La vida como arte y el arte como vida
Authors: Brahm Mir Gaspar
Published: May 2019

El hombre es un ser que busca el sentido de su existencia en todo lo que hace. A la vez que es consciente de su contingencia, es capaz de elevarse por sobre lo meramente temporal. El arte pareciera ser una actividad humana que, por combinar lo contingente con lo necesario, puede llevar al hombre hacia una obra llena de sentido. Siguiendo al teólogo suizo Hans Urs von Balthasar, cabría entender la vida del hombre como una obra artístico-dramática, en la que entran en diálogo su libertad con la donación divina. La obra maestra existencial será, por consiguiente, la aceptación plena del don de Dios por parte del hombre.
Are Slovak Universities Prepared to Create the Department of Geragogy and Train Future Geragogues?
Authors: Balogová Beáta , Gazdová Veronika Kmetóny
Published: May 2019

Introduction:
The authors of this paper base their research on the following assumption: the development of both geragogic education (older adult education) and profession is conditioned by the existence of a study program of geragogy provided by departments of geragogy created at universities (as public institutions of higher education). The fact remains that a qualified training of geragogues is absent in the Slovak conditions.

Purpose:
When compiling a graduate profile, inclusive of a list of competences that a geragogue should possess, a range of specific local circumstances needs to be taken into consideration. Subsequently, it is necessary to define a position of a geragogue. Geragogue is a professional working in the field of senior education, just like a pedagogue or an adult educator work in their fields. It is also important to identify and accentuate the philosophical and social context in which these professionals are confronted with the demands of today’s society, in a form of a society based on knowledge, questions of the ongoing social changes and defining the meaning of life.

Results:
The task of creating the department and program of geragogy is formulated as a social demand of the time, debunking the current myth of the crisis of universities. In history, a university was a vital place where the values serving social integration emerged. It was also a practice field for the educators to train so they could spread these values and transform them into social skills.

Conclusion:
In the conclusion, the authors propose key areas of undergraduate training of geragogues, including the definition of institutional anchoring, with the goal to contribute to ongoing professional discussion and to creation of the department and the program of geragogy.
Some Issues Concerning Values in Measuring Achievements in Education
Authors: Turós Mátyás
Published: May 2019

Introduction:
This study analyzes the mode of value transmission and those set of values that promote the measurement of educational outcomes.

Purpose:
The focus of this contribution is to discover helpful guidelines for a set of educational values.

Methods:
In the present study, we applied source analysis as a traditional research method in the philosophy of education.

Conclusion:
We would like to point out that education is the observation, consideration and formation of needs and, at the same time, pedagogy is at least as a regulating as a descriptive kind of an activity. The ideal educational system of methods and objectives are neither open nor closed, it only contains elements that provide possibilities for the individual to fulfill requirements in quantity and quality according to their aptitude. On the other hand, it assures forming behavior and socialization simultaneously.
Literal Occurrences of Multiword Expressions: Rare Birds That Cause a Stir
Authors: Savary Agata , Cordeiro Silvio Ricardo , Lichte Timm , Ramisch Carlos , Iñurrieta Uxoa , Giouli Voula
Published: May 2019

Multiword expressions can have both idiomatic and literal occurrences. For instance pulling strings can be understood either as making use of one’s influence, or literally. Distinguishing these two cases has been addressed in linguistics and psycholinguistics studies, and is also considered one of the major challenges in MWE processing. We suggest that literal occurrences should be considered in both semantic and syntactic terms, which motivates their study in a treebank. We propose heuristics to automatically pre-identify candidate sentences that might contain literal occurrences of verbal VMWEs, and we apply them to existing treebanks in five typologically different languages: Basque, German, Greek, Polish and Portuguese. We also perform a linguistic study of the literal occurrences extracted by the different heuristics. The results suggest that literal occurrences constitute a rare phenomenon. We also identify some properties that may distinguish them from their idiomatic counterparts. This article is a largely extended version of Savary and Cordeiro (2018).
How to Manage Melasma
Authors: Ezekor Maureen , Desai Seemal R
Published: May 2019

Melasma, previously known as chloasma, is a commonly acquired hypermelanosis characterized by symmetric, reticulated, hyperpigmentations of sun-exposed areas of the skin, particularly the face. Melasma has a higher prevalence in women and patients of darker skin tones, although it can occur in all skin types. The dyspigmentation caused by melasma often has a negative psychosocial impact on those affected with the condition as demonstrated by patient-reported anhedonia, decreased self-esteem, dissatisfactory mood, and impairment in social and occupational functioning. 1 The pathogenesis of melasma is still unclear, however various factors have been implicated and well supported such as ultraviolet radiation exposure, genetic predisposition, and hormonal influences. 2 Due to the incomplete understanding of its pathogenesis and the high recurrence rate, melasma remains a difficult disorder to manage resulting in physician frustration and patient dissatisfaction. Nevertheless, several topical, oral, and procedural treatment options are available with varying mechanisms of action addressing the multifactorial nature of the disorder. The purpose of this article is to provide a framework for dermatologists to use to approach and clinically manage this common, yet therapeutically challenging, condition.
A Review of Treatments for Dissecting Cellulitis of the Scalp
Authors: Tran Andrew , Sarac Rebecca , Prussick Lisa , Radosta Stella , Murina Andrea
Published: May 2019

