A qualitative evaluation of clinically coded data quality from health information manager perspectives
Authors: Doktorchik Chelsea , Lu Mingshan , Quan Hude , Ringham Cathy , Eastwood Cathy
Published: July 2019

Background:

It is essential that clinical documentation and clinical coding be of high quality for the production of healthcare data.

Objective:

This study assessed qualitatively the strengths and barriers regarding clinical coding quality from the perspective of health information managers.

Method:

Ten health information managers and clinical coding quality coordinators who oversee clinical coders (CCs) were identified and recruited from nine provinces across Canada. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, which included questions on data quality, costs of clinical coding, education for health information management, suggestions for quality improvement and barriers to quality improvement. Interviews were recorded, transcribed and analysed using directed content analysis and informed by institutional ethnography.

Results:

Common barriers to clinical coding quality included incomplete and unorganised chart documentation, and lack of communication with physicians for clarification. Further, clinical coding quality suffered as a result of limited resources (e.g. staffing and budget) being available to health information management departments. Managers unanimously reported that clinical coding quality improvements can be made by (i) offering interactive training programmes to CCs and (ii) streamlining sources of information from charts.

Conclusion:

Although clinical coding quality is generally regarded as high across Canada, clinical coding managers perceived quality to be limited by incomplete and inconsistent chart documentation, and increasing expectations for data collection without equal resources allocated to clinical coding professionals.

Implications:

This study presents novel evidence for clinical coding quality improvement across Canada.
Bidirectional Association Between Self-Control and Internalizing Problems Among College Freshmen: A Cross-Lagged Study
Authors: Situ Qiao-Min , Li Jian-Bin , Dou Kai , Wang Yu-Jie
Published: July 2019

For the young adult, entering tertiary education brings inevitable pressures and stresses. Faced with these stressors, students are vulnerable to internalizing problems. Both the social cognitive theory of self-regulation and hot/cool system theory suggest that while self-control plays a crucial role in protecting against internalizing problems in college students, such internalizing problems can also impair self-control. To test this idea, the present study used a two-wave longitudinal design, spanning 6 months apart, to investigate the predictive effect of self-control on subsequent internalizing problems and, conversely, the effect of internalizing problems on later self-control among college freshmen. As predicted, the results of cross-lagged model supported a bidirectional association between self-control and internalizing problems. Theoretically, these findings suggest a spiral development of self-control in relation to internalizing problems during emerging adulthood. Practically, intervention programs may target both issues of self-control and internalizing problems to optimize the psychological health of college freshmen.
Blunted Neural Reward Responsiveness in Children With Recent Suicidal Ideation
Authors: Tsypes Aliona , Owens Max , Gibb Brandon E.
Published: July 2019

Individuals with suicidal thoughts and behaviors experience abnormalities in reward-related processes, yet little is known about specific components or stages of reward processing that are impaired, especially in children. The primary aim of this study was to conduct an investigation of the Initial Response to Reward subconstruct of the National Institute of Mental Health’s Research Domain Criteria in relation to recent suicidal ideation (SI) in children. Participants were 23 children between the ages of 7 and 11 with a history of recent SI and 46 demographically and clinically matched children with no recent SI. Children completed a simple guessing task during which electroencephalographic signals were continuously recorded to isolate the reward positivity (RewP) event-related potential; specifically, we examined change in RewP (∆RewP), quantified as the difference between neural responses to monetary gains and neural responses to monetary losses. Children with recent SI exhibited significantly smaller (i.e., blunted) ∆RewP, providing initial evidence for blunted initial responses to reward in these children.

The aim of this review of literature is to describe these differences in definitions, pathology, diagnostic workups, treatment strategies, and prognosis.
A Multifaceted Approach to Improve Physician Communication Scores
Authors: McCaffrey Ryan , Hale Dane , Kunupakaphun Schawan , Kaufman Laura , Eamranond Pracha
Published: July 2019

Improving patient satisfaction scores has become a key focus of health-care organizations nationwide but can be a struggle for community hospitals with constrained resources, and particularly challenging for hospitalist programs due to provider variance and turnover. Using the framework of appreciative inquiry, we implemented a multipronged intervention including a rounding model whereby hospitalist leaders rounded on patients and relayed commentary back to their hospitalist providers. We communicated positive feedback preferentially over negative feedback to the entire hospitalist group through regular communication. Providers were encouraged to employ best practices including sitting with the patient, reviewing recommendations using teach back, and providing business cards. Scores improved in the physician communication category by approximately 1% annually from fiscal year 2015 through 2018, with our percentile rank improving 35 percentile points during that time. These findings indicate that a multifaceted approach including best practices is associated with improved patient experience regarding communication with physicians.

