Published: September 2018

Activities of prominent terrorist groups like Boko Haram, Al-Shabaab, Ansaru, and Ansar Dine have left thousands of people dead and properties destroyed for a number of decades in some developing nations. The high level of insecurity occasioned by operations of terror groups has impacted negatively on the socio-economic development of these nations. On the other hand, the use of mobile devices, such as cell phones, has gained prominence in developing nations over the past two decades. Putting side-by-side these two facts, namely, that the menace of terrorism among some developing nations is alarming and that the use of mobile devices is common among citizens of developing countries, this chapter develops a mobile application prototype called TerrorWatch. TerrorWatch is equipped with relevant menus, buttons, and interfaces that will guide a user on what to do when confronted with a terrorist attack or threat. The unified modeling language (UML) was deployed to design the architecture of the application, while the object-oriented paradigm served in the implementation.

Authors: Singh Yatendra Pal
Published: September 2018

Everyday number of new cases of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome AIDS is coming out in the society. HIV positives face discrimination and stigmatization everywhere in the society because firstly it is ill defined and secondly there is no cure or treatment for. People living with HIV/AIDS continue to be rejected by friends and relatives; fired or forced to resign from their jobs and subjected to violent assault (Herrek, 1990). Social Work exists because it fulfills crucial social needs. Social work serves people and society where there is malfunctioning or inadequacy. Social Work Education includes several tools and techniques to prevent problems through diagnosing causes responsible for maladjustment in society for contributing global peace in the world. The present chapter throws light on- 1. The problems face by HIV Positives and AIDS Patients. 2. Role of Social Work Education for minimizing or removing stress of HIV Positives and AIDS Patients for contributing to Global Peace.
Chronic Mental Illness in Old Age Homes
Authors: Akbar Shamsi , Khurana Hitesh
Published: September 2018

Aging is a part of natural developmental process in the life of any living being. For human beings it is not just a biological phenomenon but it has psychological and social implications too. Some of the areas that would be affected include those related to health and health care, family composition, living arrangement, housing and migration. As a result of these socio-demographic evolutions and situations, older adults at times are forced to shift from their own homes to institutions/ Old age homes OAH. Living in OAH evokes a picture of apathy, dependence, and sadness which make the older adults increasingly vulnerable to mental health problems. Further there is also a strong need to develop suitable strategies to implement better mental health programmes and guidelines for the CMI in old age homes.
GWAS as the Detective to Find Genetic Contribution in Diseases
Authors: Bhattacharya Simanti , Das Amit
Published: September 2018

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a powerful method to understand the complex association of variant in gene and disease phenotype. With the approach of GWAS, the traditional “one gene to one disease” belief has been taken to another dimension where a rather complex scenario of many possible causal agent (polymorphisms) behind disease onset is explicitly explored. It also gives the liberty to monitor the difference at each point of DNA for each individual in the sample. GWAS is powered with genome mapping projects and depends on stringent statistical analysis that detects the association of polymorphisms to disease phenotype after comparing the samples collected from afflicted and un-afflicted population. However, this method also has its own limitations. But with careful experiment design and unbiased analysis this GWAS, in near future, will become a new edge technology to decipher the disease mechanism so that effective therapeutics, tailored for specific cases can be developed.

Health literacy concerns the knowledge and competences of patient to meet the complex demands of health in modern healthcare. Providing effective patient information means acknowledging, understanding, and overcoming barriers to health literacy that physicians, health professionals, and patients might experience. Health literacy affects health behavior and the use of health services, thus affecting health outcomes and health costs in the healthcare organizations. The benefits of health literacy improvement include improved communication, greater adherence to treatment, greater ability to engage in self-care, improved health status, greater healthcare efficiency, and cost savings to the healthcare systems.
Virtual Reality as Distraction Technique for Pain Management in Children and Adolescents
Authors: Atzori Barbara , Hoffman Hunter G. , Vagnoli Laura , Messeri Andrea , Grotto Rosapia Lauro
Published: September 2018

