Authors: CEYLAN Zeynep , BULKAN Serol , TOZAN Hakan
Published: March 2019

Research on integration of supply chain and scheduling is relatively recent, and number of studies on this topic is increasing. This study provides a comprehensive literature survey about Integrated Supply Chain Scheduling (ISCS) models to help identify deficiencies in this area. For this purpose, it is thought that this study will contribute in terms of guiding researchers working in this field. In this study, existing literature on ISCS problems are reviewed and summarized by introducing the new classification scheme. The studies were categorized by considering the features such as the number of customers (single or multiple), product lifespan (limited or unlimited), order sizes (equal or general), vehicle characteristics (limited/sufficient and homogeneous/heterogeneous), machine configurations and number of objective function (single or multi objective). In addition, properties of mathematical models applied for problems and solution approaches are also discussed.
Designing and Testing Apps to Support Patients With Cancer: Looking to Behavioral Science to Lead the Way
Authors: Hamel Lauren M , Thompson Hayley S , Albrecht Terrance L , Harper Felicity WK
Published: March 2019

Background

Behavioral science has a long and strong tradition of rigorous experimental and applied methodologies, which have produced several influential and far-reaching theoretical frameworks and have guided countless inquiries of human behavior in various contexts. In cancer care, behavioral scientists have established a firm foundation of research focused on understanding the experience of cancer and using that understanding to design and implement theory- and evidenced-based interventions to help patients cope with the cancer experience. Given the rich behavioral research base in oncology, behavioral scientists are ideally positioned to lead the integration of evidence-based science on behavior and behavior change into the development of smartphone apps supporting patients with cancer. Smartphone apps are being disseminated to patients with cancer with claims of being able to help them negotiate areas of vulnerability in their cancer experience. However, the vast majority of these apps are developed without the rigor and expertise of behavioral scientists.

Objective

In this article, we have illustrated the importance of behavioral science leading the development and evaluation of apps to support patients with cancer by providing an illustrative scientific process that our team of behavioral scientists, patient stakeholders, medical oncologists, and software developers used to empirically design and evaluate 2 patient-focused apps: the Discussion of Cost App (DISCO App) and MyPatientPal.

Methods

Using a focused literature review and a descriptive roadmap of our team’s process for designing and evaluating patient-focused behavioral apps for patients with cancer, we have demonstrated how behavioral scientists are integral to the development of empirically sound apps to help support patients with cancer. Specifically, we have illustrated the process by which our multidisciplinary team combined the established user-centered design principles and behavioral science theory and scientific rigor to design and evaluate 2 patient-focused apps.

Results

On the basis of initial acceptability and feasibility testing among patients and providers, our team has demonstrated how critical behavioral science is for designing and evaluating app-based interventions for patients with cancer.

Conclusions

Behavioral science can and should be coupled with user-centered design principles to provide theoretical guidance and the rigor of the scientific method, thereby adding the much-needed and critical evidence for these types of app-based interventions for patients with cancer.

Published: March 2019

Background

Patient education has taken center stage in successfully shared decision making between patients and health care providers. However, little is known about how patients with bipolar disorder typically obtain information on their illness and the treatment options available to them.

Objective

This study aimed to obtain the perspectives of patients with bipolar disorder and their family members on the preferred and most effectively used information channels on bipolar disorder and the available treatment options.

Methods

We conducted nine focus groups in Montana, New Mexico, and California, in which we surveyed 84 individuals including patients with bipolar disorder and family members of patients with bipolar disorder. The participants were recruited using National Alliance on Mental Illness mailing lists and websites. Written verbatim responses to semistructured questionnaires were analyzed using summative content analysis based on grounded theory. Two annotators coded and analyzed the data on the sentence or phrase level to create themes. Relationships between demographics and information channel were also examined using the Chi-square and Fisher exact tests.

