Authors: García Alfonso Ariel , Navarro Guerra Héctor , Arencibia Abreus Carlos
Published: November 2019

Introducción: ninguna escala simple, por diseño, es lo suficientemente abarcadora para evaluar de forma integral la función motora de pacientes con enfermedad cerebrovascular (ECV); sin embargo, es posible la selección de una batería de ellas para controlar las distintas etapas del proceso de rehabilitación. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar los criterios que sirven de referencia para la construcción de un instrumento de evaluación funcional en pacientes con ecv. Materiales y métodos: se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en las bases de datos PubMed, Rehabilitation Measures Database, ebsco y Medline, donde se incluyeron escalas de evaluación funcional dirigidas al control de la postura, marcha, equilibrio, tono muscular, miembros superiores e inferiores y actividades de la vida diaria. Resultados: para la construcción de un instrumento de evaluación funcional se identificaron un total de trece criterios de referencia agrupados en: 1) criterios psicométricos y 2) criterios de diseño y aplicación. Utilizando estos criterios, se seleccionaron las escalas: Barthel Index, Action Research Arm Test, Ashworth Scale y 10 Meter Walk Test. Conclusión: las escalas seleccionadas brindan información sobre cuatro aspectos relevantes para la evaluación funcional y la práctica terapéutica: autocuidado, función motora, tono muscular y rendimiento físico, estrechamente relacionados con las principales áreas de trabajo durante el proceso de rehabilitación en pacientes con ECV. Los recursos materiales necesarios para su aplicación son mínimos y el tiempo estimado, a partir de la integración de sus tiempos parciales, no sobrepasa los 30 minutos.
Emergency treatment of the dyspnoeic bird
Authors: Naguib Mark
Published: November 2019

Dyspnoea is a common emergency in birds presented to veterinary practitioners. There are a number of aetiologies and various anatomical structures that may be involved. A large proportion of these birds will be significantly compromised, thus appropriate and timely emergency management is essential. This article discusses the approach to diagnosis, decision making and emergency medical and surgical treatment in the dyspnoeic bird.
Domestic dogs: the behavioural implications of social living. Part 2
Authors: Hargrave Claire Patricia
Published: November 2019

This article forms the second of a two-part series that considers how well the term ‘domestic dog’ can act as a predictor that the dog should experience no problems in co-existing with humans in domestic, family homes. The previous article took a brief look at the likely domestication process for the dog and suggested that free-roaming dogs (village, street or dump dogs) are better models for ‘natural’ canine behaviour, than that of the wolf. This article considers how well the dog's innate capacity for social flexibility with other dogs equips it for coping with social encounters with both dogs and humans in a complex human environment, and limitations in coping.

Ethics in aesthetics: considering eating disorders in the context of procedures
Authors: Craddock Nadia
Published: November 2019

Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions associated with many adverse health and quality of life outcomes. Yet, eating disorders are frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated and numerous barriers to their diagnosis and treatment have identified. Surprisingly, although negative body image is a well-established risk factor for eating disorder onset and is common across eating disorder profiles, limited research has explored eating disorders in aesthetic procedure settings. While more research is required, it is possible that people with undiagnosed and/or untreated eating disorders may present for aesthetic procedures. In light of this, as well as the severity of eating disorders, it is advised that aesthetic practitioners possess a comprehensive understanding of eating disorders. Furthermore, gaining a deeper understanding of eating disorders can improve ethical practice; it is recommended that aesthetic practitioners explore and establish screening guidelines and referral processes for patients with suspected eating disorders.
Hair loss: a clinical update
Authors: Millar-Hume Lucy , Ali Farah
Published: November 2019

Hair loss is classified into non-scarring and scarring alopecias, the latter being further subdivided into primary and secondary forms. These classifications are also referred to as non-cicatricial and cicatricial hair loss. This article focuses on androgenic alopecia (AGA) and will, at times, be referred to as male pattern hair loss (MPHL) or female pattern hair loss (FPHL). Essentially, AGA is a non-scarring, benign form of alopecia, generally related to ageing and where, on the whole, a proportion of hair can grow back. Aestheticians should be prepared to answer a patient's questions and concerns and be familiar with the current levels of evidence surrounding the myriad of treatments available.
Treating the lower periorbital area with hyaluronic acid
Authors: Brackenbury Julie
Published: November 2019

