Performance e presentificação: sobre a forma artística/estética no instante
Authors: Lage Mariana
Published: August 2018

O artigo propõe pensar e problematizar características e implicações de uma estética do performativo a partir dos trabalhos de Erika Fischer-Lichte e Paul Zumthor, se debruçando, em especial, sobre a duração situacional da performance como poética artística e a evanescência de sua forma artística-estética, a qual se apresenta como contexto-dependente e contingente ao encontro com o público presente. Também levanta questões sobre a percepção da performance e sua presentificação, para, por fim, tecer comentários sobre crítica de arte de performances artísticas.
Entre O mito de Sísifo e Sambas do absurdo: a possibilidade de revelar o absurdo através do samba
Authors: Xavier Hoste Vinicius
Published: August 2018

O intento deste artigo é pensar a relação que o ensaio O mito de Sísifo – publicado em 1942 por Albert Camus – e o disco Sambas do Absurdo – lançado em 2017 pelo trio: Rodrigo Campos, Juçara Marçal e Gui Amabis – mantém com o absurdo. A fim de iluminar essa relação, buscaremos apresentar, em primeiro lugar, o que seria o absurdo para Camus; para isso, percorreremos, principalmente, o caminho traçado pelo autor em O mito de Sísifo. Em seguida, tentaremos mostrar como essa teoria do absurdo ecoa nas mais diversas camadas de Sambas do Absurdo. Por fim, gostaríamos ainda de ressaltar como o disco não é uma tentativa de “musicar a teoria”, quer dizer, ele não tenta simplesmente oferecer ao ouvinte um comentário, uma exegese da teoria do absurdo, ao invés disso, Sambas do Absurdo se afirma enquanto obra, construindo absurdos próprios.
A JUDICIALIZAÇÃO DAS POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS NO BRASIL SOB A PERSPECTIVA DA SEPARAÇÃO DE PODERES, RESERVA DO POSSÍVEL E DO MÍNIMO EXISTENCIAL
Authors: Couto Pablo Florentino Fróes
Published: August 2018

A revisão de literatura aborda as controvérsias que orbitam a judicialização da política. A atividade judicial vem avançando consideravelmente sobre a política e as relações sociais. Diante disso, o juiz se tornou mais próximo da sociedade. Esse protagonismo judicial é condição indispensável para a efetiva proteção dos direitos sociais, contribuindo, portanto, para a estabilidade da democracia. Contudo, a atuação do judiciário demanda dispêndio dos recursos públicos. A doutrina da reserva do possível, em contrapartida, entra nesse cenário como garantidor dos direitos fundamentais da coletividade.

Anomaly of Law Enforcement in Basuki Tjahaja Purnama Case
Authors: Ersya Muhammad Prima
Published: August 2018

The case of former Jakarta governor Basuki Tjahaya Purnama began when he spoke in Kepu-lauan Seribu on September 27, 2016, quoting a verse of the Holy Qur'an that was deemed to have no relevance to the purpose of his arrival which became the basis of the allegation on de-famation against religion as defined in Article 156a of the Criminal Code. As a follow-up of the case, the legal process for the report is conducted and immediately becomes the focus of community concentration. However, in the case of law enforcement process is considered to have some peculiarities and deviate from the principle or principle of criminal procedural law. This is what makes this case interesting to investigate further by using seve-ral instruments related legislation, such as Law No. 8 of 1981 About Criminal Procedure Law. The paper is discussed using the normative juridical approach that focuses on reviewing violations of the principle or principle of criminal procedural law in the law enforcement of religion defama-tion by Basuki Tjahaya Purnama. In the future it is hoped that the negligence of application of the principle or principle of criminal procedure does not happen again.