Results

The focus group participants mentioned a broad range of information channels that were successfully used in the past and could be recommended for future information dissemination. The majority of participants used providers (74%) and internet-based resources (75%) as their main information sources. There was no association between internet use and basic demographics such as age or geographical region of the focus groups. Patients considered time constraints and the fast pace in which an overwhelming amount of information is often presented by the provider as major barriers to successful provider-patient interactions. If Web-based channels were used, the participants perceived information obtained through Web-based channels as more helpful than information received in the provider’s office (P<.05).

Conclusions

Web-based resources are increasingly used by patients with bipolar disorder and their family members to educate themselves about the disease and its treatment. Although provider-patient interactions are frequently perceived to be burdened with time constraints, Web-based information sources are considered reliable and helpful. Future research should explore how high-quality websites could be used to empower patients and improve provider-patient interactions with the goal of enhancing shared decision making between patients and providers.
The Reach of the “Don’t Fry Day” Twitter Campaign: Content Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Nguyen Jennifer , Gilbert Lauren , Priede Lianne , Heckman Carolyn
Published: March 2019

BACKGROUND

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, disproportionately affecting young women. Since many young adults use Twitter, it may be an effective channel to communicate skin cancer prevention information.

OBJECTIVE

The study aimed to assess the reach of the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention (NCSCP)’s 2018 Don’t Fry Day Twitter campaign, categorize the types of individuals or tweeters who engaged in the campaign, and identify themes of the tweets.

METHODS

Descriptive statistics were used, and a content analysis of Twitter activity during the 2018 Don’t Fry Day campaign was conducted. The NCSCP tweeted about Don’t Fry Day and skin cancer prevention for 14 days in May 2018. Twitter contributors were categorized into groups. The number of impressions (potential views) and retweets were recorded. Content analysis was used to describe the text of the tweets.

RESULTS

A total of 1881 Twitter accounts, largely health professionals, used the Don’t Fry Day hashtag, generating over 45 million impressions. These accounts were grouped into nine categories (eg, news or media and public figures). The qualitative content analysis revealed informative, minimally informative, and self-interest campaign promotion themes. Informative tweets involved individuals and organizations who would mention and give further context and information about the #DontFryDay campaign. Subthemes of the informative theme were sun safety, contextual, and epidemiologic information. Minimally informative tweets used the hashtag (#DontFryDay) and other types of hashtags but did not give any further context or original material in the tweets. Self-interest campaign promotion involved businesses, firms, and medical practices that would utilize and promote the campaign to boost their own ventures.

CONCLUSIONS

These analyses demonstrate the large potential reach of social media public health campaigns. However, limitations of such campaigns were also identified, for example, the relatively homogeneous groups actively engaged in the campaign. This study contributes to the understanding of the types of accounts and messages engaged in social media campaigns utilizing a hashtag, providing insight into the messages and participants that are effective and those that are not to achieve campaign goals. Further research on the potential impact of social media on health behaviors and outcomes is necessary to ensure wide-reaching implications.
The Potential of Blockchain Technology for Health Information Exchange: Experimental Study From Patients’ Perspectives (Preprint)
Authors: Esmaeilzadeh Pouyan , Mirzaei Tala
Published: March 2019

BACKGROUND

Nowadays, a number of mechanisms and tools are being used by health care organizations and physicians to electronically exchange the personal health information of patients. The main objectives of different methods of health information exchange (HIE) are to reduce health care costs, minimize medical errors, and improve the coordination of interorganizational information exchange across health care entities. The main challenges associated with the common HIE systems are privacy concerns, security risks, low visibility of system transparency, and lack of patient control. Blockchain technology is likely to disrupt the current information exchange models utilized in the health care industry.

OBJECTIVE

Little is known about patients’ perceptions and attitudes toward the implementation of blockchain-enabled HIE networks, and it is still not clear if patients (as one of the main HIE stakeholders) are likely to opt in to the applications of this technology in HIE initiatives. Thus, this study aimed at exploring the core value of blockchain technology in the health care industry from health care consumers’ views.

