Published: October 2019

Abstract. The city council has been using rapid information technology (IT), especially geographical information system (GIS) to improve their performance. Most initiatives in IT applications, including GIS, are limited to individuals of each department rather than supporting a comprehensive operating institution. Even though GIS is now increasingly popular, implementation of an enterprise system is low compared to developed countries. Lack of awareness on the importance of geospatial data, capability of GIS and GIS application are the reasons for the low implementation rate. In this study, the collection of information is based on the requirements of MBJB (Johor Bahru City Council) in the development of the structural model of Enterprise GIS which covers five departments. Enterprise GIS can help the council in their day-to-day management of their activities especially spatial data sharing to provide the better services to the public. The analysis is based on five categories which are data, organisation information, work information, technology information and process. Following that, analysis using four partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) based empirical studies was carried out to examine Enterprise GIS requirement. Data analysis was carried out using Software Packages SmartPLS. Structural model was constructed which showed the value of relationship between independent and dependent variables. The highest value was found to be the organization information.

Published: October 2019

Abstract. The urbanization rate in Malaysia is predicted up to 85% in 2040 with a population reaching up to 46 million. Given urban development pressure, extreme climate and environmental degradation, the number of disasters is increasing with a large number of victims, casualties, and damaged infrastructures. Therefore, there is a critical need to quantify the underlying risks, strengthen disaster preparedness and build a resilient urban community in a disaster vulnerable region. This study aims to provide a new insight into the assessment of urban resilience and the development of social resilience strategy for reducing disaster risk in Malaysia. A study area is located in Kampung Asahan, Kuala Selangor district, the second biggest district in the state of Selangor. It is worth to mention that Selangor is the most economically vibrant state that contributes to 23% to the national Gross Domestic Products (GDP) with a population of 6.38 million residents. This study analyses a series of historical floods, the potential for future occurrence and socio-economic impact for supporting risk-informed development and investment. A questionnaire survey was organized to establish the baseline data, analysed local risk profiles while preparing an action plan and flood preparedness toolkit towards strengthening urban resilience in Selangor. This study is in line with the spirits underlying the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030, Urban Agenda 2030 and supporting the use of science, technology and innovation for disaster risk reduction (DRR), mainstreaming DRR into future development planning, and making our cities more resilient to future disasters in Malaysia.

Published: October 2019

Abstract. Sustainable development consists of the developing process of land, city, business, and community, which can be used for future generation. One of the tools for describing this process is called spatial planning. Spatial planning taking into account several aspects such as the number of plots (2D), vertical rooms or apartment (3D) of buildings and access to transport. The realization of this object requires the application of three-dimensional (3D) cadastre. This is essential for property rights to be registered and not superimposed. Traditionally, the cadastre is based on a representation of the 2D terrestrial division, but the 2D cadastre is not appropriate for applying and modelling information about the products. Some researchers have also discussed the options for transitioning 2D to 2D+ or three-dimensional (3D) registrations. According to Behnam et al (2016), the use of Building Information Model (BIM) as a feasible approach for managing land and property information in the administration of multi-storey buildings. Here, BIM is a technology capable of displaying the building’s in 3D model which can provide any kind of information inside the building. In this research our focus on surveying and mapping the sustainable development of Balinese building structure based on their indigenous knowledge. From survey results, Bali has a unique building structure in land use terminology. Generally, Balinese people use the concept of Tri Hita Karana (relationship of God, Human and Environment) for building their home. Beside, in Bali, there is a local rule that the high of building has limitation of 15 meters or it should has 5 floors. Therefore, this will impact the development future infrastructures such as to build bridge, toll road, apartment, railway and etc. Thus the big challenge in this area is to sustain local culture but technology can be implemented.

