Exploring student perceptions of ward simulation as an exercise to improve decision-making skills in the clinical context
Authors: MacMillan Calum , Hogg George
Published: January 2018

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Introduction: At the point of graduation, medical students are expected to demonstrate competence making a range of decisions in the clinical environment. However, research continues to highlight that both students and graduates lack effective methods for dealing with complex decisions, with students emphasising having little, if any, experience of making many clinical decisions during their undergraduate training. To combat this, an Acute Medical Unit ward simulation exercise (AMUWSE) has been recently incorporated into the 4th year curriculum at Dundee Medical School to aid the development of these skills. Methodology: This study aimed to explore how students perceive their decision-making ability is influenced by an AMUWSE and how this teaching exercise could be improved. An action research approach was adopted to investigate medical students' perceptions of how participation in this exercise influences clinical decision-making skills. An initial online questionnaire was circulated before four group interviews were conducted. Results: It was found that the majority of students perceived the AMUWSE to have been of significant benefit in developing clinical decision-making. A number of learning points from the exercise were identified, incorporated into six overarching themes: making clinical decisions, prioritising, handing over information, asking for help, dealing with time constraints and preparation for clinical practice. Within many of these themes, students expressed deficiencies in teaching during the "basic science" years of medical school. Conclusions: This study highlighted the effectiveness of an AMUWSE to improve the clinical decision-making ability of medical students, while offering invaluable insights into the nature of clinical practice. Despite this, areas for improvement have been identified to make this simulation exercise a more effective means of improving clinical decision-making. Furthermore, there remains a need for consideration of how these skills can be developed during the early years of medical school. While a complex process, certain teaching interventions, such as an AMUWSE, have shown potential in aiding this development; helping to create more competent, well-equipped junior doctors.
Coupled experimental assessment of physico-biochemical characteristics of municipal solid waste undergoing enhanced biodegradation
Authors: Fei X. , Zekkos D.
Published: January 2018

Seven municipal solid waste (MSW) specimens with variable initial waste compositions were biodegraded in large (d = 300 mm, h = 600 mm) laboratory landfill simulators under leachate-recirculation-enhanced anaerobic biodegradation conditions to investigate changes in the biochemical and physical characteristics of solid waste, leachate and biogas during biodegradation. The evolution with time of the monitored characteristics of the three phases was presented and the characteristics empirically correlated. The impact of the initial composition of waste on the biodegradation process was quantified. Although removal of soluble compounds in leachate, and methane (CH4) generation from waste was practically completed after around 300 days, changes in vertical strain, total unit weight and volumetric moisture content of waste continued in decreasing rates even after 1000 days. Methane generation potential (L0) of the waste was correlated to the percentage of biodegradable waste prior to degradation expressed by parameter B0. Maximum methane generation rate (rCH4,max) increased with increasing L0 and maximum soluble chemical oxygen demand in leachate. Final strain (or settlement) of waste due to anaerobic biodegradation (εB,f) increased with increasing B0 and L0. The compression ratio was found to vary during the process, although it is commonly assumed to be constant. The maximum long-term compression ratio increased with increasing εB,f and rCH4,max. The total unit weight at submerged and field capacity states and volumetric moisture content of waste were also dependent on the initial composition and compression (quantified by strain) of waste. The trends presented in this study contribute to the quantitative understanding of coupled processes during enhanced biodegradation of MSW of variable waste composition.
Urbanisation control lab: Icelandic perspective on urban planning for rapid urbanisation
Authors: Eboli Carolina Cardoso Pera
Published: January 2018

Rapid urbanisation is one of the world's current challenges, especially in developing countries and particularly, given the shift from rural to predominant urban societies. Thus, urban planning has an important role to play in presenting answers that guarantee positive outcomes from this growth. This research explores the possible solutions that are suitable for addressing rapid urbanisation, through literature review and using Reykjavik as a case study. The evaluation criteria derived from the literature is applied to Reykjavik's current Municipal Plan and to a local plan – Vogabyggd Project. The results indicate that Reykjavik is a positive example of incorporating rapid urbanisation in its planning processes and highlights its contribution to other contexts, when perceived as a controlled lab that tests and refines its urban policies within an internal focus of urban life improvement.

