Brand-Led Transformation
Authors: Massa Pier M.
Published: September 2018

Brand-led transformation is about leveraging the power of a corporate brand to drive fundamental change within organisations. Focused on complex service businesses, the brand serves as the starting point for a systematic process of transformation that drives change down to the level of business operations. This ensures that the principles of the promise are experienced in every interaction that the company has with its customers. Organizations typically struggle with translating brand-led customer-centric strategies into tangible and specific change outcomes at the front line. This chapter melds a practitioner's view with current theory and offers pragmatic and proven approaches to translating these strategies into a framework and a methodology that drives direct customer and company benefits with successful enterprise-wide outcomes that impact the full business. In addition, this structured approach is complemented with insight into a deeper review of the role of agents of change and their impact on implementation across the organization.
How Branded Entertainment Shapes Consumers' Brand Attitudes
Authors: Verhellen Yann , Dens Nathalie , De Pelsmacker Patrick
Published: September 2018

This chapter investigates how consumers' brand attitudes are influenced by an advanced form of branded entertainment: the Advertiser-Funded Program. Based on prior work on brand placement, hybrid advertising, and branded entertainment, a model is constructed that captures the interplay of three key determinants of brand attitudes: program liking, viewing frequency, and program connectedness. Results indicate that liking of the program is transferred to brand attitudes. This effect is complementarily mediated by connectedness with the program but not by viewing frequency. The chapter concludes with a discussion of implications for theory and practice and provides an overview of potential avenues for future research.
A New Fuzzy Rule Interpolation Approach to Terrorism Risk Assessment
Authors: Jin Shangzhu , Ge Jike , Peng Jun
Published: September 2018

Terrorist attacks launched by extremist groups or individuals have caused catastrophic consequences worldwide. Terrorism risk assessment therefore plays a crucial role in national and international security. Fuzzy reasoning based terrorism risk assessment systems offer a significant potential of providing decision support in combating terrorism, where highly complex situations may be involved. Nevertheless, little has been done in developing and applying an integrated hierarchical bidirectional (forward/backward) fuzzy rule interpolation mechanism that is tailored to suit decision support for terrorism risk assessment. This paper presents such an integrated approach that is capable of dealing with dynamic and insufficient information in the risk assessing process. In particular, the hierarchical system implementing the proposed techniques can predict the likelihood of terrorism attacks on different segments of focused attention. The results of an experimental investigation of this implemented system are represented, demonstrating the potential and efficacy of the proposed approach.
Psychological and Behavioral Examinations of Online Terrorism
Authors: Prentice Sheryl , Taylor Paul J.
Published: September 2018

It has long been recognised that terrorists make use of the internet as one of many means through which to further their cause. This use of the internet has fuelled a large number of studies seeking to understand terrorists' use of online environments. This chapter provides an overview of current understandings of online terrorist behavior, coupled with an outline of the qualitative and quantitative approaches that can and have been adopted to research this phenomenon. The chapter closes with a discussion of the contentious issue of ethics in online terrorism research. The aim of the chapter is to equip readers with the necessary knowledge and skills to conduct their own research into terrorists' online behavior, taking best ethical practices into consideration when doing so.
Logic Tester for the Classification of Cyberterrorism Attacks
Authors: Veerasamy N. , Grobler M.M.
Published: September 2018

The merging of terrorism with the cyber domain introduces the potential for using computers and networked technologies in cyberspace to carry out extremist activities. Despite the current debate on whether cyberterrorism can be regarded as a real threat, this research will propose a method for classifying incidents as either cyberterrorism or cyber attacks. Although there have been no reported cases of Information Communication Technologies causing life-threatening situations or death, this research aims to show that cyberterrorism is not a negligible threat but instead a dangerous risk that should not be overlooked. This research will investigate the merging of terrorism with the cyber domain and present a multi-layered definition for cyberterrorism. This proposed definition is founded on the definition for traditional terrorism and incorporates elements of the international understanding of cyberterrorism. The research future presents a Logic Tester that uses Boolean logic to test the application of the multi-layered definition for cyberterrorism in terms of past international cyber incidents. The merit of the Logic Tester is presented through its application on a number of potential cyberterrorism scenarios, using the definition to classify these as either cyberterrorism or cyber attacks.
Case Studies of Chronically Ill Children
Authors: Gibbon Thomas C. , Schwilk Christopher L. , Cline Jenifer , Matthews Kimberly , Sweigart Katie , Ferguson Emily , Bateman David F.
Published: September 2018