Published: October 2019

Abstract. Cloud computing is an important part of the development of smart cities and also the focus of the information and communication technology (ICT) industry. From the concept of cloud computing, people and objects in cities are organized based on their application needs and computed in real time. It is a comprehensive utilization of the new generation of information and communication technology. This paper first introduces the concept of cloud computing, smart city construction in Taiwan, and the information security management standard of cloud computing, then describes the cloud computing security framework from three areas,and summarizes the implementation status of cloud computing in Taiwan, government policies, and measures, reaching the conclusion that information transmission must be fast and reliable and ensure personal privacy and security. Any type of information security problem will bring catastrophic consequences. Therefore, cloud computing also brings severe challenges to the traditional information security system.
AN AREA MERGING METHOD IN MAP GENERALIZATION CONSIDERING THE BOUNDARY CHARACTERISTICS OF STRUCTURED GEOGRAPHIC OBJECTS
Authors: Wu P. D. , Yin Y. , Li C. M.
Published: October 2019

Abstract. Merging is an important operation for the generalization of land-cover data. However, current research often entails merging on a global perspective, which is not conducive to capturing the spatial characteristics of geographic objects with significant spatial structures, i.e., structured geographic objects. As such, this paper proposes an area merging method that can maintain the boundary characteristics of the structured geographic objects. First, we identify the structured geographic objects based on the description parameters of the spatial structure. Second, a Miter-type buffer transformation is introduced to extract the boundary of each structured geographic object, and area elements inside the boundary are processed with corresponding merging operations. Finally, the boundary of the structured geographic objects and the merging result of the area elements are inserted back into the aggregated result of the original land-cover data using the NOT operation. The proposed approach is experimentally validated using geographical condition census data for a city in southern China. The experimental validation indicates that the proposed approach not only reasonably identify the typical characteristics of structured geographic objects but also effectively maintains the boundary characteristics of these objects.

Abstract. The transmission main-intake isoneof the most important units to supply the electricity in some place. Each transmission main-intake has its own utilities and assets according to each function and type. During this time, each transmission main-intake structure and the assets inside only canbe monitored by 2-dimensional (2D) model other than on-site visits. This study is conducted to produce a 3-dimensional (3D) model of the building's internal structure and assets that will facilitate and further improves the monitoring process, maintenance and documentation of assets for certain parties for further uses in form of 3D Building Information Modelling (BIM). This study was conducted in Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) control and relay room at PE61 132/22KV Transmission main-intake building of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) using Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) Topcon GLS-2000 model. At the data processing stage, several series of software was used to complete the 3D model. Scanning process will generate an indoor point cloud of the building. The result from the data processing stage is more focused on the 3D internal model of the building that has been digitized from the point cloud data. The 3D model will be able to show the internal structure of buildings and the assets more clearly. In order to complete the 3D BIM, information regarding the assets was added. In this study, the efficiency of TLS Topcon GLS-2000 for 3D BIM was determined in term of its accuracy by comparing with the distometer. The accuracy for scanned data from TLS were compared with the distometer by using root mean square error (RMSE) formula, and the accuracy is only ±0.004 m.
El poder de lo sobrenatural y el deseo de la muerte en el género cómico: "Un marido de ida y vuelta" (1939), de Jardiel Poncela, y "Blithe Spirit" (1941), de Noel Coward
Authors: Bautista Naranjo Esther
Published: October 2019

En este artículo se estudia desde un punto de vista comparativo Un marido de ida y vuelta, de Enrique Jardiel Poncela, and Blithe Spirit, de Noel Coward, obras ambas en las que el amor resulta irrealizable desde el seno del matrimonio y sólo tras la muerte de uno de los esposos se puede lograr la plena felicidad de la pareja. Abordo, en concreto, la presencia perturbadora de médiums, fantasmas y situaciones paranormales que, desde la perspectiva cómica, pasan del estupor inicial a la progresiva asimilación dentro de la vida cotidiana, haciendo la muerte deseable frente al hastío de la vida burguesa. Al imbuirse de la comicidad propia de estas obras, estos tópicos pertenecientes a lo fantástico exterior quedan subvertidos y entran a formar parte de una estética de lo inverosímil.
Los afanes de amores o las máscaras del discurso decimonónico de la Reconquista en las "orientales" de José Zorrilla
Authors: Campos López Ronald
Published: October 2019

