic health record was at a moderate level.Conclusion: This study showed that completeness rate is different among hospitals using the same hospital information system. The results of this study can help the health policymakers and developers of the national electronic health record in developing countries to improve completeness rate and also information quality in health information systems.

Introduction: Our aim in this study was to summarize information on the use of intelligent models for predicting and diagnosing the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to help early and timely diagnosis of the disease.Material and Methods: A systematic literature search included articles published until 20 April 2020 in PubMed, Web of Science, IEEE, ProQuest, Scopus, bioRxiv, and medRxiv databases. The search strategy consisted of two groups of keywords: A) Novel coronavirus, B) Machine learning. Two reviewers independently assessed original papers to determine eligibility for inclusion in this review. Studies were critically reviewed for risk of bias using prediction model risk of bias assessment tool.Results: We gathered 1650 articles through database searches. After the full-text assessment 31 articles were included. Neural networks and deep neural network variants were the most popular machine learning type. Of the five models that authors claimed were externally validated, we considered external validation only for four of them. Area under the curve (AUC) in internal validation of prognostic models varied from .94 to .97. AUC in diagnostic models varied from 0.84 to 0.99, and AUC in external validation of diagnostic models varied from 0.73 to 0.94. Our analysis finds all but two studies have a high risk of bias due to various reasons like a low number of participants and lack of external validation.Conclusion: Diagnostic and prognostic models for COVID-19 show good to excellent discriminative performance. However, these models are at high risk of bias because of various reasons like a low number of participants and lack of external validation. Future studies should address these concerns. Sharing data and experiences for the development, validation, and updating of COVID-19 related prediction models is needed.
»Das Leben ist aus. Abrechnung halten!«

Über die Vertreibung jüdischer Psychoanalytiker in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus ist in den vergangenen 50 Jahren scheinbar viel publiziert worden. Vereinzelt ist auch an von Deutschen ermordete Psychoanalytiker erinnert worden. Der Umstand, dass sie als Juden verfolgt und aus ihrer ehemaligen Heimat vertrieben wurden, nicht als Psychoanalytiker, wurde jedoch ganz überwiegend verleugnet. Diese Menschen erfuhren während ihrer Vertreibung nahezu keine Unterstützung durch ihre nicht-jüdischen Kollegen. Vielmehr lebte der Mythos des »freiwilligen« Austritts der jüdischen Kollegen aus den psychoanalytischen Standesorganisationen im Prozess der Verleugnung fort. In der kollektiven Erinnerung blieben sie ausgelöscht.
