Published: April 2020

The overall purpose of this chapter is to analyse the inter-relations between institutional arrangements, event policy frameworks and applied portfolio approaches. The chapter aims to explore the influence of the public sector institutional and policy environments on the realisation of portfolio approaches in three cities in New Zealand, Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin. The cities have a core national status (Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment, 2012) in terms of economic, political and socio-cultural share, and represent a variety of different contexts. Auckland is located in the North Island of New Zealand. It is the largest urban area in the country with a population of 1,415,500. It contains around 190 ethnic groups. Auckland is New Zealand’s principle business centre and accounts for 35.3% of New Zealand’s GDP as major national gateway for imports and exports (Statistics New Zealand, 2014). It is the most visited tourist destination in New Zealand, attracting around 70% of all visitors to the country (aucklandnz.com, n.d.). Auckland has been recognised in different international comparative studies such as Mercer Quality of Living Survey is 2015 and 2018, where it was ranked the third most liveable city in the world (Mercer, 2015, 2018).

Young learners can be defined as children in age ranging from five or six years old who are attending elementary school to twelve years old.  In this research the researcher chose to teach vocabulary in TK (kindergarten) Aisyiyah Dolopo. The reason for choosing to teach vocabulary is because vocabulary is one of the important elements in language. The researcher focuses on teaching vocabulary words to the young learners. The researcher used pop up slide book to improve students’ vocabulary. The pop up slide book is a book which shows three dimensional pictures when the pull or trigger is pulled. The name pop up slide book is originated from the term “Slide” which means “to move smoothly along a surface”. The name slide was added by the researcher as the new variant of pop up book. The method for this research was Classroom Action Research which took two cycles. This research method was conducted to know the problems inside the classroom thus the solution can be found. The goal of this research is to make children learn English through pop up slide book. The instruments used in this research were observation, interview and test. The research results based on the implementation of popup animal slide media in TK Aisyiyah Dolopo Madiun showed that in cycle 1 up to cycle 2 the implementation of pop up slide book was able to improve students’ score. In the first cycle many students achieved score 70 and in the second observation their score were above 80. The highest score was 100 for the test in cycle 2. The interview result showed that 100% of the students liked the pop up slide book with the animal poster. In the first interview cycle, 87% of students were afraid to learn English but in the second interview cycle, 100% of students could speak English comfortably without hesitation. Moreover from the observation in first cycle only 46% students who were excited to learn with pop up book, but in the second cycle 90% of students were excited to learn English during lesson using pop up slide book. It means that pop up Slide Book as teaching media could successfully improve students’ vocabulary. Keywords: Kindergarten, Pop Up Slide Book, Vocabulary

Subject and history: reasoning of Castoriadis on modernity in the context of this philosophical polemics (Heidegger, Ricoeur, Habermas)
Authors: Gashkov Sergei Aleksandrovich
Published: April 2020

The subject of this research is the historical-philosophical and polemical context of philosophical reasoning on the history of French philosopher of Greek descent Cornelius Castoriadis (1922-1997). The philosopher builds a complicated polemical model that vividly responses to all attempts to determines society, being, history, and a human. Even such prominent philosophers of the XX century, such as M. Heidegger, J. Habermas. And P. Ricoeur, who do not show prejudice attitude towards philosophical knowledge, become subjected to critical analysis. The scientific novelty consists in attracting the new to the Russian audience historical-philosophical material, as well as a distinct attempt to reproduce of such polemics and debated that took place within the French intellectual environment of the late XX century. However, the author did not pursue the task of historical and biobibliographical description; the emphasis was made on the so-called return to the origins of the philosophy of history, revival of philosophical reasoning on history based on the examined material, demonstration of the complicated, aporetic, heterogeneous and heuristic nature of relationship between philosophy, humanities and social disciplines. The conclusion is made that the work of Castoriadis mostly represents philosophical criticism of theoretical grounds of humanities and social disciplines, rather than a poststructuralist philosophy of history; but this criticism, studied in the context of philosophical thought, acquires an independent scientific meaning.