En este artículo se analizan las ocho estrategias que permiten enmascarar tras el tema amoroso el discurso decimonónico de la Reconquista en las seis orientales de José Zorrilla. Se observa cómo estos poemas participan mayormente de la conciencia cívica conservadora de su autor, contribuyendo con la representación imaginaria y colectiva de la identidad nacional española, durante la primera mitad del siglo XIX. La idealización de la mujer amada, la sensorialidad y sensualidad, y el exotismo enmascaran un sentido patriótico fundado en el medievalismo romántico, el colonialismo español, el concepto de raza, las sociedades de frontera, la soberanía imperial española, la lengua castellana, el régimen diurno de la imaginación simbólica; el uso de figuras arquetípicas, históricas, del romancero morisco, míticas y estereotípicas; la ambigüedad literaria; el uso estilístico de figuras descriptivas, patéticas y tropos; así como los tópicos cortesanos de la superioridad de la amada, el rechazo del amado y la albada. Pese al tradicionalismo de Zorrilla, en su sexta oriental se inscribe su voz liberal, proponiendo una nueva concepción de amor romántico, criticando la desvirtuación de la historia en función de la política nacionalista y subvirtiendo el sistema hegemónico, su oficialidad y represión.
Lenguaje y moral. Sobre la autonomía estética de la novela

Published: October 2019

Esbozamos aquí primero una nueva interpretación de las ideas estéticas de Kant que facilita su enlace con diversas tesis de la teoría narrativa. Sometemos luego a examen crítico algunos puntos centrales de la sutil posición antikantiana que sobre la relación entre ética y literatura ha sido defendida por Martha Nussbaum. Finalmente proponemos una crítica reconstrucción de las intuiciones básicas de Kant que confiere una especial función moral a la ficción literaria. Tomamos dos novelas de Javier Marías, Los enamoramientos y Corazón tan blanco, como fuente de ejemplos ilustrativos.
La sombra de Lutero en Japón. Acerca del "nembutsu" de acuerdo a la visión de los misioneros en el siglo XVI
Authors: Marino Giuseppe
Published: October 2019

El primer contacto entre el budismo y el cristianismo tuvo lugar en Japón en el siglo XVI durante el intento de evangelización de las tierras del país del Sol Naciente por parte de los misioneros europeos. En esta época, la formación cristocéntrica de los jesuitas, la influencia de la Contrarreforma, el impulso cristiano-imperial y otra serie de factores llevaron a los religiosos europeos a identificar y comparar las sectas del budismo con las doctrinas protestantes, entre ellas la luterana. A través del análisis de la documentación jesuita encontrada, este artículo estudia las comparaciones que los primeros misioneros relataron en sus informes: las analogías entre el budismo de la Tierra Pura, en concreto el Shinshû, y las teorías de Lutero. Asimismo, se examina cómo valoraron los jesuitas la principal oración jaculatoria de la secta budista, el nembutsu, a la que unían la salvación, o la recitación repetitiva del nombre del Buda Amida, investigando en las interpretaciones de tales oraciones.
“¡Oh cielo santo!¡Oh, dulce, amada patria!¡Oh Silvia!”: el trasunto de "Los tratos de Argel" de Miguel de Cervantes
Authors: Teijeiro Fuentes Miguel Á.
Published: October 2019

Los tratos de Argel es una comedia de Miguel de Cervantes. En ella se representa el peligroso cautiverio de los cristianos en poder de los turcos, algo que preocupaba sobremanera a la Monarquía española del último cuarto del siglo XVI. Cervantes ya había tratado este tema en otras obras suyas, como la Historia del cautivo, El amante liberal, o Los baños de Argel. Nuestro escritor desarrolla en Los tratos de Argel los tres temas fundamentales que explican el problema del cautiverio desde el punto de vista literario: el componente religioso (desde la presencia del renegado a la de las órdenes religiosas), el componente político (desde el patriotismo español a la hegemonía política en el Mediterráneo) y, finalmente, el componente amoroso (con la presencia del amor, los celos, los triángulos amorosos, las cartas, los equívocos, el final feliz…). De este modo, el autor del Quijote nos ofrece en esta obra una pintura aproximada del conflicto y sus consecuencias.
"El hechizado por fuerza" (1698) como proyecto social: sobre versiones hacia la modernidad
Authors: Bermejo Gregorio Jordi
Published: October 2019