METHODS

To recognize the potential applications of blockchain technology in health care practices, we designed 16 information exchange scenarios for controlled Web-based experiments. Overall, 2013 respondents participated in 16 Web-based experiments. Each experiment described an information exchange condition characterized by 4 exchange mechanisms (ie, direct, lookup, patient-centered, and blockchain), 2 types of health information (ie, sensitive vs nonsensitive), and 2 types of privacy policy (weak vs strong).

RESULTS

The findings show that there are significant differences in patients’ perceptions of various exchange mechanisms with regard to patient privacy concern, trust in competency and integrity, opt-in intention, and willingness to share information. Interestingly, participants hold a favorable attitude toward the implementation of blockchain-based exchange mechanisms for privacy protection, coordination, and information exchange purposes. This study proposed the potentials and limitations of a blockchain-based attempt in the HIE context.

CONCLUSIONS

The results of this research should be of interest to both academics and practitioners. The findings propose potential limitations of a blockchain-based HIE that should be addressed by health care organizations to exchange personal health information in a secure and private manner. This study can contribute to the research in the blockchain area and enrich the literature on the use of blockchain in HIE efforts. Practitioners can also identify how to leverage the benefit of blockchain to promote HIE initiatives nationwide.
Usability of the Turkish Translation of the Dutch Talking Touch Screen Questionnaire for Physical Therapy Patients With a Turkish Background: Qualitative Study (Preprint)
Authors: Welbie Marlies , Wittink Harriet , Bozkurt Sahin , Coban Tugba , Devillé Walter LJM
Published: March 2019

BACKGROUND

The Turkish translation of the Dutch Talking Touch Screen Questionnaire (TTSQ) has been developed to help physical therapy patients with a Turkish background in the Netherlands to autonomously elucidate their health problems and impairments and set treatment goals, regardless of their level of health literacy.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to evaluate the usability of the Turkish TTSQ for physical therapy patients with a Turkish background with diverse levels of health literacy and experience in using mobile technology.

METHODS

The qualitative Three-Step Test-Interview method was carried out to gain insight into the usability of the Turkish TTSQ. A total of 10 physical therapy patients participated. The interview data were analyzed using a thematic content analysis approach aimed at determining the accuracy and completeness with which participants completed the questionnaire (effectiveness), the time it took participants to complete the questionnaire (efficiency), and the extent to which the participants were satisfied with the ease of use of the questionnaire (satisfaction). The problems encountered by the participants in this study were given a severity rating, which was used to provide a rough estimate of the need for additional usability improvements.

RESULTS

No participant in this study was able to complete the questionnaire without encountering at least one usability problem. A total of 17 different kinds of problems were found. On the basis of their severity score, 3 problems that should be addressed during future development of the tool were “Not using the navigation function of the photo gallery in Question 4 causing the participant to not see all presented response items;” “Touching the text underneath a photo in Question 4 to select an activity instead of touching the photo itself, causing the activity not to be selected;” and “Pushing too hard or tapping too softly on the touch screen causing the touch screen to not respond.” The data on efficiency within this study were not valid and are, therefore, not reported in this study. No participant was completely satisfied or dissatisfied with the overall ease of use of the Turkish TTSQ. Two participants with no prior experience of using tablet computers felt that, regardless of what kinds of improvement might be made, it would just be too difficult for them to learn to work with the device.

CONCLUSIONS

As with the Dutch TTSQ, the Turkish TTSQ needs improvement before it can be released. The results of this study confirm the conclusion of the Dutch TTSQ study that participants with low levels of education and little experience in using mobile technology are less able to operate the TTSQ effectively. Using a Dutch speaking interviewer and Turkish interpreter has had a negative effect on data collection in this study.