Published: January 2018

Increased temperature, decreased water level and reduced culture period of the ponds are considered as major problems for aquaculture promotion in drought prone Barind area of Bangladesh. In order to address these problems, an experiment was conducted to optimize the stocking weight for carp polyculture ponds in Tanore upazila of Rajshahi district, Bangladesh. Three different stocking weights were tested under three treatments (T1: 25±0.12g; T2: 50± 0.15g; and T3: 100±0.19g), each with three replications. Fish growing period (July-December), carp species (C. catla, H. molitrix, A. nobilis, L. rohita and C. mrigala), stocking density (7,410 fishes/ha), lime and ash treatment, fertilization and feeding were same for all the treatments. Water quality (water temperature, dissolved oxygen, transparency, pH and alkalinity) and fish growth parameters were monitored monthly. Mean values of water quality parameters were found within the suitable range for fish culture. Treatment T3 varied more significantly (P<0.05) than that of other treatments for the mean values of final weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, survival rate and yield of fish. Net benefit of carp polyculture was also found significantly (P<0.05) highest with treatment T3.

Published: January 2018

A variety of methods and gears are being employed across the globe including Bangladesh. This study describes the underwater fishing method in the Padma River- one of the three largest rivers in Bangladesh. Standardised efforts have been made for collecting data of interest between September 2016 and May 2017. Two types of underwater fishing, with or without using oxygen cylinders, were recorded. Mean duration of fishing per effort was higher (by 382%) when fishermen used oxygen cylinders. Mean water depth of fishing sites was also higher when oxygen cylinders were used. Three species of finfish (Rita rita, Sperata seenghala and Labeo calbasu) and one freshwater prawn species (Macrobrachium dayanum) have been identified in the catch. The catch was dominated by M. dayanum in both fishing types (27 ± 9.3 [with oxygen] and 15 ± 5.2 [without oxygen]). However, all the number of caught fish species varied significantly among different sampling months in both fishing methods (P < 0.001) except L. calbasu in fishing with oxygen cylinder. A number of health issues of the fishermen were also recorded.

Published: January 2018

O presente artigo analisa e discute as práticas educativas que ocorrem no trabalho de técnicas e enfermeiras de um hospital do Vale do Rio Pardo, com o objetivo de entender como estas trabalhadoras produzem saberes através de seu trabalho, a partir de um diálogo entre saberes formais e informais, o qual gera a necessidade de renormalizações por parte destas profissionais. O trabalho, nesta discussão, é visto pela teoria da ergologia. A pesquisa que resultou no estudo é de natureza qualitativa e os instrumentos de pesquisa utilizados foram entrevistas semiestruturadas, observações e anotações de campo. A análise gerou três principais categorias que nos auxiliam a compreender e explicar o processo de renormalização realizado pelas trabalhadoras, bem como as relações entre o trabalho prescrito e o trabalho real, sendo elas: a categoria do trabalho, educação formal e informal e a produção de saberes. Tais categorias possibilitaram perceber a distância entre o prescrito e o real, o uso de si feito pelas trabalhadoras, perceber seus saberes investidos e construídos a todo o momento, o que faz com que elas tenham consciência da necessidade de renormalizações.

Introduction: Aging is characterized by a series of changes and adaptations that occur in the body progressively and irreversibly over the years. One of the consequences of senescence is the deficit of maintaining balance, this fact is explained by the involvement of the visual, somatosensory and vestibular systems. Given this scenario, the use of tools that can minimize these declines is of paramount importance. In recent times a resource that has been investigated is virtual reality, this technique stands out for presenting cognitive, motor and cardiorespiratory demands beneficial to the elderly. Objective: The present study aimed to perform a narrative review on the influence of virtual reality on the rehabilitation of balance in healthy elderly. Methods: A bibliographic survey was carried out in Portuguese and English, in the electronic databases: Pubmed, Lilacs, Pedro, Scielo, Scopus and Cochrone. A temporal limiter was applied from 2010 to 2015. Results: We selected 84 articles, however only five fit the criteria of the research. Despite the different methodologies and sample used, all articles selected showed significant improvement in postural balance after virtual reality therapy. However, a lack of standardization of the research protocols can be observed, making it difficult to reach a precise conclusion regarding the real effects of this technique for the study population. Conclusion: Virtual reality therapy was shown to be effective for the rehabilitation of postural balance in healthy elderly individuals. However, such evidence needs to be further investigated in future studies.
Mercantilización de la educación y feminismo
Authors: Rodríguez-Martínez Carmen
Published: January 2018

