A Mind Map Teaching Mode for Sports Anatomy based on 3DBody
Authors: Ren Yujia , Jiang Xia
Published: May 2019

With the popularization of various new educational concepts, selecting appropriate teaching auxiliary methods according to the course content improves the effectiveness of teaching. Accordingly, this study explores the application of mind map teaching methods in the course, Sports Anatomy. It also incorporates the 3D structure exhibition function of the 3DBody software in teaching anatomical research to establish the teaching mode reform. Moreover, the traditional multimedia anatomy teaching method was employed, and the effects of both teaching modes were compared. Results show that teaching Sports Anatomy using the 3DBody based on mind mapping evidently improves students’ learning interest and stimulates their initiative for independent study on Sports Anatomy teaching. In addition, this teaching mode can assist students in constructing a knowledge chain from a local to a global standpoint and promote their creative and logical thinking. Compared with the traditional teaching mode, mind map teaching can improve the quality of teaching. Therefore, it is an effective method of reforming the teaching mode in courses, such as Sports Anatomy.

Published: May 2019

After more than 20 years in operation, the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) faces a sizeable responsibility to the more than 9,000 journals that rely on its open source publishing software. In light of this responsibility, in 2017 PKP felt compelled to undertake a large-scale strategic review and community consultation to better understand the maturing of, and challenges faced by, an open source software project seeking to sustain increased global access to research and scholarship. This paper presents the result of the consultation carried out by the consulting firm BlueSky to BluePrint, along with PKP’s response to those findings. In doing so, it identifies the three pillars of PKP’s work: Open Source Software as well as Research, Education, and Advocacy. In what may serve as a lesson for other open source projects, the paper concludes with a path forward for PKP.

Published: May 2019

Finding experts in academics is an important practical problem, e.g., recruiting reviewers for reviewing conference, journal or project submissions, partner matching for research proposals, finding relevant MSc or PhD supervisors, etc. In this work, we discuss an expertise recommender system that is built on data extracted from the Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) instance of the institutional repository system DiVA. The developed prototype system is evaluated and validated on information extracted from the BTH DiVA installation, concerning thesis supervision of researchers affiliated with BTH. The extracted DiVA classification terms are used to build an ontology that conceptualizes the thesis domain supported by the university. The supervisor profiles of the tutors affiliated with the BTH are constructed based on the extracted DiVA data. These profiles can further be used to identify and recommend relevant subject thesis supervisors.
NEW METHOD EXPLOITING A HYBRID TECHNIQUES FOR FETAL CARDIAC SIGNAL EXTRACTION
Authors: Meddour Cherif , Kedir-Talha Malika
Published: May 2019

According to WHO, 2.6 million babies die during pregnancy. Good monitoring during the prenatal period could provide a significant reduction of this mortality rate. This is possible by detection and extraction of the fetal electrocardiogram (FECG). Extraction of that information is complex due to other noise coming from the mother and within the fetus that drowns out the fetal heart signal. However, new technology and improved filtering technique have provided ways to more accurately and efficiently gather various electrical components regarding fetal heart condition. In this paper, we propose a new source separation filtering method exploiting linear and nonlinear filtering techniques. Our method is a non-invasive extraction technique, where the source signal is the cardiac electrical signal acquired by non-invasive electrodes to facilitate the collection of signals and reduce the cost of the acquisition system; it differs from other existing methods in minimizing the number of input signals and the simplicity of its implementation. The fetal heart signal is drowned out by the maternal electrocardiogram (MECG). The problem that arises is the exact knowledge of the MECG signal affecting the chosen measuring electrode, since the MECG is dependent on the position of the electrode and the type of tissue that goes through. Therefore, its knowledge can be made only by a mathematical estimation. A DWT decomposition with adaptive thresholding based on an LMS filter is applied to extract the fetal signal. So first we extract the QRS complex of the FECG and detect the fetal heart rate (FHR).

Menswear Revolution
Authors: Bowstead Jay McCauley
Published: May 2019

In recent years, menswear has moved decisively center stage. Menswear Revolution investigates the transformation of men’s fashion through the lens of shifting masculinities, examining how its increasing diversity has created new ways for men to explore and express their identities. Harnessing sustained market growth and creative dynamism on the runway, ground-breaking designers from Raf Simons and Hedi Slimane to Craig Green have revolutionized the discipline with their bold re-imaginings of the male wardrobe.

