Der Film im Nationalsozialismus
Authors: Jacobsen Wolfgang
Published: February 2022

Keine Phase der deutschen Filmgeschichte ist so viel diskutiert – und bis heute problematisch – wie die Jahre unter dem Banner des Nationalsozialismus.

Wie wird Geschichte erlebt? Auch in Filmen, Spielfilmen zumal? Was muss die Geschichte auslassen, um sich selbst zu konstituieren? Und was klammern Filme aus, hier besonders solche, die im nationalsozialistischen Deutschland entstanden? Ein "verruchtes Erbe" nannte der Filmwissenschaftler Karsten Witte einmal jene Filme. In Aus- und Eindruck insgesamt eine amorphe Produktion. Geschuldet der Gefolgschaft derer, die sich in der Filmproduktion der Zeit in Dienst nehmen ließen, ihrem Opportunismus und auch jenem versuchten Ausweichen der nicht bedingungslos Willfährigen. Die Mehrzahl der Filme dieser Epoche deutscher Geschichte gehören zum Material, das einer Komparserie des Bösen verbunden ist. Sie dienten einer autoritären Eingewöhnung und propagierten das Konzept der "Volksgemeinschaft". Diese Darstellung des Films im Nationalsozialismus versucht in einer kompakten Montage von Daten, Tatsachen und Befunden sowie szenischen Eindrücken, unterlegt mit einer Ebene subjektiver Einwürfe von Exilanten und Verfolgten, diesen Abschnitt deutscher Filmgeschichte nachvollziehbar zu beschreiben.

Authors: Mesina Cristian , Viorel Dumitrescu Theodor , Calin Ciorbagiu Mihai , Vasile Obleaga Cosmin , Mesina Botoran Mihaela-Iustina
Published: February 2022

Diverticular disease is one of the most common problems encountered by general surgeons and gastroenterologists. The term refers to complications that occur from colonic diverticulosis. In diverticular colonic disease the sigmoid colon is usually the most commonly involved, while right acute colonic diverticulitis is rarer. In establishing the diagnosis of ALCD, objective clinical examination plays an important role in addition to biological paraclinical examinations (C-reactive protein - CRP and increased leukocyte count) and radiological paraclinical examinations: CT abdomen. CRP is a useful tool in predicting the clinical severity of acute diverticulitis. The treatment applied to patients with uncomplicated colonic diverticular disease can be represented by antibiotic therapy, water regime, hydro-electrolytic rebalancing. In patients with multiple comorbidities, hemodynamic instability, the Hartmann procedure is recommended for the treatment of acute peritonitis caused by perforated colonic diverticulitis and in hemodynamically stable patients without comorbidities, colonic resection with primary anastomosis with or without stoma is suggested.
On the Design of Total Water Use-Based Incentive Schemes for Groundwater Management
Authors: Mattoussi Wided , Salah Matoussi Mohamed , Mattoussi Foued
Published: February 2022

Groundwater over-pumping by manipulating water meters may constraint the efficient use of the resource, leading to the potential aquifers’ deterioration. Well designed institutional arrangements might be effective at reducing over-exploitation. The objective of this research was to shed light on the design of various incentive schemes to face groundwater over-pumping ranging from individual water use-based incentive schemes, where individual withdrawals are the users’ private information, to total water use-based incentive schemes, where the aggregate withdrawal is publicly observable. For the latter setting, two schemes were proposed. The first one is within the framework of moral hazard in teams, where the Water Authority administers monetary incentives that do not balance the budget, restoring thereby the full-information outcome. The second scheme promotes a cooperative management governed by a collective responsibility rule that induces peer monitoring by members. We show that groundwater overuse is more likely when monitoring costs are high, punishments are weak and cooperatives are large. We also show how the cooperative size and punishments are determined endogenously by constraints on monitoring. We extend the basic analysis to study collusion in monitoring between cooperative members and compare different monitoring structures. The results confirm that well-designed incentives and institutions can reduce groundwater over-exploitation, and that constraints on monitoring costs affect institutional design.
Rural Development System in Nigeria and the Veering Locus from China’s Successful Strategies
Authors: Adesokan Lawal-Adebowale Okanlade
Published: February 2022

