Background: Hypospadias is a common urogenital
system disorder. The frenulum, which is the most
sensitive area of the glans penis, is not present in patients
with hypospadias. This may lead to a failure in sexual
and ejaculatory function, and cause emotional problems
affecting cognitive processes.

Aim: We aimed to study auditory Event Related Potentials
(ERP) in patients with hypospadias to understand the
status of cognitive function.

Materials and Methods: Seventeen patients with hypospadias
who presented to the Urology Outpatient Clinic
of Çanakkale Military Hospital, and 11 healthy individuals
of similar age were chosen. The auditory oddball paradigm
with ERP from the Cz and Fz head regions were
studied. The latency and amplitude of the P300 wave were
measured.

Results: Both, the study and control groups consisted of
young males. Although the study group had a longer P300
latency and lower P300 amplitude when compared to control group, the results were not statistically significant
(p: 0.059 and 0.346 respectively).

Conclusion: Although the results are not statistically significant,
our findings indicate that there may be cognitive
changes in patients with hypospadias. Further studies of
larger sample size and older patient cohorts are needed.

Authors: Ploch Leszek
Published: November 2015

This paper made an attempt to indicate the findings of the author’s research from the experiences of the implementation of the project ‘Including disabled senior citizens in creative activities in 2013-2015’. The issues of disabled senior citizens have been an object of interest over the recent years though it still has not had a proper place in science and practice. In the situation of a painful lack of initiatives, the Foundation for Propagation of Disability Art and Culture of the in Warsaw, as the only institution for promoting creative activity of the disabled in Poland, undertook a number of activities in order to include this social group in the world of culture and art. It appears that participation in creative initiatives has a very positive effect on the quality of the social functioning of disabled senior citizens in their isolation from their own families.
Organization of Physical Activities as a Precondition of Quality Development of Motor Abilities of Pre-School and School Children
Authors: Marković Živorad , Kopas-Vukašinović Emina
Published: November 2015

In their work authors consider the significance of the organization of physical activities for the development of abilities of pre-school and school children. Led by theoretical basis that physical development of children represents the basis of their whole development, and that “fine motor skills” are determined by the development of its large motorics, the authors point to the significance of the content and structure of physical education programme in preschool institutions and younger age school classes. It is evident that the effects of cultivating of children development during preschool period can be seen in younger primary school classes. The goal of this research was to determine if and how much the different organization of preparatory part of physical education lesson for younger school children, determines the differences in the development of their motor abilities. By the use of experimental method, the effects of prolonged preparatory part of a lesson in younger school classes. This part was realized through complex of exercises which were supposed to have influence on transformation of motor abilities in relation to the structure with standard duration of certain parts of a lesson. It is determined that certain increase in body movement of students during physical activity can significantly contribute to better development of motor abilities. These abilities determine correct physical development and strengthening of health, which determines general aim of physical education.
“Bus Lane Within The Area Of Intersection” Method For Buses Priority On The Intersections
Authors: Vikovych Ihor , Zubachyk Roman
Published: November 2015

The primary objective of this article is to formalize the “special bus lanes within the area of intersection” method that allows providing buses with space-time priority at signalized intersections (mostly of the isolated type), including those with no more than two traffic lanes in each direction at the approaches to the intersection. The article establishes the limits for efficient application of this method, and describes the results of a simulation experiment conducted in the VISSIM environment to investigate the functioning of the method on an actual intersection. The most critical phase of implementation of this method is to determine the optimum length of the special bus lane at the approach to the intersection. The optimum length of special bus lanes at the approaches to isolated or coordinated intersections is determined based on the maximum length of queued vehicles which is computed using the simulation models developed in the Objective-C language. The article covers the basic characteristics of those models, their structure and building principles, and also provides the model validation results. Simulation models can be used both for determination of the optimum length of special bus lanes at the approaches to signalized intersections and for analysis of intersection performance based on the maximum length of queued vehicles.
KPI Building Blocks For Successful Green Transport Corridor Implementation
Authors: Prause Gunnar , Schröder Meike
Published: November 2015

The green transport corridor concept represents a cornerstone in the development of integrated and sustainable transport solutions. Important properties of green corridors are their transnational character and their high involvement of large numbers of public and private stakeholders, including political level, requiring sophisticated approaches for implementation, management and governance. The current scientific discussion focusses on Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for monitoring and management of green transport corridor performance emphasizing the operational aspects.

