L’hospitalité se situe à la frontière entre l’appartenance et l’altérité. « Faites comme chez vous », dit la formule consacrée, mais n’allez surtout pas oublier que vous n’êtes pas chez vous ! C’est lorsque l’immigrant se sent vraiment français que, paradoxalement, il voudra afficher le plus ses différences et qu’il considérera normal de le faire. Cette tension, souvent amplifiée dans le cas de figure de l’immigration, a besoin du don pour se résoudre. L’hospitalité est un lien social. Peut-on se passer du don dans les liens sociaux ?

Published: June 2019

The presence of mycotoxins in 82 samples of Peruvian purple maize was determined by LC-MS/MS methods. Samples were collected from local commercial establishments in Peru from December 2015 to March 2016, and from March 2017 to April 2017. Aflatoxins (AF) (64.6%) and fumonisins (FB) (63.4%) were the most common mycotoxins, with average values of 2.1 (1-17) and 2,586 (125-27,490) μg/kg, respectively. Zearalenone (ZEA) was identified in a single sample at 24.4 μg/kg. Co-occurrence of AF and FB was confirmed in 45.1% of the samples (n=37), which presented significant (P<0.05) Spearman correlation (ρ=0.59) between these mycotoxins. Co-occurrence of AF, FB and ZEA was found in one sample and ZEA was found in one sample. Ochratoxin A, deoxynivalenol, nivalenol, fusarenone X, diacetoxyscirpenol, 3-acetyldeoxinivalenol, HT-2 toxin and T-2 toxin were not detected. Water activity (Aw) of these samples exceeded 0.73; there was no correlation between Aw and the levels of mycotoxins. This is the first study to evaluate the occurrence of mycotoxins in Peruvian purple maize, and it ascertained that this variety may pose a risk to public health. Therefore, there is a need to control this grain supply chain in order to determine the factors involved in the presence of these toxins, and to establish regulatory limits or guidelines for maximum tolerated levels.

Published: June 2019

The study examines how consumers, in a Facebook eWOM context, perceived source and message credibility by utilizing self-shared and system-generated cues. It investigates:(1) to what extent source and message credibility derived from these cues may lead to significant attitudinal responses and intentions to purchase; (2) and to what extent attitudinal responses are likely to vary with different levels and combinations of these credibility cues. Data was collected from 246 respondents who were exposed to Facebook eWOM scenarios. The structural model results confirm that the perceived source and message credibility derived from self-shared and system-generated cues are significant antecedents to purchase-related consideration for a brand. The results further confirm that these cues have an overall balancing effect: one compensates for the low level of the other leading to a significant persuasive response. The study evaluates traditional antecedents of WOM adoption, namely, perceived source and message credibility derived from unique interface-related features.
An Analysis of Implementation of Digitalisation in SMEs in India
Authors: Arora Amit Kumar , Rathi Priya
Published: June 2019

This article attempted to analyse the implementation of digitalisation in small and medium manufacturing enterprises in India. The objective of the study is to determine the impact of the size of the firm on the adoption of digitalisation, and motives for the adoption and challenges faced during the adoption process. Logistic regression, t-Test and descriptive statistics have been used to analyse the data. The study found that the size of the firm is an important factor for the adoption of digitalisation. An increase in sales, profitability, competitive capability and awareness of the brand were found as the most motivating factor for the adoption of digitalisation. Satisfaction with the current system, high cost, the lack of appropriate technology and the lack of top management support were the most important challenges faced by the organisations during the adoption process of digitalisation. The study recommended firms which have not adopted digitalisation to think in this regard as there are several benefits associated with the adoption of digitalisation.

Published: June 2019

Hydroforming process is used for obtaining different kinds of sheet metal components in an economic manner in terms of time and costs reduction and increase of the product quality. This paper deals with the application of this type of technology for manufacturing a rotational auto part from aluminium alloy. An experimental tool for hydroforming with rubber membrane was used. A set of dies with different geometries has been designed and constructed. Experiments have been conducted for investigation the ability of transferring features from the die onto the blank surface for different die geometries and pressures. The hydroformed part was measured using CMM. Based on the experimental data a numerical model was designed. FEM using Abaqus solver was used for investigated the part geometry and the effective stress distribution under various pressures conditions and dies geometries. The experimental and simulation results show the feasibility of applying the sheet hydroforming process in order to obtain a sound product.