Development of the rural areas calls for the provision of basic infrastructure and social amenities with a view to enhancing the quality of life in the environments. Attainment of rural development, however, depends on pragmatic and conscientious planning, and the political-will to have the development plans was effectively implemented. The essentiality of these actions is highly reflected in the revolutionary transformation of China’s rural system, with the resultant rapid economic growth and poverty reduction in the country, put at 8–9% per annum. Nigeria though had transformation-oriented rural development programs that are similar to those of China, none of the programs had visible or sustainable impacts in the country’s rural life. A critical analysis of the causal failure of Nigeria’s rural development programs in relation to the recorded successes in China shows that implementations of Nigeria’s rural development programs veered from the locus of the political-will that forms the strength of the recorded successes by China. Rethinking the paradigm of rural development in Nigeria unequivocally calls for modeling the country’s rural program implementations alongside the strength of the political-will adopted by China for attainment of the much desired rural transformation and sustainable development in Nigeria.
Effects of Various Dentofacial Orthopedic and Orthognathic Treatment Modalities on Pharyngeal Airway
Authors: Pradhan Tejashri , Sethia Aarti
Published: February 2022

The function of respiration is highly relevant to orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Significant relationships between pharyngeal, craniofacial as well as dentofacial structures have been reported in several studies. Many authors have emphasized that mouth breathing is concomitantly associated with constricted airway causing obstructive sleep apnoea. Associated symptoms can be cured with correction of either skeletal or dental problems or both. Therefore it would be very intriguing to understand and interpret the airway during diagnosis and treatment planning for a clear view of changes in the airway dimensions during the course of orthodontic treatment using various treatment modalities. Therefore a complete understanding of the concept of airway should be considered as an important one. This chapter gives us an insight to the intricate detailing on how the various orthodontic and dentofacial orthopedic treatment signifies the changes in the dimensions of pharyngeal airway.
Lipofilling in Post-Treatment Oral Dysfunction in Head and Neck Cancer Patients
Authors: Neijman Marise , Karsten R.T. , van der Molen L. , Lapid O. , van den Brekel M.W.M.
Published: February 2022

Lipofilling is a new treatment option for head- and neck cancer patients who suffer from chronic and severe (chemo-) radiation or surgery-related swallowing problems. Lipofilling is a technique of autologous grafting in which living fat cells are transplanted from one location to another in the same patient. In the case of head and neck cancer patients, volume loss or muscle atrophy of the tongue or pharyngeal musculature caused by the treatment may result in oropharyngeal dysfunction. Firstly, intensive swallowing therapy will be given, but if that offers no further improvement and the functional problems persist, lipofilling can be considered. By transplantation of autologous adipose tissue, the functional outcomes might improve by compensating the existing tissue defects or tissue loss. Only a few studies have been published which evaluated the effectiveness of this new treatment option. The results of those studies show that the lipofilling technique seems safe and of potential value for improving swallowing function in some of the included patients with chronic and severe dysphagia after surgery and/or (chemo-) radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. The lipofilling procedure will be described in detail as well as the clinical implications.

Authors: Kabunga Amir , Eze Chika , Selepe Mandu
Published: February 2022

The outbreak of COVID-19 necessitated professional trained psychologists to offer voluntary services leading to online paradigm of counseling intervention. This chapter presents the challenges and compromises some counselors encountered when they assisted individuals who were either infected or affected by COVID-19. The chapter also presented the narratives collected from social media, personal experiences of the authors and communications with their colleagues from Nigeria, South Africa and Uganda. It was realized that counselors faced challenges such as lack of experience, poor internet availability, threatened clients’ perceived privacy and data security and financial implications. Based on the challenges and compromises, the authors recommended counseling regulatory bodies within African countries should generate operative policies to guide provision of e-counseling services. It was also recommended that e-counseling be integrated into its curriculum in order to adequately prepare the student counselors to be effective and efficient e-counselors. The chapter recommended that policy makers of counseling bodies liaison with network providers in alliance with government to negotiate a sustainable service provision, which ought to facilitate telepsychology. The chapter concluded that the COVID-19 counselors are charged with the responsibility of integrating traditional counseling approaches with telepsychology in order to provide relevant services to the clients who need their services.
Virtual Robotics in Hybrid Teaching and Learning
Authors: Mistretta Sharon
Published: February 2022

