Atypical sound perception in ASD explained by inter-trial (in)consistency in EEG.
Authors: Latinus Marianne , Mofid Yassine , Kovarski Klara , Charpentier Judith , Batty Magali , Bonnet-Brilhault Frederique
Published: December 2018

A relative indifference to the human voice is a characteristic of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Yet, studies of voice perception in ASD provided contradictory results: one study described an absence of preferential response to voices in ASD while another reported a larger activation to vocal sounds than environmental sounds, as seen in typically developed (TD) adults. In children with ASD, an absence of preferential response to vocal sounds was attributed to an atypical response to environmental sounds. To have a better understanding of these contradictions, we re-analyzed the data from sixteen children with ASD and sixteen age-matched TD children to evaluate both inter- and intra-subject variability. Intra-subject variability was estimated with a single-trial analysis of electroencephalographic data, through a measure of inter-trial consistency, which is the proportion of trials showing a positive activity in response to vocal and non-vocal sounds. Results demonstrate a larger inter-subject variability in response to non-vocal sounds, driven by a subset of children with ASD (7/16) who do not show the expected negative Tb peak in response to non-vocal sounds around 200ms after the start of the stimulation. A logistic regression model with age and clinical parameters allowed demonstrating that not a single parameter discriminated the subgroups of ASD participants. Yet, the electrophysiologically-based groups differed on a linear combination of parameters. Children with ASD showing a reduced inter-trial consistency were younger and characterized by lower verbal developmental quotient and less attempt to communicate by voice. This data suggests that a lack of specialization for processing social signal may stem from an atypical processing of environmental sounds, linked to the development of general communication abilities. Discrepancy reported in the literature may arise from that heterogeneity and it may be inadequate to divide children with ASD on the basis of only intellectual quotient or language abilities. This analysis could be a useful tool in providing complementary informtion for the functional diagnostic of ASD and evaluating verbal communication impairment.
The dominance, prestige, and leadership account of social power motives
Authors: Suessenbach Felix , Loughnan Steve , Schönbrodt Felix D. , Moore Adam
Published: December 2018

The power motive predicts influential social behaviour; however, its heterogeneous conceptualisations have produced inconsistent results. To overcome this problem, we developed and validated a unitary taxonomy of social power motives based on established delineations of social hierarchies: the dominance, prestige, and leadership account. While we could measure these motives both reliably and distinctively (study 1), we also showed they strongly related to a common power desire (study 2). Assessing their nomological networks (studies 3 and 4), we demonstrated distinct associations between the dominance motive (D: wanting to coerce others into adhering to one’s will) and anger and verbal aggression; the prestige motive (P: wanting to obtain admiration and respect) and the fear of losing reputation and claiming to have higher moral concerns; the leadership motive (L: wanting to take responsibility in and for one’s group) and emotional stability and helping behaviour. Furthermore, while D uniquely predicted agonistic/retaliatory behaviour in dictator games (study 5), L uniquely predicted the attainment of higher employment ranks in various professions (study 7). Finally, at least to some degree, P and L related positively, and D negatively to prosocial donating behaviour (study 6). This taxonomy represents a novel and powerful approach to predicting influentialsocial behaviour.

A Variação Linguística do Português Moçambicano: uma Análise Sociolinguística da Variedade em Uso
Authors: ´Timbane Alexandre António
Published: December 2018

Moçambique é um país multilíngue onde convivem línguas bantu, o português, o gujarati, o híndi e o árabe. O português é a língua oficial e é de uso obrigatório na educação e nas instituições públicas, mas cria impasses, porque os cidadãos não dominam a norma-padrão europeia. Por sua vez, o Português de Moçambique (PM) é uma variedade que resulta de contextos sociolinguísticos e da diversidade cultural. Nesse contexto, a presente pesquisa discute a situação do PM tendo em conta as variáveis sociais e explica as características léxico-semânticas e sintáticas. Tendo rodado os dados no GoldVarb 2001, concluiu-se que o PM se manifesta de forma mais visível a nível fonético e léxico-semântico. Além disso, observou-se que os estrangeirismos provenientes das línguas bantu são necessários. De modo geral, destaca-se que o Português é uma língua moçambicana falada como língua materna pela minoria (10.7%) e que tende a crescer devido à educação gratuita, obrigatória e inclusiva incentivada pela política linguística.