The wheelchair has become today indispensable for people experiencing various locomotor disabilities. By investigating the current concepts of solutions to improve the ability to move physically, it was attempted to propose a typology to address the mobility problem. On a basic manual wheelchair, a system will be attached to ensure overcoming the obstacles and to guarantee maintaining the stability of the entire wheelchair. This adjustment will improve the user independence and offer the option of attaching a group of wheels to facilitate smooth movement. By using the Ashby’s graphs that compare the ratio between different properties and by calculating the material index, the optimum material will be determine for the developed system.Ansys software was used to study the structural behaviour under the given boundary conditions by determining the total deformation and equivalent Von Misses stress and then comparisons were made between the obtained results. Also, through topology optimization the most strained areas were discovered and measures were proposed to remedy them.

Authors: Gavriluță Ana
Published: June 2019

The main aim of Lean Manufacturing concept is to produce more with less: space, stock, workforce and time. The companies that along the years implemented Lean Manufacturing, reached a spectacular development, mainly because with the same workforce and financial resources, succeeded to increase significantly their profit (some reached up to 300-400% increase). The strength of Lean concept is the calculation of value of product for the final client, considering each stage of manufacturing. Therefore, the main aim of this paper is to analyze and improve the manufacturing flow of a component, from the system entry point to its exit using Flow Mapping and Value Stream Mapping. After all the actions on improving the flow, the activities without added value decreased with 15.92% and the lead time with 15.61%

Published: June 2019

In general, networks in companies or between companies play a significant role for monetary as well as non-monetary enhancement through cooperation. The aim is a positive effect for reducing innovation cycles, reducing costs and establishing a well-balanced time to market strategy. Besides open networks, where every actor is known, the existence of hidden networks, internal as well as external, have a substantial impact on strategic and operational activities meaning either a contribution or threat for the actors outside the hidden network. With the new models introduced in this publication, actors in various environments are able to identify hidden networks in order to be able to push contributions or eliminate risks leading from profit cuts to illegal knowledge transfer.

This paper represents research on analysis techniques for the design of composite materials products made of fiber-reinforced, research on the use of devices with feedback loop for mechanical cutting technologies, which allow intelligent dynamic adjustment of the processing regimes, analysis of manufacturing technologies used as unconventional processes for the implementation of inclusion components, economic judgments on advantages, disadvantages of the techniques and methods used.
Robotic Simulation Technique for Validating a Working Process on Composite Components: A Case Study
Authors: Caterino Mario , Greco Alessandro , Laudante Elena
Published: June 2019

Automation plays a key role in the realisation of the Factory 4.0 and technological research, combined with the use of innovative materials, contributes to the improvement of products in terms of functional, technical and production quality. Within this context, the so-called Digital Twin allows to reproduce the real behaviour of a production system in a virtual environment, giving the possibility to numerically perform the desired analysis. Human-robot interaction (HRI) is increasing in those workplaces where the manual activity is not safe nor efficient in terms of performance (e.g. cycle time) and it is characterised by several levels of interaction (cooperation, collaboration and coexistence). The aim of this paper is to propose a numerical procedure that, based on the simulation, allows verifying the process feasibility, validating the interaction between human and robot and programming the logic controller to be implemented on the real robot. A case study about assembling of composite components of an aircraft fuselage panel is proposed. The use of the robot allows to speed up the processes of drilling and sealing, leaving to human less dangerous operations.
Methods and Special Functions Bessel and Kummer Applied in Composites Diffusion Modelling
Authors: Riza Ion , Opran Constantin Gheorghe
Published: June 2019

The oxygen diffusion is a natural phenomenon and a main factor during the atmospheric corrosion process. The phenomenon of oxygen diffusion takes place in the environment with different consequences: vital in medicine in relation with the oxygen diffusion in the blood, or negative in technical or industrial domains with catastrophic consequences due to corrosion. Diffusion modelling with applications for the analysis of the metal-composite interface, being subjected to corrosion in atmospheric environment for hybrid polymer structural composite products, is carried out with two remarkable equations: Fick’s second law or heat equation and the convective variant and the parabolic equation which introduces the diffusion coefficient in function of distance. In this paper we determine the solution of these equations using different mathematical methods. The state of oxygen concentration, modelled with partial derivatives, obtained theoretically, through oxides and metal layers, is experimentally validated in a practical case.
Finite Element Modelling of Thermal Behaviour of Solar Cells

