Language Needs Analysis: An Initial Investigation on Malaysian Drivers for Alternative Taxi Company
Authors: Kamaruddin Siti Noor Diana Mohd , Izehari Zulaikha Farhana , Sukimin Ira Syaqira
Published: December 2017

Alternative taxi service has started becoming a trend and gained popularity all over the world. In Malaysia, people depend on conventional taxis for many decades which are registered under Public Transport Commission. With the advancement of technology, a few applications were introduced and passengers and conventional taxi drivers started installing them to accept or reject passengers. However, when the popular American alternative taxi service (Uber) arrived in Malaysia, it has become popular among passengers when new drivers emerged as many people started registering and using the application. The study attempts to explore the language needs of Malaysian taxi drivers (particularly alternative taxi service) and the challenges they face when communicating in the English Language with their passengers. A case study design was employed in the study which a total of three participants (part-time drivers living in Klang Valley area, registered under the same alternative taxi company in Malaysia) were interviewed through open-ended and semi structured interview questions. The findings show there are three main challenges faced by these drivers when communicating in English Language with their passengers which are (1) struggle to comprehend communication in English Language with native speakers, (2) difficulty in making conversations and keeping them going, and (3) difficulty in understanding and communicating with non-native speakers from non-English Language speaking countries. Another findings show that the English Language is used with passengers for four reasons: (1) using English Language to reply passengers' text message, (2) using English Language to spark general conversation with passengers, (3) using English Language to communicate with foreign passengers; and (4) using English Language to convey precise information to passengers. Therefore, alternative taxi companies should consider offering courses related to enhancing their drivers’ competency in English communication. English courses developed explicitly for the purpose of communication between drivers and passengers may take the results found from this study into account. The findings should be able to assist in developing a course that would aid drivers into strategizing their communication with passengers.
Podstawy teologiczne działalności charytatywnej
Authors: Lipiec Dariusz
Published: December 2017

Działalność charytatywna, podobnie jak wszystkie inne formy posługi pastoralnej Kościoła, ma swoje zakorzenienie w objawieniu Bożym i „Magisterium ecclesiae”. W artykule zostały przedstawione podstawy teologiczne posługi charytatywnej realizowanej we wspólnocie Kościoła. Na początku zostało ukazane trynitarne pochodzenie miłości chrześcijańskiej. Ma ona źródło w miłości osób Trójcy Świętej, którą obdarowują się one nawzajem, oraz udzielają jej człowiekowi. Następnie omówione zostały podstawy chrystologiczne działalności charytatywnej. Opiera się ona na słowach i czynach Chrystusa, wynikających z Jego miłości zbawczej. Podstawy pneumatologiczne są osadzone na chrześcijańskiej posłudze miłości w świetle działania Ducha Świętego całej wspólnoty wierzących i poszczególnych jej członków. Podstawy eklezjologiczne wiążą się natomiast z zadaniami i możliwością realizacji działalności charytatywnej we wspólnotach kościelnych.
Motywacje wolontariuszy Światowych Dni Młodzieży 2016 - wyniki badań
Authors: Bomber Kamil
Published: December 2017

