Demand for cosmetology procedures in accordance with psychological aspects of personality
Authors: Задионченко Екатерина , Zadionchenko Ekaterina , Казакова Полина , Kazakova Polina
Published: June 2019

An increased number of cosmetic institutes and cosmetologists as well as a wide range of service in this field is explained by natural physiological processes in our body, whichsteadily lead to decline of its functions, i.e. aging. Fashion for bright, young and successful look makes a great contribution to psychological behavior of a modern woman making her conform to social trends. The presence of various skin diseasesresulting from pathological aspects, disruption of hormonal status, bad ecology, and stress entails early appearance of aesthetic drawbacks that makes a person call upon specialists of aesthetic and cosmetology fields, or even dermatologists, in some severe cases.

We were interested people of what age and with what problems address cosmetologists. The object of our research was men and women older than 18, dissatisfied with their appearance or having some skin problems. We did not take into account people who visit cosmetologists on instructions of their parents (average age of such patients is 12±1,8 years old). Anonymous questionnaire was held among 163 people, among whom there were 37 men (average age is 28±1,9 years old) and 125 women (average age is 33±1,7 years old). All the respondents were asked to answer the questions of a prepared questionnaire (pic.1; pic.2): about multiplicity of visits to a cosmetologist, about the reasons of visiting a cosmetologist, types of cosmetology service, and to evaluate (subjectively) the efficiency of mass-market cosmetics and professional cosmetics, and to point out the qualities that a cosmetologist should possess.

By analyzing the obtained data we learnt that men (75,3%) almost do not visit a cosmetologist, but women vice versa visit a cosmetologists on a regular basis (70,9%). However, 22,1% of women carry out procedures more often than 1-2 times a month, and the others (6,6%) – 1-2 times a week. It happened that the most popular procedure is depilation (34,4%). A facial (21,6%) and massage (21,6%) are less in demand.It was revealed that women almost equally use mass-market cosmetics and professional cosmetics while men (85%) do not differentiate between these them and do not use any of them. According to a subjective evaluation, in 46,4% of the cases the use of professional cosmetics was more popular than cosmetics made of simple home ingredients that was bought in ordinary shops.

93,1% of respondents pointed out that the most important quality of a cosmetologist is medical education.

Despite high motivation of women to visit a cosmetologist, according to the questionnaire, high prices of procedures limits the quantity of visits, 34,2% of respondents told this.
The Problem of Bad Governance as a Determinant of State Dysfunctionality in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Robert Kłosowicz
Published: June 2019

Bad governance can very quickly ruin the economic situation of the whole country. However, in the conditions of the Western world, even though they can cause a lot of damage, more or less developed administrative apparatus is able to minimize the effects of bad decisions, and the society has a chance to rebuff the rulers in the next elections. In so-called dysfunctional states bad governance can damage an already weak country’s economy. Most researchers dealing with the issue of the state in Sub-Saharan Africa believe that, once the decolonisation was over, the power in the region was mostly taken by people whose leadership must be evaluated negatively, represented by such dictators as Jean-Bédel Bokassa, Mobutu Sese Seko or Idi Amin. The paper is trying to explain the interconnection between bad governance experienced by Sub-Saharan African countries and state dysfunctionality phenomenon from which they suffer. The author formulated the analysis and assessment of bad governance presented in this article on the basis of his own field studies carried out in African countries and research of specialist literature related to African and political studies.
Online Fundraising, Self-Image, and the Long-Term Impact of Ask Avoidance
Authors: Adena Maja , Huck Steffen
Published: June 2019

We provide the first field evidence pointing at the role of pure self-image, independent of social image, in charitable giving. In an online fundraising campaign for a social youth project run on an opera ticket booking platform, we document how individuals seem to engage in self-deception to preserve their self-image. In addition, we provide evidence on stark adverse long-run effects of the fundraising campaign for ticket sales. “Avoiding the ask,” opera customers who faced more insistent online fundraising buy fewer tickets in the following season. Our results suggest that fundraising management should not decide in isolation about their campaigns, even if very successful. Rather, broader operational concerns have to be considered.

rethinking consensus in the community of philosophical inquiry: a research agenda
Authors: Nishiyama Kei
Published: June 2019