Published: March 2019

Background: Salmonella typhi infection decreases of the immune system and influences the adaptive antibodies among malnourished children. The gonad of Diadema setosum (D. setosum) is one of food sources from marine biota that contains high-quality nutrients and potentially can be used as a dietary supplement for typhoid fever condition.Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of gonad D. setosum extract on the production of antibody IgM and IgG in an animal model.Method: This experimental study was used BALB/c mice before and after infected Salmonella typhi through intraperitoneally at 0.2 mL x the unit 103 CFU/mL. The level of IgM and IgG production was measured by Enzyme Linked Immune Sorbent Assay (ELISA). Experimental animals were divided into 2 groups. The control group was only fed with standard diets, while at the intervention group received the extract of D. setosum gonad in two doses (100 and 200 mg/kg body weight).Results: Production of IgM antibodies in the control group significantly increased twofold (p=0.001) whereas the intervention group received the extracts of D. setosum gonad (200 mg/kg body weight) could suppress the increase in IgM antibody production and indicate the highest increase of IgG antibody significantly (p<0.05) at day 7.Conclusion: The gonad of Diadema setosum extracts (200 mg/kg body weight) could suppress the increase in IgM antibody productions and indicate the highest increase of IgG antibody titers in mice infected with Salmonella typhi. The role of anti-microbial substances of the gonad of Diadema setosum, is potential to be utilized as dietary supplement to increase body immune system among patients infected by Salmonella typhi.

In this chapter we explore how the geographical position of the marginal ice zone in the Barents Sea became the center of a hot political debate. In 2015, new data sets on the retreat of sea ice were introduced by the Norwegian government, indicating how petroleum drilling could take place without conflicting with the vulnerable ice ecosystem. In the public debate that followed, four different definitions of the ice edge zone were introduced, each providing different geographical positions of the ice edge. These multiple definitions directly corresponded to various political views on the exploration of petroleum in the Barents Sea. The analysis shows how ethical principles connected to scientific rigor and independence may be put on trial when conflicts of interests escalate in policy debates. This chapter demonstrates the mismatch between ethical ideals and practice in knowledge-based management, and discusses what their democratic implications might be.

Introduction. Currently, lung transplantation is an approved method for treating a wide range of end-stage lung diseases refractory to medical or surgical treatments when patient's life expectancy without transplantation makes no more than two years.

The aim was to evaluate the efficacy of continuous nutritional support via percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy in potential recipients of lung transplantation with a Body Mass Index under 16 kg/m2.

Material and methods. The study was based on the analysis of 93 potential recipients with various lung diseases; 27 of them with diagnosed cystic fibrosis. The enteral nutrition results of the patients with cystic fibrosis whose Body Mass Index (BMI) was under 16 kg/m2 were assessed by the increment in BMI and compared between those (15) fed via gastrosomy and those (22) fed per os.

Results. As a result of enteral nutrition via the gastrostomy in the daytime and at night, the majority of recipients (73.3% of cases) had the Body Mass Index (BMI) corrected from 0.1 to 4.91 kg/m2 during the first year, the mean BMI increment made 1.87 ± 0.4 kg/m2. After the BMI correction, 11 of the 15 potential recipients were included in the waiting list, and 6 of them (40%) underwent lung transplantation. In the comparison group, the BMI increment was 0.9 ± 0.3 kg/m2, also having reached a significant difference compared to the baseline (p = 0.04). However, the BMI increment in the main group was significantly higher than in the comparison group (p = 0.02).

Conclusion. A statistically significant increase in BMI in a group of patients with cystic fibrosis and BMI under 16 kg/m2, has been demonstrated after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, which allows extending the criteria for the inclusion in the waiting list for lung transplantation.
Operating Member of Shock Machines Based on the Non-axial Slider-crank Mechanism with a Disjointed Slider
Authors: Karimbaev T. T. , Ukuev B. T.
Published: March 2019

To perform various technological operations to process and destruct materials, power pulses of high amplitude and very short duration are necessary. Special devices, which can be hydraulic, pneumatic, electromagnetic or mechanical pulse generators, generate such shock pulses. Mechanical generators of power pulses can be based on the various mechanisms, many of which are among the mechanisms of a variable structure.

The Machinery Researching Institute of National Academy of Sciences of Kyrgyz Republic has offered to use the crank-slider mechanism of a variable structure with a disjointed slider in the shock machines. The operation aspect of this mechanism is that at the beginning of the working course a lead (drive dog) and a hammer block, which form the slider, make a joint movement, are separated when the lead movement slows down, and then upon the shock of the hammer block to the tool and the mechanism being under idle operation these two parts again make a joint movement.

