Getting under your skin(s): a legal-ethical exploration of Fortnite's transformation into a content delivery platform and its manipulative potential*
Authors: Sax Marijn , Ausloos Jef
Published: August 2021

This article investigates the ethical and legal implications of increasingly manipulative practices in the gaming industry by looking at one of the currently most popular and profitable video games in the world. Fortnite has morphed from an online game into a quasi-social network and an important cultural reference point in the lifeworld of many (young) people. The game is also emblematic of the freemium business model, with strong incentives to design the game in a manner which maximizes microtransactions. This article suggests that to properly understand Fortnite's practices – which we predict will become more widely adopted in the video game industry in the near future – we need an additional perspective. Fortnite is not only designed for hyper-engagement; its search for continued growth and sustained relevance is driving its transformation from being a mere video game into a content delivery platform. This means that third parties can offer non game-related services to players within Fortnite's immersive game experience. In this paper, we draw on an ethical theory of manipulation (which defines manipulation as an ethically problematic influence on a person's behaviour) to explore whether the gaming experience offered by Fortnite harbours manipulative potential. To legally address the manipulative potential of commercial video game practices such as the ones found in Fortnite, we turn to European data protection and consumer protection law. More specifically, we explore how the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation and Unfair Commercial Practices Directive can provide regulators with tools to address Fortnite's manipulative potential and to make Fortnite (more) forthright.
The reform of passing off in Chinese Law: effects of the 2017 revision of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law
Authors: Feng Shujie
Published: August 2021

Confusion, or passing off, is a typical unfair practice recognized internationally, but national laws still differ from each other. Although the Chinese Anti-Unfair Competition Law of 1993 provided a narrow rule on passing off, a rich amount of case law has considerably enlarged its scope of application. The reform of the passing off regime in 2017 was essentially based on case law. This reform consists of four main aspects: expansion of the scope of protectable commercial signs: clarification of the applicability of the passing off rule to registered and unregistered trademarks; the adjustment of fame as a qualifying condition of passing off; and the adoption of a general rule prohibiting confusion. This reform has not only consolidated the case law and approach developed by the courts, but also bestowed an open and flexible spirit in the passing off regime which will enhance its efficiency in the fight against unfair imitation.

Transfer of technology: a North-South debate?
Authors: Raslan Reem Anwar Ahmed
Published: August 2021

The transfer of technology has been mainly subject to the North-South dichotomy where the North is regarded as the principal source of technical knowledge to the South. Nevertheless, as new economic powers emerge in the South, the scene of international technology transfer is changing rapidly. Many South-South endeavors on transfer of technology are on the rise. Thus, a new model of transfer of technology is gaining momentum, in particular the South-South Model of transfer of technology. This paper aims to look at this issue by attempting to answer the following questions: How did South-South cooperation in the field of transfer of technology evolve? How did the rise of the South affect the North-South conflict in the context of transfer of technology? What is the impact of the South-South cooperation in the field of technology transfer on the North?
The Combination of Taguchi and Proximity Indexed Value Methods for Multi-criteria Decision Making When Milling
Authors: Khanh Nguyen Lam , Cuong Nguyen Van
Published: August 2021

Milling is a commonly used method in mechanical machining. This is considered to be the method for the highest productivity among cutting methods. Moreover, the quality of the machined surface is increasingly improved as well as the machining productivity is increasingly enhanced thanks to the development of machine tool and cutting tool manufacturing technology. Therefore, in each specific processing condition (about machine, tool and part material, and other conditions), specific studies are required to determine the value of technological parameters in order to improve productivity and machining accuracy. Only in this way can we take full advantage of the capabilities of modern equipment. The process parameters in the milling method in particular and in the machining and cutting methods in general can be easily adjusted by the machine operator as the parameters of the cutting parameters or the change of tool types. In this article, the combination of Taguchi and Proximity Indexed Value (PIV) methods is presented for multi-criteria decision making in milling. An experimental matrix was designed according to Taguchi method with five input parameters, including the insert materials (TiN, TiCN, and TiAlN), nose radius, cutting velocity, feed rate and depth of cut. The total number of experiments that were performed was twenty-seven. The workpiece used during the experiment was SCM440 steel. At each experiment, the surface roughness was measured and the Material Removal Rate (MRR) was calculated. The weights of these two parameters have been chosen by the decision maker on the basis of consultation with experts. The PIV method was applied to determine the experiment at which the minimum surface roughness and the maximum MRR were simultaneously guaranteed. In addition, the influence of input parameters on surface roughness was also found in this study.