Authors: Swersky Adam , Mohan Prasoon P.
Published: April 2020

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) occlusion is a common occurrence that can be managed based on the nature and acuity of shunt failure. Arterioportal fistulas (APFs) are rare communications between portal venous and systemic arterial vasculature that can present with symptomatic portal hypertension. In this case, we describe the management of a patient with variceal bleeding due to TIPS dysfunction complicated by the presence of an APF.
Malignant clinical course of mycotic intracranial aneurysms in children: A review
Authors: Khormi Yahya H , Tyndall Ronette Goodluck , Tamber Mandeep
Published: April 2020

Background:

Mycotic aneurysms are a rare in the pediatric population. The natural history of these lesions and their appropriate management strategies is controversial.

Case Description:

A 13-year-old male presented with the sudden onset of a headache, vomiting, and fever. Inflammatory markers were elevated, and the blood culture was positive for Streptococcus viridans. When the computed tomography angiography (CTA) showed a ruptured mycotic aneurysm accompanied by multiple small unruptured aneurysms, he was started on antibiotics and underwent an urgent craniotomy. Despite negative blood cultures, the follow-up CTA showed further enlargement of the previously diagnosed aneurysms and a new right frontal aneurysm. The second and third craniotomies were, respectively, performed to resect the additional aneurysms. Pathologically, both aneurysmal walls were markedly inflamed and attenuated, suggesting the imminent risk of aneurysmal rupture. Following the total of three craniotomies, the patient had an uneventful postoperative course. Within 2 weeks, he regained baseline neurological function.

Conclusion:

Mycotic aneurysms in children may follow a very malignant course. Aneurysms may grow, new ones may form, and repeated CTAs are required to direct further follow-up treatment.
Progressive dysphagia and dysphonia secondary to DISH-related anterior cervical osteophytes: A case report
Authors: Kumar Manoj , Shahi Prem Bahadur , Adsul Nitin , Acharya Shankar , Kalra K. L. , Chahal R. S.
Published: April 2020

Background:

Dysphagia due to diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH)-related anterior cervical osteophytes is not uncommon. However, this rarely leads to dysphonia and/or dysphagia along with life- threatening airway obstruction requiring emergency tracheotomy.

Case Description:

A 56-year-old male presented with progressive dysphagia and dysphonia secondary to DISH-related anterior osteophytes at the C3–C4 and C4–C5 levels. The barium swallow, X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography scans confirmed the presence of DISH. Utilizing an anterior cervical approach, a large beak-like osteophyte was successfully removed, while preserving the anterior annulus. After clinic-radiological improvement, the patient was discharged with a soft cervical collar and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

Conclusion:

Large anterior osteophytes in Forestier disease/DISH may cause dysphagia and dysphonia. Direct anterior resection of these lesions yields excellent results as long as other etiologies for such symptoms have been ruled out.

Authors: Dobran Mauro , Mancini Fabrizio , Paracino Riccardo , Lattanzi Simona , Somma Lucia di , Nasi Davide , Bizzocchi Gianluca , Aiudi Denis , Iacoangeli Maurizio
Published: April 2020

Background:

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is one of the most common diseases in the geriatric population. Decompressive laminectomy or laminoplasty is the predominant surgical procedure of choice, but there remains debate as to which procedure is optimal for managing CSM.

Methods:

Here, we retrospectively analyzed 64 patients with CSM undergoing laminectomy (39 patients) versus laminoplasty (25 patients). The data were collected included respective Japanese orthopedic association (JOA) scores, Nurick grades, and Visual analog scale (VAS) values preoperatively versus 12 months postoperatively.

Results:

The JOA score after 1 month improved in both groups utilizing laminectomy or laminoplasty. However, at 12 postoperative months, the JOA scores and Nurick grades showed greater improvement following laminoplasty, despite no differences in postoperative pain and complication rates.