In Philosophy for Children (P4C), consensus-making is often regarded as something that needs to be avoided. P4C scholars believe that consensus-making would dismiss P4C’s ideals, such as freedom, inclusiveness, and diversity. This paper aims to counteract such assumptions, arguing that P4C scholars tend to focus on a narrow, or universal, concept of “consensus” and dismiss various forms of consensus, especially what Niemeyer and Dryzek (2007) call meta-consensus. Meta-consensus does not search for universal consensus, but focuses on the process by which people achieve various non-universal forms of consensus, such as agreement on the value of opponents’ normative view or agreement on the degree to which they accept opponents’ view. This paper argues that such meta-consensus is a key part of what Clinton Golding (2009) calls “philosophical progress,” which is the essential element that makes inquiry philosophical. In other words, without meta-consensus and philosophical progress, inquiry ends in merely conversation or antagonistic talk. Drawing on the example of P4C conducted with Japanese students, this paper shows how meta-consensus is achieved in the community of philosophical inquiry and how it contributes to make inquiry philosophical.
encouraging the teacher-agent: resisting the neo-liberal culture in initial teacher education
Authors: Love Rhiannon
Published: June 2019

Influenced by Sachs’ (2001) ‘activist identity’ I propose that pre-service teacher education or initial teacher education (ITE), as I will refer to it, could, and indeed should, encourage a new form of teacher; the ‘teacher-agent.’  This teacher-agent would be aware of the pressures and dictates of the neo-liberal educational culture and its ensuing performative discourse, and choose to resist it, in favour of a more holistic view of education. This view of education encourages inclusive, creative and democratic forms of education concerned with encouraging a social conscience in children and young people, as well as seeing education as concerned with the whole child.  These more holistic approaches to education could include pedagogical approaches such as Philosophy for Children (P4C), Rights’ Respecting Education and Slow Pedagogy, which can not only provide a more balanced understanding and deeper experience of education for both teachers and pupils, but can also help teachers to resist the debilitating impact of the neo-liberal performative discourse, potentially also thus impacting on their wellbeing and ability to retain their integrity as professionals.  This may also have the potential to halt the rapid exodus of new teachers from the profession. It is my contention, that engaging with pedagogies such as P4C in this new iteration of ITE could help not only to encourage the Student Teacher-Agent, but also, as a consequence, develop the Citizen-Agent in the children they are teaching. In this paper I consider four key areas where I propose P4C could play a role in this alternative model of Initial Teacher Education; Democracy in action, the teacher as Teacher-Facilitator, a space for co-construction of knowledge, and encouraging Social Justice.

Objetivo: este trabalho avaliou o estado nutricional e a capacidade funcional de pacientes com síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida hospitalizados. Metodologia: Estudo transversal e descritivo realizado nas enfermarias de Infectologia, com pacientes HIV (Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana), com idade igual ou superior a19 anos (n = 87). As variáveis analisadas foram: sexo, idade, desfecho, tempo de internamento, diagnóstico secundário, presença de comorbidade, peso, estatura, índice de massa corpórea (IMC), circunferência do braço, circunferência muscular do braço, área muscular do braço, dobra cutânea triciptal, força de preensão manual e espessura do músculo adutor do polegar. Resultados: No estudo, 64,4% dos pacientes eram do sexo masculino, com idade média de 39,24±10,45 anos. O risco nutricional foi observado em 64,4% dos casos. Houve prevalência de desnutrição, segundo o IMC, em 25,3% dos pacientes, mas essa prevalência alcançou 78,2%, pela dobra cutânea triciptal, e 62,2% pela circunferência muscular do braço. O tempo de internamento foi maior nos pacientes com risco nutricional (77,1%), que permaneceram internados por mais de 21 dias (p=0,041). A força de preensão manual e a espessura do músculo adutor do polegar foram menores nos pacientes com menor IMC. Conclusão: Houve alta prevalência de risco nutricional, desnutrição e baixo desempenho dos métodos funcionais nos pacientes hospitalizados com HIV. A espessura do músculo adutor do polegar e a força de preensão manual tiveram associação estatisticamente significativa como IMC, demonstrando ser bastante úteis na avaliação da capacidade funcional de pacientes com síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida.DOI: 10.12957/demetra.2019.34792

Comparison of Evolutionary Development of Cellular Automata Using Various Representations
Authors: Bidlo Michal
Published: June 2019

A comparative study is presented regarding the evolutionary design of complex multi-state cellular automata.

In particular, two-dimensional cellular automata will be considered in combination with pattern development problem as a~case study.

Two techniques for the representation of transition functions for the cellular automata are proposed: a conventional table-based method and an advanced concept utilising conditionally matching rules.

