Recalling experiences: Looking at momentary, retrospective and global assessments of relationship satisfaction
Authors: Zygar-Hoffmann Caroline , Schönbrodt Felix D.
Published: May 2019

Relationship satisfaction can be assessed globally, in retrospection or in the moment as a state. Each assessment modality captures the evaluation of individuals’ relationships in a different resolution and comes with its own advantages and limitations. In two experience sampling studies (N = 130 and N = 510) which included global evaluations and a retrospection on the study period, the specificities of the different assessment modalities are examined. We show that 1) retrospective as well as global evaluations best describe the mean of relationship satisfaction states; 2) retrospection introduces an overestimation of the amount of annoyance individuals report experiencing in their relationship on a momentary basis, which results in an overall negative mean-level bias for relationship satisfaction; 3) this bias is most strongly moderated by global relationship satisfaction at the time of retrospection, but also more generally by satisfaction and identity-related beliefs; 4) momentary snapshots of relationship satisfaction get representative of global evaluations after approximately two weeks of sampling. The retrospective bias found in the current studies extends the general bias found for the retrospection of negative affective states to the domain of relationship evaluations. More generally, the results strengthen the understanding of the different assessment modalities, illustrating their validity, their limits thereof and assist researchers in designing effective experience sampling studies to avoid systematic measurement errors introduced by recall.

Published: May 2019

Prior research in working memory (WM) has been hampered by measurement variability and a lack of integration of neural and clinical markers. This study sought to examine whether a multi-level composite of WM with neural, cognitive, and behavioral levels could predict childhood affective symptomatology in seventeen children and adolescents receiving outpatient mental health services. WM-related theta/gamma oscillations at the F3 electrode were measured via electroencephalography (EEG) recording during a spatial WM task. Other measures included a neuropsychological measure of WM, parent questionnaire assessing WM, and self-reported affective symptoms. Gamma power and theta-gamma coupling, but not theta power, predicted high WM demands performance (i.e., 16-19% of variance). Two composite scores were created consisting of gamma power or theta-gamma coupling, clinical WM measure performance, and parent-reported WM symptoms. These multi-level composite score predicted self-reported depressive (22-32% of variance) symptoms, while only the gamma-version of the composite predicted anxious symptoms (39% of variance compared to 12% of variance). A WM composite score consisting of neural, cognitive, and behavioral levels predicted the severity of childhood affective symptomatology. WM, like other EFs, is highly complex and may be most appropriately measured in clinical and research settings with a combination of neural, cognitive, and behavioral measures.

Published: May 2019

The present cross-sectional study tested for differences in motivation during adolescence relative to childhood and adulthood in autism. 156 typically developing individuals and 79 individuals with autism ages 10-30 years of age completed a go/nogo task with social and non-social cues. To assess age effects, linear (age increasing or decreasing) and quadratic (adolescent-specific) models were used. Consistent with prior studies, typically developing adolescents and young adults demonstrated more false alarms for positive relative to neutral social cues. In autism, there were no changes in attention across age for social or non-social cues. The lack of an age effect in autism suggests reduced orienting to motivating cues during adolescence and early adulthood. The findings provide an additional perspective to explain the unique challenges for adolescents with autism as well as difficulties with transitioning to adulthood.
Digital Remains Made Public: Sharing the dead online and our future digital mortuary landscape
Authors: Ulguim Priscilla
Published: May 2019

We live in the information age, and our lives are increasingly digitized. Our quotidian has been transformed over the last fifty years by the adoption of innovative networking and computing technology. The digital world presents opportunities for public archaeology to engage, inform and interact with people globally. Yet, as more personal data are published online, there are growing concerns over privacy, security, and the long-term implications of sharing digital information. These concerns extend beyond the living, to the dead, and are thus important considerations for archaeologists who share the stories of past people online. This analysis argues that the ‘born-digital’ records of humanity may be considered as public digital mortuary landscapes, representing death, memorialization and commemoration. The potential for the analysis of digital data from these spaces could result in a phenomenon approaching immortality, whereby artificial intelligence is applied to the data of the dead. This paper investigates the ethics of a digital public archaeology of the dead while considering the future of our digital lives as mnemonic spaces, and their implications for the living.Ulguim, P.