Medical advances have increased the number of children who have survived and are now living with chronic medical conditions (Irwin & Elam, 2011; Singer 2012). Diseases and conditions that as recently as a decade ago were considered fatal or completely debilitating are now increasingly treated as chronic conditions. Among these are several types of cancer, HIV/AIDS, respiratory illnesses, and severe epilepsy. Increasingly, students with severe chronic conditions are educated in public schools instead of home or hospital settings. The purpose of this chapter is to present case studies of real children and families that will allow educators and others a personal glimpse into the lives of children with chronic illness and their families. Suggestions for analyzing the case studies are provided that will help teachers, administrators, and teacher educators to examine the complex issues surrounding the educational needs of children with chronic illnesses.
General Approach to Evaluating Beneficial and Adverse Effects of CAM Use in Kidney Diseases
Authors: Tangkiatkumjai Mayuree , Kreepala Chatchai
Published: September 2018

This chapter will address the issue of how to evaluate benefits and nephrotoxicity of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in chronic kidney disease, dialysis therapy, kidney transplantation, and urolithiasis. Serum creatinine, proteinuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate are standard parameters to assess kidney function. Serum creatinine is used in evaluating acute kidney injury, which is the most common nephropathy from using herbal medicine. Assessment of electrolyte imbalance and urolithiasis is included in this chapter. The modified Naranjo algorithm has been proposed as a way to evaluate renal adverse effects of herbal medicine due to a lack of disease-specific causality assessments in herbal use. Measurement of humanistic outcomes is mentioned in this chapter. The SF-36 is commonly used in evaluating quality of life in CAM users and patients with kidney diseases. The MYMOP2 is to assess individual's symptoms in CAM use and might be used in this population.

Authors: Kaljo Kristina , Jacques Laura
Published: September 2018

The preparation of today's physicians is a tremendous responsibility. For medical students to be successful, they must experience a multitude of opportunities to develop appropriate clinical skills, problem solving acumen, and medical knowledge. Due to various barriers, medical students may develop gaps in critical and foundational knowledge. The use of flipped lectures has the capacity to “mobilize” education and ensure for versatility and improved content acquisition through the implementation of both online and face-to-face teaching methodologies. This hybrid learning environment has the capacity to also address the increasingly diverse needs of today's matriculating medical student. This chapter identifies tools and strategies of how to incorporate flipped lectures into medical education.
Integrating Evidence-Based Practice in Athletic Training Though Online Learning
Authors: Vorndran Brittany A. , D'Abundo Michelle Lee
Published: September 2018

Evidence-based practice (EBP) involves a healthcare professional using his or her own knowledge, the current research published, and the needs of the patient to make the best clinical decision. This has been a hot topic in many different branches of healthcare and recently athletic trainers have begun to embrace its importance. In December of 2015, athletic trainers (ATs) will need to have completed 10 of their 50 continuing education units (CEUs) in EBP to maintain certification. While ATs recognize the significance of implementing EBP into clinical decision making, there are many barriers slowing the change. This chapter includes information about how EBP is currently being used by athletic training clinicians and educators, the barriers ATs perceive to using EBP, the importance of using EBP, and managing the transition needed to successfully adopt the use of EBP. Online learning will be reviewed as the primary method of diffusing EBP into the profession of athletic training.
Use of Technology in Problem-Based Learning in Health Science
Authors: Singh Indu , Kundur Avinash Reddy , Nguy Yun-Mi
Published: September 2018

Recent advances in the field of digital technology have had a significant role in changing the concept of learning and teaching for both students and teachers. These developments have enabled educational systems to move from their traditional classroom-based teaching models to a more enhanced blended/e-learning approach including an array of electronic learning tools such as digital microscopy, electronic cell counter, 3D virtual reality, and demonstration videos. An integration of these digital tools along with contemporary face-to-face teaching can significantly improve student learning outcomes and provide convenient and flexible access to education and training. This model demonstrated a positive impact on laboratory-based courses such as Laboratory Medicine at Griffith University. The objective of this chapter is to highlight the impact and advantages of this particular model from the student- and teacher-based perspective. This chapter will also discuss some of the challenges of implementing this mode of teaching and provide future directions.
Piracy and Intellectual Property Theft in the Internet Era
Authors: Wang Shun-Yung Kevin , McDaniel Jeremy J
Published: September 2018