The lower periorbital area shows signs of ageing before other parts of the face and hyaluronic acid is an increasingly popular choice for patients concerned with the cosmetic appearance of this area. Administering treatment to the lower periorbital area takes skill and an understanding of the underlying anatomy to provide the desired outcome without triggering complications. Aseptic technique is also crucial for safe treatment.

A pilot of the Paramedic Advanced Resuscitation of Children (PARC) course
Authors: Ennis Paddy
Published: November 2019

Paramedics are the primary providers of prehospital care to children in an emergency. However, they deal with children's emergencies infrequently, and consistently report a lack of confidence in this area. The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health standards state that clinicians with Advanced Paediatric Life Support (APLS) training or equivalent must be available at all times to deal with emergencies involving children. While APLS is widely recognised as the gold standard in paediatric training, it focuses on in-hospital providers of paediatric life support, so may not adequately meet the needs of prehospital providers. The Paramedic Advanced Resuscitation of Children (PARC) course attempts to condense the most important aspects of APLS for paramedics into a simulation-based programme that is practical and cost effective. Evaluation of the views of the eight paramedics who took part in the pilot revealed that they felt more confident in managing children's emergencies after attending the course. The PARC course may be a simple, cost-effective method to improve paramedics’ confidence in dealing with emergencies involving children.
Maximising intraosseous flow rates: an in-vitro study
Authors: Fenwick Robert , Nutbeam Tim , Lowther Ashleigh , Mann Tom
Published: November 2019

Background:

Attaching a different or using no extension set with intraosseous (IO) needles may affect the time taken to administer fluid. An in-vitro study measured this effect.

Methodology:

Three methods of administration were examined (10 experiments for each approach): a fluid-giving set directly placed in the IO needle hub (direct-to-hub: DTH); a fluid-giving set connected to the EZ-IO device extension set (EZ set: EZS); and a fluid-giving set connected to a simple three-way extension set (three-way set: TWS).

Results:

Mean times for administration were 317 s for DTH (SD=15 s), 322 s for TWS (SD=8 s) and 361 s for EZS (SD=19 s). This demonstrated a significant difference between the three groups (ANOVA significance p<0.0001).

Conclusion:

It may be possible for clinicians to increase IO flow rates by removing or replacing the extension set that is supplied with the EZ-IO needle set.

The Transmission and Bibliographic Study of the Pigafetta Account: Synthesis and Update
Authors: McCarl Clayton
Published: November 2019

For its value as a historical source and as a singular piece of writing, Antonio Pigafetta’s account of the Magellan-Elcano expedition has appeared in diverse places, and over the centuries. Numerous scholars have worked to establish the history and nature of those editions and translations. This study pursues three objectives related to Pigafetta’s account: to articulate a synthesis of the publication history; to summarize the development of research on that transmission; and to identify trends, controversies and possible gaps in that scholarship.
La representación de la guerra civil y el fascismo en El siglo, de Javier Marías, y O ano da morte de Ricardo Reis, de José Saramago
Authors: Torres Rabassa Gerard
Published: November 2019

This article analyses the representation of the Spanish Civil War and fascism in the novels O ano da morte de Ricardo Reis, by José Saramago and El siglo, by Javier Marías. Both texts respond to a desire to recover national history and at the same time testify to the search for new narrative aesthetics connected with international literary modernity. The novels, written in contexts of both political and literary transition, propose an elliptical, indirect and fragmentary representation of the Civil War. In dialogue with the theories of Mikhail Bakhtin, we will show that these novels try to produce historical knowledge through the work of the literary form, maintaining a doublé commitment: to historical memory and with the aesthetic renovation of the literary field.
Reality matters: Transnational realist crime film and television in Spain
Authors: García-Mainar Luis M.
Published: November 2019