Alterpodes: Communication biases in plausible reasoning about geographic perception of place and space
Authors: Matei Sorin , Parisi Lorenza , Comunello Francesa , Vibber Kelley
Published: May 2019

This study builds on existing work on cartographic thinking in everyday life to better understand how digital and/or traditional media influence our perceptions of continental scale geography. Using a mixed, US-Italian sample of college students living in cities on similar latitudes, we found that there is a bias in placing U.S. cities further north and European cities further south than where they should be. Such biases reflect a process of ‘plausible reasoning,’ which assumes that places are located cartographically in a biased way due to cultural-cognitive processes facilitated by media. The specific media found to be related with such biases in this study and directions for future research are discussed.

Comparative analysis of antimicrobial drugs recommended by medical and technological documents for the treatment of patients with community-acquired pneumonia
Authors: Iakovlieva L. V. , Bahlai T. O. , KHOMENKO O. V.
Published: May 2019

Today community-acquired pneumonia remains one of the leading causes of death as a result of infectious diseases. For effective treatment must be guided by such guidelines which would take into account not only recent world experience in the field of antimicrobial therapy but also regional peculiarities of the microbial spectrum and the resistance to pathogens of this nosology.

The aim of the work was to conduct a comparative analysis of antimicrobial drugs recommended for the treatment for patients with community-acquired pneumonia.

The assortment of major antimicrobial drugs was studied according to the «Pharmstandard» system of the «Morion» company. Also, the research used data of medical and technological documentation of Ukraine, Great Britain, USA.

Current the Unified Protocol for the provision of medical care to adult patients with community-acquired pneumonia and the State Medicines Directive offer almost identical antimicrobial drugs and differ only in those that do not have a proof-based basis. Leading international sources recommend a smaller number of drugs whose trade names are sufficient in the domestic market, and pharmacological properties suggest a rational pharmacotherapy of patients with community-acquired pneumonia when using them.

Medical and technological documents offer for pharmacotherapy of patients with community-acquired pneumonia more than 20 preparations with more than 500 product names mainly present on the domestic market; in foreign directions a number of drugs (cefaclor, flucloxacillin, temocylin, piperacillin, colistin) are recommended, which are not in the domestic documentation, whose pharmacological properties and price range are rational to have for treatment of patients with community-acquired pneumonia.

Authors: Thành Bùi Trung , Vân Phạm Hùng , Hải Trần Hoàng
Published: May 2019

Serum samples containing hepatitis B virus (HBV) used as biological sample to examine DNA extraction capability at different nanoparticles (NPs) sizes and amounts were investigated in this study. The magnetite (Fe3O4) NPs synthesized by co-precipitation method were size about of 10 nm with the magnetic saturation of 60.02 emu/g. Using solvothermal method with different synthesis times obtained the Fe3O4 NPs sizes of about 32, 60 and 100 nm with the magnetic saturations of 88.82, 83.69 and 80.29 emu/g, respectively. The synthesized Fe3O4 NPs had superparamagnetic properties. By Stöber method, the Fe3O4 NPs were coated with SiO2 (Fe3O4@SiO2) to form Si-OH groups through which the NPs could adsorb DNA via hydrogen bonds. The properties, morphology, size and DNA adsorption capacity of the NPs were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The results showed that synthesized Fe3O4@SiO2 NPs could extract HBV DNA. The Fe3O4@SiO2 NPs obtained from 10 nm Fe3O4 NPs had better HBV DNA extraction. At high HBV concentration (109 copies/mL), using 3 or 4 mg of Fe3O4@SiO2 NPs (10 nm Fe3O4) could extract more HBV DNA than using 2 mg.

