The New Community Policing: Developing a Partnership-Based Theoretical Foundation
Authors: McKee Adam J , Lewis Andre' L
Published: January 2018

This paper presents a Partnership Model of Community Policing based on Partnership concepts developed by Riane Eisler and undergirded by Cultural Transformation Theory as a guiding principle (1987, 2010, 2013). This model is more reflective of the daily lived experiences of community police officers. It is culturally relevant and based on the whole of the police officer’s relationship with the community within the context in which the interactions occur. This "New Community Policing" is an extension of Riane Eisler’s Cultural Transformation Theory and is an attempt to answer her call for a movement towards a partnership model of social organization. Ultimately, "8 Pillars of the New Community Policing" are developed to aid in defining and implementing community policing.
The Partnership Paradigm Is A Unified Field Theory For Human Betterment: How It Works in the Minnesota Climate Crisis Movement
Authors: Hokenson Terry W
Published: January 2018

“Intersectionality” is a byword of activists today. While we continue to ply our special causes and organize our various turfs, we are no longer content or even able to isolate ourselves within them as if they were solitary silos. These days most of us realize our causes and constituencies intersect. We attend each others' hearings, workshops and marches, trade ideas across the spectrum, form coalitions, and share hearts and minds on a digital scale that collapses time. We connect dots innumerable as the pixels in a picture, while the clouds grow darker and the lightning strikes nearer.

Building a Caring Democracy: Four Cornerstones for an Integrated Progressive Agenda
Authors: Eisler Riane
Published: January 2018

Why do people vote for “strong” leaders who condone violence, debase women, and stoke fear and scapegoating? If free elections alone are not the answer, what will it take to build a caring democracy that promotes the wellbeing and full development of all people? This paper examines these questions from a perspective that takes into account the connection between politics and economics, on one hand, and what children first experience and observe in their family and other intimate relations, on the other. It describes the study of relational dynamics, a multidisciplinary method of analysis that reveals social categories that transcend conventional ones: the partnership system and the domination system. It looks at modern history through the lens of the partnership-domination social scale, focusing on the struggle between the movement toward partnership and regressions to domination. It compares the integrated regressive worldview and political agenda with the fragmented progressive one. It identifies four cornerstones for partnership or domination systems: family/childhood, gender, economics, narratives/language. It then details how to build these cornerstones so they support a more humane, caring, and sustainable future, and provides practical resources for this urgent task.
Women's Rights, Human Rights, and Duties: From Domination to Partnership
Authors: Kurtz Lester R.
Published: January 2018

The idea of women's rights as human rights can facilitate our identifying the causes, consequences, and potential remedies for the current quagmire in which we find themselves, but it needs some reformulation. To the traditional understandings of human rights, I add four conceptual tools: (1) Mahatma Gandhi’s idea of the counterparts of rights and duties, (2) Eisler’s concept of partnership (as opposed to dominator) societies, (3) Johan Galtung’s expansion of our conception of violence to include its structural and cultural forms, and, finally, (4) the literature on nonviolence as a path to mobilization and transformation that resists existing social structures and builds new ones.
Media Review: Three Books on a New Economics: A German Perspective
Authors: Brandhorst Ulrike
Published: January 2018

The first part of this paper presents the ideas of Niko Paech and Christian Felber, two popular exponents of alternative economic models in Germany and Austria. Both authors invoke psychological and behavioral factors, noting that our current economic system is leaving people dependent, unhappy, and dissatisfied, and that this system’s values are contradictory to our constitutional and fundamental values. The book presented in the second part of the paper helps understand this absurdity. It’s Riane Eisler’s The Real Wealth of Nations: Creating a Caring Economics, in which she explains how we can reach an understanding of connections that are still largely invisible, and change the mindsets responsible for replicating harmful behavior and policies reflected in our current economic system.
Partnerships in Sustainability: The Transition Town Movement in Minnesota
Authors: MacKenzie Leslie , Lewis-Hunstiger Marty
Published: January 2018

