Published: December 2017

A total of 40 one-day-old male Ross chickens were individually fed a commercial feed with either 0 or 8% of de-frosted larvae of black soldier flies (BSF; wet weight). We recorded daily body weights and feed intake of each chicken for a period of 13 days. After euthanasia, we visually scored masses of abdominal fat tissues, and lesions and quantity of fat in intestinal villi. We measured percentages of tibia ash. Larvae, their growing substrate, and the caecal content of the chickens were collected for further microbiota characterisation. Statistical analyses included analyses of variance, chi-square tests, partial least square regressions and mediation analyses. We did not observe any significant differences in the overall means of zootechnical measures and in the relative abundances of most bacterial families in the caeca of birds fed insect larvae or not. On the other hand, relative abundances of bothRhodobacteraceae andBacillaceae were lowest in birds receiving larvae. We identified new, and confirmed previously published, modifications in the chicken phenotypes as gut microbiota composition varied. For example, we observed indirect changes in the average daily gain, feed conversion ratio, tibia ash percentage and abdominal fat score in relation with the introduction of larvae in the diet, changes mediated by the influence of the diet on the relative abundance ofBacillaceae. We suggested presence ofDysgonomonas in larvae and in the growing substrate (after the passage of BSF larvae) may be one of the mechanisms used by the larvae to transform manure because these bacteria have a fermentative metabolism producing acids and no gas.
Sociologías de la energía. Hacia una agenda de investigación
Authors: Ariztía Tomás , Boso Àlex , Tironi Manuel
Published: December 2017

El presente artículo presenta una visión panorámica de los estudios sociales de la energía a la vez que introduce los artículos del monográfico. Se comienza presentando las razones que explican la progresiva visibilidad de las temáticas energéticas en la sociología, aludiendo al desafío que impone el cambio climático y la creciente atención de las ciencias sociales hacia la dimensión material de la vida social. Se propone entender la energía como un objeto de estudio de carácter esencialmente socio técnico, esto es, como un fenómeno que exige una aproximación que dé cuenta de los aspectos materiales, técnicos, sociales y culturales que lo constituyen. El artículo presenta luego diferentes áreas de investigación relevantes para el debate sociológico sobre la intersección entre energía y sociedad y su relación con las contribuciones al monográfico. Los estudios que se presentan no sólo tienen interés para la comunidad académica del área de la sociología, sino que pueden ser de utilidad para profesionales de la energía e investigadores de otras disciplinas interesados en abordar los aspectos sociales de la energía.
Perspective on the Deep Hydrotreating of Renewable and Non-Renewable Oils
Authors: Baechler Serbia Maria Antonieta Rodulfo , Gonzalez-Cortes Sergio , Xiao Tiancun , Al-Megren Hamid A. , Edwards Peter P.
Published: December 2017

To meet not only the increased demand of liquid transportation fuel but also the stringent environmental legislation centered on anthropogenic emissions, renewable resources (i.e., not depleted by use) and low-grade feedstocks need to be processed, since the reserves and quality of the feeds available are markedly declining. In this chapter, an overview on the hydrotreating of renewable and non-renewable feeds for producing ultraclean transportation liquid fuels is given. The fundamentals and factors that affect the generation of ultraclean fuels and bio-fuels are discussed in an integrated perspective. The authors include not only the current understanding of the hydrotreating process but also the challenges for the valorization of non-renewable and renewable feedstocks with high content of heteroatoms and unsaturated poly-aggregate compounds (asphaltenes and lignin). The importance to develop advanced catalysts based on abundant metals, rather than precious metals, and multifunctional properties with sufficient activity and selectivity in hydrodeoxygenation of bio-oils is outlined.
Ultrasound-Assisted Synthesis of Nanostructured Oxide Materials
Authors: Valange Sabine , Chatel Gregory , Amaniampong Prince Nana , Behling Ronan , Jérôme François
Published: December 2017

This chapter is focused on the use of high intensity ultrasound for the preparation of nanostructured materials with an emphasis on recent prominent examples of the production of dense or porous metal oxides through sonochemical and ultrasonic spray pyrolysis routes. Sonochemistry enables the synthesis of oxides that are often unachievable by traditional methods or affords known materials with shape, size, and nano/microstructure control under fast reaction conditions. The fundamental principles of acoustic cavitation, as well as the main ultrasonic parameters affecting the cavitation phenomenon, are first summarized. Next, the applications of ultrasound in the synthesis of nanostructured oxide materials following both preparation methods are reviewed. Particular focus is given to the ultrasound-assisted synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles for energy applications.