It will be shown that using a proper settings of Evolution Strategy, various working solutions can be obtained using both representations.

Some observations from an analysis of resulting cellular automata will be presented which indicate that the behavior of the automata is totally different and depends on the representation applied.

Specifically, the table representation exhibit a chaotic development during which a target pattern emerges at a moment.

On the other hand, the conditional rules are able to achieve behavior that progressively constructs the target pattern which, in addition, represents a stable final state.

Moreover, the latter method also exhibits significantly higher success rate which represents one of its advantages and proves an importance of systematic research in this area.
A Hierarchical Approach for Accelerating IoT Data Management Process Based on SDN Principles
Authors: Eghbali Zahra , Lighvan Mina Zolfy
Published: June 2019

Internet of things is a new technology that connects billions of smart devices through the Internet. This important technology is heavily affecting different aspects of human life and plays an important role in variety of domains. The number of smart devices connecting to IoT and the amount of data gathered or produced by these devices are increasing. This large volume of data requires a lot of effort for processing and analysis. In order to organize, secure and balance the load in IoT, the novel and creative ideas for IoT design and management are required. Software Defined Networking is a new and promising paradigm and its main idea is to decouple the control and management operations from physical devices and setting them inside a logically centralized control layer. Due to its unique capabilities, SDN can be a good choice for managing dynamic and complicated networks such as IoT. In this paper, a distributed approach is proposed for accelerating data management and balancing the load between IoT devices. The proposed framework makes it possible to apply different kinds of management, security and load balancing strategies using a distributed control plane. Experimental results indicate that our scheme exhibits a reduction in the average turnaround time and the average waiting time and it will improve the processing performance. The proposed approach will also distribute tasks between devices, so that there will be no under-loaded device when a part of network is under the processing pressure.

The Beautiful Jewess as Borderline Figure in Europe's Internal Colonialism: Some Remarks on the Intertwining of Orientalism and Antisemitism
Authors: Brunotte Ulrike
Published: June 2019

European Orientalism had different societal and cultural frames in France and Great Britain. These were the main objects of investigation in Said's book Orientalism, a process which Said treats as an explicit political-colonial setting and colonial discourse. According to Said's widely criticized thesis, Germany, a country without many colonies, played no important role in the scholarly and political enactment of orientalism. Referring to the prestigious German orientalist and biblical scholarship, and also to processes of internal orientalization as tools of Germany's “colonial fantasies” and minority politics, this contribution explores discourses on the “Orient” as a prominent way in which to form a discursive construction of the Jews as internal Others. Moving beyond Said's dictum that orientalism is “a strange, secret sharer of Western anti-Semitism,” I investigate the plural history of topical discourses, hybrid figures and recurrent narratives that symbolize internal religious and cultural differences. The Jews have often been regarded in the Western world as occidental and oriental. The liminal position of the Jews in European imagination is all the more relevant when it comes to the gendered dimension of orientalist discourse. This article focuses on the figure of the “beautiful Jewess,” analyzed as the gendered and affective embodiment of the Jewish Question. Starting from the presupposition of her situatedness on a border zone between religions and cultures, I focus on her depiction in literature. I analyze how literature explores the ambivalences of the stereotype and opens up third spaces of reflection. Narrative and scenic discourses on the “Orient” are analyzed as a multi-layered and ambivalent ensemble of relational references. A special focus is on the role of gender in the representation of the Jews as “internal Orientals.”
К биографии В.Ф. Войно-Ясенецкого: «курский период» жизни святителя Луки (1905-1908 гг.)
Authors: Логинов Сергей Павлович
Published: June 2019

На основании документальных материалов Государственного архива Курской области сделана попытка осветить относительно короткий период в жизни святителя Луки (В.Ф. Войно-Ясенецкого, 1877-1961), всемирно известного подвижника Русской православной церкви XX в. 1905-1908 гг. — время его жизни и медицинской деятельности в Курской губернии в качестве земского врача. Этот достаточно короткий жизненный отрезок в его судьбе был очень насыщенным. В это время будущий архиепископ состоялся как врач и хирург, провел уникальные операции по новаторской методике, сделал ряд важных публикаций в престижных научных журналах. Здесь, в Курской губернии, земский доктор впервые стал отцом, снискал любовь и уважение многочисленных пациентов и одновременно вызвал недовольство своей профессиональной деятельностью у местных чиновников. Тем не менее «курский период» жизни В.Ф. Войно-Ясенецкого до сих пор специально не изучался, подобное исследование предпринимается впервые. Дан детальный историографический обзор изучаемой темы. Приведены сведения в целом о состоянии здравоохранения в Курской губернии в начале ХХ в. и характеристика «народного здравия» в Фатежском уезде по месту службы В.Ф. Войно-Ясенецкого.
Экспедиция Л.Н. Жеребцова в Алтайский край в 1969 г. в контексте изучения этноареальных групп народов коми