Dissecting cellulitis of the scalp (DCS) is a rare and chronic skin disorder that presents with suppurative nodules on the scalp with associated scarring alopecia. The pathogenesis of the disease involves inflammation and destruction of the hair follicle.  This makes it clinically and pathologically similar to acne conglobata and hidradenitis suppurativa, which can also occur concomitantly. Many therapies exist to treat DCS, but its refractory nature makes treatment difficult and combination therapies are often needed. The aim of this review is to evaluate the evidence-based medical and surgical treatments for this disease so that clinicians can choose the best treatments according to the disease stage and severity.  Knowledge of the clinical endpoints of each treatment modality is important for managing patient expectations and setting treatment goals. There is no standardized method for measurement of clinical improvement in DCS, and each individual treatment can improve one or more aspect of disease activity (such as inflammation or scarring). Topical and oral medications will be reviewed in addition to surgical and laser treatments.

Authors: Yale Katerina Lynn , Juhasz Margit , Atanaskova Mesinkovska Natasha
Published: May 2019

AbstractImportance: Brachioradial pruritus (BRP) is a poorly understood disease and can severely impact quality of life. However, there is currently no clear treatment. Objective: To identify effective behavioral, topical, oral, and invasive treatment options for BRP, and to discuss the quality of the data currently found in the literature. Evidence Review: The PubMed and CINAHL databases were systematically reviewed for articles from 1968 to the present containing search terms “brachioradial OR solar OR forearm AND pruritus OR itching.” Results were narrowed to articles written in English, focusing specifically on BRP, and that stated precise treatment modalities. Evidence quality was determined based on the study type.  Findings: Thirty-six articles discussing treatments for BRP are included in this review with a total 399 patients.  Six studies (n=68) report on the efficacy of capsaicin cream, eight studies (n=26) on oral gabapentin 300 mg daily to six times daily and four studies (n=98) on sun protection. The remaining articles comprise of low-quality, small-scale studies on further oral medications, physical therapy, minimally-invasive procedures, and surgery. Conclusions and Relevance: Low-quality evidence supports the use of sun protection, topical capsaicin, or oral gabapentin as effective therapeutic modalities for BRP. Clinicians should be aware of possible underlying cervical spine pathology and include thorough imaging as part of BRP work-up. Further high-quality studies on BRP treatments would help elucidate clear management for this disorder.

Fibroelastolytic Papulosis in a Middle-Age Female: Presentation and Review of Treatment
Authors: Barrick Carl , Chin An Guo Michael , Rutt Veronica , Lountzis Nektarios , Bartus Cynthia
Published: May 2019

Introduction:Fibroelastolytic papulosis (FEP) is a rare, benign, acquired cutaneous disease with a histopathology that shows variable fibrosis and elastolysis of the papillary dermis. FEP clinically presents as white-ivory to yellow papules and plaques commonly occurring on the neck. Prior to this date there have been no specific treatment guidelines for FEP, thus various management options are explored in this case report. Case Report:We present a 62-year-old female with an isolated ivory, cobblestoned plaque with open comedones on the left shoulder since childhood. The histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of FEP. The patient had been previously treated with topical clindamycin, salicylic acid, tretinoin, and tazarotene without success.Conclusion: This case demonstrates the importance of recognizing FEP, as clinical presentations can vary. FEP can be distressing to patients, and it is important to explore additional treatment options. Treatment options including topical retinoids and ablative lasers have been reported, but with limited and inconsistent success. However, due to the rarity of the disease there is currently no standard of care for the treatment of FEP and additional successful treatment options are needed.
Unusual presentation and successful treatment of necrobiosis lipoidica in a 15-year-old girl
Authors: Limmer Allison L , Holland Levi C , Garcia Annabelle L
Published: May 2019

Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) is a rare, granulomatous skin disease with a predilection for diabetic patients. NL can present both histopathologically and clinically in a similar fashion to other granulomatous dermatoses such as granuloma annulare, necrobiotic xanthogranuloma, and cutaneous sarcoidosis. When NL is suspected in patients without glucose intolerance, affirmative diagnosis can be difficult, and other comorbidities may be probed, as NL has been associated with conditions such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and thyroid disorders. Familial disease has also been reported.In the following case report, we discuss a 15-year-old girl who presented with a new, single, pink atrophic plaque of the right pretibial region. Biopsy showed palisaded granulomatous inflammation within the dermis, absent dermal mucin, and rare multinucleated giant cells. This histopathologic description combined with the clinical context led to the diagnosis of necrobiosis lipoidica. The patient developed another similar lesion on the left anterior shin over the next 1.5 years which was also approached as necrobiosis lipoidica. The lesions were treated with intralesional triamcinolone acetonide and topical tacrolimus. Both lesions are now resolved with only mild atrophy of the affected areas. To date, the patient’s labs have shown no evidence of glucose intolerance, hyperlipidemia, or thyroid disorder.

