›Smarte Diktatur‹ oder ›egalitäre Netzgemeinschaft‹?
Authors: Hennig Martin , Kelsch Jakob , Sobala Felix
Published: July 2019

Ausgehend von den aktuell die Medien dominierenden Gefährdungsdiskursen in Bezug auf Entwicklungen innerhalb digitalisierter Gesellschaften wird in der Einleitung zum Band der Frage nachgegangen, auf welche dahinter stehenden (medialen, ökonomischen, kulturellen) Prozesse diese Veränderung gegenüber den anfangs häufig noch utopischen Debatten zur digitalen Vernetzung verweist. Dabei werden Diskurse zur Digitalisierung historisiert und systematisiert, und es wird die Stellung von Privatheit als ein zentraler Wertehorizont in Digitalisierungsdiskursen erörtert. Ein Schwerpunkt des Kapitels liegt entsprechend auf der Interaktion zwischen Technologie- und Wertediskursen. Abschließend wird die Struktur des Bandes erläutert. In den Sektionen selbst führen kurze Darstellungen dann genauer in das jeweilige Themenfeld ein, und die einzelnen Beiträge werden vorgestellt.
Der Traum vom Totalen Kino
Authors: Janker Karin
Published: July 2019

Eines Tages wird man Film nicht mehr von der Realität unterscheiden können - diese Vorstellung gab es bereits, bevor das Kino erfunden war. Der Traum vom Totalen Kino entstammt der Literatur, die dem Film bereits detailliert den Weg in Richtung Virtual Reality wies, als die Bilder des Cinématographe noch stumme Schatten waren. Karin Jankers Analyse der bis heute wirkmächtigen Imagination einer Ununterscheidbarkeit zwischen physischer und virtueller Realität legt offen, aus welchen Mythen und Diskursen sich diese speist, aber auch wo ihre Ränder, Unschärfen und Aporien liegen. Welche Hoffnungen und Ängste begleiten die Entwicklung des Bewegtbildes? Welche Eigenschaften schreibt die Literatur dem aufkommenden Konkurrenzmedium zu? Und was erzählt die Literatur damit über sich selbst? Die hier versammelten Lektüren der Kino-Romane von Auguste de Villiers de L`Isle-Adam, Jules Verne, Luigi Pirandello, Salomo Friedlaender, Aldous Huxley und Adolfo Bioy Casares zeigen, dass der Traum vom Totalen Kino nicht bloße Denunziation des Films durch die Literatur ist, sondern auch ein Ausloten der jeweils eigenen medialen Möglichkeiten. Sie demonstrieren eindrücklich die Literarizität dieses Narrativs - und und machen nicht zuletzt Mediengeschichte zu einer Sache der Literaturwissenschaft.
Pfarrerskinder in der DDR
Authors: Prennig Thomas
Published: July 2019

Das historische Experiment einer grundlegenden Umverteilung von Bildungsprivilegien in der ehemaligen DDR hat eine Fülle bemerkenswerter Lebensläufe hervorgebracht, deren Aufarbeitung heute - 30 Jahre nach der Wiedervereinigung - fundierte Erkenntnisse über grundlegende Mechanismen sozialer Praxis verspricht. Thomas Prennig zeigt: Biographien von Pfarrerskindern stellen einen Idealtypus besonderer Güte dar: Der Widerspruch einer umfangreichen familiären Bildung und der kategorischen Verweigerung staatlicher Bildungsabschlüsse kreierte einen einzigartigen Habitus privilegierter Außenseiter.