Published: August 2021

Leadership development corresponds to the focus on the individual’s success and competitiveness strategy. This is the optimal direction of the organization of attitude development because it covers two aspects of the student’s personality development: professionally-oriented and self-centric. The aim of the study is to identify and compare the leadership level in second- and fourth-year students to see dynamics of development and implementation of the leadership phenomenon in the professional and personal making up of future specialists. The task was to: (1) diagnose the existing educational impact of the university environment on the formation of leadership competencies; (2) clarify the relationship between the objective level of leadership skills development and assessment of leadership characteristics by students themselves; (3) determining tactics for further support and / or stimulation of personal and professional leadership skills of students; (4) elucidating the relationship between leadership skills and academic performance; (5) determining the universal prerequisites for the formation of leadership qualities of students. Based on the theoretical analysis of the issue, the authors developed an objective and subjective diagnostic model for leadership skills. In this study, data of the objective diagnostic technique are the key. Subjective diagnostic technique for leadership skills provides insights for problem interpretation. At the level of the first group of respondents, the average Leadership Skills Level of the second-year students was quite low and was found within the medium level. The second group of respondents consisting of the fourth-year students showed a slight but effective improvement. The Leadership Skills of this group were found at a sufficient level. Positive dynamics was revealed for all criteria of leadership skills as a result of applying objective diagnostic methods: decreased percentage of students with negative and relatively low markers of Leadership Skills Level and corresponding increase in percentage of students with positive markers of Leadership Skills Level. Further research can be organized in the direction of identifying and developing successful universal and professionally-oriented tactics for leadership development in students as part of attitude development.
Teaching Rhetorical Praxis in a Post-Truth World: An Undergraduate Course on Detecting and Analyzing Bullshit, Fake News, and Alternative Facts
Authors: Goggin Maureen
Published: August 2021

We are living in an era where reality, truth, and facts are being turned upside down and inside out. Fake news and falsehoods are being spewed out in increasing exponential rates. I was prompted to do something about the propensity of fake news through post-truth discourse and designed an undergraduate course that I titled: Bullshit, Fake News, and Alternative Facts. In this piece, I critically reflect on and share my theoretical frames for constructing the course, the design of it, my experience in teaching it, and report on a survey about the class—and I call all of you to work at least some material on post-truth into your classes or into a full course as I have.

Preferred Learning Styles for Respiratory Care Students at Texas State University – San Marcos
Authors: Russian Chris
Published: August 2021

Academic success includes setting goals, effective time management, and the match of teaching methods to learning style. It also depends on the educator and the manner in which material is presented. Learning style influences the retention of information and the depth of comprehension. If educators present material in a style that matches a student’s preferred learning style, then academic performance may improve. Assessing learning styles will benefit the student and the educator. Material retention will improve, thus improving test scores and limiting remediation. It is also important to determine if students, as a group, fit into a particular style or a particular cycle as they move through an educational program. The study: Students in the Department of Respiratory Care at Texas State University-San Marcos completed a questionnaire used to assess preferred learning styles. Methods: Analysis of variance was run to test for a relationship between learning cycle and student classification in the program (i.e. freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior). Cross tabulation was run to test for a relationship between learning style and student classification in the program. Results: Eighty-two students received the Kolb LSI questionnaire. The data demonstrated the juniors preferred a converger learning style and the senior students are in the abstract conceptualization cycle of learning. There were no relationships demonstrated between other groups in the study. Discussion: The junior and senior students appear to prefer the stage of learning involving thinking and problem analysis. When a group of students demonstrate a preference for a particular learning style then educators can develop their curriculum along a similar path.
A Review of the Literature on Evidence-Based Practice in Physical Therapy
Authors: Schreiber Joe , Stern Perri
Published: August 2021