The green corridor balanced scorecard approach tried to mitigate the strategic weakness of KPI concept by integrating cooperative and long-term views in order to come closer to a comprehensive green corridor control system. Until now all discussed KPI sets are too small and narrow for a successful implementation of green corridors so there is a need for the development of an user-oriented model for green corridor control systems based on building blocks integrating existing KPI sets.

The building block approach for implementation has been successfully used for implementation and simulation in supply chain management. Based on these results the paper will present a holistic control system for successful implementation of green transport corridors based on building blocks integrating recent results about KPIs and balanced scorecards approaches. The research will empirically be verified by empirical results from European green corridor projects.

Authors: Lukinskiy Valery , Lukinskiy Vladislav
Published: November 2015

The increase of the supply chains efficiency requires optimization of all types of logistic operations and functions. One of such functions is the choice of intermediaries (carriers, freight forwarders, suppliers, service enterprises etc.) and, according to some specialists, it is a major strategic decision in management supply chains. The methods of choosing the logistic intermediaries are considered in many works, however, some questions remain debatable. The article discusses the analytical and expert approaches which serve as a basis to choose the intermediaries; along with it, in the article a comparative evaluation of choice expert methods is done: point-rating assessment, analytic hierarchy process and the general algorithm for selecting; the conclusions have been drawn about the applicability of each method.

Published: November 2015

In the petroleum, natural gas and petrochemical industries, great attention is being paid to safety, reliability and maintainability of equipment. There are a number of technologies to monitor, control, and maintain gas, oil, water, and sewer pipelines. The paper focuses on operational modal analysis (OMA) application for condition monitoring of operating pipelines. Special focus is on the topicality of OMA for definition of the dynamic features of the pipeline (frequencies and mode shapes) in operation. The research was conducted using two operating laboratory models imitated a part of the operating pipeline. The results of finite-element modeling, identification of pipe natural modes and its modification under the influence of virtual failure are discussed. The work considers the results of experimental research of dynamic behavior of the operating pipe models using one of OMA techniques and comparing dynamic properties with the modeled data. The study results demonstrate sensitivity of modal shape parameters to modification of operating pipeline technical state. Two strategies of pipeline repair – with continuously condition-based monitoring with proposed technology and without such monitoring, was discussed. Markov chain reliability models for each strategy were analyzed and reliability improvement factor for proposed technology of monitoring in compare with traditional one was evaluated. It is resumed about ability of operating pipeline condition monitoring by measuring dynamic deformations of the operating pipe and OMA techniques application for dynamic properties extraction.

The Atlantic Forest in the state of Rio de Janeiro is extremely fragmented and reduced in its original extension. Although there are a great number of studies related to the biome, few lists are available for this region. The present study seeks to get information on the mammals of a remnant forest in Serra da Concórdia, an area from which no information is currently available. The rapid mammal's survey was accomplished by use of pitfalls, live traps, transects, mist nets, and camera traps. We recorded 37 terrestrial species that represent 22.3 % of Rio de Janeiro state mammal species. Among the recorded species, six are endemic of the Atlantic Forest, one is endemic of the state, and eight are in the state list of threatened or presumably threatened species. The area presents great mammal richness and an increasing effort will probably reveal the presence of additional species.
Entrepreneurship of Traditionalist Muslim at Tasikmalaya, West Java
Authors: Janwari Yadi
Published: November 2015