Analysing the role of the media in shaping attitudes to men’s fashion, Menswear Revolution studies how competing narratives of masculinity are reflected in popular discourse. Taking us from the mod and peacock revolutions of the 1960s to the new wave aesthetics of the 1980s, the book explores historical precedents for today’s menswear scene – and looks at the evolution of the “ideal” male body, from the muscular to the lean and boyish.

Combining interviews with fashion professionals with close analyses of garments and advertising, Menswear Revolution provides an authoritative account of menswear design today. Highlighting its relationship to changing concepts of gender, the book provides a much-needed update to scholarship on masculinity, fashion, and the body.
EXTRACTION OF VINEYARD MACROSTRUCTURE FROM SUB-OPTIMAL SEQUENCES OF AERIAL IMAGERY
Authors: Finn A. , Melville-Smith A. , Brinkworth R.
Published: May 2019

Abstract. Remote sensing techniques can be used to identify and classify vine properties such as row width, height, cover-fraction, missing segments and leaf area density, providing opportunities to visualise plant vigour as a spatial function of vineyard geography. This information may then be integrated into decision support tools to improve vineyard management practices. An algorithm for identifying vines from a sequence of overlapping aerial images and then estimating their properties is described. The image stacks were obtained from visible and long wave infrared cameras carried by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Structure from motion (SfM) was used to create 3D thermal and colourised point clouds, from which the underlying topography of the surface terrain was extracted. The surface topographic model was obtained using bounded data query nearest neighbour calculations, which were reduced to computationally manageable levels using Kd-trees that recursively partitioned the point clouds by progressively separating them into binary trees. This allowed the point clouds to be classified in terms of their hue, saturation, surface temperature and height relative to surface topography using Lloyd’s unsupervised k-means clustering. Individual samples were then associated using Gaussian probability density functions normalised by cluster statistics. The algorithm was evaluated against ground truth obtained using aerial data in terms of its accuracy and robustness using a combination of real world conditions that included high shadowing, poor contrast and UAV flight paths and camera settings that delivered sub-optimal SfM performance.
RED TAPE IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS: UAV POLICY
Authors: Freeman P. K. , Freeland R. S.
Published: May 2019

Abstract. Reports over the past two decades have documented concern that the growth of regulation on research is reducing scientific productivity. While much of the burden comes from mandated standards, institutions increase the burdens when they add elective rules. This study examines regulatory responses in higher education to the implementation of domestic unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the United States of America (U.S.). The variance in UAV policies provides insight into regulatory responses to a controversial emerging technology. All higher education institutions share a common mission of education, research, and service, although the amount of attention given to each varies. UAVs create similar risks across institutions. Moreover, all campuses are subject to identical Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations. For this study, four educational institutions’ UAV policies from all fifty U.S. states were examined. The policies were classified from none to highly restrictive. Consistent with expectations, the stringency of UAV regulations is related to the institution’s structure and mission. Publicly funded institutions, particularly the land-grant universities with relatively more community outreach, had the most restrictive policies. Institutions in states with local government ordinances restricting UAVs also tend to have stricter policies. More stringent UAV rules exist in research-oriented institutions. Neither organizational size nor the existence of an aviation program affects institutional UAV policies. Because some of the policies adopted in higher education go beyond the rules mandated by the FAA, some may label the elective policies as being excessive “red tape” that thwart the institutional mission and stymie research.
CAN UAV LIDAR DERIVE VERTICAL STRUCTURE OF HERBACEOUS VEGETATION ON RIVERDIKE?
Authors: Miura N. , Koyanagi T. F. , Yokota S. , Yamada S.
Published: May 2019