Published: July 2019

Ambient air pollution increases the risk of respiratory mortality, but evidence for impacts on lung function and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is less well established. The aim was to evaluate whether ambient air pollution is associated with lung function and COPD, and explore potential vulnerability factors.

We used UK Biobank data on 303 887 individuals aged 40–69 years, with complete covariate data and valid lung function measures. Cross-sectional analyses examined associations of land use regression-based estimates of particulate matter (particles with a 50% cut-off aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 and 10 µm: PM2.5and PM10, respectively; and coarse particles with diameter between 2.5 μm and 10 μm: PMcoarse) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations with forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), the FEV1/FVC ratio and COPD (FEV1/FVC <lower limit of normal). Effect modification was investigated for sex, age, obesity, smoking status, household income, asthma status and occupations previously linked to COPD.

Higher exposures to each pollutant were significantly associated with lower lung function. A 5 µg·m−3increase in PM2.5concentration was associated with lower FEV1(−83.13 mL, 95% CI −92.50– −73.75 mL) and FVC (−62.62 mL, 95% CI −73.91– −51.32 mL). COPD prevalence was associated with higher concentrations of PM2.5(OR 1.52, 95% CI 1.42–1.62, per 5 µg·m−3), PM10(OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.00–1.16, per 5 µg·m−3) and NO2(OR 1.12, 95% CI 1.10–1.14, per 10 µg·m−3), but not with PMcoarse. Stronger lung function associations were seen for males, individuals from lower income households, and “at-risk” occupations, and higher COPD associations were seen for obese, lower income, and non-asthmatic participants.

Ambient air pollution was associated with lower lung function and increased COPD prevalence in this large study.
The interaction between CASK and the tumour suppressor Dlg1 regulates mitotic spindle orientation in mammalian epithelia
Authors: Porter Andrew P. , White Gavin R. M. , Mack Natalie A. , Malliri Angeliki
Published: July 2019

Oriented cell divisions are important for the formation of normal epithelial structures. Dlg1, a tumour suppressor, is required for mitotic spindle orientation in Drosophila epithelia and chick neuroepithelia, but how Dlg1 is localised to the membrane and its importance in mammalian epithelia are unknown. We show that Dlg1 is required in non-transformed mammalian epithelial cells for oriented cell divisions and normal lumen formation. We demonstrate that the MAGUK protein CASK, a membrane-associated scaffold, is the factor responsible for Dlg1 membrane localisation during spindle orientation, thereby identifying a new cellular function for CASK. Depletion of CASK leads to misoriented divisions in 3D, and to the formation of multilumen structures in cultured kidney and breast epithelial cells. Blocking the CASK–Dlg1 interaction with an interfering peptide, or by deletion of the CASK-interaction domain of Dlg1, disrupts spindle orientation and causes multilumen formation. We show that the CASK–Dlg1 interaction is important for localisation of the canonical LGN–NuMA complex known to be required for spindle orientation. These results establish the importance of the CASK–Dlg1 interaction in oriented cell division and epithelial integrity.