Keywords: defamation of religion, criminal procedural law, law enforcement

ABSTRAK

Kasus Mantan Gubernur DKI Jakarta Basuki Tjahaya Purnama diawali saat ia berbicara di Kepulauan Seribu pada tanggal 27 September 2016 dan mengutip salah satu ayat Kitab Suci Al Qur’an yang dianggap tidak memiliki relevansi dengan tujuan kedatangannya, sehingga hal tersebut dijadikan dasar laporan atas dugaan tindak pidana penistaan terhadap agama sebagaimana yang dirumuskan dalam Pasal 156a Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana. Sebagai bentuk tindak lanjut dari kasus tersebut, maka proses hukum untuk laporan tersebut dilakukan dan langsung menjadi fokus konsentrasi masyarakat. Namun dalam hal proses penegakan hukumnya dinilai memiliki beberapa ke-janggalan dan menyimpang dari asas atau prinsip hukum acara pidana. Hal inilah yang membuat kasus ini menarik untuk diteliti lebih lanjut dengan menggunakan beberapa instrumen peraturan perundang-undangan yang terkait, diantaranya adalah Undang-Undang Nomor 8 Tahun 1981 Tentang Hukum Acara Pidana. Pembahasan dalam tulisan ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode pendekatan yuridis normatif yang fokus menelaah pelanggaran terhadap asas atau prinsip hukum acara pidana di dalam penegakan hukum kasus penistaan agama oleh Basuki Tjahaya Purnama. Sehingga dikemudian hari diharapkan kelalaian penerapan asas atau prinsip hukum acara pidana tidak terulang lagi.

Student-Centered Learning Environment for Disaster-Mitigating Engineering Design and Deployment in Developing Regions
Authors: Gonzalez Erica Catherine , Heisman Evan Andrew , Lucko Gunnar
Published: August 2018

A comprehensive student-centered learning environment was created in a funded course sequence on disaster-mitigating design and practice at the UNIVERSITY NAME GOES HERE. It explored solutions for mitigating earthquake damages in developing regions, which suffer disproportionally high casualties. Undergraduate students were in charge from planning to implementation, including a critiqued literature review on socio-cultural environments and traditional technologies, evaluating low-cost damping systems in laboratory testing, preparing architectural designs per functional needs of its host community, performing structural calculations per the International Building Code, and coordinating its implementation. Faculty organized site visits and guest lectures and served as facilitators who contributed sessions on seismology, creativity, and entrepreneurship. Activities addressed accreditation outcomes, accommodated different learning styles, and were designed on Bloom’s taxonomy of educational objectives. Collaborating with local Engineers Without Borders chapters enabled two successful trips to a village of approximately 3,200 inhabitants located in rural El Salvador. The team assessed site conditions and built a new health clinic of reinforced masonry with concrete beams on rubber pad foundation dampers. The local community participated in planning and volunteered significant labor to “make the project their own.” Recommendations are presented on implementing learning experiences that groom globally aware and socially engaged young engineers.

Authors: Razavinia Nasim , Mydlarski Laurent
Published: August 2018

Abstract - Compliance with the Graduate Attributes and Continual Improvement criteria is an essential component of the accreditation of engineering programs in Canada. In response to this requirement, McGill University’s Faculty of Engineering established a centralized process in which 1) a uniform organizational structure was established, 2) a set of common graduate attribute indicators was developed, 3) the current Learning Management System (D2L) was integrated into the assessment of the graduate attributes, 4) universal indirect assessments for all programs were designed, 5) consistent data analysis and interpretation processes were implemented, and 6) standardized guidelines for continual improvement were created. The implementation of this process, its strengths, and recommendations to increase its efficiency and sustainability are discussed in this paper.
WHICH DESIGN METHODOLOGIES ARE EFFECTIVE TO SUPPORT A CAPSTONE PROJECT IN AEROSPACE DESIGN ENGINEERING?
Authors: Gutierrez Ronaldo , Liu Lixin , Singh Dalvir , Marsden Catharine , Zeng Yong
Published: August 2018