Published: May 2019

While numerous hydrogen bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) have been reported, typically these cannot be prepared predictably or in a modular fashion. In this work, we report a family of nine diamondoid crystalline porous frameworks assembled via hydrogen bonding between poly-amidinium and poly-carboxylate tectons in aqueous media. Importantly, both the cationic and anionic components can be varied and additional functionality can be incorporated into the frameworks, which show good stability including to prolonged heating in DMSO or water.
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy as a Performance Indicator of Water Dissociation in Bipolar Membranes
Authors: blommaert marijn , vermaas david , izelaar boaz , in't veen ben , smith wilson
Published: May 2019

Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), we observed the rate of water dissociation decrease in the presence of salt ions while also observing the diffusion and migration of these salt ions, showing a clear link between the peaks observed in EIS and ion crossover. In addition, we show how EIS can be used to in-situ monitor the stability and ageing of a BPM, revealing that degradation of the BPM is more prominent in extreme pH electrolyte pairs compared to non-extreme electrolyte pairs. The in-situ monitoring of the WDR and stability of a BPM are vital methods for adequate and consistent comparison of novel designs of BPM-based systems, where EIS allows for discriminating BPM characteristics from other components even during operation.

The focus of this research is to analyze the production process queuing system at one of the stages of production of swiftlet nest in analytical and simulation. The purpose of this research is to obtain the model and characteristics of the queue system at the Finishing-2. The analysis uses data on the rate of arrival and the rate of service based on real observation and determines the probability distribution of data between arrival time and service time using the Easyfit 3.0 program, to get the model of the queuing system is obtained. After the model obtained, analytic and simulation analysis is carried out using the Queuing System Simulation (QSS) module in the WINQSB software. The results of the queuing system characteristics in the analytical and simulation have a significant difference, because the distribution of time between arrivals and service times used in analytical calculations is G (general), while the simulation uses a distribution that refers to a particular type of distribution according to the results of the Easyfit program. Simulation is carried out with the FIFO and SIRO queue disciplines. The simulation results show that 91% of the characteristics of the queue system in the two queue disciplines do not have a significant difference. Moreover, it has also been done a comparison between the characteristics of the queuing system in two different work areas namely Room A and Room B&C, based on the simulation results, the results show 58% of the characteristics of the queuing system have a significant difference, this is due to differences in service time between the two work areas. Thus the purpose of this research has been achieved which is obtained by the queue model (G/G/c):(FIFO/∞/∞), and also obtained system performance improvements, in the form of waiting time in the queue where the waiting time in Room B&C is smaller than Room A. Keywords: Queuing, Arrival, Service, Production, Simulation.

Türkiye’de Anıtsal Yapıların Korunmasında Uygulama Boyutunda Yaşanan Sorunlar: Ayasofya Müzesi ve Fatih Camii Örnekleri
Authors: COŞKUN Burcu Selcen
Published: May 2019

Türkiye’nin zengin mimari mirasının küçük bir bölümünü oluşturan anıtsal yapılar, sahip oldukları değerler ve geçmişe tanıklıklarıyla özenle korunmayı hak etmektedirler. Oysa, Cumhuriyet’in ilanından günümüze, koruma faaliyetleri dikkate alındığında Türkiye’de karar alma ve uygulama mekanizmaları arasında var olan bir takım uyumsuzlukların, bu yapıların özgün değerlerine olumsuz etkisi olduğu görülür. Bu makalede söz konusu uyumsuzlukların ve kaynaklarının araştırılması hedeflenmiştir. Bunu yaparken, makalede öncelikle 1923’ten günümüze kronolojik olarak mimari koruma alanının gelişimi ve değişimi irdelenmektedir. Cumhuriyet’in kuruluş yıllarında kısıtlı olanaklarla sürdürülen koruma faaliyetleri, Anıtlar Yüksek Kurulu’nun örgütlenmesi ve 1950’lerin sonuna denk gelen İstanbul’daki imar faaliyetleri gibi farklı dönemlerde yaşanan önemli gelişmelerin koruma alanını nasıl dönüştürdüğü tartışılmakta, farklı dönemlerde koruma uygulamalarını etkileyen sebepler ve bu uygulamalardaki eğilimler tespit edilmeye çalışılmaktadır. Makalede çalışmanın sonuçlarını desteklemesi amacıyla İstanbul’da bulunan iki simgesel yapının Cumhuriyet Dönemi onarımları seçilmiş ve bu onarımlarda öne çıkan bazı sorunlu noktalar örnek olarak ele alınmıştır. 1930’lardan günümüze arşiv belgeleri ışığında Ayasofya Müzesi ve Fatih Camii’nin onarımlarında uygulama boyutunda yaşanan bu sorunlu süreçlerin sebepleri irdelenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuç bölümünde ise, Türkiye’de anıtsal yapıların korunması alanında aktarılan süreçte tespit edilen temel problemler başlıklar altında irdelenmiş ve sebepleri yorumlanmıştır.
Batı Anadolu’dan Adalara Duvar Resmi Bağlamında Midilli’de Resimli İki Konut
Authors: KUYULU ERSOY İnci
Published: May 2019