Spatiotemporal dissection of the trans-Golgi network in budding yeast
Authors: Tojima Takuro , Suda Yasuyuki , Ishii Midori , Kurokawa Kazuo , Nakano Akihiko
Published: July 2019

The trans-Golgi network (TGN) acts as a sorting hub for membrane traffic. It receives newly synthesized and recycled proteins, and sorts and delivers them to specific targets such as the plasma membrane, endosomes and lysosomes/vacuoles. Accumulating evidence suggests that the TGN is generated from the trans-most cisterna of the Golgi by maturation, but the detailed transition processes remain obscure. Here, we examine spatiotemporal assembly dynamics of various Golgi/TGN-resident proteins in budding yeast by high-speed and high-resolution spinning-disk confocal microscopy. The Golgi–TGN transition gradually proceeds via at least three successive stages: the ‘Golgi stage’ where glycosylation occurs; the ‘early TGN stage’, which receives retrograde traffic; and the ‘late TGN stage’, where transport carriers are produced. During the stage transition periods, earlier and later markers are often compartmentalized within a cisterna. Furthermore, for the late TGN stage, various types of coat/adaptor proteins exhibit distinct assembly patterns. Taken together, our findings characterize the identity of the TGN as a membrane compartment that is structurally and functionally distinguishable from the Golgi.

Quantitative T2 mapping accelerated by GRAPPATINI for evaluation of muscles in patients with myositis
Authors: Wang Fengdan , Zhang Haiping , Wu Chanyuan , Wang Qian , Hou Bo , Sun Yi , Kober Tobias , Hilbert Tom , Zhang Yan , Zeng Xiaofeng , Jin Zhengyu
Published: July 2019

Objective:

Dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM) make up the largest group of potentially treatable myopathies and require early diagnosis. This study investigates whether the edema of thigh muscles in DM/PM can be quantitatively assessed by a novel accelerated T2 mapping technique—GRAPPATINI.

Methods:

Three conventional MR sequences and GRAPPATINI accelerated T2 mapping of bilateral thighs from 20 patients (7 DM and 13 PM) and 10 healthy volunteers were prospectively carried out on a 3 T MR scanner. Afterwards, T2 values of 477 thigh muscles from the patients and the healthy controls were manually measured. In addition, the correlations between T2 values and serum muscle enzymes in patients were also analyzed.

Results:

The new GRAPPATINI technique made quantitative T2 mapping of bilateral thighs feasible with a scanning time of only 2 min 18 s. Moreover, GRAPPATINI-generated T2 values of muscles from patients were markedly higher than those from healthy subjects (p < 0.001). GRAPPATINI accelerated T2 mapping appeared a more sensitive technique in that some DM/PM muscles appearing normal per conventional MRI had increased T2 relaxation time. Furthermore, GRAPPATINI-generated T2 values of DM/PM thigh muscles positively correlated with serum enzyme levels (p < 0.001), which reflected the severity of myopathy.

Conclusion:

GRAPPATINI can significantly shorten acquisition time of T2 mapping and may potentially be applied clinically in DM and PM.

Advances in knowledge:

GRAPPATINI acceleration makes T2 mapping feasible in clinical practice in providing quantitative information regarding thigh muscle inflammation in DM and PM.
Case Report: Buccal administration of hydrogen-producing blend after a mild traumatic brain injury in a professional athlete
Authors: Javorac Dejan , Stajer Valdemar , Ostojic Sergej M.
Published: July 2019

Background: Sport-related mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious trauma that could impair brain function of an injured athlete. Treatment solutions for mild TBI typically concentrate on complete rest, while non-traditional therapeutic options remain largely ineffective. Molecular hydrogen (H2) is an innovative neuroprotective agent that can easily reach the brain, yet no data are available concerning its value as a first-aid intervention after a mild TBI.

Case report: This case report demonstrates the efficacy and safety of a hydrogen-producing dissolving tablet administered buccally during the first 24 hours post-injury in a professional soccer player who suffered a mild TBI. The patient received a formulated dosage of hydrogen every 2 hours, with the first intervention given immediately after an initial examination (~ 15 min after the injury).

The overall score for Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 2 (SCAT2), a standardized method of evaluating injured athletes for concussion, increased from 68 points (severe disruption) at baseline to 84 points (mild disruption) at 24-h follow-up. The patient reported no side effects of hydrogen intervention.