Published: June 2019

Engineering Science Based on Modelling and Simulation (M & S) is defined as the discipline that provides the scientific and mathematical basis for simulation of engineering systems. These systems range from microelectronic devices to automobiles, aircraft, and even oilfield and city infrastructure. In a word, M & S combines knowledge and techniques in the fields of traditional engineering - electrical, mechanical, civil, chemical, aerospace, nuclear, biomedical and materials science - with the knowledge and techniques of fields such as computer science, mathematics and physics, and social sciences. One of the problems that arise during solar cell operation is that of heating them because of permanent solar radiation. Since the layers of which they are made are very small and thick it is almost impossible to experimentally determine the temperature in each layer. In this sense, the finite element method comes and provides a very good prediction and gives results impossible to obtain by other methods. This article models and then simulates the thermal composition of two types of solar cells, one of them having an additional layer of silicon carbide that aims to lower the temperature in the lower layer, where the electronic components stick to degradable materials under the influence of heat.
Chromatic Preferences for Industrially-Manufactured Products
Authors: Dumitrescu Andrei , Ulmeanu Mihaela Elena
Published: June 2019

Several researches were focused on identifying the chromatic preference in general and on detecting the differences between women and men regarding the colour choices. Usually, researches are carried-out in a theoretical framework, considering that the preferred colours are invariant to their support. The experiment presented in this paper studied the chromatic preference considering three cases: neutral case (colours per se), low-tech products (colours on mugs) and high-tech products (colours on Lytro cameras). Also, the research studied the chromatic preference in terms of types of colours (focal, light, dark and intermediate).
Sweet hydrothorax: a common presentation of a rare condition
Authors: Mohamad Alahmad Mohamad Alhoda , Kasmani Rahil
Published: June 2019

Sweet hydrothorax is a known, yet rare, complication of peritoneal dialysis. It can be life-threatening. This case is about a 70-year-old lady who presented with acute respiratory failure due to massive right-sided hydrothorax that developed insidiously over 3 months of starting peritoneal dialysis. Thoracentesis and technetium scan confirmed the diagnosis. Treatment was successful with hemodialysis.

Key messages

– Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) can be complicated by sweet hydrothorax.

– Symptoms onset after initiation of PD and symptoms resolve with its discontinuation suggest the diagnosis.

– High gradient glucose level between pleural fluid and plasma is a hallmark feature of sweet
hydrothorax.

– Patients with life-threatening symptoms can consider hemodialysis or surgical options.
Focal seizure as a manifestation of serotonin syndrome: case report
Authors: Almallouhi Eyad , Rahwan Mohamad , Dainton Helen , Bonilha Leonardo
Published: June 2019

Serotonin syndrome is a life-threatening condition. Seizure is one of the complications of serotonin syndrome that may delay diagnosis and complicate management. We report a patient who had a focal seizure with abnormal electroencephalogram in the setting of serotonin syndrome with no prior history of epilepsy or seizure-provoking factors (fever, electrolyte abnormalities, specific medication combinations, and specific medication overdosing). Recognition of seizure as a symptom of serotonin syndrome is important for early treatment and avoidance of long-term consequences. Treatment of serotonin syndrome is mostly supportive. However, a short course of antiepileptics may be needed if these patients develop seizures.
Strengths and challenges for transient Mid- to Late Holocene simulations with dynamical vegetation
Authors: Braconnot Pascale , Zhu Dan , Marti Olivier , Servonnat Jérôme
Published: June 2019