This article argues that contemporary Spanish crime film and television has adapted to an economic crisis and has embraced a transnational crime film and television ‘realism’, introspection and pathos that reconciles commercial success with the cultural need to address Spain’s recent history. El niño/The Kid (Monzón, 2014), La isla mínima/Marshland (Rodríguez, 2014), El Príncipe/The Prince (Telecinco, 2014–16) and Mar de plástico/Sea of Plastic (Antena 3, 2015–16) represent an attempt to reach out to audiences by gaining international recognition for Spanish audio-visual productions and honouring local issues and spaces. Their diverse configurations point to the country’s ambiguity about its historical legacy and suggest the emergence of a new, gentler version of Spanish nationalism.
The Effects of The Cash Transfer Programme for Poor Students on Child�s Work Participation: Evidence from Java (Indonesia)
Authors: Hidayatina Achsanah
Published: November 2019

Cash transfer is considered as a relatively safe policy instrument to improve child welfare. Over the past ten years, Indonesia has made major progress in reducing the number of children involved in child work. It has done so primarily by expanding education provision to increase the time children spend in school and reduce the time children allocate to work. This progress has been supported by the implementation of poverty alleviation programmes that provided income assistance to vulnerable families. This paper aims to analyse whether cash transfer subsidies provided by the Government of Indonesia were sufficient for children to decrease the probability of working and reduce the hours of working activities of children within households. This paper includes a detailed exploration of differences in impacts by childrens gender and areas of residence. This paper uses cross sectional data to analyse the effects of the programme on childs work. The data covers children aged from six to 14 from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) in 2014. The data is non-experimental and programme participation is not randomly assigned. The bivariate Probit with endogenous dummy models are also estimated for the probability that a child is working, controlling for additional characteristics of the child, head of household, household and community-level characteristics. The results of this paper are particularly relevant for understanding the role of cash transfer programmes in developing countries. The findings of this paper suggest that the Government of Indonesia needs to reach the poorest children who are out of school.
Negotiating The Space For Peace: Interreligious Tolerance And Harmony in Practice
Authors: Rohman Muhammad Saifullah
Published: November 2019

Nowadays, Indonesia well known as tolerance country has been facing a severe problem with the practice of intolerance act and radicalism. Recently, we were shocked by some news about a young man attacking St. Lidwina Bedog church, Yogyakarta, and the suicide bombing at three churches in Surabaya. Several innocent civilians became the victim from these actions. Besides, we can note that there was another intolerant act regarding the building of a house of worship and conflict among religious believers in some district in Indonesia. These situations indicated that actors who attempted to destroy Indonesia's unity through harmful narratives of Indonesian diversity and threaten Indonesian tolerance are ranging from ethnicity, language, to religion. This article proposes a counter-narrative for Indonesian harmony by identifying the places of house of worship and spaces of religious tolerance activities. Since the establishments of the house of worship in several places have led to a disharmony and intolerance act, this article found another story of tolerance based on a house of worship location and space of tolerance activity. Field research was conducted in Balun Village, Lamongan, where three houses of worship built neighboring in the village. These neighboring houses of worship and religious activities around support the idea called "negotiating the space of peace." The data collection methods included participant observation and interview. The findings show that religious diversity of Indonesian citizens is based on unity and peace. The neighboring houses of worships (Mosque, Church, Pura/Hinduism temple, etc.) in Lamongan, show that the tolerance among different religious believers has been there as long as Indonesian history. It is not only the negotiation in terms of physical space where the house of worship built but also non-physical space among religions and their believers, which build and strengthen the peace among them. Therefore, the peace situation and condition become the central point regardless of their background (ethnicity, religions, and language).
The Influence of Family Wealth and Parent Education Level on Students� Reading Literacy
Authors: Nawas Abu
Published: November 2019