Abstract – Considering the challenges in the aerospace industry, the NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada) Chair in Aerospace Design Engineering (NCADE) has launched its own version of a final year undergraduate engineering capstone project at Concordia University. NCADE’s objective is to expose students to the immense complexity of an aircraft design, thereby better meeting the industry needs of newly graduated students. Four design methodologies (i.e., systems engineering – SE, quality function deployment – QFD, theory of inventive problem solving – TRIZ, and environment-based design – EBD) were evaluated in the context of the NCADE project to answer the research question such as "to what extent do these methodologies provide effective support across the activities in the capstone project?" The evaluation was subjective discussing whether the design methodologies support the activities in the project. From the evaluation, it can be concluded that the studied design methodologies perform poorly to support the activities in the capstone project. Therefore, future research should investigate a better support for the capstone project to achieve NCADE’s goals.
Integrating Mentorship in a Communication Capstone Class to Support the Development of a Community of Practice in the College of Engineering
Authors: Rolfes Debora , Hunchak Julie
Published: August 2018

Abstract – The Certificate in Professional Communication programme at the University of Saskatchewan concludes with a capstone class that requires students to design a mentorship project to solve a communication problem involving junior students. This course was designed to fulfill two objectives. First, the act of mentoring should reinforce the rhetorical theory and practice learned in the previous courses in the programme. Second, the act of mentoring should move the senior students from a position of novice to that of peer within a community of practitioners of effective rhetorical communication. If these two objectives are met, RCM 495 Rhetorical Peer Mentorship enables learning transfer from an academic setting to a professional environment.

DESIGN OF A CONSISTENT INTERDISCIPLINARY AND DUAL FACULTY CAPSTONE EXPERIENCE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA
Authors: DeGagne W.C.D. , Labossiere Paul E.
Published: August 2018

Abstract - One of the most effective and efficient ways for an engineering program to facilitate compliance with the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) accreditation criteria is through capstone design projects and courses, [1]. Currently, the University of Manitoba Faculty of Engineering has several capstone design courses; however, each is independently focused on its own respective discipline. The resulting educational experience for students, though rigorous and challenging, is maintained within the boundaries of the students’ engineering discipline, thereby neglecting to provide the opportunity for students to work with people from multiple disciplines and across different faculties. This style/mode of education, where students work in silos, arguably does not reflect real world engineering. Program representatives from the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Manitoba agree that the capstones should be more reflective of real life situations.

For this paper, we were hoping to present the research results of a pilot interdisciplinary capstone that was to be launch in the winter of 2017. Unfortunately, the pilot course was not offered because of low student enrollment. So we decided to take an innovative and creative approach to the research. Since, at the University of Manitoba, the Dean of Engineering is also the Dean of the Faculty of Architecture, rather than team with an outside industry focus group, we decided to develop a holistic course with the Faculty of Architecture. The Dean supports this strategy. Interdisciplinary courses are most important because they "…articulate the difference between educational problems and workplace problems" [2]. And allow "(students) persons from different disciplines to work collaboratively and are integrated to combine their knowledge to solve a problem"[3].

This paper explores and explains how that Engineering/Architecture Multidiscipline Capstone and Dual Faculty course will be developed, touches on the early stages of its initiation and implementation, and outlines how the success of the new course will be evaluated.
USING A PROJECT ON ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY TO TEACH CAD AND RAPID PROTOTYPING
Authors: Rismani Shalaleh , Ostafichuk Peter , Jaeger Carol , Nakane Jonathan
Published: August 2018

Abstract - This paper describes a novel approach used in a first year engineering at UBC to teach computer-aided design (CAD) and rapid prototyping as part of a real-world design project. It is centred on the design of an assistive technology device for a real client who is a quadriplegic and has limited use of his hands.  Notably, students were able to create their designs in CAD without receiving any formal instruction on the use of the tool. In addition to CAD and rapid prototyping,the project integrated elements of stakeholder engagement, design, decision-making, and communication. By the end of the three-week module, students submitted a technical memorandum recommending their design, and they were able to submit their CAD files for 3D printing and for entry into an inaugural assistive technology design competition.
A TALE OF TWO PEDAGOGICAL PERSPECTIVES: A LITERATURE REVIEW OF WRITING PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION WITHIN ENGINEERING PROGRAMS
Authors: Patterson Laura M.
Published: August 2018