Człowiek nie umie żyć bez miłości i bardzo często odczuwa potrzebę dzielenia się miłością z otaczającym go światem i innymi ludźmi. To właśnie troska o dobro drugiego człowieka, inspirowana szlachetnością i wrażliwością serca, powinna być podstawą każdej działalności filantropijnej i wolontariackiej. Wolontariat jako idea szczególna pozwala na ratowanie ginącej nadziei na lepsze jutro i życie. Bez nadziei przecież trudno normalnie egzystować, a każdy nowy dzień jawi się jako smutna konieczność. W sposób szczególny pragniemy przyjrzeć się motywacji wolontariuszy, którzy poświęcali nie tylko swój czas, ale również swoje zdolności, umiejętności czy dobra materialne do dyspozycji młodego Kościoła. zagadnienie to jest nie tyle interesujące, ile niesie ze sobą ważny aspekt praktyczny. Poznając główne motywy wolontariatu, jesteśmy w stanie poznać jego istotę, zrozumieć siłę napędową działania danych jednostek. Ważne jest to również z punktu widzenia samych wolontariuszy. Jeśli będą znali motywy swojego działania, dużo prościej będzie im wybrać takie świadczenia, które pozwolą im osiągnąć określoną satysfakcję. Ważne jest przecież, aby wolontariusz miał poczucie, że jego praca jest potrzeba i ma jakiś sens. to przekłada się na jego zaangażowanie. W wolontariacie przecież nie chodzi o satysfakcję o podłożu finansowym, ale o taką, która wynika z chęci pomocy. Często taka motywacja jest nieporównywanie wyższa, niż materialna. W niniejszej pracy zawarte są wyniki badań naukowych dotyczących motywacji wolontariuszy podczas ŚDM 2016.
Osoba formatora w procesie interioryzacji wartości z uwzględnieniem aspektów dynamiki obecności i nieobecności
Authors: Stepień Artur
Published: December 2017

Formator to osoba, która jest zdolna służyć drugiemu tak, że razem postępują w procesie stawania się coraz bardziej ludzcy. Obydwoje bowiem są dziećmi dzisiejszego świata i dziedziczą z niego zarówno silne, jak i słabe cechy. Formator ma być wystarczająco dobry, co oznacza wrażliwość potrzebną do odpowiadania na potrzeby formowanego poprzez swoją obecność, ale również umiejętność dawania potrzebnej przestrzeni do doświadczania tych potrzeb, jednak w wymiarze, który nie będzie oznaczał straty. Widoczna jest w tym rola dynamiki obecności i nieobecności poprzez doświadczenie satysfakcji i frustracji. Te elementy są obecne w relacji formacyjnej po to, by kandydat mógł poczuć się bezpiecznie i mógł aktywnie szukać odpowiedzi na pytania drzemiące w nim. Ten który przyjmuje rolę towarzyszenia, powinien zdobyć umiejętność balansowania pomiędzy pełnią (obecność) i brakiem (nieobecność). Słabością formatora jest bycie niewystarczająco innym, co pozwala na przyjęcie roli granicy, która staje się wyzwaniem i zaproszeniem do transcendencji.

Published: December 2017

Appropriate approach to the nature of systems is a significant precondition for its successful control. An always actual issue of its mutual coupling is considered in this paper. A multivariable system with two-inputs and two-outputs (TITO) is in the focus here. The dominant pole placement method is used in trying to tune the PID controllers that should support the decoupling control. The aim is to determine parameters of the PID controllers which, in combination with decoupler, can obtain a good dynamical behavior of the system. Therefore, this kind of the centralized analytically obtained controller is used for object control. Another goal is to simplify the tuning procedure of PID controllers and enlarge the possibility for introducing the given approach into practice. But the research results indicate that the proposed procedure leads to the usage of P controllers because they enable the best performances for the considered object. Also, it is noticed that some differences from the usual rules in selection of the dominant poles gives better results. The research is supported by simulations and, therefore, the proposed method effectiveness, regarding the system behavior quality, is presented on several examples.

Published: December 2017

The main consideration of any reeling system is the effect it has on cable tensions and hence cable life. This paper explains the relationship of reel torque to cable tensions and the reasons why this relationship is so important. Such system is characterized by variable parameters, primarily a variable moment of inertia and a variable diameter of the coiled cable. For these reasons, in order to ensure proper dimensioning of the drive, it is necessary to know the motor torques that need to be developed as a function of the coiled cable. The motor should be able to develop the required torques in a very wide speed range. It is shown that for properly sizing the motor it is necessary take into account the dynamics of the cable reel drive. In this paper monospiral motorized cable reel for winding power cable in crane applications with frequency converter fed induction motor is analyzed. Also, the equipment selection procedure for the real crane with concrete data is shown. Experimental results are recorded during the crane commissioning in real condition.