The shortcoming of this mechanism is that its coefficient of the changing average speed of the slider is equal to unit. But as to the shock machine, it is desirable for this coefficient to be higher than one. In this case the average speed of the slider at the working course will be higher than when idling, and the hammer block can have the higher speed. Also it should be noted that when idling there are more favorable conditions to fix the hammer block, which has made a rebound after the shock to the tool, with a lead at great values of the coefficient of the changing average speed of the slider.

The coefficient of the changing average speed of the slider can be increased through the crank support shift in direction, perpendicular to the trajectories of the slider movement, by converting an axial mechanism into the non-axial one. Based on the specified values of frequency and energy of blow and also conditions for ensuring the working capacity and compactness of the shock machine, the paper makes synthesis of key parameters of the operating member of the non-axial slider-crank mechanism with the disjointed slider.

Authors: Priya Aayushi , Singh Kajol , Tiwari Rajeev
Published: March 2019

In the Internet age, malware (such as viruses, trojans, ransomware, and bots) has posed serious andevolving security threats to Internet users. To protect legitimate users from these threats, anti-malware softwareproducts from different companies, including Comodo, Kaspersky, Kingsoft, and Symantec, provide the majordefense against malware. Unfortunately, driven by the economic benefits, the number of new malware sampleshas explosively increased: anti-malware vendors are now confronted with millions of potential malware samplesper year. In order to keep on combating the increase in malware samples, there is an urgent need to developintelligent methods for effective and efficient malware detection from the real and large daily sample collection.One of the most common approaches in literature is using machine learning techniques, to automatically learnmodels and patterns behind such complexity, and to develop technologies to keep pace with malware evolution.This survey aims at providing an overview on the way machine learning has been used so far in the context ofmalware analysis in Windows environments. This paper gives an survey on the features related to malware filesor documents and what machine learning techniques they employ (i.e., what algorithm is used to process the inputand produce the output). Different issues and challenges are also discussed.

Published: March 2019

O presente estudo possuiu como objetivo interrogar e compreender as representações sobre a(s) lesbianidade(s) produzidas por estudantes de uma escola agrícola da região sul do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. A pesquisa, orientada pelos Estudos Culturais Lesbofeministas, produziu seus dados a partir de “rodas de conversas” complementadas por anotações no “diário de campo”. Podemos apontar, partindo das análises dos dados, que as estudantes possuem visões e entendimentos críticos e conceituais a respeito da(s) lesbianidade(s). A partir da temática foi possível compreender que a “lesbianidade(s)” é atravessada pela invisibilidade histórico-escolar e quando visível, ancora-se em representações mediadas somente pela violência.
Criminalización del aborto en la ciudad de Córdoba (1887-1922): un estudio de caso
Authors: Ortiz Yael Sol
Published: March 2019