The term “evidence-based practice” (EBP) has become ubiquitous in physical therapy practice. Since the mid 1990s, over 70 articles have been published in the physical therapy literature relating to EBP. Many physical therapists agree with the notion that scientific evidence should be utilized to guide practice decisions. However, for physical therapy clinicians, there are numerous barriers to EBP. Also, there appears to be a disconnect between academia and clinical practice in terms of the utilization of research evidence to inform clinical decision making. The purpose of this review of the literature is to begin to elucidate and address some of the many issues that the physical therapy profession faces with respect to evidence-based practice by providing a comprehensive synthesis and analysis of the EBP literature in Physical Therapy (PT).

Avrupa sosyolojisi ile İslâm teolojisi arasında: Avrupa’da İslâm
Authors: Ağçoban Sıddık
Published: August 2021

Yirminci yüzyılın ikinci yarısı hem İslâm hem de Avrupa açısından önemli bir yere sahiptir. Çünkü çok sayıda Müslüman çeşitli nedenlerle bu tarihten itibaren Avrupa’da yaşamak zorunda kalmıştır. Avrupa’nın modern, seküler kamusal bilinci ise genel olarak hem Müslümanların varlığından hem de bunun giderek görünürlük kazanmasından oldukça rahatsız olmaktadır. Diğer yandan İslâm’ın artık Avrupa’nın inkâr edilemez bir parçası olduğu da açıktır. Buna bağlı olarak bugün Avrupa’da Müslümanların talepleriyle Avrupalı millet ve yönetimlerin taleplerinin uzlaşması gerektiği yönünde güçlü bir beklenti oluşmuş durumdadır. Bu çalışmada söz konusu beklentinin Avrupa sosyolojisi temelinde oluştuğu ileri sürülmektedir. Diğer bir ifadeyle bu çalışma konunun teolojisinden ziyade sosyolojisinin önemli hale geldiğini, bu yüzden de sahici bir uyum sürecinin teoloji temelli değil sosyoloji temelli olacağını savunmaktadır. Nitekim mevcut teolojik kanallar şimdiki şartlar altında sahici bir uzlaşı tesis etmekten uzak gözükmektedir. Bu, İslâm teolojisinin yok olacağı anlamına değil, bu teoloji ve buna bağlı bazı uygulamaların Avrupa koşullarında yeniden yazılacağı anlamına gelmektedir. Avrupa temelli fiili bir İslâm anlayışını ifade etmek için kullanılan “Avrupa İslâmı” kavramı bu konsept içinde yeniden anlamını bulmaktadır. “Avrupa İslâmı” hakkında biri politik diğeri sivil nitelikli olmak üzere iki kategorik anlamın varlığından söz etmek mümkündür. İster asimilasyonist bir politikaya gönderme yapsın isterse sivil nitelikli entelektüel çabalara dayansın her iki durumda da anlamın dayandığı zemin Avrupa koşullarıdır. Bunun geleceğe yönelik anlamı “Almanya Ekolü”, “İngiltere Ekolü” gibi Avrupa temelli yeni bazı İslâm ekollerinin konuşulabilecek olmasıdır.

Published: August 2021

O presente relato de extensão universitária visa apresentar a V Semana Nacional do Cérebro da UENP, focando no perfil da comunidade atingida pela ação. Essa ação ocorreu entre os dias 27 e 29 de março de 2019 e envolveu palestras sobre Neurociências com foco na saúde mental, pesquisas laboratoriais e inovações tecnológicas na área. Como meio de divulgação, utilizou-se mídias online. Os ouvintes se inscreveram via Google Forms. Como resultado, 358 pessoas se inscreveram, sendo que 256 pessoas estiveram presentes no primeiro dia, 255 no segundo e 60 no terceiro dia do evento (no bar, com lotação limitada). Apesar de ser uma ação extensionista, 90% dos ouvintes eram estudantes de graduação, mas que não necessariamente são da área de Neurociência, o que demonstra que o evento ainda está restrito ao ambiente acadêmico. Desse modo, para atingir a comunidade para além dos muros da universidade, é necessário repensar no formato desse tipo de ação extensionista, desde a divulgação, até a execução.