Abstract. We present the first simulation of the last 6000 years
with a version of the IPSL Earth system model that includes interactive
dynamical vegetation and carbon cycle. It is discussed in the light of a set
of Mid-Holocene and preindustrial simulations performed to set up the model
version and to initialize the dynamical vegetation. These sensitivity
experiments remind us that model quality or realism is not only a function
of model parameterizations and tunings but also of experimental setup. The
transient simulations shows that the long-term trends in temperature and
precipitation have a similar shape to the insolation forcing, except at the
Equator, at high latitudes, and south of 40∘ S. In these regions
cloud cover, sea ice, snow, or ocean heat content feedbacks lead to smaller
or opposite temperature responses. The long-term trend in tree line in the Northern Hemisphere is reproduced and starts earlier than the southward
shift in vegetation over the Sahel. Despite little change in forest cover over
Eurasia, a long-term change in forest composition is simulated, including
large centennial variability. The rapid increase in atmospheric CO2 in
the last centuries of the simulation enhances tree growth and
counteracts the long-term trends induced by Holocene insolation in the
Northern Hemisphere and amplifies it in the Southern Hemisphere. We also
highlight some limits in the evaluation of such a simulation resulting from
model climate–vegetation biases, the difficulty of fully assessing the result
for preindustrial or modern conditions that are affected by land use, and
the possibility of multi-vegetation states under modern conditions.
Replicability of the EC-Earth3 Earth System Model under a change in computing environment
Authors: Massonnet François , Ménégoz Martin , Acosta Mario , Yepes-Arbós Xavier , Exarchou Eleftheria , Doblas-Reyes Francisco J.
Published: June 2019

Abstract. Most Earth System Models (ESMs) are running under different high-performance computing (HPC) environments. This has several advantages, from allowing different groups to work with the same tool in parallel to leveraging the burden of ensemble climate simulations but also offering alternative solutions in case of shutdown (expected or not) of any of the environments. However, for obvious scientific reasons, it is critical to ensure that ESMs provide identical results under changes in computing environment. While strict bit-for-bit reproducibility is not always guaranteed with ESMs, it is desirable that results obtained under one computing environment are at least statistically indistinguishable from those obtained under another environment, which we term a replicability condition following the metrology nomenclature. Here, we develop a protocol to assess the replicability of the EC-Earth ESM. Using two versions of EC-Earth, we present one case of non-replicability and one case of replicability. The non-replicable case occurs with the older version of the model and likely finds its origin in the treatment of river runoffs along Antarctic coasts. By contrast, the more recent version of the model provides replicable results. The methodology presented here has been adopted as a standard test by the EC-Earth consortium (27 institutions in Europe) to evaluate the replicability of any new model version across platforms, including for CMIP6 experiments. To a larger extent, it can be used to assess whether other ESMs can safely be ported from one HPC environment to another for studying climate-related questions. Our results and experience with this work suggest that the default assumption should be that ESMs are not replicable under changes in the HPC environment, until proven otherwise.
3-D crustal density model of the Sea of Marmara
Authors: Gholamrezaie Ershad , Scheck-Wenderoth Magdalena , Bott Judith , Heidbach Oliver , Strecker Manfred R.
Published: June 2019

Abstract. The Sea of Marmara, in northwestern Turkey, is a transition zone where the
dextral North Anatolian Fault zone (NAFZ) propagates westward from the
Anatolian Plate to the Aegean Sea Plate. The area is of interest in the context
of seismic hazard of Istanbul, a metropolitan area with about 15 million
inhabitants. Geophysical observations indicate that the crust is
heterogeneous beneath the Marmara basin, but a detailed characterization of
the crustal heterogeneities is still missing. To assess if and how crustal heterogeneities are related to the NAFZ segmentation below the Sea of Marmara,
we develop new crustal-scale 3-D density models which integrate geological
and seismological data and that are additionally constrained by 3-D gravity
modeling. For the latter, we use two different gravity datasets including
global satellite data and local marine gravity observation. Considering the
two different datasets and the general non-uniqueness in potential field
modeling, we suggest three possible “end-member” solutions that are all
consistent with the observed gravity field and illustrate the spectrum of
possible solutions. These models indicate that the observed gravitational
anomalies originate from significant density heterogeneities within the
crust. Two layers of sediments, one syn-kinematic and one pre-kinematic with
respect to the Sea of Marmara formation are underlain by a heterogeneous
crystalline crust. A felsic upper crystalline crust (average density of 2720 kg m−3) and an intermediate to mafic lower crystalline crust (average
density of 2890 kg m−3) appear to be cross-cut by two large, dome-shaped
mafic high-density bodies (density of 2890 to 3150 kg m−3) of
considerable thickness above a rather uniform lithospheric mantle (3300 kg m−3). The spatial correlation between two major bends of the main Marmara fault and the location of the high-density bodies suggests that the
distribution of lithological heterogeneities within the crust controls the
rheological behavior along the NAFZ and, consequently, maybe influences
fault segmentation and thus the seismic hazard assessment in the
region.
Constraining the geotherm beneath the British Isles from Bayesian inversion of Curie depth: integrated modelling of magnetic, geothermal, and seismic data
Authors: Mather Ben , Fullea Javier
Published: June 2019

