Authors: POUYA Sahar
Published: November 2019

Using a large amount of land, energy, and material, universities have a major effect on sustainability in particular environmental sustainability. Over the last decade, a large number of green projects have been performed in the campus of leading universities. The matter is that sustainability of the campuses cannot be achieved without considering the student’s dimension including their perception, preferences, evaluation, and participation. The aim of this work is to analyze the relationship between the students’ perception and the efficiency of sustainability programs especially sustainable landscaping on the university campuses. This work surveys the ITU’s students’ attitudes and perspectives about what has been operated as the sustainable landscape on the green open lands and also their preferences of the campus landscape considering what they know about sustainability concept. To perform the research, 100 students of ITU were asked to complete a questionnaire including various parts covering the subject. This research strongly suggests that universities should provide the students with the practical programs and opportunities for cooperation on the campus so that they can participate in the programs aiming for sustainability improvement.
Effect of container geometry on colloids removal from water in oscillation-based flocculation
Authors: Halfi Eran , Brenner Asher , Katoshevski David
Published: November 2019

Colloid removal in water treatment plants is commonly done by a sequence of processes that includes coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration. The current study presents an innovative technique, termed grouping, for the removal of these suspended particles based on physical flow manipulation, which causes the particles to aggregate. Previous results showed that gentle oscillation in a cylindrical container facilitates simultaneous flocculation and sedimentation in the same reactor over shorter periods of time than are possible using the conventional treatment approach. This finding may confer marked improvements on the processes used today by enabling the use of both smaller reactors and less energy. Based on the findings with the cylindrical vessel, here the grouping technique is further examined in a rectangular container and over a range of different initial turbidities. The results indicate that the removal efficiency is higher in the rectangular container under the different initial turbidities tested. In addition, the removal efficiency was shown to remain robust with the decreases in initial turbidity and alum concentrations that occur during treatment. The positive results of our previous study taken together with this finding hint at the strong potential of the grouping technique to improve common flocculation processes.

Zarys fenomenologii solidarności: O genezie konstytuowania się grup
Authors: Płotka Witold
Published: November 2019

Artykuł jest próbą sformułowania fenomenologii solidarności jako zjawiska społecznego. Autor odróżnia solidaryzację subiektywną od intersubiektywnej, podkreślając, że w tym drugim przypadku ma się do czynienia z konstytucją grup. Artykuł jest podzielony na trzy zasadnicze części. W pierwszej z nich analizuje się tzw. problem mostu, czyli prezentuje się zasadność przejścia od analizy solidaryzacji subiektywnej do intersubiektywnej. Punktem wyjścia są przy tym teorie Ingardena i Tischnera. Następnie prezentuje się opis struktury i elementów solidarności jako aktu złożonego. Na tej podstawie autor formułuje zarys alternatywnego ujęcia solidarności jako konstytucji grup i odniesienia się do świata jako wspólnego.
Typy i funkcje refleksji w myśli tomistycznej
Authors: Sośnicka Joanna
Published: November 2019

W nowożytności refleksja została utożsamiona z przedmiotem poznania filozoficznego. Epistemologia przejęła znaczny zakres badań metafizyki, przez co racjonalizm oddalał się od realizmu, a realizm od konkretnie istniejącego bytu. Odmienne teorie poznania i przedmiotu suponowały wewnętrznie spójne, choć różniące się systemy filozoficzne. Pojęcie refleksji nabrało swoistego znaczenia w filozofii i po dziś dzień odgrywa istotną rolę w rozumieniu przedmiotu poznania i poznającego podmiotu.    Św. Tomasz z Akwinu używa rzeczowników reflexio oraz reditio. Znaczenie łacińskiego słowa reditio – „ruch powrotny” podkreśla naturalny dynamizm poznania ludzkiego. Ruch realizuje się w pełni w powrocie do swego źródła, zataczając koło, które zaczyna się w kontakcie podmiotu poznającego z przedmiotem, a kończy w ubogaconym doświadczeniem podmiocie. Refleksja jest tym ruchem, dzięki któremu człowiek poznaje, że poznaje, a w pełni poznaje, kiedy już poznał. Funkcje refleksji pozwala scharakteryzować podział na refleksję towarzyszącą reflexio in actu exercito oraz refleksję sygnitywną reflexio in actu signato. Wiąże ona więc świadomość w tożsamość „Ja”, czyli tożsamość ludzką, nadając jej koherentny, podmiotowy sens strukturalizujący się poprzez poznawanie zewnętrznie istniejących przedmiotów.
PERSPEKTYWA BADAŃ NAD PRAWEM RZYMSKIM W KONTEKŚCIE PRAWA MUNICYPALNEGO
Authors: Sitek Bronisław
Published: November 2019