For a growing number of medical procedures, patients remain awake during the procedure, they feel pain during the medical procedure, and they remember the pain after the procedure is over. Inadequately controlled pain during medical procedures using pain medications alone for pain control is a worldwide medical problem. Having patients conscious and feeling pain during medical procedures is especially problematic in children who need repeated medical procedures, such as pediatric patients with large severe burn injuries. Because pain has a strong psychological component, a number of unhelpful psychological factors can unintentionally amplify how much pain, fear, and anxiety children experience during painful medical procedures. Fortunately, psychological treatments can be used to help reduce pain and anxiety. Virtual reality is one promising adjunctive analgesic. There is a growing literature showing the potential of immersive virtual reality as a psychological pain control technique that can be used in addition to traditional pain medications the patient is already receiving. The current chapter reviews a number of studies on virtual reality analgesia in pediatric patients, towards the goal of helping reduce excessive pain in children during medical procedures. The current chapter evaluates the effectiveness of VR during several painful procedures in pediatric and adolescent patients, its applicability, and the potential for wider dissemination of VR analgesia in clinical settings. The current review considers factors involved in the effectiveness of VR analgesia, such as the quality of the VR system used.

In environments with inadequate social and material resources, they are unable to attain their optimal development. The higher level of fatalities as a consequence of malnutrition is undesirable. The present article examines whether the rural area's parents exhibit a positive and favorable attitude towards their children's nutritional status as a result of increasing awareness regarding nutritional foods through endeavors and macro level initiatives.
Casamentos prematuros em Moçambique: causas e consequências de abandono escolar e meninas com futuros destroçados
Authors: Bassiano Victor , Lima Claúdia Araújo de
Published: September 2018

ResumoEste artigo pretende evidenciar os determinantes da persistência dos Casamentos Prematuros em Moçambique e seu impacto nas crianças do ensino primário. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental, com embasamento bibliográfico e a análise de conteúdos da legislação internacional e moçambicana, produções científicas e documentos oficiais relacionados a Casamentos Prematuros, em especial considerando as meninas e sua interface com a Educação formal. A análise levou à constatação da ambiguidade da legislação, que dá margem a variantes de interpretações, dada a heterogeneidade étnica e cultural de Moçambique. No país, há um diferencial relevante: mais da metade da população vive na região rural, local que é o berço das culturas, hábitos e crenças que propiciam as situações de casamento precoce.  Este estudo sugere que cada Escola reverta essa prática comprometedora, disseminando e esclarecendo a legislação para maior conscientização de meninas que ainda estudam, de outras que já estão casadas e daquelas que se encontram em situação em risco, junto com seus pais ou responsáveis, autoridades comunitárias e tradicionais locais.

Authors: Amel Naceur , Fouzia Adjadj
Published: September 2018

In this work we discussed the modeling of the demixing curve in the liquid state in the Lead – Zinc binary system. We are interested to recalculate the free energies relating on Pb-Zn alloys for several temperatures based on the thermodynamic data collected in the bibliography. This calculation allows us to trace the curve of phase separation from a program after obtaining the mole fractions corresponding to the common tangent to the curve of the free energy with two minima at different temperatures. To do this, we used the Matlab 7.1 as the programming language and the Redlich-Kister polynomial as a mathematical model of development. The results obtained are very satisfactory by comparing them with those of the bibliography.

Published: September 2018

Graphene was incorporated into elastomeric Matrices using dispersion kneader and two roller mixing mill to fabricate ablative nanocomposites used in hyperthermal environment encountered by space vehicle or rocket motor. The addition of graphene in the host matrix has remarkably reduced the backface temperature elevation during the ablation testing of the ablatives. The linear and mass ablation resistances have been diminished while insulation indexes of the nanocomposites have been increased the graphene incorporation into the elastomeric matrix. Thermal stability and heat absorbance capability of the polymer nanocomposites were progressed with increasing the filler to matrix ratio. Thermal conductivity of the ablatives have been conducted according to the ASTM E1225-99 and D5470-03, respectively to execute the effect of graphene concentration on the thermal transport characteristics of the tested specimens. Tensile strength of the nanocomposite specimen was augmented with increasing graphene to polymer ratio. Scanning electron microscopy was used to scrutinize the evenly dispersed graphene in the polymer matrix, polymer pyrolysis, and voids formation in the ablated nanocomposites.

