Ο κοινωνικός μας εαυτός, η οικογένεια και οι κοινωνικές στάσεις την περίοδο των περιορισμών της πανδημίας του Covid - 19 το 2020
Authors: Chtouris Sotiris , Zissi Anastasia
Published: June 2020

Η σημερινή υγειονομική κρίση από την πανδημία του Covid-19 είναι η αρχή αλλά και το αποτέλεσμα μιας παράλληλης κοινωνικής και οικονομικής κρίσης. Σε αυτό το δυναμικό πεδίο, η αντιμετώπιση της κρίσης προϋποθέτει κοινωνικούς θεσμούς και κοινωνικά υποκείμενα ανθεκτικά αλλά και ικανά να αντιμετωπίσουν με δημιουργική αλληλεγγύη τις αρνητικές επιδράσεις της πανδημίας και, ειδικότερα, την εκτεταμένη κοινωνική ατροφία (social atrophy) και την κοινωνική ενδόρρηξη (social implosion). H μελέτη του κοινωνικού εαυτού και οι μέθοδοι ανάταξής του από το κοινωνικό τραύμα, που προκύπτει στις συνθήκες της σημερινής πανδημίας του Covid-19, προϋποθέτει την κατανόηση της λειτουργίας του, όχι μόνο στις σημερινές συνθήκες της κρίσης αλλά και σε αυτές της προτέρας κατάστασης στην οποία ο σύγχρονος κοινωνικός εαυτός χαρακτηρίζεται από μία έκρηξη της πυκνότητας και ισχυρής έντασης δικτύων της επικοινωνίας, της οικονομικής ανταλλαγής και της κοινωνικής καθημερινότητας. Το παρόν κείμενο έχει ως στόχο να προσφέρει ένα σχέδιο επαναλαμβανόμενης ταχείας έρευνας για τις καταστάσεις αναστοχασμού, ανάταξης και ανθεκτικότητας του κοινωνικού μας εαυτού σε συνθήκες ισχυρής κοινωνικής απόστασης, αυτοπεριορισμού και αποσύνδεσης από την οικονομία. To κείμενο ολοκληρώνεται με σκέψεις για την ανάγκη σχεδιασμού ενός πρωτόκολλου εφαρμογής και έρευνας δράσης της κλινικής κοινωνιολογίας με θέμα τη διασφάλιση της αντοχής των ατόμων και των κοινωνιών που έχουν υποστεί τις αρνητικές συνέπειες της κοινωνικής ενδόρρηξης λόγω της πανδημίας και κάποιες προτάσεις για μια ατομική και συλλογική στρατηγική.
Prevalence of Alzheimer's disease according to anticholinesterase drug usage from 2012 to 2017 in the state of Paraná, Brazil
Authors: Cambruzzi Mendes Dayanna Hartmann , Renee Hilgemberg Glaucia , Silva Posseti Flavio , Wouk Jéssica , Carraro Emerson
Published: June 2020

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a public health problem in Brazil due to the growing number of older adults in this population. Knowing the prevalence of AD in the Paraná state is essential to improve patients’ quality of life. The objective of the study was to estimate AD prevalence in the state of Paraná, based on the prescription of anticholinesterases, from 2012 to 2017.

Methods: Patients diagnosed with AD, aged 60 years or over, who used Brazil’s Unified Public Health System (SUS) and received AD medication from the Department of Pharmaceutical Assistance of the state of Paraná, from 2012 to 2017, were the target population of the present study. The medication data were collected from the Computerized system management and Monitoring of Exceptional Drugs (SISMEDEX), and the population’s data were collected from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE).

Results: The sample consisted of 52,687 patients, and the median prevalence of AD in the established period for the state was 642.6/100,000 inhabitants (0.64%). In all ages and macro-regions, women showed the highest prevalence rates. The median prevalence for women in the established period was 755.4/100,000 inhabitants (0.75%). Among men, the median prevalence was 510.2/100,000 inhabitants (0.51%). In the temporal analysis of prevalence, between 2012 and 2017, a reduction of 23% was found in the state rate. The prevalence rate of Paraná for AD is nine times lower than the Brazilian average.