El presente trabajo analiza la importancia que tuvo la regeneración social en la comedia de figurón El hechizado por fuerza (1698) de Antonio de Zamora, además de esclarecer la datación de la pieza. La preocupación por censurar vicios y malas costumbres populares evidencia el peso ideológico aperturista de un teatro de entre siglos como condicionante para la escritura teatral hacia la modernidad. Para ello se utiliza una técnica dramatúrgica que armoniza la actualización de la comedia anterior y la asimilación del teatro extranjero —como en el caso de Duendes hay alcahuetes y espíritu foleto (1709) o el propio El hechizado por fuerza—.
Don Quijote de la Mancha y san Ignacio de Loyola en la reinterpretación de Miguel de Unamuno
Authors: Mohamed Lozano Yasmina
Published: October 2019

Miguel de Unamuno comparó insistentemente a su Caballero de la Fe, don Quijote, con diversas figuras religiosas. No obstante, uno de los paralelismos sobre los que más insistió fue el del jesuita san Ignacio de Loyola. A su vez, nuestro autor varió de roles, presentádose la mayoría de veces como su profeta, encargado de predicar con la palabra e incluso el ejemplo la acción quijotesca. En otras ocasiones, llegaría compararse con don Quijote en momentos en los que previamente lo había equiparado ya al santo jesuita, creándose así otra indirecta autodivinización. En este artículo se pretende ofrecer una vinculación multidireccional entre el don Quijote unamuniano, san Ignacio, Pedro de Ribadeneyra —biógrafo del santo— y el mismo Unamuno.
Francisco de Imperial “leyendo” la "Commedia": el "Dezir de las siete virtudes" y su legado (meta)poético y político
Authors: Hamlin Cinthia María
Published: October 2019

El propósito de este trabajo será analizar la obra culmen de Francisco de Imperial, el decir narrativo en arte mayor conocido como “Dezir de las siete virtudes”, prestando especial atención a aquellos elementos que han marcado el rumbo de la escuela alegórico-dantesca, cuyo mayor representante es el Marqués de Santillana. Nos centraremos específicamente, por un lado, en el entramado metapoético de este nuevo viaje alegórico, que se configura mediante la técnica de la mise en abyme, gracias al cual el poema se presenta a sí mismo como una lectura del texto dantesco; por el otro, en su entramado profético-político, que, inspirado en el formato profético-alegórico dantesco caracterizado por la obscuritas, permite anclar la nueva ficción en el contexto histórico-político castellano del siglo XV. Ambos aspectos serán fundamentales para comprender la poética de su sucesor, el Marqués de Santillana, y las principales características de la escuela alegórico-dantesca que él inaugura.
Presencia y caracteres del narratario en "Guzmán de Alfarache"

Published: October 2019

El sistema de la recepción inmanente en el Guzmán es sumamente complejo y condiciona por su esencial ambigüedad la interpretación última del texto en aspectos tan significativos como la sinceridad de la conversión; pero debe destacarse por encima de ello su virtualidad para construir la novela pues sin la interlocución sería sencillamente imposible. En este trabajo prestamos especial atención a los procedimientos que delatan la presencia de un narratario como receptor global del relato autobiográfico del narrador y tratamos de desglosar sus características básicas y cauces de aparición.
Regional patterns in shallow water invertebrate assemblages on offshore oil and gas platforms along the Pacific continental shelf
Authors: Page Henry M , Zaleski Susan F , Miller Robert J , Dugan Jenifer E , Schroeder Donna M , Doheny Brandon
Published: October 2019

