Quality of life in the city, quality of urban life or well-being in the city: Conceptualization and case study
Authors: Murgaš František , Klobučník Michal
Published: July 2018

Quality of life research responds to the growth of urbanization in the world by increasing the focus on the quality of urban life; however, the dominant applied research tends to be without conceptualization of the quality of urban life. The aim of this paper is to answer the question whether the quality of urban life exists as an original, separate part of the concept of quality of life, or whether only the quality of life or the well-being of a certain city exists. The authors argue that the quality of urban life exists as an original category of quality of life and their beliefs are based on the fact that it can be measured separately. The quality of urban life is holistic, co-existing with the quality of life. The city from the point of view of quality of life research is a place, and the quality of urban life is the satisfaction with life in a city and the quality of place in it. This approach is applied to the quality of urban life and its measurement in the city of Liberec. The results are implications for policy-makers and urbanists.
Challenges of BIM technology application in project planning
Authors: Ustinovičius Leonas , Puzinas Arūnas , Starynina Jovita , Vaišnoras Mantas , Černiavskaja Oksana , Kontrimovičius Robertas
Published: July 2018

The study aimes at identification of the difficulties in choosing the correct concept of the main building process. The use of a proper BIM design may help the user avoid mistakes and make the building process faster as well as less financial resource intensive. The authors focused on literature review, analysing the difficulties of the BIM design software technology in construction project planning. The biggest flaws in BIM design are inherent in three building process stages: 1) the preparation of a building investment project, and the analysis of the existing situation; 2) the preparation of the building execution technology project; 3) the existing standard processing and information collection in building exploitation period. The analysis shows a persistent need for a deeper BIM design research, to improve information interchange formats that would ensure as much design information saved as possible with ensured feedback. As well as in BIM design, the software packages must be improved by supplementing them with deficient tools or programme codes. After the research of BIM design software, it was determined that architectural, constructional and MEP programs work best interdependently and get analysed the most. These programs work best as they make the least number of mistakes when the model is created in one setting and has many tools. This type of design software data is kept internally, and they are converted into IFC or other information interchange format. Without changing the format, the data is not lost, and this is the reason behind fluent information interchange.
Intellectual property management in startups — problematic issues
Authors: Baran Agnieszka , Zhumabaeva Asel
Published: July 2018

This paper describes the most important problems related to the management of intellectual property in startups. Startups have become an inseparable element of the innovative economy. Many of these companies base their development on intellectual capital and innovations. In this context, it is extremely important to legally secure the innovations and protect intellectual property. These activities can often be the decisive factor in the development of startups. This article aims to identify, analyse and evaluate the most important issues related to the management of intellectual property in startups. The first part of this paper presents the performed literature review, which mainly concerns the definition of innovation, the state of entrepreneurship in Poland, and the definition of a startup. The second part of the article deals with the main problems related to the management of intellectual property in startups. It is divided into three issues: underestimating the importance of intellectual property, the lack of intellectual property management strategies in startups and financial challenges of startups. The main results of the research indicate that many startups still have low awareness of what is intellectual property and what can be the consequence of using exclusive rights of others. The protection of intellectual property should become one of the elements of business strategies. However, startups find that the creation of the strategy and its implementation is rather expensive.

Published: July 2018

The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential protective role of Agrimonia eupatoria L. in heavy metal induced nephrotoxicity. Rabbit kidney epithelial cells (RK13) were used as the model cell line. They were exposed to three different heavy metal compounds: cadmium chloride dihydrate CdCl2.2H2O (15 and 20 mg.l−1), potassium dichromate K2Cr2O7 (1, 10 mg.l−1), and zinc sulfate heptahydrate ZnSO4.7H2O (50, 150 mg.l−1) simultaneously with agrimony (ethanolic extract, 100 mg.l−1). The cell response was recorded using the xCELLigence system or real-time cell analysis (RTCA) as a cell index (CI) and expressed as cell adherence (%) compared to control cells without treatment. The potential nephroprotective effects were recorded in cells treated with chromium (1 a 10 mg.l−1) and agrimony, where the cell adherence increased from 95.11 ± 11.25 % and 7.24 ± 0.33 % to 103.26 ± 1.23 % and 68.54 ± 4.89 % (P < 0.05) respectfully and also with a combination of agrimony and zinc (150 mg.l−1), where the adherence increased from 57.45 ± 1.98 % to 95.4 ± 6.95 %. During the cell exposure to cadmium in combination with agrimony, the protective effect was not recorded; the adherence of cells was even decreased (P < 0.05).
About the Ability to Be in Two Places at Once
Authors: Stemberger Gerhard
Published: July 2018