The use of LEGO Mindstorms to create a model of the surgical robot arm for the education of medical students
Authors: Rudnik Michał , Walecki Piotr Krzysztof
Published: July 2019

The aim of the work is to assess the use of LEGO-based robotics in the education of medical students. Training on specialized robotic surgery simulators is available only to a small group of specialists. The LEGO Mindstorms was used to create a model of the surgical robot arm. The model is controlled by a specially prepared panel created in the LabVIEW. The functionality of the model of a surgical robot arm allows people who have not been using these robots to become familiar with the basics of their operation. Medical students using the arm will be able to observe structural problems: the stiffness of construction, or its utility, the range of movements and its limitations, motion and force control using different robotic manipulators. The use of a modular computer programming language and a modular building platform problem in LEGO Education contributes to the development of critical thinking and problem solving, and these skills are useful to physicians during their work.
Dynamics of female labor force participation and welfare with multiple social reference groups
Authors: Pintea Mihaela
Published: July 2019

I develop a model with status concerns to analyze how different economic factors affect female labor participation and welfare, as well as average household incomes and wages. Reductions in the price of domestic goods and increases in female wages have positive effects on female participation. Increases in male wages have different effects on female participation depending on whether they affect female wages or not. Events that lead to increases in female participation are usually associated with decreases in the welfare of stay-at-home wives but are not necessarily associated with increases in welfare of working wives. Allowing for part-time work can lead to an increase in overall female labor force participation, but some women that would have worked full-time end up working part-time. If female wages are endogenous, an increase in male wages leads to an increase in the female participation rate even if it is not associated with a decrease in the gender wage gap. The positive feedback of increased female participation on their wages can lead to hysteresis of dual equilibria of high and low female labor force participation and a discontinuous transition between these equilibria.
Bioenergetics and translational metabolism: implications for genetics, physiology and precision medicine
Authors: Hill Bradford G. , Shiva Sruti , Ballinger Scott , Zhang Jianhua , Darley-Usmar Victor M.
Published: July 2019

It is now becoming clear that human metabolism is extremely plastic and varies substantially between healthy individuals. Understanding the biochemistry that underlies this physiology will enable personalized clinical interventions related to metabolism. Mitochondrial quality control and the detailed mechanisms of mitochondrial energy generation are central to understanding susceptibility to pathologies associated with aging including cancer, cardiac and neurodegenerative diseases. A precision medicine approach is also needed to evaluate the impact of exercise or caloric restriction on health. In this review, we discuss how technical advances in assessing mitochondrial genetics, cellular bioenergetics and metabolomics offer new insights into developing metabolism-based clinical tests and metabolotherapies. We discuss informatics approaches, which can define the bioenergetic-metabolite interactome and how this can help define healthy energetics. We propose that a personalized medicine approach that integrates metabolism and bioenergetics with physiologic parameters is central for understanding the pathophysiology of diseases with a metabolic etiology. New approaches that measure energetics and metabolomics from cells isolated from human blood or tissues can be of diagnostic and prognostic value to precision medicine. This is particularly significant with the development of new metabolotherapies, such as mitochondrial transplantation, which could help treat complex metabolic diseases.
Enhancing Power Distribution Feeders Restoration with a Probabilistic Crew Dispatch Method: Case Studies using Historical Data from a Brazilian Power Distribution Company

Published: July 2019

This paper proposes a methodology to repair crews dispatch during distribution feeders restoration immediately after remotely controlled actions have been taken. Our method determines the sectors patrol sequence using the expected number of faults for each sector considering a previously calculated fault probability. Next, a road graph mapping of the buses is obtained by associating each bus with its real-world position. The crews’ route inside each sector is determined by the application of the nearest neighbor algorithm on that mapping. The case studies analyzed 24 real faults available in the database of a Brazilian power distribution company, and, a comparison was made between the time spent to locate the failures by simulating both the proposed methodology and the usual greedy strategy. The average time spent in localizing all the failures was from 9.49 % to 41.81 % shorter than in the usual method. Moreover, the speed and distance of repair crews showed weak influence in the crew dispatch methodology efficiency. Such results indicate an enhancement of the power distribution QoS indicators by using the proposed methodology to deal with faults.