Mi objetivo es analizar las características y representaciones de las prácticas abortivas en la ciudad de Córdoba a principio del siglo XX, relacionándolas con una incipiente y progresiva criminalización del aborto. En ese sentido, considero que la cuestión del aborto se encuentra inextricablemente relacionada con un proceso a nivel nacional denominado maternalización de las mujeres, que construye a la mujer unívocamente como madre. Atenderé a un recorte temporal anclado en la cultura legal estatal, entre los años 1887 y 1922. Ambos cortes responden, por un lado, a la sancióndel Código Penal y al establecimiento del aborto como “delito contra las personas”. Por el otro, a la reforma penal que modifica su tratamiento. Dentro de este lapso he podido registrar, para la ciudad de Córdoba, las primeras causas judiciales caratuladas como “aborto”, lo que podría permitirme el acercamiento a la cultura popular. De esta manera, recupero dos campos en tensión en el ejercicio de la justicia: la cultura legal estatal, trazada por agentes estatales, expertos legales criminólogos y comunicadores sociales que sancionan e interpretan las normas legales, establecen procedimientos jurídicos y presentan los peligros que el delito significa a la sociedad; y la cultura popular, que tiene sus propias concepciones sobre esas normas legales. En este artículo me detendré en el análisis minucioso de un expediente judicial sobre la causa abierta a una mujer “por suponérsela autora de aborto violento”. Dicho caso permite reflexionar sobre el carácter incipiente y crecientemente condenatorio a dicha práctica y sobre las ambigüedades y limites porosos entre aborto e infanticidio, entre aborto espontáneo y provocado. A su vez, el expediente se presenta como la puerta de acceso a la enunciación de diferentes discursos que ponen en tensión la relación antes aludida. Así, a los planteos expertos (el juez, el fiscal, los médicos, entre otros) se involucran con lxs profanxs (la acusada, lxs vecinxs, etc.).
Feminismo(s) y prostitución. Disputas en las formas de nombrar a las mujeres
Authors: Behrens Romina
Published: March 2019

El presente trabajo desarrolla las disputas de sentido en torno a la prostitución en el ámbito académico y del activismo feminista. Entre las definiciones que sostienen que la prostitución es un trabajo y las que denuncian la violencia hacia las mujeres, existen diferentes formas de nombrar la identidad que asume o asumiría el colectivo de mujeres, entendiendo que cada grupo vive y percibe esa experiencia de manera diversa. Para finalizar, se presenta una categoría que es utilizada para nombrar a las mujeres que ejercen prostitución en Río Gallegos, lugar donde se desarrolló un trabajo de campo en el marco de una investigación doctoral. Esta construcción política epistemológica no coincide con otras categorías del activismo feminista, por lo que se demuestra la diversidad de las experiencias individuales en el sexo comercial y la imposibilidad de encontrar identidades esencializadas.

Authors: Santarelli Giorgia , Baron Toaldo Marco , Bouvard Jonathan , Glaus Tony M. , Fernández del Palacio Josefa
Published: March 2019

OBJECTIVE

To determine variability of global longitudinal strain (GLS) and strain rate (SR) measurements in dogs with and without cardiac disease derived from 2-D speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) by use of various software.

ANIMALS

2 cohorts comprising 44 dogs (23 cardiovascularly healthy and 21 with cardiac disease) and 40 dogs (18 cardiovascularly healthy and 22 with cardiac disease).

PROCEDURES

Transthoracic echocardiographic images in each cohort were analyzed with vendor-independent software and vendor-specific 2-D STE software for each of 2 vendors. Values for GLS and SR obtained from the same left parasternal apical views with various software were compared. Intraobserver and interobserver variability was determined, and agreement among results for the various software was assessed.

RESULTS

Strain analysis was not feasible with vendor-independent software for 20% of images obtained with the ultrasonography system of vendor 1. Intraobserver and interobserver coefficient of variation was < 10% for GLS values, whereas SR measurements had higher variance. There was a significant difference in GLS and SR obtained for each cohort with different software. Evaluation of Bland-Altman plots revealed wide limits of agreement, with variance for GLS of up to 6.3 units in a single dog.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results of longitudinal strain analysis were not uniform among software, and GLS was the most reproducible measurement. Significant variability in results among software warrants caution when referring to reference ranges or comparing serial measurements in the same patient because changes of < 6.5% in GLS might be within measurement error for different postprocessing software.
Development and assessment of a novel precordial lead system for accurate detection of right atrial and ventricular depolarization in dogs with various thoracic conformations
Authors: Santilli Roberto A. , Porteiro Vázquez Dolores Maria , Gerou-Ferriani Magda , Lombardo Sergio F. , Perego Manuela
Published: March 2019

OBJECTIVE

To assess recording accuracy of right atrial and ventricular depolarization during 12-lead ECG when precordial lead V1 was positioned at each of 5 locations on the thorax of dogs with various thoracic conformations.

ANIMALS

60 healthy client-owned dogs.