We explored biogeographical and local patterns in the composition of shallow water (≤18 m depth) invertebrate assemblages inhabiting California offshore oil and gas platforms using multivariate analysis of diver- conducted photographic data collected from 23 platforms in 2013–2014.
We evaluated the potential importance of sea surface temperature (SST) and other physical and biological factors in driving observed patterns in these assemblages. Prior to this analysis, platforms were grouped into four regions based on local differences in annual mean SST. The composition
of invertebrate assemblages varied significantly among the four regions, reflecting differences in the relative abundances of certain anemone, bryozoan, sponge, and bivalve taxa. However, invertebrate assemblages varied idiosyncratically among platforms within a region. Variation in platform
assemblages was associated with SST across regions; however, assemblages of platforms in the southeast Santa Barbara Channel were distinct due to the high cover of a non-native bryozoan, Watersipora subatra (Ortmann, 1890). The existence of geographical patterns in the composition of
platform invertebrate assemblages and the colonization of one platform by a native bryozoan with southern affinities during elevated SST of 2014–2015 suggest that these assemblages may be useful over broad spatial scales as barometers of short- and longer-term changes in ocean climate.
However, over smaller spatial scales, the idiosyncratic differences in invertebrate assemblages among platforms within regions indicates that these assemblages would have to be considered on a platform-by-platform basis under various decommissioning scenarios.
Site fidelity, vertical movement, and habitat use of nearshore reef fishes on offshore petroleum platforms in southern California
Authors: Mireles Carlos , Martin Christopher JB , Lowe Christopher G
Published: October 2019

Off California, economically important nearshore reef fishes inhabit the shallow (<20 m) regions of offshore petroleum platforms on the San Pedro Shelf (SPS). It is essential to understand the degrees to which platforms support fish over time to indicate whether biological requirements
(e.g., shelter, diet, reproduction) are being met. To determine the ecological importance of platforms as fish habitat, the site fidelity and depth/habitat use of adult cabezon, Scorpaenichthys marmoratus (Ayres, 1854), grass rockfish, Sebastes rastrelliger (Jordan and Gilbert,
1880), kelp rockfish, Sebastes atrovirens (Jordan and Gilbert, 1880), and California sheephead, Semicossyphus pulcher (Ayres, 1854) were investigated at platforms Edith (50 m bottom depth) and Eureka (212 m). A total of 63 fish were acoustically tagged and monitored for up to
578 d. Sixty-three percent of individuals were still present at platforms at the end of the study (long-term site fidelity), with 55 individuals detected a mean of 66.9% (SD 36.0%) of their total days at liberty (daily site fidelity). All species displayed a shift in seasonal depth use. The
shallowest horizontal level, consisting of various horizontal beams at platform Edith (15 m depth) and Eureka (17 m), was the most utilized habitat by grass rockfish, kelp rockfish, and California sheephead. Cabezon at platform Eureka utilized depths (21–31 m) unassociated with horizontal
levels, while at platform Edith they primarily utilized the second horizontal level (30 m). Decommissioning options that remove the shallowest 26 m of structure would eliminate the habitat most utilized by three of the four study species that dominate the nearshore reef fish communities at
SPS platforms.
An analysis of the fish assemblages around 23 oil and gas platforms off California with comparisons with natural habitats
Authors: Love Milton S , Claisse Jeremy T , Roeper Alexa
Published: October 2019

Between 1995 and 2013, we surveyed fishes living around 23 California offshore oil and gas platforms (midwaters, bases, and shell mounds) and 70 natural habitats. These platforms were distributed between about Point Arguello, central California, and Huntington Beach, southern California,
had seafloor depths between 49 and 363 m, and were surveyed between one and 16 times. A total of 1,526,437 fishes were observed. Fish densities were highest around platform bases, followed by platform midwaters, shell mounds, and natural habitats. Of all fishes observed, 90.4% were in the
genus Sebastes. Water depth was the strongest driver of the fish species assemblages, although habitat type and geographic location were also important. Most of the fishes living around platforms and natural habitats were relatively small, primarily ≤20 cm in length. Many of these
individuals were the juveniles of larger taxa or the juveniles and adults of dwarf species. Larger fishes were less common and these were most often found around platform bases and on natural habitats. Most young-of-the-year (YOY) fishes occurred at water depths of ≤150 m at all four habitats.
At platforms, YOY densities were highest in platform midwaters and bases. On average, densities of these young fishes were somewhat higher compared to natural habitats and it is likely that many, although not all, California platforms play a significant role as nursery grounds for a variety
of fishes, particularly for a number of Sebastes species.
Fishes with high reproductive output potential on California offshore oil and gas platforms
Authors: Claisse Jeremy T , Love Milton S , Meyer-Gutbrod Erin L , Williams Chelsea M , Pondella II Daniel J
Published: October 2019