Conclusions: This case has demonstrated that intensive consecutive therapy with oral transmucosal hydrogen formulation is a beneficial strategy with regard to the reduction of presence and severity of symptoms of sport-related mild TBI.
Approach of Improved Topology Development Protocol In Ad Hoc Network Minimizing The Number of Hops And Maintaining Connectivity of Mobile Terminals Which Move From One To The Others
Authors: Sugiyanta Lipur
Published: July 2019

Wireless ad-hoc mesh network is a special kind of network, where all of the nodes move in time. Node is intended to help relaying packets of neighboring nodes using multi-hop routing mechanism in order to solve problem of dead communication. Wireless mesh network which engages broadcasting and contains multiple hops become increasingly vulnerable to problems such as routing problem and rapid increasing of overhead packets. During this progress, the delay on account of multi hop characteristics and redundant packets caused by communication nature potentially existed during communication. Typically, delay will increase in linearity with number of hops. There is a certain minimum level of delay that will be experienced due to the time it takes to transmit a packet through a link. Topology development holds a significant point prior to the data transmission. Without improved topology development protocol, this problem can decrease network’s performance in overall data transmission. We analyze the delay performance of a multi-hop wireless network with a dynamic route between each source and final destination pair. There are fluctuate interference constraints on the set of links that impose a fundamental delay performance of any instant network topology. At first, we present a similar Link State Routing network simulation to derive such referential lower bounds. We conduct extensive simulation studies to suggest that the average delay of multi-hop transmission policy can be made lower compared to the referential bound by using appropriate functions of network metrics. This paper provides a broadcast framework that engages various network metrics and at the same time maintaining connectivity of nodes (mobile terminals). The framework captures the essential features of the wireless network metrics, i.e. bandwidth, throughput, network buffer, direction, and round trip time. This research is useful since, in many cases, it find that the throughput is the most important parameter in reduction of delay transmission. This result is confirmed with another composite simulation result. Most of network hop delay is impacted with this composite metric, particularly in delay minimization on the longer hops. The reduction achievement on average delay by this algorithm is 0.577% and the total average delay reduction for this simulated network is 0.683%. This research will be further designed primarily for achieving maximum throughput in the multiple wireless network area.

Revisão das micro- e macrounidades de tradução na abordagem processual e pragmática da pesquisa de tradução
Authors: Sekino Kyoko
Published: July 2019

O presente estudo revê a importância da unidade de tradução processual. Retoma a análise das micro e macrounidades de tradução (ALVES; VALE, 2009; 2011), recuperadas por meio da aplicação MicroUnitsAPP, para observar a importância do contexto na tradução com base na abordagem pragmática da tradução (GUTT; 2000). Com o uso dos dados de um participante, P3, coletados por meio do Translog-II no estudo de Minatogau (2018), envolvendo o par linguístico japonês-português, realizou-se, manualmente, uma análise da distribuição de unidades de tradução, distinguindo-se micro e macrounidades de tradução. Identificou-se que, dentre 96 microunidades de tradução, 70 pertencem a uma única macrounidade. Após essa macrounidade, a produção textual de P3 tornou-se mais rápida e mais linear, o que remete à importância de um contexto esclarecido na tarefa de tradução. Conclui-se, com base nos resultados, que a análise de dados das unidades de tradução ainda apresenta uma característica distinta em relação ao processo de tradução como um todo, especialmente a partir de uma abordagem pragmática. Isso pode explicar a distribuição do esforço cognitivo na reconstrução do contexto do texto-fonte para a tradução e apontar para uma necessidade de se elaborar um editor de unidades de tradução processual.
Dari Societeit Concordia Menuju Gedung Merdeka: Memori Kolektif Kemerdekaan Asia-Afrika
Authors: Sofyan Achmad
Published: July 2019

As a part of the cities in the colonization age, Bandung had a lot of colonial building. The buildings were Gemeente Huis, Gedung Sate, Bandung Technology Institute, Pasteur Institute, Societeit Concordia, and many others building. It cannot be rejected that the colonial architecture always has a concept and meaning related to the structure when it builds. So that, the building had never extinct by the ages. Even though the function of buildings changed as public space, but it still had some memories and histories to remember. Based on that explanation, this paper has a purpose of describing the concept of cities of mind that introduced by Pierre Nora attached on a colonial building Societeit Concordia that led on the name changes as Gedung Merdeka because of political purpose in a declaration of independence by the nation of Asia-Afrika at Bandung. This article is used as the historical method. It analyzes the meaning changes that happened on collective memory after the changes on the name of Gedung Merdeka building
Walk-Through Corporate Aesthetics: Design Affordances in Tech Workspaces
Authors: Werning Stefan
Published: July 2019