PROCEDURES

20 dogs were allocated to each of 3 groups (brachymorphic, mesomorphic, or dolichomorphic) on the basis of thoracic conformation. Each dog remained unsedated and was positioned in right lateral recumbency for a series of five 12-lead surface ECGs, with V1 located adjacent to the sternum in the fifth intercostal space (ICS; control), at the costochondral junction (CCJ) of the right first ICS (1st-R), at the CCJ of the right third ICS, at the right third ICS where the thorax was the widest, and at the CCJ of the left first ICS. Electrocardiographic variables were compared among the 5 ECG tracings.

RESULTS

When V1 was at the control location, the P wave was positive for all dogs; however, consistent recording of right atrial and ventricular depolarization (ie, R wave-to-S wave ratio [R/S] < 1) occurred more frequently for brachymorphic dogs (16/20) than for dolichomorphic (7/20) and mesomorphic (6/20) dogs. When V1 was at the 1st-R location, the P wave was negative for most dogs, and R/S was < 1 for the majority of dogs in the brachymorphic (19/20), mesomorphic (17/20), and dolichomorphic (16/20) groups. The median R/S for V1 at the 1st-R location was significantly lower than that for the other 4 V1 locations.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results indicated that placement of V1 at the 1st-R location provided correct evaluation of right atrial and ventricular depolarization in most dogs regardless of thoracic conformation.

In this article I defend the thesis that modern computer science has a significant philosophical potential, which is expressed in a form of worldview, called here informational worldview (IVW). It includes such theses like: a) each being contains a certain informational content (which may be revealed by computer science concepts, such as code or algorithm), b) the mind is an information processing system (which should be modeled by means of data processing systems), c) cognition is a type of computation. These (pre)philosophical theses are accepted in many sciences (e.g. in cognitive science), and this is both an expression and strengthening of the IWV. After a general discussion of the relations between philosophy, particular sciences and the worldview, and then the presentation of the basic assumptions and theses of the IWV, I analyze a certain specification of thesis b) expressed in the statement that “the mind is the Turing machine”. I distinguish three concepts of mind (static, variable and minimal) and explain how each of them is connected with the concept of the Turing machine.
Identity and distribution of the Silesian minority in Poland
Authors: Orlewski Patryk
Published: March 2019

According to the National Census of Population and Housing 2011, Silesians are the second largest nationality in Poland. Nevertheless, Silesian nationality is not recognised under Polish law. In this paper, the main aspects of the identity of the Silesian people are discussed. Research was carried out using questionnaire-based interviews in ten municipalities in the Silesian Voivodeship, characterised by the greatest share of Silesians. The ethnic identity of Silesians is complex – more than half of the respondents declared dual nationality. Most of the respondents demand the recognition of the Silesian ethnolect as a regional language, and consequently, its inclusion as a school subject in Upper Silesia. The postulate of establishing autonomy is popular, with a model of the Silesian Voivodeship from the period of interwar Poland.
Comparison of the perception of overt and covert options in IPSAS financial statements by intergovernmental organizations
Authors: Adam Berit
Published: March 2019

Since 2012, the European Commission has embarked on the ambitious project to harmonize public sector accounting rules on all levels of government within Europe, mainly to improve the quality as well as the comparability of financial data. Although International Public Sector Accounting Standards were deemed not to be suitable for a simple take-over because of various reasons, they nevertheless shall function as a primary reference point for developing European Public Sector Accounting Standards. A total of 21 out of 28 central governments have already reformed their accounting standards to accrual accounting, and some of them have also relied on IPSAS in this exercise. Apart from governments, various international and supranational governmental organizations have also since the end of the 2000’s been reforming their accounting system to accrual accounting, and have in the same way relied on existing IPSAS. This paper explores accounting practices found in ten intergovernmental organizations (Commonwealth Secretariat, Council of Europe, European Commission, IAEA, INTERPOL, ITER, NAPMA, OECD, International Criminal Court, WFP) whose statements are prepared in compliance with IPSAS. It analyzes how overt and covert options contained in IPSAS with relevance to the activities of intergovernmental organizations are exercised and evaluates in which areas of accounting material differences in accounting practices can be found, which may hinder the comparability of financial statements prepared on the basis of IPSAS.
A dimensão jurídico-material da autonomia financeira do município da cidade de Nampula (Moçambique)
Authors: Chapananga Nelsone David Bechane
Published: March 2019