Conclusions: Paraná’s prevalence rate for AD is lower than the rates of Brazil and the world, suggesting that AD is underdiagnosed in most municipalities of this state.
Cross-Regional Differences in News Tone and Local Stock Ownership
Authors: Mavruk Taylan
Published: June 2020

This study examines cross-regional differences in news tone for the same news event and relates it to local stock ownership of individual investors using a combination of detailed investor and media data. The results show that news tone amplifies the overall attention effect and decreases the difference between the trading activities of local and nonlocal investors when locally sourced news is republished across regions. In general, trading activity decreases for given republished news, but it still exists because the same news event garners attention as it diffuses to other regional outlets in a different news tone. Overall, individual investors seem to realize that the news is stale but expect subsequent price reversals following the republished news, thus showing news-contrarian trading behavior. Furthermore, they distinguish good firms from bad firms, indicating that adverse selection is partially responsible for the observed news-contrarian trading behaviors.

An evaluation of opioid use during acute hospital admissions
Authors: Blackburn Alison
Published: June 2020

Long-term opioid use can begin with the treatment of acute pain. However, there is little evidence concerning the impact that better opioid awareness in the acute phase may have on reducing the use of opioids in the long term. This project explored which opioids are routinely prescribed within an acute hospital setting and how these opioids were used over the course of the hospital stay. Codeine and morphine remain the most commonly prescribed opioids. Opioids were prescribed and given to people across the age range, from 16 to 98 years. The project found that 19% of patients were admitted with a pre-existing opioid. Up to 66% of patients were discharged with opioid medication, with almost 20% leaving with more than one opioid. Regular opioid use routinely exposes patients to long-term opioid use and those patients initiated onto opioid medication during admission should have the benefit of planned de-escalation before discharge.

Intertrigo: causes, prevention and management
Authors: Voegeli David
Published: June 2020

Intertrigo, also known as intertriginous dermatitis, is one of the four separate conditions that fall under the umbrella term of moisture-associated skin damage (MASD). It can affect individuals of all ages. Intertrigo is a common inflammatory skin disorder caused by skin-on-skin friction within skin folds, as a result of moisture becoming trapped because of poor air circulation. It can occur in any area of the body where two skin surfaces are in close contact with each other, such as the axillary, inframammary, umbilical and inguinal areas, and is strongly associated with obesity. Consensus clinical expert opinion suggests that investment in the development and adoption of clear skin care and skin fold management protocols can lead to improvements in the patient experience and better clinical outcomes.
Relaxation Modeling of PEO-b-PCL and its Component Polymers with PVPh at the Air/Water Interface
Authors: Pan Hui-Ting , Hsu Wen-Ping
Published: June 2020

The objective of this research was to find out the effects of structure of polyethylene oxide-block-polycaprolactone (PEO-b-PCL) and its component polymers and temperature on the iso-baric relaxation behaviors of mixed monolayers with poly(vinyl phenol). Iso-baric relaxation experiments of mixed monolayers at the air/water interface were investigated at different temperatures (10˚C, 25˚C and 40˚C). It was shown that most of the area relaxation process of mixed monolayers could be well represented by a model considering the nucleation and growth mechanisms. The characteristic exponent x values were found to be slightly temperature dependent. The kx values were detected to decrease with increasing temperature. When PVPh was added into the most unstable PEO, the mixed monolayer films exhibited a remarkably improved stable relaxation behavior than PCL( or PEO-b-PCL ). The stabilization behavior was likely caused by the PVPh-H2O-PEO interaction. There were likely less PVPh-H2O-PCL interaction since PCL interacted with PVPh favorably.
Design and Modelling of a 90-Degree Ball Valve with a Linear Pressure Drop
Authors: Gutierrez Daniel A. , Garcia-Bravo Jose M. , Reid Aaron L. , Newell Brittany A. , McPherson Paul , French Mark
Published: June 2020

Globe valves also known as ball or gate valves are used to control fluid flow in a vast number of applications. Most of the existing applications use them because of their simplicity and very low cost. However, these valves are known for their poor precision for controlling the flow and the lack of electromechanical means for their actuation. Moreover, because of their low linearity their use in closed loop control applications make them nearly unusable. The goal of this research project was to investigate means for redesigning the metering area of a ball valve in such a manner that the pressure vs. flow characteristic would be close to a linear trend. Two different profiles where designed and tested experimentally and modelled using CFD techniques for the estimation of their valve flow coefficients. The model was able to accurately predict the behaviour of the valve with less than a 10% error when fully open. The model can be used for scaling the size of the ball for larger applications and for tuning controlling strategies for flow dispensation in real life applications.
Paradigmatic saboteurs: Eriksonian psychohistory and its vicissitudes
Authors: Jacobsen Kurt
Published: June 2020