Abstract –While communication and writing programs are typically housed in humanities-focused departments, engineering programs often employ full-time writing specialists to teach their students effective communication in engineering-specific contexts. However, bringing together humanities-focused writing instruction within a science-focused engineering program has some inherent complications in administering a program within a program.

The challenge of these writing programs is the misunderstanding that can arise between communication faculty and engineering faculty and administration. The opportunities and challenges embedded within communication and writing pedagogy is not always understood by the engineering-educated administrators, nor sold particularly well by the communication faculty. These challenges are made evident when we see that the modern conversation around engineering communication has morphed from convincing a composition audience to broaden their conception of writing for the unique writing needs of their engineering students, to a post-outcomes based world where engineering identity and culture are the center of curricular discussions aimed at fellow engineering educators.

While the complete history of writing program administration in engineering education is much longer, this literature review explores key works in the last 25 years to demonstrate themes in current curricular programming challenges in administering writing and communication programs within engineering departments in Canada and the United States.
DESCRIBING AND MEASURING THE ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE BASED USING CONCEPT DOMAINS
Authors: Grove Jason , Ioannidis Marios , Wright Derek
Published: August 2018

Abstract – We describe the chemical engineering knowledge base in terms of five distinct concept domains: i) mathematics and computation, ii) conservation, iii) equilibrium and spontaneity, iv) rates, and v) the structure and property of materials. These concept domains underpin the curriculum and evolve from disparate subject domains presented in the first year into a cohesive whole by graduation. The knowledge base for chemical engineering can thus be expressed in terms of achieving threshold concepts related to each of these domains.

This formulation of the knowledge base suggests that it may be examined using concept inventory testing. We provide examples of how such testing can be implemented in order to produce meaningful data on students’ level of concept attainment. We believe that this approach may be of interest to others as a robust and sustainable method for the ongoing assessment of CEAB Graduate Attribute 1.
OBACIS Phase III: Accreditation and Grading Sheets (AGSs) — The Excel-App
Authors: Ismail Mohamed A.
Published: August 2018

Abstract – In this paper, an Excel Add-in for automating grade recording and graduate attributes assessment at the course level is presented. Course learning outcomes, accreditation units (AU) input parameters and some other course-specific related data are documented as well. A set of student performance reports are generated and are utilized for closing the loop of the continuous improvement activities mandated by the new CEAB accreditation process. The add-in or the Xl-App is one of the three major constituents of the OBACIS framework. The other two are the Windows application or the Win-App; for accreditation administration operations and the web tool or the Web-App; for data compilation reporting process. The Win-App parse the data collected by the add-in (presumably collected via the Web-App as xlsx files or XML files) and integrate them with other program and faculty-level performance assessment and continuous improvement activities. In addition to the role for which it was created, the xl-App can emit the data collected to suit the learning management systems grade books and web marking systems.
The Elephant and the Mouse: making a large department feel small and a small department feel large
Authors: Trivett Andrew
Published: August 2018

Engineering Education in Canada is carried out at 44 currently accredited university programs.  Collectively, the system graduates more than 12,000 new engineers each year. One quarter of those students study at a large schools having more than 1000 students in each yearly cohort. Many more study in medium-sized classes having more than 300 students each year. There also campuses where an engineering class is fewer than 30 students. How does the student experience differ from the opposite ends of this size spectrum?
TEAMWORK FOR ENGINEERING STUDENTS: IMPROVING SKILLS THROUGH EXPERIENTIAL TEACHING MODULES
Authors: Al-Hammoud Rania , Hurst Ada , Prier Andrea , Mostafapour Mehrnaz , Rennick Chris , Hulls Carol , Jobidon Erin , Li Eugene , Grove Jason , Bedi Sanjeev
Published: August 2018

Abstract – Motivated by a perceived deficiency in teamwork skills of graduating engineering students, a series of six teamwork training modules are being designed for each of the students’ first six academic terms. A careful pilot-revise-implement design cycle has resulted in the development of a number of variations of each module, catering to different disciplines’ needs for integration with the curriculum.