Transition Towns is a citizen-led movement that seeks to address individual and societal dependence on fossil fuels and the need to reduce greenhouse gas production in order to fight climate change. The foundation of Transition is permaculture, a design process based on whole-systems thinking informed by the patterns and relationships found in nature. Since its inception in 2005, the Transition movement has spread worldwide, as people in small groups and across large towns look for ways to take practical action to fight climate change: from home vegetable gardens to weatherization work parties, from time banks and tool shares to renewable energy systems. Transition looks different in every location because it meets the needs and draws on the skills of the local community. This article looks at Transition in one community: The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, profiling several Transition Town groups.
Building a Sustainable Society: The Necessity to Change the Term 'Consumer'
Authors: Chakori Sabrina
Published: January 2018

The profit-seeking system leads to many negative environmental impacts. Within this economic system, consumption reflects an important relationship between humans and nature. However, despite the growing international attention to environmental sustainability, our society does not necessarily acknowledge consumerism as the cause of global environmental degradation. Deconstructing the consumption culture and redefining what determines well-being, this paper will attempt to provide a comprehensive overview of the existing definition of people in the economic system. Many authors have defined our role in the economy; however, in terms of customer, citizen-consumer, and socially conscious consumer, most of the literature in this domain remains rooted in consumerism. Consumerism cannot be fixed with further consumerism; therefore this paper discusses the importance of reclaiming our identity and the need to define new terms for people in a new economic system. Any new terms should integrate interests and responsibilities that go beyond simple utility maximization. Moving beyond the term “consumer” will change our worldview. This cultural transformation may help facilitate long-term environmental sustainability.
Biocultural Stewardship as an Idea in Urban Contexts: Language, Academic Disciplinarity, Positionality, Environmental/Sustainability Sciences, and Healing
Authors: Flick Kate
Published: January 2018

Individual, cultural, and Place-based positionality are important elements when thinking about partnership and the environment, particularly including erasures of Indigenous and other marginalized lenses. Language barriers and exclusion of culture that stem from the Western need for scientific validity, and predominance of this framing within environmental sciences, surface as a main limitation to building relationships, communicating across disciplines, and working beyond institutions. What does the Western scientific imagination lack that might lend a lens on different relationships to Place and on decision-making tools that inform our care of it? Biocultural stewardship of public spaces using an intermingling of ecological and cultural story-telling as a glue could drive a process of Place-making that offers alternative lenses to partnership and the environment. Sustainability, agency, and knowledge production could take on different forms if we leave space for cultural lenses and healing in our partnerships with the environment. Urban areas in particular mark spaces where many cultural traditions are coming together in unique but often underutilized contexts to offer potential knowledge to novel human-environment partnerships. This article draws on framing within the history of science and Indigenous philosophy, to see how broadly but intentionally including different cultural ways of knowing in particularized academic disciplines—especially in environmental sciences—might shed light on relationships of responsibility and stewardship to the land.
Futures
Authors: Gottlieb Roger S
Published: January 2018

In fictional form, this piece explores two possible ways in which the current environmental crisis (in general) and climate change (in particular) might unfold in coming years. In each case there is great suffering and many things are lost. However, in the first humanity and other species are simply devastated, and little human learning has been accomplished. In the second, a profoundly new appreciation of our connection with and dependence on the natural world has replaced the now dominant attitude and practice of domination and exploitation.
Genetic variability, correlation and cluster analysis in elite lines of rice
Authors: Iqbal Touheed , Nazir Ahmad Iqbal Hussain, , Saeed, Muhammad Zia Muhammad Nauman, Mujahid Ali, Saad , Ali Fawad
Published: January 2018