Abstract. Curie depth offers a valuable constraint on the thermal structure of the lithosphere, based on its interpretation as the depth to 580 ∘C, but current methods underestimate the range of uncertainty.
We formulate the estimation of Curie depth within a Bayesian framework to quantify its uncertainty across the British Isles. Uncertainty increases exponentially with Curie depth but this can be moderated by increasing the size of the spatial window taken from the magnetic anomaly. The choice of window size needed to resolve the magnetic thickness is often ambiguous but, based on our chosen spectral method, we determine that significant gains in precision can be obtained with window sizes 15–30 times larger than the deepest magnetic source.
Our Curie depth map of the British Isles includes a combination of window sizes: smaller windows are used where the magnetic base is shallow to resolve small-scale features, and larger window sizes are used where the magnetic base is deep in order to improve precision. On average, the Curie depth increases from Laurentian crust (22.2±5.3 km) to Avalonian crust (31.2±9.2 km). The temperature distribution in the crust, and associated uncertainty, was simulated from the ensemble of Curie depth realizations assigned to a lower thermal boundary condition of a crustal model (sedimentary thickness, Moho depth, heat production, thermal conductivity), constructed from various geophysical and geochemical datasets.
The uncertainty in the simulated heat flow field substantially increases from ±10 mW m−2 for shallow Curie depths at ∼15 km to ±80 mW m−2 for Curie depths >40 km.
Surface heat flow observations are concordant with the simulated heat flow field except in regions that contain igneous bodies. Heat flow data within large batholiths in the British Isles exceed the simulated heat flow by ∼25 mW m−2 as a result of their high rates of heat production (4–6 µW m−3). Conversely, heat refraction around thermally resistive mafic volcanics and thick sedimentary layers induce a negative heat flow misfit of a similar magnitude. A northward thinning of the lithosphere is supported by shallower Curie depths on the northern side of the Iapetus Suture, which separates Laurentian and Avalonian terranes. Cenozoic volcanism in Northern Britain and Ireland has previously been attributed to a lateral branch of the proto-Icelandic mantle plume. Our results show that high surface heat flow (>90 mW m−2) and shallow Curie depth (∼15 km) occur within the same region, which supports the hypothesis that lithospheric thinning occurred due to the influence of a mantle plume. The fact that the uncertainty is only ±3–8 km in this region demonstrates that Curie depths are more reliable in hotter regions of the crust where the magnetic base is shallow.
Scaling of instability timescales of Antarctic outlet glaciers based on one-dimensional similitude analysis
Authors: Levermann Anders , Feldmann Johannes
Published: June 2019

Abstract. Recent observations and ice-dynamic modeling suggest that a marine
ice-sheet instability (MISI) might have been triggered in West
Antarctica. The corresponding outlet glaciers, Pine Island Glacier
(PIG) and Thwaites Glacier (TG), showed significant retreat during
at least the last 2 decades. While other regions in Antarctica
have the topographic predisposition for the same kind of
instability, it is so far unclear how fast these instabilities would
unfold if they were initiated. Here we employ the concept of
similitude to estimate the characteristic timescales of several
potentially MISI-prone outlet glaciers around the Antarctic
coast. Our results suggest that TG and PIG have the fastest response
time of all investigated outlets, with TG responding about 1.25 to 2
times as fast as PIG, while other outlets around Antarctica would be
up to 10 times slower if destabilized. These results have to be
viewed in light of the strong assumptions made in their
derivation. These include the absence of ice-shelf buttressing, the
one-dimensionality of the approach and the uncertainty of the
available data. We argue however that the current topographic
situation and the physical conditions of the MISI-prone outlet
glaciers carry the information of their respective timescale and
that this information can be partially extracted through a
similitude analysis.