El orden patriarcal es un sistema que permanece vigente en nuestras sociedades democráticas, no solo por imposición o por costumbre, sino también por interés e ideología. El neoliberalismo es su nuevo aliado porque conseguirá incluso revertir derechos conseguidos por el movimiento feminista convirtiéndolos en derechos de mercado. La mercantilización de la sociedad, junto al patriarcado, realizan una unión basada en la consideración de la educación, la cultura y de las propias mujeres como mercancías, productos intercambiables, justificada bajo una falsa libertad de elección individual, que oculta las diferencias de género, sociales y culturales. La liberalización de servicios, como los educativos en la búsqueda de una educación eficaz dirigida al empleo, tiene consecuencias para la formación de una ciudadanía domesticada, la precarización y control de una profesión docente muy feminizada y la sustitución de una formación igualitaria y plural para la convivencia por una educación competitiva y sexista basada en la ética del más fuerte.
¿Se enseña coeducación en la Universidad?

Published: January 2018

En este artículo nos interrogamos sobre como está contribuyendo la Universidad, responsable de la formación inicial del profesorado, a formar en coeducación. Para ello analizamos cómo se han aplicado en las universidades las medidas legales para el desarrollo de la igualdad. Indagamos en el aprendizaje producto del rápido acceso a la información cada vez mas expandido, horizontal y deslocalizado y sus posibles consecuencias.  Concluyendo en la confusión de ideas imperante en cuestiones que hunden sus raíces en el feminismo y la ausencia de una formación adecuada para que los futuros profesionales de los diversos niveles del sistema educativo se comprometan en la construcción de la escuela coeducativa y con los cambios en una educación que se reconoce como transmisora y legitimadora de desigualdades discriminatorias en función del sexo.

This study investigated the effect of short term aerobic exercise on lipid profile and myoglobin levels in apparently healthy students of College of Health Sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Nnewi Campus, Anambra State, Nigeria. A total of 60 apparently healthy young students aged between 18-40 years were randomly selected for the study. They were rested for a period of two weeks after which they were subjected to football exercise for 30 minutes (3 times) in a week for a period of 3 weeks. The demographic and anthropometric data of subjects were obtained using a well-structured questionnaire. Their blood pressures reading were obtained also. Thereafter, 5mls of baseline (day 0) and post-exercise (day 21) blood samples were collected from each subject before the commencement and at the end of the exercise on the last day of the training into a plain container for estimation of biochemical parameters (TG, TC, LDL, HDL, Myoglobin levels) respectively using standard methods. Data obtained were statistically analysed by unpaired student t-test and Pearson r correlation. The result showed that the mean serum levels of TG (1.41±0.60 vs 1.04±0.43) TC (5.22±0.98 vs 4.41± 0.90), LDL (3.92±0.99 vs 3.36±0.92) as well as myoglobin (16.04± 4.64 vs 13.38±5.21) and DBP (75.16±10.54 vs 68.59±8.57) were significantly decreased, whereas, there was a significant increase in the mean serum level of HDL (0.83± 0.30 vs 0.95±0.28) and SBP (114.69±9.21 vs 131.48±12.84) in subjects after exercise when compared to before exercise (p<0.05). However, the mean BMI of the subjects remained the same before and after exercise (p>0.05). Therefore, short term moderate intensity aerobic exercise could be of importance in prevention and management of cardiovascular disease

Published: January 2018

Aim of this study is to inform about the prevention of child abuse and neglect. This study was prepared as a compilation. Effective programmes are those that support parents and teach positive parenting skills. Some of the most effective responses for preventing child abuse and neglect focus on child-rearing, parent-child relationships and the family environment, including training in parenting. Nurses have a key role to play in identifying, treating and referring cases of abuse and neglect in reporting suspected cases of maltreatment to the appropriate authorities. Child abuse and neglect have a long lasting impact on the child, its family and the following generations. In order to protect children from this situation, it is necessary to develop preventive programs, to raise awareness of their families-teachers-community and to make legal arrangements. Additional research is needed to determine effective approaches for nurses to prevent child abuse or neglect.  Keywords: Child abuse; child neglect; prevention; nurse.