Authors: Nguyen Thanh Hai , Thi Huyen Nguyen , Van Khanh Nguyen , Kim Thu Dang , Thanh Tung Bui
Published: July 2019

The present study investigated the phytochemicals and antidiabetic effect of the aqueous extract of the fruit of Punica granatum Linn. in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. The fruit of P. granatum was extracted with water. The phytochemicals of the water extract were investigated by the liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method. The water extract of P. granatum at doses of 150 and 300 mg/kg body weight (bw) was administered to mice for 21 days, and blood glucose level, triglyceride, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) enzyme were estimated. Analyzed phytochemicals showed the fruit of P. granatum Linn has a high amount of phenolic and flavonoid compounds, which provide beneficial effect for this plant. The oral administration of the fruit extract of P. granatum at doses of 150 and 300 mg/kg bw for 21 days significantly reduced blood glucose level, triglycerides, serum cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, AST and ALT enzyme. Our results suggested that the fruit extract of P. granatum has strong antidiabetic effect in STZ-induced diabetic mice. The fruit of this plant might be a potential source of drug for treatment of diabetes.
Development of Resilient Modulus Prediction Model for Granular and Noncohesive Soils of New Mexico
Authors: Hasan Md. Mehedi , Hasan Md. Amanul , Tarefder Rafiqul A.
Published: July 2019

The resilient modulus (MR) of unbound materials, i.e., base and subgrade, is an essential property for the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). The MR of the unbound materials is highly dependent upon several factors such as physical properties of the materials, soil type, stress state, and moisture content. The MR values are usually determined by conducting repeated load triaxial compression tests in the laboratory. However, because of the complexity, difficulty, huge time, and effort associated with it, development of an MR prediction model based on soil physical properties has increasingly become an imperative. In this study, a model is developed to estimate the MR of base and noncohesive (A-2-4) subgrade soils that are commonly available in the state of New Mexico from a set of materials’ physical properties. First, subgrade and granular materials have been collected from different construction sites, and a laboratory MR test is conducted in accordance with the test standard AASHTO T-307, Standard Method of Test for Determining the Resilient Modulus of Soils and Aggregate Materials. The pertinent material constants (k1, k2, and k3) in the constitutive model have been evaluated from the laboratory test data using regression analysis. Materials coefficients are correlated to the selected physical properties. A new set of laboratory test results for another pavement site is used to verify the model. It is observed that the prediction model predicts MR values that agree well with the laboratory results. Therefore, the proposed model can be applied to the base and noncohesive subgrade soils for implementation in MEPDG.
Influence of Shear Rate on the Shear Strength of Discontinuities with Different Joint Roughness Coefficients
Authors: Wang Zhen , Gu Linlin , Shen Mingrong , Zhang Feng , Zhang Guokai , Deng Shuxin
Published: July 2019

Loading rate dependency is one of the significant time-dependent behaviors of rock and rock discontinuities. To investigate the shear rate– dependent behavior of the shear strength of discontinuities with different joint roughness coefficients (JRCs), direct shear tests with various shear rates were conducted on samples with artificial joint surfaces based on Barton’s standard profile lines. A new test method, called shear test with alternate shear rates, was introduced to verify the direct shear results, and a JRC weakening model was established to explain the mechanism of shear rate dependency of discontinuities and the influence of the JRC on shear rate dependency. Results revealed that the shear strength increased with an increase in shear rate and the shear rate dependency of discontinuities was significantly influenced by surface morphology. Hence, the greater the JRC is, the stronger the shear rate dependency will be. Results also demonstrated that the direct shear test is the process of the JRC resistance weakening and frictional resistance strengthening, and the shear rate dependency was caused by the time-dependent behavior of the crack growth.
Identification and Sizing of Neighboring Pits Using Three-Axis Magnetic Flux Leakage Technique
Authors: Azizzadeh T. , Safizadeh M. S.
Published: July 2019