Published: December 2017

In the healthcare field, plenty of clinical data is generated every day from patient records, surveys, research papers, medical devices, among others sources. These data can be exploited to discover new insights about health issues. For helping decision makers and healthcare data managers, a survey of research works and tools covering the process of handling big data in the healthcare field is included. A methodology for CVD prevention, detection and management through the use of tools for big data analysis is proposed. Also, it is important to maintain privacy of patients when handling healthcare data; therefore, a list of recommendations for maintaining privacy when handling healthcare data is presented. Specific clinical analysis are recommended on those regions where the incidence rate of CVD is high, but a weak relation with the common risk factors is observed according to historical data. Finally, challenges which need to be addressed are presented.
Kernel-Based Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: Vijay Kumar , Arti Saxena , Suresh Kumar
Published: December 2017

Health care is considered as the fundamental right of every citizen and it is principle duty of every country to provide good health care facilities. Many developed countries spend substantial amount of gross domestic product (GDP) on healthcare. In this chapter, we discuss kernel based machine learning techniques, i.e., k-PCA (Kernel principal component analysis) and its related properties with a aim to prescribe cost effective treatments and easy diagnosis of diseases. This objective could be met only by the serious collaboration between physician and data scientist. We discussed that how we could construct a kernel and exact features based on the given dataset. Also, we compared the proposed method with the other methods. For the sake of easy understanding, applications of the proposed method are included in the text.
Population variability of three Delia species (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) from the same agricultural habitat in Québec, Canada
Authors: Lamb Robert J. , Boivin Guy
Published: December 2017

Long-term trap catches of seedcorn maggot, Delia platura (Meigen), onion maggot, Delia antiqua (Meigen), and cabbage maggot, Delia radicum (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Anthomyiidae), were used to test the hypothesis that related species have more similar population variability than unrelated ones. Annual abundance was estimated from trap catches for 32 years (two species) or 17 years (one species). Population variability was quantified as PV, a proportion between 0 and 1. The three Delia Robineau-Desvoidy species had PV values of 0.51–0.55 that did not differ significantly. These PV values were found to differ significantly from two unrelated species studied over the same time period in the same habitat, which had PV values of 0.39 and 0.67. The hypothesis that related species have more similar population variabilities than unrelated species in the same habitat was supported. These data strengthen the view that PV is a species-specific trait reflecting the adaptation of life histories to their habitat, with related species showing more similar adaptations than unrelated species. The polyphagous and saprophagous seedcorn maggot had PV similar to the two oligophagous herbivores, casting doubt on the hypothesis that more generalist feeders have less variable populations than more specialised feeders.
Transforming Electronic Interconnect
Authors: Olson Tim
Published: December 2017

From nanometers at the transistor level to 100's of microns at the ball grid array (BGA) connections, electronic interconnect of semiconductors spans orders of magnitude as it forms the central nervous system of today's advanced electronic products. Tectonic shifts are currently underway within the industries providing electronic interconnect. Traditional supply chain boundaries produce back end of line (BEOL) structures within wafer foundries ranging from 10's of nanometers to 10's of microns. First-level interconnect, or packaging, the classical purvey of semiconductor assembly and test services (SATS) providers operates in 10's to 100's of microns. Second-level interconnect, or board level assembly, historically rests with electronic manufacturing systems (EMS) providers measuring their work in 100's of microns and above. The transformation underway in electronic interconnect will redefine historical supply chain boundaries as it blurs the lines between foundries, SATS and EMS providers. At the heart of the transformation is ‘fan-out’ technology moving from initial capacities in wafer form to an emerging format of large panels. Breaking through capital cost, reliability and yield concerns with novel solutions will open the door for widespread industry growth of fan-out.