Traditional robotics instruction in face-to-face classrooms, after-school clubs, and independent competition environments align with expensive, physical robot kits shared by students. Students or parent groups often elect themselves because of previous experience, expertise, or perceived technical ability to dominate the physical robotic platforms’ planning, engineering, building, and subsequent programming. This self-elected grabbing of control leaves students who are not regarded as well-positioned to contribute sidelined to observe the self-appointed experts of the group. Virtual robotics platforms provide educators and coaches with the unique opportunity to give every student access to a robot. Each student learns programming, math, and scientific forces that impact robots through simulated physics algorithms. With their customizable virtual environments, virtual robotics platforms such as Vex VR and Robot Virtual Worlds level the playing field. All students can learn, practice, and subsequently contribute to robotics-centered group projects or competitive teams in meaningful ways. This book chapter delineates the strategies to implement virtual robotics in hybrid classroom environments supported by the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework. Additionally, this chapter reviews how computer-aided design and augmented reality platforms provide students with the opportunity to incorporate 3D objects into virtual worlds.
Renal Elastography for the Assessment of Chronic Kidney Disease
Authors: Bob Flaviu
Published: February 2022

For the assessment of chronic kidney disease, point shear wave elastography (pSWE) and shear wave speed imaging (2D-SWE) are suitable, but the use of elastography in the assessment of the kidneys is more difficult compared to the use in other organs, because of the complex architecture of the kidneys, characterized by a high anisotropy and also by the limited size of the renal parenchyma, where the measurements are performed. Despite the difficulties of renal elastography, the reproducibility of the method is good. Kidney shear wave speed values are influenced mainly by age and gender, while in chronic kidney disease, renal stiffness is sometimes decreased in more advanced disease and is not influenced mainly by the progression of fibrosis. There are studies proving that a decreased renal blood flow is associated with a decrease in kidney shear wave speed, the fact that could explain why patients with CKD tend to have lower kidney stiffness. Elastography is a real-time imaging method that could be useful in the assessment of the kidneys, but more extensive studies and even some improvements of the processing algorithms of raw data of elastography machines seem to be needed to implement the use in clinical practice.
NOMA Transmission Systems: Overview of SIC Design and New Findings
Authors: Beatriz Rodríguez Estrello Carmen , Ramos-Alarcón Fernando , Kontorovich Valeri
Published: February 2022

Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) has been recently proposed as a good alternative to meet 5G and beyond requirements in terms of high spectral efficiency, massive connectivity, and low latency. It has been demonstrated that the use of NOMA in downlink has superior performance in terms of throughput, whereas the use in uplink outperforms OMA techniques in terms of fairness. A distinctive feature of NOMA is the presence of excessive multiple-access interference due to the case of usage of power domain to multiplex signals, thus the functional implementation of NOMA implies Successive Interference Cancelation (SIC) to combat this interference. Therefore, SIC design becomes the main point in the effectiveness of NOMA systems. On the other hand, hybrid schemes, NOMA/OMA, have been recently proposed to reduce the drawbacks of pure NOMA systems. However, in these schemes, it becomes necessary to distinguish NOMA and OMA users. Cognitive Radio techniques turn to be a good option to effectively separate NOMA/OMA users as well as to distinguish NOMA users. In this chapter, a brief overview of NOMA techniques related to Cognitive Radio technology (CR-NOMA) and SIC design reported in the literature is presented. Also, new findings about NOMA/OMA users’ recognition are described.