Neighboring corrosion pits are one of the most frequently found defects in gas pipelines. Because of the interaction with each other, these defects accelerate the corrosion growth rates in the wall of the pipelines. Hence, it is meaningful to discriminate multiple neighboring pits from single isolated pits by analyzing their characteristics. This article presents the results of a study on the use of a three-axis magnetic flux leakage (MFL) technique for the identification and sizing of neighboring corrosion pits. Various patterns of two neighboring pits are considered by modifying the separation distances between them. Finite element modeling as well as experimental measurements is used to investigate the spatial distributions of the three MFL components (axial, radial, and circumferential) generated by the neighboring pits. The results indicate that the axial as well as the radial MFL components of the neighboring pits merge to one signature the closer the two defects are, and thus, no width sizing of the individual pits is possible anymore. In contrast, both pits are still discernible in the circumferential MFL signatures. The described method can help to identify neighboring corrosion pits and thus improve the sizing accuracy of MFL measurements.
Observations of Machining Performance during Turning AA6351-B4C Composite
Authors: Samy G. S. , Kumaran S. Thirumalai , Uthayakumar M.
Published: July 2019

This study investigates the machining characteristics of stir-cast AA6351-boron carbide composite under dry condition. The influences of input parameters on output responses, such as temperature rise, cutting force, tool wear, and surface roughness, are investigated. The monolayer titanium nitride–coated solid carbide insert tool CNMG120412 (80° diamond shaped with a nose radius of 1.2 mm) has been used to perform the experiments. The temperature and cutting forces are measured by using a FLIR infrared thermal image camera and piezoelectric dynamometer. The reduction in temperature is noted at a low spindle speed (Vc), which is due to the discontinuous chip formation. The increase in feed rate (f) has reduced the coefficient of friction (μ) as a result of a decrease in the friction angle. The lowest value of μ, 0.5567, is obtained at a low Vc and a high f. The increase in temperature at a high Vc reduces the specific cutting pressure and results in a low thrust force. The tool wear is examined by using a scanning electron microscope to analyze the wear mechanisms. At a high Vc, an increase in temperature reduces mechanical load and protects the tool from abrasion wear; it results in good surface finish. A low surface roughness value of 1.08 μm is achieved at a high Vc and ensures the surface quality.
“A Girdle of Thought Thrown around the World”
Authors: Lloyd Justine
Published: July 2019

This article outlines impulses toward internationalism in women's programming during the twentieth century at two public service broadcasters: the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in Canada and the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) in Australia. These case studies show common patterns as well as key differences in the establishment of an international frame for the modern domestic sphere. Research conducted in paper and audio recording archives relating to nonfiction programming for women demonstrates pervasive tensions between women's international versus national solidarities. The article argues that these contradictions must be highlighted—rather than papered over in a simplistic understanding of such programming as reflecting a binary domestic ideology of private versus public, home versus world—to fully understand media history and cultural memory from a gendered perspective.
Cap-independent mRNA translation is upregulated in long-lived endocrine mutant mice
Authors: Ozkurede Ulas , Kala Rishabh , Johnson Cameron , Shen Ziqian , Miller Richard A , Garcia Gonzalo G
Published: July 2019

It has been hypothesized that transcriptional changes associated with lower mTORC1 activity in mice with reduced levels of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor 1 are responsible for the longer healthy lifespan of these mutant mice. Cell lines and tissues from these mice show alterations in the levels of many proteins that cannot be explained by corresponding changes in mRNAs. Such post-transcriptional modulation may be the result of preferential mRNA translation by the cap-independent translation of mRNA bearing the N6-methyl-adenosine (m6A) modification. The long-lived endocrine mutants – Snell dwarf, growth hormone receptor deletion and pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A knockout – all show increases in the N6-adenosine-methyltransferases (METTL3/14) that catalyze 6-methylation of adenosine (m6A) in the 5′ UTR region of select mRNAs. In addition, these mice have elevated levels of YTH domain-containing protein 1 (YTHDF1), which recognizes m6A and promotes translation by a cap-independent mechanism. Consistently, multiple proteins that can be translated by the cap-independent mechanism are found to increase in these mice, including DNA repair and mitochondrial stress response proteins, without changes in corresponding mRNA levels. Lastly, a drug that augments cap-independent translation by inhibition of cap-dependent pathways (4EGI-1) was found to elevate levels of the same set of proteins and able to render cells resistant to several forms of in vitro stress. Augmented translation by cap-independent pathways facilitated by m6A modifications may contribute to the stress resistance and increased healthy longevity of mice with diminished GH and IGF-1 signals.
Analysis of a Chlamydia epidemic model with pulse vaccination strategy in a random environment
Authors: Samantaa Guruprasad , Bera Shyam Pada Pada
Published: July 2019