In 1915 the Danish psychologist Edgar Rubin describes in his famous work on figure-ground perception, the phenomenon that when you look attentively at a picture, a second, virtual ego arises, breaking away from the viewer-ego to wander around in the picture along the contours of the depicted. In 1982, German Gestalt psychologist Edwin Rausch expanded this observation of the emergence of a second phenomenal ego to the conclusion that not only does a second phenomenal ego emerge, but with it a second phenomenal total field, ie a second phenomenal world with its own phenomenal ego and an own phenomenal environment of this ego.

Several years ago, I proposed a multi-field-approach in psychotherapy building on this research. This approach involves three levels:

First, the level of phenomenological observation and psychological analysis of the conditions that determine the formation of such a second total field (and even further total fields), regardless of whether this occurs spontaneously or intentionally or as a result of external influences.

Second, the level of explanation of various psychic processes, which in the field of psychotherapy have been explained so far mainly on the basis of depth psychology, and the conceptualization of the therapeutic situation and therapeutic processes from a Gestalt psychological perspective.

Third, finally, the level of practical application of such insights on the development of appropriate procedures and interventions that can promote or defer the emergence of such second or multiple fields in psychotherapy.

The present article introduces the multi-field approach, especially at the first level, and refers to research and discussion on mind wandering, imagining, daydreaming and dissociation.
Productive Thinking in Place of Problem-Solving?
Authors: Lumbelli Lucia
Published: July 2018

Why and how is the Gestalt theorists’ concept of productive thinking particularly suitable for being applied to the educational question of how student motivation can be encouraged, thus providing an important condition for self-regulated, intrinsically motivated learning?

An answer to this question has been sought using an approach to the fostering of text comprehension ability, based upon the features specific to productive thinking, originally identified by Wertheimer (1945) and Duncker (1935).

Firstly, these specific features are dealt with and their educational implications compared with those deriving from the definitions of problem-solving used most frequently in educational research. Secondly, an analysis is made of the process by which the features specific to productive thinking are turned into the conditions for a kind of text analysis suitable for designing an instructional project aimed at enhancing text comprehension ability and, at the same time, encouraging intrinsic motivation and self-regulation on the part of the learner. Thirdly, an educational project centred on the thinking-aloud poor reader is described, where thinking aloud and reflection–response are combined in order to guarantee the maximum level of intrinsic motivation. In the concluding section, the most important features of the project are discussed in relation to reciprocal teaching and scaffolding.
The Primary Intersubjectivity and the Gestalt Theory
Authors: Arfelli-Galli Anna
Published: July 2018

For the study of the first year of life, Sander, Stern, and Gomez each chose the adult–infant relationship as the unit of analysis; they followed its development, respectively, in moments of meeting, in the proto-conversation and in the focus of attention. The authors explicitly refer to the Gestalt theory and support the need to interpret the behavior of the child as part of a wider context, as the experiences of a person in relation (Galli, 2010) since birth.
Hier bin Ich: Wo bist Du?
Authors: Chiandetti Cinzia
Published: July 2018

