Ergonyms of Educational and Cultural spheres in two of Baltic States cities
Authors: Pošeiko Solvita
Published: January 2020

Daugavpils (Latvia) and Narva (Estonia) are cities in the Baltic States and signifi cant cultural and economic centres of their respective countries. These cities are characterized by a minority of nationals (19.8% of residents of Daugavpils are Latvian, 4% of residents of Narva are Estonian) and a similar linguistic situation: there is a dominance of Russian in the press, television and radio, but the state language prevails in the urban language signs.The aim of the study is to analyse the linguistic and extralinguistic means used for the creation of ergonyms of educational and cultural spheres. The main criteria for the analysis are: language choice, grammatical structures, sources of precedent and semantic groups. The data for this study were collected in city websites. Some conclusions: 1) Mixed proper names (the direct name and symbolical name) prevail: in Daugavpils there are more mixed names in the fi eld of education, while in Narva there are more mixed names in the culture sphere. Onymization of nomenclature names can be observed. 2) Ergonyms are mostly created in the offi cial language. In Narva, there is explicit use of Russian (directly as the fi rst/second or third language and indirectly – in transliteration). 3) In symbolical names, there are more lexemes representing or characterizing wildlife, while in Narva also the potential of mythology, literature and cinema is used. Denotative precedent is more often found in the names of informal educational institutions and the cultural sphere, connotative precedent – in the names of kindergartens. 4) In general, it must be concluded that the specifi c things characteristic to the local environment are used more often in Narva, while respecting the unique experience of minorities.

Authors: Brizuela Rodríguez Armel , Pérez Rojas Nelson , Rojas Rojas Guaner
Published: January 2020

El objetivo del presente artículo es brindar evidencias de validez y de confiabilidad sobre una prueba nueva para medir el nivel de comprensión lectora de estudiantes universitarios. Para ello se empleó un diseño de investigación observacional y transversal, mediante la cual se aplicó la prueba a un grupo de 244 estudiantes de primer ingreso a una carrera universitaria. Los resultados fueron analizados con base en la Teoría Clásica de los Test y en el modelo de Rasch, así como también se estimó el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson entre las puntuaciones en la prueba y un curso universitario de primer año de carrera. El principal hallazgo de este estudio es la creación de una prueba de 44 ítems que permite generar puntuaciones con una confiabilidad de 0,74 y que presentan una correlación estadísticamente significativa (p < 0,000) de 0,21 [0,09, 0,33] con las notas de estudiantes en un curso de carrera de primer año. Con base en los análisis efectuados, se concluye que la prueba podría ser útil para detectar estudiantes de primer ingreso a la educación superior que podrían presentar problemas de comprensión lectora y, por ende, ver disminuido su rendimiento académico. En este sentido, la prueba podría servir para propósitos de screening, es decir, para coadyuvar en la elaboración de planes remediales, implementación de intervenciones educativas y desarrollo de unidades didácticas orientadas al fortalecimiento de la comprensión lectora de los(as) estudiantes universitarios de primer ingreso.
Comportamiento ético en la publicación científica: malas conductas y acciones para evitarlas
Authors: Zúñiga Vargas Juan Pablo
Published: January 2020

El presente artículo desarrolla una revisión bibliográfica sobre las principales malas conductas científicas en torno a la publicación. Para este propósito, se ejecutó una búsqueda de información en bases de datos académicas y buscadores académicos en Internet para localizar publicaciones las cuales trataran el tema de la mala conducta científica en el proceso editorial de artículos científicos. La información localizada fue analizada y todo caso de mala conducta científica identificado fue clasificado de acuerdo con los participantes del proceso editorial de un artículo científico, a saber, personas autoras, editoras y dictaminadoras. A su vez, cada caso se discute concisamente. Finalmente, con el fin de luchar contra la mala conducta científica en la publicación, se sugiere recurrir a la evaluación formativa en los niveles de grado y posgrado (en cursos de metodología de la investigación, por ejemplo) y que los consejos editoriales de las revistas científicas adopten medidas para garantizar la ética en la publicación tales como códigos de ética y declaraciones de originalidad.
La evaluación anacrónica desde la docencia universitaria
Authors: Robles Barrantes Andrés Ariel
Published: January 2020

