Atmosphere and Religion: The Phenomenology of Hermann Schmitz and the Possibility for a Comparative Study of Religion
Authors: Kajitani Shinji
Published: April 2019

[full article, abstract in English; abstract in Lithuanian]

On the basis of his phenomenological theory of body and emotion, and especially his concept of emotion as atmosphere, Hermann Schmitz (1928–) defines religion as “behavior derived from affectedness by the divine,” i.e., communication with a powerful atmosphere overwhelming human beings. This definition enables us to explore religion in a broader context, such as dwelling, daily practice, rituals, architecture, art, etc. From this perspective, religion cannot be confined to the fields of theory, practice, institution, or convention but covers a much richer field in life. On the other hand, this view means that our daily existence is more profoundly related to the religious. This makes it understandable why new religious movements appear repeatedly, and why social phenomena appear that are not called religions but have some religious aspects even in a modern, secularized society. In this way, the theory of atmosphere can give us insight into the general necessity of the religious for human existence in each culture. Schmitz’s phenomenology of religion has, therefore, its advantage in the analysis of folk religion, which is rooted more deeply in folk culture and such of its aspects as customs, festivals, and folklore. This article will address some characteristics of Japanese folk religion and then compare monotheism with polytheism.
Teenagers, Sexting, and the Law
Authors: Strasburger Victor C. , Zimmerman Harry , Temple Jeff R. , Madigan Sheri
Published: April 2019

The phenomenon of teen sexting emerged as a result of the proliferation of digital technology. More than 40 studies have established that teen sexting occurs relatively frequently and is a rising trend, commensurate with the ubiquity of smartphone ownership in teens. Studies have shown that sexting is associated with incidences of increased sexual behavior. US state laws on sexting vary widely, from decriminalization to misdemeanor charges or prosecution for child pornography with harsh sentences. Teen behavior and digital invention have outpaced the development of new laws, and this has the potential to have dire legal ramifications for teens. Separating consensual sexting from nonconsensual sexting and actual child pornography is a critical next step for law enforcement agencies and policy makers to catch up to technology. In this article, we argue that consensual teen-to-teen sexting does not warrant law enforcement involvement but rather is a health and education issue that is better addressed at home, in schools, and in primary care.
Las políticas de salud, un campo de estudio transdisciplinar
Authors: Ortega Bolaños Jesús A.
Published: April 2019

Proponer políticas o recomendaciones para intervenir la salud hoy día, requiere reconocer que las políticas sanitarias pretenden resolver estados de salud causados por extrema pobreza e inequidad en distintos estilos y condiciones de vida. Se requiere develar intereses de actores más cercanos a la eficiencia que a la equidad sanitaria, en escenarios de desigualdad sanitaria evidenciados por diferentes gradientes de salud en poblaciones desventajadas del país.Los análisis de política sanitaria requieren integrar la medición, descripción y participación política con políticas de reconocimiento frente al escenario sanitario, generando conciencia frente a capacidades y derechos humanos fundamentales.Los aportes de saberes desde diferentes disciplinas de las ciencias de la vida o de otras ciencias podrían mostrar campos transdisciplinares de generación de conocimiento, formación e investigación aplicada que pretenden distanciarse de análisis racionales, siendo fundamental enfatizar en factores cognitivos, retóricos y narrativos que evidencien ideologías de dominación en distintos momentos de decisión que configuran una política pública en salud.La construcción de un campo de estudio transdisciplinar en políticas de salud, permitiría vincular enfoques críticos para comprender la justicia social a partir de teorías emergentes sobre el reconocimiento y las capacidades en diferentes esferas de la vida social.Podríamos indagar como se constituyen los sistemas de salud, las prácticas sociales en salud; entender categorías de estudio que expresen inequidades sanitarias y permitan un abordaje teórico metodológico frente a expresiones sanitarias emergentes individuales y colectivas como la enfermedad crónica, la violencia, el maltrato físico, la exclusión social.

Revisiting the universal linear algebraic model for the characteristic two case
Authors: Juhász Máté L.
Published: April 2019

In [3], a universal linear algebraic model was proposed for describing homogeneous conformal geometries, such as the spherical, Euclidean, hyperbolic, Minkowski, anti-de Sitter and Galilei planes ([6]). This formalism was independent from the underlying field, providing an extension and general approach to other fields, such as finite fields. Some steps were taken even for the characteristic 2 case.