Since its first description, the imprinting phenomenon has been deeply investigated, and researchers can nowadays provide profound knowledge of its functioning. Here, I present how this peculiar form of early exposure learning can be used as a strategy to study animal cognition. Starting from imprinting as a social trigger for the domestic chick (Gallus gallus) and combining it with the unique possibility of accurate control of sensory experiences in this animal model, I present evidence that in artificial environments, imprinting serves as a rigorous test of the core domains of cognition. Whether basic cognitive concepts are already present at birth or whether they need extensive experience to develop are questions that can be addressed in precocial birds and still, following the tradition of the seminal works made by Lorenz, can inform on human cognitive processing.
“The Year Replaces the Year.”1 Udmurt Spring Ceremonies among the Non-Christian Udmurt: An Ethnographic Analysis of Contemporary Ritual Life (On Materials from Varkled-Böd’ya Village)
Authors: Toulouze Eva , Anisimov Nikolai
Published: July 2018

The authors had the opportunity, during their fieldwork, to attend spring rituals in Varkled-Böd’ya village. The week before the Great Day (Bydjynnal, coinciding with Orthodox Easter) is a dense ritual week: there are young people to be initiated, boys first and girls at the concluding ritual, who thus become adults; there are evil spirits to be chased away from the space of the living; there are kin relations to be reinforced through reciprocal visits, prayers and ritual deeds. These four rituals are the focus of this article, which provides an ethnographic account as well as a general analysis of the critical dimensions observed.
A Demand - and Supply- Side Constrained Model for Liquidation Value and Related Exposure Periods
Authors: Michaletz Vladimir B. , Artemenkov Andrey
Published: July 2018

Two problems appear to be most topical in conjunction with mortgage valuation practices during an economic crisis: the assessment of sustainable long-term mortgage values and the assessment of liquidation discounts to prevailing market values which would provide for the most advantageous liquidation/quick sale strategy. This paper addresses the latter issue, which has traditionally proven intractable to analytical modeling. Apart from reviewing some research devoted to the subject of liquidation value modeling, predominantly from the Eastern European perspective, where this issue has, for years, commanded a particular economic interest, this paper synthesizes the best features of this research and builds on it to propose its own model, which lays equal emphasis on both the sellerside and demand-side perspectives. The first perspective accounts for the financial interests of a lender in forced sale disposals, while the latter perspective engages economic analysis on the side of market feasibility of identified efficient lender disposal strategies. By negotiating both perspectives, an optimal analytic solution to the issue of liquidation value discounts can be obtained. This is achieved by what we call a SI-MI framework which is developed throughout the paper.

We also adapt this framework specifically to the mortgage banking context where we use it to bring to light some rarely discussed linkages between the LTV policies of a bank and its mortgage liquidation strategies. This also allows us to propose a model and an LTV formula which can help organize thinking about optimal LTV policies in credit issuing processes.

We hope that, with the re-appearance of liquidation value basis/premise of valuation as a recognized international basis of valuation in the new edition of the International Valuation Standards (IVS 2017), the findings of this paper will become topical.
Rules and Conditions for Placing Advertisements in Public Space Based on Examples of Selected Polish Cities
Authors: Płuciennik Monika
Published: July 2018

The changes in law introduced by the so-called “Act on Landscape Protection” (Act on amending certain acts in connection with the strengthening of landscape protection tools of 24 April 2015) obliged local territorial self-government units to define the rules and conditions regarding the placement of street furniture, signboards and other advertisement carriers and fencing. The aim of the discussed local legislation act is, in particular, to define urban space used for the display of advertisements along with the determination of the size, quality standards and type of construction materials from which signboards and other advertising devices may be produced. The determination of urban space for the display of advertisements is a broad and multi-faceted issue. There are certain limitations that hinder or prevent the placement of posters, banners, signboards or advertising panels in public space. The study presents the measures taken by local territorial self-government units with respect to the placement of advertisements in selected Polish cities and attempts to compare and evaluate the rules and conditions for placing signboards and advertising devices in public space.