La evaluación dentro de las universidades como herramienta de medición se mantiene estática en el tiempo, sin recibir transformaciones. El objetivo del presente ensayo académico consiste en efectuar una fotografía de la dinámica docente enfatizando en la esencia de la evaluación y la docencia. Teniendo en cuenta que la docencia universitaria está llamada a ir más allá de las dinámicas tradicionales, cuya esencia se centra en la búsqueda constante por ser un espacio de construcción del conocimiento, uno que no puede reducirse simplemente a las reglas del mercado y sus directrices económicas, sino que tiene la obligación de centrarse en función de la persona concluyendo en la importancia de la reflexión crítica para alejarse de un sistema en donde cada vez hay menos creatividad, menos construcción del pensamiento y que en su lugar se fortalece la replicación de conocimientos, la repetición simultánea, la memorización de información y la frívola medición numérica.
Identificación de las expectativas del estudiantado de primer año del programa de Odontología de la Universidad CES. Medellín (Colombia)
Authors: Martínez Delgado Cecilia María , Pérez Colombia Paula Natalia
Published: January 2020

Según la Real Academia de la Lengua, las expectativas, son la esperanza de ejecutar o conseguir algo. En el ámbito educativo, la relación entre expectativas y satisfacción se estudia desde dos perspectivas diferentes pero complementarias: una, centrada en la calidad del servicio educativo y otra, en el bienestar psicológico de cada estudiante. Así pues, las expectativas no son un tema de interés reciente y, en la actualidad, son un punto sobre el cual se crean estrategias para influir en la retención estudiantil universitaria. Este trabajo se propuso identificar las expectativas del estudiantado que ingresó a la carrera de odontología en la Universidad CES, ubicada en Medellín (Colombia), correspondiente a tres cohortes (2017-1, 2017-2 y 2018-1). Se realizó un estudio con enfoque cuantitativo, de tipo observacional, descriptivo y comparativo, con una muestra no aleatoria de 152 estudiantes de primer ingreso a la carrera de Odontología en la Universidad CES con sede en Medellín, Colombia. Se aplicó el cuestionario CIA-A validado en Chile con una población semejante (estudiantes de primer año de medicina). Respondieron principalmente mujeres (72,2%); la procedencia se concentró en Medellín y su área metropolitana; se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre las cohortes según procedencia y carrera previa. Los factores analizados, tuvieron un comportamiento semejante entre cohortes, aunque la cohorte del año 2017-2 mostró mejores promedios en cada uno de los ítems. La dimensión participación estudiantil es el componente con mayores expectativas. El valor que dan a la participación estudiantil es un asunto clave para facilitar su permanencia.
Fenomenología de la responsabilidad por el Otro: un estudio sobre la vocación de la docenci
Authors: Fernandez Guayana Tany Giselle
Published: January 2020

Este artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio fenomenológico cuyo propósito fue comprender y describir los sentidos que las personas docentes le otorgan a su responsabilidad educativa. Participó profesorado que se desempeñaba en los niveles de educación preescolar, básica, media y superior según lo establece la ley colombiana. La investigación se enmarca en un estudio cualitativo con metodología fenomenológica. Se elaboró y se estableció como método la fenomenología de la responsabilidad cuyos existenciales se enmarcan en: la renuncia, la preocupación, la apertura, la donación y la afectación por el Otro, así como la espacialidad, la temporalidad y la materialidad de Max Van Manen. La técnica de recolección de información fue la entrevista fenomenológica. Los resultados evidencian la vivencia de la responsabilidad educativa a partir de un proceso: maestros y maestras inician desprendiéndose de sí mismos lo cual les posibilita abrirse a la presencia desbordante del estudiantado, y, por tanto, brindar una respuesta a la demanda del Otro: una respuesta ética. Como conclusión se establece que la responsabilidad que le otorga el profesorado a su quehacer educativo es una vocación por el Otro. Se recomienda ampliar los criterios de selección del cuerpo docente para futuros estudios, así como aplicar la fenomenología de la responsabilidad en otros agentes educativos.