In this paper, we have considered a dynamical model of Chlamydia disease with varying total population size, bilinear incidence rate, and pulse vaccination strategy in a random environment. It has been shown that the Chlamydia epidemic model has global positive solutions and, under some conditions, it admits a unique positive periodic disease-free solution, which is globally exponentially stable in mean square. We have defined two positive numbers R1 and R2 (< R1). It is proved that the susceptible population will be persistent in the mean and the disease will be going to extinct if R1 < 1 and the susceptible population as well as the disease will be weakly persistent in the mean if R2 > 1. Our analytical findings are explained through numerical simulation, which show the reliability of our model from the epidemiological point of view.

Published: July 2019

With the wide applications of the communication networks, the topic of information networks security is getting more and more attention from governments and individuals. This paper is devoted to investigating a malware propagation model with carrier compartment and delay to describe the process of malware propagation in mobile wireless sensor networks. Based on matrix theory for characteristic values, the local stability criterion of equilibrium points is established. Applying the linear approximation method of nonlinear systems, we study the existence of Hopf bifurcation at the equilibrium points. At the same time, we identify some sensitive parameters in the process of malware propagation. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the theoretical results.
Neutronic analysis of a fuel element with variations in fuel enrichment and burnable poison
Authors: De Faria R , Martins Felipe , Velasquez Carlos , Fortini Angela , Pereira Claubia
Published: July 2019

The goal was to evaluate the neutronic behavior during the fuel burnup changing the amount of burnable poison and fuel enrichment. For these analyses, it was used a 17 x 17 PWR fuel element, simulated using the 238 groups library cross-section collapsed from ENDF/BVII.0 and TRITON module of SCALE 6.0 code system. The results confirmed the effective action of the burnable poison in the criticality control, especially at Beginning Of Cycle (BOC) and in the burnup kinetics, because at the end of the fuel cycle there was a minimal residual amount of neutron absorbers (155Gd and 157Gd), as expected. At the end of the cycle, the fuel element was still critical in all simulated situations, indicating the possibility of extending the fuel burn.

Authors: Oliveira Edyene , Castro Victor , Velasquez Carlos , Pereira Claubia
Published: July 2019

An artificial neural network methodology is being developed in order to find an optimum spatial distribution of the fuel assemblies in a nuclear reactor core during reloading. The main bounding parameter of the modeling was the neutron multiplication factor, keff. The characteristics of the network are defined by the nuclear parameters: cycle, burnup, enrichment, fuel type, and average power peak of each element. As for the artificial neural network, the ANN Feedforward Multi_Layer_Perceptron with various layers and neurons were constructed. Three algorithms were used and tested: LM (Levenberg-Marquardt), SCG (Scaled Conjugate Gradient) and BayR (Bayesian Regularization). The artificial neural network has implemented using MATLAB 2015a version. As preliminary results, the spatial distribution of the fuel assemblies in the core using a neural network was slightly better than the standard core.

Authors: Nascimento Abraão D. C. , Silva Kássio F. , Cordeiro Gauss M. , Alizadeh Morad , Yousof Haitham M. , Hamedani G. G.
Published: July 2019

We study some mathematical properties of a new generator of continuous distributions called the Odd Nadarajah-Haghighi (ONH) family. In particular, three special models in this family are investigated, namely the ONH gamma, beta and Weibull distributions. The family density function is given as a linear combination of exponentiated densities. Further, we propose a bivariate extension and various characterization results of the new family. We determine the maximum likelihood estimates of ONH parameters for complete and censored data. We provide a simulation study to verify the precision of these estimates. We illustrate the performance of the new family by means of a real data set.