Published: September 2018

Strontium hexaferrite is a material of choice due its various magnetic applications. Energy losses are a prominent issue in these magnetic materials. To lower these energy losses, we need to improve the resistivity by reducing eddy current losses. In this work nanoparticles of Gadolinium (Gd) doped Sr-hexaferrite (SrFe12-xGdxO19 x =0 .0, 0.1) have been synthesized by co-precipitation method. Structural analysis was done by using X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). It was found that the formation of single phase i.e. hexagonal structure has been achieved when the samples were sintered at 920°C for 20 minutes. AC electrical properties such as conductivity (ac), dielectric constant (ε′), dielectric loss (tanδ) and impedance (Z); real (Z') and imaginary (Z") parts have been studied as a function of frequency at room temperature. Aim of the work was to enhance the resistivity and was successfully achieved. Gd doped sample is proposed as an energy efficient material to be used in devices working at high frequencies.
Development and Characterization of Teflon-Copper Composite Material
Authors: Hamid Imran , Rauf Abdul , Nasim Faisal , Siddique Muhammad , Gul Adnan
Published: September 2018

Composites are the combination of materials that are mixed together to achieve specific structural properties. Teflon (Polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE) consists of long-chain molecular structure. Its monomer consists of two carbon atoms each of them having flourine atoms attached. Bonds within each chain are strong covalent bonds where as the secondary bonds between two chains are weaker. By raising temperature, the distance between the chains increases providing good adjustment of the atoms of other materials due to anisotropy of its mechanical properties. Powder metallurgy technique using hot isostatic pressing, a hybrid densification process in which pressure and temperature are applied at the same time, has been used to develop a teflon-copper composite material. Three samples were prepared by changing the teflon-copper composition as 60:40%, 65:35% and 70:30% by weight. Commercially available powders of teflon and copper of grain size ~ 40 μm was used. The aim to develop this type of material was to increase its density (~ 4 g/cm3), and hardness. The commercial applications of such type of composite material are solid lubricants, sleeves, bearings etc. In this paper the effect of composition on hardness, tensile strength and surface roughness is studied.
Twisting of the Tail Rotor Shaft - A Case Study
Authors: Shahzad Muhammad , Manzoor Tanveer , Tayyaba Qanita , Qureshi Ammad Hussain
Published: September 2018

Presented results report the findings of a case study carried out to determine the possible factors that lead to the twisting of tail rotor shaft. The structural materials of the shaft was evaluated in terms of microstructural analysis and mechanical properties to rule out any material fault. The SEM images showed that the localized fractures at twist ends occurred without any significant plastic deformation. Moreover, there was no evidence of fatigue. Such behavior suggests that twist occurred under impact / high strain rate loading. Such loading conditions are not possible during the event to ground hitting. The Ansys simulation confirmed that the observed twisting can increase the stress at localized point in excess of UTS and cause fracture.

Published: September 2018

Tandem Solar Cells with Silicon as one of its constituents have flat surfaces (surfaces without texturing). That is why flat surfaces Solar cells have got quite importance. But the issue with the flat surfaces is the high reflection loss (flat) and poor light trapping (no-texturing) in the cells. So, some scattering film, other than direct texturing, that is polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymer with the texture is used. The optimized PDMS film here is the random pyramidal film because random pyramidal PDMS films have a drop of 56.6% in reflectance used on polished Silicon while iso-textured and inverted pyramids have 51.55% and 48.47% respectively. This PDMS film with random textures when applied to 2-terminal monolithic perovskite/Silicon tandem, its external quantum efficiency shows an increase of 1.12mA/cm2 in the short-circuit current and reflection loss reduces by 4.1 mA/cm2.