Published: June 2019

Представлены исследования этноареальной группы алтайских коми на основе научной и научно-организационной документации отдела этнографии и археологии Коми филиала АН СССР за 1960-1980-е гг., отложившейся в Научном архиве Коми научного центра Уральского отделения РАН. Летом 1969 г. этнографическая группа Сибирского фольклорно-этнографического отряда под руководством Л.Н. Жеребцова проводила исследования в Алтайском крае. Это была единственная экспедиция этнографов Коми филиала АН СССР, в которой были рассмотрены вопросы сохранения языка, фольклора, особенностей материальной культуры и самосознания различных поколений жителей сел Зыряновка, Новозыряново, потомков переселенцев из Коми края в середине XVIII — начале XX в. Отчеты экспедиции 1969 г. содержат богатый материал опросов населения сел Алтайского края, позволяют дать оценку содержания исторической памяти представителей различных поколений потомков переселенцев из Коми края, их этнокультурных ориентаций в конце 1960-х гг., показать множественность форм этнической идентичности и формирование региональной сибирской идентичности в этноареальной группе алтайских коми.
Археологические коллекции Института монголоведения, буддологии и тибетологии СО РАН: история формирования и источниковый потенциал
Authors: Дикий Ярослав Витальевич
Published: June 2019

Проанализирована история формирования археологических коллекций, хранящихся в Институте монголоведения, буддологии и тибетологии СО РАН. Рассмотрены основные дефиниции: коллекция, археологическая коллекция; приведен обзор публикаций об археологических коллекциях в сибирских регионах. Автор констатирует, что в Бурятии внимание к коллекциям в источниковедческом контексте незначительно. Установлена взаимосвязь тематического и территориального расширения археологических исследований с изменениями качественного и количественного состава коллекций института. Показана динамика развития полевых изысканий на территории Бурятии с 1960-х гг. по 2018 г., приведены сведения о числе открытых памятников по десятилетиям. Отмечая различные периоды активности и спада, автор сформулировал вероятные причины этих изменений — нехватка или прием квалифицированных кадров, недостаточное (зачастую — полное отсутствие) финансирования или получение гранта на исследования и т.д.

Выявлена неполнота археологического собрания Института монголоведения, буддологии и тибетологии, так как часть артефактов, причем наиболее интересных с научной точки зрения, в 1970-2000-х гг. была передана для хранения в музеи, в настоящее время не всегда доступна для новых методов исследований. Автор поднимает вопрос о необходимости «виртуального» восстановления целостности коллекций для достижения комплексности источниковой базы исследований. Сделан вывод о дуалистическом характере археологических коллекций Института, во-первых, как источника по истории науки в Бурятии, во-вторых, как источниковой базы для историко-археологических построений и гипотез.
Жилища одинцовской культуры второй половины V-VI вв. (по материалам городища Малый Гоньбинский кордон-2/6-2)
Authors: Сайберт Виолетта Олеговна , Казаков Александр Альбертович , Грушин Сергей Петрович
Published: June 2019

Статья посвящена характеристике одинцовских жилищ второй половины V-VI вв. н.э., исследованных на городище Малый Гоньбинский кордон-2/6-2 (МГК). Памятник расположен в Барнаульско-Бийском Приобье, на высокой террасе правого берега Оби. В ходе исследования экспедицией Алтайского государственного университета в 1993 г. большая часть памятника была раскопана, но материалы до настоящего времени так и не введены в научный оборот.