Published: February 2022

Cardiovascular diseases are amongst the main causes of death worldwide, and the main underlying pathological process is atherosclerosis. Over the years, fatty materials are accumulated in the arterial which consequently hinders the blood flow. Due to the great mortality rate of this disease, hemodynamic studies within stenotic arteries have been of great clinical interest, and computational methods have played an important role. Commonly, computational fluid dynamics methods, where only the blood flow behavior is considered, however, the study of both blood and artery walls’ interaction is of foremost importance. In this regard, in the present study, both computational fluid dynamics and fluid-structure interaction modeling analysis were performed in order to evaluate if the arterial wall compliance affects considerably the hemodynamic results obtained in idealized stenotic coronary models. From the overall results, it was observed that the influence of wall compliance was noteworthy on wall shear stress distribution, but its effect on the time-averaged wall shear stress and on the oscillatory shear index was minor.
Mineral Physics
Authors: Cooper Liebermann Robert
Published: February 2022

Mineral physics emerged as an independent discipline of Earth sciences in the middle of the 20th century, drawing together geophysics and mineralogy. Using the principles of condensed matter physics and solid-state chemistry, it focuses on exploring how physical properties of minerals depend on atomic structure. With the advent of new experimental tools (e.g., automated X-ray diffractometers, electron microscopes, various spectrometric techniques, digital computers and synchrotron X-radiation sources) in the past 70 years, geophysicists and mineralogists began to talk with one another.
Gummy Smile and Treatment with Botulinum Toxin Type A (Botox)
Authors: Katbeh Imad , Osama Makkeiah Mohammad , Kosyreva Tamara , Saneeva Lada
Published: February 2022

A smile plays an important role in determining a person’s initial impression, and its assessment has become integral to clinical evaluation. A smile with an esthetic appearance should be symmetrical and should reveal less than 2 mm of gums when smiling. A gingival smile, gummy smile, or high smile line, is defined as the number of excess gums on the upper jaw exposed. This may have some serious psychological repercussions on the patient, which may sometimes lead them to conceal their smile to avoid “embarrassment.” One of the most common methods of treating a gingival smile resulting from an overactive lip is lip reposition as a surgical procedure and the injection of type A (Botox) toxin as an injectable inhibitor of muscle action. However, many patients refrain from surgical treatment because of fear of complications and pain. In this case, injections of botulinum toxin group A are an excellent alternative to surgery. The injection of botulinum toxin takes less time and with the correct dosage and compliance with the protocol of its administration causes much fewer complications. The study presented here is devoted to the disclosure of the potential of this tool in esthetic dentistry.
Role of Activated Cdc42-Associated Kinase 1 (ACK1/TNK2)-Inhibitors in Precision Oncology
Authors: Srivastava Ruby
Published: February 2022

Activated Cdc42-associated kinase 1 (ACK1) is an intracellular non-receptor tyrosine kinase referred to as TNK2, which is considered as an oncogene and therapeutic target in various cancers including breast cancer, non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and many others. Oncogenic non-receptor tyrosine kinase mutations occur either due to point mutations, duplications or insertions and deletions, or by involving in the development of a fusion gene resulting from a chromosomal rearrangement. ACK1 is involved with multiple signaling pathways of tumor progression. With these signaling networks, ACK1 participates in cell survival, invasion, migration, and tumorigenesis that are strongly related to the prognosis and clinicopathology of cancers. Previous studies predicted that ACK1 is a carcinogenic factor and blockage of ACK1 inhibits cancer cell survival, proliferation, migration, and radiation resistance. FDA has approved many multi-kinase inhibitors as therapeutic drugs that show good inhibitory activity not against ACK1 but also towards multiple targets. As ACK1 is a key target for other neurological diseases, inflammation, and immunological diseases also, so the studies on these inhibitors not only provide potential strategies for the treatment of cancers that require simultaneous targeting of multiple targets but also can be used in drug repurposing for other diseases.
Endometriosis and Cancer
Authors: Kumar Giri Sushil , Nayak Bhagyalaxmi
Published: February 2022

Endometriosis is a chronic debilitating inflammatory disease of women, with the growth of ectopic endometrium in extrauterine sites like rectovaginal septum, peritoneal surfaces, or ovaries, etc. Though endometriosis is not regarded as a malignant disorder, it does have some features common to malignant disease. They are; local and distant metastasis, invasion and destruction to adjacent structures, unrestricted growth, development of new blood vessels. The association between endometriosis and ovarian, endometrial, and cervical cancers and between endometriosis and extra-ovarian malignancies has been reported in different kinds of literature. Clear cell and endometrioid ovarian carcinomas are presumed to have developed from endometriosis. Ovarian seromucinous borderline tumors, low-grade serous ovarian carcinomas, adenosarcoma, and endometrial stromal sarcomas may also arise from endometriosis. However, it is not very clear whether endometriosis has undergone malignant transformation or simply is found co-existent with cancer. Endometriosis itself may increase a woman’s risk of developing non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, malignant melanoma, and breast cancer.