Cacao plant is one of the plantation crops which contribute to improving economic for the Province of Central Sulawesi. This study aimed to prepare and test the flour quality of cocoa beans flour after soaking in salt water, NaCl, and lime water, Ca(OH)2, at various concentrations. Samples were cocoa beans taken from Rantekala Sigi Province of Central Sulawesi, furthermore, the cocoa beans were made into flour. Results showed that the moisture, ash, fat, and carbohydrate of cocoa beans flour were almost met the ISO standard, with the exception of the protein level, i.e 5.0% for max. moisture level, 1.6% for max. ash level, 10.0% for min. fat level, and 70% of min. carbohydrates level. But, the best quality was from soaking with lime water at a concentration of 20% with a value of 2.8% moisture level, at a concentration of 15% with a value of 24.6% level, and at a concentration of 10% with a value of 78.26% carbohydrate level. However, for the ash level, the best quality was by soaking in salt water at a concentration of 5% with a value of 4.1%. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the cocoa beans flour is better soaked in lime water than salt water.

Published: December 2017

Introduction/Objective. An association between restless legs syndrome (RLS) and etiologically different polyneuropathies is well established. However, the investigations about the prevalence of RLS in diabetic polyneuropathy (DP) have led to controversy. Our study objective was to determine the frequency of RLS in patients with distal symmetrical polyneuropathy in patients with diabetes and identify possible risk factors for its occurrence in this group of patients. Method. We investigated 101 consecutive patients with distal DP. RLS was diagnosed according to the International RLS Study Group diagnostic criteria. The distal symmetrical polyneuropathy was confirmed by the electromyoneurographic study performed in each patient. Results. Overall RLS was present in 27 (26.73%) patients. The comparison between patients with and without RLS revealed that the RLS+ group included more women than men (14.85/9.90% vs. 35.64/37.62%, non-significant), patients were significantly younger (60.58 ? 10.54 vs. 65.57 ? 10.94 years, p ? 0.05), sensory polyneuropathy was significantly more common (17/27 vs. 34/74, p ? 0.05); the average level of the total serum calcium concentration was higher in the RLS + group than in non-RLS (2.43 ? 0.26 vs. 2.28 ? 0.39; p ? 0.05). However, multivariate logistic regression analysis did not demonstrate these as significant independent risk factors for RLS in DP. Conclusions. RLS is common in DP and occurs in more than a quarter of these patients. Though sensory forms and higher total serum calcium concentration were associated with RLS, neither of these has been identified as a significant single risk factor for the development of RLS in DP.
Regulation of Lipolytic Response and Energy Balance by Melanocortin 2 Receptor Accessory Protein (MRAP) in Adipocytes
Authors: Zhang Xiaodong , Saarinen Alicia M. , Campbell Latoya E. , De Filippis Elena A. , Liu Jun
Published: December 2017

Melanocortin 2 receptor accessory protein (MRAP) is highly expressed in adrenal gland and adipose tissue. In adrenal cells, MRAP is essential for adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)–induced activation of the cAMP/protein kinase A (PKA) pathway by melanocortin 2 receptor (MC2R), leading to glucocorticoid production and secretion. Although ACTH was known to stimulate PKA-dependent lipolysis, the functional involvement of MRAP in adipocyte metabolism remains incompletely defined. Herein, we found that knockdown or overexpression of MRAP in 3T3-L1 adipocytes reduced or increased ACTH-induced lipolysis, respectively. Moreover, an unbiased proteomics screen and coimmunoprecipitation analysis identified Gαs as a novel interacting partner of MRAP. An MRAP mutant disabled in Gαs association failed to augment the activation of PKA and lipolytic response to ACTH. Furthermore, compared with wild-type mice, transgenic mice (aP2-MRAP) overexpressing MRAP fat specifically exhibited increased lipolytic response to ACTH. When fed a high-fat diet (HFD), the transgenic mice displayed a significant decrease in the gain of adiposity and body weight as well as an improvement in glucose and insulin tolerance. These phenotypes were accompanied by increased adipose expression of genes for mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and thermogenesis, and overall energy expenditure. Collectively, our data strongly suggest that MRAP plays a critical role in the regulation of ACTH-induced adipose lipolysis and whole-body energy balance.