Abstract. Herbaceous vegetation on riverdike is important to prevent soil erosion, which may lead to collapse of riverdikes and consequently severe flooding. To keep suitable vegetation condition and secure visibility of riverdike for inspection, managers need to know where thick and tall herbaceous vegetation grows on riverdikes in a cost effective manner. This paper aims to derive vertical structure of herbaceous vegetation on riverdike using UAV LiDAR. UAV LiDAR based indices, V-bottom, V-middle and V-top; presence of vegetation in bottom vegetation (0–50 cm), middle vegetation (50–100 cm) and top vegetation (>100 cm) respectively, were calculated and compared to field survey data for validation. The results showed that UAV LiDAR based assessment strongly correlated with field based assessment in middle and top vegetation with R2 = 0.67 and 0.85, respectively. However, it displayed only moderate correlation in bottom vegetation (R2 = 0.36). It was found that bottom vegetation might be underestimated when forb species or falling grass species is abundant in middle vegetation. However, underestimated place can be easily checked using proposed UAV LiDAR based V-bottom and V-middle values. The vertical structure information derived by proposed method would be valuable assets for vegetation management on riverdike.
A SYSTEM FOR MONITORING OF UAV CAMERA ORIENTATION: DESIGN AND INITIAL ANALYSIS
Authors: Tekavec J. , Oštir K. , Lisec A. , Štebe G.
Published: May 2019

Abstract. Many unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) that are used for aerial mapping are equipped with consumer-grade digital cameras, which use CMOS (Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor) image sensors. Majority of these sensors capture images using an electronic rolling shutter, which can cause distortions on the image if either the camera or the captured objects are moving. This phenomenon is usually ignored in aerial mapping with UAVs in practice. However, there is a lack of published research papers that would prove the effect can be neglected. In this paper, we present the design of the system for monitoring UAV camera orientation. Furthermore, the calibration process to get correct and reliable readings is described. The initial analysis of the data is focused on assessing the accuracy that can be achieved using the proposed system. The main component of our system is a MEMS (Microelectromechanical system) gyroscope. It was selected for its low weight and size, low price and high sampling rates which are all very beneficial characteristics for a system, mounted on a UAV. In a paper, a working prototype is presented that uses the selected MEMS gyroscope connected to a single-board computer. The presented initial analysis of collected data shows, that the system would be capable to indirectly detect the image distortions, caused by camera orientation changes during exposure, in the range of typical ground sample distance (GSD).

Abstract. Climate change and so its effect on terrestrial ecosystem has been a focus point for a while now. Among them, rainfall and temperature changes happen to exert a strong influence on the condition of vegetation cover. So, it is imperative to analyze the variation and inter-relationship between vegetation cover and climate pattern, especially country like Nepal having a dynamic ecosystem. This paper aims to analyze the spatial-temporal distribution of vegetation cover, temperature, and rainfall, and to examine the relationship of the latter two with vegetation for entire Nepal. Primary data used were vegetation and temperature data from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and rainfall data from Climate Hazards Group Infrared Precipitation with Stations (CHIRPS) data product. The relationship analysis was carried out in three phases; first, the trend of vegetation with respect to rainfall and land surface temperature (LST) was inspected over entire study area by creating a time series of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) monthly means for six months, averaged over the whole study period. However, vegetation change pattern across various ecological regions of Nepal also needed to be considered, for the three different regions are profoundly different from each other in a number of factors like altitude and soil type. Finally, the variation of vegetation with climatic parameters, i.e. rainfall and temperature, along the eleven-year study period was also portrayed, to depict how the vegetation cover has been fluctuating over the years. During the study period, the correlation coefficient between vegetation index and rainfall was the highest in October in Terai while that with temperature was in July in Hilly region. Overall, vegetation was influenced greater by the temperature than rainfall in all three ecological regions with the highest correlation coefficient of vegetation with temperature and rainfall, being −0.937 and 0.556 respectively.
AN RGB-D DATA PROCESSING FRAMEWORK BASED ON ENVIRONMENT CONSTRAINTS FOR MAPPING INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS

Published: May 2019

Abstract. The adoption of RGB and depth (RGB-D) sensors for surveying applications (i.e., building information modeling [BIM], indoor navigation, and three-dimensional [3D] models) to replace expensive and time-consuming methods (e.g., stereo cameras, laser scanners) has recently attracted great attention. Due to the distinctive structure and scalability of indoor environments, the depth quality produced from RGB-D cameras and the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system responsible for the cameras pose estimation are substantial problems with existing RGB-D mapping systems. This study introduces a new RGB-D data processing framework that adopts two-dimensional and 3D features from RGB and depth images. To overcome the self-repetitive structure of indoor environments, the proposed framework uses novel description functions for both line and plane features extracted from RGB and depth images for further matching between successive RGB-D frame features. Also, the framework estimates the camera pose by minimizing the combined geometric distance of both two-dimensional and 3D features. Using the previously known structure of the indoor environment, the framework leverages the structural constraints to enhance 3D model precision. The framework also adopts a graph-based optimization technique to distribute the closure error to the graphs nodes and edges when a loop closure is detected. The visual RGB-D SLAM system and the default sensor tracking system (SensorFusion) were used to assess the performance of the proposed framework. The results show that the proposed framework can achieve significant improvement in 3D model accuracy.

Published: May 2019

Abstract. This paper presents a deep learning feature-based method for registration of indoor mobile LiDAR data. Our method is to input point cloud directly, which is more robust to noise than traditional algorithms. The proposed method involves three steps. We first extract the key points by Harris3D algorithm and get their local patches by our sampling method. Second, a Siamese network is trained to describe the patches as local descriptors. Finally, we obtain the final matching pairs depends on the distance which is between two descriptors, and then solve the transformation matrix. The accuracy of registration is within 6 cm when the overlap is greater than 35%. In order to improve the registration accuracy, the ICP algorithm is used to fine-tuning the registration results. And the final registration accuracy is within 3.5 cm. The experiments show that our method applied to the registration of indoor mobile LiDAR data robustly and accurately.
COMPARISON OF FOREST STRUCTURE METRICS DERIVED FROM UAV LIDAR AND ALS DATA
Authors: Bruggisser M. , Hollaus M. , Kükenbrink D. , Pfeifer N.
Published: May 2019

Abstract. Point clouds derived from airborne laser scanning (ALS) and from LiDAR sensors mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles (ULS) reveal differences caused by the different sensor systems and acquisition geometries. These differences in the system characteristics are reflected in forest structure metrics that are derived from the respective point clouds. In our study, we investigate the completeness of scene coverage between the two systems and address differences between structure metrics derived from ULS and ALS, namely in point height quantiles, fractional cover (fc), the vertical complexity index (VCI) and the number of canopy layers (nLayers). The metrics are evaluated for raster cell sizes of 1–10 m in order to investigate the spatial scale on which the sensor systems provide comparable metrics. We found highest correspondences between ALS and ULS in the VCI- and the nLayers-metrics, while fc revealed large differences. For the height quantiles, the absolute differences were larger for the 10%- (h10) and the 50%- (h50) than for the 90%- (h90) height quantile. Furthermore, we found differences between ALS- and ULS-metrics to decrease for larger cell sizes, except for fc, for which the differences increased, and h50 and h90, respectively, for which the differences were relatively stable for all cell sizes.
PAVEMENT MARKING REFLECTIVITY EVALUATION THROUGH RADIOMETRIC CALIBRATION OF THE LEICA P40 TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNER
Authors: Che E. , Olsen M. J. , Parrish C. , Jung J.
Published: May 2019

Abstract. Pavement markings serve as important traffic control devices, delineating traffic lanes and conveying regulations, guidance or warnings to roadway users. To ensure that pavement markings are clearly visible, especially at night, transportation agencies periodically assess the retroreflectivity of various categories of markings through manual approaches at discrete location. Because the radiometric information such as intensity in the lidar data cannot inherently be considered as a retroreflectivity measurement without additional processing, this study rigorously assesses the ability to determine pavement marking retroreflectivity from the Leica ScanStation P40 through radiometric calibration. For the evaluation, data were collected at a study site in Philomath, Oregon using the Leica P40, Leica Pegasus: Two mobile lidar system, and a handheld retroreflectometer as a reference. The results show that, with appropriate calibration, the lidar data can adequately assess the retroreflectivity of pavement markings. Additionally, while corrections have been proposed for range and angle of incidence, these corrections are not straightforward to apply for retroreflective materials, as will be discussed herein. While mobile lidar technology is ideal for a system-wide asset management framework, terrestrial laser scanning can be utilized for detailed investigations at sites such as intersections with highly variable wear where both can enable significant cost savings and applied for a variety of purposes simultaneously including asset management and project development.