Rozwój techniki i technologii wywiera coraz większy wpływ na nauki prawne. Młodzi prawnicy coraz częściej zajmują się problemami prawnymi z zastosowaniem metody prawnoporównawczej, ale też sięgają do interdyscyplinarności, czego rezultatem są opracowania z pogranicza ekonomii, psychologii, biologii czy informatyki. W tej optyce nauki historyczne coraz bardziej są marginalizowane, co widać chociażby po tendencji zmniejszania liczby godzin dydaktycznych dla historii prawa, w tym dla prawa rzymskiego. Konieczne jest zatem poszukiwanie takich problemów, które mogą być potencjalnym elementem w budowaniu argumentacji przez pozytywistów. Niewątpliwie takim obszarem jest prawo municypalne, które może być inspiracją dla współczesnych rozwiązań, jak chociażby wprowadzenie kadencyjności organów samorządowych.
WPŁYW NOWYCH TECHNOLOGII NA ZAGADNIENIE FORM TESTAMENTU W POLSKIM PRAWIE SPADKOWYM
Authors: Świrgoń-Skok Renata
Published: November 2019

W niniejszym artykule przybliżono kwestie związane z formą testamentu. Polski ustawodawca w art. 949-958 kodeksu cywilnego przewidział przepisy o formie testamentu oraz wskazał, że testament sporządzony z ich naruszeniem jest nieważny. W kontekście tych regulacji, a także dyskusji na temat zmian w polskim prawie cywilnym, konieczne wydaje się zastanowienie, czy aktualnie obowiązujące przepisy w zakresie formy testamentu przystają do współczesnych realiów, w tym rozwoju nowych technologii. Jedną z form uwspółcześnienia polskiego prawa spadkowego jest postulowany przez część doktryny postulat wprowadzenia do kodeksu cywilnego testamentu elektronicznego lub wideotestamentu.
REGUŁA ‘PACTA SUNT SERVANDA’ I POCZĄTKI ZASADY SWOBODY UMÓW
Authors: Kacprzak Agnieszka
Published: November 2019

Jak powszechnie wiadomo, swoboda umów awansowała do rangi podstawowej zasady prawa kontraktowego w doktrynach prawnonaturalnych epoki oświecenia. Jej korzenie są jednak znacznie głębsze, sięgają bowiem myśli średniowiecznych kanonistów, którzy jako pierwsi głosili tezę o wiążącym charakterze jednostronnych przyrzeczeń, nawet tych nieformalnych. Od tych pierwszych początków do pełnego uznania zasdy swobody umów prowadziła jednak długa droga. Celem przedłożonego artykułu jest ustalenie kluczowych momentów tego rozwoju. Przyczynili się do niego przedstawiciele wielu różnych nurtów myślowych: od wczesnośredniowiecznej kanonistyki, poprzez drugą scholastykę ze szkoły w Salamance, po teorie prawnonaturalne początków oświecenia. Inaczej niż w dotychczasowej literaturze, nie jest intencją autorki ustalenie dokładnego momentu powstania omawianej zasady ani tym bardziej przypisanie jej autorstwa jednemu ze wskazanych nurtów. Zgodnie z proponowaną tezą zasada swobody umów w jej współczesnym kształcie powstała w wyniku interakcji wszystkich tych tradycji, przy czym wkład intelektualny każdej z nich był równie istotny. Artykuł skupia się na historii pojęć, takich jak ogólne pojęcie kontraktu, jego relacja do przyrzeczenia, koncepcja woli jako źródła zobowiązania kontraktowego oraz moralne uzasadnienie mocy wiążącej kontraktów nieformalnych.