Published: September 2018

Al-Si eutectic system is a class [Mansoor, 2014 #24] of important cast alloys accounting for the majority of aluminum parts for different industrial applications. However, in unmodified form, it attributes to the lower mechanical strength, ductility and wear characteristics. In present work, Al-9 wt. %Si alloy was prepared in unmodified and modified form, where modification was carried out using mixtures of transitional earth halides. The modification process rectified the needle like silicon rich secondary phase into acicular shape, whose effect upon the tribological characteristic of the alloy were studied using pin-on-disc method. It was found that the coefficient of friction was reduced in modified alloy, besides lowering the wear rate. The main feature of wear scar was laminates. In case of modify alloy the laminates were of uniformly formed small sized, as opposed to non-uniform predominately large sized smooth segments with cracked edges. It was postulated that these non-uniform smooth laminates were formed due to smearing resulted in high coefficient of friction and wear rate. The altered tribological characteristics were attributed to the morphology of the silicon rich secondary phase i.e. the acicular shape.

Mounting evidence suggests that hormonal deficiencies (HD) have an important role in chronic heart failure (CHF). In particular, androgen depletion is common in men with CHF and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This review summarizes the current understanding of the complex relationship between CHF and testosterone, focusing on evidence derived from clinical trials that have investigated the role of testosterone in the treatment of CHF. A greater comprehension of this area will allow researchers and clinicians to plan future studies that improve current strategies to reduce mortality in this high-risk population. Online databases PubMed (Medline), Web of Science, and Scopus were searched for manuscripts published prior to June 2018 using key words "heart failure" AND "testosterone" OR "anabolism" OR "hormone" OR "replacement treatmentâ€. Manuscripts were collated, studied and carried forward for discussion where appropriate. In summary, findings from the literature demonstrate that testosterone treatment in CHF is a promising topic that requires further investigation.Â Â Â
Growth hormone in heart failure revisited: An old story retold
Authors: Cittadini Antonio , D'Assante Roberta
Published: September 2018

Heart failure (HF) is a disease characterized by increasing prevalence, huge direct and indirect costs, and an ominous prognosis, worse than many cancers. At the beginning of the 90s, growth hormone (GH) was proposed as potential adjunctive therapy in HF mostly due to its growth-promoting, vasodilating, and anti-apoptotic actions. However, although several uncontrolled clinical studies showed that GH therapy improved several cardiovascular parameters, two robust trials failed to confirm these findings. Dwelling upon potential explanations for such apparent discrepancy led to the hypothesis that HF patients exhibit an inhomogeneous basal activity of the GH/insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) axis, ranging from GH/IGF-1 deficiency to GH resistance. This complex phenomenon was then reconsidered in the context of the so-called multiple hormone deficiency syndrome (MHD), that is the recognition that HF is characterized not only by the hyperactivation of several signaling pathways including the adrenergic, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone and cytokine systems, but also by a reduced anabolic drive leading to a state of anabolic/catabolic imbalance. Mounting evidence support the concept that such imbalance is not a mere epiphenomen, since it exerts a significant impact on clinical performance and more importantly, on survival. Therefore, the paradigm shift to reconsider HF as MHD represented the underpinning to implement clinical trials focused on hormone replacement therapies in congestive heart failure (CHF). With regard to GH replacement therapy, one controlled single-blind study yielded promising results, and we are currently conducting a double-blind controlled trial, as well a large Registry study to evaluate the impact of MHD on HF progression.
The Le Cam distance between density estimation, Poisson processes and Gaussian white noise
Authors: Ray Kolyan , Schmidt-Hieber Johannes
Published: September 2018

It is well known that density estimation on the unit interval is asymptotically equivalent to a Gaussian white noise experiment, provided the densities have Hölder smoothness larger than 1/2 and are uniformly bounded away from zero. We derive matching lower and constructive upper bounds for the Le Cam deficiencies between these experiments, with explicit dependence on both the sample size and the size of the densities in the parameter space. As a consequence, we derive sharp conditions on how small the densities can be for asymptotic equivalence to hold. The related case of Poisson intensity estimation is also treated.