Published: January 2020

Clinical parameters available to evaluate early healing phases of bone regeneration procedures are limited. This study explores wound fluid (WF) content for molecular markers to differentiate wound healing responses in the early postoperative period after bone graft placement. Fifteen patients (50 ± 5 years old; 8 men) scheduled to receive tooth extraction and bone graft placement at maxillary nonmolar single-tooth sites were recruited. Primary wound closure was not intended at time of surgery. Gingival crevicular fluid from adjacent teeth or WF from surgical wound edges were collected (30 seconds) at baseline, at 3, 6, and 9 days, and at 1 and 4 months. Multiplex protein assay was used to determine concentration of various wound healing mediators. Immediately after surgery, 87% of surgical sites exhibited open wound. At day 9, mean wound exposure was 4.8 ± 0.4 mm. At 1 month, all wounds were clinically closed. The WF tripled in volume at day 3 and day 6 (P ≤ .05), compared with baseline gingival crevicular fluid, and gradually decreased as wounds closed. The WF concentrations of interleukin (IL)-6, placental growth factor, plasminogen activator inhibitor 1, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1, and soluble cluster determinant 40 ligand were increased during early healing days, generally with peak concentration at day 6 (P ≤ .004). Conversely, WF concentrations of IL-18 and epidermal growth factor were decreased after surgery, generally not reaching baseline values until wound closure (P ≤ .008). In general, WF cytokine expression kinetics were concordant with wound closure dynamics (P ≤ .04). These results suggest that WF molecular markers such as IL-6, and to a lesser extent placental growth factor and IL-18, might help differentiate wound healing responses after bone regeneration procedures.
“ABCD” Implant Classification: A Comprehensive Philosophy for Treatment Planning in Completely Edentulous Arches
Authors: Tunkiwala Ali , Kher Udatta , Vaidya Nupur H.
Published: January 2020

A thorough and precise treatment plan that considers various factors such as age, availability of bone, interarch space for prosthesis design, smile line, lip support, patient desires, and economics is a necessity before implant surgery. Many previous classification systems for treatment planning in edentulous situations tend to focus on only a certain parameter such as esthetics, or available bone volume, or are specifically designed for the maxilla or mandible. The authors have proposed a simplified and universal ABCD classification that uses the 4 vital parameters of age, bone volume, cosmetic display, and degree of resorption to create an algorithm that satisfies the treatment needs of every patient. Various permutations of the 4 parameters can be used to arrive at a solution that streamlines the further phases of the rehabilitative process. The aim of the present article is to provide a science-driven approach to understand a patient's individual needs with careful attention to the interplay of all the aforementioned factors in the decision-making process.
Successful Management of Dental Implants in Postoperative Maxillary Cyst: A Case Report With a 13-Year Follow-Up
Authors: Park Won-Bae , Kim Young-Jin , Han Ji-Young , Kang Philip
Published: January 2020

The report is presenting a case of implant placement in the postoperative maxillary cyst (POMC) with a follow-up of 13 years. The POMC is a complication associated with various surgical interventions involving maxillary sinus diseases such as Caldwell-Luc operation, orthognathic surgery, and sinus grafting procedures. The lesion of POMC is believed to develop as a result of the changes of ciliated cells or the blockage of ostia inside the maxillary sinus. Two dental implants were placed near the lesion that was later confirmed to be POMC. Of the 2 dental implants placed, one was explanted and the other was successfully managed with surface debridement followed by guided bone regeneration. The removed specimen inclusive of the implant and surrounding tissue was evaluated with clinical photographs, radiographs, and histology and the findings are described in the paper.
Use of Buccal Fat Pad in the Treatment of Peri-Implant Mucosal Defect: A Case Report
Authors: Nascimento Rodrigo Dias , Gonçalves Tamires Stella , Cardoso Paula Elaine , de Moraes Michelle Bianchi , Raldi Fernando Vagner
Published: January 2020

The present study describes a clinical case in which the buccal fat pad (BFP) was used to improve the contour of the peri-implant mucosa. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of such an application in the literature. A 58-year-old woman presented with teeth #2 and #3 missing and an indication for extraction of tooth #4. After clinical examination and CBCT analysis, immediate implants were placed in the region of the extracted tooth and that of tooth #2 for prosthetic rehabilitation using a three-unit fixed partial denture. There was an extensive mucosal defect in the region of tooth #3, with vertical and horizontal changes in the contour of the mucosa. As an alternative to the use of a subepithelial connective tissue graft, we opted for displacement of the BFP and its accommodation on the alveolar ridge of tooth #3 to improve the buccal tissue contour. After 5 years of follow-up, satisfactory gain and maintenance of mucosal volume were observed in the treated area, as well as improvement of buccal tissue contour. The use of BFP seems to be a feasible alternative for filling and treating peri-implant mucosal defects.
Neurophobia: why, how much, consequences and solutions
Authors: Hernando-Requejo Virgilio
Published: January 2020