Reproductive output can serve as an important metric to assess the value of a marine habitat as it combines fish densities, size at maturity, and the exponential increase of fecundity with body length. California may permit some portion of the structures of offshore oil and gas platforms
to remain in place if a "net benefit to the marine environment" can be demonstrated. Here we assess habitats at 23 oil and gas platforms in terms of site- and species- specific estimates of potential reproductive output. We identified 17 fish species (15 rockfishes Sebastes spp.) that
have potential reproductive output densities (no. eggs m–2) on individual platforms that were tens to hundreds of times their average on natural reefs in the study area, with the highest potential reproductive output values being observed on platforms for all but two of these
species. These extreme values were typically observed in platform base habitats, and likely result from the combined effects of high levels of fish recruitment to midwater platform habitats, relatively low fishing activity on these structures, and ontogenetic habitat use (depth-specific) patterns
that make some platforms better habitats for some species based on the seafloor depth where they are sited. However, spatial variability was also very high across both platform and natural reef sites, including reproductive potential for almost all focal species being zero at the majority
of surveyed sites. The contribution of fish reproductive potential to the discussion of decommissioning alternatives should therefore be considered on a case-by-case basis for each platform in California.
Offshore oil production platforms as potential sources of larvae to coastal shelf regions off southern California
Authors: Nishimoto Mary M , Simons Rachel D , Love Milton S
Published: October 2019

A diverse assemblage of adult reef fishes and invertebrates occurs at offshore oil production platforms in the Southern California Bight (SCB). Coincident with the initiation of the decommissioning of six platforms in the SCB, the goal of this study was to examine how a platform's geographical
location plays a role in its potential contribution of larval recruits to natural areas. Using a three-dimensional biophysical model, we quantified the potential connectivity of larvae, particularly relevant to reef fishes, from three offshore platforms to four coastal shelf regions where
the majority of rocky settlement habitat occurs in the SCB. The regions cover the shelves of the mainland coast and islands and offshore banks in the southern SCB. The main findings indicate that (1) the potential for larval subsidies from platforms in the southern SCB to populations in the
northern SCB are greater than the potential for larval subsidies from platforms in the northern SCB to the southern SCB; (2) there is greater seasonal variability of potential connectivity from platforms to the mainland shelf region of the northern SCB than to the mainland shelf region of
the southern SCB or shelves around islands and banks; and (3) there is consistency across years in the relative magnitude of potential connectivity from the platforms to the four shelf regions. We conclude that a platform's function as a larval source should be considered an ecological criterion
when evaluating whether a platform is to be converted to an artificial reef and implementing marine spatial planning.

Authors: Istek Abdullah , Ozlusoylu Ismail
Published: October 2019

In this study, the effect of mat moisture content on the physical and mechanical properties of particleboard was investigated. The experimental boards were produced by using 40 % softwood, 45 % hardwood chips, and 15 % sawdust. The formaldehyde resin/adhesive was used in three-layers (bottom-top layer 12 %, core layer 8 %). Multi-opening press was used during manufacturing the experimental particleboards. The physical and mechanical properties of boards obtained were identified according to the TS-EN standards. The optimum core layer moisture content was determined as 6 % and 7 % according to the results, whereas the moisture content of bottom and top layers was 14 %. Under these moisture content conditions, the bending strength was found to be 13.3 N/mm², the modulus of elasticity in bending 2466 N/mm², and internal bonding strength 0.44 N/mm². The optimum bottom-top layer moisture content was determined to be between 13 % and 15 % and 6.5 % for the core layer.