This article revisits and re-evaluates the Eriksonian branch of psychohistorians, whose influence peaked in the early 1970s before seemingly and perhaps unjustly falling out of sight. Why? Should we abandon these scholars altogether, as many have, and start over with a primarily British discipline called psychosocial studies? Or is there and should there be a bridge worth the trouble of crossing between the American psychohistorians and psychosocial studies today?
Political identity, gender identity or both? The political effects of sexual orientation and gender identity items in survey research
Authors: Cassino Dan , Besen-Cassino Yasemin
Published: June 2020

Issues arising from the measurement of gender identity on surveys have received scant attention from survey methodologists. We make use of three studies (two in the US and one in Mexico) to look at the effects of asking about gender identity on downstream measurements of political party affiliation. In all three studies, we show a significant impact of priming respondents to think about gender identity on expressed political identity. In two of the studies, we also find conditional effects based on the predispositions of respondents, and we find throughout that these effects are much stronger for men than for women.

Multimodal laser-scanning nonlinear optical microscope with a rapid broadband Fourier-transform coherent Raman modality
Authors: Sinjab Faris , Hashimoto Kazuki , Badarla Venkata Ramaiah , Omachi Junko , Ideguchi Takuro
Published: June 2020

Nonlinear optical microscopy allows for rapid high-resolution microscopy with image contrast generated from the intrinsic properties of the sample. Established modalities, such as multiphoton excited fluorescence and second/third-harmonic generation, can be combined with other nonlinear techniques, such as coherent Raman spectroscopy, which typically allow chemical imaging of a single resonant vibrational mode of a sample. Here, we utilize a single ultrafast laser source to obtain broadband coherent Raman spectra on a microscope, together with other nonlinear microscopy approaches on the same instrument. We demonstrate that the coherent Raman modality allows broadband measurement (>1000 cm−1), with high spectral resolution (<5 cm−1), with a rapid spectral acquisition rate (3-12 kHz). This enables Raman hyperspectral imaging of kilo-pixel images at >11 frames per second.

This paper presents three-photon absorption (3PA) measurement results
for nine direct-gap semiconductors, including full 3PA spectra for
ZnSe, ZnS, and GaAs. These results, along with our theory of 3PA using
an eight-band Kane model (four bands with double spin degeneracy),
help to explain the significant disagreements between experiments and
theory in the literature to date. 3PA in the eight-band model exhibits
quantum interference between the various possible pathways that is not
observed in previous two-band theories. We present measurements of
degenerate 3PA coefficients in InSb, GaAs, CdTe, CdSe, ZnTe, CdS,
ZnSe, ZnO, and ZnS. We examine bandgap,

dependence; however, for those
semiconductors for which we measured full 3PA spectra, we observe
significant discrepancies with both two-band theories. On the other
hand, our eight-band model shows excellent agreement with the spectral
data. We then use our eight-band theory to predict the 3PA spectra for
15 different semiconductors in their zinc-blende form. These results
allow prediction and interpretation of the 3PA coefficients for
various narrow to wide bandgap semiconductors.
Saturable and reverse saturable absorption in molybdenum disulfide dispersion and film by defect engineering
Authors: Lu Chunhui , Xuan Hongwen , Zhou Yixuan , Xu Xinlong , Zhao Qiyi , Bai Jintao
Published: June 2020

Understanding and controlling defect in two-dimensional materials is important for both linear and nonlinear optoelectronic devices, especially in terms of tuning nonlinear optical absorption. Taking advantage of an atomic defect formed easily by smaller size, molybdenum disulfide nanosheet is prepared successfully with a different size by gradient centrifugation. Interestingly, size-dependent sulfur vacancies are observed by high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The defect effect on nonlinear absorption is investigated by Z-scan measurement at the wavelength of 800 nm. The results suggest the transition from saturable absorption to reverse saturable absorption can be observed in both dispersions and films. First principle calculations suggest that sulfur vacancies act as the trap state to capture the excited electrons. Moreover, an energy-level model with the trap state is put forward to explain the role of the sulfur vacancy defect in nonlinear optical absorption. The results suggest that saturable absorption and reverse saturable absorption originate from the competition between the excited, defect state and ground state absorption. Our finding provides a way to tune the nonlinear optical performance of optoelectronic devices by defect engineering.
A review of the One Health concept and its application as a tool for policy-makers
Authors: de Macedo Couto Rodrigo , Brandespim Danie Friguglietti
Published: June 2020