Development of rice cultivars with appreciative performance is one of the prime objectives of rice breeding programs. The aims of the study were to generate scientific information on nature and magnitude of genetic variability and relationship of yield and related attributes and to classify genotypes into distinct clusters on the basis of quantitative traits. Fourteen elite rice genotypes were evaluated under RCB. There was significant (P ≤ 0.01) differences for all studied traits, except physiological maturity. The magnitudes of PCV and GCV were higher (>20%) in all the studied traits, except physiological maturity, reflecting wide spectrum of variability and offering greater opportunities for selection. Similarly, the magnitude of broad-sense heritability and genetic advance as percent of mean was moderate to high for majority of traits, indicating additive gene action in their inheritance hence, amenable for simple selection. Correlation analysis revealed that paddy yield manifested significantly positive correlation with physiological maturity (r = 0.46**) and negative correlation with 1000-grain weight (r = -0.30*). The dendrogram grouped 14 into four clusters. Cluster IV incorporated the highest number of genotypes, which also had highest cluster mean for paddy yield. Therefore, prominence should be given to genotypes aggregated in cluster IV that having high yield potentiality. Based on mean performance, Irrigated-04, E-93, E-94 and E-107 showed superiority in respect of paddy yield and some other traits, hence these lines could be recommended for varietal development
FENOMENOLOGIA EXISTENCIAL DA MORTE: DA COMUNHÃO A ETERNIZAÇÃO DO SER AMADO
Authors: Silva Ezir George , Escola Joaquim José Jacinto , Röhr Ferdinand
Published: January 2018

A proposta inscreve-se nos debates sobre Filosofia, Ciências da Religião e Formação Humana. Seu objetivo é analisar, à luz das contribuições Filosóficas e Metafísicas de Gabriel Marcel, o modo como a Fenomenologia existencial da morte se desvela entre a comunhão e a eternização do ser amado. Neste sentido, procuramos problematizar as diferenças entre as concepções de Martin Heidegger e Karl Jaspers, por compreender que elas representam as reflexões que reconhecem o conceito de transcendência como o princípio que caracteriza a vida humana e suas respectivas relações numa determinada época. Trataremos sobre a metafísica da morte, da decisão existencial à eternização do ser, o fascínio da morte, o “ser-para-a-morte”, em Martin Heidegger, da minha morte à tua morte. Falaremos sobre a morte como situação-limite, em Karl Jaspers, a morte do ser amado. Veremos como a meditação sobre a morte dos seres que amamos abre, definitivamente, a grande via que permite a compreensão deste mistério em Marcel, enquanto fulcro existencial e fundamento daquilo que o Ser é no mais íntimo de sua condição humana. Pretendemos por um lado, interrogar sobre as diversas concepções acerca da morte e, por outro lado, equacionar as possibilidades da busca por um sentido formativo para existência humana. Recorremos a estas inquietações, no âmbito de uma sociedade marcada pelo primado da cultura da barbárie sobre o humano e da reprodução de saberes sobre o pensar e o fazer sócio-religioso.

Published: January 2018

O presente artigo é um dos produtos do projeto “Programa Ensino Religioso: recursos e formação” do GPER, que tem por objetivo pesquisar, além de recursos didáticos, a convergência entre a compreensão sobre os espaços sagrados, patrimônio cultural e o uso das redes sociais como parte do fazer pedagógico do professor/a de Ensino Religioso/Cultura Religiosa. Como pesquisa exploratória, de abordagem qualitativa, visa apresentar um percurso metodológico de apoio ao processo de educação da expressão religiosa para a sua aplicação na educação básica e superior. A atividade “Clique do Sagrado” consiste em fotografar, utilizando celular ou câmera fotográfica, uma cena do cotidiano ou espaço que remetesse a uma expressão religiosa. Pensar o outro disponível para uma nova interlocução criadora pode provocar uma ampliação de olhar e enriquecimento próprio com novas possibilidades de um processo que não acontece sem disposições prévias. Nesse contexto, então, é proposto o exercício de não apenas registrar fotograficamente a leitura do religioso, mas educar para o “saber olhar” o ser humano em sua diversidade de manifestações.

This work represents an expansion of the air-stable precatalyst toolbox for Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling transformations.
Azobenzene as a Photoregulator Covalently Attached to RNA: A Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics-Surface Hopping Dynamics Study
Authors: Mondal Padmabati , Granucci Giovanni , Rastädter Dominique , Persico Maurizio , Burghardt Irene
Published: January 2018