Stealing ideas is not something new, but stealing and transporting ideas in a massive amount has become possible in the era of the internet. Based on the frameworks of criminological theory/thesis, this chapter intends to elaborate intellectual property theft and piracy in cyberspace. Contemporary cases of intellectual property theft and piracy are used to illustrate the blurred line between victims and offenders. The impacts of related information technology should be carefully appraised, as more and more intellectual properties are in digital format.
Cost Estimation and Security Investment of Security Projects
Authors: Miaoui Yosra , Fessi Boutheina A. , Boudriga Noureddine
Published: September 2018

This chapter aims at examining two main aspects in security: cost estimation and investment assessment. The characteristics of security projects are stressed and the importance of adopting management task is determined. In addition, the chapter examines the different cost-estimation models developed for security project and discusses the technical and managerial factors affecting the cost estimation and the management of projects. In addition, a review of research works directed toward security investment models is determined. In fact, most models have focused on determining the optimal security investment allocation based on budgetary, economic, and financial constraints. Recent models are interested to examine more specific security features when assessing the required investment (e.g., system vulnerabilities, attack types, risk factors, data privacy, and insurance). Finally, the chapter discusses future directions that could be investigated to make available useful models for cost estimation and investment on security projects.
Sensitive Business Processes: Characteristics, Representation, and Evaluation of Modeling Approaches
Authors: Ben Hassen Mariam , Turki Mohamed , Gargouri Faiez
Published: September 2018

This article presents a set of sensitive business process (SBP) modeling requirements and proposes a multi-criteria evaluation framework to appraise the expressiveness of currently widely used business process modelling formalisms to select the most suitable for SBP representation. The modelling of SBPs, be they process oriented or knowledge oriented, presents special requirements dictated by several factors: the highly dynamic complexity and flexibility of the processes; the high number of critical activities requiring intensive acquisition, sharing, storage and (re)use of very specific crucial knowledge; the specificity and diversity of information and knowledge sources; and the high degree of collaboration and interaction (intra/inter-organizational) among participants (who apply, create and share a great amount of very important tacit organizational knowledge, in order to achieve collective objectives and create value). As SBP models get more complex, the selection of the appropriate modeling formalism gains in importance to improve the identification of crucial knowledge that is mobilized and created by these processes. Furthermore, the result of the evaluation led us to justify the choice of the better one positioned nowadays, the standard BPMN 2.0. Besides, the authors have illustrated the practical applicability of this specification on a medical process in the context of the organization of protection of the motor disabled people of Sfax-Tunisia.

St. Louis Encephalitis Virus Disease in the United States, 2003–2017
Authors: Curren Emily J. , Lindsey Nicole P. , Fischer Marc , Hills Susan L.
Published: September 2018

St. Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV), an arthropod-borne flavivirus, can cause disease presentations ranging from mild febrile illness through severe encephalitis. We reviewed U.S. national SLEV surveillance data for 2003 through 2017, including human disease cases and nonhuman infections. Over the 15-year period, 198 counties from 33 states and the District of Columbia reported SLEV activity; 94 (47%) of those counties reported SLEV activity only in nonhuman species. A total of 193 human cases of SLEV disease were reported, including 148 cases of neuroinvasive disease. A median of 10 cases were reported per year. The national average annual incidence of reported neuroinvasive disease cases was 0.03 per million. States with the highest average annual incidence of reported neuroinvasive disease cases were Arkansas, Arizona, and Mississippi. No large outbreaks occurred during the reporting period. The most commonly reported clinical syndromes were encephalitis (N = 116, 60%), febrile illness (N = 35, 18%), and meningitis (N = 25, 13%). Median age of cases was 57 years (range 2–89 years). The case fatality rate was 6% (11/193) and all deaths were among patients aged > 45 years with neuroinvasive disease. Nonhuman surveillance data indicated wider SLEV activity in California, Nevada, and Florida than the human data alone suggested. Prevention depends on community efforts to reduce mosquito populations and personal protective measures to decrease exposure to mosquitoes.
Modeling and Simulation of stochastically deformed Waveguides using Schelkunoff's Method
Authors: Pham Hoang Duc , Ploennigs Soeren , Mathis Wolfgang
Published: September 2018

Abstract. This paper deals with the propagation of electromagnetic waves in cylindrical
waveguides with irregularly deformed cross-sections. The general theory of
electromagnetic waves is of high interest because of its practical use as a
transmission medium. But only in a few special cases, an analytic solution of
Maxwell's equations and the appropriate boundary conditions can be found
(Spencer, 1951). The coupled-mode theory, also known as Schelkunoff's
method, is a semi-numerical method for computing electromagnetic waves in
hollow and cylindrical waveguides bounded by perfect electric walls
(Saad, 1985). It allows to calculate the transverse field pattern and the
propagation constant. The aim of this paper is to derive the so-called
generalized telegraphist's equations for irregular deformed waveguides.
Subsequently, the method's application will be used on a circular waveguide
as an illustrating example.
A digital receiver signal strength detector for multi-standard low-IF receivers
Authors: Saalfeld Tobias , Piwczyk Tobias , Wunderlich Ralf , Heinen Stefan
Published: September 2018