Potential Involvement of Impaired Venous Outflow from the Brain in Neurodegeneration: Lessons Learned from the Research on Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency
Authors: Simka Marian , Skuła Marcin
Published: November 2019

About 10 years ago, the so-called chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency syndrome was discovered. This clinical
entity, which is associated with extracranial venous abnormalities that impair venous outflow from the brain, was initially
found exclusively in multiple sclerosis patients. Currently, we know that such venous lesions can also be revealed in other
neurological pathologies, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Although direct causative role of chronic cerebrospinal
venous insufficiency in these neurological diseases still remains elusive, in this paper, we suggest that perhaps an abnormal
venous drainage of the brain affects functioning of the glymphatic system, which in turn results in the accumulation of
pathological proteins in the cerebral tissue (such as β-synuclein, β-amyloid and α-synuclein) and triggers the venous outflow
from the cranial cavity and circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid in the settings of neurodegenerative disease.

Authors: Kosilov Kirill , Amedzawa Hiroki , Kuzina Irina , Kuznetsov Vladimir , Kosilova Liliya
Published: November 2019

Aim:

The study of the impact of socio-economic, demographic factors and polymorbidity
on the quality of life associated with health (HRQoL) in elderly people from Japan and Russia.

Background:

Factors affecting the quality of life of the elderly in both countries are poorly understood.

Objective:

Make a comparative analysis of factors affecting the quality of life of the elderly of both
sexes in Japan and Russia.

Methods:

The age range in this study is 65-95 years old. For the study of HRQoL, a questionnaire
Health Status Survey-Short Form 36v2 was used, including two main domains: physical and mental
health. The level of polymorbidity was studied using CIRS-G. The linear regression model of the
influence of variables upon HRQoL was calculated for SES, demographic characteristics, and morbidity.

Results:

Strong associations with HRQoL in the combined sample had a living together with relatives
(r=6.94 (5.17-8.72) p<0,05), the incidence rate (r=8.50 (5.51-11.49), p<0.01) and the older
age (r=5.39 (2.63-8.16), p<0,01.). The elderly inhabitants of Japan had a higher self-assessment for
physical health in the age ranges 65-74 and over 85 years old (p<0.05), and a higher selfassessment
of mental health at the age of 75-84 years old. Sixty-eight elderly Japanese and 48%
Russians estimated their physical health as normal.

Conclusion:

The effect of living together, morbidity and age upon HRQoL is manifested equally
strongly both among the inhabitants of Japan and among the Russians. The elderly Japanese estimate
the state of physical and mental health as a whole higher than their Russian peers.
Comparative Analysis on the Elastic Behavior of Composite Materials Based on Plant Fibers: Bamboo / Epoxy and Coconut / Epoxy
Authors: Mokaddem Allel , Doumi Bendouma , Belkheir Mohammed , Touimi Amina
Published: November 2019

Background:

The exploitation by the industries of vegetable fibers in the field of composite materials has made it possible to reduce the dependency of oil which is the result of their mechanical properties, their thermal resistance and biodegradability.

Methods:

In this work, we carried out a comparative study by a genetic simulation on two materials based on different natural reinforcements (Bamboo and Coconut) to see the influence of its fibers on the elastic behavior of bio-composite materials.

Results:

The results of our genetic simulation showed that Bamboo / Epoxy is more resistant than Coconut / Epoxy and that shear damage of Bamboo / Epoxy is lower than that of Coconut / Epoxy by 11 to 12.5%.