Hypothèse récentes concernant les mécanismes pathogéniques des maladies à Prions
Authors: Morre Michel
Published: December 2017

Recent hypothesis concerning the pathogenic mechanism of prion diseases

The abnormal maturation of a host coded protein is the fundamental cellular event of Prion diseases. Some authors regard this protein as the pathogenic agent itself, some other as part of a yet unknown nucleic acid protein association.

Both the genetic and infectious etiology of this disease support a complex pathogenicity implying an interference with some basic regulatory sequences of the host cell.

Un grand médecin : Pierre-François-Olive Rayer (1793-1867), pionnier de l’étude des zoonoses et fondateur de la pathologie comparée
Authors: Théodoridès Jean
Published: December 2017

P.F.O. Rayer fit toute sa carrière médicale et scientifique à Paris où il fut successivement docteur en médecine (1818), membre de l’Académie de Médecine (1823), médecin de l’Hôpital de La Charité (1832), membre de l’Académie des Sciences (1843), fondateur de la Société de Biologie (1848), doyen de la Faculté de Médecine et professeur de médecine comparée (1862).

Ses recherches sur les zoonoses concernent principalement la morve (1837-44) dont il démontra la transmission du cheval à l’homme et vice versa, le charbon du bétail dont il isola avec C. Davaine la bactéridie (1850), premier germe pathogène mis en évidence, la fièvre aphteuse (1843), la tuberculose humaine et animale (1842-43), etc.

Son cours de médecine comparée dont seule l'Introduction fut publiée en 1863 constitue un plaidoyer en faveur de l’étude de la pathologie dans toute la série animale et même chez les végétaux. Il mérite donc d’être considéré comme le fondateur de la pathologie comparée.

Éthique du rapport Humain-Animal
Authors: Catsaras Marc
Published: December 2017

Les questions relatives à l’Éthique du rapport Humain-Animal sont examinées, dan son premier temps, sur deux points en particulier : respect de la vie, retrait de la vie.

1. L’être humain et l’être animal présentent les mêmes caractéristiques d’appartenance au monde vivant de la terre ; ils sont identiques de ce point de vue.

2. Les humains et les animaux obéissent à une loi inflexible : celle qui les oblige à se nourrir. Pour cela, il faut tuer ; les animaux le font, les humains aussi.

Ces deux points sont largement discutés, et la conclusion est que toute vie doit être respectée, toute mort doit être respectée.
Perspectives offertes à la production animale par l’usage des biotechnologies : les animaux monogastriques
Authors: Aumaitre Aimé
Published: December 2017

New perspectives for biotechnology in the area of monogastric farm animals.

Products derived from monogastric animals, pigs, poultry and rabbit production are more and more popular in Europe to supply the demand of consummers for cheap safe and good quality meat. Thanks to research and innovations, these animals are more and more productive and efficient.

Recent data on nutritional physiology provided informations about the digestive (Ileal digestibility) and nutritional role of Insoluble Non Starch Polysaccharides (INSP) and Antinutritional Factors (ANFs) included in exotic imported feedstuffs, such as cereal substitutes. The utilization of mathematical models led to a more and more accurate estimation of the nutritional requirements of animals of different species at different physiological stages, and to the prediction of energy and protein value of feedstuffs, on the basis of numerous data collected throughout analytical experimental approaches.

Genetic is also a field of continuous innovation. Robertsonian translocation (T4/14) responsible for reproductive failure was recently identified in the pig species. Molecular genetic will supply informations on genetic mapping (PiGMaP) about loci governing quantitative traits in a study coordinated between 10 European countries. These results will reinforce the role of quantitative genetics applied to farm animals and herds.