In this article, we undertake the study of the characteristic 2 case in more detail. In particular, the concept of virtual quadratic spaces is used ([4]), and a similar result is achieved for finite fields of characteristic 2 as for other fields. Some differences from the non-characteristic 2 case are also pointed out.

Authors: Alizadeh Morad , Tahmasebi Saeid , Kazemi Mohammad Reza , Nejad Hamideh Siyamar Arabi , Hamedani G. Hossein G.
Published: April 2019

In this paper, we introduce a new three-parameter generalized version of the Gompertz model called the odd log-logistic Gompertz (OLLGo) distribution. It includes some well-known lifetime distributions such as Gompertz (Go) and odd log-logistic exponential (OLLE) as special sub-models. This new distribution is quite flexible and can be used effectively in modeling survival data and reliability problems. It can have a decreasing, increasing and bathtub-shaped failure rate function depending on its parameters. Some mathematical properties of the new distribution, such as closed-form expressions for the density, cumulative distribution, hazard rate function, the kth order moment, moment generating function and the quantile measure are provided. We discuss maximum likelihood estimation of the OLLGo parameters as well as three other estimation methods from one observed sample. The flexibility and usefulness of the new distribution is illustrated by means of application to a real data set.

Authors: Favarato Maria Helena , Sarno Murilo Moura , Carneiro Peres Lena Vania , Teles Arruda Fernando
Published: April 2019

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Clinical skills training for medical students is critical so they can provide effective and safe care for patients and involves the development of technical skills, attitudes, and skills. The use of simulations allows the training of skills in a safe environment, with standardized and controlled learning opportunities. We report on the experience of simulation of medical care in basic care settings, home visits and consultations in the health unit, using professional actors who participate in the formative evaluation of the students, through the exposure of their perspectives and their feelings about care. Such a strategy allows the development of clinical skills in a humanized and patient-centered manner.
Characterization of Nd(Tb)–Fe–B-based exchange-spring nanocomposite magnets
Authors: Karmaker Palash Chandra , Rahman Mohammad Obaidur , Dan Nguyen Huy , Liba Samia Islam , Nordblad Per , Hoque Sheikh Manjura
Published: April 2019

The authors attempt to optimize for performance the composition of R 2Fe14B/Fe3B-based hard nanocomposite alloys with R = neodymium (Nd) and terbium (Tb) by optimizing phases in order to develop hysteresis parameters such as maximum magnetization, coercivity and maximum energy product through variation in composition and heat treatment. The samples were prepared from arc-melted ingots of different compositions. The crystallization temperatures were obtained from the differential scanning calorimeter traces of the samples with the composition Nd4−x Tb x Fe71Co5Cu0·5Nb1B18·5 (x = 0·0, 0·2, 0·4, 0·6, 0·8 and 1·0). Depending on their crystallization temperatures, the samples were annealed at 600, 625, 650, 675 and 700°C for 10 min. Amorphosity and crystallization behavior were studied by X-ray diffraction using copper (Cu) Kα radiation (1·5418 Å). The Mössbauer spectra of all the samples were recorded at room temperature by using iron-57 (57Fe) Mössbauer spectrometry in transmission geometry with a constant-acceleration spectrometer. Magnetic properties were determined by a vibrating-sample magnetometer in the as-cast and annealed conditions. Although the highest values of coercivity and remanent ratio were found to be 4·18 kOe and 0·72, respectively, for the sample of composition Nd3Tb1Fe71Co5Cu0·5Nb1B18·5 annealed at 650°C with a higher concentration of terbium, the highest maximum energy product was determined to be 12·67 MGOe for the sample of Nd3·8Tb0·2Fe71Co5Cu0·5Nb1B18·5.
Deep insight into electron transport and photovoltaic parameters in DSSCs
Authors: Hamdani Khaled , Adnane Mohamed , Sam Sabrina , Chaumont Denis , Belhousse Samia , Tighilt Fatma-Zohra , Lasmi Kahina , Hamrani Amal
Published: April 2019