The project is at its midpoint, having designed, delivered, and revised the first three modules: an introduction to teamwork, communication in teams, and team conflict. The fourth module - giving and receiving feedback in teams - was piloted in early 2017. The last two remaining modules are envisioned to cover teamwork topics at a more advanced level.

So far, all modules have been delivered in host courses with instructors receptive to the need for teamwork training. It is observed that the modules’ success and long term sustainability depend on their ability to easily integrate with or wrap around existing course activities.

Abstract –This paper explores the impact of incorporating discipline-specific content into a university pathways program designed for first-year engineering English language learners.  In an effort to increase feelings of connectedness and encourage the development of student identity for students who must complete the bridging program before beginning full-degree studies, a collaboration with First-Year Engineering, FIRST Lego League and the Engineering IDEAS Clinics began whereby students worked with instructors, professors, and students from the Engineering Faculty as part of their language courses.  Student motivation and sense of faculty connection increased through the integration of these discipline-specific assessments and activities, and, overall the students reflected positively on these experiences.
A STUDENT-DESIGNED LABORATORY COMPANION BOARD FOR A COURSE ON MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING AND EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
Authors: King David , Montgomery Brendan , Sippert Matt , Manjikian Naraig
Published: August 2018

Abstract – This paper describes the production and usage of a student-designed laboratory companion board for a core course on microprocessor interfacing and em-bedded systems in the Department of Electrical and Com-puter Engineering at Queen’s University. The companion board connects to existing digital-only hardware in order to provide analog-digital conversion and other features. The design and prototype implementation of the compan-ion board was pursued as a capstone design project by three students during the 2014-2015 academic session. The student designers had agreed from the outset to allow their intellectual property to be used for educational pur-poses. In mid-2015, a production run of 30 boards was completed. A total of more than 300 students then used the companion board in laboratory activity during the Fall 2015 and Fall 2016 terms. The introduction of this student-designed equipment into the laboratory has been a positive development that provides an example to stu-dents of how material learned in multiple courses can be integrated together to produce a valuable outcome.
INCREMENTAL IMPROVEMENT OF COURSE OUTCOMES THROUGH INTERIM COURSE EVALUATIONS
Authors: Ivkovic Igor
Published: August 2018

Abstract – With every new term, the method in which a course is delivered may need to be adjusted to reflect the changing needs of engineering students towards improving student engagement and learning. The information provided through standard end-of-the-term course evaluations is made available after the term is finished, so the instructors are unable to apply the feedback to the cohort that actually provided it. In this paper, we propose a method for incremental improvementof outcomes in engineering courses through the use of short, customizable, interim course evaluations that are coupled with short, in-class reflection sessions. The questions on the evaluations are related to the questions used on standard course evaluations, so that there is congruence between formative and summative instruments of feedback. The proposed method was applied on more than one occasion to improve student engagement, decrease failure rates, and align the learning objectives with students’ interest.
Using a Multidisciplinary Team-Based Challenge to Promote Brainstorming and Prototyping of Medical Devices
Authors: Swarup Arushri , Komisar Vicki , Bouwmeester J. Christopher
Published: August 2018