Published: October 2019

U radu su ispitane vibracije peteroslojnih međukatnih križno lameliranih drvenih panela visine 14 cm izazvane ljudskim djelovanjem. Analizirana su tri međukatna panela identičnih visina, ali s različitim kombinacijama debljine lamela u križnim slojevima variranjem njihovih raspona. Navedeni su bitni kriteriji što ih pri projektiranju treba zadovoljiti međukatna konstrukcija da bi se osiguralo njezino prihvatljivo ponašanje u uvjetima dinamičkog opterećenja. Izračun efektivne krutosti na savijanje panela obavljen je Gamma metodom, K-metodom i Kreuzingerovom analogijom. Analitički je određena osnovna frekvencija vibriranja svakog panela, kao i maksimalni progib zbog jedinične statičke sile, a dobiveni su rezultati uspoređeni s vrijednostima dobivenim modalnom i statičkom analizom u programskom paketu Ansys. Svi su dobiveni podatci uspoređeni s važećim kriterijima i selektirani su paneli koji ispunjavaju kriterije sa stajališta graničnog stanja uporabivosti. Rezultati su pokazali da su analizirani međukatni paneli raspona do 4,5 m prihvatljivi sa stajališta adekvatnoga dinamičkog ponašanja pri ljudskom djelovanju. Rezultati su također pokazali da su kombinirani kriterij i kriterij maksimalnoga dopuštenog progiba zbog jedinične statičke sile znatno stroži od kriterija minimalne vrijednosti osnovne frekvencije vibriranja.

Published: October 2019

For rtPA treatment to be effective it should be initiated within the first 4.5 hours following the onset of a stroke. Such a short therapeutic window demands a rapid diagnosis and decision making on the part of the physician. There are patients with stroke-like symptoms and an initial diagnosis of a stroke, but who are finally diagnosed as suffering from another condition. According to the subject literature, stroke mimics are diagnosed in about 1.4 – 3.5% of patients initially diagnosed as having had an ischemic stroke. Psychogenic strokes (conversion disorders) may be found in as many as 8.2% of stroke patients. Proper diagnosis is especially important in patients eligible for thrombolytic treatment when there is usually not enough time to establish the diagnosis of a stroke mimic, especially one of psychogenic origin.

A patient with an initial diagnosis of an ischemic stroke who was treated with intravenous alteplase infusion. The previous two ischemic strokes treated in the same manner had been diagnosed one and two years earlier. In all hospitalizations no rtPA treatment complications had been observed. In our patient a proper neuropsychological examination was performed and a conversion disorder diagnosed.

We would like to underline the importance of cooperation between the neuropsychologist and neurology physician within clinical practice.
New Perspectives in Joint Cartilage Treatment with Special Emphasis on New Types of Hydrogels: a Review
Authors: Baranowski Maciej , Czubak Jarosław
Published: October 2019

Joints are a necessary anatomic and functional element of the organ of locomotion. Hyaline cartilage is a very important element of a joint in physiological terms. Joint cartilage is subjected to injuries associated with non-physiological loading and excessive abnormal mobility caused by ligament instability. These can lead to damage to the surface of the cartilage and the development of defects. Until now there has been no „golden standard” for treating injuries to joint cartilage. The goal of this treatment is to sustain knee function at a level that is tolerable and acceptable to the patient. Three major minimally invasive techniques for treating damage of the surface of the joints are currently available, namely 1) the microfracture technique, which stimulates bone marrow. Regenerative processes promote the formation of fibrohyaline cartilage. 2) transplantation of osteocartilaginous allo- and autogeneic cylinders. 3) in vitro chondrocyte culture and transplantation of these chondrocytes to sites with cartilage defects.
This review describes both the historical and modern techniques of joint cartilage treatment as well as new perspectives related to the use of biomaterials in the healing of cartilage defects.
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis – Future Molecular-Based Diagnostic and Prognostic Testing

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine mainly affecting the younger population. Earlier detection of the disorder leads to appropriate treatment and better outcomes, thus avoiding highly invasive surgical treatments. The currently available tests for the disease identification have lost their reliability and validity with time. In the past few decades, efforts have been directed towards developing a highly reliable prognostic test for AIS. Towards this end, several strategies have been employed including biochemical, biomechanical and gene-based tests. Among the three, the gene-based technology has received much attention in recent past. Notably, this is due to the fact that the human genome project, followed by genome-wide association studies (GWAS), facilitated the identification of candidate genes for disorders like AIS. Several promising biomarker genes have been identified. However, their global validations were disappointing as these genes were shown to be limited to a particular group of people/ethnicities. Such observations limit the development of a reliable global molecular/biochemical test for AIS. The currently used AIS ScoliScoreTM also has several limitations. With continued disappointments in the identification of biomarkers for AIS and lack of appropriate tests, researchers have diverted their efforts towards several alternative avenues. A ray of hope is emerging from recent observations on the association of non-coding microRNAs and epigenetic factors that might arise as future reliable markers for AIS, thus paving the way for appropriate clinical management of this disorder.
Analysis of accidents in the context
of work safety culture
Authors: Kania A. , Cesarz-Andraczke K. , Więcek K. , Babilas R.
Published: October 2019