Conclusion:

The results are similar to the results given by Rao KMM where he showed by experimental tests that Bamboo fiber is the most resistant when compared with other fibers especially coconut fiber.
Impact of Collaborative Leadership in Dental School Team Clinics
Authors: Tang Wylie Chen , Kingsley Karl , Reinke Robin
Published: November 2019

Dental students’ ability to critique team performance in dental school team clinics is a key component of dental education. The aim of this study was to determine if students’ perceptions of their team leaders’ openness of communication, cooperative decision making, and well‐defined goals were positively related to the students’ improvement‐oriented voice behavior and willingness to raise concerns in the clinical environment. This study used a voluntary 12‐question survey, distributed via email to all 311 students at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas School of Dental Medicine after completion of the spring 2017 semester. Eighty‐seven students responded, for a response rate of 28%. Responses were stratified by team, class year, and gender, and the quantitative distribution of answers to each question was correlated with each other. Team leader collaborative qualities, which included openness for communication, cooperative decision making, and well‐defined goals, were found to have a significant positive relationship with students’ willingness to both raise concerns and make suggestions. Additionally, when measured by class year and gender, team differences in voice behavior assessment by students across the teams were found to be independent of class year, and no significant differences were found by gender. These results suggested that, to maintain high levels of communication, proper reporting of concerns, and a high standard of care, dental schools should encourage team leaders to enhance their capacity to present active collaborative behaviors in the school's clinic. The study also highlighted potential opportunities for further study of faculty traits and development in the dental school team model.

Authors: A T B
Published: November 2019

Enactment of Occupational Safety and Health Act (1994) and aggressive efforts have been taken to ensure the safety of workers in the construction industry. This study employs an experimental study. Three hundred trainees divided into four groups, and data collections involve 2 phases which the first level require training for safety hazards identifications in traditional training classroom while another aspect of study include a virtual reality site visit. Results show that there is a significant difference in trainee's achievements for safety hazard identification assignments and examination between the training of hazard identification in a traditional construction site visit and mobile virtual reality construction site. Findings approve the hypothesis that learning is significantly higher at a virtual construction site rather than a construction site visit and traditional classroom. To conclude, a virtual reality learning environment offers other learning platforms for millennials.

Authors: de Cock Caroline , Milne-Ives Madison , van Velthoven Michelle Helena , Alturkistani Abrar , Lam Ching , Meinert Edward
Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND

Conversational agents (also known as chatbots) have evolved in recent decades to become multimodal, multifunctional platforms with potential to automate a diverse range of health-related activities supporting the general public, patients, and physicians. Multiple studies have reported the development of these agents, and recent systematic reviews have described the scope of use of conversational agents in health care. However, there is scarce research on the effectiveness of these systems; thus, their viability and applicability are unclear.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this systematic review is to assess the effectiveness of conversational agents in health care and to identify limitations, adverse events, and areas for future investigation of these agents.

METHODS

The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols will be used to structure this protocol. The focus of the systematic review is guided by a population, intervention, comparator, and outcome framework. A systematic search of the PubMed (Medline), EMBASE, CINAHL, and Web of Science databases will be conducted. Two authors will independently screen the titles and abstracts of the identified references and select studies according to the eligibility criteria. Any discrepancies will then be discussed and resolved. Two reviewers will independently extract and validate data from the included studies into a standardized form and conduct quality appraisal.

RESULTS

As of January 2020, we have begun a preliminary literature search and piloting of the study selection process.

CONCLUSIONS

This systematic review aims to clarify the effectiveness, limitations, and future applications of conversational agents in health care. Our findings may be useful to inform the future development of conversational agents and promote the personalization of patient care.

