Authors: Tayebiniya Narjes Khatun , Khorasgani Narges Saeidian
Published: February 2018

Purpose: This study aims at specifying the relationship between workplace spirituality and job performance among Isfahan Azad Islamic university's staff.

Methodology: This study is descriptive correlational one conducted in 2015. Research population were all Isfahan Azad University staff, 375 individuals among the 189 ones were accidently and based on the mass of their department, and Cochran sample mass selected. Instruments used in this study were Ashmos (2000)'s 22-item questionnaire of workplace spirituality and Paterson's (1970) 15-item questionnaire of job performance. The stability of these questionnaires in Cronbach's Alpha was computed as 0.88 and 0.83 for workplace spirituality and job performance, respectively. Data extracted in this study was analyzed through multi-regression tests, Pierson correlation coefficient and SPSS software of variance analytical tests.

Main Findings: The results of this study show that there exists a meaningful relation between workplace spirituality (r=0.330), meaningful work (r=0.287), a sense of connection and positive social relations with coworkers (r=0. 298), individual's alignment with the organization's values (r=0.326) and job performance. (P=0.001) in the first step, from among these workplace spirituality dimensions, meaningful work is the best indicator of staff's job performance.

Implications: This study and results can throw light on strategies to be adopted to enhance job performance in University staff.

Originality: This type of study is done first time in University.
Social construction of drug policies and target populations: U.S. Policy and media discourse
Authors: Langner Jonathan , Zajicek Anna
Published: February 2018

In this review, we discuss the historical changes in U.S. drug policy discourse, institutional racism, and the social construction of target populations in media discourse. We do not intend to show a cause-effect relationship; instead, we use a social constructionist approach that focuses on meaning production and “truth-claims” to explore the relationship between news media and drug policy. We begin by discussing mass incarceration, war on drugs, and institutional racism. Next, we review a sample of the current research from the fields of sociology and criminology on drug policy, race, and media discourse. We then focus on the most recent articulation of drugrelated policy and media discourse – the discourse surrounding marijuana use, including most recent trends in marijuana discourse. We conclude by noting the possible direction for drug policies and discussing the need for research addressing gaps in current understanding of drug-related discourse and the social construction of target populations.
Wydźwięk społeczny ataku terrorystycznego w Tunezji – analiza serwisów społecznościowych biur podróży
Authors: Moroz Mirosław
Published: February 2018

Tunezja stanowiła do 2015 roku jeden z głównych kierunków wyjazdów turystycznych Polaków. Jednak zamach terrorystyczny na muzeum w Bardo, szeroko relacjonowany w mass mediach, zmienił wizerunek Tunezji jako bezpiecznego miejsca wypoczynku. Jedną z kluczowych decyzji klientów biur podróży, którzy wykupili pobyt w omawianym kraju, była decyzja: jechać do zarezerwowanego wcześniej miejsca czy zmienić kraj planowanego wypoczynku. Przed podobnym dylematem stanęli organizatorzy turystyki: zawiesić ofertę wypoczynku w omawianym kraju czy uznać, że zamach nie stanie się poważnym czynnikiem wyborów konsumenckich. Celem artykułu jest zbadanie i ocena sentymentu wypowiedzi na profilach firmowych (fanpage’ach) biur podróży wysyłających turystów do Tunezji, ogniskująca się wokół kwestii: jechać – nie jechać. Ze względu na bezpośrednią, natychmiastową i szczerą dyskusję prowadzoną między internautami oraz między internautami a biurem podróży, można przyjrzeć się rzeczywistym przesłankom wyborów dokonywanych w ramach procesu nabywczego w sytuacji kryzysowej.
On the Use of Redundancy Analysis to Study the Property Crime in Poland
Authors: Misztal Małgorzata
Published: February 2018

Redundancy analysis (RDA) is a canonical form of principal components analysis (PCA) and is one of, so‑called, linear ordination techniques. The goal of ordination is to represent objects and response variables relationships as faithfully as possible in a low‑dimensional space. Redundancy analysis is also a technique of exploratory data analysis. Graphical presentation of the results using the ordination biplots or triplots can facilitate the analysis of the relationship between the variation in the set of the response variables and the variation of the explanatory variables. In the paper, redundancy analysis was applied to assess the relationships between the selected socio‑economic factors and the intensity of the crime against property in Poland.