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. The term neurophobia was defined by Jozefowicz as "a fear of the neural sciences and clinical neurology that is due to the students' inability to apply their knowledge of basic sciences to clinical situations, leading to a paralysis of thought or action". In this paper we review what we see as the key aspects of neurophobia. What gives rise to it? Notable among multiple causes are how basic and clinical neurosciences are taught, the peculiarities of neurological patient history, examination and differential diagnosis in the field, and how neurology and neurologists are seen from outside the field. We will also review the extent of the issue, for in view of its prevalence, many students will reject a specialty in increasing demand (as the incidence of neurological disorders will not cease to grow), along with its consequences: more patient referrals to neurology (owing to neurophobia or defensive medicine), or over-prescription of ancillary tests for diagnosis. Finally we will look at the solutions proposed, especially those aiming to bring about changes in the form and content of teaching, how the teaching of neurological examination and of new technologies is to be approached, and the use of those technologies as teaching aids.

Published: January 2020

PEMODELAN DAN SIMULASI KINERJA PIN UJI BAHAN BAKAR PWR DENGAN UO2 DIPERKAYA. Pemodelan dan simulasi pin uji bahan bakar PWR telah dilakukan menggunakan kode komputer termomekanik FEMAXI-6. Simulasi dilakukan untuk memprediksi kinerja pin uji dengan variasi pengayaan pelet UO2. Dari simulasi ini diharapkan akan diperoleh data mengenai pengaruh tingkat pengayaan bahan bakar, fluks netron yang diterima pin uji, durasi iradiasi dan tingkat pencapaian burn-up pada awal terjadinya kontak antara pelet UO2 dengan kelongsong zircaloy (pellet cladding mechanical interaction, PCMI) pada pin uji. Data tersebut selanjutnya akan digunakan sebagai panduan pada perencanaan eksperimen iradiasi di reaktor RSG GAS Batan Serpong. Data masukan yang diterima kode FEMAXI-6 adalah geometri dan jenis material yang akan diiradiasi serta parameter kondisi iradiasi seperti flux neutron atau linear heat rate. Selanjutnya dilakukan perhitungan perpindahan panas, distribusi temperatur, lepasan gas hasil fisi serta tekanan di dalam pin bahan bakar untuk seluruh panjang bahan-bakar dalam pin uji. Distribusi temperatur yang dihasilkan dari modul analisis termal digunakan pada modul analisis mekanik rinci (PCMI, lebar gap). Hasil simulasi menunjukan kecenderungan bahwa semakin besar tingkat pengayaan uranium dalam pelet UO2, semakin cepat kontak pelet-kelongsong terjadi pada penggunaan tingkat pembangkitan daya yang relatif sama, tetapi dengan masukan Linear Heat Rate yang tinggi. PCMI belum terjadi pada iradiasi uranium alam untuk pencapaian 100% burn-up dengan daya penuh sedangkan pada pelet UO2 diperkaya 5%, PCMI telah terjadi pada 900 jam iradiasi meskipun tingkat dayanya sudah diturunkan menjadi separuhnya dengan pencapaian burn-up sekitar 4%.Kata kunci: PRTF, simulasi, pin PWR, FEMAXI, unjuk kerja.
Seismic Hazard Assessment in Australia: Can Structured Expert Elicitation Achieve Consensus in the “Land of the Fair Go”?
Authors: Griffin Jonathan D. , Allen Trevor I. , Gerstenberger Matthew C.
Published: January 2020