Somatiniai simptomai, kurių priežasties neįmanoma paaiškinti jokia organine patologija atliekant diagnostinius tyrimus, yra vienas pagrindinių somatoforminių sutrikimų požymių. Nors somatinių simptomų paplitimas pirminėje sveikatos priežiūros srityje siekia iki 49 %, somatoforminiai sutrikimai retai diagnozuojami klinikinėje praktikoje ir diagnostiniais kriterijais persidengia su funkciniais sutrikimais. Šiame straipsnyje aptariamas klinikinis atvejis, kuriame atsiskleidžia sudėtinga ir užsitęsusi somatoforminių sutrikimų eiga, sukėlusi sunkias pasekmes pacientei. Besikartojančios įvairių specialistų konsultacijos ir tyrimai, gydytojų nesusitarimas ir kelių skirtingų diagnozių nustatymas lemia pacientės nepasitikėjimą paskirtu gydymu ir nesuteikiama tinkama pagalba. Tai sukėlė ne tik suprastėjusią pacientės gyvenimo kokybę, bet ir sunkų piktnaudžiavimą gliukokortikoidais, Kušingo sindromo išsivystymą ir antrinių lėtinių ligų atsiradimą. Taip pat pristatoma nauja pasiūlyta diagnostinė kategorija, kuri galėtų sujungti somatoforminius sutrikimus ir funkcinius somatinius sindromus. Tikimasi, jog tai užtikrins efektyvesnį somatoforminių sutrikimų eigos valdymą ir gydymą.

Daugumos gėlo vandens procedūrų pabaigoje patikimo poveikio SpO2 nebuvo. Po 10 min. ŠSD mažėjo iki 22 k./min., o po 20 min. – iki 18 k./min. (20 g/l); 40 g/l procedūros visos procedūros metu mažino ŠSD 8-16 k./min.; stabiliausiai procedūros viduryje ŠSD mažėjo 1117 k./min., o pabaigoje – 9-15 k./min. skiriant 60 g/l vandens procedūras. Gėlo vandens procedūrų metu gautas mažiausias (4-10 k./min. po 10 min.) ŠSD pokytis, kuris išliko tik 30% atvejų. Po kurso 40 ir 60 g/l vonios sumažino pulsą 5-6 k./min., kuris išliko 3 mėnesius. Po procedūrų kurso hemoglobino kiekis nekito, o eritrocitų skaičius padidėjo 40 g/l ir kontrolinėje grupėse. Po 60 g/l vonių nustatytas šlapimo pH padidėjimas.

Išvados. Daugiausia SpO2 mažina ir galimai didina deguonies atpalaidavimą audiniuose 20-40 g/l procedūros. Didžiausią trumpalaikį ŠSD mažėjimą suteikia 20 g/l, ilgalaikį – 40-60 g/l geoterminio vandens procedūros.
Critical Inquiry and the First Year: Reconceptualizing the Aims of Transitions Pedagogies
Authors: Stoller Aaron
Published: June 2019

Most first-year seminars exist to ensure that incoming students achieve what is commonly described as “academic success.” While definitions of this term vary widely, it most often means socializing students into an academic culture so that they will remain at the institution, achieve a strong GPA, and graduate on time. Most first-year seminars focus on skills that either help students prepare for performing academic tasks or help students engage in academic tasks. This article introduces an alternative framework that moves beyond academic task training and advances the idea that a first-year seminar should provide a foundation for the cultivation of critical intellectual agency. This article calls this framework critical inquiry. It defines critical inquiry as the interrogation of the disciplinary cultures and practices where knowledge is produced and the pedagogical and curricular architectures where it is reproduced. As a conceptual core for first-year seminars, critical inquiry unpacks the learning environment for students, making its hidden expectations, cultures, and structures of power and privilege visible to students. In doing so, it prepares them to critically engage with and harness the educational environment in the development of their own identities as intellectual agents.
Educating for a Common World: The University Goes to School
Authors: Dharamsi Karim
Published: June 2019

This article reflects on a college transitioning into a university in the Canadian context and resisting the temptation to re-create a model of higher education committed to specialization alone. Instead, the university commits all its degree students to a general education, thereby also committing itself to an ideal associated with a diverse, multiethnic, multicultural, rights-oriented public square. By referring to some popular figures and discussions in the media, the article suggests that a general education includes a promise of incompletion and renewal.