This study aims to examine the influence of family background factors in terms of family wealth and parent education levels on students reading performance in Indonesia. The study utilises secondary data from the OECDs Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2015 for Indonesia, in which 6513 students participated. This also specifically highlights the analysis of family wealth and parent education levels in possibly predicting the students reading literacy in Indonesia. In analysing the data, a quantitative approach was used which utilised statistically different analysis such as t-test, one-way ANOVA, two-way ANOVA, correlation and multiple linear regression analysis using WesVar version 5.1 software.The result found there were significant different reading scores between students from different family wealth and parent education levels. The students from high family wealth performed better than they with middle and low wealthy. Likewise, the children with highly educated mother and father had high scores than students whose parents had low and did not complete primary school. Moreover, the result of correlation and regression analysis revealed that all predictor variables, WEALTH, MISCED and FISCED, significantly associate and predict better reading literacy performance of 15-year-old students in Indonesia for PISA 2015 survey. Therefore, the implications of the study highlight opportunities to reform educational policies through data and evidence.
STRAINS OF ROCK DURING UNIAXIAL COMPRESSION TEST
Authors: Závacký Martin , Štefaňák Jan
Published: November 2019

The contribution is focused on investigation of strains in a rock specimen during uniaxial compression test. Three components of strain occur in cylindrical shape specimen: axial, radial and volumetric. Determination of the strains is possible by using of local sensors. Strain gauges fixed on specimen surface were used in this study. Axial and radial components of strain were measured directly, and volumetric strain was calculated. Two types of rock were tested, syenite and sandstone, to illustrate variability of strain behaviour of rocks. Strain measurement is necessary for determination of Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio. Moreover, early states of failure can be identified by volumetric strain which is considerably sensitive to failure states.
Location and stability of the triangular Lagrange points in photo-gravitational elliptic restricted three body problem with the more massive primary as an oblate spheroid
Authors: Arantza Jency A. , Krishan Sharma Ram
Published: November 2019

The triangular Lagrangian points of the elliptic restricted three-body problem (ERTBP) with oblate and radiating more massive primary are studied. The mean motion equation used here is different from the ones employed in many studies on the perturbed ERTBP. The effect of oblateness on the mean motion equation varies. This change influences the location and stability of the triangular Lagrangian points. The points tend to shift in the y-direction. The influence of the oblateness on the critical mass ratio is also altered. But the eccentricity limit Â for stability remains the same.Â Â Â

Continuum approach to high-cycle fatigue. The finite life-time case with stochastic stress history
Authors: Orelma Heikki
Published: November 2019

Рассматривается континуальный подход для описания многоцикловой усталости, когда срок службы изделия конечен.
Предложено использовать эволюционную модель накопления усталостных микроповреждений в стохастической постановке.
Данный подход позволяет учитывать стохастический разброс параметров повторяющегося нагружения.
В рамках этого подхода срок службы изделия (время его жизни) отождествляется с началом разрушения материала, а случайный процесс нагружения описывается с помощью стохастических дифференциальных уравнений.
Основное предположение состоит в том, что распределение срока службы изделия подчиняется логнормальному распределению или распределению Вейбулла.
Представленная методика позволяет оценить сам процесс нагружения, сформировать реализацию такого нагружения и найти численное приближение по сроку службы изделия.
Для демонстрации метода приводится численный пример, в котором рассматривается одномерная начальная задача определения времени жизни образца при его неотнулевом синусоидальном циклическом нагружении растяжением-сжатием, зашумленном винеровским стохастическим процессом.
Поставленная задача решена численно для пятидесяти реализаций, в результате чего ответ дан в вероятностной формулировке, позволяющей более осознанно назначать запас прочности.