The difference of religious understanding does not have a significant relationship with economic behavior, especially entrepreneurship. The difference of religious understanding to traditional understanding and modern understanding becomes no longer significant to be associated with economic behavior. This means that the study of economic behavior associated with the difference of religious understanding to traditional understanding and modern understanding is very biased. This is because the most decisive variable in understanding the flow of economic behavior is not religious understanding, but rationality in economic decisions taken based on traditions, values, and straightforward arguments. This study have different conclusion with finding of Max Weber, Robert N. Bellah, David C. McClelland, and Clifford Geertz theories, in the context of socio-economic disciplines which states that there is a correlation between modern religious understanding and economic behavior. Their conclusion were not true base on is the fact that people who have an understanding of modern religious relate to economic behavior. In fact, based on this research, religious understanding that relates with economic behavior is precisely traditional religious understanding. Variables that determine the flow of economic behavior is not a religious understanding, but the rationality in economic behavior. Therefore, the emphasis of the conclusions formulated by Max Weber, Robert N. Bellah, David C. McClelland, and Clifford Geertz is not in its modern religious ideas, but in the rationality held by economic actors. Their conclusion may be justified if there is any further explanation that the modern religious understanding is rational and has implications for other aspects of life, including the aspect of economic activity. Besides, their finding could not generalized and gone into effect to other place owning different characteristic.

Malay world has been experiencing the conflicting and converging international influences of globalization and rapid Islamisation in many significant aspects of the countries. One of the issues is that the impact of the agenda of advancement of women‟s life to achieve gender equality promoted by international agencies. Among other women‟s improvement agenda is that woman in decision making bodies. On the other hand, the growing visible Islamic movement (and/or Islamic fundamentalism - Islamism) which may significantly grow among Malay societies would unavoidably create different ideas, attitudes and practices compared to other Muslim world. This paper explores myriad aspects of women‟s empowerment transforming into decision making bodies in the nuances of an affirmative action a recommendation of series of international conference on women. Through finding similarities and differences between the two Muslim majority countries, the support toward Muslim women‟s empowerment in decision making bodies is formally acknowledged in state regulations. Although women of Southeast Asian region are culturally recognized to have a high status and well engagement with public sphere, in the implementation of women representing themselves in political sphere has a little difference. In term of discourses Indonesia has much flourished ideas and closer to the ideas of international agenda than that of Malaysia. In the overall Malay world would gradually show its openness, tolerance and positive adaptation as a part of world society, although it cannot avoidably be departed from international agenda of both carrying Islamic and non-Islamic values.

Published: November 2015

The purpose of the paper is to investigate role of the financial performance, ownership structure and number of syari'a supervisory board of Islamic banks in Indonesia on the sustainability of corporate social responsibilities (CSR) disclosure. Ownership structure and number of syari'a supervisory board of Islamic banks as proxy of implementation good corporate governance (GCG). There are seven (7) fully fledge Islamic banks in Indonesia. This study uses logic regression to test empirically whether the CSR is highly influenced by the factors identified earlier. Evidence was found that size, ROA and leverage do not have significant role in corporate social responsibilities (CSR) disclosure. Specifically, the results infer the fact that the CSR disclosures are significant and positively associated to bank size and ownership structure only. The result of the study has confirms the hypothesis that bank size and ROA has positive associated with CSR disclosure. This suggested that large and profitable banks have more resources to devote to social activities. Leverage negatively influences the disclosure of CSR. Thus, lowly leveraged banks will tend to make larger donations than highly leveraged banks. Ownership structure and number of syari'a supervisory board of Islamic banks have positive associated to CSR disclosure. These results also confirm the predictions that good corporate governance mechanism lead to the greater monitoring and thereby greater CSR disclosure.