The 2018 National Seismic Hazard Assessment of Australia incorporated 19 alternative seismic-source models developed by members of the Australian seismological community. The diversity of these models demonstrates the deep epistemic uncertainty that exists with regards to how best to characterize seismicity in stable continental regions. In the face of similarly high uncertainty, a diverse range of ground-motion models was proposed for use. A complex logic tree was developed to incorporate the alternative component models into a single hazard model. Expert opinion was drawn upon to weight the alternative logic-tree branches through a structured expert elicitation process. Expert elicitation aims to transparently and reproducibly characterize the community distribution of expert estimates for uncertain quantities and thereby quantify the epistemic uncertainty around estimates of seismic hazard in Australia. We achieve a multimodel rational consensus in which each model, and each expert, is, in accordance with the Australian cultural myth of egalitarianism, given a “fair go”—that is, judged on their merits rather than their status. Yet despite this process, we find that the results are not universally accepted. A key issue is a contested boundary between what is scientifically reducible and what remains epistemologically uncertain, with a particular focus on the earthquake catalog. Furthermore, a reduction, on average, of 72% for the 10% in 50 yr probability of exceedance peak ground acceleration levels compared with those underpinning existing building design standards, challenges the choice of metrics upon which design codes are based. Both quantification of the bounds of epistemic uncertainties through expert elicitation and reduction of epistemic uncertainties through scientific advances have changed our understanding of how the hazard behaves. Dialog between scientists, engineers, and policy makers is required to ensure that as our understanding of the hazard evolves, the hazard metrics used to underpin risk management decisions are re-evaluated to ensure societal aims are achieved.
Analysis of Intraslab Predigital Earthquakes of the South-Central Alaska Region
Authors: Doser Diane I.
Published: January 2020

I compare intensity data from 17 predigital intraslab earthquakes in south-central Alaska and digitized waveforms for nine of these events to similar data for the 24 January 2016 Iniskin and 30 November 2018 Anchorage intraslab events. Both the 2016 and 2018 events were associated with amplification of strong ground motion at distances of over 100 km from their epicenters, likely due to the velocity structure associated with flat slab subduction in the region as well as the thick sedimentary sequence found within the Cook Inlet basin. Six of the predigital events also appear to have similar amplification of strong ground motion. Waveform comparisons suggest the 4 May 1934 Prince William Sound and 3 October 1954 Kenai Peninsula events had similar focal mechanisms and depths to the 30 November 2018 Anchorage event. Earthquakes occurring in regions where the P-wave velocity of the slab exceeds 7.5  km/s tend to be associated with higher strong ground motions.

How Should One Write about Masters?
Authors: Kola Adam F.
Published: January 2020

The aim of the paper is to answer the question: how should one write about masters? It is a question about the narrative strategies of authors writing about masters. The presented analysis is based on five examples: (1) John A. Hall’s Ernest Gellner: An Intellectual Biography, (2) Anita Burdman Feferman and Solomon Feferman’s Alfred Tarski: Life and Logic, (3) Edmund Leach’s Lévi-Strauss, (4) Andrzej Walicki’s Idee i ludzie. Próba autobiografii [Ideas and People. An Attempt at an Autobiography], and (5) Dialogues by Roman Jakobson and Krystyna Pomorska. Each text presents different rhetorical devices, authorial relations to the master, and academic aims. The paper concludes with a critical comparison of the five examples (with the addition of some other minor cases also discussed in the paper).
The Anti-Masters
Authors: Wejland Andrzej Paweł
Published: January 2020

The author’s reflections, which include an autobiographical note, focus on local research communities, that is, communities where the living scholarly discourse usually unfolds within one paradigm and the teachings of a Master which fill this paradigm. The starting point is the observation, referring mostly to the broadly understood humanities, that the discourse within a community which centres on a Master is sometimes imbued with the critical, sometimes even opposing narrations of anti-masters. In the primary relationship, the anti-masters and the Master confront each other as living people, as researchers who sometimes engage in an open debate and sometimes raise a dividing wall of critical silence. Taking into consideration the scale and the contents of these confrontations, the author distinguishes four categories of anti-masters. He also points out that the role of anti-masters in local research communities is often beneficial, especially from the long-term perspective. Their narratives may inspire and expand the community’s scholarly horizons, including, as does occasionally happen, the views of wise Masters and their faithful disciples.
The Word „master/Master” Sounds Strange…
Authors: Kabzińska Iwona
Published: January 2020

The author avoids using the term master/Master, instead referring to the concept of a Teacher when describing the people who played a significant role in her life and who are the main protagonists of this article. These people are the Professors Anna Kutrzeba-Pojnarowa and Witold Dynowski, ethnologists, excellent lecturers and researchers; and also people full of passion, respect for the achievements of other scholars, fascinated with the history of the discipline they represent and the interrelation of “macro” and “micro” history. First and foremost, they are great PEOPLE. Reminiscing about encounters with them, the author presents the model relationship between a teacher and a pupil, close to her, which is not limited to passing knowledge. The relationship is based on kindness, openness to others, and motivating them to overcome their limitations, fears and difficulties. The skills of noticing the potential of others, encouraging them to develop, acceptance, keeping one’s spirits up, support and co-existence should also be mentioned.