В результате анализа изученных объектов были определены признаки, позволяющие выделить жилища из всей совокупности зафиксированных при археологических раскопках построек. К таким признакам отнесены наличие котлована и его форма, площадь постройки, остатки очага, планиграфи-ческая вписанность объекта в имеющуюся систему размещения жилищ на площади городища. Из 30 зафиксированных на городище МГК-2/6-2 построек к жилищным конструкциям были отнесены 14 объектов. По планиграфии жилища разделяются на две группы. Первая группа состоит из семи близко расположенных друг к другу котлованов, примыкающих к краю террасы, вторая группа, также состоящая из семи котлованов, расположена вдоль линии ров — вал. Все зафиксированные котлованы жилищ имели подквадратную форму и площадь в пределах от 25 до 78 кв. м. Жилища относятся к полуземля-ночным срубным конструкциям с самонесущей каркасной крышей. Жилища отапливались одним очагом. В большинстве случаев вход не фиксировался, однако, вероятнее всего, он был направлен в центр городища. Материал, зафиксированный в жилищах, в основном представлен развалами сосудов и скоплениями керамики, а также единичными фрагментами костей животных и каменных орудий. Новые данные по жилищным комплексам городища МГК-2/6-2 значительно пополняют источниковую базу по изучению раннесредневековой истории Барнаульско-Бийского Приобья.
Digital LGBTQ Archives as Sites of Public Memory and Pedagogy
Authors: VanHaitsma Pamela
Published: June 2019

While scholars rightly question exaggerated claims for the democratizing potential of digital archives, this essay argues they facilitate civic participation that rhetoricians should encourage further via our pedagogies of public memory. I advance this argument through analysis of four LGBTQ sites: the ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives, ACT UP New York Records, Arizona Queer Archives, and Digital Transgender Archive. Engagement with these sites is fruitful for exploring archival participation with respect to preserving the past and advancing claims about LGBTQ lives in the present and future.
The Monstrous Election: Horror Framing in Televised Campaign Advertisements during the 2016 Presidential Election
Authors: Montgomery Fielding
Published: June 2019

American politics and horror have been linked since the birth of the United States. Within this genre, two frames of horror are common: the classic and the conflicted. The 2016 presidential campaign advertisements of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton employed these horror frames in vastly different ways. Analysis of these ads as a part of an extended message to the American public reveals that Clinton primarily used a conflicted horror frame when attacking Trump, with some rare usage of the classic horror frame. Further, her campaign gave little in the way of audience efficacy through positive assessments of herself, specific policy proposals to defeat the monster, or calls for collective, mob action. Trump, however, almost exclusively used the classic horror frame to articulate threats to America. Even though this frame is more conducive to conventional demonization and fear mongering, Trump also included specific policy proposals, numerous positive assessments of himself, and a call for mob action by American voters to slay the monsters facing the country.
Towards achieving sustainable fishing through EU trade agreements?
Authors: Vatsov Mihail
Published: June 2019

The European Union (EU) has been supporting its Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) through its trade powers for 40 years. This practice has evolved significantly over the years. This paper explores this evolution with respect to achieving sustainable fishing beyond EU waters. In particular, this paper examines two major ways in which the EU trade agreements impact sustainable fishing abroad. First, the discussion looks at the EU’s use of trade agreements to leverage access to the fishing resources of third States. The paper finds this EU practice to be lacking the necessary coherence and transparency and it raises doubts about the balance between commercial and sustainability concerns. Second, the discussion looks at the fisheries cooperation provisions included in the various EU trade agreements. In that regard the paper examines the changing and evolving emphasis on sustainable fishing. The paper finds that the EU’s trade agreements have evolved greatly. The contemporary EU trade agreements seek to ensure sustainable fishing as none before them have. As such the EU is successfully using them as vessels for implementing its external CFP. The EU does so by setting the agenda on the international plane and diffusing specific CFP norms through its trade agreements.
The EU’s duty of non-recognition and the territorial scope of trade agreements covering unlawfully acquired territories
Authors: Kassoti Eva
Published: June 2019

Recently, the international legality of the EU’s economic activity in unlawfully acquired territories has gained much salience. Claims are increasingly heard that the duty of non-recognition requires the inapplicability of trade agreements to unlawfully acquired territories. In this light, this article attempts a survey of the relevant EU practice by focusing on the case-studies of Palestine and Western Sahara. The main question examined here is whether the EU has acted in breach of its obligation of non-recognition by concluding agreements with third States that extend to unlawfully acquired territories. Overall, this article argues that there is a growing gap between EU identity rhetoric as a promoter of international law and its actual practice on the ground.
Economic and non-economic values and objectives in the EU’s international trade: Normative tensions, actors and processes
Authors: Jaremba Urszula , Kanetake Machiko , Koning Ingrid
Published: June 2019