The “Salt of the Earth” documentary film by Wim Wenders as an implementation of the „text within a text” rhetorical strategy
Authors: Fiołek-Lubczyńska Bogumiła
Published: February 2018

Wim Wenders’s report is devoted to the output of the world-renowned photographer Sebastião Salgado. The presentation of his works in the documentary employed the text within a text composition, or rather „photography within a documentary”. The director emphasised the photographs and the statements by the photographer in such a way that the viewers could learn about Salgado as the author of his works and as a human, a humanist concerned about the fate of contemporary human beings. The analysis and the interpretation of the report enabled me to reflect theoretically on the definition and the specificity of photography.

Editorial. Impact of the Binge Drinking (BD) in Adolescence. Are we doing it right? Editorial. Impacto del consumo episódico excesivo de alcohol en la adolescencia. ¿Lo estamos haciendo bien?
Authors: Vargas-Martínez Ana Magdalena , Trapero-Bertran Marta , Gil-García Eugenia , Lima-Serrano Marta
Published: February 2018

Nowadays, one of the most prevalent patterns of alcohol consumption is called binge drinking (BD). In 2015, the European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Drugs (ESPAD) Group estimated that about 35% of adolescents of 15–16 years old have had at least one BD occasion in the past 30 days while at national level, the series of surveys on the use of drugs in adolescents of secondary education (ESTUDES, 2014-2015) determined that 32.2% of adolescents stated having performed BD in the last month. The aim of this editorial was to update the context of adolescence drinking and analysing the impact of BD by ages, including health and social costs derived. Once the magnitude of the problem was set, some research and action lines have been established in order to guide future work for the prevention of alcohol misuse and for establishing future preventive policies on alcohol. Finally, the need for evaluating these interventions from the efficiency point of view was discussed and assessed.
Consumo de alcohol, tabaco y cannabis en adolescentes de una población multicultural (Burela, Lugo)
Authors: Díaz Geada Ainara , Busto Miramontes Alicia , Caamaño Isorna Francisco
Published: February 2018

Las desigualdades en salud en la adolescencia se han asociado a la morbimortalidad de los sujetos. Este estudio pretende evaluar el efecto de género, nacionalidad e inequidades sociales sobre el consumo de alcohol, tabaco y cannabis en adolescentes en un contexto multicultural. Se ha realizado un estudio transversal entre los estudiantes de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO) de los institutos de Burela (Lugo) (n=238). Se utilizó el cuestionario “Factors de Risc en Estudiants de Secundária” diseñado por la Agència de Salut Pública de Barcelona. Variables independientes: nacionalidad y el dinero disponible semanal. Variables dependientes: expectativas y consumo de alcohol, con consumo de tabaco y marihuana. Se generaron modelos de regresión logística multivariante.
La participación en el estudio alcanzó el 91%. La proporción de alumnos que ha probado el alcohol aumenta con la edad (27,3%, 47,7% y el 75,9%), como ocurre con el tabaco (1,8%, 7,6% y 17%) y el cannabis (0%, 3,1%, 7%). La mayor disponibilidad económica constituye un factor de riesgo para haber probado el alcohol (OR=3,01), para su consumo de riesgo (OR=3,35), para haberse emborrachado (OR=6,45) y para haber probado la marihuana (OR=15,30). Sexo y nacionalidad no han evidenciado relación con el consumo de ninguna de estas drogas. Los resultados de nuestro estudio muestran que el consumo de alcohol, tabaco y cannabis aumenta con la edad así como con la mayor disponibilidad económica. Los resultados constatan que los alumnos inmigrantes no constituyen un grupo de riesgo y por ello no deben ser estigmatizados.