Chancen und Herausforderungen assistiver Technik. Nutzerbedarfe und Technikakzeptanz im Alter
Authors: Künemund Harald
Published: November 2019

Erste assistive Technologien für Menschen mit Demenz wurden bereits entwickelt und sind auch schon am Markt erhältlich. Von einem flächendeckenden Einsatz dieser Technologien kann aber nicht gesprochen werden. Vor dem Hintergrund der offensichtlich vorhandenen gesellschaftlichen Bedarfslage – Demenz gilt als eine der gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen in Zusammenhang mit dem demografischen Wandel – liegt der Verdacht nahe, dass diese frühen technischen Entwicklungen die Nachfrage des Marktes noch nicht ausreichend gut adressieren. Hier kann eine bedarfsorientierte Technikentwicklung mit der Analyse des räumlichen, sozialen und funktionalen Handlungskontextes und der Identifikation der Anforderungen und Wünsche der Akteure im Pflegearrangement ansetzen. Das heißt, bevor technische Festlegungen getroffen werden, wird erhoben, welche Bedarfe an Unterstützung im Arrangement bestehen. Lassen sich zur Befriedigung dieser Bedarfe technische Assistenzsysteme identifizieren, die im Pflegearrangement für akzeptabel erachtet werden, dann beginnt ein anschließender Technikentwicklungsprozess bereits mit diesem Akzeptabilitäts-Vorschuss. Auch eine den Technikentwicklungsprozess begleitende Technikfolgenforschung profitiert von dieser bedarfsorientierten Vorgehensweise, wie anhand eines Fallbeispiels aus dem Pflegezusammenhang für Menschen mit Demenz dargestellt wird.

Published: November 2019

Die Energiewende bedingt eine Transformation des heutigen Energienetzes mit all seinen Elementen der Energieerzeugung, Energieübertragung, Energiespeicherung und nicht zuletzt des Energieverbrauchs. Vorteilhaft könnte sich dabei auswirken, dass in der Zukunft unsere Energienetze mit Mobilitätsnetzwerken stärker verschmelzen werden und damit Synergien genutzt werden können. In dieser Ausgabe wird hinterfragt, welchen Beitrag Energiespeicher bei diesem Transformationsprozess leisten können, aber auch, welche vielfältigen Herausforderungen und Probleme mit der Energiespeicherung auf der Forschungs-, Umsetzungs- und systemischen Bewertungsseite verbunden sind. Dabei spannt sich der Bogen von den Grundlagen und der Grundlagenentwicklung für Energiespeicher in Deutschland hin zu den vielfältigsten Einsatzmöglichkeiten.
Desorientierung der TA oder Orientierungsgewinn?
Authors: Böhle Knud
Published: November 2019

Gegenüber der von Armin Grunwald geforderten „hermeneutischen Wende“ der TA angesichts spekulativer Technikzukünfte und kontroverser Debatten um die „New and Emerging Sciences and Technologies“ (NEST), wird hier für eine praxis- und prozessorientierte TA auch im Fall der NEST argumentiert. Die unterschiedliche Sicht folgt aus der jeweiligen Bestimmung der Ausgangssituation. Grunwald folgert aus dem Umstand, dass es bei den NEST kein robustes Wissen über ihre künftigen Folgen gibt, dass der TA nichts anderes übrig bliebe als sich hermeneutisch mit den visionären Narrativen der NEST und den zugehörigen Debatten zu befassen, um so doch noch Orientierungswissen zu generieren. Dieser Letzte-Ausweg-Ansatz blendet aus, so die Kritik, dass es zu dem Zeitpunkt, an dem TA sich mit einer der NEST zu befassen beginnt, schon manifeste soziotechnische Innovationsprozesse im Gang sind, es einen dazu gehörigen Sachstand der wissenschaftlich-technischen NEST-Entwicklung gibt, und auch schon Politiken, die auf visionäre Narrative rekurrieren. Eine an den laufenden Innovationsprozessen ansetzende TA, so die Gegenthese, sollte deshalb auch im Fall von NEST-Entwicklungen in der Lage sein, ohne Umwege politikrelevante Orientierungsleistungen zu erbringen.