Pekerjaan tanah berupa timbunan serta beban rencana dari lokasi pekerjaan itu tidak terlepas dengan permasalahan air yang terkandung didalamnya, tanah tersusun atas butir–butir tanah (skeleton), ukuran butir tanah akan membedakan tingkat permeabilitas yang dimiliki tanah itu. Kajian ini bermaksud untuk mendapatkan suatu informasi mengenai apa yang menjadi permasalahan tentang; settlement, waktu consolidasi serta waktu percepatan dengan pemasangan prefabricated vertical drain(PVD) geotektile maupun penggunaan sand column/ tiang pasir, hal ini yang menjadi latar belakang kajian ini. Parameter tanah berupa data SPT, sifat fisis tanah, batas–batas Atterberg tanah, metode pengambilan tanah asli (undistrubed) dengan cara melakukan pemboran di lokasi rencana konstruksi yang akan ditempatkan berlandaskan- ASTM D 1452, 1587, 1586. Kajian ini berdasarkan data bor log SPTBH6 B1, koefisien compresi di tanah cohesive jenis lempung organis sedangkan koefisien consolidasi berdasarkan formula Terzaghi dan Peck, 1976. Parameter tanah berdasarkan data lapangan pembangunan jalur kereta api Semarang-Grobogan pekerjaan menaikan tinggi level jembatan dan jalur KAI akibat rob pantai utara diatas tanah lunak/ rawa-rawa dari pekerjaan PT KAI Jawa Tengah Tahun anggaran 2017 serta Dinamika Konsultan cv sebagai konsultan perencana pada bulan September 2017. Perbaikan tanah lunak yang tebal dilakukan dengan melakukan percepatan consolidasi, hal ini dapat dicapai dengan penggunaan vertical dan horizontal drainberdasarkan teori consolidasi radial dan polar Baron serta perhitungan peningkatan tekanan total ∆σpada beban merata q pada bidang persegi, faktor pengaruh tekanan Fadum (1948). Daerah pengaruh drainase vertical tergantung configurasi pemasangan dari vertical drain, pada kajian ini configurasi berupa segi empat. Polythelane berbentuk persegi panjang dikonversi kebentuk lingkaran untuk analisa sand column. Factor hambat λ Yoshikuni (1990) merupakan fungsi dari permeabilitas k sehingga didapatkan faktor waktu terpasang vertical drain. Dari hasil kajian ini didapatkan besar settlement 2.07 m dengan waktu consolidasi tanpa vertical drain selama 19.68 tahun sedangkan waktu consolidasi terpasang PVD Geotextil menjadi 5.21 bulan dengan panjang geotextil 8 m dan configurasi pemasangan segi empat, jarak antar PVD sebesar 1.75 m sedangkan setelah terpasang Sand Column/ tiang pasir didapatkan waktu consolidasi sebesar 4.65 bulan. hal ini dikarenakan geotextile maupun pasir memiliki nilai permeabilitas yang tinggi. Pasir sebagai vertical maupun horizontal drain dapat meningkatkan shear strength dari tanah sehingga daya dukung dari tanah akan meningkat. Penggunaan geotextile dan pasir dapat dilakukan secara kombinasi dengan pemilihan configurasi pemasangan di lapangan. Geotextile sebagai horizontal drain (HD) harus diperhatikan jalur dan elevasinya agar maximal dalam mengalirkan air kearah samping.

Voy a hablarles de la ficción. El Diccionario de la Lengua Españolarelaciona esta palabra con fingir, que significa simular. Dar existencia ideal, dice, a lo que realmente no la tiene. La ficción se relaciona con la invención, con la creación imaginaria, con la fantasía, con la literatura. Por eso decimos que Las mil y una noches es una ficción, así como Moby Dick o Los tres mosqueteros. Cada una de estas historias finge una serie de situaciones: Sherezada distrayendo al rey con maravillosos relatos; el capitán Ahab luchando contra una ballena blanca; el joven D’Artagnan construyendo su destino en París. Por tradición sabemos quiénes son Sherezada, el capitán Ahab y D ́Artagnan. Casi resultan más conocidos que nuestros vecinos. A diferencia de nuestros vecinos, sin embargo, a quienes podríamos encontrar en la calle para conversar, los personajes mencionados sólo existen dentro de las obras literarias en las que fueron concebidos. Son personajes de ficción; estan hechos de palabras.