Conclusion:

Patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy undergoing laminoplasty (25 patients) showed better 12-month postoperative outcomes (JOA scores and Nurick grades) versus those having laminectomies (39 patients).
Do We Have Reasons to Obey the Law?
Authors: Flanigan Edmund Tweedy
Published: April 2020

Instead of the question, ‘Do we have an obligation to obey the law?,’ we should first ask the easier question, ‘Do we have reasons to obey the law?.’ This paper offers a new account of the notion of what Hart called the content-independence of legal reasons in terms of the normative grounding relation. That account is then used to mount a defense of the claim that we do indeed have content-independent, genuinely normative reasons to obey the law (because it is the law), and that these reasons do sometimes amount to an obligation to so-act.

Published: April 2020

The pattern of coal transportation is very dependent on the behaviour of the driver, which influences the effectiveness of travel time. Good driver behaviour will affect the optimization of travel time, and scenarios need to reduce travel time wastage. This study aims to optimize travel time and sensitivity analysis based on the influence of driver behaviour, truck travel movements and the use of travel time on coal haul roads. The research method uses a field survey with a GPS tracker, a smart GPS server 3.3, google earth and statistics. The results showed that the driver's behaviour greatly influenced the pattern of use of travel time and truck travel speed. Coal transportation in the morning can be more optimal than night so that that travel time wastage can reduced by 40%. The proposed optimization scenarios can save 36.7% - 48.61% of the existing travel time and the transport cycle can be increased to four to five times. So that with the addition of the cycle, it will increase the income of the transport company and the driver's income. With smart GPS, companies can improve the performance of transportation services in company management, get coal supplies on time.
Fibers, Geopolymers, Nano and Alkali-Activated Materials for Deep Soil Mix Binders
Authors: Wong John Kok Hee , Kok Sien Ti , Wong Soon Yee
Published: April 2020

Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and Lime (CaO) have traditionally been used as binder materials for Deep Soil Mix (DSM) ground improvement. Research has been conducted into possible alternatives such as pozzolans to reduce reliance on either cement or lime. However, pozzolans still undergo similar calcium-based reactions in the strengthening process. In this review, further alternative binder materials for soil strength development are explored. These recent developments include fiber reinforcement materials, alkali activation methods, nanomaterials and geopolymers, which can potentially achieve equal or improved performance. Research to date has shown that alkali-activated materials and geopolymers can be equivalent or superior alternatives to pozzolanic supplemented cement binders. The case is made for GP cements which potentially produces 80% less CO2 than conventional portland cement during manufacture. One-part AAM and GP cements are a promising substitute for portland cement in DSM. A combined approach which incorporates both Ca and alkali activated/geopolymer types of materials and hence reactions is proposed.

Published: April 2020

The Construction industry in Malaysia is always progressively moved ahead with the full support from the Malaysian government through the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB). As report by CIDB, “there were 34,172 projects valued at RM 407 Billion for the 2006-2010 (9th Malaysia Plan) period, compared to 30,717 projects valued at RM 507 Billion for the 2011-2014 periods. Infrastructure projects such as road, major bridges, railways, ports/airports and other major civil works are avenues for major capital influx into the areas where work will be undertaken. The impact to downstream economy can be immediate at the start of the construction and can continue during the operations itself. It is for this reason that local residents get excited when new major infrastructures are established in their locality. Coupled with the promised economic and financial benefits of the construction industry, the activities themselves generate considerable waste materials at the worksites, workers’ campsites, and ancillary facilities. The aim of this research is to investigate the use of BIM as a platform and IBS construction to aid construction waste minimisation, and to develop and validate a BIM-IBS aided waste minimisation Framework in design. Reducing construction waste has been driven by economic and environmental consideration due to the cost of waste, which is about 15 times that of disposal. Thus, the construction industry has been exploring and developing effective and efficient approaches to minimise waste generation In the context of this research, construction waste minimisation (CWM) is a process for preventing, eliminating or reducing waste at its source during design.