Integrative physiology is presently absolutely required on the basis of numerous analytical results supplied by the different disciplines of animal biology for an efficient support and control of a profitable husbandry of monogastric animals, respectful of the animals, the environment and the consummer.
„Lasten odtenek“: Koncept individualnosti v dramskih delih Iz junaškega življenja meščanov Carla Sternheima
Authors: Virant Špela
Published: December 2017

Prispevek, ki se opira na recepcijsko estetiko in na diskurzno analizo, se posveča konceptu individualnosti v komedijah Carla Sternheima, ki jih literarna veda združuje v cikel z naslovom Iz junaškega življenja meščanov, s posebnim poudarkom na njihovi recepciji v delih pisateljev W. G. Sebalda in Floriana Illiesa. V središču raziskave sta predvsem dva vidika, in sicer obravnava družbene kritike in koncept individualnosti, ki sta pri Sternheimu umeščena v kontekst kritike meščanske ideologije. Analiza recepcije pokaže, kako se je v preteklih sto letih pod vplivom različnih ideologij spreminjalo razumevanje teh dveh pojmov. Prispevek zagovarja tezo, da nova interpretacija Sternheimovih del lahko pokaže, kako nasprotja, ki jih vsebujeta oba pojma, vse do danes niso razrešena, temveč so se celo zaostrila.
Transmission de la langue slovene dans la communauté slovene a Paris
Authors: Cibrić Lea
Published: December 2017

Pour conclure, la transmission de la langue maternelle des émigrés dans un autre pays reste un sujet de recherches assez captivant puisque, d’un côté, il s’agit d’une question globale sur la préservation de leur identité et de leur culture étant donné qu’il est dans le fonctionnement de l’homme de vouloir rester en contact avec ses racines parce que c’est seulement ainsi qu’il est possible de se comprendre et former l’avenir. D’un autre côté, les solutions qui ressortent de ce type de recherche peuvent aider le pays à mieux comprendre ces émigrés et à améliorer ses relations avec sa diaspora à l’étranger.Selon nous, l’analyse respective des réponses donne une réelle description de la situation actuelle de l’état de la culture slovène et de la transmission de la langue slovène à Paris. En général, nous pouvons constater que la langue slovène fait partie de la communauté parisienne, non seulement parmi les immigrés, mais aussi dans le cadre institutionnel, ce qui signifie que sa place n’est pas du tout compromise.Comme l’a souligné un linguiste slovène très reconnu, Jože Toporišič, l’assimilation dans un environnement étranger ne veut pas dire la perte de l’identité nationale, mais les émigrés absorbent seulement les pouvoirs de cette nouvelle communauté en abandonnant la leur (Toporišič, 1991 : 58). Ainsi, selon l’auteur, il s’agit du fait qu’ils obtiennent une nouvelle identité, peut-être mixte, sinon adaptée. Ce phénomène est également vrai pour les Slovènes à Paris.En outre, la transmission des langues dépend de multiples facteurs parmi lesquels apparaissent notamment le rapport à la mobilité de ces familles, la motivation pour l’apprentissage, la persévérance des parents, les liens familiaux, ainsi que les changements sociétaux en cours à travers le monde.Pour finir, le fait de continuer à utiliser sa langue maternelle ou celle de ses grands-parents dans un pays étranger est un fait intéressant parce que la langue de la famille représente une grande partie de l´identité personnelle et nous pensons que chacun pourrait s’identifier à ce thème. Un jour ou l’autre, nous serons tous immigrés – soit dans un autre pays, dans une autre ville ou seulement dans une autre famille.

Pensamento político brasileiro: o vigor de um campo de pesquisa
Authors: Cepêda Vera Alves , Di Carlo Josnei
Published: December 2017

Por causa dos artigos recebidos para o Dossiê Pensamento Político Brasileiro, publicado em duas partes, nas edições da Em Tese de 2017, podemos inferir tanto o vigor constante das pesquisas presentes nesse campo de estudo quanto o interesse despertado por ele nas novas gerações de pesquisadores. A longevidade das pesquisas sobre o pensamento político brasileiro (PPB), que antecede a própria institucionalização da Ciência Política no Brasil, demostra o potencial investigativo desse campo - quando se reposiciona a compreensão de uma determinada tese ou se modifica a explicação das condições históricas de sua origem. Tomando o Dossiê Pensamento Político Brasileiro da Em Tese como uma amostra desse campo de estudo, podemos refletir sobre o estado da arte e da produção intelectual do PPB. Através dos temas dos 16 artigos desse dossiê e do IES de seus autores, podemos refletir sobre os grupos de estudo do PPB e ao avançarmos com a análise das referências bibliográficas usadas neles para questões teóricas e metodológicas desse campo.