Negative mentors in nursing
Authors: Ozcan Cigdem Berk
Published: January 2018

Mentoring is defined as the relationship between an older and experienced mentor and a less experienced young mentee who is seeking help in developing a career. Although learning, growth and development are not seen in various professional organizations and personal relationships, mentoring relationship is a relationship that focuses on the individual's career development and maturation.2007 Eby noted; the mentoring relationship can be observed in interpersonal relations as well as differences in terms of quality. Mentoring is a positive interaction or positive results may not necessarily be observable. Negative mentoring interaction in nurses is increasing in direct proportion to burnout. Eby and Allen 2002 study; Negative mentoring experience may be associated with more negative consequences, although positive mentoring experience contributes to positive outcomes for mentors, including stress and exhaustion reduction. Negative counseling experience for mentee is associated with increased stress and reduced job satisfaction and increased work intensity. In Eby et al.'s 2008 study, we examined the relationship between emotional exhaustion dimension and negative counseling in a study that did not show a relationship between negative mentoring experience and mentored burnout status. Schaffer and Taylar 2010 have identified a destructive relationship with negative emotional exhaustion, increasing emotional exhaustion among interpersonal problems. Negative mentoring experiences are related to emotional exhaustion in nurses and they can conceive significant consequences. Negative mentoring experiences relate to emotional exhaustion in nurses and they can have important consequences. Sambunjak et al 2009 pointed out that the obstacles of health workers are not having strong mentoring skills, seeing mentees as potential competitors, personal obstacles, time constraints, lack of shift work and incentives. Allen et al. 1997, former mentoring experience of the mentor, social support of the manager, work stress or organizational factors and individual characteristics contribute.Negative mentoring should be studied to establish a successful mentoring relationship in nursing. Nurses' awareness of negative mentoring should be increased and negative mentoring problems should be minimized.  Keywords: Nursing; mentoring; negative mentoring.
Intraoperative variables associated with extubation time in patients undergoing open heart surgery
Authors: Ibrahimoglu Ozlem
Published: January 2018

Decreasing mechanical ventilation and early extubation in patients has many clinical benefits. Hence, an awareness of some variables, associated with extubation time can help nurses to plan convenient care aimed at making a safe and early extubation. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether any intraoperative variables had a significant effect on extubation time following open heart surgery. The research was conducted on 60 open heart surgery patients who met inclusion criteria between April 2014 and November 2014 in a cardiac and vasculer surgery clinic of university hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. The data were collected by using a â€œQuestionnaire Formâ€ which includes some intraoperative variables (type of surgery, the number of grafts, the duration of time of the cardiopulmonary bypass, aortic crossclamping, total operation time, and the extubation time). The data was analyzed by descriptive and analytical methods. Type of the surgery procedure was 40 (66%) patients were CABG, 10 (16,6%) were valvuler surgery, 6 (10%) were ASD/VSD primer repair and 4 (3,3%) were Bentall procedure. Extubation was achieved for 60 patients in a mean time of 8.33Â±1.99 h. 18,3% (11) of the patients were extubated in â‰¤6 h and 81,7% (49) of them were extubated in >6 h after surgery, classifying them into the early and delayed extubation groups, respectively. On statistical analysis, the duration of the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and aortic cross-clamping were found to have a significant effect on the extubation time.This study revealed that the duration of the cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamping might play a role in the extubation time. Therefore, it is recommended that nurses consider this in their assessment of extubation as a shorter cardiopulmonary bypass time and aortic cross-clamping time might lead to earlier extubation.  Keywords: Open heart surgery; extubation; intraoperative variables.
STAVOVI STUDENATA POSLOVNOG ENGLESKOG JEZIKA PREMA PRAGMATICI
Authors: Bikicki Nataša B.
Published: January 2018