Abstract. This paper presents a receiver signal strength detector based on a discrete
Fourier transform implementation. The energy detection algorithm has been
designed and measured using a custom multi-standard transceiver ASIC with a
low-IF receiver at 0.5, 1 and 2 MHz IF. The proposed implementation
directly processes the single bit ΔΣ modulator data and features
a clear channel assessment for arbitrary modulation schemes without energy
consuming demodulation. Continuous monitoring of the derivative of the RSSI
takes advantage of faster coefficient convergence for higher power levels and
reduces computation time. A dynamic range of 65 dB has been achieved
in FPGA based measurements with a linearity error of less than
1.2 dB. Furthermore, synthesis results for an on-chip implementation
for an 130 nm RF CMOS technology show an overall power consumption of
1.5 mW during calculation.
Where to go from here? New cross layer techniques for LTE Turbo-Code decoding at high code rates
Authors: Weithoffer Stefan , Wehn Norbert
Published: September 2018

Abstract. The wide range of code rates and code block sizes supported by todays wireless communication standards, together with the requirement for a throughput in the order of Gbps, necessitates sophisticated and highly parallel channel decoder architectures. Code rates specified in the LTE standard, which uses Turbo-Codes, range up to r=0.94 to maximize the information throughput by transmitting only a minimum amount of parity information, which negatively impacts the error correcting performance. This especially holds for highly parallel hardware architectures. Therefore, the error correcting performance must be traded-off against the degree of parallel processing. State-of-the-art Turbo-Code decoder hardware architectures are optimized on code block level to alleviate this trade-off. In this paper, we follow a cross-layer approach by combining system level knowledge about the rate-matching and the transport block structure in LTE with the bit-level technique of on-the-fly CRC calculation. Thereby, our proposed Turbo-Code decoder hardware architecture achieves coding gains of 0.4–1.8 dB compared to state-of-the-art accross a wide range of code block sizes. For the fully LTE compatible Turbo-Code decoder, we demonstrate a negligible hardware overhead and a resulting high area and energy efficiency and give post place and route synthesis numbers.
A new method (M3Fusion-v1) for combining observations and multiple model output for an improved estimate of the global surface ozone distribution

Published: September 2018

Abstract. We have developed a new statistical approach (M3Fusion) for combining surface ozone observations from thousands of monitoring sites around the world with the output from multiple atmospheric chemistry models to produce a global surface ozone distribution with greater accuracy than can be provided by any individual model. The ozone observations from 4766 monitoring sites were provided by the Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report (TOAR) surface ozone database which contains the world's largest collection of surface ozone metrics. Output from six models was provided by the participants of the Chemistry-Climate Model Initiative (CCMI) and NASA's Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO). We analyze the 6-month maximum of the maximum daily 8-hour average ozone value (DMA8) for relevance to ozone health impacts. We interpolate the irregularly-spaced observations onto a fine resolution grid by using integrated nested Laplace approximations, and compare the ozone field to each model in each world region. This method allows us to produce a global surface ozone field based on TOAR observations, which we then use to select the combination of global models with the greatest skill in each of 8 world regions; models with greater skill in a particular region are given higher weight. This blended model product is bias-corrected within two degrees of observation locations to produce the final fused surface ozone product. We show that our fused product has an improved mean squared error compared to the simple multi-model ensemble mean.

Estudio (s) sobre la luna. Un proyecto de investigación-creación en artes del cuerpo.
Authors: Brozas-Polo María Paz
Published: September 2018

Este artículo da cuenta de un proyecto de creación e investigación realizado por un equipo interdisciplinar (danza, circo, performance, música y fotografía) a partir de un dúo coreográfico: Estudio (0) sobre la luna. Desde esta primera creación se evoluciona hacia una serie de veinte ensayos y presentaciones experimentales con un conjunto de artistas y con el público. Para la elaboración de este documento se utiliza el análisis de contenido bibliográfico, así como de los materiales generados a través del registro audiovisual y los cuadernos de campo. Del método de composición utilizado destacan la reformulación colectiva de la coreografía inicial mediante la improvisación, así como la repetición de la estructura y en la estructura como generadora de diferencia. A lo largo del proceso se constata la emergencia de la naturaleza lúdica de los objetos y cómo esta hace de disolvente de la disciplina y de los roles preestablecidos. Además, se descubre en la oscuridad una condición fructífera para expandir los sentidos, fundir los cuerpos y cuestionar los límites de las imágenes que construimos en torno a ellos. Finalmente, se evidencia la fragilidad de la distinción entre la educación o la animación artísticas y los procesos de creación y acción participativos.
O Estado Brincante
Authors: Araujo Miguel Almir Lima
Published: September 2018