Position of the Countries of the Visegrad Group in Conditions of the Worsening European Migration Crisis
Authors: Chetverikova Anna S.
Published: December 2017

Migration challenges facing the EU aggravated many internal contradictions of the union. The Visegrad Group and its actually common policy in relation to refugees is a reflection of a part of current processes within the EU. Although formal institutions are not formed, the countries of the V4 are regulating migration questions on a regional level involving the neighboring countries during more than two years. The article is devoted to a research of the Visegrad Group’s actions in conditions of the European migration crisis that includes participation in pan-European measures to tackle refugee’s inflow and initiatives of the Visegrad Group itself and its member countries. Although Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic are affected differently by the migration crisis, all countries were able to develop a common position in relation to inflow of refugees. The key position of the countries became a rejection of the European resettlement scheme and quota allocation. So far, despite the pressure from the European Commission and the criticism from several international organizations the V4 does not intend to take part in the quota system. The current migration crisis did not cause disagreement and weakening of the Visegrad Group, as several experts sometime say. On the contrary, the existing challenges gave an opportunity to this sub-regional group to be more heard at the EU level. Slovakia’s presidency of the EU Council in the second half of 2016 played a part in this process, in which Slovakia tried to transfer ideas of the sub-regional grouping to an all-European level. The article provides a substantiation of the Visegrad Group’s vision of migration problems based on both socio-economic and political factors. It is possible to single out the orientation in the immigration policy mainly not in the countries of Africa and the Middle East, where the main flow of refugees is coming from. The lower level of socio-economic development of the V4’s countries compared to others members of the EU makes the Visegrad Group into transit territory. The political forces are important also, which currently head the countries of the Visegrad Group and are opponents of mass migration.
Liikuntapaikkojen saavutettavuus fyysisesti inaktiivisilla miehillä Kymenlaakson taajamissa
Authors: Lehtonen Olli , Kauronen Marja-Leena
Published: December 2017

Tutkimusten perusteella liikunnan harrastaminen on lisääntynyt viimeisten vuosikymmenien aikana, mutta silti osa väestöstä on fyysisesti inaktiivisia eli ei liiku riittävästi oman terveytensäylläpitämiseksi. Liikunnan harrastamismäärät ovat yhteydessä sosioekonomisiin eroihin, sillä mitä korkeampi sosioekonominen asema, sitä todennäköisemmin liikkuu terveysliikuntasuositusten mukaisesti. Fyysisen inaktiivisuuden syyt selittyvät pääosin yksilöllisillä tekijöillä, mutta myös asuinympäristön valinnan mahdollisuuksilla on todettu olevan merkitystä fyysiselle aktiivisuudelle. Tavoitteena tässä artikkelissa on tutkia fyysisesti inaktiivisten miesten väestöruuduttaista jakautumista kaupunkitilassa suhteessa liikuntapaikkojen saavutettavuuteen. Avaamme artikkelissa yleisesti liikunnallisen elämäntavan valinnan mahdollisuuksien paikkasidonnaisuutta ja liikuntapaikkojen saavutettavuuden vaihtelua sosioekonomisesti erilaisten asuinalueiden kesken. Artikkelin aineistot pohjautuvat kyselytutkimukseen, itseraportoituihin liikuntatietoihin ja Ruututietokannan sekä LIPAS-tietokannan paikkatietoaineistoihin. Näitä aineistoja käsitellään paikkatietoanalyyseihin, kuten saavutettavuuslaskennalla sekä spatiaalisella optimoinnilla. Tulokset osoittavat, että väestöruudun sosioekonominen tausta heijastuu miesten fyysiseen aktiivisuuteen. Fyysisesti inaktiiviset miehet kasautuvat pienituloisten vuokra-asujien väestöruutuihin, joissa heidän suhteellinen osuus on suurin, mutta joissa myös väestötiheys on suurinta. Epätasaisen jakautumisen vuoksi fyysisesti inaktiivisilla miehillä liikuntapaikkojen saavutettavuus on taajaan asutuilla alueilla heikompaa kuin koko väestöllä keskimäärin.
O TRABALHO NA PROSTITUIÇÃO DE LUXO: ANÁLISE DOS SENTIDOS PRODUZIDOS POR PROSTITUTAS EM BELO HORIZONTE – MG
Authors: Teixeira Silva Késia Aparecida , Carvalho Alves Cappelle Mônica
Published: December 2017