The One Health concept represents the inseparability of human, animal, and environmental health through a unified view of health care. This article addressed the topic of public health policies from the One Health perspective, demonstrating its inclusion in various health agendas such as emerging and reemerging infectious diseases, basic sanitation, mental health, chronic non-communicable diseases, interpersonal violence, and food safety. The results showed that the application of the One Health concept to the development and implementation of policies is associated with a growing need to involve transdisciplinary teams for solving complex problems to improve communication and to ensure the relevance and acceptability of public policies, thus guaranteeing governance. According to the principle of efficiency, the government must be aware of the evolution of technical knowledge and should use the One Health approach to improve the efficacy of already existing systems. We, therefore, conducted this review to contextualize current knowledge in this topic which is becoming an essential tool for public health policy-makers and practitioners around the world promoting a reflection on the importance of multiprofessional articulation in the implementation of intersectoral public health policies.
Development & Validation of the 5X2 Backward Planning Model for Faculty Development
Authors: Ahmed samar , Younas Ayesha , Salem Urooj , Mashood Shama
Published: June 2020

Faculty are considered to be the backbone of any institute and their training and development are necessary for progressive growth of an educational organization. This necessity has been the focus of a lot of medical education research, resulting in a number of faculty development models concentrating on the methodology of program planning and implementation. Such models are mostly linear considering faculty development to be a onetime measure. However, there exists a clear distinction between faculty development and faculty training and in its true sense faculty development should emphasize on individual faculty growth over the long term synonymously with direct short-term goals related to faculty work. This idea encouraged us to develop a new model for FD to reinvent the way we approach faculty development and consider FD as a continuous cyclical process, rather than just a linear model. We conducted a qualitative study based on phenomenological observations, leading to the development of the 5x2 backward planning model. The model essentially consists of the following interchangeable stages; Decide stage (focused on decisions related to the context of the program and the kind of faculty attending it) Define stage( concerned with defining the needs of the program and its objectives); Design stage (concentrates on design of the material and the methods of delivery for the identified objectives); Direct stage ( directing both the learning and development of faculty and establishing a community of practice) lastly, the Dissect stage (focusing on scrutinizing the fulfillment of the objectives and the developmental KPIs.)

Authors: seddeg yasser , Elbadawi Kamalelden
Published: June 2020

Background: Anterior clinoid process is usually drilled in order to approach cavernous sinus and related structures in neurosurgical operations. The presence of carotico-clinoid foramen and interclinoid osseous bridge create difficulties while approaching anterior clinoid process and increases the risks of injury to the internal carotid artery and nearby structures.

Aim: To observe incidence, anatomy of carotico-clinoid foramen and interclinoid osseous bridge in the Sudanese dry skulls.

Methods: This was a cross sectional study,
conducted in the departments of anatomy in different medical schools in Sudan between the period from June 2019 to January 2020. Total 30 dry adult human skulls were examined to observe incidence of carotico-clinoid foramen and of interclinoid osseous bridge.

Result: The incidence of carotico-clinoid foramen was
13.3% (4 skulls out of 30). The foramen was bilaterally present in one skull (n=1/30, 3.3%) and unilateral in 3 skulls (n=3/30, 10%). Type I bridge is the carotico-clinoid foramen itself, the Type II interclinoid osseous bridge was found in one skull (n=1/30, 3.3%) , no Type III and Type IV bridges were observed in the present study.

Conclusion: the presence of this foramen and interclinoid osseous bridge can complicate neurosurgical operations in cavernous sinus, sellar and para-sellar regions. Therefore, the detailed anatomical knowledge is very important to decrease complications and to increase success rates of neurosurgical operations in this area.

Autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), are risk factors for thrombotic events. Understanding the pathogenetic role of hemostatic changes in RA can assist in developing measures for prevention, prognosis, early diagnosis, and treatment of immune thromboses. Objective: to investigate the state of platelet and plasma hemostasis in patients with RA, as compared to other laboratory parameters and clinical manifestations of the disease. Subjects and methods. Hemostasis was investigated using two relatively new laboratory tests: thrombodynamics and kinetics of blood clot contraction (BCC). Examinations were made in 60 patients with RA and in 50 apparently healthy individuals of the control group. Results and discussion. In patients with RA, the parameters of thrombodynamics and BCC were found to be significantly different from the normal values. According to thrombodynamics, there was an increase in plasma clot growth rate, size, and density, which indicates chronic hypercoagulation. The rate and completeness of BCC were substantially reduced due to platelet dysfunction in patients with RA compared to healthy individuals. The changes in the parameters of thrombodynamics and BCC correlated with the laboratory signs of systemic inflammation and depended on the radiographic stage of the disease. Conclusion. The results of this investigation confirm that hemostatic disorders are present in RA and indicate the informative value of thrombodynamics and BCC tests as indicators of a pre-thrombotic state, including autoimmune pathology.
LIMITED JOINT MOBILITY SYNDROME IN DIABETES MELLITUS
Authors: Panevin T. S. , Alekseeva L. I. , Melnichenko G. A.
Published: June 2020

Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) often show changes in the locomotor apparatus (LMA), in particular cheiroarthropathy, a specific lesion of the connective tissue structures of the hand in the presence of persistent hyperglycemia, which leads to limited joint mobility (LJM) generally in the absence of pain syndrome. Some authors use the term «LJM syndrome» to describe LMA lesion in DM, since in the long course of the disease, the small and large joints of not only the upper, but also the lower limbs are involved in the pathological process. LJM is one of the little studied and poorly diagnosed conditions in comparison with traditional micro- and macro-vascular complications of DM, which, due to their direct correlation with life expectancy, receive more attention. The LJM syndrome is associated with other late complications of DM and can significantly impair functional activity, self-care, and quality of life. Damages to periarticular tissue and joints in DM are believed to be caused by the accumulation of glycation end products. A clinical examination plays a key role in the diagnosis of cheiroarthropathy.

Published: June 2020

In addition to damage to the spine and joints in ankylosing spondylitis (AS), as in other diseases from a group of spondyloarthritides (SpA), there can be the following extra-articular manifestations: inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), uveitis, psoriasis, and kidney and heart diseases. In the last decade, much attention has been paid to the association between SpA and IBD; the common pathogenetic mechanisms of these diseases have been identified. The relationship between inflammation and blood coagulation has been known since ancient times, and its evidence base is constantly expanding. Both of these processes are accompanied by platelet activation and fibrin formation. The authors present a clinical case of a female patient with the comorbidity of AS with IBD and iliocaval thrombosis.
El potencial de las emociones en el estudio de los movimientos migratorios
Authors: López Fernández Rosalía
Published: June 2020

A partir de una serie de historias de vida de mujeres migrantes empleadas de hogar, este texto se orienta a investigar el potencial que tienen las emociones para el estudio de los procesos migratorios. En concreto, se analizarán los registros emocionales surgidos en las interacciones que se producen en el contexto del trabajo en el servicio doméstico y para ello se empleará el modelo de la teoría sociorrelacional de Kemper sobre la distribución de poder-estatus. Este análisis permitirá observar que el ámbito del empleo de hogar se configura como un entorno altamente jerarquizado y generizado en el que las diferencias de poder y estatus entre las empleadas de hogar y los empleadores se producen a través de procesos de vulnerización, etnificación e inferiorización de las mujeres migrantes. A modo de reflexión final, se señalará el potencial que el estudio de las emociones ofrece para la comprensión de los fenómenos migratorios en tanto que la dimensión emocional es un componente esencial de los fenómenos sociales.

Infancia múltiple en Colombia: niñez en contextos de conflicto por recursos naturales
Authors: García Ortiz Doris Lised
Published: June 2020

Los discursos sobre la infancia en Colombia contrastan con las realidades contextuales en las que viven muchos niños y niñas; a los problemas históricos de exclusión social y conflicto interno armado, que afectaron el desarrollo de la niñez en varias regiones, se suman hoy los problemas presentes en los territorios, por los recursos naturales de reciente explotación, en el marco del plan de desarrollo nacional que apuntaló la economía hacia un enfoque extractivista. La duda con la que arrancó este ejercicio de reflexión fue: ¿Cómo puede tener relación el ejercicio pleno de su derecho al desarrollo de los niños y niñas con la situación actual de conflictividad nacional y regional por el modelo extractivista de desarrollo nacional? Se continuo con un ejercicio de rastreo documental y observación participante en algunos de los lugares donde se presenta la problemática y del cuál el siguiente texto es el resultado de reflexión inicial.
Nuevas perspectivas en psicología del desarrollo: una aproximación crítica al pensamiento piagetiano
Authors: Benavides Delgado Jacqueline
Published: June 2020