Islamic Counselling Model to Increase Religious Commitment (Study of Students at the University UIN Bandung)
Authors: Hikmawati Fenti
Published: November 2015

The study aims to test the effectiveness of Islamic counseling model for helping the students to tight their religious commitment. The religious commitment is covered in three major Islamic teachings: Iman (faith), Islam (surrender to Allah), and lhsan (state of being observed by Allah). The model of Islamic counseling aims to tight students' religious commitment must to be applied immediately because the preface study reveals some students' religious commitment were not strong enough, their behavior and thinking symptoms tend to not appropriate yet with Islam norm among their association and conception toward the truth of God. To achieve the aim, the study was carried out with three steps: (1) designing a model of counseling; (2) trying out field study, using pretest-post test control group experimental design with 140 students of Islamic Religion Education, the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teaching, State Islamic University, Sunan Gunung Djati, Bandung. Of 140 students, 70 students are from the classes: A (32 people), B (38 people), involved in control group and the test; 37 people from class C, and 33 students from class D involved in the experiment group, and; (3) designing a final model by revising the model tried-out. The variable involved three major Islamic dimensions: the iman, Islam, and ihsan of the students. The model was designed based on the theory put forward by Musfir bin Said Az-Zalmmi, that is, an integrated counseling model. The model combines and employs the ideas from other concepts into a tightly united concept, called Islamic concept. Upon completing analysis, it was found that the new concept is significantly effective to enhance students' religious commitment. A Model of Islamic Counseling (MIC) is an alternative-counseling model that can be employed for teenagers/ students to enhance their religious commitment. The study recommends that: (1) MIC can be applied to fifth semester students in the Faculty of Tarbiyah State Islamic University; (2) the application of MIC collaborates with professional and proportional elements relevant to the expected aim; (3) the researchers studying the same materials use the appropriate method appropriate to individual characteristics referring to Islamic norms kaffah (integrally).

Authors: Pahdepie Fahd
Published: November 2015

Media, especially television channels and newspapers have become another political battleground in Indonesian democracy. Some following scenes would describe how Indonesian media empires link to the political system. Media becomes the battleground for politics and there are two point-of-views that could be taken. First, from the perspective of politicians, media is a medium to legitimate their political authority. Second, from the perspective of media barons, politics is an arena that can benefit their business empires. At this point, the marriage between political power and media ownership will eliminate the independence; consequently, the role of media in the concept of democracy to control the power will be diminished or even disappeared.

The article is qualitative study using library risearch and analytical data in the form of descriftive with two principle of deductive an inductive. Researh findings show that method of al-nawawi in explaining aqidah is a combination of Salaf and Khalaf, but patani ulama use rather the khalaf method. This study also shows that there is a similar method between the two different ulama in dealing with explanation of aqidah. However, there are also points of different between them in the way they use Salaf and khalaf. Imam al_Nawawi uses Salaf method for the first following by Khalaf on the contrary the Patani Ulama applied Khalaf as starting point followed by Salaf.
Religious Radicalism and Pluralism: The Conflict Between Religious People and Relation of Power Industry in Bekasi
Authors: Rosadi Aden
Published: November 2015

Based on category, this program leads to three social issues. First, public awareness about the significance of the view of life that is more tolerant, open and more pluralis amid development of industrialization. Industrialization that developed in centers of growth (growth poles), which prominently still holdsrural-agrarian values, has given rise to what is called the proletarian farmers. "Proletarisation" was preceded by transition process of the function of farmland into industrial land, thus causing economic activity became more intense and integrated into industrial capitalism. This leads to the occurrence of an identity crisis that led to theopposition attitude in most communities, especially those who associated with the existence of other religions. Second, these changes have an impact on the emergence of community with radical attitude by carrying the religious themes. The construction of houses of worship, which is actually the "House of God" for any religions, considering the dangers may threaten the existence of the community and other faiths. The value system was formed, as a society oppressed became one of the motivators and catalysts for the inception of religious radicalism at the low level community. Third, the Government's policy regarding the construction of a harmony is among believers. This last part is related to the concept of good governance. As an institutional approach, the concept of good governance (good governance) is defined as the interaction between the organizers of the State (Government) and groups in the community. According to the World Bank, there are at least four important dimensions of good governance, i.e. example, effective legal framework, information that is in line with the transparency (accountability or Government) and the availability of well-educated workforce. In this context, the position of District Government of Bekasi becomes one of the institutions, which is responsible for the running of the relationship between the Government, employers or investors, religious figures, and the public as the three interest groups that cannot be separated in developing awareness of pluralism in religious life in the community.
Urgent Development on Contemporary Medical Fiqh in Malaysia
Authors: Abdul Rahman Noor Naemah , Ramli Mohd Anuar , Mohd Salleh Shaikh Mohd Saifudden Shaikh , Hamdan Mohammad Naqib
Published: November 2015