O trabalho, antes visto apenas como meio de sobrevivência e acúmulo de riqueza, tornou-se uma das principais dimensões da vida humana, fazendo com que os indivíduos sejam identificados mediante as atividades que realizam. Diversos estudos abordam o trabalho por meio dos sentidos que os trabalhadores atribuem à atividade que realizam, como é o caso da presente pesquisa que investiga os sentidos produzidos por uma categoria distante das profissões formais e subalternizada: as prostitutas de luxo. Nesse intuito, objetiva-se apreender os sentidos subjetivos produzidos por prostitutas de luxo, acerca do trabalho que desempenham. No intuito de conferir maior clareza aos temas abordados, o referencial teórico dissertou sobre os sentidos do trabalho e a prostituição de luxo. A pesquisa classificou-se como qualitativa-descritiva e pesquisa de campo, constituída por uma amostra de 5 mulheres prostitutas de luxo atuantes em Belo Horizonte. A análise dos resultados identificou aspectos positivos e negativos na prática da prostituição de luxo. Ainda que as concepções existentes sobre essa profissão tendam a mostrar os aspectos negativos com mais veemência, apareceram aspectos positivos que revelaram muito sobre essa atividade. Observou-se também que algumas participantes compreendem seu trabalho como uma experiência fantasiosa, que permite que construam diferentes identidades, tendo em vista que os clientes idealizam na prostituta a figura feminina perfeita que gostariam de ter ao seu lado, esquecendo-se que a finalidade da relação é meramente econômica. Ademais, constatou-se que a prostituição influencia outros espaços de atuação de suas profissionais, sendo os espaços familiar, sentimental e social, os mais afetados.
POBREZA E GÊNERO: A MARGINALIZAÇÃO DE TRAVESTIS E TRANSEXUAIS PELO DIREITO
Authors: Pereira Fabio Queiroz , Costa Gomes Jordhana Maria
Published: December 2017

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a relação entre pobreza e gênero, a partir da situação de marginalização vivenciada por travestis e transexuais. Trata-se de uma investigação de vertente jurídico-teórica e de tipo jurídico-propositivo, que busca trabalhar bases normativas e doutrinárias, para a formulação de novos enquadramentos relativos à matéria. O percurso investigativo é iniciado com uma análise de natureza conceitual, apoiando-se, principalmente, nas construções teóricas de Judith Butler sobre gênero, performatividade e abjeção. Em seguida, o tema da pobreza é abordado, buscando verificar como se dá o seu enquadramento e como se relaciona com a atual situação em que se encontram travestis e transexuais no Brasil. Por fim, as noções de reconhecimento e justiça social, formuladas por Axel Honneth, são apresentadas como subsídios para a proteção dos trangêneros, tendo em vista que o nosso Direito acaba por, muitas vezes, perpetuar mecanismos de manutenção da pobreza, quando deveria se apoiar em instrumentos que permitissem a emancipação de grupos sociais minoritários. Somente por meio do reconhecimento e da justiça social poder-se-ia efetivamente implementar direitos fundamentais no contexto da nossa atual democracia.

ORDENAMIENTO CONSTITUCIONAL, DEFENSA NACIONAL Y RELACIONES POLITICO MILITARES
Authors: Navarro Meza Miguel
Published: December 2017