Abstract – Multidisciplinary teams of engineering and life science students are challenged to remove a foreign object from a child’s ear canal. Each group is provided with a model ear canal and asked to remove objects of different shapes and materials. The experience of iterative problem solving serves to encourage brainstorming and practice the prototyping process, which each team should complete in their over-arching design projects to be successful. Surveys taken from the students before and after the prototype challenge showed they learned more about the brainstorming method they used, but also learned what worked well for other groups. Student feedback indicates that this activity prepared them to be creative and tackle the larger challenge of developing a solution to their own design project as part of the Biomedical Engineering Capstone Design course.
ENHANCING CO-OP AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES THROUGH A STUDENT-DRIVEN MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
Authors: MacKenzie Allan , Geng Fei
Published: August 2018

Abstract – McMaster’s University Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) Program has a mandatory 12-month cooperative (co-op) work experience as part of its academic requirements for graduation. To assist students in attaining co-op opportunities they must enroll in a career development credit course to equip them with vital knowledge and tools necessary to obtain and retain co-op work experiences. Students also receive ongoing support and guidance from Engineering Co-op & Career Services (ECCS) department, which connects students with employers and provides individual career counselling services. Despite this training and the availability of services, many students struggle to obtain workplace co-ops. In response the School of Engineering Practice and Technology (SEPT) implemented an undergraduate career peer co-op mentoring program as a further support mechanism to engage and motivate students. A pilot mentorship program was launched in 2014-15 for a select group of students and based on the positive response; an ongoing program was adopted and has run for the last two years. The program is formal in nature with a senior student mentor randomly matched with approximately 10-12 junior students as their mentees. To date, the program has impacted 362 second-year students (the mentees) and 36 senior students (the mentors). For the purposes of knowledge sharing, the paper will discuss the benefits of peer mentoring, the design and structure of the SEPT undergraduate career co-op peer mentoring program, feedback from participants, along with lessons learned from the outcomes of the last three years.

Authors: Moozeh Kimia , Tihanyi Deborah , Farmer Jennifer , Evans Greg
Published: August 2018

Abstract –The paper presents student perceptions about learning objectives of laboratories. Three focus group sessions were conducted with chemical engineering undergraduate students at UofT as part of a larger project to enhance the learning outcomes of laboratories.

In this study, thirteen laboratory learning objectives developed at the ABET colloquy in 2002, were used as a framework to determine the strengths and limitations of the laboratories. These learning objectives cover cognition, psychomotor and affective domains of knowledge.

The results indicate that improvements are needed with respect to providing opportunities for students to be creative, devise their own procedures, repeat experiments and improve communication skills. In addition, ethics in the lab and safety need more emphasis.

UMA ORDEM ECONÔMICA JUSTA E EQUILIBRADA: O ATIVISMO JUDICIAL EM PROL DA VALORIZAÇÃO DO TRABALHO HUMANO
Authors: De Lima Gabriela Eulalio , Oliveira Lourival José de
Published: August 2018

Partindo do prisma kantiano que revela a pessoa humana como um valor absoluto e insuscetível de coisificação, a pesquisa dedicou ao estudo da valorização do trabalho humano como um dos fundamentos da ordem econômica constitucional, tomando por base o método dedutivo de análise – com levantamento bibliográfico multidisciplinar. Apontou-se também a nova dinâmica apresentada pelo constituinte de 1988, que estabeleceu um sistema capitalista desmaterializado do conceito puro, apontando uma lógica existencial da ação estatal efetiva, mirando assegurar a concretização dos direitos e garantias fundamentais, demandando do operador do Direito uma interpretação refinada no mesmo compasso das prioridades finalísticas estabelecidas na norma; a partir dessa primeira percepção é que surge o ativismo judicial, como o fenômeno jurídico disponível, usado para propor efetividade na revelação da valorização do trabalho humano na ordem econômica, assegurando à norma constitucional a eficácia apresentada pelo constituinte, rematando um cenário econômico justo, equilibrado e desenvolvido em consonância com a ordem social.
Student-contributed podcasts to support transition to higher education
Authors: Edirisingha Palitha , Cane Robert , Jiang Mengjie , Cane Chris
Published: August 2018