Jean Piaget (1896-1980)  ha sido uno de los autores más reconocidos del siglo XX por sus estudios en el campo de la  inteligencia. Este autor suizo consideró el desarrollo como una secuencia de estadios definidos y caracterizados  por una estabilidad y consistencia interna,  reflejada en la  concepción global del desarrollo en todas sus dimensiones. Las ideas de Piaget  fueron rebatidas por autores muy importantes como  Fodor (1983) quien, en contra de las posturas piagetianas concibió el desarrollo, no globalmente, sino  de manera modular, dándole fuerza a las concepciones innatistas  en contraposición a las ideas piagetianas de construcción de estructuras mentales a través de la interacción con el medio. Por su parte  Karmiloff-Smith (1992)  intentó reunir las ideas innatistas y modulares de Fodor con la postura constructivista de Piaget, concibiendo un modelo de desarrollo más allá de la “modularidad de la mente”. En general se puede concluir que las ideas de Piaget acerca del desarrollo cognitivo han sido reevaluadas en su mayoría. En un proceso creciente de crítica y replanteamiento del último siglo, se ha llegado a pensar  que el  desarrollo es un proceso no reglado, no diseñado, no programado, no lineal y por lo tanto no global.  A diferencia de Piaget, estas teorías explican el funcionamiento mental y no sólo se limitan a describir su estructura. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar este proceso de crítica al pensamiento piagetiano  contemplando las nuevas perspectivas en psicología del desarrollo.

Authors: Sánchez A. Rafael A.
Published: June 2020

Este escrito hace referencia a una experiencia de trabajo desarrollada junto a maestras de preescolar y estudiantes de primaria en la ciudad de Bogotá. Con ellos se adelantó una exploración sobre el concepto de política y se problematizaron los hábitos de pensamiento que surgieron alrededor de tal idea. El propósito central del artículo consiste en establecer un rastro acerca de una labor pedagógica (basada en juegos rítmicos) que fue realizada una década atrás y que puede servir, no solo en términos históricos, sino como referencia para las acciones que otras personas puedan estar realizando en la ciudad con un interés relativamente similar.

Bu araştırmanın amacı girişimcilik ekosisteminin girişimciler üzerinde yarattığı etkileri örgütsel ekoloji kuramı üzerinden ele almaktır. Girişimcilik üzerine geniş bir yazın olmasına karşın girişimcilik ekosistemini oluşturan kuluçka merkezleri, mentor ağları, açık ofis networkleri, eğitim ve seminerler, yarışmalar, jüriler gibi ana aktörlerin; girişimlerin doğması, çoğalması hatta ekosistemin belirlediği kriterlere uyum sağlayamayanların ölümü üzerine yapılan araştırmalar oldukça azdır. Bu araştırmada Türkiye’nin en yüksek talep alan ön-kuluçka merkezindeki süreçten yola çıkılarak, girişimlerin ölümü ya da devamı konusunda belirleyici olan girişimcilik ekosisteminin etkileri tartışılmıştır. Araştırma nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden içerik analizi deseniyle desteklenmiştir. Araştırmanın örneklemini, Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren ve en yüksek talebi alan üniversite kuluçka merkezinde yer alan 3.468 adet girişim başvurusundan kabul edilen ve elemeler sonucu ilk 20’ye giren girişimler ve aynı merkezde yer alan 56 mentor oluşturmaktadır. Analiz sürecinde ikincil veri olarak röportajlardan yararlanılmıştır. Girişimlerin geçirdikleri tüm sürece bakıldığında sadece bir yıl gibi kısa bir sürede birden fazla elemeye tabi tutulmaları, bu elemeler sonucunda onların hızlı ölçeklenmesini sağlayacak yatırımcılar ve iş ağlarına ulaşmaları, elemeleri geçemedikleri takdirde bu imkanları kaybetmeleri ya da kendilerini bu elemelerdeki kriterlere göre tekrar geliştirip gelmeleri kuramı destekleyen çıktılardır.