Imajući u vidu da svest o značaju pragmatičke kompetencije može biti značajan motivacioni faktor, kao i da samoprocena znanja ima veliku ulogu u usmeravanju napora da se određena oblast savlada, primarni cilj ovog istraživanja bio je da se utvrdi kakvi su stavovi studenata prema značaju pragmatike, kao i kako ispitanici procenjuju svoje znanje iz ove oblasti. S tim u vezi analizirane su i percepcije studenata o nastavi pragmatike u prethodnom školovanju. Kvantitativno istraživanje obuhvatilo je 75 ispitanika. U kvalitativnom istraživanju učestvovala su četiri studenta. Analizom kvantitativnih i kvalitativnih podataka ustanovljeno je da većina ispitanika uviđa značaj pragmatike za uspešnu komunikaciju. Ispitanici, takođe, relativno tačno procenjuju svoje znanje, posebno kada su u pitanju telefonski i neformalni razgovori u poslovnim situacijama. Kvalitativna analiza pokazuje da ispitanici nisu motivisani da ulažu veliki trud pošto dostignu izvestan, nedovoljno visok, nivo pragmatičke kompetencije. Ovakav stav posledica je zanemarivanja podučavanja i ocenjivanja pragmatike u nastavi, i čini se, odsustva prilike za komunikaciju uživo sa stranim govornicima.

Published: January 2018

Ovaj rad ima za cilj da naglasi značaj upotrebe kvalitativnih metoda istraživanja u oblasti primenjene lingvistike. Kroz detaljan teorijski pregled literature koja potkrepljuje validnost upotrebe kvalitativnih podataka posebna pažnja se posvećuje intervjuu – instrumentu koji daje detaljan i nedvosmislen uvid u perspektivu ispitanika. Praksa je da se u oblasti primenjene lingvistike kvantitativne metode istraživanja često kombinuju sa kvalitativnim kako bi se dobila potpunija slika i kako bi se problem istraživanja sagledao iznutra, dajući mogućnost ispitaniku da kroz uobičajeno ponašanje u svom prirodnom okruženju iskaže suštinu problema. Kao primer prethodno spomenutih teorijskih postavki, ovaj rad daje detaljan prikaz upotrebe i značaja kvalitativnih metoda istraživanja u ispitivanju jezičke anksioznosti u razrednoj situaciji i anksioznosti pri komunikaciji među učenicima osnovne škole, pri čemu rezultati dobijeni upotrebom intervjua, kao kvalitativnog instrumenta, utiču na konačno tumačenje rezultata dobijenih kvantitativnim putem.

A cidade enquanto objeto do discurso enciclopédico
Authors: Nunes José Horta
Published: January 2018

Este artigo apresenta uma análise discursiva de definições da enciclopédia Wikipédia. O objetivo é compreender os processos de constituição de objetos discursivos de "cidade". O corpus é formado por uma série de palavras relacionadas à noção de cidade: cidade, município, metrópole, região metropolitana, cidade global, megacidade e megalópole. Nas análises são explicitadas a posição discursiva do enciclopedista, os discursos constituintes das definições, os processos de identificação dos sujeitos, os dispositivos linguístico-discursivos e as formações discursivas.
“Cara de empregada doméstica”: Discursos sobre os corpos de mulheres negras no Brasil
Authors: Fontana Mónica G. Zoppi , Cestari Mariana Jafet
Published: January 2018