Published: February 2018

Introducción. Se describe la presencia de alcohol en el espacio público, valorando los establecimientos que lo ofrecen, la publicidad, y los indicios de consumo, como factores que pueden inducir el consumo.
Método. Estudio observacional descriptivo basado en un muestreo por conglomerados con selección bietápica. Se describen los resultados, y se valora la asociación espacial entre variables.
Resultados. En las 20 secciones censales estudiadas se identificaron 306 establecimientos que ofrecían bebidas alcohólicas: 204 de venta y consumo y 102 de venta sin consumo, básicamente supermercados y comercio alimentario. Su distribución territorial fue desigual, concentrada en dos distritos céntricos. Se identificaron 72 elementos de promoción y publicidad destacando el patrocinio de actividades musicales. Se observan elementos promocionales vinculados a los locales de venta y consumo, sobre todo en sus terrazas. Se detectaron cinco personas realizando venta ambulante o promoción del consumo en el casco antiguo. En cada franja horaria se apreciaron entre 39 y 51 indicios de consumo en la vía pública (mayoritariamente envases de cerveza abandonados), más frecuentes de noche y en el casco antiguo. Hay una asociación entre la presencia de establecimientos que ofrecen alcohol y la de elementos de publicidad. No se aprecia relación entre estas variables y los indicios de consumo en el espacio público; éstos se concentran en el casco antiguo, con mayor presencia del turismo.
Conclusiones. El medio urbano se caracteriza por elementos que estimulan el consumo de alcohol y su distribución es desigual, muy influida por las actividades orientadas al turismo. Mejorar la regulación de su promoción, disponibilidad y consumo en el espacio público puede contribuir a cambiar su imagen social y disminuir su uso.

WOMEN IN THE INSTITUTION OF SLAVERY AND SLAVE TRADE BETWEEN 1500 AND 1850: A CHRONOLOGICAL EVALUATION
Authors: YILDIZ Furkan
Published: February 2018

The study focuses on the transformation in societies’ slavery related practices, particularly female slavery, depending upon social periods which can be listed as tribalism, classical antiquity, feudalism and capitalism. Particularly after tribalism which means urbanization, slavery has been treated as a manpower for production, a service for household duties and concubinage for masters’ desires by societies. During these periods, female slavery has dramatically transformed from household slavery to concubinage. This situation, particularly in capitalism, has turned into brutal practices. The main aim of the study is to show women’ situation in three main slave trades and to analyse why practical differences occur in them. The method of study is chronological evaluation in order to assess the differences among social periods, genders and societies’ women related perceptions. The study highlights the roles of slave trades not only for victims but also for societies. The practical brutalism in slave trades both female and male victims until the mid-19th century was one of the darkest side of history. In this regard, the study analyses every social period to consider, highlight and evaluate not only for understanding why there are practical differences between genders and but also for demonstrating the history of slavery and slave trade.

Cavity length downstream of a sudden fall-expansion aerator in chute
Authors: Li Shuai , Zhang Jianmin , Chen Xiaoqing , Chen Jiangang , Zhou Gordon G. D.
Published: February 2018

Cavity length has been proven to have a significant effect on the air entrainment of an aerator in flood discharge engineering; however, the estimation of both the bottom and lateral cavity lengths downstream of a sudden fall-expansion aerator remain unclear. This research conducts a series of experiments involving various approach-flow conditions and geometric parameters of an aerator. An improved solution of the cavity length for the bottom and lateral cavities is established. The proposed equation was validated through the data of experiments and predecessor formulas, and exhibited a higher precision than other methods. Both the transverse turbulence and the axial dynamic pressure are found to be related to the formation of a lateral cavity. The present method involving the lateral cavity length was developed based on dimensional analysis and experimental test. The geometric morphology of a lateral cavity exhibits a parabolic shape, which is similar to that of the bottom cavity.
Hydrologic performance of bioretention in an expressway service area
Authors: Gao Jianping , Pan Junkui , Hu Ning , Xie Chengzuo
Published: February 2018