Partitionierung und Transmutation
Authors: Carrera Diana , Ruddat Michael
Published: November 2019

Wärmeentwickelnde, hochradioaktive Abfälle haben ein hohes Langzeit-Gefährdungspotenzial. Sie müssen in einem möglichst sicheren Endlager verwahrt werden, das es derzeit in Deutschland noch nicht gibt. Durch Partitionierung und Transmutation (P&T) könnte die Trennung der Abfälle (Partitionierung) sowie die Umwandlung (Transmutation) eines Großteils der Radionuklide durch Neutronenbeschuss gelingen (Knebel et al. 2013; Lübbert/Ahlswede 2008). P&T könnte somit eine Möglichkeit sein, das benötigte Volumen für ein Endlager für hochradioaktive Abfälle zu verringern. Bislang lag der wissenschaftliche Fokus bei P&T auf technischen Machbarkeitsstudien. In einem interdisziplinären Forschungsprojekt wurden nun erstmals auch die gesellschaftlichen Implikationen dieser technologischen Anwendungen untersucht. Anhand von vier Szenarien (Abstinenz, Forschungspartizipation, Europäische Systempartizipation, Anwendung in Deutschland) werden im Folgenden Chancen und Risiken von P&T beschrieben und potenzielle Handlungsmöglichkeiten sowie Kommunikationsempfehlungen formuliert.[1]

Zwischen Tragfähigkeit und Konvivialität
Authors: Muraca Barbara
Published: November 2019

Die Postwachstumsdebatte ist geprägt von sehr unterschiedlichen Sichtweisen auf die Rolle und den Umgang mit Technik. Einerseits halten ein Teil der Befürworter des Postwachstums das technowissenschaftliche Paradigma für einen Teil des Problems und stellten sich eine künftige Postwachstumsgesellschaft jenseits der Technik vor, während sie gleichzeitig den weltweit zu beobachtenden Enthusiasmus für technische Lösungen ablehnen, da diese Entwicklungen in ihrer instrumentellen Rationalität eine Vorherrschaft über die Natur impliziert. Andere Postwachstumsvertreter finden diese einseitige Sichtweise zu simpel und sehen technische Lösungen – sofern sie neu betrachtet und kritisch reflektiert werden – als Verbündete für die Entwicklung hin zu einer Postwachstumsgesellschaft. In diesem Artikel werden v. a. zwei theoretische Zugänge betrachtet, die grundlegend für viele Auseinandersetzungen um Technik im Feld des Postwachstumsdiskurses sind: Eine biophysikalische, die sich auf Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen zurückführen lässt, und eine soziopolitische bzw. kulturelle, die auf gesellschaftskritische Denker wie Ivan Illich, Jacques Ellul und André Gorz zurückführt. Diese schließen zudem an zwei Konzepte der Postwachstumsdebatte an, dem der Tragfähigkeit (viability) und der Konvivialität (conviviality).
Das ReparaturCafé als Transformationselement im urbanen Raum
Authors: Waitz Colette , Meyer-Soylu Sarah
Published: November 2019

Wenn es darum geht, neue Wege in Richtung einer Degrowth-Gesellschaft zu beschreiten, rücken Städte als Zentren von Konsum und Energieverbrauch in den Fokus. Nachhaltigkeit und Degrowth stehen als eng verwandte und sich gegenseitig bedingende Konzepte eng beieinander und müssen gemeinsam betrachtet werden, spielen sie doch bei der Beantwortung relevanter Zukunftsfragen eine zentrale Rolle: Wie können bspw. immer mehr Menschen auf begrenztem Raum und mit begrenzten Ressourcen in nachhaltiger Weise zusammenleben? Welche Mechanismen oder Elemente können hierzu beitragen? In Städten zeigen sich diese Herausforderung zum einen besonders deutlich, zum anderen können hier auch besonders gut Lösungsansätze entwickelt und erprobt werden. Im folgenden Beitrag wird zu diesem Zweck am Beispiel des Karlsruher ReparaturCafés untersucht, ob dieses als sozialökologische Praxisform einen Beitrag zu Degrowth leisten kann. Eine Schlussfolgerung ist, dass das ReparaturCafé wesentliche Facetten von Degrowth umzusetzen vermag und somit gut geeignet ist, eine Transformation hin zu einer Degrowth-Gesellschaft zu fördern.