The photoregulation of nucleic acids by azobenzene photoswitches has recently attracted considerable interest in the context of emerging biotechnological applications. To understand the mechanism of photoinduced isomerisation and conformational control in these complex biological environments, we employ a Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics (QM/MM) approach in conjunction with nonadiabatic Surface Hopping (SH) dynamics. Two representative RNA-azobenzene complexes are investigated, both of which contain the azobenzene chromophore covalently attached to an RNA double strand via a beta-deoxyribose linker. Due to the pronounced constraints of the local RNA environment, it is found that trans-to-cis isomerization is slowed down to a time scale of ~15 picoseconds, in contrast to 500 femtoseconds in vacuo, with a quantum yield reduced by a factor of two. By contrast, cis-to-trans isomerization remains in a sub-picosecond regime. A volume-conserving isomerization mechanism is found, similarly to the pedal-like mechanism previously identified for azobenzene in solution phase. Strikingly, the chiral RNA environment induces opposite right-handed and left-handed helicities of the ground-state cis-azobenzene chromophore in the two RNA-azobenzene complexes, along with an almost completely chirality conserving photochemical pathway for these helical enantiomers.

Published: January 2018

El objetivo de este trabajo es discutir los enfoques y modelos para enseñar la creación de una obra teatral como una práctica creativa en la que el producto final "surge" del proceso de creación. Para entender y considerar la naturaleza de la creatividad, se discutirán teorías sobre el estado del flujo (Csikszentmihalyi, 1996), el estado de unidad (Yuasa, 1987, 1993) y prácticas diseñadas para aumentar la creatividad (Cameron, 2002). Al identificar aspectos compartidos dentro de estas teorías / prácticas, como la necesidad de no juicio, se considerarán los obstáculos comunes presentes en el proceso creativo. A través de estas consideraciones, se espera sugerir enfoques para enseñar el proceso de creación teatral, donde el objetivo es aumentar la confianza creativa y el potencial de los estudiantes. Este artículo se basará en ejemplos de enfoque y experiencia de mi propia práctica como actor y maestro / director.

El producto obtenido demostró la viabilidad del aprovechamiento de este tipo de residuos alimentarios.
Examination of the Relationship between Perfectionism Scores and Anger States in Physical Education and Sports Teacher Candidates
Authors: Çepikkurt Fatma
Published: January 2018

This study examined the relationship between perfectionism and anger states of Physical Education and Sports Teacher candidates (PESTC), and whether or not perfectionism sub-dimension scores were predictive of anger scores. A total of 130 students were participated. The Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale and The State-Trait Anger Scale were used to determine the perfectionism and anger states. Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Analysis results indicated that a positive significant relationship between socially prescribed perfectionism and the anger subscales state anger, anger-in and anger-out, while a negative significant relationship was found between socially prescribed perfectionism and anger-control. Additionally, Multi-Directional Regression Analysis results revealed that only socially prescribed perfectionism predicts anger subscale scores were at a significant level.  Self-oriented and other-oriented perfectionism were not found to be significant in the prediction of anger subscales. In conclusion, the perfectionism as a personality character for PESTC should not be result in anger behavior during physical education processes.

Authors: Sedlacek Jaromir , Jankovsky Pavel , Sagat Peter , Pistlova Lubica
Published: January 2018

In this research authors evaluate general physical fitness level of 606 Slovak universities students (344 boys and 262 girls). Physical fitness was evaluated with reduced Eurofit battery tests. We have available students from the Faculty of physical education and sports and from 8 different faculties. We compared these measured parameters with former Slovak population norms.  With questionnaire we learned used forms of student physical activities. Differences were evaluated with parametric un-pair t-test; we used *p<0.05, **p<0.01 significance levels.  In the contribution is shown that students of the FSPORT reached higher level of general motor performance with regard to other faculties or former populations. It seems that compulsory physical and sport education subjects on universities do not influence significantly positively physical fitness level; the same is watched with unpaid physical activities forms. Decisive role in general motor performance level increase have forms of practising physical activities in individual leisure time.
The Role of Facilitation Techniques in Gonarthrosis Recovery
Authors: Ochiană Gabriela
Published: January 2018

Numerous studies on people with gonarthrosis refer only to electrotherapy, shock-wave therapy, radon baths, and classical physical exercise; very few studies recall only the role of facilitating techniques in restoring functional knee parameters. This study was conducted on a total of 12 subjects diagnosed with gonarthrosis divided into 2 groups, group A followed a classical recovery program and group B a program consisting of facilitation techniques for a period of 6 months with a frequency of 3 sessions per week. The results obtained confirm the hypothesis that the parameters tested: pain, joint mobility, muscle strength and stability were noticeably improved in group B those who used  FNP techniques compared to group A and the duration of the session was only 35 minutes at group B, compared to 55 minutes group A.