Bioretention can be an effective measure for stormwater treatment. However, there is a lack of systematic analysis of the impact of bioretention design parameters on hydrologic performance. Herein, SWMM and RECARGA models were applied to generate the typical annual rainfall runoff and simulate the water balance of the bioretention system in an expressway service area. The purpose of the investigation was to identify key design parameters for the bioretention system and delineate the priorities in developing the design. Results showed that the average groundwater recharge ratios for bioretention basins with and without an underdrain were 58.29% and 92.27%, respectively, the average overflow ratios were 4.13% and 4.19%, the average evapotranspiration ratios were 4.48% and 4.47%, and the average outflow ratio for bioretention with an underdrain was 33.94%. The ratio of the bioretention area to drainage area, and the saturated infiltration rates of planting soil and native soil were the main factors influencing water balance, while the underdrain diameter and gravel layer depth exerted little effect. Based on the impact analysis, multivariate nonlinear regression models of runoff reduction rate for two types of bioretention basin were established, which both exhibited high determination coefficients and acceptable Nash–Sutcliffe coefficients.
Diurnal variations of the energy intensity and associated greenhouse gas emissions for activated sludge processes
Authors: Emami Nasir , Sobhani Reza , Rosso Diego
Published: February 2018

A model was developed for a water resources recovery facility (WRRF) activated sludge process (ASP) in Modified Ludzack-Ettinger (MLE) configuration. Amplification of air requirements and its associated energy consumptions were observed as a result of concurrent circadian variations in ASP influent flow and carbonaceous/nitrogenous constituent concentrations. The indirect carbon emissions associated with the ASP aeration were further amplified due to the simultaneous variations in carbon emissions intensity (kgCO2,eq(kWh)−1) and electricity consumption (kWh). The ratio of peak to minimum increased to 3.4 (for flow), 4.2 (for air flow and energy consumption), and 5.2 (for indirect CO2,eq emission), which is indicative of strong amplification. Similarly, the energy costs for ASP aeration were further increased due to the concurrency of peak energy consumptions and power demands with time of use peak electricity rates. A comparison between the results of the equilibrium model and observed data from the benchmark WRRF demonstrated under- and over-aeration attributed to the circadian variation in air requirements and limitations associated with the aeration system specification and design.

Using Smartphone Apps to Promote Psychiatric Rehabilitation in a Peer-led Community Support Program (Preprint)
Authors: Mueller Nora E , Panch Trishan , Macias Cathaleene , Cohen Bruce M , Ongur Dost , Baker Justin T
Published: February 2018

BACKGROUND

Management of severe and persistent mental illness is a complex, resource-intensive challenge for individuals, their families, their treaters, and the healthcare system at large. Community based rehabilitation, in which peer specialists provide support for individuals managing their own condition, has demonstrated effectiveness, but has only been implemented in specialty centers. It remains unclear how the peer based community rehabilitation model could be expanded, given that it requires significant resources to both establish and maintain.

OBJECTIVE

Here, we describe the results from a study of one such program implemented within Waverley Place, a community support program at McLean Hospital emphasizing psychiatric rehabilitation for individuals with severe and persistent mental illness. Key questions were whether the patients could and would successfully use the app.

METHODS

The smartphone app offered multiple features relevant to psychiatric rehabilitation, including daily task lists and text messaging with peer specialists. Thirteen patients downloaded the app and used it for up to 90 days.

RESULTS

Only two patients were not able to complete app installation. Five patients were able to use the app regularly as part of their daily lives. No demographic or clinical features predicted ability to use the app in this way, but receiving a message from the certified peer specialist on the first day after installing the app did. Reasons for success or failure were highly individualistic.

CONCLUSIONS

Smartphone apps may become a useful tool for psychiatric rehabilitation, addressing both psychiatric and co-occurring medical problems. Individualizing functions to each patient and facilitating connection with a certified peer specialist may be an important feature of useful apps.
Patient-Reported Outcome of Physical Therapy in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Observational Online Study (Preprint)
Authors: Meyer Robert , Spittel Susanne , Steinfurth Laura , Funke Andreas , Kettemann Dagmar , Münch Christoph , Meyer Thomas , Maier André
Published: February 2018

BACKGROUND

Physical therapy is an essential component of multidisciplinary treatment in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, the meaning of physical therapy beside preservation of muscular strength and functional maintenance is not fully understood.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study was to examine patients’ perception of physical therapy during symptom progression using an internet assessment approach.

METHODS

A prospective, longitudinal, observational study was performed. Recruitment took place in an ALS center in Berlin, Germany. Online self-assessment was established on a case management platform over 6 months. Participants self-assessed the progression of the disease with the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) and tracked the efficacy of targeted physical therapy using Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile (MYMOP). We used the net promoter score (NPS) to inquire into recommendation levels of physical therapy.