As we know today, Indonesia has entered the era of revolution 4.0 which in that era had a major influence on the changes that took place in all fields. Including in the field of education, in particular, the changes that occur in the world of education today are so rapid with the abandonment of learning methods that still use conventional methods. Doing tasks with books, face-to-face communication, collecting assignments in hard copy, which will certainly cause a lot of losses in a certain period of time, such as many assignments that are long buried and difficult to find when needed. This method is certainly considered a boring and time-consuming method, where students cannot explore in the learning process which will take a long time to do a manual search for the number of files that have been collected. At present, the application of learning methods with concepts organizes many reports on the work of assignments on a website content management system. This learning method is made to maximize the way to organize student assignment reports for time management efficiency, therefore this learning method can be applied as the management of education in higher education. It is expected that the existence of this method can improve time management in learning so that it motivates to explore abilities in the existing learning process

Published: May 2019

Este estudio sobre un Toro de arado biomecánico se debe a que los vertebrados en general, y la especie humana en particular, el movimiento implica el desplazamiento de elementos esqueléticos que son considerados como elementos pasivos. Pero este movimiento se debe a elementos activos los cuales son los encargados de transformar la energía química en energía mecánica o fuerza, estos elementos activos son los músculos.

Otro motivo de este estudio se debe a que en la actualidad las necesidades de tecnificar los arados son de gran importancia y las maquinas que se utiliza para esos trabajos tienen costos muy elevados, y más aún hay lugares donde se necesita realizar un arado que tienen medidas restringidas, por lo cual se necesita una máquina de tamaño considerablemente aceptable y también con costos aceptables, con la característica que brinde el mismo servicio, pero a menor costo. M., & Redín, M. I. (2008). Los cálculos nos dan datos muy concisos que servirán para la fabricación del toro biomecánico que deberá tener características mínimas como Peso frontal Pf: 270 Kg, Peso anterior:180 Kg, para lo cual la descarga del peso en las rodillas por extremidad será de 140 Kgf, y 90 Kgf respectivamente, con estas características obtendrá una fuerza máxima en la parte frontal de 295 Kg y la fuerza anterior ser una máxima de 250 Kg, deberá descargar un peso, y finalmente se debe considerar el sistema dinámico el cual es con una velocidad alta de 0,625 rad/seg, y velocidad baja de 0,4335 rad/seg, y sus aceleraciones de 0,3112 rad/s2, para la alta y 0,45 m/s2. para la aceleración baja con estos datos se podrá construir un prototipo con una alta eficiencia

Impulsado por diferentes programas de intercambio esta nueva tipología de turismo ha experimentado un crecimiento muy importante en los últimos años, reportando ingresos considerables a las instituciones de educación superior. El turismo académico es una tipología turística contemporánea, que ha emergido debido al aumento de los desplazamientos, efecto de la internacionalización de la educación superior. Esta tipología es compleja y no hay que entenderla sólo desde la perspectiva estudiantil sino también desde una multiforme gama de aristas y multimotivaciones que puedan tener las personas que se desplazan a instituciones de Educación Superior (pasantías, cursos, eventos, doctorados, maestrías, visitas guiadas, etc.). De esta forma se demandan procedimientos y metodologías que permitan gestionar esta modalidad de forma asertiva y coherente, como alternativa sostenible para instituciones de Educación Superior. El procedimiento para la gestión del Turismo Académico en la UCLV es una herramienta que contribuye resolver los problemas que emergen en el proceso de gestión. De su aplicación se deriva el diagnóstico de la gestión de la modalidad, a partir de lo cual se plantea la estrategia de gestión en la universidad y objetivos estratégicos a fin de disponer de una guía planificada, coordinada, flexible y con fácil aplicación para instituciones universitarias, sedes de eventos, académicos y otros entes interesados, asociadas a la gestión del turismo académico.