Are Graduates from the Arts-Related Academic Disciplines More Productive than those from the Science-Related Disciplines?
Authors: Kakooza Victoria , Wamala Robert , Wokadala James , Bwire Thomas
Published: June 2019

The experiences of employees from developed countries affirm that those from science/ technology-related disciplines benefit more through more technological inventions, than those from the Arts/ Humanities-related disciplines. The study utilizes statistical data of higher education graduates to determine a causal link between graduates from the two fore mentioned academic disciplines, and labour productivity in the developing country of Uganda. The data from 1985 to 2017 were analysed using the Vector Error Correction model, and revealed that arts graduates wereas productive as the science graduates. The findings also show the existence of long-term relationship between academic discipline and labour productivity, as well as a bi-causality between the variables under study.
Bestuurlijke aanpak van ondermijning: ervaringen in Nederland en het buitenland

Bestuurlijke aanpak van ondermijning: ervaringen in Nederland en het buitenland

Een bestuurlijke aanpak van ondermijnende criminaliteit, al dan niet als onderdeel van een integrale aanpak, is in Nederland inmiddels gemeengoed. Toch bestaan er nog volop misverstanden over, die ook aanleiding geven tot niet altijd terechte kritiek. Het handhavingsinstrumentarium waarop deze aanpak is gebaseerd vinden we in alle landen terug. De mate waarin het wordt toegepast om (zware en georganiseerde) misdaad te bestrijden verschilt echter, al naar gelang de aard, ernst en de historie van die problematiek. Een bestuurlijke aanpak is een manier om hogere drempels op te werpen voor criminele bedrijfsprocessen, maar is geen afzonderlijk alternatief voor het strafrecht.
De predispositie van de verdachte bij het stelen van een lokfiets: creëert de gelegenheid de dief?

De predispositie van de verdachte bij het stelen van een lokfiets: creëert de gelegenheid de dief?

Uit de bestendige rechtspraak van de Hoge Raad blijkt dat opsporingsambtenaren op basis van de algemene taakstellende bevoegdheden in beginsel bevoegd zijn tot het inzetten van bepaalde lokmiddelen, mits deze inzet binnen de grenzen van het Tallon-criterium blijft. De verdachte mag zodoende niet door het optreden van de opsporingsambtenaar worden gebracht tot andere handelingen dan die waarop zijn opzet reeds van tevoren was gericht. De vraag die naar aanleiding van de onderhavige uitspraak echter kan worden gesteld, is of de verdachte nog wel een voldoende toereikend beroep kan doen op de rechtsbeschermende waarde die het Tallon-criterium – in het kader van de inzet van niet-menselijke lokmiddelen – beoogt te bieden.
MICHAŁ TYSZKIEWICZ (1828–1897):
AN ILLUSTRIOUS COLLECTOR OF ANTIQUITIES
Authors: Kazimierczak Mariola
Published: June 2019

Michał Tyszkiewicz was an outstanding collector
of antiquities and a pioneer of Polish archaeological
excavations in Egypt conducted in late 1861 and early
1862, which yielded a generous donation of 194 Egyptian
antiquities to the Paris Louvre. Today Tyszkiewicz’s name
features engraved on the Rotunda of Apollo among the
major Museum’s donors. Having settled in Rome for good
in 1865, Tyszkiewicz conducted archaeological excavations
there until 1870. He collected ancient intaglios, old coins,
ceramics, silverware, golden jewellery, and sculptures
in bronze and marble. His collection ranked among the
most valuable European ones created in the 2nd half of
the 19th century. Today, its elements are scattered among
over 30 major museums worldwide, e.g. London’s British
Museum, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, New
York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, or the Museum of Fine
Arts in Boston. The latest investigation of M. Tyszkiewicz’s
correspondence to the German scholar Wilhelm Froehner
demonstrated that Tyszkiewicz widely promoted the
development of archaeology and epigraphy; unique pieces
from his collections were presented at conferences at Rome’s
Academia dei Lincei or at the Académie des Inscriptions et
Belles-Lettres in Paris, and published by Italian, French,
Austrian, and German scholars. He was considered an
expert in glyptic, and today’s specialists, in recognition of his
merits, have called a certain group of ancient cylinder seals
the ‘Tyszkiewicz Seals’, an Egyptian statue in black basalt has
been named the ‘Tyszkiewicz Statue’, whereas an unknown
painter of Greek vases from the 5th century BC has been
referred to as the ‘Painter Tyszkiewicz’.
Creativity Through Lateral Thinking Techniques
Authors: Liu Yuanyuan ,   A. Dourou Publications
Published: June 2019