RESULTS

Forty-five participants with ALS were included in the study. Twenty-seven (60.0%) started the online assessment. The mean duration of physical therapy sessions per week was 142.7 minutes (SD 60.4) with a mean frequency of 2.9 (SD 1.2) per week. As defined by MYMOP input, the most concerning symptoms were reported in the legs (62.2%), arms (31.1%), and less frequently in the torso (6.7%). As expected for a progressive disease, there was a functional decline of 3 points in the ALSFRS-R at the end of the observation period (n=20). Furthermore, the MYMOP showed a significant loss of 0.8 in the composite score, 0.9 in the activity score and 0.8 in the targeted symptom. In spite of functional decline, the recommendation for physical therapy jumped from a baseline value of 20 NPS points to a very high 50 points at the end of study (P=.05).

CONCLUSIONS

Physical therapy is perceived as an important treatment method by patients with ALS. Despite functional deterioration, patients are satisfied with physical therapy and recommend this intervention. The results also underline how the meaning of physical therapy changes throughout the disease. Physical therapy in ALS has to be regarded as a supportive and palliative health care intervention beyond functional outcome parameters.

Background and Objectives: Physician nutrition counseling has become increasingly important due to increases in child and adult obesity. However, medical student education on nutrition counseling, especially for low-income families, is insufficient.
Methods: Eat Healthy, Stay Active! (EHSA) is a community-based child obesity program that provided experiential learning for medical students to counsel low-income Head Start families about nutrition. The authors conducted a focus group to explore medical students’ opinions about the proficiency of their nutrition education skills, especially in low-income families, and the role of EHSA. The authors also surveyed students about their self-confidence in providing low-income families with nutrition counseling.
Results: Most students reported a favorable overall impression of EHSA with a mean score of 7 on a 10-point scale (1=poor experience, 10=very positive experience) and 70% reporting they would recommend EHSA to their classmates. They also reported a significant (80%, P< 0.0001) increase in their confidence of counseling patients about child obesity after participating in EHSA. In focus groups, students felt that EHSA improved their nutrition knowledge and helped them to understand barriers of low-income families for healthy nutrition.
Conclusions: Students participating in EHSA, a novel, community-based, experiential learning project, gained self-confidence in providing nutrition counseling to low-income families. The program also positively impacted medical student personal opinions of low-income families by providing a personal reference for low-income struggles.
Virtuális valóság az oktatásban - Ment-e a VR által az oktatás elébb?
Authors: Aczél Petra
Published: February 2018

2016-ot ugyan a virtuális valóság évének nevezték (virtual reality, VR), de a technológia áttörését mégsem hozta el. Az elmaradt siker is fontos jelzés arra, hogy érdemes a VR társadalmi érvényességének komplex kérdésével, kihívásaival foglalkoznunk. Jelen tanulmány ennek egy speciális területére, az oktatási célú VR-ra összpontosít. Miközben kutatása már az 1990-es évek közepétől megélénkült, legalábbis a nemzetközi színtéren, a próféciákkal és várakozásokkal szemben a legutóbbi időkig nem látunk lényegi változást az oktatási célú VR terjedésében (sem). Habár a tudományos vizsgálatok azt bizonyítják, hogy a VR hatásai az oktatás hatékonyságára, a tanulás eredményességére alapvetően pozitívak, egyebek mellett a technológia ára, a szükséges infrastrukturális feltételek, a digitális szakadék(ok) és a hiányzó kompetenciák egyelőre hátráltatják érvényesülését a pedagógiai stratégiákban. A tanulmány bemutatja az oktatási célú VR-ral kapcsolatos meghatározó elméleteket, kutatási témákat, kitér a VR és a tanulás módszertani összefüggéseire, a technológia tervezésének szempontjaira és az oktatási VR időszerű kihívásaira. Egyúttal bemutatja az oktatói célcsoportban a VR alkalmazásával kapcsolatban az utóbbi években végzett felmérések eredményeit, annak érdekében, hogy az oktatási VR aktuális helyzetéről reális képet nyújtson.

Virtual reality in education - has education progressed thanks to VR?