O texto plasma ponderações/meditações acerca do estado brincante desde um horizonte compreensivo que prima por olhares polilógicos e transdisciplinares. Nessa perspectiva, trata do estado brincante como estado de dis-posição e de abertura do senso de humor que viceja a coexistência seminal e in-tensiva entre o corpo e o espírito humanos; como expressão do estado de espanto e de admiração que envolve a inteireza de nosso ser na fruição do impulso lúdico mediante as sensações e sentimentos de bem estar e altivez, de despojamento e gratuidade, de alegria e contenteza; como tradução da plasticidade e do dinamismo rítmico dos fluxos moventes da tragicomicidade do existir que insuflam processos criantes e libertários que implicam na transgressão da sisudez das fôrmas instituídas e compressivas e no envidar de processos de mutação e de emancipação; como o constelar da poeticidade do jogo que perfaz as proezas do cotidiano na expressão do riso e da vivacidade que dão cromaticidade e alumbramento ao existir.
A despecuniarização na responsabilidade civil a partir do filme Aquarius: tutela inibitória e compensação in natura de danos morais
Authors: Xerez Rafael Marcílio , Capistrano Márcio Anderson Silveira
Published: September 2018

A partir do drama vivenciado pela personagem Clara no filme Aquarius (2016), o presente artigo objetiva caracterizar os excessos da monetarização no enfrentamento aos danos morais e indicar alternativas jurídicas aplicáveis no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, com lastro no exame da doutrina especializada e de decisões judiciais. Caracterizada a tendência de prevenção de danos e tutela específica das obrigações, examina-se a viabilidade da ação inibitória como remédio processual para garantir o sossego domiciliar em face de vizinhos. Ademais, verifica-se a plausibilidade jurídica da tese da compensação in natura de danos morais, mesmo na ausência de autorização expressa em lei. Conclui-se que, preventivamente, é preciso garantir a ação inibitória para defender interesses existenciais e que, após a ocorrência do dano moral, é salutar que a compensação pecuniária seja associada a meios despecuniarizados de reparação, como o pedido público de desculpas, a fim de efetivamente fazer frente ao prejuízo moral na mesma seara em que foi experimentado.
‘Buiten de rechter om?’

Published: September 2018

Out of court sanctioning and the diminishing role of the judiciary

The Dutch Judiciary has only a very limited role in the imposition of sanctions with traffic offenses. With other minor offenses its role is rather limited and has decreased. There has been a striking shift from the imposition of penal sanctions to sanctions based on administrative law in this area. With major offenses (crimes) the role of the judiciary is still significant and has not diminished over the last 20 years. This despite policy efforts to boost out of court sanctioning.

The Judiciary is a fundamental pillar of the rule of law. It offers legal protection, by judging and, if necessary, penalizing violations of norms in a fair trial. In this way not only justice is done with individual cases. Case law has wider implications: confirmation and development of norms and thus general prevention. To fulfil this aim a certain volume of cases and openness of the judgment process is necessary.

The trend in the number of administrative sanctions for minor offences

This paper looks at the number of administrative sanctions for minor offences since 2005. Administrative sanction can be divided into two categories: restorative sanctions and punitive sanctions. Information is limited and dispersed. The number of offences handled by welfare agencies has decreased with 21% in the period 2005-2016. In the same period the number of administrative sanctions for traffic offences imposed by the police/public prosecutor have decreased with 14% (mainly originating from automated traffic cameras). Also administrative sanctions imposed by supervisory financial agencies have decreased with 58%. For some organisations the observation period is a shorter. In the period 2011-2016 the number of administrative sanctions for traffic offences imposed by municipalities has increased with 41% and the number of administrative sanctions imposed by supervisory non-financial agencies have decreased with 47%. There is no information available on administrative sanctions for tax fraud.