The Modern Contradictions of the Modern “Economy” System
Authors: Alpidovskaya Marina , Sokolov Dmitry
Published: July 2019

This article is devoted to the disclosure of the main contradictions of the capitalist socio-economic system at the present crisis stage of its development and the specifics of their implementation in modern Russia. The basis of the formation and development of the capitalist socio-economic system is the confrontation of internal opposites. As a result, these contradictions determined the trajectory of the movement of capitalist society and determined the inevitability of the transient nature of its fate. Modern capitalism is also characterized by a number of the deepest contradictions of antagonistic and non-antagonistic character inherent to it 100 years ago. They interpenetrate and condition each other, act as a manifestation and embodiment of the main contradiction – a long overdue conflict between the nature of production and appropriation / distribution. And today the situation makes it possible to use the existing advantages of the global monopolization process. These contradictions are unfolding with a new crushing force, which is confirmed by the entire course of historical events. The concentration of all economic activity has reached such a level that, from V.I. Lenin’s point of view, capitalism approached the socialization of production and entered the conflict with the capital itself. As a result, the proposal to subordinate the global monopoly to public interests, that is their socialization, seems quite logical. Moreover, there are no problems with considering all resources on the global scale using modern advances in science and technology.
The Comparative Analysis of the Territory Financial Potential Assessment Methods
Authors: Nekhaychuk Dmytriy , Zhuchik Alina
Published: July 2019

The article provides the analysis of scientific works on the issues of the territory financial potential assessment methods. According to this analysis there are several fundamentally different approaches to determining the territory financial potential. It is proved that the financial potential of the region is becoming increasingly important today, because in the near future it will determine the state of the economy of the region, the state, as well as occupy one of the main places among state priorities, will affect the financial regional and state policy. The importance of assessing the territory financial potential is also due to the fact that knowing its real state, it becomes possible to effectively and efficiently use all kinds of resources necessary for the region development. The main methodological approaches of assessing the financial potential of the territory are considered: the statistical approach, the comparative approach, evaluation with the use of
macroeconomic indicators, the analysis with the use of special indicators, the regression analysis. The main essence of each approach is revealed. The author concludes that despite their diversity, every approach is characterized by certain shortcomings. The bulk of scientists’ efforts is focused on calculating the so-called used financial potential, that is, the potential that can actually be implemented in the territory in the near future. At the same time, a significant share of financial potential is an unrealized potential, which requires specific and additional methods of evaluation. Another important drawback is that scientists ignore the existence of the shadow sector, which actually distorts the reality. That is, the methodology for assessing the territory financial potential, despite diverse tools, is not perfect today and requires rethinking in order to approach the economic realities and improve the quality of results.
The Analysis of the Financial Security of Russia: Current Trends, Challenges, Threats
Authors: Buyanova Marina , Rasskazov Yevgeniy
Published: July 2019

Financial security is one of the main factors of competitive and sustainable development of any country in the world. In addition, financial security is an integral part of national security of any state and, from the practical point of view, it represents a special condition of the national financial system described by the system of special criteria. Current confrontation on the global stage sets the particularly acute task of improving national financial security and the security of the entire economy in the face of modern threats manifesting in sanctions. In order to understand which sectors of the economy are the most vulnerable, it is necessary to compute special indicators that can characterize the state of the national financial security. The system of criteria for assessing the national financial security developed within the framework of the methodology proposed by Russian scientists- economists V.K. Senchagov, G.N. Maltsev, I.G. Maltseva is the most complete and widely used in Russia and includes the in-depth system of 40 indicators grouped into 5 systemic blocks. This system of indicators served as a methodological basis of the authors’ calculations in the article. In addition, this study analyzed the main problems of the Russian economy identified after the calculations, as well as compared them with those identified in the official forecasts and development strategies.
Public Education for the Common Good
Authors: Ranson Stewart
Published: July 2019

The UK's neoliberal polity is undermining the very public institutions it requires to resolve its most pressing collective predicaments, in education especially, with its essential role of enabling society to learn the virtues and practices of cooperative enquiry necessary for remaking
the common good. The author begins by understanding the nature of public goods and services before discussing the damage wrought by neoliberal governance. The remaking of public education, he argues, presupposes three projects: first, inaugurating public, democratic ownership of all
education; second, reimagining public service comprehensive education; and third, reconstituting democratic public participation for active citizenship in education and community governance.
The Challenge of Developing the 'New Public School': learning from extended schools
Authors: Martin Doug
Published: July 2019