Disaster communications are frequently included as an area of improvement in the majority of incident after action reports. One segment of the population that is overlooked or intentionally excluded from messaging constructs is adolescents and transitional aged youth. Social media, the preferred mechanism of this population, has the capacity to both educate as well as misinform. Thoughtful and intentional utilization of social media channels for adolescent audiences can convey facts and motivation for appropriate community action when mindfully incorporated into a crisis communication plan by emergency managers. Increasing methods of accurately conveying life-safety issues during the COVID-19 pandemic and its increasing variants must be done correctly and timely.

Background: Availability and access to opioid agonist treatment (OAT) are limited despite its evidence of effectiveness in treating opioid use disorders (OUDs). COVID-19 pandemic has inadvertently exacerbated the problems of restricted access to OAT and, at the same time, has increased odds of harm due to opioid use.Objectives: We examined (a) adaptations conceived or implemented in the buprenorphine (BPN)-based OAT service delivery at the national, regional, or local level during the COVID-19 pandemic and (b) the impact of such transformations on the quantitative and qualitative aspects of service delivery. We focused exclusively on BPN-based OAT.Methods: We carried out a systematic electronic database search in PubMed and Google Scholar. We included all types of articles. Additionally, we looked up relevant websites of international and national government agencies working in the field of drug abuse.Results: We included 21 articles from 10 countries in the review and summarized the results in a narrative format. The majority of literature was from developed countries. We observed changes in the BPN initiation, dosing, and dispensing protocols, and particular emphasis on telemedicine. There was limited literature on service provisions for the vulnerable population. The changing modes of service delivery have possibly increased the number of new patients and reduced the risk of exposure owing to limited in-person contact.Conclusion: Newer adaptations to meet with the challenges of COVID-19 pandemic in the BPN-based OAT delivery tend to be innovative, flexible, and patient centered. Although it is too early to comment on these newer adaptations’ impact, the outcome's directions appear to be positive.
Adverse effects of regulation on buprenorphine prescribing and its impact on the treatment of opioid use disorder

Problem: Drug addiction and misuse is a medical and societal problem that has exacted a heavy toll on the United States, and, indeed, the world. In the United States, opioids are currently the main driver of drug overdose deaths. Despite the proven safety and efficacy of medically assisted therapy (MAT) using buprenorphine for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD), as well as the fact that its use is regulated by US Federal Law, many states have enacted separate and often burdensome regulations that restrict the prescribing of buprenorphine beyond those required by the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) under the provisions of the DATA 2000 Act, and unnecessarily reduce the availability of effective treatment of OUD in those states.Purpose: The purpose of this article is to review the pharmacology of both buprenorphine (and naloxone as an additive) and the risks associated with the misuse of buprenorphine products and to consider if such additional state oversight and restrictions improves or is deleterious to public safety in the face of this national epidemic.Conclusion: We conclude that the placing of unnecessary and unscientific restraints on the treatment of patients with OUD is inconsistent with the principles of harm reduction, and such restraints should be removed unless/until they can be supported by real evidence.
Rapid microinduction of sublingual buprenorphine from methadone in an outpatient setting: “A case series”

Buprenorphine (BPN), FDA approved for opioid use disorder (OUD), requires an induction protocol for the patient in mild to moderate withdrawal. This can be problematic in outpatient practice due to complicated medical management. An emerging technique in literature uses a novel approach, called microinduction. In this method, escalating microdoses of BPN are administered, without requiring the patient to stop the opioid agonist.Our addiction treatment center used a microdosing technique to transit patients from methadone to BPN, without requiring opioid abstinence. Our case series is novel as it was outpatient microinduction from methadone to BPN in 7 days or less.
A case report of satisfactory post-left knee replacement pain control after switching from oxycodone to buprenorphine
Authors: Qiu, MD Shuo , Vasudeva, MD Sachinder
Published: August 2021

This case report demonstrates using buprenorphine 32 mg to achieve adequate pain control after a total knee replacement. The patient stopped buprenorphine 48 hours before surgery. He was prescribed 150 tablets of oxycodone 5 mg. After finishing oxycodone, he experienced significant pain that was relieved by 32 mg of buprenorphine daily. Urine drug screens were negative perioperatively. Patients with opioid use disorder require careful discharge planning to avoid opioid relapses or misuses of pain medications. Buprenorphine offers many unique advantages in acute pain control, including lower risk of respiratory depression, abuse potential, and lower risk of nephrotoxicity.