With recent improvements in innovations, 3D printer is having a gradually to arouse people curiosity and meet their needs, and beginning to offer exciting and helpful new services. Of these innovations with helped people improve their live, such as miniature figurines or rebuild the wounded which is current recently. Nevertheless, are people willing to accept 3D printer with need and curiosity? There is a need to understand individuals push powers (need and curiosity) against pull power (inertia) on intention to accept and. The aim of this study was to build a new luxury acceptance model (LAM) and evaluate the effects of luxury value and pull and push powers on individual willingness to accept in 3D printer. The analytical results showed that no matter pull or push powers were the key factors for intention to accept 3D printer with online questionnaire survey. Further, findings also indicated that the links from push powers to intention to accept were stronger for the low pull power, supporting the moderating role of inertia. Implications and limitations of this study are briefly outlined.
“Burn all he has, but keep his books”: Gloria Naylor and the Proper Objects of Feminist Chaucer Studies
Authors: Edwards Suzanne M.
Published: May 2019

Through a reading of Gloria Naylor's 1992 novel Bailey's Cafe, this article asks whether feminist scholarship can engage Chaucer without reproducing the misogynist and white supremacist values that shape the canon and his central place in it. By evoking and undercutting references to the Canterbury Tales in Bailey's Cafe, Naylor's literary allusion both illuminates how a desire for Chaucer shapes interpretation and reframes Chaucer's text in terms of its relation to Naylor's novel and African-American literary traditions. Following the intersectional feminist methodology proposed in Bailey's Cafe, this article centers Naylor's medievalism in feminist medieval studies of the early 1990s and reads the Franklin's Tale for its allusions to Bailey's Cafe. Ultimately, it concludes that proper objects for new feminist approaches to Chaucer include the sources suppressed in the Canterbury Tales and the legacies of black feminist thought elided in our own critical genealogies.
“For Rage”: Rape Survival, Women's Anger, and Sisterhood in Chaucer's Legend of Philomela
Authors: Harris Carissa
Published: May 2019

This article examines women's rage in response to rape, arguing that Chaucer depicts the possibilities of female rage and collective action in his Legend of Philomela. This article situates Chaucer's portrayal of sisterly anger in the context of the Philomela narrative in John Gower's Confessio Amantis and Ovid's Metamorphoses. It links this discussion of sisterhood, anger, and survival in medieval texts to contemporary examples of victim-survivors who use similar tactics to respond to their assaults and to challenge the cultural conditions that made them possible.
Time and Again: Feminism, Form, and the Failures of the Legend of Good Women
Authors: Williams Tara
Published: May 2019

At the heart of many readers' frustration with the Legend of Good Women is its repetitive narrative structure. This article considers how we can adapt feminist and queer theories of time to set aside gendered aesthetic expectations and reevaluate that form. Setting the Prologue in dream time raises the possibility of awakening and acting differently in the future. The God of Love and Alceste sketch out different plans to effect that change through penance, offering narrative structures aligned with the key metaphors of the calendar and the daisy. The poem allows these multiple possibilities to coexist, and the recursive nature of the legends as a collection invites readers to synchronize as a community and engage in the process of change alongside the dreamer.
Contracts, Activist Feminism, and the Wife of Bath's Tale
Authors: Lipton Emma
Published: May 2019

In contrast to an enduring association of the law with hegemonic power, the Wife of Bath's Tale demonstrates the potential for legal practices to facilitate change, especially through tactical feminist coalition building. The tale does not promote the retributive model of justice associated with King Arthur's court, but embraces a vision of law, associated with the Queen and her female allies, that promotes social change through reeducation. Although elsewhere Chaucerian women are disempowered or objectified by the law, the tale's series of interlocking contracts empowers female agency rather than objectifying women. The shifting voices and audiences at the end present the contract as a tactic, not as a final solution to the precarity of women's safety or marital happiness. The lack of justice at the end of the tale—where a rapist is rewarded with a wife both faithful and fair—is a call to activism, not a vision of equity achieved.