Photoluminescence and point defect related emission of ZnO:Mn2+ micro/nanorod fabricated by co-precipitation method
Authors: Nguyen Xuan Sang
Published: July 2018

Herein we study point defects and correlation to photoluminescence in ZnO nanorod. ZnO mirco/nanorod structure was successfully fabricated by co-precipitation method with highly homogeneous characteristics. When ion Mn+2 introduced into ZnO structure, the d-spacing distance of ZnO was increased from 0.248 nm to 0.295 nm due to the larger ionic radius of Mn2+ in comparison to Zn2+. The photoluminescence emission evolution of ZnO through doping and annealing processes hinted the relation of point defect transformations. We found that zinc interstitial, zinc vacancy and its related defects were responsible mainly for photoluminescence emission in annealing and/or Mn2+ doped samples.

Industrialisasi Dan Berkembangnya Kota Malang Pada Awal Abad ke-20
Authors: Saffanah Winin Maulidya
Published: July 2018

Kehadiran Kota Malang sebagai Kotapraja pada tahun 1914 tidak dapat dilepaskan dari industrialisasi yang terjadi di kota tersebut pada awal abad ke-20. Kehadiran dua pabrik gula yaitu Kebon Agung dan Krebet Baru pada dekade 1900-an telah mendorong pertumbuhan Kota Malang dengan infrastruktur yang cukup memadai dan penduduk yang cukup padat. Pada dekade 1930-an, industri gula ini diganti dengan industri rokok sebagai salah satu penopang perkembangan kota Malang. Salah satu penyebab dari berdirinya pabrik-pabrik ini adalah diterbitkannya Undang-undang Gula dan Undang-undang Agraria pada tahun 1870. Kedua undang-undang ini menyebabkan wilayah Malang yang berada di dekat gunung dan cukup subur dibanjiri oleh modal swasta yang mendirikan berbagai perkebunan. Wilayah yang kelak menjadi Kota Malang sendiri merupakan titik pengumpulan yang juga ditinggali oleh banyak pemilik perekebunan sehingga akhirnya dibentuk infrastruktur yang memadai. Diresmikannya Kota Malang pada 1914 sendiri sangat terpengaruh dengan berdirinya banyak perkebunan dan industrialisasi ini. Kebutuhan akan infrastruktur yang memadai serta transportasi yang lancar membuat Kota Malang akhirnya berkembang sangat pesat dan memiliki segala fasilitas pendukung yang memadai. Seiring berjalannya waktu, industri ini tetap menjadi salah satu tulang punggung yang mendorong perekembangan Kota Malang.

Published: July 2018

El presente artículo científico esta direccionado a  identificar y describir rasgos de personalidad en padres de niños institucionalizados en el hogar infantil Tadeo Torres, en donde se ha  podido identificar  la resistencia y  asimilación a los procesos psicoterapéuticos que aquí se imparten. Los usuarios involucrados en esta población específica tienden a mostrar carencias afectivas o de convivencia, en el área familiar se ha podido observar escasas habilidades parentales, comportamentales, su nivel de educación y conocimientos sobre normas y reglas de interacción familiar son bajos. Al poseer escasa información puede provocar que los padres de niños institucionalizados no puedan discernir la importancia de cumplir su función dentro del núcleo familiar, esto sumado a su rasgos de personalidad que predominan en ellos puede dificultar la interrelación en su entorno familiar. Para la investigación se ha determinado utilizar una herramienta psicológica como es el cuestionario de personalidad SEAPsI, el mismo que fue aplicado a un universo especifico con una población de 16 padres de familia que acuden al Hogar Infantil Tadeo Torres.

Durante la evaluación hacia los participantes se utilizó como instrumentos de estudio el Inventario de Locus de Control de Rotter y la Escala de Evaluación del Cambio de la Universidad de Rhode Island (Urica), los cuales permitieron evidenciar que el 58 % presentó un locus de control interno y se encontraban en el estadio contemplativo, un 22 % perteneció al estadio de acción; mientras que los que corresponden a un locus externo obtuvieron bajos porcentajes durante los estadios de contemplación y acción representando el 10 % de la población, por lo tanto se pudo comprobar que existió una mayor prevalencia (58%) con un locus de control interno durante el estadio de contemplación.
Competencias de enfermería para el trabajo con Donantes Potenciales de Órganos (DPO). Estado del arte.
Authors: Hernández Ortiz Adonis Faustino
Published: July 2018