This Europe and the World: A law review special issue comprises selected papers presented at a RENFORCE workshop on the theme of tensions between the EU’s trade and non-economic values, held at Utrecht University in November 2017. The symposium addresses normative dilemmas underlying the EU’s trade law and policy. Normative dilemmas subsist between, on the one hand, the EU’s basic pursuit of its commercial interests and trade liberalization, and, on the other hand, the EU’s mandate to promote and safeguard a number of non-economic values, including human rights and sustainable development. The journal symposium aims to unveil normative tensions existing in the EU’s trade and investment policy, and understand some of the key actors and processes through which normative tensions are created and also mitigated. While the tensions between economic and non-economic values in the EU’s trade law and policy have been extensively discussed in literature, the present symposium highlights some of the recent developments in the EU’s trade relations, analyses not only human rights but also sustainable development, and examines the impact of new technologies.
Autoridade local e o genocídio de Ruanda de 1994: O caso do Burgomestre Jean-Paul Akayesu
Authors: Fonseca Danilo Ferreira da
Published: June 2019

O presente artigo visa refletir acerca do lugar que os políticos ruandeses vinculados às pequenas administrações locais, principalmente às comunas, possuíram frente à organização e à execução do genocídio de Ruanda em 1994. Para tal, construímos uma análise a partir de um estudo de caso vinculado ao Burgomestre Jean-Paul Akayesu, o qual administrava a Comuna de Taba (prefeitura de Gitarama) no período anterior e durante o genocídio. A análise é construída principalmente a partir do documento produzido pela Tribunal Penal Internacional para Ruanda (ICTR, da sigla em inglês) intitulado The prosecutor versus Jean-Paul Akayesu – Case No. ICTR-96- 4-T, de 1998. Desta forma, busca-se dimensionar também os efeitos nefastos que o colonialismo belga realizou em um processo de colonização mental.
Dens in dente Tipo III A: relato de caso
Authors: Cortizo Paula Andrade , Almeida Gustavo Moreira de , Porto Junior Alberto Costa , Mendes Elida Boaventura
Published: June 2019

Introdução: dens in dente é uma anomalia rara de desenvolvimento, caracterizada pela invaginação dos tecidos dentários, podendo variar de um ligeiro aumento da fosseta do cíngulo a um profundo sulco, que pode se estender até o ápice dentário. Objetivo: o objetivo do presente artigo foi relatar um caso clínico e descrever as peculiaridades dos achados clínicos e radiográficos de um dens in dente Tipo III A, com ênfase na descrição de sua morfologia completamente atípica, além das dificuldades que foram encontradas no diagnóstico e durante o tratamento endodôntico. Caso clínico: o paciente compareceu ao ambulatório de uma clínica de Endodontia com queixa de dor e leve edema. Ao exame clínico e radiográfico, observou-se imagem sugestiva de dens in dente no elemento #22, sendo, então, proposto tratamento endodôntico convencional, com estudo tomográfico. Resultados: após 1 ano e 6 meses de acompanhamento, o paciente encontrava-se assintomático. Notou-se reparo satisfatório, com formação óssea, apesar da sobre-extensão do cone. Conclusão: foi possível perceber a importância da tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico como auxiliar no diagnóstico e planejamento da conduta frente a casos de dens in dente, principalmente por aumentar as chances de sucesso, evitando a perda precoce de elementos dentários.

Die Universitätsbibliothek Dortmund (UB) steht vor der Herausforderung, künftig Aussagen zum Publikationsverhalten ihrer Angehörigen treffen zu müssen. Dabei liegt die eine Schwierigkeit darin, Personen eindeutig Publikationen zuzuordnen. Zweitens müssen die Publikationsleistungen möglichst sowohl für einzelne Autoren als auch für alle Disziplinen umfassend nachgewiesen werden. Um beiden Herausforderungen zu begegnen, wurde ein Metadatenmanagementsystem entwickelt. Bereits bei der Konzeption dieses Systems wurde eine ORCID-Integration angestrebt, denn die UB sieht für beide genannten Herausforderungen die ORCID iD als Teil einer möglichen Lösung an. Die Ziele und die technische Umsetzung der Integration werden anhand der fünf Integrationsstufen, die ORCID bietet, vorgestellt.