Abstract. Despite growing evidence that the ocean is an important source of ice nucleating particles (INPs) in the atmosphere, our understanding of the properties and concentrations of INPs in ocean surface waters remain limited. We have investigated the properties and concentrations of INPs in sea surface microlayer and bulk seawater samples collected in the Canadian Arctic during the summer of 2016. We observed that 1) INPs were ubiquitous in the microlayer and bulk waters; 2) heat and filtration treatments reduced INP activity, indicating that the INPs were likely heat-labile biological materials between 0.2 and 0.02 μm in diameter; 3) there was a strong negative correlation between salinity and freezing temperatures, possibly due to INPs associated with melting sea ice; and 4) concentrations of INPs could not be explained by satellite-derived chlorophyll a concentrations. Although the spatial patterns of INPs and salinities were similar in 2014 and 2016, we did observe some differences between the years, notably: 1) the concentrations of INPs were higher on average in 2016 compared to 2014; and 2) INP concentrations were enhanced in the microlayer compared to bulk seawater in several samples collected in 2016, which was not the case in 2014.

Abstract. Viscosities and diffusion rates of organics within secondary organic aerosol (SOA) remain uncertain. Using the bead-mobility technique, we measured the viscosities as a function of water activity (aw) of SOA generated by the ozonolysis of limonene followed by browning by exposure to NH3 (referred to as brown limonene SOA or brown LSOA). These measurements together with viscosity measurements reported in the literature show that the viscosity of brown LSOA increases by 3–5 orders of magnitude as the aw decreases from 0.9 to approximately 0.05. In addition, we measured diffusion coefficients of intrinsic fluorescent organic molecules within brown LSOA matrices using rectangular area fluorescence recovery after photobleaching. Based on the diffusion measurements, as the aw decreases from 0.9 to 0.33, the average diffusion coefficient of the intrinsic fluorescent organic molecules decreases from 5.5∙10-9 cm2 s-1 to 7.1∙10-13 cm2 s-1 and the mixing times of intrinsic fluorescent organic molecules within 200 nm brown LSOA particles increases from 0.002 s to 14 s. These results suggest that the mixing times of large organics in the brown LSOA studied here are short (

Abstract. A new aircraft-mounted probe for collecting
samples of cloud water has been designed, fabricated, and extensively tested.
Following previous designs, the probe uses inertial separation to remove
cloud droplets from the airstream, which are subsequently collected and
stored for offline analysis. We report details of the design, operation, and
modelled and measured probe performance. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to understand the flow patterns
around the complex interior geometrical features that were optimized to
ensure efficient droplet capture. CFD simulations coupled with particle
tracking and multiphase surface transport modelling provide detailed
estimates of the probe performance across the entire range of flight
operating conditions and sampling scenarios. Physical operation of the probe was tested on a Lockheed C-130 Hercules
(fuselage mounted) and de Havilland Twin Otter (wing pylon mounted) during
three airborne field campaigns. During C-130 flights on the final field
campaign, the probe reflected the most developed version of the design and a
median cloud water collection rate of 4.5 mL min−1 was achieved. This
allowed samples to be collected over 1–2 min under optimal cloud
conditions. Flights on the Twin Otter featured an inter-comparison of the
new probe with a slotted-rod collector, which has an extensive airborne
campaign legacy. Comparison of trace species concentrations showed good
agreement between collection techniques, with absolute concentrations of
most major ions agreeing within 30 %, over a range of several orders of
magnitude.
Measurement Uncertainty of Radiated Electromagnetic Emissions in In Situ Tests of Wind Energy Conversion Systems
Authors: Koj Sebastian , Hoffmann Axel , Garbe Heyno
Published: September 2018