Las escuelas públicas en el Colegio de San Ignacio de Loyola 1793-1844
Authors: Torres Alejo Andrea
Published: April 2020

Este artículo estudia las escuelas públicas instaladas en el Colegio de San Ignacio de Loyola de 1793 a 1844. Las escuelas públicas de “San Luis Gonzaga” eran gratuitas y estaban destinadas a las niñas pobres. Como escuelas de primeras letras, las niñas aprendían a leer, a escribir, las operaciones básicas de la aritmética, el catecismo; así como las labores propias de su sexo: la costura y el bordado. El análisis de estas escuelas abre una ventana hacia el pasado educativo de las mujeres, en el cual las concepciones culturales propias de la época, determinaron los conocimientos y aprendizajes que ellas debían tener. De acuerdo con lo anterior, en esta investigación se ha hecho uso de una metodología basada en la historia social y cultural de la educación, la cual permite explicar tanto los contenidos educativos, los procesos de aprendizaje y las interacciones de nuestros antepasados con su realidad histórica. Además, este artículo busca ser una contribución al acercamiento y conocimiento de las mujeres y su educación en el pasado, siguiendo los planteamientos de la actual historiografía de la educación en la cual se ha abierto la posibilidad de abordar diversas temáticas educativas, como es el caso de la educación femenina. En este sentido, las niñas que asistieron a las escuelas públicas de “San Luis Gonzaga” recibieron enseñanzas de carácter formal, pues además de seguir el método de las escuelas lancasterianas, también se crearon reglamentos específicos para su instrucción. Las conclusiones a las que se han llegado, refieren que dichos establecimientos siguieron un modelo educativo que era funcional, así como económico. Estas escuelas públicas fueron pensadas para estar al alcance de las familias pobres que deseaban enviar a sus hijas, hermanas, o de cualquier otro parentesco, a estudiar, sin tener que cumplir con los requisitos estrictos que se establecieron para el Colegio de San Ignacio de Loyola.

Introduction

Malignancies are the second leading cause of death worldwide. Treatment Monoclonal Antibody (MAbs)-based treatment of cancer has been established as one of the most successful therapeutic strategies in the last 20 years; however, there is a growing concern about the effects of these agents on patients’ cardiovascular profile.

Areas Covered

In this manuscript we summarize current evidence regarding MAb effects on arterial stiffness, which is an recognised biomarker of cardiovascular risk. For this purpose, we explored two bibliographic databases [PubMed, Scopus] and one full-text database (Google-Scholar) for all publications published on MAbs’ effects on arterial stiffness until December 2019. Only few of the monoclonal antibody agents used in oncology have been investigated as per their effects on arterial properties and this limited evidence suggests that cancer therapy with monoclonal antibodies demonstrates either a temporary or long-term increase in arterial stiffness.

Discussion

It seems that by targeting ‘checkpoints’ in cancer genesis, anticancer MAbs also affects vascular properties causing endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness. Furthermore, several MAbs cause hypertension and may as a result increase pulse wave velocity. On the other hand, MAbs that target inflammatory cytokines seem to improve cardiovascular survival however, their effect on arterial stiffness is yet to be investigated. Further research is warranted in order to elucidate the biochemical pathways, clinical implications and potential reversibility of monoclonal antibody chemotherapy-induced vascular dysfunction.

O planejamento, atividade especificamente humana, constitui uma ação intencional para alcançar determinadosfins. O ato de planejar está presente na vida individual e social, a partir do qual se projetam escolhas efinalidades. No âmbito do Estado, o planejamento consiste em uma forma de intervenção e controle. Nessesentido, o planejamento educacional remete a uma forma de intervenção do Estado em educação, para ocumprimento de determinadas funções, considerando aspectos econômicos, políticos e sociais. Em relação àsfunções atribuídas à escola, podemos destacar a formação voltada para a aquisição mínima de competências evalores, que visam à adequação dos indivíduos à sociedade capitalista. O planejamento da educação, situadoem um contexto histórico, corresponde a determinadas concepções de sociedade, ser humano e educação. Oplanejamento, como parte da política educacional, não pode ser entendido como uma ação neutra, pois não setrata meramente de aspectos técnicos, mas, sobretudo, de uma ação política articulada com os interessesdominantes. Intentamos, com este trabalho, situar o papel do Estado na elaboração do planejamentoeducacional no Brasil, abordando as diferentes concepções e os tipos de planejamento educacional, bem comoo Plano Nacional de Educação, no sentido de buscar identificar quais as contradições e as implicações em tornoda construção de uma educação pública, gratuita e de qualidade.
A RELAÇÃO ENTRE AS MÁXIMAS DE DIÓGENES DE ENOANDA E A FILOSOFIA DE EPICURO
Authors: Santos Rogério Lopes dos
Published: April 2020