Growing up from In-Betweeners: Alternatives to Hybridity in Social Entrepreneurship Research
Authors: Manfred Lehner Othmar , Weber Christiana
Published: June 2019

Social ventures (SVs) based on social entrepreneurship are often labeled in the literature as hybrids because of their inherent different institutional logics between social and commercial thinking. As one potential consequence, it is further argued that these not-yet institutionalized organizational forms lack legitimacy. In this conceptual paper, we articulate our concerns with this trend in social entrepreneurship research. We propose configuration theory as an alternative approach to move forward and argue that from a configurational lens such SVs can be identified as distinct, yet coherent configurations driven by their intrinsic and idiosyncratic value bundles and related value creation goals. We demonstrate how this helps overcome the raised concerns and contribute to the literature on social entrepreneurship and configuration theory.
A new representation of α-openness, α-continuity, α-irresoluteness, and α-compactness in L-fuzzy pretopological spaces

Published: June 2019

This paper presents a new representation of α-openness, α-continuity, α-irresoluteness, and α-compactness based on L-fuzzy α-open operators introduced by Nannan and Ruiying [1] and implication operation. The proposed representation extends the properties of α-openness, α-continuity, α-irresoluteness, and α-compactness to the setting of L-fuzzy pretopological spaces based on graded concepts. Moreover, we introduce and establish the relationships among the new concepts.

Spirituelle Bedürfnisse und Belastungserleben von Müttern mit Kindern mit Down-Syndrom
Authors: Büssing Arndt , Hippen Sophia , Eichhorn Julia , Baumann Klaus
Published: June 2019

Über die spirituellen Bedürfnisse von Müttern mit Kindern mit Down-Syndrom ist noch wenig bekannt. Ziel war es daher, ihre spirituellen Bedürfnisse und ihr Belastungserleben zu identifizieren und in Beziehung miteinander zu setzen. Dazu wurde eine anonyme Querschnittserhebung mit standardisierten Instrumenten unter 203 Müttern von Kindern mit Down-Syndrom in Deutschland durchgeführt. Es zeigte sich, dass bei nur moderat ausgeprägter Lebenszufriedenheit in der Gruppe viele das Gefühl haben, unter Druck zu stehen und im Alltag beeinträchtigt zu sein. Das Bedürfnis nach innerem Frieden und Generativität hatte für sie eine große Bedeutung, religiöse und existenzielle Bedürfnisse jedoch weniger. Empfundene Hoffnungslosigkeit und Trauer korrelierten stark mit existenziellen Bedürfnissen, das Gefühl unter Druck zu stehen und emotionale Müdigkeit stark mit dem Bedürfnis nach innerem Frieden. Religiöse Bedürfnisse korrelierten stark mit dem Gefühl, Stärke im Glauben an Gott zu haben. Da sich hier abzeichnet, dass ein Belastungserleben von eigentlich „zufriedenen“ Müttern mit der Ausprägung spiritueller Bedürfnisse assoziiert ist, ist eine weitergehende Unterstützung angezeigt.
Impulse zu Seelsorglicher Begleitung und Spiritual Care in der Behindertenhilfe
Authors: Merkens Martin
Published: June 2019

Seelsorgliche Begleitung ist offen für Spiritual Care. Ein inklusiver Ansatz wird dabei Menschen mit Behinderungen nicht mit besonderen, exklusiven Konzepten in den Blick nehmen, sondern von vornherein versuchen, der Vielfalt der Menschen unabhängig von Behinderungen und auch unabhängig von möglichen spirituellen Dispositionen gerecht zu werden. Überlegungen zu einer Verhältnisbestimmung von Kompetenz und Charisma führen zu einem Appell, beide Begriffe im Hinblick auf Handlungsvollzüge und Situationen in der seelsorglichen und spirituellen Begleitung zusammenzudenken. Ergänzend werden Impulse des Elementarisierungsansatzes nach Karl Ernst Nipkow und Friedrich Schweitzer und des Fähigkeitenansatzes von Martha Nussbaum auf die Thematik übertragen.
A systematic review on machine learning in sellar region diseases: quality and reporting items
Authors: Qiao Nidan
Published: June 2019

Introduction

Machine learning methods in sellar region diseases present a particular challenge because of the complexity and the necessity for reproducibility. This systematic review aims to compile the current literature on sellar region diseases that utilized machine learning methods and to propose a quality assessment tool and reporting checklist for future studies.

Methods

PubMed and Web of Science were searched to identify relevant studies. The quality assessment included five categories: unmet needs, reproducibility, robustness, generalizability and clinical significance.