Authors: Hijazin Maen Yousef Khalaf , Al-naimat Dr. Saeed Mikhled Ahmad
Published: November 2019

This study aims at identifying the extent to which IAS 34 (Interim financial reporting) is applied in the Jordanian public shareholding companies, along with highlighting the impact of its application on individual investors at these companies. Study population consists of all Jordanian public shareholding industrial companies (45 companies) listed at Amman Stock Exchange. Due to the large number of the study population, preparers of financial statements (employees of companies), and individual investors, we have selected a simple random sample. The total number of preparers of financial statements (employees), and individual investors were (500) individuals who were selected for the sample. The results showed that all companies are committed to issue and publish interim financial reports within the period specified for that purpose. There is a statistically significant relationship between the variables relevant to the company including (the firm's nature, profitability, and age) and the compliance with issuing the reports and the information content of the financial statements. Moreover there are statistically significant differences in the extent to which IAS 34 is applied in the Jordanian public shareholding companies. These differences arise due to the personal and occupational characteristics of the preparers of financial statements (gender, age, qualification, position, and experience).

Conclusion:
HSAM increased frequency and probability of wound closure in DFUs versus SOC.
La calidad percibida de los servicios públicos locales y la confianza institucional en México
Authors: Monsiváis Carrillo Alejandro
Published: November 2019

La opinión ciudadana acerca de la provisión de bienes y servicios públicos locales reviste interés especial para la investigación sobre la confianza en las instituciones políticas. El objetivo del estudio es analizar la relación entre la calidad de los servicios públicos locales, percibida por la población, y la confianza que tiene en las instituciones. Con modelos de regresión multinivel se analizan los datos de una encuesta con representatividad estatal y nacional en México, que muestra que cuando los ciudadanos perciben calidad en los servicios públicos locales, eso influye positivamente en la confianza política. Por lo tanto, quienes confían más en las instituciones radican en las entidades federativas donde se percibe que dichos servicios son mejores. Estos resultados sugieren que en el desempeño de los gobiernos subnacionales las disparidades juegan un rol importante en la explicación de la confianza institucional.

Communication skills of each person can be formed, from early childhood, without the ability to speak someone can not communicate or convey what he feels to others. Sundanese as the language of instruction in West Java began to be introduced to early childhood as a stimulation so that early childhood know their mother tongue which is the everyday language of instruction in their home environment, but Sundanese language has been eroded by modernization which considers Sundanese not as good as language Indonesian or English, therefore many children in the family environment do not use Sundanese, as a daily language of instruction. In line with the statement of the District Government of Bandung, it has set local content in the concept of Rebo Nyunda, by instilling values that have local kearipan and can characterize children, so that they are expected to be independent and competitive as a support for the realization of the community order, especially in the district Bandung.Kemampuan komunikasi setiap orang dapat terbentuk, dari masa anak usia dini, tanpa kemampuan berbahasa seseorang tidak dapat berkomunikasi atau menyampaikan apa yang dirasakannya kepada orang lain. Bahasa Sunda sebagai bahasa pengantar di Jawa Barat mulai diperkenalkan kepada anak usia dini sebagai sebuah stimulasi agar anak usia dini mengenal bahasa ibunya  yang menjadi bahasa pengantar sehari-hari dilingkungan rumahnya, tetapi bahasa sunda sudah terkikis keberadaanya oleh modernisasi yang menganggap bahwa bahasa sunda tidak sebagus bahasa indonesia atau bahasa inggris oleh karena itu banyak anak yang di lingkungan keluarganya tidak menggunakan bahasa Sunda, sebagai bahasa pengantar sehari- hari. Sejalan dengan pernyataan Pemerintah Daerah Kabupaten Bandung telah menetapkan muatan lokal dalam konsep Rebo Nyunda, dengan menanamkan nilai–nilai  yang memiliki kearipan lokal dan dapat menunbuhkan karakter pada diri anak, sehingga diharapkan menjadi manusia yang mandiri dan berdaya saing sebagai penopang perwujudan tatanan  masyarakat khususnya di kabupaten Bandung.