Published: December 2017

O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar os diferentes tipos de argumentos, considerando-os partes centrais dos processos argumentativos, em artigos de opinião da Olimpíada de Língua Portuguesa (OLP), escritos sobre o tema “O lugar onde vivo”. Para analisar os argumentos nos artigos selecionados, adotamos como base os pressupostos da Nova Retórica (PERELMAN; OLBRECHTS-TYTECA, 2005), associados aos estudos de Bakhtin (2003, 2010) e de Souza (2003, 2008, 2009), dentre outros. Para tanto, selecionamos cinco artigos premiados em diferentes concursos (2008, 2010, 2012), de domínio público, disponíveis no sítio oficial da Olimpíada. A maioria dos artigos estudados tem suas teses constituídas pelos argumentos que fundamentam a estrutura do real, com destaque para as relações de causa/efeito e de fato/consequência. Com base na ligação estabelecida entre os fatos, os oradores/articulistas procuram compreender essas relações e, ao mesmo tempo, explicar e justificar com argumentos as polêmicas que envolvem problemáticas relacionadas à sua vivência em comunidade.
Verbos de elocução em português: um estudo descritivo com base em grandes corpora e motivado pela linguística computacional
Authors: Saburi Costa Bianca Freitas , Freitas Cláudia
Published: December 2017

Neste artigo, apresentamos os resultados e as etapas de um amplo estudo descritivo, com base em corpora, sobre os verbos de elocução em português. A motivação para o trabalho vem de uma tarefa da Linguística Computacional – a identificação de citação. Partimos, inicialmente, de traduções do verbo “said” em contextos literários para a depreensão de verbos de elocução. Em seguida, utilizando grandes corpora monolíngues, buscamos padrões léxico-gramaticais característicos dessa classe de verbos, a fim de ampliar a lista. Com a metodologia, foram identificados 293 verbos de elocução, distribuídos em oito padrões gerais típicos desse grupo de verbos. Os resultados são comparados com outros trabalhos em português, inglês e francês, que tematizam os verbos de elocução e atestam o sucesso da metodologia utilizada.
Estudo lexical do vocabulário do jogo de arco e flecha e da corrida de tora Parkatêjê

Published: December 2017

Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar a documentação e estudo sobre o léxico de duas atividades tradicionais do povo Parkatêjê: corrida de tora e o jogo de arco e flecha. Para isso, partimos de dois campos léxicos, corrida de tora e jogo de arco e flecha, os quais foram subdivididos em cinco subcampos semânticos: espaço físico; etapas e processos; elementos humanos; partes, componentes, especificações e medidas e instrumentos. A coleta de dados foi realizada in loco com a aplicação de questionários linguísticos com informantes de três faixas etárias. Todo o desenvolvimento desta pesquisa baseou-se em postulações teórico-metodológicas da Etnolinguística por (Coseriu (1990), Velarde (1991) e Rodrigues (2005); da Lexicologia e Lexicografia (Biderman (2001) e Dubois et al. (1973); e no Campo Léxico com Coseriu (1977) e Abbade (2011). Ao término do estudo chegamos à estrutura e à organização do vocabulário a que nos propomos investigar, bem como às suas particularidades linguísticas.
Representações culturais de países hispano-falantes: um olhar para recursos visuais no contexto da EaD
Authors: De Oliveira Leandra Cristina , De Oliveira Carlos Rodrigo
Published: December 2017