The contemporary scientific and technology development give impacts on the development of Islamic law. The dynamic of fiqh in handling issues especially on medicine become a momentum of the synergy of the two diciplines, science and the Islamic jurisprudence of medicine. Many medical issuess are yet to require legal completions that are contemporary ijtihad based on perubatan discipline. On the other hand, ijtihad not only as exclusively unilateral, moreover inclusive multilateral approach (ijtihad jama’i) is needed on handling fiqh issues. It is because expert opinions also important in describing about those issuess. Without those opinions, Islamic law scholar could not give appropriate legal decision. However, this study will explore about the importance of development of Fiqh of Medicine based on contemporary ijtihad. These studies will explain some contemporary Medicine issuees, which is proof the requirement of contemporary ijtihad. For example on the issues of reproduktif organ donation. Some ijtihad instruments which are compatible will be aplicated based on the issuess. Research findings about perubatan issuess gave fact that there were not exact explanations on al-Qur’an and al-Sunnah also did not directly examined on fiqh book in the past. This condition cause contemporary ijtihad on those studies as an important study to give law answer about perubatan issues appear. Generally speaking, the current studies require the sinergized between the dynamic of Islamic law and the advance of science and technology.
Determination Methodology of the Fiduciary Law and Critic Towards Sharia Fiduciary Institutional Dualism and its Legislation
Authors: Setiawan Iwan
Published: November 2015

The Qur’an’s verse, Al-Baqarah: 283, explains rahn in a trip condition, however, the fact that the enforcement of rahn also occurs in muqim condition. Syar’ah fiduciary needs to be included into law as Muslims in Indonesia are the majority and based on the decision of OKI (Islamic Conference Organization), Indonesia is as an Islamic country. Therefore, by being supported by Pancasila, it generates God Sovereignty theory. The research method used is normative juridical method: that is the law research method done by researching literature. The research shows that: 1) the fiduciary truth (rahn) in Islamic law is (syara’) making a thing having value of property in the view of Syara’ as a debt guarantee, which enables to take the whole or part of the debt of the thing. Method of istinbath al-hukmi is related to the fiduciary done by the fiduciary institution using qiyas (metaphor), 2) the emergence of dualism of sharia fiduciary institution and sharia banking was caused by the existence of fatwa of National Sharia Board MUI (Indonesian Council of Religious Scholars) No: 25/DSN-MUI/lII/2002, and Fatwa of National Sharia Board MUI No: 26/DSN-MUI/II1/2002, in which sharia financial institution is allowed to produce the product which accords with syarih principles, 3) critic towards law No. 21, 2008 and governmental regulations No. 51, 2011 are not directly clarified, but has similarities and explanations concerning a product that must accord with sharia principles.
Buton, Islamization, and this Manuscript Tradition
Authors: Rosdin Ali
Published: November 2015

Buton the beginning of the country is filled with myths, which serves to form a world view of cosmocentric in determining descriptions of time, space, and society. Buton as a kingdom lasted for over two centuries (1327-1541) and then continued with a sultanate era for more than four centuries (1541-1960). During the era of the kingdom, Buton was not acquainted with script and literary tradition. Apparently, tradition of writing manuscript was firstly known in the sultanate era, when the process of Islamization began by the scholars who introduced the tradition of reading and writing the Arabic script, which was later modified into a Buton script (Buri Wolio). Sultanate built on the basis of ideology of Islam and Sufism applied teachings of “martabat tujuh” on the system and structure of government. The manuscripts tradition achieved its golden peak in the reign of the 29th Sultan, La Ode Muhammad Idrus Kaimuddin (1824-1851), which was instituted in a Zawiah school.