2016 was proclaimed the ‘year of virtual reality’ (VR) – without any significant breakthrough in its adoption again. The missed opportunity for success, however, could be an important indication that we concentrate more on the social forces and challenges this technology entails. The present paper focuses on a specific field in VR, that is, on educational VR. Although international research work on educational VR has been fuelled by emerging platforms since the middle of the 1990s, its diffusion and adoption have been significantly lagging behind what technological forecasts and expectations predicted. While scientific research has proven that the effects of educational VR on learning are generally positive, conditions such as its cost, inefficient infrastructure, the digital divide(s) and lack of skills, among other factors, hinder its flexible integration into pedagogical strategies. The paper aims to introduce the definitive theoretical framework and research topics of educational VR, casting light upon the methodological connection between educational VR and forms of learning, designing educational VR and its present challenges. Recent studies and surveys concerning the adoption and use of educational VR by teachers, instructors and professors will also be discussed in order to provide a more realistic description of the state of educational VR in global and Hungarian contexts.

Az adattudatosság szintjei és útjai
Authors: Benkő Lívia
Published: February 2018

Az adatrobbanásból nem egyedül a kereskedelmi szektor profitál, mivel növekvőben van azoknak a nonprofit kezdeményezéseknek, illetve kormányzati intézkedéseknek a száma, melyeknek középpontjában a civilektől jövő adatok begyűjtése áll. Publikációmban szeretném szemléltetni az adattudatosság különböző kontextusait: az adatvédelem és a magánszféra értelmezésével kezdem, majd bemutatom, hogy milyen kutatások vizsgálták a magánszféra kérdéseit. Ahhoz, hogy megértsük, milyen skálán mozog az adattudatosság, a két végletet kell megismerni, vagyis egyfelől azokat a nemzetközi kezdeményezéseket, melyek arra irányulnak, hogy civilek járuljanak hozzá személyes adataikkal egy társadalmi ügy vagy probléma megoldásához, másfelől ugyanígy fontos azoknak a negatív implikációknak a vizsgálata, melyek a fogyasztókat elriasztják a személyes adataik kiadásától. A viselkedésalapú adatok megosztását a földrajzi, kulturális, gazdasági, történelmi tényezők mellett befolyásolhatja, hogy egy adott ország vállalati, kormányzati, szakmai szervezetei mennyire készítik fel az állampolgárokat a digitális forradalomra. Írásomban ezért áttekintést adok arról is, hogy Magyarországon a hatóságok, a civil szféra és a szakmai szervezetek milyen mértékben foglalkoznak a változó világ kihívásaival.

The levels and ways of data literacy

It is not only the commercial sector that benefits from the data boom since there is an increasing number of non-profit initiatives and governmental measures that focus on data collected from civil society. In my publication I intend to illustrate the different contexts of data awareness: I will start by analysing data protection and privacy, then I will review research that has been exploring issues of privacy. For us to understand the scale that data awareness is measured on, we need to acquaint ourselves with the two extremes: namely, international initiatives aimed at triggering the engagement of civil society in solving social issues or problems by providing their personal data, and researching the negative implications that deter consumers from providing their personal data. Both are important. Besides geographical, cultural, economic and historical factors, sharing behavioural information can be influenced by the extent to which companies, governmental and professional organisations in a given country prepare their citizens for the digital revolution. So I will also provide an overview of how much authorities, civil society and professional organisations in Hungary deal with the challenges of a changing world.

Published: February 2018

Herein, a facile one step synthesis of Ni?Cu supported on TiO2 alloy nanoparticles through the polyol method, which reflect high catalytic performance in enzymeless electrochemical glucose sensing and applied onto glassy carbon, is reported. The morphology imaging and physical properties of the Ni?Cu/TiO2 nanocomposite were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The electrochemical studies/characterizations of glucose oxidation were realised in a basic medium and the new sensor was found to be a better electrochemical glucose sensor than Ni/TiO2/Ti and CuO/TiO2/Ti modified electrodes. The fabricated sensor was highly sensitive (719.9 ?A mM-1 cm-2), had a wide linear range (from 0.1 to 6 mM), selective and tolerant towards endogenous species, such as ascorbic acid, uric acid, acetaminophen and sodium chloride.