Formalmente a Constituição moçambicana (CRM) cria as autarquias locais na condicção de sobreviverem às custas de receitas próprias arrecadadas dentro do seu território e geridas autonomamente pelos respetivos órgãos. Contudo, considerando os 20 anos da existência dos municípios, surge-nos a vontade de procurar saber se o Conselho Municipal da Cidade de Nampula (CMCN) já goza, jurídica e materialmente, da autonomia financeira constitucionalmente prevista. Estudos por nós já conduzidos em Lichinga e Cuamba demonstraram que grosso número das autarquias locais em Moçambique sobrevivem anualmente a custa de transferências orçamentais do Estado, e nem conseguem atingir acima de 30% das receitas próprias globalmente planificadas. O estudo seguiu o método correlacional alicerçado na abordagem quantitativa. E como técnica de recolha de dados usamos a escala de medição proporcional, com uma estrutura composta por quatro níveis, a saber: variáveis, atributos, valores e relação. Na prática verificou-se que as receitas próprias do CMCN participaram apenas em 40,35% do orçamento global dos três anos, facto que nos permitiu concluir que o município é autónomo quando comparamos as receitas correntes com as despesas correntes, mas comparando apenas as receitas próprias com as despesas correntes, este fica muito longe de ser autónomo e sustentável.
Compensação equitativa por cópia privada digital
Authors: Reis Mariana Mourão
Published: March 2019

A presente obra incide, em síntese, sobre a compensação equitativa por cópia digital realizada para uso privado, tendo por base o ordenamento jurídico português. Mais concretamente, o conteúdo vertido nos artigos 75.º n.º 2 alínea b) in fine e 82.º do Código de Direito de Autor e Conexos, bem como a Lei n.º 62/98, de 1 de setembro, que regula especificamente esta matéria. Ao mesmo tempo que constitui, desde que verificados certos requisitos, uma utilização livre, em benefício de pessoas singulares, o legislador considera que a liberdade de estas copiarem obras protegidas deve ser acompanhada de uma compensação económica a atribuir aos titulares de direitos, pelos possíveis prejuízos por aquela causados. Esta é uma questão que se inscreve, também, no plano do Direito Comunitário, conhecendo destaque, aqui, a Diretiva 2001/29/CE, que contém diretrizes para o legislador português, a que se aludirá. Por fim, encontrar-se-ão algumas notas decorrentes da problematização do tema e o levantamento de dúvidas sobre o futuro do instituto em apreço.

There are currently no effective measures to combat fibrosis in modern medical practice. One of the reasons for that is the late diagnosis associated with the lack of available clinical biomarkers and effective methods of non-invasive detection of the process. Fibrosis of the skin is characterized by fibrosis of the dermis, underlying tissues and is represented by a wide range of nosologies. Scleroderma and scars are of the greatest interest for the study. Skin changes in the development of bleomycin-induced fibrosis was studied in the experimental model using laser fluorescence spectroscopy and optical tissue oximetry. A significant increase in the rates of endogenous fluorescence of porphyrins, caused by inflammation and hypoxia, was detected at 7 and 21 days. An increased intensity of endogenous collagen fluorescence and a decreased specific oxygen uptake due to excess accumulation of the extracellular matrix were recorded on the 21st day after bleomycin treatment. Synchronous measurements of the collagen fluorescence and the specific oxygen uptake allowed to correlate the obtained data and the phases of the fibrogenic response described morphologically. The results allow to judge the severity of inflammation and hypoxia in the process of the fibrosis development. The objective and quantitative nature of the recorded parameters makes it possible to develop criteria for diagnosing the phases of fibrosis development.