The article at hand analyses the aesthetic dimension of contemporary “tech companies,” particularly how their characteristic rhetoric of creativity, collaboration and disruption is built into the aesthetics of the physical work environments. For that purpose, proceduralist reading and environmental storytelling, usually applied to analyse meaning-making in digital game spaces, are adapted to conduct a comparative spatial affordance analysis on material from Officesnapshots, one of the largest online repositories for workspace documentation. Expanding upon earlier definitions of spatial affordances as quasi-textual features, the article defines the design elements of tech offices as a continuation of verbal and (audio-)visual corporate rhetoric employed by companies like Google, Facebook or Etsy. It thereby contributes a material-semiotic dimension to current debates about the epistemic implications of these software platforms, which José van Dijck summarises using the term “platform society.” Besides game and play studies, elements of architectural semiotics and cultural analyses of support spaces (e.g. Kracauer 1999 and Moran 2005) as well as broader concepts such as the politics of theming (Freitag 2017) or the embedding of digital technologies into physical spaces (Kitchin and Dodge 2011) complement the theoretical framework.
When Earth Matters: Bessie Head’s When Rain Clouds Gather
Authors: Bayer Gerd
Published: July 2019

This essay discusses Bessie Head’s When Rain Clouds Gather from an ecocritical perspective, asking how her late 1960s’ novel already anticipated some of the politics of early twenty-first-century environmental thinking in the postcolonial sphere. The alliance of various marginalized characters who, one way or another, violate against existing hegemonic structures replaces the ideological and cultural conflict over territory, which derived directly from the colonialist past, with an agricultural revolution that aims to empower those who most closely resemble the subaltern classes variously theorized in postcolonial theory. This re-turn to the physical or even Real, to the materiality of the earth, opens up an alternative to the cultural essentialism that, from its beginning, created numerous stumbling stones on the path towards decolonization. Through its turn towards farming and the land and away from cultural forms of hegemony, the novel emphasizes the materiality of reality.
Recommendations for using the Revised Safer Dx Instrument to help measure and improve diagnostic safety
Authors: Singh Hardeep , Khanna Arushi , Spitzmueller Christiane , Meyer Ashley N.D.
Published: July 2019

The medical record continues to be one of the most useful and accessible sources of information to examine the diagnostic process. However, medical record review studies of diagnostic errors have often used subjective judgments and found low inter-rater agreement among reviewers when determining the presence or absence of diagnostic error. In our previous work, we developed a structured data-collection instrument, called the Safer Dx Instrument, consisting of objective criteria to improve the accuracy of assessing diagnostic errors in primary care. This paper proposes recommendations on how clinicians and health care organizations could use the Revised Safer Dx Instrument in identifying and understanding missed opportunities to make correct and timely diagnoses. The instrument revisions addressed both methodological and implementation issues identified during initial use and included refinements to the instrument to allow broader application across all health care settings. In addition to leveraging knowledge from piloting the instrument in several health care settings, we gained insights from multiple researchers who had used the instrument in studies involving emergency care, inpatient care and intensive care unit settings. This allowed us to enhance and extend the scope of this previously validated data collection instrument. In this paper, we describe the refinement process and provide recommendations for application and use of the Revised Safer Dx Instrument across a broad range of health care settings. The instrument can help users identify potential diagnostic errors in a standardized way for further analysis and safety improvement efforts as well as provide data for clinician feedback and reflection. With wider adoption and use by clinicians and health systems, the Revised Safer Dx Instrument could help propel the science of measuring and reducing diagnostic errors forward.

Titanium (Ti) and its alloys have been extensively applied in various fields of chemical industry, marine, aerospace and biomedical devices because of a specific combination of properties such as high strength to weight ratio, exceptional corrosion resistance and excellent biocompatibility. However, friction and wear, corrosion which usually occur on the surfaces of Ti-base components can lead to degradation in both properties and performance. Thermal oxidation (TO) of titanium and its alloys under certain conditions can accomplish significant improvements both in wear resistance and corrosion resistance, without special requirements for substrate geometries. In this review, the studies and applications of TO process in surface damage mitigation titanium and its alloys were reviewed and summarized.