English school policy since 1988 has increasingly been defined in neoliberal terms, with an emphasis on markets, competition, and education in its narrowest sense (ENS). However, for a brief interlude from 2005 to 2010, school leaders were challenged by a new Extended Schools (ES) policy
to look outside their classrooms and beyond their school gates and to consider education from a wider perspective. This article, based on research in four communities, examines how schools responded to this policy change, through developing ES partnerships, and engaging with community-based
organisations and the community itself. The learning from this research undertaken across diverse schools and communities covering this unique period points to what a 'new public school' might be and the conditions it might need to successfully evolve.
The Necessity of Reforming Britain's Private Schools
Authors: Green Francis , Kynaston David
Published: July 2019

The existence of extremely expensive private schools – about one in 10 of all our schools – presents a major problem for Britain's education system. A new public education system could not coexist with the current, unreformed private school system; therefore, reform is a
necessary condition for this project. Private schools are, on the whole, good schools, owing their successes largely to a massive resource input, some three times that of the state sector. But this distortion of our educational resources is enormously unjust, as well as inefficient and supportive
of a democratic deficit in British society. Some solutions are noted; while not dogmatic about which should be adopted, the authors explain why their preferred solution is a partial integration of the sectors, in particular what they term a 'Fair Access Scheme'.

This paper is the first of a set of linked publications on the PISA Joint Industry Research Project, which was concerned with the development of improved design methods for monopile foundations in offshore wind applications. PISA involved large-scale pile tests in overconsolidated glacial till at Cowden, north-east England, and in dense, normally consolidated marine sand at Dunkirk, northern France. The paper presents the characterisation of the two sites, which was crucial to the design of the field experiments and advanced numerical modelling of the pile–soil interactions. The studies described, which had to be completed at an early stage of the PISA project, added new laboratory and field campaigns to historic investigations at both sites. They enabled an accurate description of soil behaviour from small strains to ultimate states to be derived, allowing analyses to be undertaken that captured both the serviceability and limit state behaviour of the test monopiles.

assistência à saúde (IRAS). Adotou-se regressão de Poisson com intervalo de confiança de 95%. Resultados:Dos 169 pacientes analisados,
145 (85,8%) foram submetidos a cateterizações vesicais. A prevalência de ITU-RC foi de 16,6%. Os fatores associados foram tempo de
internação ≥15 dias (Razão de prevalência: 4,6) e uso do cateter vesical ≥10 dias (Razão de prevalência: 7,4). Conclusão:O tempo de inter-nação e permanência do CVD está diretamente relacionado à ocorrência de ITU-RC, direcionando para o compromisso dos profissionais
da saúde no monitoramento da permanência, avaliação contínua e indicação estrita do uso do CVD.

Justificativa e Objetivos:O câncer de mama é o de maior incidência entre as mulheres no país, sendo a cirurgia a principal medida de

tratamento, associada ou não a terapias adjuvantes. O objetivo deste trabalho é verificar o número e identificar o perfil epidemiológico de

mulheres diagnosticadas com câncer de mama que realizaram mastectomia radical modificada em um hospital de referência, localizado

no Vale do Taquari, no Rio Grande do Sul. Métodos:Estudo epidemiológico retrospectivo, de abordagem quantitativa, no qual foram

averiguados 329 prontuários. As variáveis analisadas foram: idade, município de encaminhamento, escolaridade e raça. Resultados: Foram

realizadas 150 cirurgias de mastectomia radical entre janeiro de 2008 a junho de 2016, identificando-se mulheres de maioria branca, com

baixa escolaridade, na faixa etária superior a 50 anos, provenientes de 29 municípios da região estudada. Conclusão:O perfil epidemio-lógico da população atendida na referida região segue as características locorregionais e nacionais. Dada a alta incidência de câncer de

mama em brasileiras, o número acentuado de mulheres com baixa escolaridade acometidas e, o impacto da doença na qualidade de vida,

sugere-se a realização de estudos que verifiquem a evolução pós-operatória, reabilitação clínica, física, psicológica e social após cirurgia

de mastectomia radical.