Authors: Can Karaca Asli
Published: February 2022

Seeds such as quinoa, amaranth, chia, and teff are considered as potential sources of plant-based proteins for human consumption. Proteins isolated from pseudocereal grains have the potential to serve as nutritious alternatives to animal-based proteins for various food applications. Quinoa, amaranth, and chia proteins are among the most extensively studied pseudocereal proteins for the characterization of structural, physicochemical, and functional properties. This chapter will review the recent studies on composition, structural characteristics, physicochemical and functional properties of proteins isolated from pseudocereal grains, will discuss several modifications applied for improvement of functional properties and some potential end-product applications.
The impact of nomophobia and smartphone presence on fluid intelligence and attention
Authors: Schwaiger Elizabeth , Tahir Rameen
Published: February 2022

Nomophobia and even simply the presence of smartphones has an impact on attention and performance, likely through the cognitive mechanism of reduced working memory capacity. When a smartphone, a personally relevant stimulus, is present, working memory capacity is utilized leading to a reduction in the ability to inhibit responses and therefore difficulty with complex attentional tasks. With the increase in smartphone ownership, especially among young adults in developing nations and their proliferation in undergraduate classrooms, it becomes important to understand their cognitive impact in this demographic of users. Therefore, this study evaluated the impact of the presence of undergraduate students’ smartphones on their performance on a non-verbal reasoning task, as well as a series of simple to complex attentional tasks. A total of 154 Pakistani undergraduate students participated in this study. Results demonstrated that the presence or absence of the students’ smartphones did not affect fluid non-verbal intelligence or simple attentional tasks. However, the level of fear of being without their smartphone was correlated with non-verbal fluid intelligence and simple attention. Importantly, when the students’ smartphones were present, they experienced difficulty with a more complex attentional task, regardless of the level of nomophobia. Given the need for fluid reasoning and the complex nature of most material covered within the undergraduate classroom context, this finding indicates a need for education about the detrimental nature of smartphone presence on complex attention, as well as the relationship between nomophobia and fluid reasoning and attention. Implications also include a need for institutional policies clarifying appropriate use of smartphones in the classroom.

The second chapter talks about the development of disability studies and its key points such as the intersection of activism and academia, the social model of disability, or interconnection of various disciplines. The ways of thinking about ability, disability, normal and abnormal bodies and people, are highly formed by the society – by education, media, expert and lay discourses ranging from medicine to social policy – and influence how cities, streets and houses are designed. Therefore, the aim of disability studies is to change the discourses and modes of behavior so that they are more inclusive. The chapter discusses beginnings of this field at the interconnections of activism and academia, and its difficult position in the Czech Republic, where it is not an established major at any university. Here, especially the public discourse revolves around the medical model of disability that sees the core of the problem in one’s impairment, instead of focusing on disabling processes leading to discrimination, which the social model of disability, pivotal for disability studies, does. However, the chapter also discusses various critiques of the social model. It tends to unify disability and thus overlooks individual differences, as well as differences between diverse regions. As a reaction to these critiques, critical disability studies were established at the beginning of 21st century. They raise questions about relevance of some older concepts and premises of disability studies in the postmodern world and late capitalism. Critical disability studies challenge the very differentiation between normality and abnormality and at the related binaries on which disability is built. Departing from the humanist perspective of the social model, CDS adopt a posthumanist perspective abandoning the notion of an independent, autonomous, Subject. They focus on interconnectivity of the social and the material, the human and the nonhuman, the organic and the inorganic. Instead of the “capability and usability of the body,” critical disability studies ask about the meanings of “ability and disability.”
Politiky zpřístupňování městského prostoru v České republice
Authors: Línová Jana
Published: February 2022