Tendo em vista a relevância da discussão sobre cultura na Linguística Aplicada, tanto no âmbito do ensino de língua materna como de língua estrangeira, direcionamos o diálogo sobre o tema ao ensino de espanhol na Educação a distância (EaD). Com um olhar sobre o Curso de Letras Espanhol da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, na modalidade EaD, temos por objetivo discutir as representações culturais dos países hispano-falantes nas imagens do Ambiente Virtual da disciplina de Língua Espanhola I. Consoante ao objetivo, levantamos a seguinte questão: em que medida as representações culturais nas imagens analisadas contribuem para a desconstrução de concepções reducionistas e estereotipadas sobre os países hispano-falantes? A resposta a essa questão decorre da análise das imagens introdutórias dos tópicos da disciplina em questão, assentada em bases teóricas de estudos culturais, com atenção especial aos conceitos de cultura, identidade e diferença.
Haciendo frente al acoso homofóbico a través de la poesía desde la clase de lengua extranjera: una propuesta didáctica
Authors: Férez Mora Pedro Antonio , Alderete Díez Pilar
Published: December 2017

La otredad, de la cual el otro homosexual es un componente, no se incluye habitualmente como contenido curricular. Aplicando esta idea específicamente a la clase de lengua extranjera, se discutirán tanto las implicaciones de esta omisión como los beneficios de su inclusión en los programas académicos, especialmente como herramienta de prevención del bullying homofóbico. El medio elegido para introducir la otredad en el espectro de la enseñanza de la lengua extranjera será la poesía y, a fin de ilustrar las ventajas de este giro en la práctica, se explotará didácticamente el poema “Si el hombre pudiera decir” de Luis Cernuda.
El laberinto de la estereotipación en la LIJ catalana
Authors: Mínguez López Xavier
Published: December 2017

La diversidad siempre ha estado presente en nuestro alumnado, no obstante, la incorporación de culturas poco presentes en España, fue un revulsivo en los años 90 para la revitalización de la educación intercultural. Pero a nuestro parecer, existe una carencia importante de estudios acerca de cómo esta nueva multiculturalidad ha hecho mella en la sociedad, y en especial en los materiales no curriculares entre los cuales la Literatura Infantil y Juvenil (LIJ) es un componente fundamental. Es importante, pues, y necesario comprobar qué tratamiento se ha hecho de la multiculturalidad en la LIJ y el estereotipo es, sin duda, uno de los aspectos más sensibles que se reflejan en las obras.Nuestro artículo da cuenta de una investigación realizada sobre un total de 95 libros infantiles y juveniles en catalán seleccionados a través de premios, reseñas y listas de honor. Si bien el objetivo de la investigación global era analizar la presencia de la multiculturalidad y la interculturalidad, constatamos que la multiculturalidad se daba en muchos casos a través de los estereotipos, en especial, estereotipos respecto de culturas enteras y personajes extranjeros. A esto contribuye en parte el formato de las obras, pero también la sociedad que tratan de reflejar.
Retratar a otras mujeres y cartografiar nuestros vínculos
Authors: García-Huidobro Munita María Rosario
Published: December 2017

Este escrito reflexiona una serie de pinturas realizadas para una exposición en Junio del 2016 en Barcelona. La serie se tituló “Cartografías del rostro” y estaba compuesta por once pinturas que entrecruzaban los rostros de la artista con otras mujeres. Además, sobre cada pintura yacía una cartografía que realizaba la artista con la mujer retratada, donde ambas mapeaban sus vínculos sobre el retrato para nombrar sus realidades simbólicas. A partir de estas obras, la autora hace un recorrido donde explica cómo se originó la serie, qué experiencias y referentes la llevan a tomar elementos de la cartografía y del feminismo para realizar estas creaciones. A través de este trabajo se habla de una práctica artística que busca la mediación, ya que pone en el centro la relación con otras mujeres, para visibilizar las relaciones entre ellas como prácticas políticas que se mueven en el ámbito de las artes. Se reflexiona sobre cómo las nuevas imágenes que se crean en las prácticas artísticas feministas pueden cuestionan las ideas tradicionales del retrato y, así también, el sentido de vivirse como mujeres.
Bildunsphilosophie und empirische Forschung
Authors: Thole Werner
Published: December 2017