On Intentionality and Motivation in Digital Spaces
Authors: Halupka Max
Published: December 2018

Wood and Flinders posit that intentionality and motivation
are critical sites of analysis when determining whether an act is, or should
be made out to be, political or apolitical. I agree with this assertion—both
the intention behind an actor’s act, for example, what motivates the action,
must be taken into consideration before such classifications are made. Yet,
intentionality and motivation are more complicated and problematic than
the authors make them out to be—especially online.
Reshaping the Political Order in Israel, 1965–1967
Authors: Weitz Yechiam
Published: December 2018

This article examines the major changes in the Israeli political
arena, on both the left and right, in the two years before the 1967 War. The
shift was marked by the establishment in 1965 of the right-wing Gahal
(the Herut-Liberal bloc) and of the Labor Alignment, the semi-merger of
Israel’s two main left-wing parties, Mapai and Ahdut HaAvodah. Some
dissatisfied Mapai members broke away from the Alignment and formed
a new party, Rafi, under the leadership of David Ben-Gurion. They did
not gain nearly enough Knesset seats to take power in the November
1965 election, but Rafi did become part of the emergency national unity
government that was formed in June 1967, due largely to the weak position
of Levi Eshkol as prime minister. This enabled Rafi’s Moshe Dayan
to assume the minister of defense position on the eve of the Six-Day War,
which began on 5 June 1967.

Are Porphyromonas gingivalis Outer Membrane Vesicles Microbullets for Sporadic Alzheimer’s Disease Manifestation?
Authors: Singhrao Sim K. , Olsen Ingar
Published: December 2018

Our research into Alzheimer’s disease (AD) focuses on the oral cavity and the brain, from which key evaluations of prospective and retrospective population-based data have shown that chronic periodontal disease existing for ten-years or over doubles the risk for the sporadic form of AD. Furthermore, Porphyromonas gingivalis ( P. gingivalis) mono-infections in established periodontal lesions, or introducing its lipopolysachharide (LPS), as demonstrated in in vivo studies, show hallmark pathology inclusive of extracellular amyloid plaques and phospho-tau bound neurofibrillary tangles with AD-like phenotype. Other studies have shown that if periodontitis remains untreated in human AD patients, cognitive decline ensues. This is a bi-directional relationship meaning that the converse is also true; treating periodontal disease in AD patients improves memory. Bacterial cultures and established oral biofilms generate vast numbers of microvesicles and P. gingivalis outer membrane vesicles encase key virulence factors (LPS, gingipains, capsule, fimbriae) as though they are complete destructive “microbullets” when shed in the host. This provides P. gingivalis additional arsenal to manipulate its entry into disparate organs, hijack phagocytosis, destroy tissues, and affect complement related genes while transducing the onset of proinflammatory signaling cascades. The resulting inflammatory mediators may be the cause of disease defining lesions and cognitive decline typical of clinical AD.
The effect of surface roughness on human stiffness feeling
Authors: Kang Semin , Okuyama Takeshi , Tanaka Mami
Published: December 2018

This study aims to elucidate the effect of surface roughness on feeling of stiffness. In order to clarify the effect of surface roughness, we focus on the fingertip motion during the sensory evaluation of stiffness feeling. In this paper, the pair comparison method was used in sensory evaluation with two kinds of instruction. One is that subjects evaluated stiffness of samples freely. The other is that subjects evaluated them with feeling the surface roughness. During the sensory evaluation, subject’s fingertip trajectories and contact force with the samples were measured. From the results of sensory evaluation, it was found that surface roughness obviously affected feeling of stiffness in the case of instruction that subjects evaluated them with feeling the surface roughness.

Effect of the temperature on the off-diagonal Giant Magneto-Impedance (GMI) sensors
Authors: Nabias Julie , Asfour Aktham , Yonnet Jean Paul
Published: December 2018

The influence of the temperature on the off-diagonal GMI sensors was studied. The sample was a Co-rich amorphous wire of 100 μm diameter and 5 cm long. The range of investigated temperature was [20 °C; 120 °C]. It included the industrial range. Particular attention was paid to the temperature dependence of the intrinsic sensitivity and offset of the off-diagonal component of the impedance tensor which are the most relevant parameters for the sensor implementation The results showed that the intrinsic odd symmetry of this off-diagonal component with respect to the zero field-point was not modified with temperature. The quasi-zero offset was also very little changed. The sensitivity near the zero-field was increased with temperature by about 36%. Furthermore, a general comparison, based on previous reported results, with the diagonal component of the impedance tensor showed that sensitivity was increased in an almost similar way for both components, but the off-diagonal component clearly exhibited best offset stability.
Alternative Regionalökonomie
Authors: Fücks Ralf
Published: December 2018