El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo determinar las expectativas del turista con el servicio de alimentos y bebidas en el destino Cuba. Para esto se aplicó el cuestionario propuesto por Romaní, [et. al], 2018.  El análisis de los datos incluyó el cálculo de porcentajes, la fiabilidad del constructo por medio del Alfa de Cronbach, el test bidimensional de Friedman y prueba de Wilcoxon para determinar las prioridades de los clientes a la hora de seleccionar un restaurante, así como el diagrama de Pareto. Los datos se procesaron mediante el programa estadístico “Statistic Program for Social Sciences” para Windows (versión 22.0). Los resultados demostraron que los indicadores más importantes a la hora de seleccionar un restaurante son la comida, la seguridad y el precio; y que las expectativas vitales sobre los servicios adicionales son música agradable, atención al cliente, información sobre la especialidad de la casa, internet y animación.

Background. The objective of this study was to establish how accurately elite athletes carried out the task of a
coach to perform an exercise at a given intensity.
Methods. Cardiovascular indices were registered and analysed during a two-step research process. Two groups
including six well-trained long-distance runners and 21 healthy non-athletes performed graded stress exercise up to
the inability to continue the task. Runners took part in the second study in which heart rate and running pace were
recorded during an aerobic training session.
Results. Research findings showed that athletes demonstrated higher physical performance, but the maximum
heart rate values achieved in the last fatigue phase did not differ significantly between the groups. No ischemic
events were observed in elite athlete group during the entire physical test. Relatively stable heart rate indices in the
maximal physical load step were observed in both groups, but heart rate indices were significantly lower during all
physical load steps in the group of elite runners.
Conclusions. Elite athletes carried out the coach’s task only in the first phase of running and further modified
the task by maintaining the stability of the cardiovascular system

Merkezi yönetim bütçesinden yapılan harcamaların
türlerinin ve büyüklüklerinin belirlenmesi, harcamaların ekonomi üzerinde
yaratacağı etki açısından önemlidir. Bu etkinin yanında bütçe harcamalarının
tasnifinin yapılması kaynakların etkin kullanımının belirlenmesinde hem idari,
hem siyasi hem de iktisadi açıdan yapılacak analizler için gerekmektedir. Bütçe
belgesinden sorumlu olan yürütme organının ve politika yapıcılarının seçmenlere
hesap vermek temelinde, yönettikleri kurumların nereye ne kadar harcama
yaptıklarını, hangi hizmetlerin ne maliyetle sunulduklarını ve yapılan
harcamanın ekonomik etkilerini bilmek ve bildirmek zorunlulukları vardır.
Çalışmada, ilk olarak, kamu harcamalarının tasnifi üzerinde durularak inceleme
konusunu oluşturan “cari transfer harcamalarının” kavramsal içeriği hakkında
açıklamalar yapılmıştır. Kavramsal açıklama sonrasında bu harcamaların 2006
yılından günümüze rakamsal büyüklüklerinin enflasyon, seçimler ve büyüme
rakamları ile ilişkisine bakılmıştır. İkinci olarak, “sermaye birikimi
hedeflemeyen ve cari nitelikli mal ve hizmet alımını finanse etmek amacıyla
yapılan karşılıksız ödemeler” şeklinde tanımlaması yapılan bu harcamaların
cumhurbaşkanlığı ve milletvekili seçim yılı olan 2018 yılı özelinde daha alt
harcama kalemleri temelinde incelemesi ve değerlendirmesi yapılmıştır.
6360 Sayılı Düzenlemeyle Oluşan Büyükşehir Modelinde Büyükşehir Belediyesi İle İlçe Belediyeleri Arasında Yaşanan Sorunlar ve Çözüm Önerileri: Hatay İli Örneği
Authors: BULUT Yakup , DÖNMEZ Demet
Published: May 2019