This article considers George Bernard Shaw's musical background and knowledge and its application to the structure of Pygmalion. It explores how throughout this play Shaw indicates the melodic cadences within the dialogue with a musicality that is so significant that the play almost comes across as a musical drama or an operatic score, and how this in turn makes Pygmalion the perfect play for a musical adaptation.
Distribución del riesgo psicosocial laboral en Chile
Authors: Pérez-Franco Juan
Published: May 2019

Introducción: El riesgo psicosocial laboral (RPSL) ha sido reconocido como un factor de creciente importancia para la salud de los trabajadores. La prevención de este riesgo está vinculada a la posibilidad de diferenciar aquellas actividades económicas donde se concentra. Objetivo: Diferenciar las actividades económicas en Chile por su nivel de RPSL. Método: A partir de la base de datos ENETS 2009-2010, aplicando análisis factorial y de consistencia interna (alfa de Cronbach), se determinó la presencia de 11 escalas de RPSL. Con ellas se realizó un análisis de las actividades económicas (de acuerdo a la Clasificación Industrial Internacional Uniforme) en Chile. Resultados: El mayor RPSL se concentra en servicios administrativos y de apoyo (oficina, aseo y jardinería), en los hogares familiares (trabajadoras domésticas) y en el retail (grandes tiendas y supermercados). Los RPSL más elevados son el incumplimiento de la seguridad social, la insatisfacción con el nivel de salarios y la carga de tareas domésticas. A la inversa, los menores niveles de RPSL son el sentido del trabajo y la ausencia de abuso. El abuso, de una manera contraintuitiva, destacó como una dimensión de bajo nivel de riesgo. En la mayoría de las dimensiones las mujeres son las más desfavorecidas, concentrando mayores niveles de RPSL. Conclusiones: El nivel de RPSL en Chile no está uniformemente distribuido y son las mujeres las que se exponen a mayores niveles de riesgo. Estos hallazgos permiten diseñar políticas focalizadas de intervención sobre el RPSL.

Objetivos: Investigar la influencia de las redes sociales, apoyo social y uso de servicios de salud sobre la depresión en cuidadores de adultos mayores rurales. Sujetos: 100 cuidadores rurales proveedores de cuidados para adultos mayores. Método: Estudio transversal con muestreo aleatorio estratificado; se administra a los cuidadores la escala de apoyo social (EAS), de redes sociales (ERS) y de depresión (CES-D). Resultados: Los cuidadores se dividieron en dos grupos según proveyeran cuidados a adultos mayores sanos (AMS) o enfermos (AME). Los cuidadores para AMS y AME fueron esposa (28 y 43%), hijos y nueras (51 y 40%) y nietos (2 y 7,5%) respectivamente. Los tres servicios de salud más usados por cuidadores fueron visita médica (65,2%), ayuda de familiares/amigos (41,2%), curadores alternativos o medicinas no tradicionales (31,9%). Hubo diferencias significativas entre cuidadores de adultos mayores sanos y enfermos en depresión (t=3.195, p<0.01) y ERS (t=1.955, p<0.05). La depresión se asocia con edad de cuidadores (β=2.332), ingresos (β=−0.325), tiempo de cuidados (β=0.253), ERS (β=−1.984, p=0.001) y género del adulto mayor (β=0.143, p<0.003). Discusión: La familia es la principal fuente de cuidados en medios rurales de menores ingresos socioeconómicos, la esposa e hijas ocupan roles centrales, usando recursos médicos y no tradicionales. La depresión de cuidadores se asocia con características de adultos mayores, siendo la disponibilidad de fuentes de apoyo un mediador potencial. Conclusión: La disponibilidad de apoyos sociales y uso de servicios de salud son importantes para cuidadores rurales, como recursos para disminuir la severidad y presencia de depresión