Seit einigen Jahren geistert durch die regionalwirtschaftliche Diskussion der Bundesrepublik ein Begriff, der mittlerweile auch Eingang in die Politik gefunden hat: das »Nord-Süd Gefälle«. Die Analogie zum globalen Dualismus von »reichem Norden« und »armem Süden«, von dominierenden Metropolen und abhängiger Peripherie des Weltmarkts erscheint frivol, da es sich doch um Ungleichgewichte innerhalb einer Gesellschaft von außerordentlicher Wirtschaftskraft und hohem Konsumstandard handelt. Gleichwohl ist diese Analogie nicht ganz sinnlos: wenn sich Wirtschaftswachstum, Steueraufkommen, Beschäftigungsniveau und Wohlstand innerhalb der Bundesrepublik weiter so auseinanderentwickeln wie im letzten Jahrzehnt, wird sich die bisherige relative Einheitlichkeitder Lebensverhältnisse auflösen. An ihre Stelle wird die wachsende Kluft zwischen dynamischen und prosperierenden Zentren von Industrie, Dienstleistungen, Forschungund Finanzen auf der einen Seite, industriellen Krisen- und sozialen Notstandsregionen auf der anderen Seite treten. Insofern nähert sich die Bundesrepublik nur der kapitalistischen Normalität, wie sie etwa in Italien, England oder den USA sehr viel schärfer ausgebildet ist
Vom Lauf der Zeit. Eine Kritik an Fernand Braudel
Authors: Gerstenberger Heide
Published: December 2018

Mal um Mal hat Fernand Braudel die Einheit der »sciences de l'homme«, der Wissenschaften von Menschen, beschworen. Immer wieder hat er hervorgehoben, in welchem Ausmaß die Geschichtsforschung dieses Jahrhunderts von der Geographie, der Psychologie,der Soziologie, Ökonomie, Ethnologie und Biologie gelernt habe, um dann jeweils darauf hinzuweisen, wie unverzichtbar die Geschichtswissenschaft für die Gesellschafts- und Humanwissenschaften sei (1969, Teil II). Dies nicht nur, weil sie dazu befähige, allzu kurzgriffige Fragestellungen zu vermeiden, sondern vor allem, weil die Geschichtsforschung die »einzige Verifikationsmöglichkeit« für die Schlußfolgerungen der Gesellschaftswissenschaften biete (III, S. 11). Braudel geht jedoch noch weiter und vertritt das Projekt einer Einheit der Sozialwissenschaften.
Die Rolle von Niedriglohnperipherien in den globalen Wertschöpfungsketten der Automobilindustrie

Published: December 2018

Die Rolle von Niedriglohnperipherien in den globalen Wertschöpfungsketten der Automobilindustrie. Der Fall Mittelosteuropas. Welche Perspektiven bietet die Inklusion in die globalen Wertschöpfungsketten der Automobilindustrie für Niedriglohnperipherien? Am Beispiel Mittelosteuropas zeigt der vorliegende Artikel eine ambivalente Entwicklung. Auf der einen Seite haben die mittelosteuropäischen Standorte der Automobilindustrie eine tiefgreifende Modernisierung von Produkten und Technologien durchlaufen. Auf der anderen Seite bleibt die Region höchst abhängig von Verbrennungsmotortechnologien, während Innovationsaktivitäten im Bereich von Zukunftstechnologien (z.B. Elektromobilität) sehr begrenzt sind. Zudem hat die Dominanz neoliberaler Politikstrategien in Mittelosteuropa eine Entkopplung der wirtschaftlichen von der sozialen Entwicklung in Form stagnierender Löhne sowie fehlender Investitionen in Aus- und Weiterbildung gefördert.
Das Ende des Autos, wie wir es kannten?
Authors: Haas Tobias
Published: December 2018

Die Automobilität ist im Wandel begriffen. Wie verändert sich ihre kulturelle Bedeutung vor dem Hintergrund der zunehmenden Digitalisierung und der absehbaren Elektrifizierung des Autoverkehrs? Einerseits deuten intermodale Mobilitätspraktiken auf einen gewissen Bedeutungsverlust des Autos hin, andererseits ist der SUV-Boom Ausdruck einer wachsenden sozialen Polarisierung und Aufwertung des Autos. Der Artikel kommt zu dem Schluss, dass es derzeit nur wenige Anzeichen für eine Erosion der Automobilität gibt, aber klare Signale für eine Erneuerung unter den Bedingungen des flexiblen und digitalen Kapitalismus.

Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study involving 233 dengue fever indoor cases. Complete clinical findings were recorded followed by laboratory and other diagnostic tests. Results: Most of the cases were admitted from peri-urban areas of Islamabad with symptoms of fever. Seasonal patterns of typical post-monsoon and clusters of cases from low socio-economic backgrounds from areas of Bhara Kau, Bari-Imam, Sohan and G6 and G-7 sectors were found. Platelets and WBCs counts were found on the lower side of the normal values. IgM and IgG and NS1 tests were performed. Affected age group) was young (20-40 years) and male gender being more exposed to vector. Conclusion: Dengue has emerged in the poor peri-urban areas of Islamabad typically in post-monsoon seasons reaching peak during the months of September , gradually declining and waning off in the month of December. A combination of clinical symptoms and diagnostic tests IgM, IgG and NS1 could greatly help in early diagnosis and treatment of cases thus minimizing compilations and mortality.
Latent heat from rice cooking to disinfect drinking water
Authors: Khandaker Nadim , Rashid Shirya
Published: December 2018

During the monsoon season the water distribution systems in the cities of Bangladesh, a developing country, has its distribution pipelines compromised due to water intrusion. This produces outbreaks of waterborne diseases. An easy solution is simply boiling the water before drinking. Unfortunately, this practice is limited due to fuel shortage or added fuel expense incurred. The affected population ends up using simple filters that is not effective in removing disease causing microorganisms from water. Every household in Bangladesh eats rice as their main staple and it is cooked twice a day for lunch and dinner. The method used is boiling and then simmering rice in a pot. The rice cooking process generates water vapor, which we are trapping and condensing by a stacked pot water heater/disinfector in a very simple way to utilize the latent heat to heat water to a required temperature and duration for disinfection. The efficacy of the process was evaluated in a controlled experimental program. The results indicated that our process would heat the water to temperatures that would inactivate pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and protozoa by raising the water temperature to 76.6 ±0.9oC, utilizing the latent heat generated from rice cooking. Further, if one wants to bring the water to rolling boiling, it requires ~ 3.0 minutes of additional direct heating after preheating with our system. This additional heating would require a normal expenditure of LPG of 0.073kg to bring to boil 10 L of water after preheating; whereas direct heating to bring 10 L of water to boil from an ambient temperature of 23.0oCwould require 0.24 Kg of LPG. We feel that this system will go a long way to address this public health crisis faced every year in Bangladesh and to address the safe water crisis faced by the million plus Rohyangya refugees from Burma living in makeshift camps in Bangladesh. In addition, our system can be utilized in other developing countries to provide safe drinking water.

Authors: Kumari Veena , Kapur Deeksha
Published: December 2018

Background: Now a days trend of eating out has increased so also the responsibility of catering establishments to serve safe and wholesome food to its consumers. In India food safety is currently considered to be an important issue for all the stakeholders in the area of food production. This study was conducted to understand food handlers perceptions, opinions, beliefs to compliance to food safety standards in the catering establishments in Delhi.
Methods: Nine focus group sessions were conducted with catering establishments owners ,administrators and food handlers ,from March to September 2017. One FGD was conducted in each District of Delhi , India ,with 6 to 8 participants in each group to identify their barriers, opinions and belief systems to compliances to food safety operations in the catering establishments. Focus group were conducted using a questionnaire having check points for discussions with participants which included questions related to personal hygiene and their understanding to FSSAI norms and facilities. Hygiene game (word hunt game) was also developed and was played with participants to build rapport before focus group sessions.
Results: A total of 64 food handlers including catering establishments owners and administrators participated in focus group discussions . Affinity diagram had been used to compile data and six themes emerged out of interactive sessions which reflected the participant’s perception, barriers, opinions and belief systems to compliance to food safety norms and standards in the catering establishments. Though the participants realized the importance of implementing food safety standard principles but being busy with their daily routine jobs ,they had never tried to gather relevant information .They had also addressed other major barriers like attachment with their old deep rooted practices and pressure of delivering orders on time, less space and poor infrastructure facilities.
Conclusions: The perceived barriers gathered from these focus groups sessions can provide a base to sensitize the catering establishment administrators/owners and workers towards the specific food safety needs.