Employment effects of US minimum wage policy
Authors: Liu Shanshan , Hyclak Thomas
Published: November 2015

A strong argument against raising the minimum wage, often voiced in US policy debates, is that a higher minimum wage will have adverse effects on job opportunities. Considerable effort has been devoted to providing quantitative estimates of the employment effects of the minimum wage with quite mixed results. We review this literature before turning to estimates of the impact of state level differences in the level of the minimum wage on youth employment in local labor markets in the Great Lakes Region of the US. We find that a higher minimum wage level is associated with higher earnings, lower employment, and reduced worker turnover for those in the 14 to 18 age group. For workers aged 19 to 21 and 22 to 24, we find less consistent evidence of important minimum wage effects on earnings and employment.
Struktura ryzyk w reformie wybranych elementów polityki rynku pracy
Authors: Zybała Andrzej
Published: November 2015

The text analyses labour-market policy reforms implemented in Poland since mid-2014. The author focuses on their attendant structure of risks, particularly those seen in the part of the reform that envisages the delivery of professional activation services for the long-term unemployed by private contractors (employment agencies). The author discusses the traditional risks inherent in this type of reform found in a number of countries that have implemented it for a long time. These are: ‘creaming’ (selection by service providers of which clients to serve), ‘parking’ (less effort put into working with beneficiaries who are harder to place) and ‘gaming’ (exploitation of loopholes in programme design). The impact of these risks depends on the construction of quasi-markets in which the providers operate. The author argues that the success of reforms in Poland depends on the capacity to manage such risks, which, due to its very nature, is a skill that is hard to develop, and identifies a range of attendant difficulties. They arise, among others, from the adopted quasi-market model and from the current model of public management in the area of labour market policy.

Authors: He Debiao , Chen Jianhua , Hu Jin
Published: November 2015

All the current public-key cryptosystems will become insecure when size of a quantum register is sufficient. An authenticated key agreement protocol, which is against the attack of quantum computer, is proposed. The proposed protocol can provide the security properties known session key security, forward security, resistance to key-compromise impersonation attack and to unknown key-share attack, key control. We also prove its security in a widely accepted model.
The Communication in Distributed Client - Server Systems Used for Management of Flexible Manufacturing Systems
Authors: Lupu Valeriu , Tiliute Doru E.
Published: November 2015

Labour productivity growth is a necessary condition for social and economic progress, in general, and to overcome the economic crisis facing most of the world, in special.
Applying innovative solutions, based on the ITC, is one of the straight ways for achieving that objective, both important and necessary. This paper presents a software solution applicable to industrial production based on numerically controlled machines. It involves a distributed client - server communication system, combined with MLP neural networks for the recognition of the 2D industrial objects, viewed from any angle. The information on prismatic and rotational parts to be processed by numerically controlled machine, are stored on a database server together with the corresponding processing programs. The client applications run on the numerically controlled machines and on the robots serving groups of machines. While the machines are fixed, the robots are mobile and can move from a machine to another. As a novelty of the proposed solution, in some well defined situations, the clients are allowed to change messages among them, in order to avoid the server overload. The neural networks are used to help robots to recognize the parts before and during manipulation.
Fuzzy Based Packet Dropping Scheme in Wireless Cellular Networks
Authors: Mallapur Jayashree D. , Manvi Sunilkumar S. , Rao D.H.
Published: November 2015

Wireless multimedia networks are becoming very popular owing to the user demands for multimedia services. Packet dropping in the event of buffer congestion is one of the important issue in wireless multimedia networks. A packet dropping scheme has to be flexible and adaptive such that acceptable quality of an application is maintained. The paper presents a fuzzy based packet dropping scheme for wireless multimedia networks. A buffer manager placed at the base station performs packet dropping depending upon the traffic conditions and type of an application. Packet dropping is performed by computing dropping factor by considering packet priority, queue length and adaptive queue length threshold. The adaptive queue length threshold is used to dynamically adjust the dropping factor. The queue length threshold is varied by using two fuzzy input parameters, channel condition and rate of flow of an application. The scheme has been extensively simulated to test the performance in terms of acceptance and dropping probability of real-time handoff and new calls.
Modeling Uncertainty in a Decision Problem by Externalizing Information
Authors: Parpucea Ilie , Pârv Bazil , Socaciu Tiberiu
Published: November 2015