Die erziehungs- und sozialwissenschaftliche Forschungslandschaft hat sich in den zurückliegenden Jahrzehnten weltweit enorm expandiert und ausdifferenziert. Befördert wird diese Entwicklung durch die internationalen Vergleichsstudien der OECD wie das “Programme for International Student Assessment“ oder die Studie „Education

at a Glance 2016“. Zu registrieren ist nicht nur ein deutlicher Zuwachs an empirischen Forschungsvorhaben, sondern auch und insbesondere eine Weiterentwicklung der methodologischen Konzepte, Standards und

Ansprüche. In dem Beitrag wird aus einer erziehungswissenschaftlichen Perspektive der Zuwachs an empirischer Forschung zu zentralen Fragen der Bildung erörtert. Nach einer Vergewisserung, was heute gemeint sein kann, wenn über Bildung gesprochen wird, und einem knappen Rückblick auf die Geschichte der pädagogischen Forschung wird erörtert, worin der Ertrag einer empirischen Beobachtung von Bildungsprozessen liegen

kann. Diskutiert wird in diesem Zusammenhang auch die Ambivalenz zwischen quantitativ-statistischen und qualitativ-verstehenden Forschungsansätzen im Kontext einer erziehungswissenschaftlichen Forschung. In Erinnerung an die Beiträge Theodor W. Adornos zur empirischen Forschung wird dafür plädiert, den Streit über

die Angemessenheit und Relevanz von unterschiedlichen Methoden nicht mehr theoriedogmatisch, sondern unter Bezug auf die jeweils in den Blick genommenen Fragestellungen zu führen. Gewarnt wird in diesem

Kontext auch davor, die empirische Forschung gegen eine philosophisch orientierte Erziehungswissenschaft zu positionieren oder die kritische Bildungsphilosophie gegen empirisch grundierte Erkenntnisintentionen.

Forschung bedarf der Theorie wie andererseits eine solide Generierung von theoretischem Wissen auf empirische Daten nicht verzichten sollte.
Application of Monte Carlo Simulation to Find Travel Time of Groundwater in the Iraqi Western Desert
Authors: Sachit Dawood Eisa , Azawi Hayat Kareem Shukur
Published: December 2017

In this study, a computerized mathematical method represented by Monte Carlo simulation was used to predict the travel time of the groundwater flow in the Iraqi western desert. During the run of the simulations, all the hydraulic parameters of Darcy’s Law were fixed but the hydraulic conductivity. The input data of the hydraulic conductivity is compared to the triangular distribution function to find the best number of iteration to run the simulations. The results showed that an iteration number of 5000 was enough to achieve best match between the input data of the hydraulic conductivity and the fitted distribution function. In addition, the estimated travel time of the groundwater flow is broadly varied through the entire area and ranges from 1983 years to 113 741 years based on 10 000 m of travel distance. Furthermore, hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer has high impact on the estimated travel time of the groundwater flow. However, head difference of groundwater elevation among the selected wells considerably influences the expected travel time of the groundwater flow.
Exploring Predictors of Social Actions by General Education Students towards Peers with Disabilities
Authors: Wyche Okpareke Alicia , Salisbury Christine L.
Published: December 2017

This study deepens the field’s understanding about factors that contribute to positive social engagement between students without disabilities and their peers with mild disabilities in general education classrooms. A sample of 68 seventh grade students with and without disabilities was drawn from general education classrooms in a suburban, Midwest district in the United States. Direct observation of students’ social behavior, as well as student surveys and context measures, were used to explore associations among student attitudes, their perceived norms, feelings of efficacy, stated intentions and their actions towards peers with disabilities. Results revealed that students without disabilities strong intentions to interact with peers with disabilities were unrelated to their actual behavior. However, students’ attitudes, norms, and feelings of efficacy were predictive of their intentions. Interpretations and implications for understanding the interplay of predisposing factors, intentions to socialize, and actual socializing behavior are discussed.
Short-term International Experience (STIE) and Students’ Understanding of Quality Early Childhood Service Provision
Authors: Sims Margaret , Nishida Yukiyo
Published: December 2017

Exposing pre-service teachers to international professional experiences through a short-term visiting programme serves to challenge their understandings of good quality practice through disturbing assumptions and expectations previously formed through experiences in their own country/culture. Much of the research in international study focuses on pre-service teachers preparing to teach in primary, secondary or language classes. In this study we present the perceptions of pre-service early childhood students who underwent a short-term international experience. In particular we explore the ways in which their experiences impacted on their understandings of quality early childhood service provision. In the increasingly neoliberal Australian early childhood sector externally imposed standards define quality and this is enacted in relatively homogenous ways in practice, opportunities to observe practice arising from different understandings serves to challenge thinking, potentially leading to different world views (Piaget’s accommodation).