Abstract. The electromagnetic (EM) emissions of wind energy
conversion systems (WECS) are evaluated in situ. Results of in situ tests,
however, are only valid for the examined equipment under test (EUT) and
cannot be applied to series production as samples, as the measurement
uncertainty for in situ environment is not characterized. Currently
measurements must be performed on each WECS separately, this is associated
with significant costs and time requirement to complete. Therefore, in this
work, based on the standard procedure according to the “Guide to the
Expression of Uncertainty” (GUM, 2008) the measurement uncertainty is
characterized. From current normative situation obtained influences on the
measurement uncertainty: wind velocity and undefined ground are evaluated.
The influence of increased wind velocity on the measurement uncertainty is
evaluated with an analytical approach making use of the dipole
characteristic. A numerically evaluated model provides information about the
expected uncertainty due to reflection on different textures and varying
values of relative ground moisture. Using a classical reflection law based
approach, the simulation results are validated. Thanks to the presented
methods, it is possible to successfully characterize the measurement
uncertainty of in situ measurements of WECS's EM emissions.
Order reduction of hierarchical interconnected dynamical systems
Authors: Popp Michael , Mathis Wolfgang
Published: September 2018

Abstract. The simulation of large scale nonlinear dynamical interconnected systems, as they arise in all modern engineering disciplines, is a usual task. Due to the high complexity of the considered systems, the principle of thinking in hierarchical structures is essential and common among engineers. Therefore, this contribution proposes an approach for the numerical simulation of large systems, which keeps the hierarchical system structure alive during the entire simulation process while simultaneously exploiting it for order reduction purposes. This is accomplished by embedding the trajectory piecewise linear order reduction scheme in a modified variant of the component connection modeling for building interconnected system structures. The application of this concept is demonstrated by means of a widely used benchmark example and a modified variant of it.

Published: September 2018

Abstract. The problem on internal waves in a weakly stratified two-layer fluid is studied semi-analytically. We discuss the 2.5-layer fluid flows with exponential stratification of both layers. The long-wave model describing travelling waves is constructed by means of a scaling procedure with a small Boussinesq parameter. It is demonstrated that solitary-wave regimes can be affected by the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability arising due to interfacial velocity shear in upstream flow.

En el presente artículo proponemos analizar la oposición teórica y estructural que Mauricio Bacarisse reivindica e ilustra en su novela Los terribles amores de Agliberto y Celedonia (1931). Mientras que los « mitos de la fantasía » coartan la libertad de los individuos y sirven para justificar una sociedad conformista y una identidad mutilada, los « mitos de la realidad », suscitados por la creación literaria, alumbran una mitología fundacional capaz de tener en cuenta todas las facetas de la realidad y del individuo contra la estrechez de una imaginación falsificadora que los empobrece o simplifica.
Amor y tragedia en cuatro historias de guerra del siglo XX: Erich Maria Remarque, Ernest Hemingway. ¿Tristán e Isolda revisitado?
Authors: Corona Martínez Laura
Published: September 2018

La influencia en Occidente de un imaginario del amor trágico, desde Tristán e Isolda hasta nuestros días, se exhibe en las diferentes declinaciones del mito, desde el amor-pasión o amour fou hasta los acentos populares del melodrama, con su lógica repetitiva del obstáculo. Un empleo de la fatalidad inscripta en la trama amorosa arquetípica parece potenciar, en un sentido inesperado en principio, la capacidad de denuncia de ciertas novelas célebres del siglo XX sobre el tema de la guerra. Tales connotaciones podrían arrojar luz sobre la importancia de la dimensión de enfrentamiento entre individuo y sociedad contenida en la leyenda originaria.