O trabalho analisa a construção discursiva dos estereótipos de mulheres negras no Brasil, com foco na discriminação da figura da empregada doméstica. Com base na teoria da Análise de Discurso, filiada às pesquisas que têm como principal autor Michel Pêcheux, em diálogo com a produção teórica da socióloga feminista negra Lélia Gonzalez, o corpus da pesquisa é composto por textos veiculados nos meios de comunicação brasileiros em torno de duas polêmicas com repercussão significativa em 2013: a aprovação da PEC 66-2012, apelidada “ PEC das empregadas domésticas” , projeto que estendeu aos empregados domésticos direitos já garantidos aos demais trabalhadores formais no país, e o programa federal “Mais Médicos”, que tem como objetivo contratar médicos para atuarem em cidades com carência no serviço básico de saúde. O enunciado que provoca as análises foi a declaração nas redes sociais de uma jornalista sobre o programa “Mais Médicos”: "Me perdoem se for preconceito, mas essas médicas cubanas têm uma cara de empregada doméstica. Será que são médicas mesmo?". Perguntamo-nos sobre como são construídos historicamente os sentidos para a designação “cara de empregada doméstica”, percorrendo redes de memórias em que os corpos das mulheres negras são significados (e disputados em seus sentidos) nos discursos da escravidão e do colonialismo, da construção da identidade nacional no mito da democracia racial e dos movimentos sociais contemporâneos de mulheres negras. Considerando que a luta ideológica se dá também no terreno da linguagem, disputando os significantes e produzindo regimes de enunciabilidade e visibilidade, analisamos também os deslocamentos e equívocos que afetam essa designação nas condições atuais de produção e circulação dos discursos sobre “empregadas domésticas” no espaço público e político brasileiro.
Movimentos da contemporaneidade: a rua, as redes e seus desencontros
Authors: Dias Cristiane , Barbai Marcos Aurélio , Costa Greciely Cristina da
Published: January 2018

O objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre as formas de organização social contemporânea que acontecem, em nosso tempo, por meio da conectividade. Para isso, buscamos compreender como tem se produzido as relações sociais marcadas por um laço entre a rua e a rede, analisando as manifestações e protestos sociais no Brasil no ano 2013, o encontro de jovens, em shopping centers, denominado “rolezinhos” e a criminalização de alguns movimentos sociais, com a figura dos black blocs. Estes três movimentos de análise apontam para uma transformação das nossas condições de sociabilidade e política sustentadas por um laço entre o sujeito, a cidade e a rede.
Memória, narrativa urbana e favela: efeitos de sentido em um videoclipe
Authors: Ferreira Lucia M. A. , Rodrigues Andréa
Published: January 2018

No ciberespaço ecoam diariamente textos e imagens que constroem representações da cultura da periferia até bem pouco tempo quase invisíveis na mídia hegemônica. Neste trabalho, são investigadas manifestações dessa narratividade em um vídeo veiculado em um portal das comunidades do Rio de Janeiro. Do campo da linguagem e da memória são investigadas as redes de memória, as marcas da inscrição sócio-histórica do sujeito, assim como os movimentos que faz ao tomar o seu lugar no discurso.
Imagem e ilegibilidade da forma urbana de Campinas
Authors: Paula Luiz Tiago de , Marandola Junior Eduardo
Published: January 2018

Um dos traços das grandes cidades brasileiras é o espraiamento do tecido urbano, a gerar paisagens fragmentadas. A amplitude deste fenômeno é um dos fatores à produção de imagens frágeis e desarticuladas da cidade. Investigando Campinas-SP, o presente artigo objetiva detalhar elementos da forma urbana e analisar problemas de ilegibilidade da paisagem. Pretende-se balancear e refletir sobre qual o papel da forma urbana e como os processos e experiências coletivas podem proteger e difundir a importância da imagem da cidade à vida urbana.
Relacão sujeito indígena/cidade: Análises para a construção de um objeto de pesquisa
Authors: Borges Águeda Aparecida da Cruz
Published: January 2018

O artigo discute um objeto de pesquisa sobre processos de identificação, subjetivação de indígenas Xavante, em Barra do Garças-MT. Sob pressupostos da Análise de Discurso de base Materialista, o corpus heterogêneo mostra que o sujeito não índio significa, delimitando o seu espaço e o do indígena, marcando-se a diferença, o preconceito, a invisibilidade, a negação, a brasilidade, a cidadania... Contudo, na subjetivação se instaura a resistência, pois o Xavante interpela a cidade que o interpela.
Arquitetura das igrejas: gestos metafóricos e metonímicos que materializam desejos inconscientes
Authors: Maluf-Souza Olimpia , Fernandes Fernanda Surubi
Published: January 2018