Another person who also played the role of Teacher, although she has never been designated as such by the author, is her Grandmother Janina Orzechowska.

She was the one who shaped the author’s attitudes to life, her way of looking at other people, her passions and ways of being. She was the person whose selfless love expressed by her behavior, gestures and looks accompanied the author from an early age.

The motif of the relationship is very explicit in the text. The author emphasizes that relationships are not always joyful and constructive. Sometimes they clip one’s wings, they hurt and take away the light. Relationships which are beautiful in the beginning can also change under the influence of an illness, of one person affecting the others. The author describes changes like that via the example of the relationship with someone who appears in the text as the anonymous Teacher. It was a person from whom the author received a bitter lesson in life, far from fairy tales with a happy end.
A Meaningful Academic Life: Loving, Fulfilling, Challenging, and Flabbergasting

Published: January 2020

In this essay, I present the talk I gave at the celebration honoring my retirement from University of South Florida (USF). Held on January 25, 2019, this event was attended by an audience of friends, students, and university faculty and administrators. I tell several stories about coming to USF, meeting and collaborating with Art Bochner, and the support I experienced and the fulfillment I found in my university life. Passionate about teaching from the heart to the whole person and doing research that matters, I describe the meaning I derived from participating in an interpretive and qualitative Communication program that focused on the human sciences. I end with 10 aphorisms or observations from lessons learned in my experience of four decades in the university, some of which allude to the unnamed challenges I experienced among the great joys and good fortune of academic life.

Published: January 2020

The importance of an architecture adapted to its climatic context is often debated. In order to avoid future unexpected environmental behavior or failure of a building during its use, building simulation tools are used in the design and require complete and consistent weather data. However, such data are not always available for the locations where buildings are simulated, and the use of data from neighboring cities becomes usual. There are, though, several uncertainties involved in the behavior of environmental variables when the climate of large urban centers is attributed to nearby localities and areas with more significant vegetation cover, water bodies, different topography, among others. The present paper aims to present the process of preparing a weather file for the Pecém Industrial and Port Complex, located at 40 km from the capital Fortaleza, Brazil, in order to be used in simulations during the design process of buildings. The synthesis of the file was achieved through the collection and treatment of information measured in loco, the application of recommended models for the estimation of missing data, and the development of an alternative method for the estimation of a Test Reference Year of localities without weather data of several years.
Conforto acústico de escritórios em ambiente industrial de usina hidrelétrica
Authors: Martins Rodrigo Valdeci , Miranda Erasmo Felipe Vergara
Published: January 2020

A clareza na comunicação, o conforto e a concentração da atenção são fundamentais no desempenho e produtividade dos profissionais que utilizam escritórios em ambientes industriais. A avaliação do conforto acústico nesses escritórios deve considerar a medição de níveis de pressão sonora (NPS), de tempos de reverberação (TR), bem como a quantificação do ruído de fundo e da inteligibilidade da fala. A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar o conforto acústico de ambientes de escritórios situados na casa de força de uma usina hidrelétrica. Para tanto, a investigação baseou-se na avaliação da interferência do ruído de fundo e do TR na inteligibilidade da fala em seis ambientes de três escritórios, a partir de medições de NPS, da quantificação e análise das curvas critério de ruído NC e RC Mark II, e do Índice de Transmissão da Fala (STI). Os seis ambientes internos também foram avaliados pelo cálculo do TR de Sabine e Eyring. Todos os ambientes não atenderam ao critério de conforto da curva NC 40, apresentando espectros desbalanceados entre 125 e 500 Hz e vibrações perceptíveis nas baixas frequências (16 ou 31,5 Hz) que superaram os 75 dB. Quatro ambientes atenderam aos valores de TR recomendados, mantendo-se entre 0,3 e 0,5 segundo. O STI foi classificado entre ruim e razoável, variando entre 0,2 e 0,5. Conclui-se que ambientes industriais como casas de força de usinas hidrelétricas semelhante as estudadas não favorecem a instalação de escritórios sem interferência no conforto acústico e na comunicação oral dos usuários, sendo necessário um projeto adequado para utilização prolongada em trabalhos intelectuais.