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on titanium (IV) oxide (TiO2) nanoparticles and nanotubes (NTs) with different weight ratios and phase compositions were fabricated. The obtained nanostructures were investigated using X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy. Current–voltage measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to investigate the electron transport and photovoltaic performance of DSSCs. An increase of 14% in cell efficiency was achieved by introducing 10 wt% NTs. In this configuration, high dye loading is ensured and substantial improvement in electron transport efficiency is achieved by a more effective stack of the particles. Moreover, a 21 wt% rutile content is beneficial to the overall solar energy conversion by prompting highly efficient electron migration from the rutile conduction band to anatase trapping sites. When 20–100% NTs are incorporated in the structure, the photocurrent and thus the cell efficiency decrease progressively. The diminution of photocurrent is associated with a lesser amount of adsorbed dye, owing to the small surface area of titanium (IV) oxide films with high NT content. The photocurrent decrease also correlates with the decrease in the electron lifetime, indicating that electron transport through titanium (IV) oxide film is becoming less efficient due to the diminution of the extent of interparticle connectivity.

Authors: Pérez Yina Constanza
Published: April 2019

RESUMENPropósito. El ensayo está orientado a mostrar que el derecho mercantil como un comportamiento del hombre en sociedad no es ajeno a la principialística. Descripción. El hecho de que esta rama de lo jurídico sea relativamente nueva en cuanto a su codificación, evidencia que la génesis del mismo es tan antigua como el hombre, por ello este trabajo evidenciará la forma en que los principios generales del derecho han permeado a esta especialidad. Punto de vista. La investigación se ocupa de la cuestión jurídica: ¿De qué manera los principios generales del derecho han permeado el derecho mercantil y cuál ha sido su evolución­? Usaré como basamento metodológico  a Austin (2005)[1] y a Ortiz Uribe, Frida Gisela y María del Pilar García (2001)[2]. El fundamento teórico será el dado por Valencia, Bobbio,  Dworkin entre otros. Conclusión. El ámbito de lo mercantil tiene que ser impactado con la tendencia anunciada, pues de no serlo  se tornaría un elemento excluido del contexto que se propone tan novedosa figura.
Playing Around with Book History: Codex Conquest and Mark
Authors: Chen Amy H
Published: April 2019

While the value of play often is emphasized only for children, play has a role in higher education as well. Play encourages students to confront new information with curiosity rather than fear and with a flexible rather than fixed mindset. As book history is a complex field—curators, librarians, archivists, booksellers, auctioneers, collectors, artisans, conservationists, and a whole host of other professionals are just as involved in its work and study as students and scholars—play is a wonderful way to address this overwhelm because it generates a positive state of flow. In particular, specially-designed games help students begin to address their book history learning curve. Using two common points of entry for students working with rare books for the first time—“how much is this book worth?” and “this book is really pretty!”—Codex Conquest and Mark help instructors guide students through their own inquiry.

Published: April 2019

Um experimento foi conduzido em estufa, na UFCG, com plântulas de mamona (Ricinus communis L.), linhagem UFRB 222, para avaliar os efeitos do nitrogênio, fósforo e potássio na emergência e crescimento das mesmas até aos 40 dias após o semeio. Utilizou-se delineamento inteiramente casualizado com três repetições e quatorze tratamentos, em distribuição de matriz baconiana, com as doses de referência: 50:300:150 kg ha-1 de N:P2O5:K2O. A adubação com fósforo e potássio foi realizada em fundação e com o nitrogênio, após 20 DAS. A emergência das plântulas teve início no sexto DAS e continuou até o décimo terceiro dia. Dados sobre altura das plantas, diâmetro caulinar, número de folhas e área foliar foram analisados aos 40 DAS. Neste período, estas características da planta responderam positivamente às dosagens de fósforo até 450 kg ha-1 e não responderam às dosagens de nitrogênio e potássio. As adubações com fósforo e potássio influenciaram negativamente o índice de velocidade de emergência e a porcentagem de emergência das sementes de mamoneira. E, finalmente, as plantas adubadas, independentes das dosagens e do tipo de adubo, foram mais bem desenvolvidas do que as não adubadas.

Posttraumatic Growth and Trauma in Flood Survivors: Contributions of Attitudes Toward God
Authors: Zeligman Melissa , McElroy-Heltzel Stacey E. , Davis Edward B. , Dispenza Franco , Davis Don E. , DeBlaere Cirleen
Published: April 2019

Natural disasters, including floods, affect entire communities and often lead survivors to report symptoms of posttraumatic stress (PTS). Although the vast majority of disaster research focuses on negative emotional outcomes, individuals may simultaneously experience positive outcomes such as posttraumatic growth (PTG). This study examined the influence of attitudes toward God (i.e., positive attitudes toward God and disappointment/anger with God) on perceived PTG and PTS following the 2016 floods in Baton Rouge, Louisiana (N = 416). Hierarchical regressions revealed that flood exposure and attitudes toward God predicted perceived PTG and PTS. In addition, disappointment/anger with God helped to moderate the relationship between flood exposure and perceived PTG in flood survivors. Findings underscore the role that counselors can play in facilitating growth in disaster survivors and in processing spiritual topics with clients when relevant.