Studies of undergraduates’ satisfaction, academic performance and retention in Higher Education (HE) identify the critical importance of the first year for shaping their attitudes and approaches to learning. Positive transition into HE has a direct impact on students’ later learning experience, particularly during their first year. Most interventions to support transitions are based on institution-driven approaches such as courses on learning and study skills. Here we describe how podcasting can be used to developing a new approach to support transition by tapping the knowledge and experience of current undergraduates.
Games as Education in the United Kingdom
Authors: Harvey Alison
Published: August 2018

Digital game studies and design have rapidly become popular teaching areas in the United Kingdom. They also have a long history as tools for education in a range of disciplines through game-based learning. This project sought to inform teaching and learning within the College of Social Sciences, Arts, and Humanities, the College of Science and Engineering, and the College of Medicine, Biological Sciences and Psychology through an exploration of the challenges, practices, and feedback of instructors and instructional designers on teaching with, through and on digital games. A workshop was held in the School of Media, Communication, and Sociology in May 2016 to understand emerging challenges and opportunities related to games-based teaching practice, innovations in assessment, available and needed resources for teaching, and game-based curricula. Participants included staff across the University of Leicester using digital games for learning and assessment as well as digital game studies and design instructors across the United Kingdom. Through collaborative discussion and workshopping of best practices related to teaching with games, this workshop generated a sharable portfolio of materials. It also provided insight into several possibilities for integrating this media form into higher education as well as significant challenges to consider moving forward, which are reported on here.
Critical reflections on staff-student partnership and ‘re-interpreting’ journal submissions
Authors: Cork Lorna Mary
Published: August 2018

This thoughtpiece shares some personal reflections on a distinctively different approach to student-staff collaboration, whereby students ‘re-interpret’ scholarly submissions to this new HE journal for a wider audience. Student and staff motivations for becoming involved in this work of partnering are examined, and values and ‘intrigue’ are uncovered as contributing to partnership-readiness and sustaining interest. Students engaged critically with Higher Education policy and theory; particularly the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) and the concept of a ladder of partnership. The collaboration offers different conceptual lenses, revealing possibilities for the co-creation of a student-staff scholarly community. Student reflections reveal digital literacies for producing re-interpretations and the ‘softer’ skills for collaborating in diverse groups.  However, the key appeal of getting involved is not, as may be assumed, for benefits such as employability, it is the opportunity of collaborating across disciplines and as an equal partner with staff,  where their voices contribute to real debates about teaching and learning in HE.
Democracy, Human Rights, and Islamic Family Law in Post-Soeharto Indonesia
Authors: Cammack Mark , Bedner Adriaan , Huis Stijn Van
Published: August 2018

This article examines the developments in Indonesian family law in the aftermath of the political transition that occurred in 1998. Its focus is on the position of the Islamic courts and the role of the women’s movement as a driver of reform. Combining literature on gender, Islam, and the state in Indonesia with new material such as divorce rates, cases of the Constitutional Court, and law reform initiatives, the authors argue that the family law reform processes already underway before 1998 have not changed much and have continued to lead to more state control of Islamic family law. Yet, even though the reforms since 1998 have not directly targeted family law, they have unleashed processes of liberalization, democratization and decentralization that have emboldened Indonesian women in the exercise of their rights and have invigorated debates over further reform.