Results

Seventeen studies were included with the diagnosis of general pituitary neoplasms, acromegaly, Cushing’s disease, craniopharyngioma and growth hormone deficiency. 87.5% of the studies arbitrarily chose one or two machine learning models. One study chose ensemble models, and one study compared several models. 43.8% of studies did not provide the platform for model training, and roughly half did not offer parameters or hyperparameters. 62.5% of the studies provided a valid method to avoid over-fitting, but only five reported variations in the validation statistics. Only one study validated the algorithm in a different external database. Four studies reported how to interpret the predictors, and most studies (68.8%) suggested possible clinical applications of the developed algorithm. The workflow of a machine-learning study and the recommended reporting items were also provided based on the results.

Conclusions

Machine learning methods were used to predict diagnosis and posttreatment outcomes in sellar region diseases. Though most studies had substantial unmet need and proposed possible clinical application, replicability, robustness and generalizability were major limits in current studies.
La necesidad de una ciudadanía cada vez más crítica en Costa Rica para el fortalecimiento de su democracia
Authors: Solís Vargas Yors Guillermo
Published: June 2019

El siguiente artículo pretende analizar de manera crítica el papel del ciudadano costarricense ante la democracia actual. Hoy, se puede decir que el panorama político del país ha estado alterado por la corrupción y la influencia del fenómeno conocido como posverdad, por lo que una ciudadanía cada vez más crítica para que pueda elegir con un proceder más informado y racional a sus gobernantes es una apuesta necesaria. ¿Cómo lograr esto? Desde el punto de vista del autor, a través de constantes observaciones a la política de ramo desde todos los ámbitos de la sociedad y, por otro, y más importante, con buena formación crítica desde tempranas edades. Para este análisis se van a revisar y discutir algunos textos periodísticos, jurídicos, educativos y filosóficos sobre el tema de la posverdad, la democracia y la educación costarricense. Al final, se concluirá con una reflexión en relación con el título de este escrito.

Gobernar es educar
Authors: Arias-Sánchez Oscar
Published: June 2019

La educación juega un papel fundamental en la reducción del enemigo más formidable de la paz, la democracia y el desarrollo humano: la pobreza. Es el instrumento catalizador de la participación constructiva en los procesos sociales y políticos de los sectores silenciados y marginados del desarrollo.La educación es particularmente importante en un mundo cada vez más globalizado, convirtiéndose en punto de partida y elemento clave para comprender el pluralismo de los estados y sus diferentes manifestaciones culturales, contribuyendo de esta manera, a la integración nacional y regional. La educación como responsabilidad de todos debe no solo fijarse como objetivo la capacitación y adiestramiento de las personas, sino también, educarlas, más con el ejemplo que con la prédica, en una serie de principios y valores.Concluye el autor puntualizando la importancia de que se asuma el hacer política como práctica pedagógica. El político debe ser un maestro capaz de generar conocimiento en sí mismo y en los pueblos y modelar en sus acciones los principios que defiende con sus palabras. Hacer política y gobernar es educar y educarse.
Palivizumab and Long-term Outcomes in Cystic Fibrosis
Authors: Fink Aliza K. , Graff Gavin , Byington Carrie L. , Loeffler Deena R. , Rosenfeld Margaret , Saiman Lisa
Published: June 2019

BACKGROUND:

The American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend routine use of palivizumab prophylaxis for infants with cystic fibrosis (CF) but recommends consideration in infants with clinical evidence of chronic lung disease or nutritional compromise. However, the beneficial impact of palivizumab on longer-term outcomes is uncertain.

METHODS:

We used Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry data to assess the association of receiving palivizumab during the first 2 years of life with longer-term outcomes, including lung function at 7 years old, time to first positive Pseudomonas respiratory culture, and pulmonary–related hospitalizations during the first 7 years of life. Eligible infants were born from 2008 to 2015 and diagnosed with CF during the first 6 months of life. Demographic and clinical confounders of association between palivizumab receipt and outcomes were explored. We created propensity scores to adjust for potential confounding by indication (ie, sicker infants were more likely to receive palivizumab). For each outcome, we performed regression analyses adjusted by propensity scores.

RESULTS:

The sample included 4267 infants; 1588 (37%) received palivizumab. Mean percent forced expiratory volume in 1 second predicted at 7 years old was similar among those who did (98.2; 95% confidence interval: 96.9–99.5) and did not (97.3; 95% confidence interval: 96.1–98.5) received palivizumab, adjusting for propensity scores. Time to first positive Pseudomonas aeruginosa culture and annual risk of hospitalization were similar among those who did and did not receive palivizumab.

CONCLUSIONS:

At the population level, palivizumab receipt was not associated with improved longer-term outcomes in children with CF.