PEMETAAN KATEGORI DIMENSI SMART CITY BERDASARKAN RAGAM INOVASI APLIKASI DAN SITUS WEB MANAJEMEN PERKOTAAN DI INDONESIA
Authors: Hutama Irsyad Adhi Waskita , Djunaedi Achmad
Published: November 2019

This research is motivated from the emerging of Smart City (SC) concept which lately has been implemented in Indonesian’s cities such as Jakarta, Bandung, and Surabaya as a mean to tackle city’s problems digitally. The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) becomes one of the SC characteristic which transformed into applications and websites. The main purpose of the research is to map the categorization of SC dimension based on the abundance of aplications and web sites for cities management. The explorative and qualitative approach was used as research method involving secondary data collection, categorization scheme, and pairing to Giffinger’s SC dimensions. About 338 SC’s innovation accounted from cities in Indonesia but only 109 registered as applications or websites. From those numbers, we then categorize into 14 typologies of applications/websites based on its methods in tackling urban problems. They are job related information, transport and traffic, education, citizen participation, environmental management, governance, bureaucracy/permission, staffing, health, energy management, disaster mitigation, criminality, entrepreneurship, and culture and tourism. As result, those categorizations are, in fact, more comprehensive than those of Giffinger’s six smart city dimensions by adding two more dimensions namely Smart Energy Management and Smart Disaster Mitigation.

Authors: Gémar Jean-Claude
Published: November 2019

Translated texts sometimes reflect the targeted legal system’s conventional manner of writing law; however, the equivalence of the legal message must be realized. Translating law into another legal culture goes through a comparative analysis of the laws involved, the command of which is needed to achieve legal equivalence. The form of the target text must nevertheless correspond to its legal culture. Legal translation is then the meeting point of languages, cultures and laws. To succeed, this meeting must be based on an ad hoc knowledge of both laws. Then comparative law enters into play as the legal translator’s “fellow traveler”, whom it equips for the exchange. To realize it, “two intersecting receptions will suffice” (Carbonnier). This operation is successful when concepts and notions overlap and the letter of the law (the substance) and the law’s expression (the form) merge, demonstrating “the spirit of the laws”. Benchmarking is the way to reach this goal. It is conducted here under the light of jurilinguistics via the analysis of terms and concepts presenting various translation difficulties, which demonstrate the necessity of comparative law (I). A comparison of translations of the Napoleonic Code and other civil codes will complete the quest for the spirit of the laws by the way in which the letter or the spirit of the text to be translated is rendered (II). The lessons to be learned are aimed at language professionals, who will find in jurilinguistic comparative analysis a way to perfecting their work and, in the translations of the civil codes, a basis of reflection on the role and functions of translation.
Adaptacja fonetyczna i graficzna anglicyzmów w rosyjskim slangu młodzieżowym
Authors: Kubecka Katarzyna

The article analyses phonetic and graphic variations of majority of English borrowings in Russian youth slang, caused by the coexistence of two different methods of recording English borrowings with the letters of Russian alphabet. The findings of the analysis prove that the dominant way of transferring English borrowings into Russian slang corresponds with the slang’s tendency to show the russified version of English pronunciation in a written form.

Die Fachinformationsdienste (FID) für die Wissenschaft stehen nach der Evaluation des Förderprogramms vor der Aufgabe, enger zu kooperieren und auf- bzw. miteinander abgestimmte Dienstleistungen bestenfalls gemeinsam zu entwickeln, zumindest aber vorhandene Services und Tools nachzunutzen. Ziel ist es, aus den für sich und ihre jeweilige Fachcommunity weitgehend unabhängig arbeitenden FID ein System zu formen, das zu einer abgestimmten, nachhaltigen Informationsinfrastruktur heranwächst. Grundlage hierfür sind vor allem gemeinsame technische Entwicklungen. Ein Beginn wurde durch die Einrichtung einer Arbeitsgruppe zu technischen Fragen gemacht. Diese Zusammenarbeit muss nun in beständige, transparentere und technisch unterstützte Bahnen gelenkt werden.