Durante los últimos años, el mundo ha presenciado grandes avances en la tecnología del trasplante de órganos, entendido como el procedimiento médico el cual se extraen tejidos de un cuerpo humano y se reimplantan en otro con el propósito de que el tejido trasplantado realice su nueva localización la misma función que realizaba previamente. La labor del trasplante no comienza en el acto mismo de sustituir un órgano por otro, sino que previo a ese paso, existen otros no menos importantes, que deben ser observados por los donantes y el personal de enfermería que recibe a los pacientes DPO. Las competencias que deben tener los enfermeros y enfermeras para realizar dicha labor, deben ser formadas desde las carreras, para poder insertarse exitosamente en cada paso del complejo proceso de salvar un órgano vital o un tejido para su trasplante. En este artículo, de corte bibliográfico, se enuncia como objetivo, actualizar el estado del arte sobre la temática para poder incorporar contenidos al currículo y a la formación de la licenciatura en Enfermería.
YAŞAM BOYU ÖĞRENME EKSENİNDE İŞSİZLİKLE MÜCADELEDE ÜNİVERSİTELERİN ROLÜ: TEORİK BİR ARAŞTIRMA VE MODEL ÖNERİSİ
Authors: KARAMAN Davut
Published: July 2018

Dünyada geçmişten
günümüze kadar ekonomik, sosyal ve kültürel olarak çok önemli değişimler
yaşamaktadır. Bu değişimlerin temelini ise bireylerin hayatları boyunca eğitim
almaları oluşturmaktadır. Bireylerin içinde bulundukları topluma ve yaşanan bu
hızlı değişimlere ayak uydurmaları gerekmektedir. Bireyin, kendisini sürekli
yenilemesi ile hem günlük hayatındaki hem de meslek hayatındaki gelişmeleri
yakından takip edebilmesi mümkün hale gelmektedir. Sürekli yenilenmenin,
nitelikli insan gücünün kaynağı ise yaşam boyu öğrenmedir. Bireyin olduğu her
yerde gerçekleşebilen yaşam boyu öğrenme işsizliği de azaltan önemli bir
unsurdur. Yaşam boyu öğrenme son yıllarda başta Avrupa olmak üzere tüm dünyada
ve ülkemizde eğitim alanında yürütülen çalışmalar arasında öncelikli konuma
gelmiştir. Zaman, yaş, eğitim düzeyi gibi eğitim engeli olabilecek her türlü
kısıtlamayı ortadan kaldıran yaşam boyu öğrenmenin uygulanmasında ise
üniversitelere önemli görevler düşmektedir.

Bu çalışmada yaşam
boyu öğrenme kapsamlı bir şekilde ele alınmış, ilgili literatür araştırmaları
ile işsizliğe olan etkisi ortaya konulmuştur. Üniversitelerin yaşam boyu
öğrenme konusunda fonksiyonu ele alınarak, bireysel ve kurumsal gelişim için rolü
incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak refah seviyesinin artırılmasında yaşam boyu öğrenme
faaliyetlerinin uygulanmasının gerekliliği ortaya konulan bir model önerisi ile
açıklanmıştır.
How Register Tells the Story in Scriabin’s Op. 22, No. 2
Authors: Kutnowski Martin
Published: July 2018

In Scriabin's Prelude Op. 22, No. 2, published in 1897, register unleashes a conflict between phrase rhythm and voice leading. A four-measure prototype is first established; a registral singularity within the prototype forces a phrase expansion in the second half of the piece. This deliberate conflict reveals a sophisticated compositional voice and helps us appreciate the artistry of Scriabin’s style in his early piano works.
A Tonal Revolution in Fifths and Semitones: Aaron Copland’sQuiet City
Authors: Heetderks David J.
Published: July 2018