Published: May 2019

El último caso de rabia que afectó a un joven de Quilpué, región de Valparaíso, ha generado nuevamente interés por los perros en las calles. Esto debido a los problemas que ocasionan en salud pública, como por ejemplo mordeduras, y la transmisión de zoonosis, como es el caso de la rabia. La vacunación de los perros contra la rabia es esencial para limitar la transmisión del virus. Objetivo. La siguiente revisión bibliográfica se centra en estimar la proporción de vacunación antirrábica canina en diferentes ciudades de Chile, entre los años 2002 y 2012. Metodología. Se utilizó como fuente de información solo memorias de título de alumnos de pregrado de tres universidades de Chile, relacionadas con caracterizaciones demográficas y/o aspectos sanitarios de poblaciones caninas. Resultados. Se observó un promedio de 51,4% de perros vacunados contra la rabia en estudios en que no se solicitó certificado antirrábico y un 25,1% de perros vacunados al solicitar certificado. Discusión. Analizando los porcentajes de vacunación antirrábica en perros en algunas zonas de Chile, es posible establecer que la cobertura de vacunación en estas zonas es inferior al 70% propuesto por la OIE para poblaciones caninas, lo que conlleva un riesgo en la presentación de casos de rabia en animales y humanos. Conclusión. En algunas zonas de Chile hay niveles bajos de vacunación antirrábica en perros, y en ocasiones nulo. Es necesario fomentar la tenencia

Objetivo: Evaluar la funcionalidad familiar en personas privadas de libertad (PPL), en las tres instituciones penitenciarias del departamento de Risaralda, Colombia. Métodos: Estudio cuantitativo observacional de corte transversal, en PPL de tres establecimientos: uno de mujeres en Dosquebradas, dos de varones, en Santa Rosa y Pereira. Se calculó una muestra aleatoria con un nivel de confianza de 95%, diferencia esperada de 5%, estratificada por género. Previo consentimiento informado, se aplicó el instrumento FASES III. Resultados: Edad mínima, 18 años; máxima, 74. Promedio de edad, 36 años; escolaridad máxima, 15 años, con un promedio de 6. Permanencia en la institución entre uno y 15 años, con un promedio de 8 años. De acuerdo con el modelo de Olson, las 262 personas privadas de libertad pertenecían a los siguientes tipos de familias: 123 (46,6%) correspondieron a familias balanceadas, 96 (36,6%) a rango medio y 43 (16,4%) a familias extremas. Al evaluar la cohesión, se encontró que el 37,8% de las familias fueron desligadas y/o amalgamadas; con respecto a la adaptabilidad, el 31,7% de las familias se consideraron rígidas o caóticas. No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas por sexo. Discusión: Al igual que en las otras investigaciones, la población es joven, con bajo nivel académico, bajo estrato socioeconómico. En el estudio en Calarcá (Quindío) se encontró mayor funcionalidad familiar, aunque el instrumento fue el Apgar familiar. Conclusiones: Es importante trabajar desde los entes gubernamentales el afianzamiento de las relaciones entre las PPL y sus familias. Requiere redimensionar nuevas medidas de seguridad en los centros penitenciarios, facilitando una mejor calidad de vida y satisfacción familiar.

La Ley 21.030 de Chile despenalizó la interrupción voluntaria del embarazo en tres causales (riesgo de vida de la mujer, malformación de carácter letal del feto y embarazo producto de violación), e introdujo por primera vez en la legislación del país, el derecho a la objeción de conciencia de los equipos clínicos que participan directamente de los procedimientos de vaciamiento uterino de las gestaciones en que concurre alguna de las tres situaciones consideradas en la Ley. Esta Ley tuvo un amplio debate social y legislativo, y a un año de su implementación podemos observar con preocupación, que la objeción de conciencia de los equipos clínicos se alza como la principal barrera de acceso a las prestaciones de salud a las cuales tienen derechos las mujeres en estas situaciones en Chile.1,2 El presente artículo espera aportar al debate nacional sobre el rol de los profesionales de salud ante el nuevo escenario jurídico-sanitario, donde el equilibrio entre las libertades personales de los profesionales y el legítimo derecho de las mujeres a poder acceder a los servicios definidos en la Ley 21.030 estén en el centro de la discusión, y se expresan como una oportunidad o definitivamente una amenaza al estado de derecho, es decir a nuestra democracia