Creativity is a developing topic in philosophy in recent years, and it raises a series of challenging questions both in theory and practice for us. In this paper, I will explore creativity with the lateral thinking techniques which aim to solve problems in a creative and lateral way. I will examine the meaning of lateral thinking and its three kinds, the conceptual lateral thinking, the emotive lateral thinking, and the diagrammatic lateral thinking, trying to find out how the space of possible solutions is affected by lateral thinking, which separates the creative from the problem-solver.
The Prospect of 'Hope' in Kant's Philosophy
Authors: Chakraborty Sanjit ,   A. Dourou Publications
Published: June 2019

This paper discusses Kant’s prospect of ‘hope’ that entangles with interrelated epistemic terms like belief, faith, knowledge, etc. The first part of the paper illustrates the boundary of knowing in the light of a Platonic analysis to highlight the distinction between empiricism and rationalism. Kant’s notion of ‘transcendent metaphysical knowledge’, a path-breaking way to look at the metaphysical thought, can fit with the regulative principle that seems favourable to the experience-centric knowledge. The second part of the paper defines ‘hope’ as an interwoven part of belief, besides ‘hope’ as a component of ‘happiness’ can persuade the future behaviours of the individuals. Revisiting Kant’s three categorizations of hopes (eschatological hope, political hope, and hope for the kingdom of ends), the paper traces out Kant’s good will as a ‘hope’ and his conception of humanity.

Organising regions: spatial planning and territorial governance practices in two Swedish regions
Authors: Smas Lukas , Lidmo Johannes
Published: June 2019

In some European countries, sub-national regions are important geographical arenas for spatial planning. However, in Sweden, statutory regional planning is rather limited and the regional level is often described as having a weak position in the spatial planning system. In this article, we investigate territorial governance practices in two Swedish regions, with a focus on their interaction with the EU and the national level, and with the local level, as well as how these regions function as organisations and arenas for coordination of different policy fields. The study is based on semi-structured expert interviews and document analysis. The results show that spatial planning is practised both through statutory planning and soft planning approaches, and that these practices in different ways coordinate sectoral policies i.e. transport infrastructure and regional development. Both cases also illustrate difficulties not only of external coordination between different institutions and policy fields but also internally within organisations. It is also highlighted that spatial planning at the regional level focuses on coordinating actors and policy fields but that spatial planning is also an instrument to implement regional policies. In conclusion, it is argued that the organisation and territorial governance practices within a given institutional arrangement and the perception of spatial planning are crucial in determining how regions might function as multi-level coordination actors and policy arenas within spatial planning.
Planning in Luxembourg: innovation and tradition under one umbrella?
Authors: Hans Sebastian , Böhme Kai
Published: June 2019

For quite some while Luxembourg has seen an impressive socio-economic development, rendering spatial planning interesting. Although the spatial planning system in Luxembourg is relatively young, it is used to digest and to distribute the socio-economic growth and push for a more polycentric territorial structure. For this, policy makers have a range of instruments available. These include traditional but also many forward-thinking approaches, which give spatial planning in Luxembourg an innovative edge compared to other European countries. Among these forward-thinking approaches are e.g. national public participation processes, soft territorial cooperation or cross-border planning. Therefore, we argue in this article that supplementary to the traditional elements, spatial planning in Luxembourg has many innovative features, deserving more attention in the international planners’ community. Indeed, policy makers from all around Europe can learn and capitalise from the Luxembourgish experiences.