Ce chapitre présente le potentiel des matériaux polyanoniques Na3V2(PO4)3 et Na3V2(PO4)2F3, de structures différentes, à l'électrode positive de batteries Na-ion. Sont notamment discutés les voies de synthèse les plus adaptées pour les obtenir, le contrôle de la relation composition - structure – propriétés, mais aussi le défi que représente leur stabilisation lors de l’extraction du troisième sodium de la structure, celle-ci se faisant aujourd’hui au détriment des performances électrochimiques.
Inflation cosmologique
Authors: RENAUX-PETEL Sébastien
Published: August 2021

Ce chapitre présente l’inflation, le paradigme de l’univers primordial selon lequel les germes des grandes structures de l’univers sont issus de fluctuations quantiques qui ont été amplifiées et étirées aux échelles cosmologiques pendant une brève phase d’expansion accélérée de l’univers. Y est notamment expliqué la façon dont l’inflation fournit un pont entre physique des hautes énergies et observations cosmologiques.
Le monde international des catastrophes : au-delà de la réflexivité, dépasser le naturalisme ?
Authors: REVET Sandrine
Published: August 2021

Le monde international des catastrophes s’est structuré autour de la notion de vulnérabilité, sans que la centralité de l’aléa dans la compréhension des catastrophes ne soit radicalement remise en question. Le moment anthropocène fait rejouer cette tension, plutôt à la faveur d’une naturalisation des problèmes confondant souvent catastrophes et événements extrêmes, et mettant en place des mesures d’urgence et non structurelles.

Abstract. The iron-oxide content of dust in the atmosphere and most notably its apportionment between hematite (α-Fe2O3) and goethite (α-FeOOH) are key determinants in quantifying dust's light absorption, its top of atmosphere UV radiances used for dust monitoring, and ultimately shortwave dust direct radiative effects (DRE). Hematite and goethite column mass concentrations and iron-oxide mass fractions of total dust mass concentration were retrieved from the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) measurements in the ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) channels. The retrievals were performed for dust-identified aerosol plumes using aerosol optical depth (AOD) and spectral imaginary refractive index provided by the Multi-Angle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction (MAIAC) algorithm over six continental regions (North America, North Africa, West Asia, Central Asia, East Asia, and Australia). The dust particles are represented as an internal mixture of non-absorbing host and absorbing hematite and goethite. We use the Maxwell–Garnett effective medium approximation with carefully selected complex refractive indices of hematite and goethite that produce mass fractions of iron oxides species consistent with in situ values found in the literature to derive the hematite and goethite volumetric/mass concentrations from MAIAC EPIC products. We compared the retrieved hematite and goethite concentrations with in situ dust aerosol mineralogical content measurements, as well as with published data. Our data display variations within the published range of hematite, goethite, and iron-oxide mass fractions for pure mineral dust cases. A specific analysis is presented for 15 sites over the main dust source regions. Sites in the central Sahara, Sahel, and Middle East exhibit a greater temporal variability of iron oxides relative to other sites. Niger site (13.52° N, 2.63° E) is dominated by goethite over Harmattan season with median of ~2 weight percentage (wt.%) of iron-oxide. Saudi Arabia site (27.49° N, 41.98° E) over Middle East also exhibited surge of goethite content with the beginning of Shamal season. The Sahel dust is richer in iron-oxide than Saharan and northern China dust except in Summer. The Bodélé Depression area shows a distinctively lower iron-oxide concentration (~1 wt. %) throughout the year. Finally, we show that EPIC data allow to constrain the hematite refractive index. Specifically, we select 5 out of 13 different number of hematite refractive indices widely variable in published laboratory studies by constraining the iron-oxide mass ratio to the known measured values. Provided climatology of hematite and goethite mass fractions across main dust regions of the Earth will be useful for dust shortwave DRE studies and climate modeling.