On the Time and Place of the Printing of Francysk Skaryna’s Little Traveler’s Book
Authors: Lemeškin Ilja
Published: July 2019

As we continue to solve the issues of book science of the 16th century, we have to be very guarded in questions of terminology. This is of particular importance when we talk about the Little Traveler’s Book, which begins the history of typography in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. There is a widespread belief that the abovementioned book was printed in Vilnius approximately in 1522. It would be more correct to say that the Little Traveler’s Book was completed in Vilnius. One of its parts – a set of eight Akathists and eight canons – could have been printed earlier in Prague.

This hypothesis can be supported with several arguments. In contrast with the Acts and Epistles of the Apostles (the Apostle, 1525), the Little Traveler’s Book is not dated anywhere and in terms of content, it is a heterogeneous (composite) publication. Considering the content of the Little Traveler’s Book, the elements that particularly stand out are the Akathists and canons that contain unique wood engravings, endpieces, vignettes, borders, and initials. Two wood engravings were made by one “Master of the New Testament,” whose works were published in the Prague Book of Psalms (1517).

The autonomy of an Akathist as a particular publication is accented by the publisher’s acrostic colophon, written in the last Akathist via initials. The Akathists housed in Wroclaw (Wroclaw University Library, No. 305071) can represent the Prague period of typography. E. Nemirovkij’s “evidence” regarding the Vilnius origin of the Akathist is incorrect.
The Contacts of Martin Ludwig Rhesa with Lithuanian Song Collectors Working in the Country
Authors: Citavičiūtė Liucija
Published: July 2019

The personal archive of Martin Ludwig Rhesa (1776–1840), who had gathered and prepared the first known collection of Lithuanian songs, contains the letters of two of Rhesa’s respondents from the country – of Enrikas Budrius (1783–1852), teacher of the Brėdausių estate school, and of Wilhelm Ernst Beerbohm (1786–1865), chief inspector of littoral fishing. The archive itself was taken to Königsberg after the Second World War and is today stored in the Manuscript Department of the Wroblewski Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences. Budrius wrote his letters during 1818–1827 and contained in them songs that he had heard in the Pilupėnų area. He was one of the contributors who had captured the melodies of the songs, which he would hear performed during Lithuanian feasts or other types of gatherings. Budrius has sent more than 20 songs, yet only one – Žvirblytis – was eventually included in the printed collection; Rhesa himself gave a copy to Budrius. The letters contain discussions on Lithuanian songs and their melodies; we see some talks regarding a project to write the Lithuanian history using the Lithuanian language, and there are some personal motives present in the letter as well. Beerbohm, the other respondent, corresponded with Rhesa during the former’s last years, during 1835–1839; these two men were from the same region and had met several times in Königsberg. Beerbohm’s letters contain ample supplementary content – songs and regional vocabularies, fishermen phraseology, Lithuanian names of littoral plants and sea fish, etc. The drawings and schemes of vytinė trading boats and ice fishing, complemented with Lithuanian terms, are the first Lithuanian visual and explanatory dictionaries. Some of these words are not included in any of the Lithuanian dictionaries – not now, and not even then. Each of the respondents have authored a poem dedicated to Rhesa. Budrius wrote his poem in Lithuanian. Four Beerbohm’s letters and three written by Budrius are extant. Judging by the circumstances referred to in the letters, it is possible to state that Rhesa wrote at least four or five letters to these individuals.
Pathophysiology of severe traumatic brain injury and management of intracranial hypertension
Authors: Juškys Raimondas , Hendrixson Vaiva
Published: July 2019

It is well recognized that severe traumatic brain injury causes major health and socioeconomic burdens for patients their families and society itself. Over the past decade, understanding of secondary brain injury processes has increased tremendously, permitting implementation of new neurocritical methods of care that substantially contribute to improved outcomes of such patients. The main objective of current treatment protocols is to optimize different physiological measurements that prevent secondary insults and reinforce the ability of the brain to heal. The aim of this literature review is to uncover the pathophysiological mechanisms of severe traumatic brain injury and their interrelationship, including cerebral metabolic crisis, disturbances of blood flow to the brain and development of edema, putting emphasis on intracranial hypertension and its current management options.