This paper deals with decision problems under uncertainty. The solution of a decision problem involves observation, processing, and modeling of statistical data in order to quantify the uncertainty. Better data measurement and estimation of uncertainty add more consistency to the solution of a decision problem. The paper proposes a new way of predicting the Bayesian- Nash equilibrium which uses information sources to measure new information received by information consumers. Thus, the estimation of uncertainty is based on a more solid mathematical foundation, needed (as in the case of artificial intelligence) to produce logical inferences. From another perspective, the externalization of information helps the software designers to produce better software architectures for decision support systems. An theoretical example illustrates a market situation with a small number of firms, each firm’s output being likely to have a large impact on the market price.
Accessing Information Sources using Ontologies
Authors: Sun Dongeun , Jung Hyosook , Hwang Chunsik , Kim Heejin , Park Seongbin
Published: November 2015

In this paper, we present a system that helps users access various types of information sources using ontologies. An ontology consists of a set of concepts and their relationships in a domain of interests. The system analyzes an ontology provided by a user so that the user can search and browse Wikipedia [1], DBpedia [4], PubMed [5], and the Web by utilizing the information in the ontology. In particular, terms defined in the ontology are mapped to Wikipedia pages and the navigation history of a user is saved so that it can serve as a personalized ontology. In addition, users can create and edit ontologies using the proposed system. We show that the proposed system can be used in an educational environment.
Exploring participatory visions of smart transport in Milton Keynes
Authors: Valdez Alan-Miguel , Cook Matthew , Potter Stephen , Langendahl Per-Anders
Published: November 2015

This paper explores citizen concerns emerging in the design stage of MotionMap, a smart transport initiative developed in the context of a £16 million smart city programme. A city-wide sensing system integrated with other databases will provide real-time information about vehicular and pedestrian movement. The experience of a series of smart transport workshops in Milton Keynes suggests that citizens feel that they bear the cost of smart cities through potentially intrusive surveillance producing sacrifices in convenience and privacy, while the gains are captured by industrial and governmental actors. This distrust of surveillance through urban sensing systems is not inflexible. Such systems can gain legitimacy through a participatory approach where users legitimize the sensing system by taking an active role in providing transport data, as opposed to having it ‘harvested’ from them through passive or opportunistic mechanisms. Participatory approaches are challenging because users will engage only if the system can provide compelling benefits. A key contribution of this research comes from identifying that the benefits important to citizens are not necessarily measured in economic terms nor in terms of increased efficiency.
Oxidative stability of blesbok, springbok and fallow deer droëwors with added rooibos extract
Authors: Jones Maxine , Hoffman Louwrens C. , Muller Magdalena
Published: November 2015

The addition of rooibos extract (RBE) (0%, 0.25%, 0.50%, 1.0% RBE) to improve the oxidative stability of blesbok, springbok and fallow deer droëwors (dried sausage) was studied. RBE treatments had no effects (p>0.05) on the lipid and protein oxidation of the dried product. With the addition of RBE 0.25%, lipid stability after drying showed the malonaldehydes decreased considerably. Haem-iron concentration increased after drying and differed (p<0.05) between RBE treatments within the dried stage within species. There were no differences (p>0.05) between the moisture, protein and fat contents between treatments within a specific processing stage. With the high polyunsaturated fatty acid content of the sausages, a high level of oxidation occurred. Even though RBE addition did not reduce oxidation significantly during the drying process, it could be a successful addition to the traditional South African meat product if it is shown to impart positive flavour attributes.