The fifth chapter discusses policies and planning of accessible public space. The text works with the approaches of universal design and tactical urbanism and applies them to concrete practical examples. It demonstrates the limits of various space designs and introduces their possible complementarity with the aim to give an overview of practical examples of municipal efforts to make public space accessible. The data collected via semi-structured interviews and the analysis of conceptional and strategic municipal documents in the Czech Republic identified cities (Brno, Olomouc, Pardubice a Praha), which have already institutionalized the agenda of barrier-free space. These cities can be placed on a timescale corresponding to subsequent phases of this institutionalization, with Olomouc being at front (after 18 years of experience with accessibility policies) and Brno, which started to remove barriers systematically only in 2017, at the opposite side. Urban municipalities use diverse tools and define their goals for in strategies and conceptions that serve as guides for multiple working groups. Some of these groups have their own budgets, in which European and state support can be used. The working groups usually belong under one of three types based on their activities: the actual barrier-removing work, conceptional and methodic work and educational work. Most visible results are usually found in public transport (public transport stops, crossings, lowering sidewalk and traffic island curbs, etc.). Strategic and systematic effort in removing barriers, which has been carried out by these four cities, can undoubtedly be an inspiration for other municipalities.
Brněnský archiv příkladů dobré praxe: proč ne Metodika?
Authors: Doboš Pavel , Osman Robert , Šerý Ondřej , Kaplan Daniel , Surmařová Simona , Škop Stanislav
Published: February 2022

The ninth chapter presents Examples of good practice for the creation of accessible urban space, which have been practiced by multiple actors in Brno city under specific circumstances and which can serve as inspiration and motivation for other municipalities in their barrier-free policies and practice. While being the source for inspiration can be their principal goal, another goal is to archive the good practice. The authors start the chapter defining themselves against methods guidelines for barrier-free space; methods are introduced as a certain conceptual tool for strict, systematic and universal creation of barrier-free/accessible space, which can be too binding and less open to eventual changes. On the other hand, Examples of good practice represent a different approach, open to eventual developments, unexpected phenomena and trying to inspire for creation of accessible space everywhere and every time, in pragmatic, unprecedented and diverse ways. As has been indicated above, Methods guides for barrier-free space can be bound by three universalities, which usually prevent experimenting and creativity. Examples of good practice aim to inspire and incent creativity, and thus represent a universal “will” to be creative, unhinged and active. Each example consists of several parts: Illustrative story presenting the barriers and related pitfalls by describing the original situation and the need for intervention; Analysis concentrating on the pitfalls; Suggested solution with a discussion; a Concrete realization in Brno city, showing the concrete process of dealing with the so-far describe accessibility; then Solution limits are presented; Conclusion, which offers insight for future application, and Time axis outlining the whole process from a chronological perspective. Each Example is also documented by photographs showing the original state full of barriers and pitfalls, and the state when a chosen solution has been realized.

Published: February 2022

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) belongs to the group of autoimmune blistering diseases. PV can affect not only mucous membranes, but also the skin and it is characterized by serum IgG autoantibodies against desmoglein 1 and 3, two major components of desmosomes. The introduction of glucocorticoids improved dramatically the prognosis of patients affected by PV.  However, long-term use of high dose corticosteroids and adjuvant steroid-sparing immunosuppressants can lead to several adverse events. Rituximab, a chimeric anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, has been recently approved as in-label therapy for PV, leading to an improvement of the prognosis and higher remission rate. Furthermore, other anti B-cell therapies and several anti-CD20 biosimilars have been introduced in the clinical practice. We focused on present and future therapeutic approaches in PV

To this day no consensus has been reached concerning the authorship of the 3rd book of Philoponus’ on the Soul. I will begin this article by surveying the discussion of the authorship. In this first section I go into some detail concerning the arguments of scholars who attribute the DAC 3 to Philoponus, and those who do not believe that it is by Philoponus, including those who attribute it to Stephanus of Alexandria. The second section of the paper consists in an analysis and evaluation of the arguments involved in the debate. Finally, I conclude by presenting my own position, including new arguments in favor of the attribution of the DAC 3 to John Philoponus.