Openbare orde, veiligheid en langdurig verblijvende Unieburgers

Hoeveel gevaar voor de openbare orde moet een gastlidstaat tolereren van een langdurig gevestigde Unieburger en zijn familie? Artikel 28 Richtlijn 2004/38/EG beoogt aan gevestigden een hogere bescherming tegen uitzetting te geven. Volgens de considerans (overweging 24) moet bescherming tegen verwijdering sterker zijn naarmate de Unieburger en zijn familieleden beter in het gastland geïntegreerd zijn. Als zij vele jaren op het grondgebied van het gastland hebben verbleven, zeker wanneer zij daar geboren zijn en er hun hele leven hebben gewoond, mogen verwijderingsmaatregelen slechts onder uitzonderlijke omstandigheden worden genomen. Artikel 28 heeft geleid tot nogal wat jurisprudentiële verwarring. Van extra bescherming blijkt nauwelijks sprake te zijn.

Europese Commissie: ‘Online platforms moeten meer verantwoordelijkheid nemen bij het bestrijden van online illegale content.’

Op 28 september 2017 publiceerde de Europese Commissie een mededeling over de bestrijding van illegale onlinecontent, waarin zij onlineplatforms wijst op hun bijzondere maatschappelijke verantwoordelijkheid met betrekking tot het toegankelijk maken van dergelijke content. De mededeling bevat politieke richtsnoeren en beginselen voor onlineplatforms om de strijd tegen illegale online-inhoud op te voeren. Als aanvulling hierop heeft de Commissie op 1 maart 2018 een aanbeveling gepubliceerd met een reeks operationele maatregelen die moeten worden genomen door internetplatforms en lidstaten. Afhankelijk van het effect van deze maatregelen zal de Commissie bepalen over verdere stappen, waaronder wetgeving. Deze mededeling en aanbeveling lossen de huidige problemen met illegale content echter niet op, maar zorgen voor meer onduidelijkheid en minder transparantie in de strijd tegen online illegale content.

Medellín e Teologia da Libertação: muito mais que uma relação histórica
Authors: Brighenti Agenor
Published: September 2018

Medellín e a Teologia da Libertação têm em comum um contexto social e eclesial marcado por profundas transformações, desafiando os cristãos a se somarem na busca de alternativas à situação de uma sociedade marcada pela injustiça institucionalizada e a exclusão. E tanto Medellín como a Teologia da Libertação foram duas respostas à altura, que dariam muito que falar, que pensar e que fazer. Medellín deu à Igreja na América Latina um rosto próprio, plasmado pelas comunidades eclesiais de base, a leitura popular da Bíblia, por uma Igreja pobre e para os pobres, pela pastoral social e os mártires das causas sociais. A palavra própria lhe foi dada pela Teologia da Libertação, gestada em torno a Medellín, não só “uma nova maneira de fazer teologia” como “uma teologia nova”, a primeira teologia na história da Igreja diferente da única teologia do centro e nascida na periferia.  Palavras-chave: Medellín. Teologia. Libertação. Igreja. Sociedade.
Os leigos em Medellín: memórias e novas perspectivas
Authors: Kuzma Cesar
Published: September 2018

O artigo que apresentamos tem a intenção de refletir sobre a vocação e missão dos leigos descritas no Documento de Medellín, dedica-se a um resgate das memórias que podemos colher, depois de 50 anos, mas, também, em atenção às novas perspectivas que o próprio documento nos traz, hoje. Medellín foi um marco importante para a história da Igreja da América Latina e voltar a esta conferência pode nos oferecer novas pistas e novos entendimentos para situações que vivemos hoje, tanto na Igreja quanto na sociedade. Assim como o Concílio Vaticano II, Medellín foi importante para uma nova posição dos leigos na Igreja e para um novo entendimento de sua ação na sociedade, com autonomia e responsabilidades próprias. Neste artigo, daremos atenção ao Concílio Vaticano II e a sua recepção criativa em Medellín. Exploraremos aspectos do capítulo que trata exclusivamente dos leigos e, na sequência, discorreremos sobre algumas questões que o tema provoca e que, depois de 50 anos, mostram-se atuais e oferecem novos caminhos.
Desconstrução e justiça: uma abertura frente ao outro
Authors: Zevallos Verónica Pilar Gomezjurado
Published: September 2018

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma argumentação sobre a possibilidade de se pensar a justiça como uma experiência do impossível. Parte-se da distinção derridiana entre justiça e direito. Essa distinção trará algumas implicações no que tradicionalmente é entendido como ética. Partindo do jogo ou da différance marcada entre a presença/ausência, pretende-se estabelecer um ponto de diálogo entre Derrida e Levinas. O ponto de aproximação é a questão do terceiro (justiça) na relação do face a face. Nesse sentido, problematiza-se se a desconstrução pode ser adotada como um (im)possível modo filosófico que fundamente a compreensão da justiça.