Background

Previous studies investigating the beneficial effects of exercise in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) are relatively insufficient compared to studies on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), due to the fear of hypoglycemia. Recently, several researchers have reported that combined aerobic and resistance exercise prevents hypoglycemia during and after exercise. Furthermore, exercise has been shown to have beneficial effects on the psychological status of patients with various diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of combined aerobic and resistance exercise in adolescents with T1DM.

Methods

Thirty-five type 1 diabetic patients were enrolled, and subjects were divided into either an exercise group or a control group. Thirty patients (20 patients in the exercise group, 10 patients in the control group) completed the study. The exercise program was performed for 1 h at a time, once a week, for 12 weeks. Study parameters were evaluated at baseline and 3 months after baseline evaluation.

Results

Combined aerobic and resistance exercise better controlled the body mass index (BMI), and also improved maximum muscular strength and maximum exercise intensity. On psychological tests, subjects’ attention and quality of life showed improving tendency, while their stress and behavioral problems diminished. The number of exercise events increased in the training group, while the daily total insulin dose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level showed no significant changes.

Conclusions

A 12-week structured exercise program consisting of aerobic and resistance exercises improves cardiovascular, neurocognitive and psychobehavioral functions, and positively helps lifestyle modification in patients with T1DM.

The Sumatran striped rabbit (Nesolagus netscheri Schlegel, 1880) is the least known lagomorph in the world. This paper describes the first record of a young N. netscheri that was offered for sale (the size is approximately 52–56% of the adult), together with an adult, by a social media group in February 2018. The rabbits were reportedly obtained from the Dempo mountain, South Sumatra. Compared to previous descriptions of N. netscheri, the Dempo mountain specimens have longer ears (47–52 mm vs. 34–50 mm), shorter tails (9–15 mm vs. 17 mm) and shorter hindfeet (60–65 mm vs. 67–87 mm). The threats to N. netscheri are revisited and discussed.

Cellulose fibers swell significantly in NaOH/urea solutions, and swelling increases with a decrease in temperature and an addition of urea. The combined effects of the factors of a pretreatment procedure (sodium hydroxide concentration, urea concentration, temperature, and time) and post-treatment conditions (medium, stirring speed, and time) of preparing fibers on the properties of pulp and the resulting paper sheets were investigated and optimized using single factor experiments. The optimum sodium hydroxide concentration (1 %), urea concentration (8 %), precooling temperature 0 °C, pretreatment time (12 h), post-treatment medium (7 %

), post-treatment stirring speed (1500 rpm), and time (30 min) were obtained. Under the optimal conditions, the water retention values and tear, tensile, and burst indexes increased about 54 %, 277 %, 394 %, and 98 %, respectively. This work demonstrates that this technical route can effectively improve fiber swelling capacity and paper strength.
Minimal change disease associated with balsalazide therapy for ulcerative colitis

Published: November 2019

Introduction: 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) compounds have been used in the management of ulcerative colitis for decades. Nephrotoxicity has been previously described in patients treated with 5-ASA compounds and usually manifests as interstitial nephritis, however a few cases of nephrotic syndrome have been reported. Balsalazide is a pro-drug composed of 5-ASA linked to an inert carrier. Case Presentation: Here we report the case of a 74-year-old man with a history of ulcerative proctosigmoiditis treated with balsalazide who presented to our clinic with bilateral lower extremity edema three months after initiation of balsalazide. Laboratory workup showed nephrotic range proteinuria without an apparent secondary etiology. Given worsening proteinuria and renal function despite cessation of balsalazide, the patient underwent renal biopsy that revealed minimal change disease. High dose steroids were started and complete remission of proteinuria was achieved one month into therapy which was slowly tapered over the next five months. Eventual resolution of edema and return of creatinine back to patient’s baseline level was achieved. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first report of nephrotic syndrome manifesting soon after initiation of balsalazide therapy. Our work highlights the importance of maintaining a high clinical suspicion for nephrotoxicity when using balsalazide.