Tonal ambiguity in Aaron Copland’sQuiet City, a feature frequently noted by critics, results from a radical reorganization of the constituent elements of tonality. Many sections of the work eschew triads and, in lieu of tonal progressions and key centers, the work shifts between referential collections and emphasizes pitches through salience. This paper creates a perfect fifth/semitoneTonnetzto model two ofQuiet City’smost notable features: motives built from pentatonic subsets and semitonal shifts. TheTonnetzreveals isomorphisms between melodic motives and characteristic shifts between pitch-class collections, and it shows that climactic sections feature dramatic reversals of motion. Pattern completion—a voice-leading technique in which a missing note from a collection established as normative sounds conspicuously—articulates points of arrival and confirms central pitches. This analysis shows thatQuiet Citytransforms the relations among the constituent elements of tonality in order to further explore the potential of the tonal system, an avowed aesthetic goal of Copland’s.
Music, Memory and Memes in the Light of Calvinian Neuroscience
Authors: Jan Steven
Published: July 2018

This article explores the interface between evolutionary thought, cognitive science, and music theory. It focuses on how patterns hypothesized to function as memes in music are encoded neurobiologically, using ideas developed by the American theoretical neurophysiologist William Calvin. After recapitulating the precepts and predictions of Universal Darwinism and meme theory as to what might constitute a meme in music, I outline current understanding of the psychology of musical memory before summarizing Calvin’s general Darwinian-neurobiological perspective on information storage and recall. Then I relate memetics and psychology/neurobiology by hypothesizing how certain types of musical memes might be implemented by Calvinian mechanisms. I conclude by considering neural network models of memory, one system developed by Gjerdingen aligning broadly with certain aspects of Calvinian theory.
Looking Beyond the Score
Authors: Schutz Michael , Manning Fiona
Published: July 2018

Performing musicians frequently use physical gestures that are more elaborate than required for sound production alone. Such movements are not prescribed in traditional musical scores, nor are they evident in audio recordings, and consequently they are rarely regarded as integral to a formal musical analysis. However, there is growing evidence that these movements do in fact alter an audience’s listening experience—i.e., the way a performance “sounds.” Therefore, we believe that analyses of these movements can inform more traditional analyses of notes and rhythms by lending insight into the way in which these musical elements areperceived. Here, we review research on the role of gestures in shaping the musical experience, focusing in particular on gestures used by percussionists to control perceived note duration. This paper embraces the multi-media affordances ofMusic Theory Onlineby integrating stimuli from key experiments—the first publication of these materials. Our aim is not only to summarize a growing body of work on the musical role of extra-acoustic factors such as ancillary gestures, but also to present new avenues of musical research that complement existing approaches.
Ambiguity of Tonal Meaning in Chopin’s Prelude op. 28, no. 22
Authors: Hood Alison
Published: July 2018

This paper focuses on Chopin’s Prelude in G minor, op. 28, no. 22, which derives its passionate character from its particularly individual treatment of tonal and rhythmic ambiguity. The upbeat to the theme of the Prelude (rhythmically distinctive as it includes the only sixteenth note in the entire piece) is tonally ambiguous. In some of its appearances, it seems to have two conflicting interpretive possibilities, functioning as dominant and tonic harmony at the same time—supporting ".fn_scaledegree(2)." and ".fn_scaledegree(3).". The Schenkerian analytical notation employed in this paper follows guidelines for which Steve Larson uses the term “strict use.” This analytical method clearly depicts the remarkable ways in which the motto seems to present simultaneous conflicting meanings. Ambiguity not only characterizes the surface of this work, but it also permeates various levels of structure, and encompasses both harmony and meter.
Rethinking Octatonicism
Authors: Ewell Philip A.
Published: July 2018

Recent and long-standing debates about the role of octatonicism in works by Stravinsky and other late-chromatic and early-modernist composers have taken place with little mention of how octatonicsim is viewed in Russia—the country of Stravinsky’s birth and formative years as a composer. In this article, the author seeks to put music that is often considered octatonic in North America into a Russian framework. He does this by examining the work of three Russian music theorists: Boleslav Yavorsky, Sergei Protopopov, and Yuri Kholopov. The author seeks not to invalidate American views on octatonicism but, rather, to enrich the current discussion with Russian perspectives.