Development in coastal areas is an essential priority for overcoming social and economic gaps and conflicts through empowerment programs. The purpose of this research is to create a model of ecotourism-based coastal community empowerment. This study uses the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) qualitative research method by collecting data through in-depth interviews, observation, documentation analysis, Focus Group Discussion (DKT) and Participatory Decision Making (PDM). Research locations in the border area of West Kalimantan are Sebubus Village and Temajuk Village, Paloh District, Sambas Regency.

Kota Surakarta merupakan dataran rendah dengan ketinggian ± 92 m dari permukaan laut dan merupakan cekungan yang dikelilingi oleh pegunungan-pegunungan di Kabupaten Boyolali, Kabupaten Karanganyar, dan Kabupaten Sukoharjo. Selain itu, Kota Surakarta merupakan salah satu kota yang dilewati oleh sungai Bengawan Solo. Hal tersebut menyebabakan Kota Surakarta memiliki potensi untuk terjadinya bencana banjir. Maka dari itu, perlu adanya suatu manajemen risiko bencana banjir untuk mengurangi dampak yang dapat ditimbulkan dari bencana tersebut. Manajemen risiko banjir tersebut salah satunya adalah dengan mitigasi struktural berupa pembuatan sarana dan prasarana pengendali banjir dan pengadaan alat sistem peringatan dini. Penelitian ini berfokus kajian pada kajian tingkat efektivitas dari infrastruktur penanganan risiko bencana banjir. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengaji efektivitas dari infrastruktur perkotaan dalam penanganan risiko banjir yang ada di Kota Surakarta. Metode yang digunakan adalah dengan deskriptif kuantitatif. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa tingkat efektivitas dari infrastruktur pengendali banjir di Kota Surakarta menunjukkan pada tingkat kurang efektif. Komponen infastruktur tanggul, bendung, dan sudetan sudah efektif menurunkan risiko kejadian (luasan, tinggi banjir, waktu kejadian) banjir dari tahun 2007 hingga tahun 2016. Namun, early warning system bencana banjir yang ada di Kota Surakarta menunjukkan pada hasil tidak efektif karena alat ini belum merata dan belum dapat menjangkau seluruh kawasan rawan banjir. Saat ini, banjir di Kota Surakarta sudah dapat dikendalikan, namun masih bermasalah dengan terjadinya genangan.

Pengelolaan sungai yang kompleks dan bersifat multisektor memerlukan tata kelola yang kolaboratif dalam penyelesaian masalahnya. Keterlibatan berbagai pihak menjadi penting dalam tata kelola yang kolaboratif. Masyarakat sebagai salah satu pihak terkait dalam pengelolaan sungai memiliki pengaruh yang penting. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukenali bentuk partisipasi masyarakat dalam program pengelolaan sungai yang dilakukan di Kota Surakarta. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis statistik deskriptif berdasarkan pada kuesioner. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bentuk partisipasi masyarakat dalam tiap program pengelolaan sungai yang dilakukan. Bentuk-bentuk partisipasi yang ada diidentifikasi ke dalam empat tahap, yaitu tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan, pemanfaatan, dan pengawasan/evaluasi. Dari penelitian yang dilakukan, diketahui bahwa selama ini, mayoritas masyarakat berpartisipasi dalam tahap pelaksanaan dan pemanfaatan hasil. Partisipasi masyarakat hanya pada kedua tahap tersebut karena kurangnya penginformasian terkait program dan tidak adanya kesempatan untuk berpartisipasi dalam beberapa tahapan. Partisipasi masyarakat dipengaruhi oleh kondisi sosial ekonomi masyarakat, penginformasian program, tokoh masyarakat, dan kesempatan berpartisipasi dalam program.
Theorising materiality in children’s digital books
Authors: Kucirkova Natalia
Published: January 2020

Participatory literacies are new ways of experiencing narratives and of “interpreting, making, sharing and belonging in increasingly globally and digitally mediated cultures” (Wohlwend 2017a: 62). This paper discusses the material features of children’s digital books and the extent to which they support participatory literacies. The material features of digital books are conceptualised in terms of their external and internal properties. Based on a theoretical discussion and empirical observations it is argued that specific internal material properties of children’s digital books, namely their interactivity and multimedia, are uniquely positioned to support participatory literacies and are therefore a site of novelty in children’s experiences of narratives.