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar a relação entre as máximas de Diógenes de Enoanda e o quetemos de genuinamente epicureu, ou seja, com o material (cartas, máximas e fragmentos) admitido como deautoria incontestável de Epicuro. Com essa apresentação, nós evidenciamos a força da ortodoxia da doutrina deEpicuro, pois, de um modo geral não existem divergências entre o que Epicuro ensinava em Atenas no século IIIa.C. e o que Diógenes de Enoanda afirmava ser o Epicurismo no século II d.C. Na verdade, há uma únicamáxima que parece não seguir a doutrina de Epicuro (Diog. Oen. 107). Entretanto, essa divergência é justificadapelo fato de que essa máxima está fragmentada. Nesse sentido, acreditamos que o presente artigo consiste emuma contribuição positiva para a comunidade acadêmica que se dedica ao estudo do Epicurismo, ainda mais seconsiderarmos o fato de que se trata de um epicureu sobre o qual temos poucos artigos, sobretudo no Brasil. Paraa realização desse trabalho, nos servimos aqui das seguintes obras: (i) El sabio camino hacia la felicidad:Diógenes de Enoanda y el gran mural epicúreo, de Carlos García Gual (2016), da qual retiramos as máximasde Diógenes de Enoanda; (ii) a Carta a Heródoto, Carta a Pítocles, Carta a Meneceu, bem como as MáximasPrincipais e as Sentenças Vaticanas, de Epicuro; (iii) o Livro X da obra Vidas e Doutrinas dos FilósofosIlustres, do doxógrafo grego Diógenes Laércio.

TEORIA DA VIOLÊNCIA EM MARX
Authors: Chagas Eduardo Ferreira , Gonçalves Mailson Bruno de Queiroz Carneiro
Published: April 2020

O presente artigo tem como finalidade apresentar o conceito de violência em Marx a partir do 24º capítulo do livro I de O Capital, cujo cerne temático consiste no que o autor denomina de acumulação primitiva ou processo originário. Marx, ao apontar a diferença entre o valor produzido pelo trabalho e o salário pago ao trabalhador (mais valia) como base de exploração do sistema capitalista, procura compreender, através da história, a gênese do modo de produção capitalista e afirma que, ao contrário da hipótese defendida pela economia política clássica, a concentração de riqueza nunca foi resultado da negligência de muitos e da disposição de poucos, mas de um violento processo de expropriação camponesa, servidão da força de trabalho indígena, exploração da mão de obra africana e espoliação da América. Marx nega a base histórica do sistema capitalista proposta pelos teóricos liberais ao apontar um conjunto de fatores que contribuíram decisivamente para o surgimento do capitalismo na Europa, especialmente a Inglaterra, seu principal laboratório de estudos para a redação de O Capital.
“ESCOLHO ME VER AGORA”: NOTAS SOBRE UMA EXPERIÊNCIA DE ESCRITA DE SI NA FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES
Authors: Neto Avelino Aldo de Lima , Araújo Hugo Filgueiras de , Chagas Patrícia Carla de Macedo
Published: April 2020