Two Forms of Domination by Reason
Authors: Falomi Matteo
Published: July 2019

In his paper "The Problem of Domination by Reason and its Non-Relativist Solution" Oskari Kuusela describes a problem about our conception of rationality, which he labels the problem of “domination by reason”. This problem has contributed to generate, Kuusela notes, a widespread dissatisfaction with reason, which has resulted in a tendency to discard ideals of rationality altogether. Kuusela, in his paper, provides a response to this dissatisfaction. He argues that Wittgenstein, if we read him correctly, exemplifies a conception of reason that doesn’t incur the problem he indicates. In my response, I suggest a possible extension of Kuusela’s reflections. Domination by reason, as I argue, may also take another form, different from the one recognized by Kuusela. This alternative form is interesting for two reasons. First, those concerned about rationality’s dominance have quite often in mind this latter problem. Second, it is not obvious that the alternative version of the problem can be solved by appealing to the conception of rationality Kuusela locates in Wittgenstein: it could even be argued that such a conception, on a certain construal, may contribute to reinforcing it. I suggest that, if we focus solely on the aspects of Wittgenstein’s method highlighted in Kuusela’s paper, then such methods may be taken to promote domination by reason (in the alternative sense I introduce). There are, however, other aspects of Wittgenstein’s philosophy - most notably, his conception of ethical language - which may help us to dispel this version of the problem.

The Problem of Domination by Reason and Its Non-Relativistic Solution
Authors: Kuusela Oskari
Published: July 2019

This paper outlines a solution to what can be called “the problem of domination by reason”, “conceptual domination” or “clarificatorory injustice”, connected with how a philosopher may appear to be in a position to legitimately coerce, by means of arguments, an interlocutor who shares with her a concept or a conceptual system to accept a philosophical characterization of a concept or whatever the concept concerns. The proposed solution is based on a particular interpretation of what Wittgenstein means by agreement in his later philosophy, when he says that philosophy only states what anyone grants to it. Wittgenstein’s view and the proposed solution are characterized by their continued recognition of the value of logic and reason, truth and knowledge, as opposed to attempting to solve the problem by embracing relativism and questioning the value of the logic, reason, truth and knowledge. Relevant kind of disagreements licence no relativistic conclusions, because problems relating to them can be solved without going this far.

Keywords: domination, relativism, Wittgenstein, method, agreement
Stabilisation of Urmia Lake peat using natural and artificial pozzolans
Authors: Bahadori Hadi , Hasheminezhad Araz , Mohamadi asl Saeid
Published: July 2019

Peat generally found in thick layers in limited areas such as Urmia Lake, Iran has low shear strength and high compressive deformation. Therefore, an appropriate soil improvement method is required. This paper presents an experimental study of the stabilisation of Urmia Lake peat on the Urmia–Tabriz highway, 7·8 km to the east of Urmia city in Iran. A type of fly ash (artificial pozzolan) and two types of volcanic ashes (natural pozzolans) were used in this investigation. Unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and California bearing ratio (CBR) tests were conducted on stabilised mixtures and untreated soil samples after 3 and 7 d of curing. According to the obtained results, the UCS of peat can be increased by using both the fly ash and the volcanic ash, but the amount of strength increase depends on the organic content, water content, stabiliser content and its particle size. Furthermore, the CBR test showed that the filling property of the stabiliser is as useful as its pozzolanic activity in increasing the bearing capacity of peat in road constructions.