O grupo de pesquisa que coordenamos – Vozes da Cidade, inscrito no CNPq desde 2008 – toma como lugar de escuta a cidade com os seus múltiplos territórios de significação. Dentre os aspectos que nos mobiliza na cidade destacamos a questão da arquitetura, enquanto um acontecimento discursivo que instala, institucionaliza, espacializa, estabelece relações de pertença para sujeitos e para sentidos. Assim, ao tomarmos esse material de análise, visamos compreender os efeitos de sentido que essas arquiteturas produzem sobre os sujeitos. Dito de outro modo, o nosso propósito é o de compreender os modos de identificação dos sujeitos diante da dualidade psicofísica imposta pelo discurso religioso, ou seja, os sentidos de transcendência e de imanência que os afetam e os determinam.

Multi-Faith Spaces Uncover Secular Premises Behind the Multi-Faith Paradigm
Authors: Bobrowicz Ryszard
Published: January 2018

Multi-Faith Spaces (MFS) are a relatively recent invention that quickly gained in significance. On the one hand, they offer a convenient solution for satisfying needs of people with diverse beliefs in the institutional context of hospitals, schools, airports, etc. On the other hand, as Andrew Crompton pointed out, they are politically significant because the multi-faith paradigm “is replacing Christianity as the face of public religion in Europe” (2012, p. 493). Due to their ideological entanglement, MFS are often used as the means to promote either a more privatised version of religion, or a certain denominational preference. Two distinct designs are used to achieve these means: negative in the case of the former, and positive in the latter. Neither is without problems, and neither adequately fulfils its primary purpose of serving diverse groups of believers. Both, however, seem to follow the biases and main problems of secularism. In this paper, I analyse recent developments of MFS to detail their main problems and answer the question, whether the MFS, and the underlying Multi-Faith Paradigm, can be classified as a continuation of secularism.
COZMO—A New Lightweight Stream Cipher
Authors: Bonnerji Rhea , Sarkar Simanta , Rarhi Krishnendu , Bhattacharya Abhishek
Published: January 2018

This paper deals with the merger of the two lightweight stream ciphers—A5/1 and Trivium. The idea is to make the key stream generation more secure and to remove the attacks of the individual algorithms. The bits generated by the Trivium cipher (output) will act as the input of the A5/1 cipher. The registers used in the A5/1 cipher will be filled by the output bits of the Trivium cipher. The three registers will then be connected to generate an output which will be our required key stream.
Responsive Polydiacetylene Vesicles for Biosensing Microorganisms
Authors: Lebègue Estelle , Farre Carole , Jose Catherine , Saulnier Joelle , Lagarde Florence , Chevalier Yves , Chaix Carole , Jaffrezic-Renault Nicole
Published: January 2018

Polydiacetylene (PDA) inserted in films or in vesicles have received increasing attention due to PDA property to undergo a blue-to-red colorimetric transition along with a change from non-fluorescent to fluorescent upon application of various stimuli. In this review paper, the principle of the detection of various microorganisms (bacteria: directly detected or detected through the emitted toxins or through their DNA, and viruses) and of antibacterial and antiviral peptides based on these responsive PDA vesicles are detailed. The obtained analytical performances, when vesicles are in suspension or immobilized, are given and compared to those of the responsive vesicles mainly based on the vesicle encapsulation method. Many future challenges are then discussed.
Social Sustainable Assessment Tool Development Approach

Published: January 2018

The social criteria of sustainable development have remained underexplored. Moreover, a large number of green building assessment tool and social sustainability documentations have been developed which, has had a direct impact on social criteria issues, but there seems to be a substantial gap in the study of social criteria in green building assessment tools. In examining the problem facing social sustainability, taking into consideration social sustainability in sustainable development reviews and green building assessment tool towards social aspects. This paper through analysis identified a centripetal conceptual framework composed of seven key components equity, education, participation & control, social cohesion, health & safety, accessibility & satisfaction, and cultural values. The interpretation of the social sustainability in green building assessment tool would impact building practitioners towards implementing social criteria in GBAT. The aim was to identify social categories as well as consider a starting point for the development of an effective social criteria assessment tool for green building.