The Lithuanian Society of Ignacy Domeyko was established 4 December 2002. During the 15 years. The Society has collected a lot of new data concerning the lifetime of the oldest noble family Kontrim-Domeyko in the area of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The family is known from 1498 when it got the coat of arms “Danguel” after King Vladislaus The Second. A family tree shows their residence deep from 1725. Among the family circle are known land-lords, judges, custodians, nobleman marshals, but most illustrious was a widely known scientist, famous geo­lo­gist Ignacy Domeyko (31.07.1802 Niedzwiadka – 23.01.1889 Santiago).
Variantología de lo transmedial entre España y Latinoamérica: Espectáculos públicos e hibridación mediática en los siglos XVIII y XIX
Authors: Vásquez Arias Mauricio
Published: September 2018

El presente artículo, derivado de los avances de la primera etapa del proyecto de investigación «Diseño transmedia para experiencias de apropiación de archivos culturales», tiene como propósito aportar a la discusión contemporánea sobre el campo de la transmedialidad, a partir de la revisión y reconstrucción de algunas prácticas intermediales, de hibridación y de convergencia de medios, saberes, artes y tecnologías entre los siglos xviii y xix, las cuales se caracterizaron por integrar en diversos tipos de espectáculos una gran multiplicidad de dispositivos, entre los que se encuentran los denominados juguetes filosóficos. Lo anterior como evidencia de mixturas mediáticas producidas antes de la denominada cultura de convergencia. Para tal efecto, esta investigación acude a una perspectiva arqueológica de los medios y, más específicamente, variantológica, la cual se concentra en trazar algunas conexiones y tensiones entre trayectorias mediáticas específicas que se configuraron local y regionalmente gracias, en este caso, a los intercambios entre España y América Latina.
A A Compact Bandwidth Enhanced Antenna Loaded with SRR For WLAN/WiMAX/Satellite Applications
Authors: Ali T. , Aw M. S. , Biradar R. C.
Published: September 2018

A compact bandwidth enhanced antenna using metamaterial single Rectangular Split Ring Resonator (RSRR) for WLAN/WiMAX/Satellite applications is presented. As the wireless modules continue to shrink, there exists a drastic demand for a compact antenna. In addition to this, the effective integration of an antenna in wireless devices acts as stand-alone implement to mitigate the effects of noise fading. The presented antenna consists of three metamaterial single RSRR and a coaxial feed. Compactness in the design is achieved with the help of coaxial feeding technique. The etching of Upper metamaterial single RSRR creates a resonance at 6 GHz (WLAN) band, with S11 < -10 dB bandwidth ranging from 5.46 – 6.7 GHz (1240 MHz). Bandwidth enhancement in the proposed design at 6 GHz, is accomplished by the two metamaterial single RSRR placed at the left and ride side of the radiating patch, just below the upper RSRR. Due to the placement of two lower RSRR the bandwidth of the proposed antenna gets enhanced from 1240 to 3120 MHz. The antenna has a size of only  20 x 18 x 2.54 mm3 . The antenna exhibits bi-directional and Omni-directional radiation characteristics in E and H-plane, respectively. Compact size, good impedance matching, stable radiation pattern and radiation efficiency greater than 95% are observed across the operational bandwidths of the designed antenna. The aforementioned advantages make the proposed antenna suitable for WLAN/WiMAX/Satellite applications.
Ziconotide-induced psychosis: A case report and literature review
Authors: Burdge Gary , Leach Henry , Walsh Kim
Published: September 2018

Ziconotide is an intrathecally administered medication indicated for the treatment of severe chronic pain in patients who are intolerant of or refractory to other treatment options. A black box warning is included in the packaging and states ziconotide is contraindicated in patients with a preexisting history of psychosis. Patients taking ziconotide should be monitored for evidence of cognitive impairment, hallucinations, or changes in mood, and ziconotide should be discontinued if neurological or psychiatric signs and symptoms appear. We present a case of a 49-year-old white male with no previous neuropsychiatric history who received ziconotide for several years before he developed command auditory hallucinations within 24 hours of a dose increase. Upon admission to the emergency room, the patient's pain management physician was contacted and the ziconotide dose was decreased and eventually discontinued. Because of a continuation of symptoms, the patient was transferred from the emergency room to an acute care psychiatric hospital where he was started on risperidone 1 mg orally at bedtime. At discharge, the patient was noted to be in good behavioral control without any hallucinations. The patient was encouraged to follow up with his pain management physician to determine if ziconotide should be reconsidered.
Sick Role
Authors: Russ Ann Julienne
Published: September 2018