ORTAOKUL 8. SINIF ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN TÜRKÇE DERS VE ÇALIŞMA KİTAPLARINDAKİ YABANCI SÖZCÜKLERİ ANLAMA VE KULLANMA DÜZEYLERİ
Authors: Aşılıoğlu Bayram
Published: July 2019

Bu araştırma, öğrencilerin 8. Sınıf Türkçe ders ve çalışma kitaplarında geçen yabancı sözcükleri anlama ve kullanma düzeylerini belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Öğrencilerin Türkçeyi doğru kullanabilmeleri için zengin bir sözcük dağarcığına sahip olmaları gerekir. Bu hedefe ulaşmalarının iki önemli ortamı ders ve çalışma kitabıdır. Öğrenciler ders kitaplarındaki metinleri okuyup inceleyerek, çalışma kitaplarında da öğrendiği sözcüklerle çeşitli etkinlikler yaparak sözcük dağarcıklarını zenginleştirirler. Böylece Türkçeyi doğru, özenle ve güvenle kullanma alışkanlığı kazanırlar. Araştırmada, öğrencilerin Türkçe ders ve çalışma kitaplarında yer alan 33 yabancı sözcüğü duyma sıklıkları, anlamlarını bilip bilmedikleri ve doğru kullanılıp kullanılmadıkları belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri, 2013-2014 öğretim yılı bahar yarıyılı sonunda ortaokulların 8. sınıfında okuyan 620 öğrenciden elde edilmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre öğrencilerin büyük bir kısmının bu sözcükleri duymadıkları, Türkçe dersinde görmüş olmalarına karşın sözcüklerin anlamlarını bilmedikleri ve anlamlı bir tümce içinde kullanamadıkları anlaşılmıştır. Bu sonuca göre 8. Sınıf Türkçe ders ve çalışma kitaplarının söz varlığı açısından hangi özellikleri taşımaları gerektiği tartışılarak önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
И. А. Бунин: тайны явления и жизни классика
Authors: Ильинский Игорь Михайлович
Published: July 2019

В то время, когда в Одессе воруют мемориальною доску cо стены на доме, где жил автор «Окаянных дней», в нашей стране готовятся с размахом отметить 150-летие со дня рождения первого русского нобелевского лауреата И. А. Бунина. 20 марта 2019 г. руководитель Федерального агентства по печати и массовым коммуникациям, председатель оргкомитета по подготовке и проведению его празднования М. В. Сеславинский утвердил План основных мероприятий на 2019–2020 гг.

М. В. Сеславинский отметил: «Иван Алексеевич Бунин для всех для нас — любимый писатель и поэт, в судьбе которого, как в капле воды, отразились все перипетии XX века, дореволюционной России и эмиграции. Нельзя сказать, что его имя было забыто в советские годы, но все равно долг остался перед памятью, перед творчеством, и задача оргкомитета сегодня поднять фигуру Бунина на тот пьедестал, который он заслуживает». В соответствии с планом юбилейные мероприятия в 2020 г. пройдут в Москве, Санкт-Петербурге, Воронеже, Орле и других городах страны. Это будут публикации изданий, открытие музеев, проведение фестивалей, научных, образовательных и культурно-просветительских мероприятий, конкурсов, тематические выставки, творческие вечера, посвященные памяти великого русского писателя.

В этом году ректор Московского гуманитарного университета, председатель Попечительского совета Международной литературной Бунинской премии профессор Игорь Михайлович Ильинский стал лауреатом Национальной премии «Лучшие книги года — 2018» в номинации «Культура, культурология» за монографию «И. Бунин — “буревестник” революции». Среди лауреатов этого года Юрий Михайлович Поляков, Владимир Ростиславович Мединский, Татьяна Васильевна Доронина, Лео Антонович Бокерия, Михаил Геннадиевич Делягин, Игорь Юрьевич Юргенс, Зденек Грабица (Чехия), Стивен Коэн (США), Чжии Цай (КНР), Мирослав Даниш (Словакия), Мария Кирилловна Залеская, Михаил Зиновьевич Юрьев и др.

Национальная премия «Лучшие книги года» была учреждена в 2000 г. Российской государственной библиотекой, «Литературной газетой», Русским биографическим институтом, культурно-просветительским центром «Орден».

В своей монографии И. М. Ильинский делится мыслями об особых чертах личности и творчества И. А. Бунина, снимая ненужный глянец с образа выдающегося писателя и поэта. В преддверии бунинского юбилея редакция журнала «Знание. Понимание. Умение» публикует главу из этой книги.