Aristotle presents two different approaches to riddle in the Poetics and the Rhetoric. In this paper, I intend to argue that, despite meaningful differences, these two views on riddle are not contradictory, but rather complementary. Taken together, they provide a valuable explanation of the structure, as well as the cognitive function, of riddle.
Is Edith Stein’s Finite and Eternal Being a Kind of “Phenomenological Metaphysics”?
Authors: Sharkey Sarah Borden ,   Canadian Society for Continental Philosophy
Published: February 2022

One striking feature of Finite and Eternal Being is Edith Stein’s exceedingly rare use of the term “metaphysics.” She uses the term “formal ontology” numerous times, but the term “metaphysics” only appears a handful of times in the body of the text, and even those references are themselves a bit surprising. This could be explained in several ways, some of which may be quite innocent and have nothing to do with whether she understands her project as metaphysical. In the following, however, I would like to explore a differing explanation and argue that (at least, in part) her reason for avoiding describing her work as metaphysical is connected with the type of philosophical critique she wants to make of traditional metaphysics. I will not argue that Finite and Eternal Being should ultimately be read as a phenomenological analysis of being rather than any sort of metaphysical treatise, but I will argue that Stein has explicitly phenomenological reasons for being cautious about using the term “metaphysics.”

RESUMO Objetivo: compreender o desenvolvimento de habilidades pessoais dos familiares de pessoas com acidente vascular cerebral no âmbito hospitalar, na perspectiva da promoção da saúde. Método: pesquisa ação-participante, de abordagem qualitativa, fundamentada no itinerário de pesquisa de Paulo Freire, que prevê em suas etapas (investigação temática, codificação/descodificação e desvelamento crítico) o procedimento de investigação dos temas e o processo analítico. O estudo foi operacionalizado em quatro círculos de cultura, com 16 cuidadoras, em uma unidade hospitalar pública de cuidados às pessoas com acidente vascular cerebral. Resultados: foram desveladas três temáticas predominantes: relação familiar, ser cuidador e empoderamento/autonomia, sendo identificadas as fragilidades e desafios encontrados no contexto do cuidado no ambiente hospitalar, destacando-se a insegurança dos familiares no tornar-se cuidador e frente aos cuidados na transição para o ambiente domiciliar, dificuldades no desenvolvimento de autonomia e os conflitos gerados nas relações familiares. Conclusão: as práticas profissionais centralizadas nas questões biológicas distanciam-se de ações promotoras de saúde e, dessa forma, não são desenvolvidas as habilidades necessárias para os familiares realizarem o cuidado após a alta hospitalar. Esses resultados podem contribuir para reflexão da equipe multiprofissional no direcionamento de estratégias educativas ao cuidador familiar, garantindo a transição segura do cuidado.
On p-topological groups
Authors: Jafari Saeid , Gnanachandra Paulraj , Kumar Arumugam
Published: February 2022

In this paper, we introduce the notions of p-topological group and p-irresolute topological group which are generalizations of the notion topological group. We discuss the properties of p-topological groups with illustrative examples and we provide a connected p-topological group on any group G whose cardinality is not equal to 2. Also, we prove that translations and inversion in p-topological group are phomeomorphism and demonstrate that every p-topological group is phomogenous which leads to check whether a topology on a group satisfies the conditions of p-topological group or not.
Serial relation and textural rough set
Authors: Dost Şenol
Published: February 2022

The generalized rough set theory is based on the lower and upper approximation operators defined on the binary relation. The rough sets obtained from serial relations take an important place in topological applications. In this paper, we consider serial relation for texture spaces. A texturing U of a set U is a complete and completely distributive lattice of subset of the power set P(U) which satisfies some certain conditions. Serial relation is defined by using textural sections and presections under a direlation on a texturing. We give some properties of serial direlation and a discussion on rough set theory from the textural point of view under serial direlation. Further, the concept of serial direlation has been characterized in terms of lower and upper textural approximation operators.