O presente artigo objetiva, a partir de uma perspectiva fundamentada em estudos autobiográficos e narrativos, apresentar algumas notas sobre a escrita de si através de uma experiência pedagógica que articulou o cinema e o diário na formação de professores. Para tanto, inicialmente, são apontados alguns lugares do corpo e do discurso no contexto da cultura de si. Logo após, a experiência do olhar nessa mesma ambiência é desvelada. Num terceiro momento, a partir dos textos foucaultianos, é salientada a possibilidade de uma dimensão visual da escritura e a sua relação com a transformação operada nos sujeitos-corpos que, em nosso caso, são licenciandas. Por fim, são sublinhados alguns elementos oriundos dessa experiência, com vistas a pensar a possibilidade deoutras ferramentas teórico-empíricas capazes de colaborar eficazmente no trajeto da formação docente. A associação entre o cinema e os diários mostrou-nos ser possível conectar a experiência vivida aos saberes acadêmicos na prática do cuidado e do narrar de si como experiências propositivas para o devir da profissão docente no processo de formação inicial.
PENERAPAN WAKAF UANG SECARA PROFESIONAL MENURUT HUKUM ISLAM (Application of Cash Waqf in Good Governance)
Authors: Ahmad Mu’is  , Binti Nur Hamida
Published: April 2020

In term of terminology, the word Waqf means 'holding back something to acquire advantage'. Certain things can be something active like land or passive like money as cash waqf (waqf al nuqud). Money as waqf is still not explored and managed to the maximum, even though its potential is massive because Indonesia is a majority Muslim country. The great potential of waqf challenges is also not easy. The main obstacle is more on human resources and their management strategies. The problem of good and efficient management of waqf is a problem. Therefore, the greater the wealth and diversity of waqf that can be managed by Nadzhir professionally with proper management, the more benefits can be derived from managing cash waqf with good governance will strengthen the role of waqf in improving the economy and welfare of the community. This research uses literature study method by referring several primary and secondary sources in the form of books, and relevant journals discussing the problems of waqf, money waqf, and good governance. The results of this study state that in the context of waqf management, Good Governance can be more easily interpreted as trustful waqf management so that waqf property can be collected, managed and distributed properly for the benefit of the people. Potential money as cash waqf is also very promising, because waqf in this form are not with ownership of large amounts of wealth.

Key words: Waqf, Cash Waqf, Good Governance
The Alien Citizen: Social Distance and the Economic Returns to Naturalization in the Southwest
Authors: Catron Peter
Published: April 2020

Citizenship acquisition is often promoted as one factor that can facilitate the economic integration of immigrants. However, not all individuals and groups experience positive benefits to naturalization. This article argues that social distance from the native-born is an important factor that influences who does and does not benefit from citizenship acquisition. Specifically, I create a new continuous measure of social distance for immigrants during the age of mass migration. I show that the relationship between social distance and the economic returns to citizenship takes an inverted U-shape. Those considered closest and furthest away in social distance to the native-born report little to no advantages to citizenship while those in the middle report larger returns. I then focus on the Mexican population in the historical southwest and take advantage of a unique enumeration in the complete count 1930 US census that coded Mexicans as either white or Mexican. Mexicans coded as white report economic differences between citizenship statuses while Mexicans coded as nonwhite report no difference between citizenship statuses. The results suggest citizenship may not be beneficial to all individuals and groups depending on where they fall in the ethnoracial hierarchy.
Urban nature as a source of resilience during social distancing amidst the coronavirus pandemic
Authors: Samuelsson Karl , Barthel Stephan , Colding Johan , Macassa Gloria , Giusti Matteo
Published: April 2020

The 2020 coronavirus pandemic caused countries across the world to implement measures of social distancing to curb spreading of COVID-19. The large and sudden disruptions to everyday life that result from this are likely to impact well-being, particularly among urban populations that live in dense settings with limited public space. In this paper, we argue that during these extraordinary circumstances, urban nature offers resilience for maintaining well-being in urban populations, while enabling social distancing. We discuss more generally the critical role of urban nature in times of crisis. Cities around the world need to take the step into the 21st century by accepting crises as a new reality and finding ways to function during these disturbances. Thus, maintaining or increasing space for nature in cities and keeping it accessible to the public should be part of the sustainability agenda, aiming simultaneously to strive towards SDG 3 (good health and well-being), and SDG 11 (sustainable and resilient cities).