Purpose: The article presents an analysis of accidents in the selected enterprise from
the automotive industry. The analysis includes two workplaces: machine operator and
warehouseman.
Design/methodology/approach: The analysis of accidents at work in a selected
production company includes the period from the beginning of 2016 to half of the 2018
year using the method based on the TOH model. This method determines three factors of
accident causes: technical, organizational and human (TOH).
Findings: In the paper, the workplaces analysis taking into account activities, type of
work, working position and accidents at work is presented. The analysis of work accidents
includes the age group, work experience etc. The TOH model determines causes related to
accidental events.
Research limitations/implications: The accidents at work are the result of a low
or undesirable safety culture. Because of that, the safety culture should be constantly
developed, maintained and continuously improved.
Originality/value: Many methods and procedures can be used to investigate accidents
at work. The TOH model is one of them. It determines the direct and indirect causes of
accidents. Based on them, the corrective actions can be proposed and implemented.
Understanding Cases within Professions
Authors: Robison Wade ,   Society for Ethics Across the Curriculum
Published: October 2019

It seems commonly assumed that presenting data is value-neutral. The data is what it is, and it is for those assessing it to make judgments of value. So a chart of earnings just tells us what a company has earned. The chart does not tell us whether the earnings are a good or bad sign. That valuation is to be made by those looking at the chart and is independent of the chart itself. This view of the relation between presentations of data and value judgments is mistaken. Presentations are value-laden in at least two ways. How we choose to represent data is itself an ethically loaded value-judgment, and, second, presentations cause responses, including value-laden judgments. We shall first look at how hard it can be to get inside a profession to be able to understand the problems those in that profession face so we can represent it properly. We shall then examine a case where a failure to understand the problem led to a mistaken moral judgment that has taken on a life of its own because of the power of how the problem is mistakenly presented.
A Pedagogy of Accompaniment
Authors: Scibilia Dominic P. ,   Society for Ethics Across the Curriculum
Published: October 2019

Since the 1990s, educators and social commentators have raised alarms regarding the moral character of successive generations of Americans. A consistent concern within those calls for alarm directs attention to teaching ethics in secondary education. A pedagogy of accompaniment recognizes the timeliness (when it is the right instructional time) for objective and subjective approaches to learning social ethics, transcending the either/or of subject-object, content-skill educational conflicts as well as the disordered distractions of a performance-merit based assessment of learning. In secondary education, the praxis of accompaniment through social ethical discernment creates an occasion wherein students hear and take seriously for the first time their moral voices and imagine their social ethical horizons.

La larga huella en el territorio de las viviendas secundarias ilegales. El ejemplo de Gilet (Valencia)
Authors: Burriel de Orueta Eugenio Luis
Published: October 2019

Los grupos de viviendas secundarias ilegales desarrolladas en España en el entorno de las principales áreas urbanas entre 1960 y 1985 han dejado una profunda huella negativa en el territorio que perdura casi medio siglo después y que en algunos aspectos resulta de muy difícil solución. Las principales consecuencias son desorden territorial, importantes impactos ambientales y paisajísticos, carencia o mala calidad de infraestructuras, equipamientos y servicios públicos que acaban siendo una carga económica para la comunidad e incluso generando conflictos políticos que han complicado la gobernanza local. A partir del estudio del municipio de Gilet (Valencia), un ejemplo paradigmático de este proceso, se han analizado los impactos actuales en el territorio y los factores que los determinan. Los resultados obtenidos pueden generalizarse para otras zonas de España donde se desarrollaron estos grupos de viviendas. La ilegalidad sustamncial de este peculiar mercado urbanístico español es la causa principal de esos problemas terrritoriales, de su perdurabilidad en el tiempo y de la dificultad para solucionarlos.