Global Lines in Conflicts in the Middle East
Authors: Leutzsch Andreas
Published: April 2019

My case is that current conflicts in the Middle East are not only conflicts between states or a Clash of Civilizations, but that glocal relative deprivation has caused a vacuum of power and conflicts between stationary states. To support my argument, I will discuss three paradigms and their ability for explaining the crisis in the Middle East: First, Carl Schmitt’s turn from Westphalian Governance to global lines (of a Nomos of Earth) as spheres of foreign non-interference, which is either used to propose unrealistic international solutions to a transnational crisis or, paradoxically, to back hegemonic interests in the region. Second, I will deconstruct Samuel Huntington’s paradigm of a Clash of Civilizations, which is based on dubious data and references to call for a Western hegemony that already exists beyond the classical imperialist understanding of it as global standards empowered with help of global horizons of comparability. Third, I will extend Hans-Ulrich Wehler’s sketch of reasons for modernization crisis in nation-states that is based on relative deprivation, identity-, participation-, distribution-, penetration-, and (culminating in a) legitimation-crisis, for analyzing conflicts in the Middle East as caused by glocal comparison and competition in world society. In summing, I intend to analyze the unrest in the Middle East as caused by glocal relative deprivation. This perspective enables us to deal with glocal political and social processes rather as represented than caused by global cultural or political conflicts between “civilizations” or states.
Does cognition influence the functional impairment degree of post-stroke patients?
Authors: Silva Ozair Argentille Pereira da , Cirne Gabriele Natane de Medeiros , Filho Edson Meneses da Silva , Cacho Enio Walker Azevedo , Cacho Roberta de Oliveira
Published: April 2019

Background: The post-stroke subjects have several sequelae after the disease, which should be investigated and identified so that the clinical treatment includes these people in all aspects. Objective: To identify if there is a correlation between level of education, cognitive function, functional independence and the sensory-motor abilities of post-stroke subjects. Methods: The sample consisted of 27 post-stroke patients who were evaluated through the following scales: Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE), Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMAA) and sociodemographic data collection. Results: A positive and statistically significant correlation was found between MMSE and FIM. When the scores were correlated with education, motor FIM (p = 0.005), total FIM (p = 0.006), temporal orientation MMSE (p = 0.03) and total MMSE (p = 0.01) were statistically significant. Furthermore, a positive correlation but not statistically significant was identified between the cognitive levels and sensory-motor impairment assessed by FMAA. Conclusion: It is concluded that the education of subjects is associated with motor function after stroke. In addition, cognitive impairments interfere with the level of post-stroke functionality, but do not have a direct influence on the degree of sensory-motor impairment.

Published: April 2019

Background: Aging is a physiological process characterized as the beginning of a stage of life in which happen social, physical and psychological changes. Among these, cognitive and functional decline has been one of the most frequent, and may be enhanced by the process of institutionalization. Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe the cognitive and functional profile of elderly residents in a Long-Term Care Institution for the Elderly (LTCI). Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study whose population was composed of elderly people of both genders, residents in the “Associação Feirense de Assistência Social” in Feira de Santana (BA), Brazil. The elderly with physical and mental limitations that made it impossible to perform the functional and cognitive tests were excluded from the study. The survey was completed in December 2017. The Barthel Index, Katz Index, Berg Balance Scale (BERG) and Timed Up and Go (TUG) were used for functional evaluation. The first two tools were used to classify functional independence in the activities of daily living (ADL’s), and the others to categorize risk of fall. It was used the Mini-Mental State Exam to evaluate cognition. In addition, a form was created to collect clinical and sociodemographic variables. The results of this study were described in percentage. Results: From the 35 elderly residents, 25 were included, of which 15 were female, with ages between 62 and 95 years. Regarding Education, 60% are illiterate, 32% have 1 to 4 years, 4% have 5 to 8 years and 4% have 9 to 11 years of studies. 92% of the population presented cognitive alterations. Regarding functionality, 66.6% of the elderly had a dependent gait, with 56.2% of females. In the assessment of the risk of falling, 60% presented moderate risk by TUG and 82.6% presented a high risk by the Berg scale. Considering the Barthel index and the Katz index, 52% had dependence on ADLs. 96% did not practice physical activity and 62.5% did not undergo Physical Therapy. The most frequent comorbidities were arterial hypertension (64.3%) and diabetes mellitus (36%). Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the studied population presents cognitive alterations, gait dependent, greater probability for risk of falls, low level of education and physical activity, besides longevity, which may suggest that the institutionalization process brings negative repercussions for these subjects.