Does the kappa number method accurately reflect lignin content in nonwood pulps?
Authors: Burkhardt Sabrina
Published: December 2018

The traditional kappa number method was developed in 1960 as a way to more quickly determine the level of lignin remaining in a completed or in-progress pulp. A significantly faster approach than the Klason lignin procedure, the kappa number method is based on the reaction of a strong oxidizing agent (KMnO4) with lignin and small amounts of other organic functional groups present in the pulp, such as hexenuronic acid. While the usefulness of the kappa number for providing information about bleaching requirements and pulp properties has arguably transformed the pulp and paper industry, it has been mostly developed for kraft, sulfite, and soda wood pulps. Nonwood species have a different chemical makeup than hardwood or softwood sources. These chemical differ-ences can influence kappa and Klason measurements on the pulp and lead to wide ranges of error. Both original data from Sustainable Fiber Technologies’ sulfur and chlorine-free pulping process and kappa and Klason data from various nonwood pulp literature sources will be presented to challenge the assumption that the kappa number accurately represents lignin content in nonwood pulps.

El efecto horizontal de los derechos fundamentales en el contexto de constitucionalización global del régimen jurídico privado digital
Authors: Castañeda Méndez Juan Alberto
Published: December 2018

El presente trabajo tiene por tesis central el reconocimiento de la eficacia horizontal de los derechos fundamentales en el proceso de constitucionalización global del régimen jurídico privado digital. Para tal efecto se ha empleado un diseño de corte transaccional y la técnica de análisis dual de contenidos. El principal resultado es la eficacia de la horizontalidad, expresada en su validez y legitimidad en Internet(uno de los fragmentos globales). La conclusión, a manera de un corolario provisional, plantea que en el reconocimiento de los derechos en ámbitos privados se debe pensar en la fuerza normativa que tienen estos por su naturaleza intrínseca, independientemente de la Constitución de un Estado.
EL juez en el neoconstitucionalismo y su papel en el sistema de control difuso de constitucionalidad en Colombia
Authors: Petro González Ingrid Regina
Published: December 2018

El presente ensayo tiene un enfoque de investigación cualitativo y un alcance descriptivo, por ello, la metodología utilizada para su construcción corresponde a la revisión documental o bibliográfica que permite analizar el papel de los jueces en el control difuso de constitucionalidad. Para esto se tendrá en cuenta elmarco del neoconstitucionalismo colombiano. El principal hallazgo obtenido es que el papel de los jueces en un ordenamiento jurídico no debe sobreentenderse como el cumplimiento de funciones mecánicas y prestablecidas, sino que debe obedecer al contexto social en el que se desempeñe e ir de la mano con eldesarrollo de los pueblos y la evolución del derecho que rige en ellos. Así pues, el neoconstitucionalismo, como teoría del derecho, plantea el estudio de las nuevas formas, conceptos y procedimientos que surgen a partir de las constituciones modernas y que imponen retos a todas las instituciones, entre ellas lasjudiciales. El sistema de control difuso de constitucionalidad es una de las figuras que exige ser analizada, estructurada y asumida como un reto a la luz del neoconstitucionalismo en la experiencia y el contexto propio colombiano.
No violencias contra la mujer. Derecho humano de carácter absoluto
Authors: Rodríguez Bermúdez Zulay María
Published: December 2018

El presente artículo propone una reflexión en cuanto al tema de la violencia contra la mujer, basada en el género, fenómeno social que ha recibido categoría de problema de salud pública. Su contenido está basado en estudios sobre la tolerancia a la violencia contra la mujer, los mitos que la perpetúan, las clasesde violencia de la que ella puede ser víctima, solo por el hecho de ser mujer, y los diferentes daños que a una mujer se ocasionan como consecuencia de las distintas clases de violencia que se le pueden infligir. También propone una reflexión sobre las causas que le impiden a una mujer violentada poner distanciasfísicas y emocionales con el victimario y las obligaciones de la familia, la sociedad y el Estado (a través de las distintas autoridades administrativas involucradas en la prevención y atención de estos casos), a la luz de la Ley 1257 de 2008, como corresponsables de la prevención de tal tipo de violencia y de la restauraciónintegral de una mujer víctima de agresión.

El cierre de edición de este número de la Revista Mario Alario D’ Filippo de la Facultad de Derecho y Ciencias Políticas de la Universidad de Cartagena coincide con una de las mayores crisis de legitimidad sobre la justicia colombiana, cuestionamientos que a su vez inciden en la discusión sobre la importancia de la ética en la enseñanza del derecho. Interrogantes sobre la justicia con mayores similitudes que distancias de aquellos que Platón en boca de Sócrates y Calicles se planteaba en el Gorgias, o en las reflexiones de la República.