The results showed that the greatest distance covered by a player was 2,476 m during the final testing session after the regular season. Therefore, we may conclude that according to the total distance covered in Yo-Yo IRTL1 players showed test results at the level of international players.
Social Environment Selected Aspects Determination by School Children Leisure Time Movement Activities
Authors: Teplicancova Maria , Almasiova Angela , Krska Peter , Sedlacek Jaromir
Published: January 2018

Social environment which the child comes from determines him in many spheres, including leisure activities. In the contribution we stressed on learning if school children differentiate in leisure time spending with regard on family size, parents´ employment (eventually their grant parents) and family income. Basic sample was created by 618 respondents – children parents with average age 39.9 years. Data analyse showed us that significant difference was confirmed in case of family income. This forms the prerequisite for higher volume of children movement activities. Rather surprising was result in our research that children of employed parents engage in leisure activities less than the number of unemployed parents. Also the fact that family size is not an aspect that would make children attending elementary and secondary school differentiate when choosing leisure time activities.

La interacción que existe entre radicales libres y los antioxidantes es muy importante para mantener la salud en el ser humano, ya que en el proceso de envejecimiento y en diferentes enfermedades relacionadas con la edad, los radicales libres inducen al estrés oxidativo, el cual puede ser inhibido por la acción de los antioxidantes endógenos del cuerpo en conjunto con los antioxidantes exógenos que se obtienen a través de la ingestión de algunos alimentos. Los radicales libres que comúnmente se producen durante el metabolismo aerobio son utilizados en diferentes mecanismos de defensa contra agentes infecciosos, a pesar de ello estas moléculas son altamente reactivas, y pueden dañar diversas biomoléculas de nuestras células. En este trabajo se presenta una visión general de los principales aspectos de los antioxidantes, se mencionan conceptos, clasificaciones y características de los radicales libres y de los diferentes sistemas de defensa antioxidante, se explican brevemente los mecanismos por los cuales se producen los daños de estas especies químicas sobre el organismo.
Weak Armendariz Zero Knowledge Cryptosystem
Authors: M. Abduldaim Areej
Published: January 2018

Innovative idea using ring theory is raised to build a new algorithm for zero knowledge (ZK) cryptosystem. In this paper we introduce an algorithm for zero knowledge protocol based on a specific kind of rings named weak Armendariz. On the other hand, the aim of this paper focuses on the category of noncommutative algebraic structures to describe a new algebraic scheme of zero knowledge proof using weak Armendariz rings. As a result, we employ for the first time weak Armendariz rings in the science of cryptographic which regards as a new application of this class of rings. Finally, we present a novel idea combining between abstract algebra and cryptography.
Deathly Sentimentalism: Sarah Fielding, Henry Mackenzie
Authors: Williams Jonathan C.
Published: January 2018

Regarding the eighteenth-century sentimental novel, critics have long argued that sentiment works to bond subjects and to accommodate subjects to society. The sentimental novel also teaches the reader how to die. Looking to Sarah Fielding’s The Adventures of David Simple (1744, 1753) and Henry Mackenzie’s The Man of Feeling (1771), I argue that the eighteenth-century sentimental novel deploys death as a figure for thinking about political critique and its limits. On their deathbeds, characters utter politically charged speeches, but cannot act upon their words, such that sentimental critique is both powerful and inoperative. Along the contours of a deathly sentimentalism there are slippages between resistance and passivity, between isolation and socialization. The sentimental novel bespeaks, in its emphasis upon mortality and its vexations, the difficulty of accommodating political expression in rhythm with the momentum of modern history.
Subsidy Landscapes and the Organizational Sociology of Scholarly Publishing
Authors: Lyall Nelson Eric
Published: January 2018