This article discusses one of the most important scientific disciplines in the Ulum al-Qurān namely i'jāz al-Qurān. Al-Qurān the book of Allah SWT which is the greatest and eternal miracle to the prophet Muhammad SAW. al-Qurān is the light of rabbani and divine revelation which gives guidance and guidance to all humans. He is a miracle of ruhiyyah akliyyah not hissiyyah. Allah has specified al-Qurān as an eternal miracle of reason throughout the ages so that it becomes the material for thought of scholars and scientists. Hopefully with this study humans can be enlightened rather than light, get benefits rather than clues to face the days ahead. In al-Qurān there are many forms of i'jāz including al-bayāniy, al-tashrī'iy, al-ghaibiy and al-'ilmiy. In this case the reviewers will focus the study of the miracles of al-Qurān from the point of i'jāz 'ilmiy in the surah al-Ra'd. This study refers to the qualitative method of inquiry, namely the analysis of the texts of the verses of al-Qurān surah al-Ra'd based on the books of muktabar interpretation. Apart from that modern science findings by scholars related were analyzed. The objective of the study is to explain the concept of i'jāz 'ilmiy.

SMALL FOOTPRINTS EXPAND MIDDLE PERMIAN AMPHIBIAN DIVERSITY IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN KAROO
Authors: CISNEROS JUAN CARLOS , DAY MICHAEL O. , GROENEWALD JACO , RUBIDGE BRUCE S.
Published: January 2020

Two new tetrapod trackways are described from the Tapinocephalus Assemblage Zone of the South African Karoo Basin. We interpret both to be traces attributable to small anamniote tetrapods. The larger footprints are tentatively referred to aff. Batrachichnus salamandroides. These imprints are distinguished from other records of Batrachichnus by a pentadactyl pes that produces only impressions of digits III–V. Digits I and II are recognized only by their drag marks. This trace occurs in association with a second set of footprints of uncertain affinities. However, these smaller imprints are not sufficiently well preserved and could represent undertracks or partially eroded footprints. None of the footprints can be attributed to the adult forms of the two temnospondyl taxa known from the Guadalupian part of the Karoo Basin: Rhinesuchus whaitsi or Rhinesuchoides tenuiceps. We interpret the aff. Batrachichnus trackway to have been produced by a small, adult temnospondyl or microsaur (Recumbirostrae), whereas the smaller set of footprints was likely made by a juvenile rhinesuchid or an unknown amphibian, either a paedomorphic form or a tiny adult form. The discovery shows that a more diverse aquatic biota existed at this time in the Karoo than osteological records currently suggest.
Aggression among nurses
Authors: Mazur Maria
Published: January 2020

Introduction: Aggression among nurses is a topic that is lively and often touched. However, the level of nurses’ aggression needs to be analyzed with regard to stress, personality traits, and sociodemographic variables.

The aim of this study was to assess the level of aggression among nurses with regard to stress, personality, sociodemographic data, and work-related factors.

Materials and methods: The study involved 189 nurses employed in West Pomeranian hospitals. The research instruments were: the Buss–Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ), the Neuroticism-Extroversion-Openness-Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), and a self-developed questionnaire concerning sociodemographic data.

Results: Chronic stress, longer work experience, neurotic personality, place of residence, and the form of employment, translate into aggression experienced by nurses. The general aggression rate according to the BPAQ was 69.9 ±18. According to the PSS-10, the largest group of respondents (38.62%) were nurses with the highest stress levels (7–10 sten scores). The nurses with higher perceived stress levels were more prone to anger, verbal aggression and hostility (p < 0.00).

Conclusions: Aggression in the nursing environment is common and is determined by the severe stress faced by nurses. Unquestionably, the levels of stress and aggression are directly proportional. The most common personality traits among nurses are conscientiousness and agreeableness. A higher level of neuroticism is associated with proneness to aggression. The level of aggression is determined by sociodemographic data, stress, and personality traits. Variables that characterize nurses showing aggressive behaviors are: having children, advanced age, and living in a city with a population of up to 100,000, as well as having several jobs and a contract for a specific task as a form of employment.