Beton adalah material komposit (gabungan) dari partikel-partikel agregat yang saling mengikat menjadi suatu badan atau bagian yang solid dengan ikatan dari material semen. Beton juga dikenal dengan material dengan kekuatan tekan yang memadai, mudah dibentuk, mudah diproduksi secara local, relative kaku, dan ekonomis. Namun di sisi lain, beton juga menunjukan banyak keterbataan baik dalam proses produksi maupun sifat-sifat mekaniknya, sehingga beton pada umumnya hanya digunakan untuk konstruksi dengan ukuran kecil dan menengah.Abu sekam padi dihasilkan dari pembakaran sekam padi. Belakangan ini banyak peneliti yang memanfaatkan abu sekam padi dalam suatu bahan seperti pembuatan keramik, pembuatan batu bata, dan lain-lain.Penggunaan tulang hewan dalam penelitian kami adalah sebagai penambahan agregat kasar dalam pembuatan beton. Hal ini dikarenakan jumlah limbah tulang hewan di Indonesia yang sangat banyak dan belum termanfaatkan secara menyeluruh, Dengan beton mutu tinggi dimensi dari struktur dapat diperkecil sehingga berat struktur menjadi ringan. Hal tersebut menyebabkan beban yang diterima pondasi secara keseluruhan menjadi lebih kecil pula. Jika ditinjau dari segi ekonomi hal tersebut tentu akan lebih menguntungkan. Beton mutu tinggi dapat diartikan sebagai beton yang berorientasi pada kekuatan yang tinggi (high strength concrete) yang mempertimbangkan keawetan (durability) beton serta kemudahan pengerjaan beton (work-ability). Kata Kunci  ;   Beton Komposit , Abu Sekam, Penggunaan Tulang dan Beton Mutu Tinggi

El objetivo del estudio fue describir características clínicas, sociodemográficas y hábitos en adultos con diabetes mellitus y estudiar su asociación con la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud. Se seleccionó una muestra de 311 pacientes del Programa de Diabetes de una obra social universitaria, de la provincia de Córdoba. Se analizaron los datos a como proporciones y los componentes físico y mental del cuestionario SF-36® . El 57,4% alcanzó un nivel de instrucción terciario o universitario. La hipertensión arterial fue el factor de riesgo cardiovascular más prevalente (86,8%), seguida por dislipemia (50,6%) y obesidad (46,5%). El 24,8% tenía complicación macrovascular y el 29% microvascular. En el componente físico (CF) de calidad de vida las mujeres tuvieron una chance 4,2 veces mayor de reportar un valor inferior en relación a los varones. Entre los 50 y los 70 años se triplicó y los mayores de  70 años tuvieron 4 veces peor una puntuación en el CF respecto a los más jóvenes. Las complicaciones macro y microvasculares y los que reportaron menos de 2 hábitos de vida saludables tuvieron el doble de chances de puntuar por debajo del promedio general en el CF. La asociación entre complicaciones y peor calidad de vida es un motivo más para alcanzar un buen control metabólico, optimizar el manejo de factores de riesgo, evitando o retrasando la aparición de complicaciones.

Objetivo: evaluar el impacto de los contaminantes atmosféricos y el clima en el número de consultas al departamento de emergencias de un hospital pediátrico en Buenos Aires, Argentina. Material y métodos: estudio ecológico utilizando análisis de series temporales con modelos aditivos generalizados (GAM) para el período 2012-2014, analizando cantidad diaria de consultas en función de tres contaminantes del aire: monóxido de carbono (CO), dióxido de nitrógeno (NO2) y material particulado de diámetro menor a 10 micrones (PM10), temperatura diaria, humedad relativa, dirección y velocidad del viento y lluvia, controlando por día de la semana y tendencia de largo plazo. Resultados: las consultas en invierno (286 diarias) fueron significativamente mayores que en las demás estaciones (p<0.0001). La variación en el nivel de contaminación del aire no mostró correlación significativa y consistente con las consultas. La temperatura, humedad relativa, lluvia y viento no resultaron significativas en ninguno de los rezagos analizados. Conclusiones: en esta población y considerando las consultas de emergencia, la contaminación del aire no afecta significativamente el resultado en salud, pero sí lo hacen las epidemias estacionales. Estudios sobre otras variables de salud son necesarios para establecer el impacto de la contaminación del aire sobre la salud infantil en Buenos Aires.