Published: July 2019

Justificativa e Objetivos:A sepse é definida como a presença de disfunção orgânica ameaçadora à vida, secundária à resposta desregu-lada do organismo à infecção, e tem como critérios para diagnóstico clínico a variação de, pelo menos, dois pontos no escore Sequential
Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA). O objetivo foi realizar um levantamento das taxas de morbimortalidade e custo por internação dos
pacientes com sepse no Brasil, Rio Grande do Sul (RS) e Porto Alegre. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo realizado com base em dados secun-dários obtidos nas bases do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS), em três esferas administrativas, dos últimos
dez anos. Resultados: Evidenciou-se um aumento no percentual de mortalidade por sepse nas três esferas. No Brasil, a taxa de mortalidade
por sepse em 2006 foi 1,10%, e em 2015 1,46%; no RS, em 2006, foi 0,90%, e em 2015 foi 1,14%; e em Porto Alegre, no ano de 2006, foi 0,72%,
e em 2015 foi 0,88%. O percentual de internações também apresentou crescimento. Os custos relacionados às internações são elevados,
atingindo em 2016 o valor médio de R$ 3.669,75, R$ 3.247,69 e R $ 4.281,41 no Brasil, RS e Porto Alegre, respectivamente. Conclusão:Com as
altas taxas de morbimortalidade, se faz necessário um investimento na prevenção e diagnóstico precoce da sepse, voltado para a segurança do
paciente, com investimentos em capacitações para a equipe multiprofissional e a implementação de protocolos assistenciais.

Copyright Online Mini-Series: A Flipped Learning Approach to Disseminating Copyright Knowledge to Subject Liaison Librarians
Authors: Benson Sara Rachel
Published: July 2019

In the digital age copyright literacy is in high demand. The Association of College and Research Libraries included copyright literacy as a core component of information literacy for higher education in its Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, which explicitly describes an “information has value” component, including copyright knowledge. However, even at an institution fortunate enough to have a copyright librarian, that one person cannot attend every single information-literacy session on campus that is presented in affiliation with the library. Thus the copyright librarian must form bridges to the rest of campus, and one of the best ways to do so is through collaboration with subject liaison librarians. So far this article has not revealed any groundbreaking revelations—librarians collaborate frequently to make the best use of the talents and resources available to them. What is more novel is the suggestion made herein for copyright librarians to adopt the flipped learning model; in particular, to facilitate liaison sessions.
Cultivating Melanized Fungi from Biological Soil Crust and Rock Surfaces v1
Authors: Kurbessoian Tania
Published: July 2019

As the interest to understand melanized fungi becomes more of a focus due to pathological diseases, there needs to be a clearer method to isolate and identify the fungi from their surroundings. Culture independent analysis has helped bloom scientist understandings of the vast quantities of microorganisms around us, but culturing and identifying has always been a struggle. We must look into utilizing different microbiological techniques to help better understand, isolate, and to apply Koch’s postulates to prove they are the cause of said disease. Growing and isolating fungi has always been an issue especially if the fungi in question is a slow growing fungi, where fast growing fungi or other microorganisms can grow and surpass the field of view and compete with the slow growing fungi. A series of dilutions, antibiotics and oligotrophic media can all counteract the issues to provide you with a clear window to help isolate your fungi in question. There is still a need to verify that living strains of organisms are actually present in the environment. One approach is to use “culture dependent” method to obtain strains of organisms present in the biocrust. This is achieved by plating biocrust soils onto microbiological media in order to further isolate life strains. Serial dilution is used to isolate the fungi from the soil. This method involves making a soil slurry by diluting the soil sample with increasing higher proportion of water or media in order to get a low starting concentration of starting spores or material growing on the Petri dishes.