Desde los albores de su vida independiente, los diversos textos constitucionales que ha tenido Chile han incorporado contenidos que dice relación con la defensa, la soberanía y la seguridad nacional. De igual modo, dichos textos han reconocido la existencia los cuerpos armados del Estado, bajo la denominación genérica de fuerza pública y han regulado los aspectos básicos de su relación con la autoridad política, Ejecutivo y Congreso. Este no ha sido un proceso constante. Por el contrario, ha experimentado altibajos y retrocesos, pero la línea ha sido clara. Desde luego, las normas relativas a las fuerzas militares han tenido, comparativamente, un mayor desarrollo que aquellas referidas a la defensa, la soberanía y la seguridad nacional. Luego, a partir de la Constitución de 1833, los elementos fundamentales de las relaciones entre las autoridades políticas y los militares se han desarrollado en términos de asegurar un genuino control civil sobre los uniformados, conforme a las teorías contemporáneas de las relaciones políticoDmilitares. La forma como la Constitución de 1980 contiene alusiones a la seguridad de la nación y a su defensa así como las normas que reconocen la existencia de las Fuerzas Armadas, le otorga sus misiones y regulan la forma como se relaciones con las autoridades políticas, son el resultado de un proceso progresivo que viene desde el eglamento Provisorio de 1811 y que, en la época presente, se corresponden con los teorías contemporáneas de las relaciones políticoDmilitares en democracia.

Published: December 2017

The evolvement of Internet of thing (IoT) is undeniable by making the management process become more ease at lowest cost as possible. Product lifecycle management (PLM) is a best approach to be embedded the IoT for the entire manufacturing processes. Real cases reported for weak PLM implemented like late market entry faced by A380 while Toyota faced cost loses in repair, deals and market share from massive called made which effect on company reputations. In this paper, traceability becomes a factor among man, machine and management in order to make fast respond on the data retrieved. The term traceability is measured based on response time in real time system to track the information in just in time for one-to-one communicationthrough JAVA programming and two different operating systems as an approach. The communication can be occurred in less than 20seconds within two different machines. The traceability time is a performance measure for just in time data process which the human behavior factor is neglected for this study. The fastest time response have a potential to optimize the manufacturing management, make more efficient and offer the traceability on product/project status beside improve the flexibility, maintainability, reusability as well as extensibility.
Trajectory Segmentation Map-Matching Approach for Large-Scale, High-Resolution GPS Data
Authors: Zhu Lei , Holden Jacob R. , Gonder Jeffrey D.
Published: December 2017

With the development of smartphones and portable GPS devices, large-scale, high-resolution GPS data can be collected. Map matching is a critical step in studying vehicle driving activity and recognizing network traffic conditions from the data. A new trajectory segmentation map-matching algorithm is proposed to deal accurately and efficiently with large-scale, high-resolution GPS trajectory data. The new algorithm separated the GPS trajectory into segments. It found the shortest path for each segment in a scientific manner and ultimately generated a best-matched path for the entire trajectory. The similarity of a trajectory segment and its matched path is described by a similarity score system based on the longest common subsequence. The numerical experiment indicated that the proposed map-matching algorithm was very promising in relation to accuracy and computational efficiency. Large-scale data set applications verified that the proposed method is robust and capable of dealing with real-world, large-scale GPS data in a computationally efficient and accurate manner.
A novel duraplasty technique following fenestration of a massive lumbar arachnoid cyst in a patient with scoliosis: technical case report
Authors: Neal Matthew T. , Hlubek Randall J. , Ropper Alexander E. , Kakarla U. Kumar
Published: December 2017

When a dural defect is encountered during spine surgery, the dura mater must be reconstituted to minimize the occurrence of minor or major life-threatening sequelae. The neurosurgical literature lacks strategies for managing large dural defects encountered during surgery. The authors describe a 24-year-old man who developed cauda equina syndrome secondary to altered CSF flow in a large thoracolumbar arachnoid cyst. Surgical decompression and fenestration of the arachnoid cyst were performed, and the large dural defect was treated using a multilayer closure with collagen matrix, titanium mesh, and methylmethacrylate. At his 24-month postoperative follow-up, the patient had recovered full strength in his legs, and his sensory deficits and sexual dysfunction had resolved. His incision had healed well, and there were no signs of pseudomeningocele. He had no additional positional headaches. The defect was managed effectively with this technique. Although this technique is not a first-line strategy for dural closure in the spine, it can be considered in challenging cases when large dural defects are not amenable to traditional closure techniques.