Bu makalenin konusunu, Yunanistan’ın Midilli Adası’nda bulunan iki konutu bezeyen resimler oluşturmaktadır. Söz konusu resimler, 19. yüzyılın ilk yarısında, Batı Anadolu’da görülen bir grup duvar resmiyle konu ve üslup açısından büyük benzerlikler taşımaktadır. Resimler, Petra’daki Vareltzidenas Evi ile Molova’daki Giannakos Evi’nde bulunmaktadır. Her iki evde de, birbirine benzer görünümlere sahip dörder deniz manzarası ile birer hayali İstanbul panoraması resimlenmiştir. Yapılardaki kalıplaşmış bina formlarının yanı sıra; renk tonlamalarıyla verilmiş deniz ve gökyüzü, denizde dolaşan gemiler ve gökyüzünde uçuşan kuşlar, yine bu yapılardaki manzara kompozisyonlarını andıracak kadar ortak özellikler taşır. Her iki yapıda görülen İstanbul panoramaları da, Batı Anadolu’da üç kara parçasıyla gösterilmiş anıtsal İstanbul panoramalarıyla benzer karakterdedir. Petra Vareltzidenas Evi’nde bu resimlerden başka, deniz kenarında tek yapı betimlemeleri, çeşitli natürmortlar, çiçekler, perde ve sütun motifleri ile figürlü temalara da yer verilmiştir. Bu tür resimlerin Anadolu’daki örneklerinin ortak özelliklerinden biri de figürsüz olarak yapılmış olmalarıdır. Her bir kompozisyon, farklı bir masal ya da olay anlatıyor izlenimi verir. Bu iki evde ulunan resimler, 19. yüzyılın başlarından itibaren, İzmir, Manisa ve çevresinde rastlanan ve özellikle II. Mahmut Dönemi resim programında görülen bazı karakteristik özellikleri bünyesinde toplayan resim örneklerinin Ege Adaları’ndaki temsilcileri olarak dikkat çeker. Hızlı çalışılmış ve profesyonel sanatçıların elinden çıktığı izlenimini veren resimlerin benzeşen özellikleri, Ege kıyılarında, hinterlandında ve adalarda, aynı atölyeye bağlı, yüzer-gezer bir sanatçı grubunun varlığının da kanıtıdır.

Crises may influence the most economies differently in the world and cause to diminish their national wealth and rise in unemployment rates. As a developing country, Turkey has been impressed by some economic slumps in the world in different periods. This study aims to investigate the tourism participation of households and estimate the most sensitive household groups after the 2008 financial crisis by employing Heckman two-stage model. It also reveals which household groups change their tourism consumption expenditures more in Turkey. The results show that variations in income elasticity during the crisis are different to household groups. In other words, households with high income level were not significantly affected by the world economic crisis, while households with low income reduced tourism consumption expenditures both in domestic and outbound tourism.
The Effect of Dynamic Pricing on Holiday Purchase Intentions: Moderated Mediation Role of Perceived Risk
Authors: SÖZER Edin Güçlü
Published: May 2019

This study targets to measure the effect of dynamic
pricing offers on the purchase intentions of consumers for a winter holiday by
taking into consideration a moderated mediator role of perceived risk on this
effect. The study employs an experimental design with discount level and timing
of the offer (offer recency) as the manipulated conditions. The findings
confirm that discount offers have positive direct effect and perceived risk has
a negative direct effect on purchase intentions. The levels of discount and perceived
risk, independently from each other, determine the level of purchase
intentions. On the other hand, the effect of discount offers on purchase
intentions is mediated by the perceived risk level of consumers. Finally, the
timing of the discount offers moderates the effect of perceived risk on
purchase intentions and eventually generates a moderated mediation role for
perceived risk on the influence of discount offers on purchase intentions.
Based on the findings of this study, some practical implications are provided.