Flotation of copper-bearing carbonaceous shale in the presence of amine type frothers
Authors: Stodulski Michał , Drzymała Jan
Published: April 2019

Hexylamine, chloro-derivative of propylamine, and ammonium chloride were used for flotation of Permian carbonaceous copper bearing shale from the Legnica-Glogow Copper Basin region in SW Poland. It was confirmed that naturally hydrophobic shale, known as Kupferschiefer, can be made floatable by application of short chain amines as frothers. It was also established that the short chain amine chloro-derivatives as well as salmiac, the first member of the amine family, can be used as a frother for flotation of the investigated shale sample. It results from the paper that the investigated amine frothers work similarly if the comparison of the flotation results is made using their concentration expressed in relative form taking into account the critical coalescence concentration of the frother.
Las relaciones entre México y Estados Unidos bajo el gobierno de Trump
Authors: Bodemer Klaus
Published: April 2019

Partiendo del legado histórico pesado de las relaciones entre EE. UU. y su vecino México y utilizando los conceptos analíticos del (neo)realismo y constructivismo social, el artículo hace un balance de estas relaciones bilaterales al final del primer año de la presidencia de Donald Trump. Las áreas prioritarias de la Casa Blanca fueron la construcción de un muro en la frontera, la renegociación (o abolición) del NAFTA y la política migratoria. Los éxitos en estos tres campos de acción son más bien modestos, la brecha entre el discurso y realidad hasta hoy notable, parcialmente como consecuencia del buen funcionamiento de las instituciones democráticas en Washington. Las relaciones bilaterales están, eso sí, bajo estrés, pero no erosionadas. Incertidumbre sigue caracterizando las negociaciones sobre el NAFTA, el estatus de muchos inmigrantes mexicanos (y centroamericanos) en Estados Unidos y el futuro de la cooperación bilateral fronteriza y de seguridad. Las elecciones presidenciales en julio del año en curso amenazan inyectar más incertidumbres no solo en las relaciones bilaterales, sino también con respecto a sus impactos en toda la región.

W artykule przedstawiono sylwetki chrześcijanek żyjących między II/III a V w. Są to Perpetua, Makryna, Marcela wraz ze zgromadzonymi wokół niej kobietami oraz Egeria, Proba, Eudokia i Eucheria. Wykazano, iż – w przeciwieństwie do kobiet żyjących w czasach pogańskich – przedmiotem ich umysłowej aktywności były przede wszystkim sprawy związane z wiarą. Dlatego też koncentrowały się na studiowaniu Pisma Świętego, nauce języków biblijnych, zwiedzaniu miejsc związanych z Biblią, kontemplacji spraw boskich (mistyka). Autorka stwierdza, iż ich przykład przeczy mitowi milczącej i pokornej chrześcijanki.

This paper aims to analyse the forms and functions of the aquatic motif in Saber Assal’s autofictional novel À l’ombre des gouttes. It is a recurring motif that structures the story in various ways: by its regular reappearance (including in the incipit and at the end of the novel), its functionality in the representation of the psychic life of the hero, its symbolic dimension and its emblematic nature for the postcolonial character.
L’eau comme tissu cicatriciel: l’odyssée du Saumon noir de Serge Delaive
Authors: Ślusarska Alicja
Published: April 2019

Water is one of the obsessive themes in Serge Delaive's literary and photographic work. As an image of the in-between, the Delaive’s water symbolizes the fundamental ambivalence of man. It also plays the role of "scar tissue", capable of "stitching" the links of connaturality, removing the boundaries between rootedness and openness, between real and beyond, between past and future, between individual and community, between history and myth, between word and image. Our study aims to analyze this unifying function of water, focusing on three key notions of the story Black salmon (2017): movement, memory and identity.
Sur la conjonction de l'ophélique et du narcissique dans l'œuvre poétique de Georges Rodenbach
Authors: Malinowski Wiesław Mateusz , Sobierajska Alicja
Published: April 2019