Essential for the individual’s successful adaptation in the society, text comprehension is a cognitive activity more and more complicated to the child (Blanc & Brouillet, 2005). However, these understanding difficulties get better with the age (Boisclair, Makdissi, Sanchez, Fortier, & Sirois, 2004; Segui & Léveillé, 1977). The present study, working on the principle that illustration is beneficial to the comprehension process (Ammari, 2015; Blanc & Tapiero, 2002; Gyselinck, 1995, 1996; Gyselinck & Tardieu, 1993; Reinwein, 1988; Rizk Batien, 2009; Vezin, 1986), has proposed to study the effect, the role of this one on comprehension to the children through tales. Two groups of students aged from 7 to 9 years old read two short stories, illustrated or not. Two tests were also submitted to them: the task of understanding and highlighting important words and/or ideas. The results obtained show clearly the positive effect of the illustration on the students’ performances and testify thus to the fact that illustration can be used as a palliative to the understanding difficulties of to the children.

The new Dutch Code of Conduct for Research Integrity

The new Dutch Code of Conduct for Research Integrity (2018) offers an important document for strengthening good research practices. It can be used in training researchers, informing the general public on standards guaranteeing trustworthiness of scientific research and handling allegations of misconduct in this research. The code departs from a set of principles worked out in standards describing the do’s and don’ts of good research practice. The Dutch code distinguishes itself for amongst others having a special section on duties of care of the organization where researchers are appointed. The organization has special responsibilities to give support to its researchers to develop good research practice and to foster a research culture in which dilemmas of integrity can be discussed in an open atmosphere. In this article special attention is paid to the principle of dependency. It is with regard to this principle that the researcher is most vulnerable, especially when it comes to commissioned research projects. How can the researcher be supported when dependency and honesty are under pressure?
The Schengen Area as an illustration of the Late Westphalian order

Klasycznymi elementami tworzącymi przestrzeń międzynarodową są podmioty państwowe, suwerenność, terytorium, prawo międzynarodowe i pochodne tych elementów zakorzenione w ładzie wesfalskim.
Ich zwornikiem są granice, które porządkują przestrzeń międzynarodową, a zmiany ich położenia, struktury czy zasad przekraczania pociągają za sobą ogromne konsekwencje dla porządku politycznego. Wyznaczniki ładu późnowesfalskiego, którymi są: zmienność, niepewność i pluralizm możliwości, burzą w pewnym wymiarze wypracowane mechanizmy funkcjonowania tych elementów. Zmiany zasad i możliwości funkcjonowania państw w środowisku międzynarodowym powodują często deficyt mechanizmów reakcji na nie i pojawiający się efekt zaskoczenia. Zmianom ulega również istota granic,
do których zaliczymy: redefinicję podziału wnętrza państwa i środowiska zewnętrznego, zastępowanie percepcji granicy w kategoriach bariery na rzecz pomostu oraz rozszerzenie praktyk kontroli granic o koncepcję zarządzania granicami. Strefa Schengen urzeczywistnia porządek późnowestfalski, redefiniując pojęcie środowiska wewnętrznego i zewnętrznego, granic państwowych i granic zewnętrznych oraz jest przejawem zmienności, niepewności i sprzeczności. Strefa ewoluowała w wymiarze terytorialnym i prawnym, przechodząc przez fazy wprowadzenia, wzrostu i dojrzałości oraz schyłku, który nie oznacza upadku strefy Schengen, ale niepewność co do uwarunkowań jej działania i jest przejawem koncepcji o „niezdecydowaniu” granic. Obecna faza może stać się punktem zwrotnym w kierunku konwersji strefy Schengen, niosąc ze sobą nowe rozwiązania.

The European Union strives for modern and effective border management through the use of the new technologies. This study concerns the adopted on 30 November 2017 EU Entry/Exit System. This system, which is expected to become fully operational by 2020, should contribute to the acceleration of border controls at the external borders of the Schengen area and increase the freedom of movement while enhancing the Union’s internal security. In addition, it is currently replacing the existing system of manual stamping of passports and will register electronic data on entries/exits (and information on refusal of entry) of third-country nationals who have been granted a short-term stay in the Schengen area.