On the harmonisation of the Dutch administrative and penal system of sanctions

Recently the Dutch Government has responded to an advise from the advisory body Raad van State concerning the relationship between the administrative and the penal system of sanctions.

Nowadays administrative sanctions are imposed in the Netherlands for serious offenses, whereas the original intention was to only use these procedures for minor felonies. It is unclear why some offenses are subject to a judicial judgment, while others are dealt with in administrative proceedings. Moreover, it appears that the administrative fines are often significantly higher than fines imposed by a judge. The government feels that harmonisation between the maximum of the administrative and penal fine should be realized. With regard to the choice between administrative and penal law, the government hasn’t found a criterion for deciding which offenses should be subject to a judicial judgment and which can be dealt with in administrative proceedings. The authors argue that the government could have offered more clarity by using the criterion of ‘serious criminal conduct’ as defined in criminal law. Criminal law has to be chosen when there is serious criminal conduct. In other cases it is possible to choose the administrative procedure.

Oude wijn in nieuwe zakken? Modernisering van het Europese consumentenrecht (I)

In dit artikel wordt ingegaan op het voorstel van de Europese Commissie voor een betere handhaving van de Europese regels voor consumentenbescherming en de modernisering van deze regels en de samenhang met de Mededeling van de Commissie ‘Een “new deal” voor consumenten’. In het tweede deel van deze bijdrage, dat in het volgende nummer van dit blad verschijnt, zal worden nagegaan of met de gedane voorstellen recht wordt gedaan aan de resultaten van de in 2017 uitgevoerde fitness check, welke bedoeld was om te onderzoeken in hoeverre het consumenten-acquis nog voldoende is toegerust voor de bescherming van consumenten en handelaren in staat stelt om gebruik te maken van de interne markt.

Voorstel van 11 april 2018 voor een Richtlijn van het Europees Parlement en de Raad tot wijziging van Richtlijn 93/13/EEG van de Raad van 5 april 1993, Richtlijn 98/6/EG van het Europees Parlement en de Raad, Richtlijn 2005/29/EG van het Europees Parlement en de Raad en Richtlijn 2011/83/EU van het Europees Parlement en de Raad wat betreft betere handhaving en modernisering van de regels voor consumentenbescherming in de EU, COM(2018)185 final

Examenantwoorden zijn ook persoonsgegevens. Over de reikwijdte van de AVG

In de zaak Nowak moest het Hof van Justitie de vraag beantwoorden of beroepsexamens persoonsgegevens zijn. De uitspraak van het Hof van Justitie biedt duidelijkheid over hoe te bepalen of informatie persoonsgegevens zijn. Voor hoger onderwijsinstellingen kan de uitspraak aanleiding geven hun beleid te heroverwegen ten aanzien van het opslaan, het verlenen van toegang tot, en het analyseren van tentamenantwoorden.

Medellín: história, símbolo e atualidade
Authors: Murad Afonso Tadeu
Published: September 2018

O artigo apresenta uma visão panorâmica dos documentos da Conferência dos Bispos latino-americanos, realizada em Medellín, no ano de 1968. Inicialmente, distingue o Medellín histórico do Medellín simbólico. A seguir, recorda como Assembleia foi bem preparada e se realizou de forma participativa. Então, demonstra a relação de continuidade com o Vaticano II. De outro lado, Medellín não foi uma mera aplicação do Concílio, mas sim uma recepção criativa. No núcleo do artigo, demonstra-se como o método VER-JULGAR-AGIR foi utilizado nos vários documentos de Medellín, alocados em três eixos: promoção humana, evangelização e crescimento da fé, Igreja visível e suas estruturas. Por fim, ele se detém em dois documentos: Pobreza na Igreja e Liturgia. Encerra-se com algumas conclusões abertas, de caráter pastoral.
Undergraduate Conferences as High Impact Practices with an Impact on Gender Parity
Authors: Koolage W. John , Clevenger Danielle ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: September 2018