In the Web of Doubts and Prospects. Consequences of the Digitisation of the Modern Society
Authors: Łachacz Tomasz , Dziekońska Joanna
Published: December 2017

New information and communication technologies are an inherent part of the contemporary man’s living space. Since their very beginning, the media have always, to a lesser or greater extent, determined the functioning of individuals. Today, however, due to unlimited access, impressive growth of the media market and human creativity in the area of new technological developments, the involvement of mass media in people’s lives is taking on a new, unprecedented dimension. Such a state of affairs was envisaged as early as in the middle of the last century by, among others, M. McLuhan, who wrote that “the new media will transform us entirely: nothing will remain unchanged, untouched”, or J. Baurdrillard, who speculated at the time that media would become the life itself. Nowadays, these speculations are taking on a real form, especially as regards the net generation, which is an audience strongly dominated by the impact of the media for a simple reason, i.e. because its representatives — contemporary children and young people, unlike adults, were born and have been growing up in the digital world. Thus, the article is an attempt to present opportunities, challenges and threats involving widespread use of the latest technologies by digital natives. The authors show consequences of the phenomenon in the social, cultural, educational and security dimensions through references to the Polish and foreign literature, focusing on ambivalent implications of changes in the net generation’s way of thinking, communicating, collecting information and learning. Moreover, the article gives examples of juvenile perpetrators of attacks who were strongly linked with the virtual world prior to committing their crimes.
National Anti-Money Laundering/Counter-Terrorist Financing Risk Assessment as a Partial Tool
for Creditor’s Protection
Authors: Kurilovská Lucia , Kordík Marek
Published: December 2017

This paper deals with a national risk assessment. The subject of the risk assessment is money laundering and the financing of terrorism. This is the first time it has been conducted in the Slovak republic. The contribution shows what are the decisive criteria in evaluating the national system of terrorism financing. The first variable that needs to be taken in account is the number of cases. The second variable is the qualitative aspect of the cases. The competency of the personnel constitutes the third variable. The infrastructure generates a fourth variable in order to prevent, avoid and respond such a threat. The other variables are strongly related to the directions and channels of the terrorism financing. The infrastructure belongs to the category of other variables. The paper also deals with data sources and lists those that should be used as a source for further evaluation. The outcome of the NRA will be a comprehensive report.
Security and Public Order in Polish Public Law
Authors: Brakoniecki Dariusz
Published: December 2017

In this paper the author discusses the position and role of security and public order in the Polish public law system. The division into public law and private law included is not the first. It is derived from the work of Ulpian, and was later included in the Digest of Justinian. Its further development, depending on the region, accepted political ideology and the philosophy of law, took on a different shape, determining the way of perceiving the law. It should be assumed that the concept of separation between public law and private law is the domain of substantive law, and its application is primarily found in scientific digressions. The considerations are of theoretical nature, pointing to the scope of application of the concept of security, which is wrongly equated with the concept of public order, in various legal acts ranging from acts in law and international law, through executive acts, to local law and internal ordinance regulations. These have recently shown a dramatic increase
in the role of security and public order in the decision-makers and legislators conceptions. Despite the importance and demand for the good of public security and public order, which is at the same time one of the basic functions of public administration, the legislator has only presented this issue in a fragmented way, referring only to particular areas of law which, despite use by numerous judicators, still raise some doubts in respect of interpretation. In the area of the issue discussed, the author also points to the tendency of blurring the boundary between the sphere of public law and the sphere of private law, in particular by dislocating public service provision in the field of public security and order, to paid for services provided by private parties in this area. The result of this synthesis is a partial indication of the dangers resulting from differences in the constitutional guarantees of private and public law.