The paper examines a special place that the characters of Ophelia and Narcissus, so closely connected with the motif of water, occupy in the poetic imaginarium of George Rodenbach. What we deal with here is an unhealthy obsession within which two characters of literature and mythology, unhappily in love, are presented as two alter egos of the poet himself. An endless sequence of images associating water with death reveals the fascination and trepidation of the symbolist, who uses the Opheliac depths and Narcissus’s water mirror as a reflection of different states of his soul.
System penitencjarny Królestwa Polskiego w okresie międzypowstaniowym (1831–1863). Organizacja i funkcjonowanie miejsc odosobnienia oraz warunki życia osadzonych
Authors: Piątkowski Sebastian
Published: April 2019

W latach 1831–1863 w Królestwie Polskim ścierały się dwie tendencje dotyczące karania przestępców skazanych wyrokami sądowymi. Pierwsza z nich, odwołująca się do rozwiązań z Francji, mówiła, że pobyt w więzieniu powinien być okresem resocjalizacji, pozwalającym więźniowi na powrót do normalnego życia. Druga, czerpiąca z wzorców rosyjskich, głosiła, iż więzienia są właściwie zbędne – przestępcę należy natychmiast ukarać fizycznie lub też wyeliminować ze społeczeństwa, zsyłając w odlegle rejony imperium. Chociaż administracja Królestwa Polskiego skłaniała się ku wzorcom francuskim, nigdy nie dysponowała środkami finansowymi, pozwalającymi zbudować system nowoczesnych aresztów i więzień. Skazanych przetrzymywano w nieprzystosowanych do tego celu budynkach, żywiąc ich, lecząc i transportując przy zastosowaniu skrajnych oszczędności. Nie potrafiono też zapewnić więźniom pracy ani edukacji. W konsekwencji osoby odbywające kary ulegały często deprawacji, odzyskując wolność w znacznie gorszym, niż przed wydaniem wyroku, stanie fizycznym i psychicznym.
Traces of Vlach Migrations in the Toponymy of the Polish Podtatrze Region
Authors: Oczko Anna
Published: April 2019

W gwarach podhalańskich obecne są elementy leksykalne, których pochodzenie wiąże się z migracją pasterzy wołoskich na terenach polskiego Podtatrza. Występują również w toponomastyce. Utworzone zostały najczęściej na podstawie rumuńskich gwarowych apelatywów, np. oronimy Grapa, Magura, a także nazwy wsi lokowanych na prawie wołoskim lub zamieszkanych przez osadników wołoskich, np. Łapsze, Poronin. Na polskim Podtatrzu, które obejmuje Spisz, Podhale i Orawę, wśród 93 miejscowości jedynie w sześciu przypadkach, w stanie obecnych badań, można wskazać etymologię rumuńską (wołoską). Nie jest to jednak ostateczny stan badań i wymagają one kontynuacji.

Przedmiotem edycji źródłowej jest nieznany dotąd rejestr pospolitego ruszenia księstw oświęcimskiego i zatorskiego spisany 18 października 1621 r. pod Lwowem w związku z przeprowadzonym popisem. Jak wiadomo, rejestry z popisów stanowią podstawowy rodzaj źródeł służący, badaniu organizacji, liczebności i funkcjonowania pospolitego ruszenia w dawnej Polsce. Ich wartość polega przede wszystkim na ukazaniu organizacji i liczebności pospolitego ruszenia powiatów, ziem i województw. Publikowany rejestr jest jedynym dotąd rejestrem pospolitego ruszenia z terenu województwa krakowskiego z okresu wojny chocimskiej 1621 r. Według niego obowiązek stawienia się w pospolitym ruszeniu osobiście wypełniło 67 szlachciców, 26 wystawiło poczty, ale nie brało osobistego udziału w wyprawie, 19 pocztów przysłały wdowy w związku z użytkowaniem dóbr mężowskich, z zamieszkanych przez drobną szlachtę dwu wsi wystawiono 2 konie, natomiast 3 miasta położone w obrębie obu księstw, tj. Oświęcim, Kęty i Wadowice dostarczyły łącznie 13 pieszych.