Sigortacılığın en önemli fonksiyonların biri riski transfer ederek azaltmaktır. Sigorta kelimesi güvence anlamına gelmekte olup zararları ortak karşılama sistemidir. Türk finans dünyasında önemli bir yeri olan sigorta sektörü 2007 yılından itibaren büyük bir dönüşüm göstermesine rağmen nakliyat sigorta branşında istenilen gelişim sağlayamamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı sigorta şirketlerini rakipleri bazında toplam prim ile nakliyat prim ilişkisine göre gruplandırmaktır. Türkiye’de nakliyat branşında faaliyet gösteren sigorta şirketlerine ilişkin veriler kullanarak 5 yıllık döneme ait kümeler oluşturulmuştur. Gerek toplam gerekse nakliyat branşında en fazla prim üreten sigorta şirketlerinin; sektördeki sıralamalarını yıllar itibariyle korudukları gözlemlenmektedir. Kümeleme analizi sonucuna göre nakliyat prim üretimi alt sıralarda yer alan şirketler; ilgili branştaki ürün ve hizmetleri geliştirmeleri durumunda toplam prim üretimine katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Published: June 2020

The simplicity of solar flat plate air collector and free availability of solar energy sources attract attention to the optimization of the collector. This study aims to assess the effect of double pass air flow on the performance of flat plate air collectors. The analysis of the performance characteristics of the indirect solar dryer was carried out by CFD simulation with three different smooth, rough and V-grooved surfaces, keeping the lower and lateral collector well insulated and the drying chamber acting as a vertical chimney. The average thermal efficiency of the V-grooved surface, smooth surface, and rough surface is 90%, 78%, and 62% respectively. The total area of the collector is 1.20 × 2.0 = 2.40 m2 with the dimension of drying cabinet width, depth, and height 1200 × 650 × 1000 mm respectively. The pressure drop observed at the entrance to the drying chamber is high in the case of a smooth surface, medium in a rough surface and low in a V-grooved plate which will allow sufficient gas pressure to pass through completely.The air mass flow rate is the most important and effective factor during drying. The humidity of the air, as well as air velocity, is also an important factor in improving the drying rate.

Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISSN 2300-391X. e-ISSN 2658-283X. DOI: https://doi.org/10.14746/ikps.2019.27.03The article focuses on the issue of diversity in education. The aim of the study is to present the results of research on the perception of shared education of students with and without disabilities and to choose the most favourable form of education for students with disabilities. Awareness and legitimacy of these actions is widespread, but sometimes it is limited to declarations. The article posits the thesis that the condition for the effective pursuit of inclusive education is first of all a maturity for diversity and an internal consent to it, which manifests itself in attitudes that accept student with disabilities in a public school space. The article presents theoretical contexts regarding the issue of normalisation, subtle marginalisation and infrahumanisation.

The bilingual school tends to address both the national days of the Arabs and the national days of the Jews as a part of its multicultural perception. As aforementioned, these days are characterized as tense and complicated days in the school, both for the Arabs and for the Jews, because of the narratives and perceptions that they represent, which sometimes are contradictory and. Nevertheless, it is possible to see that the school addresses the different perceptions and narratives of each culture, with recognition of the difference and uniqueness of each one of them and with reinforcement of the commonalities between them. In this way, it gives hope and encourages the desire for a shared life between Jews and Arabs in Israel, which on the one hand includes the difference and on the other hand broadens the common denominator between the two groups. This article will describe the national days of Arabs and Jews in the bilingual school in Jerusalem. It will focus on the meaning of the days, their complexity, and the ways of coping and implementation in the framework of the school, with reference to the school perception.

DOI:https://doi.org/10.14746/ikps.2019.27.17 A growing body of literature has focused on individuals with autism spectrum disorder who are entering adulthood. Thus, one of the main topics is social interactions and the issue of their functioning in professional contexts. Researchers focus their attention on those individuals’ folk theories that are also crucial in the lives of the normative sample. One of the key folk theories that guide our professional lives is a folk image of the creative person. The folk theory is nothing more than tacit knowledge held by a group of people. It is a system of beliefs and an inner standard of assessment that serves us to explain, for example, why we believe that someone is creative or when we assess the effects of their work. The aim of this paper is to present chosen findings from our study of the folk theory of creativity and creative person using a sample of persons with an autism spectrum disorder. We used a reversed version of Klaus Urban’s and Hans Jellen’s Test for Creative Thinking – Drawing Production (TCT-DP) where respondents selected previously prepared drawings, instead of making them. Their task was to select the most and least creative drawings and rank all the drawings according totheir level of creativity. We also measured respondents’ levels of creative efficiency and creative identity.