When shared among the publishers of a field, subsidies sustain the creation of varied forms of intellectual capital. The absence of subsidy regimes would likely lead to convergence around the kind of research most easily converted into financial capital. Subsidy landscapes that fail to counter the pressure to conform to market-oriented standards of organizational activity may allow such changes to happen in the nature of scholarship. Both Bourdieu and critical management studies warn us of the difficulties that can arise if we fail to see that subsidies are not only intended to balance book budgets but are also connected to a process of organizational knowledge accumulation on the part of publishers. Subsidies thus reveal the existence of publishing activities hidden from managerial views on organizations.
The New World of Republishing in Open Access: A View from the Author's Side
Authors: Watson Julia
Published: January 2018

In the United States, where scholars typically do not hold copyright to their published work, many essays they previously published are now available only from a journal publisher for a high access fee or from an out-of-print book. As twenty-first-century researchers seek overviews and coherent histories of the many fields of literary and cultural studies that emerged over the last three decades, how can older generations of scholars, who worked primarily in print venues, put previously published work into digitally accessible formats that will keep it in current conversations? And why might new scholars want to? The author describes a new mode of republishing one's past essays in open access online, as illustrated by her and her co-author's experience. They learned the nuts and bolts, and also discovered some pitfalls, of open access republishing, including obtaining permissions from corporate publishers, correcting PDF-to-Word conversions, identifying design elements helpful for online use, and marketing their own book.
Experimental evaluation of optimum process parameters for spinning of metals
Authors: Feyzioglu Ahmet
Published: January 2018

During the shear forming process, precision, repeatability and reproducibility are significant factors to be considered while rotating the workpiece to shape it in the form of the mandrel. Final thickness of the material is dependent on the initial thickness and mandrel angle. The projected area of the final product is nearly equal to the area of the initial workpiece. On the other hand, high feed ratios may lead to cracking and low feed ratios reduce the workability and thickness of the material by causing overexpansion of the material in the radial direction. As the spinning ratio increases, the process becomes difficult. If the process is not carried out cautiously, some defects, such as wrinkling, tearing or cracking, may occur in the spun part. These are caused by applying unacceptable feeds and rpms to the material and diameter. Problems such as wrinkling, tearing or cracking can be addressed by applying the optimum rpm and velocity values with respect to the material being worked on. Several methods have been used to predict the behavior of the material during spinning. For example, during shear spinning, the surface roughness and required force can be determined by regression analysis. In this study, the correlation among optimum rpm, velocity, mandrel angle, and the initial and final thicknesses of metals during shear formation was evaluated.
Optimization of welding parameters for DP600/TRIP800 dissimilar joints
Authors: Marwan Khaled Omer H. , Kaçar Ramazan
Published: January 2018

The widespread application of resistance spot welding in automotive body assemblies has made it mandatory for automotive manufacturers to examine the quality of the welding. A variety of destructive and nondestructive tests are applied and the weld nugget size is examined for inspection for weld quality. Because of the wide variety of welding parameters used in the spot welding, a welding diagram which gives the optimum weldability range for the welded material is required and extensively used. Due to the different chemical, physical and mechanical properties of different materials in dissimilar joints, it is difficult to evaluate the quality of the weld. In this study, the DP600/TRIP800 dissimilar steel couple was joined using resistance spot welding by combining various welding parameters including welding current, welding time and electrode force. The tensile shear test was applied for determining relationship between welding parameters and mechanical properties of weldment. For quality inspection, the weld nugget size and microstructure of welded sample was examined metallographically and the welding diagram dedicated to the optimum weldability range was also developed for dissimilar joints.

Published: January 2018

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of seawater on bearing strength of glass-epoxy laminated composites. The ratio of the edge distance to pin diameter (E/D) was changed from 1 to 5 and that of the specimen width to pin diameter (W/D) was selected as 3 and 4 for this study. The hole of the specimen was subjected to a traction force induced by a pin. Laminated composite plates were manufactured at the Company Izoreel Composites. Tension tests were performed on pinned joint specimens with a stacking sequence of [0/90]3S. The specimens were immersed in seawater of the Aegean Sea having a salinity of about 3.5 wt.-% in a glass aquarium at laboratory for 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. For each period of immersion time, failure modes and maximum failure loads of the specimens were found experimentally. The maximum reduction of the bearing strength was obtained as 38% for E/D = 3 and W/D = 3 due to the seawater effect.