 
The Power of Sound Design in a Moving Picture: an Empirical Study with emoTouch for iPad
Authors: Kock Maximilian , Louven Christoph
Published: April 2019

The art of sound design for a moving picture rests basically on the work experience of pragmatists. This study tries to establish some guidelines on sound design: In an experiment 240 participants gave feedback about their emotions while watching two videos, each combined with four different audio tracks – music, sound effects, full sound design (music and sound effects) and no audio (as the comparative "null" version). Each participant viewed an audiovisual combination once to prevent habituation. The lead author employed a tablet-computer with the emoTouch-application serving as a mapping tool to provide information about the emotional responses. The participants moved a marker on the tablet's touch screen in a two-dimensional rating scale describing their felt immersion and suspense. A 3-factor-ANOVA showed significant increases of the median (and maximum) values of immersion and suspense when the participants listened to music and/ or sound effects. These values were always compared to the induced emotions of the participants who watched the videos with no audio at all. The video with full sound design audio tracks increased the median immersion values up to four times and the median suspense values up to 1.4 times. The median suspense values of the video with either music or sound effects dropped by 40 percent compared to the median suspense values of the null version. In contrast, the median immersion values were increased up to 3.6 times. The findings point to the importance of sound effects in an appropriate mix with music to enhance the viewers induced immersion and suspense.

Determination of the stress state and the specific force during severe plastic deformation in a closed die
Authors: Andreyachshenko Violetta A. , Ashkeyev Zhasulan A. , Abdiramanov Serikbol T.
Published: April 2019

This article describes the results of a study that looked at the stress state and the specific force or contact pressure through the application of the slip line method and computer simulation (i.e. using the Deform 3D software package) when a workpiece was subjected to severe plastic deformation (SPD) in a special closed die. SPD is achieved when a flat punch is embedded in a round workpiece enclosed in the die and alternately compressed by a ring-shaped punch. Analysis of the results shows that compressive stresses prevail in the deformation zone resulting in the production of blanks with ultrafine-grained and/or nanostructure, as well as high mechanical properties. The relative discrepancy between the results obtained through the slip line method and those obtained through modelling in Deform 3D was about 1.3% indicating that the results can be considered reliable. It should be noted that this closed-die technique can be used to produce such products as gears, i.e. heavy-duty parts.

The use of air conditioners (ACs) in homes has become a necessity in urban cities such as Lagos State. The rapid growth in the use of AC has been attributed majorly to protection from high thermal exposures. However, there have been controversies regarding physiological discomforts attributed to AC use. This study therefore seeks to elucidate the associations between AC use and some selected physical ailments using random samples from Lagos State. A structured questionnaire was administered to 200 randomly selected participants. The responses were scored, and the data were analyzed accordingly. The study showed that AC devices were mostly used in sitting room > bedroom > offices > vehicles. The frequency of cold, fever, headache, and chest pain significantly (p < 0.01) associate with the use of AC in both sitting room and bedroom. The prevalence of the associated ailments increased with increase in the AC contact duration (>6 h) among AC users evaluated in the study. Most of the participants (>70%) agreed that AC use brings thermal comfort and therefore is good to health. However, prolonged exposure in indoor AC environments increased the risk of physiological discomfort for the AC users in this study. The authors therefore suggest health workers to create awareness to educate AC users of the likely dangers with prolonged exposure.
Features of the orbital motion control of geostationary satellites in the conditions of their collocation
Authors: Sukhoy Yu.G. , Braginets V.F. , Mescheryakov V.M.
Published: April 2019

The article describes the analysis of features of safe orbital motion control for two geostationary satellites in one orbital zone. Under the given assumptions and limitations, the methods of controlling the satellite orbit eccentricities and inclinations by means of corrections, ensuring the implementation of the I-E-collocation method, are investigated. The result of research is the development of rational strategies for controlling the orbit eccentricities and inclinations of two satellites. The strategy of controlling eccentricity is a modification of the sun pointing perigee strategy and is called the quasi-sun pointing perigee strategy. The strategy of controlling inclinations takes into account the evolution of the orbital inclinations under the influence of the gravitational potentials of the Sun and the Moon in certain periods of the year and at different positions of the Moon orbit line of nodes. The developed strategies provide for reducing the fuel cost for the orbital parameter corrections at collocation of two satellites since eccentricity corrections are partially combined with corrections of satellite hold in longitude, and inclination corrections are performed in the most rational direction opposite to the direction of inclination vector growth