In theorizing illness as a form of deviance, sanctioned, contained, and managed by social means, Talcott Parsons's formulation of the “sick role” offered a significant critique of the medical model and provided basis for the subdiscipline of medical sociology. While it has been critically evaluated in subsequent years, the concept remains relevant, including through its extension to more current concerns with prevention and health promotion as primary arenas for mobilization and management of the self.
Transgender
Authors: Besnier Niko
Published: September 2018

Transgender is a heterogeneous sociocultural category of persons whose gender identification transgresses, in one way or another, the gender norms extant in the society of which they are part. In its most encompassing sense, the term can be applied to a broad variety of manifestations that differ from one another in terms of their practices and desires, their epistemological construction, and their relationship to the mainstream. The diversity of the category is counterbalanced by the fact that some manifestations can easily transform into others, which warrants an approach focused on comparing different transgender subjectivities across and within societies.
Research Traditions on Law in Anglo‐American Anthropology
Authors: Moore Sally Falk
Published: September 2018

The use of fieldwork as fundamental to community research, the study of the self‐enforcement of varieties of local social norms, and the study of modes of management of disputes are key themes in the writings of legal anthropologists. In another vein, the legal arrangements applying to larger entities than local communities are considered, including legislation by the state, legal pluralism, human rights, land tenure, and global legal relations including treaties, transnational business practices, development regimes, and migration. There are obviously dramatic differences between the sites studied as well as in the methods used to gather information.
Slavery
Authors: Salau Mohammed Bashir
Published: September 2018

This entry deals with the literature on slavery produced by anthropologists since the mid‐nineteenth century. Although some reference is made to works on the African American New World and other areas, the main focus is on important works on Africa written by scholars in the field in question since 1970. In highlighting more attention to important works on Africa written in recent times, the entry stresses that, despite the focus on varied themes like external slave trading, the cultural impact of Africans in diaspora communities, and contemporary slavery, there has been an established and ongoing concern with whether or not African internal slavery had a mainly economic dimension. It also stresses that the issues raised by anthropologists have enriched historical works on slavery in Africa. In the latter regard, it contends that, while drawing attention to the limitations of recent anthropological models, historians have also accepted some of the conclusions of the anthropologists.
Social Brain Hypothesis
Authors: Oesch Nathan
Published: September 2018

The social brain hypothesis argues the computational demands of living in highly complex social groups selected for overall increases in primate brain volume—including humans—explaining in large part the unusually large brains of many primate species. In particular, among both corvids and anthropoid primates, unusually high encephalization seems to be associated with complex social systems that involve strong social bonds between group members of both sexes. The entry surveys current research from primatology, social psychology, comparative animal behavior, evolutionary anthropology, behavioral endocrinology, social cognitive neuroscience, developmental psychology, and psychopathology, all of which offer substantive evidence in support of this hypothesis. Suggestions are offered for further readings, including alternative hypotheses for this proposal.
Africa,Sub‐Saharan, Emergence of Anthropology in
Authors: Ntarangwi Mwenda
Published: September 2018

What paths did anthropology take in the process of gaining a foothold in sub‐Saharan Africa? Who were the key players and what influences did they have on the current version of the discipline? This entry examines the key players—individuals, research institutes, and nations—in highlighting anthropology's emergence in sub‐Saharan Africa. In the end, we have an anthropology that embodies multiple methodological and phenomenological identities that reflect variably situated practices and applications. The discipline continues to contend with the challenges of navigating a constantly changing terrain that is similar to that facing higher education in Africa in general, but its utility and place in the academic and social life of Africans is unquestionable.
Cultural Resource Management
Authors: Jenks Kelly L. , Jelinek Lauren E.
Published: September 2018

Cultural resource management refers to the practice and industry of managing elements of cultural heritage in compliance with laws that protect and preserve significant resources for present and future generations. The field of cultural resource management developed mostly in the late twentieth century in response to the rapid development of a global economy. While not all countries have not developed laws protecting cultural resources, in those that have, cultural resource management has emerged as a major employer of individuals trained in archaeology, anthropology, and related fields. Significant themes within the study and practice of cultural resource management include the identification and evaluation of cultural resources, assessing and mitigating the effects of development, preservation, publication, and collaboration.