There has been a recent explosion of undergraduate philosophy conferences across the United States. In this paper, we explore undergraduate conferences along three lines. First, we argue that, as a well-designed learning activity, undergraduate conferences can serve to increase gender parity in philosophical spaces—a widely accepted and important goal for our discipline. Second, we argue that this increase in parity (and other beneficial learning outcomes) is due, at least in part, to the proper design of undergraduate conferences as High-Impact Practices. Our empirical work on our own undergraduate conference demonstrates that properly designing the conference as a High-Impact learning activity does, as expected, benefit underserved student populations, including women. Additionally, the study also revealed unexpected opportunities to intervene on student learning. Third, we argue, also in line with our data, that undergraduate conferences occupy a previously taxonomically unrecognized grouping (Culminating Events) among recognized High-Impact Practices.

El uniforme diplomático español: origen y evolución
Authors: De la Serna Ramos María
Published: September 2018

Los uniformes han servido siempre para distinguir grupos de profesionales. La carrera diplomática española es uno de esos grupos que tienen en esta tipo de  prenda una de sus señas de identidad. Son ya muy pocos los servicios diplomáticos –los de ciertas monarquías- que todavía disponen de uniforme. Su uso casi siempre se ha limitado, también en el caso de esos otros países, a las ocasiones de gala. Apenas ha evolucionado desde sus orígenes en el siglo XIX. Además los de todos esos países son similares, con una casaca de paño azul marino, y unos bordados dorados. Desde que en 1928 se unificaron en España las carreras diplomática y consular, el uniforme es único para estos profesionales. Los símbolos que les identifican y la tradición establecida al respecto fueron recogidos en el Reglamento Orgánico de la Carrera Diplomática, de 15 de julio de 1955. Teniendo en cuenta los cambios ocurridos desde sus orígenes se presenta una breve historia del origen y evolución del uniforme hasta el modelo actual.________________________________Uniforms have always served to distinguish groups of professionals. The Spanish Diplomatic Service counts itself among those groups that have in this garment one of their distinguishing feature. It is one of the last Services, most of them belonging to European monarchies, to have a uniform. Its use has nearly always been restricted to gala occasions. The garment has scarcely changed since its origins in the nineteenth century. Since 1928, the year when the unification of the Spanish Diplomatic and Consular Services occurred, there is only one model of uniform. Its identification symbols and the tradition laid down in this matter, where included in the Organic Regulations of the Diplomatic Service, dated July 15, 1955. Taking into account the changes that have affected this garment since then, a brief history of the origin and evolution of the uniform up to the current model is presented.
The origin of animals as microbial host volumes in nutrient-limited seas

Published: September 2018

The microbe-stuffed gut, rather than the genome, represents the most dynamic gene reservoir within complex, multicellular metazoa (animals). Microbes are known to confer increased metabolic efficiency, increased nutrient recovery, and tolerance of ocean acidity to basal taxa such as sponges, arguably the extant taxa most comparable to the first metazoan. We hypothesize that metazoan origins may be rooted in the capability to compartmentalize, metabolize, and exchange genetic material with a modulated microbiome. We present evidence that the most parsimonious adaptive response of clonal eukaryotic colonies experiencing oligotrophic (nutrient-limited) conditions that accompanied Neoproterozoic glaciation events, which were broadly contemporaneous with metazoan origins, is to evolve a morphological volume to harbor a densified microbiome. Dense microbial communities housed within a cavity would increase instances of horizontal gene transfer between microorganisms and host, accelerating evolutionary innovation at the genetic and epigenetic levels for the holobiont. The accelerated tempo of genetic exchange would continue until the host’s metabolic and reproductive cells became spatially and temporally segregated from one another, at which point the process is effectively suppressed with the emergence of specialized gut and reproductive tissues. This framework may lead to new, testable hypotheses regarding metazoan evolution on Earth and a more tractable means of estimating the pervasiveness of complex, multicellular animal-like life with convergent morphologies on other planets.