Published: February 2022

A Kirchhoff equation type with memory term competing with a logarithmic source is considered. By using potential well theory, we obtained the global existence of solution for the initial data in a stability set created from Nehari Manifold and prove blow up results for initial data in the instability set.
Comparative analysis of power distribution, exergy losses and exergy efficiencies of the 200 MW steam turbine for three operating modes with and without turbine steam extraction
Authors: Ćehajić Nurdin , Hafizović Sabiha
Published: February 2022

The paper calculates the power, exergy losses and exergy efficiencies of the high, medium and low pressure steam turbine, as well as the total exergy losses and exergy efficiency of the 200 MW steam turbine. The calculation was performed for three modes of operation of the steam turbine with a load of 100%, 90% and 80%. For all three operating modes, the calculation of the analyzed parameters includes the operation of the steam turbine with and without turbine steam extraction. Based on the obtained results, a comparative analysis of steam turbine parameters was performed for all three operating modes and for operation with and without turbine steam extraction. Comparative analysis of the obtained results will show the influence of different operating modes of steam turbine with and without turbine steam removal on power, exergy losses and exergy efficiency of each module individually, but also on the total values of analyzed steam turbine parameters. The comparative analysis will also include the influence of mass steam flows from all turbine subtractions on the total steam turbine power losses for the three operating modes.
Analysis of optimization possibilities of slat conveyor drives
Authors: Živanić Dragan , Ilanković Nikola
Published: February 2022

The paper presents an analysis of the possibility of optimizing the drive of slat conveyors, which primarily refers to the choice of the drive chain and the number of drive units. The basic characteristics of slat conveyors, as a mean of continuous transport, procedures for calculating the basic parameters and the choice of basic elements of the conveyor are presented. Cases with one angular and combinations with several line drive units are considered. In order to observe influential parameters, variants with different route lengths and line weight of transported material were considered. At the end of the paper, the obtained results were analyzed and appropriate conclusions were made.
Application of linear programming to the standard maximum problem in the field of transportation
Authors: Marković Bogdan , Marković Milan , Velimirović Dragana
Published: February 2022

The paper presents the analysis of the transport plan by applying the geometric interpretation of linear programming, dual approach and simplex method to the optimization of the transport plan. The goal is to optimize the transport plan from the aspect of choosing the type of transport task, type and scope of engagement of transport means, in order to maximize the functions of the goal that represents the earnings. The approach to analysis is illustrated by a characteristic task that is solved in the paper in the described way. The main difference between this and the tasks analyzed so far is that the imposed restrictions represent a system of inequalities which, by introducing fictitious variables, is transformed into a system of equations to which the standard maximum problem is applied. The benefit of this approach is a simpler but also more comprehensive approach to the analysis of the transport plan. It is especially suitable for relatively small transport systems when there are a number of limitations and where it is not convenient to buy and use software packages. The emphasis in the paper is on maximizing earnings while meeting the imposed limits. The analysis yielded identical results in all three ways.
High-tech criminality
Authors: Đekić Milica
Published: February 2022

Cybercrime is an activity that originates from a hacker's workstation, spreads through the web and affects the endpoint infrastructure. From a professional point of view, it's one of the most requiring criminologist cases in all crime areas, because it needs a plenty of skill to be recognized, managed and resolved. The modern global landscape shows a certain tendency of not being capable to respond to such a security challenge. In other words, the cyber criminals are well-motivated and work for a high profit, so it's obvious why that branch of criminality cannot be fully covered at present. Indeed, we need much better capacities to tackle such a concern and as the entire world suffers so obvious cyber skill shortage it's clear why we are dealing in maze. In this paper, we discuss high-tech crime as a social, economical and above all; security challenge trying to indicate some recommendations that could provide us a deeper understanding of the topic.

Direcciones de la semiótica en Colombia
Authors: Silva Armando
Published: February 2022

Es interesante reconocer el renovado interés de la semiótica en Colombia al igual que en varios países de América Latina. Se puede decir que de la moda de los años setenta, donde muchos aficionados en Colombia se ocuparon de la semiología, amándola con la misma incomprensión y emoción furtiva con que hoy la reniegan, pasamos a otro momento profesional en el cual la dirección semiótica se constituye no sólo en una materia de estudio dentro de distintas disciplinas o carreras, sino en un verdadero problema teórico y paradigma episte mológico de las ciencias sociales, sobre el cual hay que reflexionar y, diría, no sólo pretender.