Bu çalışma, 6360 sayılı düzenlemeyle oluşan büyükşehir modelinde
büyükşehir belediyesi ile ilçe belediyeleri arasında yaşanan sorunlar ve bu
sorunlara ilişkin aranan çözüm önerileri üzerinde durmaktadır. Hızlı kentleşme sürecine bağlı olarak artan
sorunlar, özellikle büyük şehir yönetimlerinin yeniden yapılandırılmasını
gerekli kılmıştır. 6360 sayılı düzenleme böylesine bir ihtiyacı karşılamak
üzere hayata geçirilmiş olsa da uygulamada başta yetki ve hizmet paylaşımı
olmak üzere birçok sorun ortaya çıkmıştır. Bunların bazıları zamanla aşılmış
olsa da bütün büyük şehirler için aynı şeyi söylemek zordur. Bu açıdan 6360
sayılı yasa başta yetki konusunda büyük değişiklikler içerdiğinden, yasanın
yürürlüğe girdiği günden bu yana, sunulan hizmetlerin yeterliği ve kalitesi hep
tartışma konusu olmuştur. Dolayısıyla Hatay ölçeğinde yapılan bu çalışmada,
Hatay Büyükşehir Belediyesi ile Hatay’daki ilçe belediyeleri arasındaki yetki,
hizmet, kaynak, denetim ve koordinasyon gibi beş temel alanda işlevselliğinin
hangi ölçüde sağlanabildiği tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır.

Objective: One of the most common causes of death among children in Turkey is accidents, and of this, 18-25% caused by home accidents. This study aims to identify the factors associated with safety measures against home accidents, that are taken by mothers who have children between 0-6 years of age.Methods: This descriptive study was conducted among the mothers who admitted to three Family Health Centers in Istanbul, Turkey, in 2017. The data was collected with a questionnaire including “The Scale for Mother’s identification of Safety Measures Against Home Accidents for Children of 0-6 Years Age Group”. The data was analyzed with SPSS program using Chi square, Mann Whitney-U and Spearman correlation tests (p<0,05 considered significant). 224 mothers participated in this study.Results: The most frequent home accidents were falling (48.9%), finger jam (36.6%) and crashing (30.6%). There was a weak positive correlation between the scale score and family’s income (p=0.039; r=0.157); and a weak negative correlation between the scale score and child’s age (p=0.001; r=-0.331). There was no association between education level of parents and safety measures. However, the scale scores were significantly higher among those who have specifically been educated about home accidents compared to those who haven’t (p=0.013).Conclusion: The current education program may not be sufficient to prevent home accidents. We believe that specific courses about home accidents and safety measures are needed; even if these courses can be integrated to secondary school or university curricula it can be more beneficial.
Engineering Methodology for Student-Driven CubeSats
Authors: Alanazi Abdulaziz , Straub Jeremy
Published: May 2019

CubeSats are widely used by universities and research institutions all over the world. Their popularity is generally attributed to the use of low-cost components, free student labor and simple design. They have been shown to encourage Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) students to become involved in designing, implementing and testing a real functioning spacecraft system. Projects like this encourage students from different disciplines to team up to design and build CubeSats, providing interdisciplinary work experience. Participating students vary in their expertise in developing such systems. Some will work on the project for years while others are not willing to spend two or three consecutive semesters developing a CubeSat project. Despite their simplicity in design and low cost, CubeSats are considered great engineering systems for exploring space. Nevertheless, a large number of CubeSat projects fail due to having an unclear mission, ambiguous system requirements and a lack of documentation. Students need to have a clear vision of how to build a real CubeSat system that can be launched and that can function in space. Thus, this paper proposes engineering methodologies and tools to help students develop CubeSat systems. These tools can help students with planning, collecting, eliciting and documenting the requirements in a well-defined manner. This paper focuses on student-driven CubeSat projects designed by students and faculty members. Additionally, data is presented in this paper to identify the challenges and needs of CubeSat developers. Plans for future work are also discussed.
