Authors: Kesten Karen , White Krista A. , Heitzler Ella T. , Chaplin Lisa T. , Bondmass Mary D.
Published: January 2019

Background:

Acquisition of evidence-based practice (EBP) competencies in graduate-level nursing programs bridges the research–practice gap in professional practice. This study evaluated the impact of the Star Model of Knowledge Transformation as a framework for course design on graduate-level nursing students' perceived EBP competencies.

Method:

Data were collected from 2012 to 2017 (
N
= 544). Repeated-measures ANOVA was used to analyze pre- and postassessment data over time. Data were collected for each of the five stages or Star Points of EBP competencies.

Results:

Significant postcourse improvement in perceived EBP competencies was demonstrated (
p
≤ .000) for all Star Points and years. The greatest pre- and postassessment percentage change occurred in the Translation Star Point scores and the least percentage change occurred in Discovery.

Conclusion:

These data support the use of intentional course design based on a recognized EBP model to improve perceived EBP competencies in Master of Science in Nursing students.

Authors: Al-Emran Mostafa , Alkhoudary Yahya Ashour , Mezhuyev Vitaliy , Al-Emran Mohammed
Published: January 2019

Mobile learning (M-learning) is relatively becoming a hot topic that attracted the interest of many scholars. Although M-learning is spreading rapidly across many countries in the world, studying the students and educators’ attitudes towards its usage is still in short supply. This study is considered one of the few that attempts to examine the students and educators’ attitudes towards the use of M-learning by focusing on gender and smartphone ownership differences. The data were collected through a questionnaire survey from eight different universities in Dubai, United Arab of Emirates. 141 students and 31 academics participated in the study. The results indicated that the male students and academics were more likely to use the M-learning systems than the females. Moreover, the students and academics who own smartphones were more likely to use the M-learning systems than those who do not so.

A Novel Model for Securing Mobile-based Systems against DDoS Attacks in Cloud Computing Environment
Authors: El-Sofany Hosam , Abou El-Seoud Samir
Published: January 2019

the increasing growth of mobile devices technology and Mobile-based systems with the emerging of cloud computing technology, created a Mobile Cloud Computing field to be the recent future technology for different wireless services. The development of Mobile-based system under cloud computing environment solve some performance and environment related issues include: bandwidth, storage capacity, availability, scalability and heterogeneity. The Mobile-based cloud computing apps are different comparing to mobile computing apps, since in the first model the devices run cloud based web applications not as mobile computing native apps. Services of Mobile-based systems via cloud are accessing and sharing through internet connection thus they are open for attacker to attack on its security. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks can cause a big problem in mobile cloud computing security. The main objective of DDoS attacks is to infect wireless devises resources (e.g., software applications, wireless network, etc.) and make them unavailable to the authorized user. In DDoS, the attacker tries to overload the Mobile-based service with traffic. The main objective of this research paper is to introduce novel model for securing Mobile-based systems against DDoS attacks. Efficiency and performance analysis evaluations of the proposed model are presented.  The feedbacks of the experimental results were highly promising, for protecting mobile-based cloud computing systems against DDoS attacks.

Zika virus (ZIKV) has been presumed to be endemic in Southeast Asia (SEA), with a low rate of human infections. Although the first ZIKV evidence was obtained in the 1950s through serosurveys, the first laboratory-confirmed case was only detected in 2010 in Cambodia. The epidemiology of ZIKV in SEA remains uncertain because of the scarcity of available data. From 2016, subsequent to the large outbreaks in the Pacific and Latin America, several Asian countries started reporting increasing numbers of confirmed ZIKV patients, but no global epidemiological assessment is available to date. Here, with the aim of providing information on ZIKV circulation and population immunity, we conducted a seroprevalence study among blood donors in Vientiane, Laos. Sera from 359 asymptomatic consenting adult donors in 2003–2004 and 687 in 2015 were screened for anti-ZIKV IgG using NS1 ELISA assay (Euroimmun, Luebeck, Germany). Positive and equivocal samples were confirmed for anti-ZIKV–neutralizing antibodies by virus neutralization tests. Our findings suggest that ZIKV has been circulating in Vientiane over at least the last decade. Zika virus seroprevalence observed in the studied blood donors was low, 4.5% in 2003–2004 with an increase in 2015 to 9.9% (P = 0.002), possibly reflecting the increase of ZIKV incident cases reported over this period. We did not observe any significant difference in seroprevalence according to gender. With a low herd immunity in the Vientiane population, ZIKV represents a risk for future large-scale outbreaks. Implementation of a nationwide ZIKV surveillance network and epidemiological studies throughout the country is needed.

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonosis caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. In humans, the infection induces the formation of parasitic cysts mostly in the liver and lungs, but virtually any organ can be affected. CE of the bone is one of the rarest forms of the disease, yet it is also extremely debilitating for patients and hard to manage for clinicians. Unlike abdominal CE, there is currently no expert consensus on the management of bone CE. In this study, we conducted a survey of the clinical records of seven European referral centers for the management of patients with CE and retrieved data on the clinical management of 32 patients with a diagnosis of bone CE. Our survey confirmed that the patients endured chronic debilitating disease with a high rate of complications (84%). We also found that diagnostic approaches were highly heterogeneous. Surgery was extensively used to treat these patients, as well as albendazole, occasionally combined with praziquantel or nitaxozanide. Treatment was curative only for two patients, with one requiring amputation of the involved bone. Our survey highlights the need to conduct systematic studies on bone CE, both retrospectively and prospectively.
Os critérios de recepção das decisões acerca dos delitos de desacato do sistema interamericano de direitos humanos no Superior Tribunal de Justiça à luz do controle de convencionalidade externo
Authors: Teixeira Marcelo Markus , Pereira Reginaldo , Bieger Andrey Luciano
Published: January 2019

O artigo trata, à luz do controle de convencionalidade, da recepção da recomendação do Sistema Interamericano de Direitos Humanos de descriminalizar os crimes de desacato pelo Superior Tribunal de Justiça. Restringe-se à análise de dois recursos orientadores dos posicionamentos do Tribunal: o Recurso Especial n. 1.640.084/SP e o Habeas Corpus n. 379.269/ MS. O método é indutivo e são utilizadas a revisão bibliográfica e a análise documental como técnicas de pesquisa. Conclui-se que o Superior Tribunal de Justiça considerou apenas decisões nas quais o Estado tenha sido parte no litígio, o que descarta a recepção via mecanismo do controle de convencionalidade externo.
Lei e Administração: Encontros e Desencontros
Authors: Sordi Bernardo
Published: January 2019

O objetivo do texto é identificar as principais características que o princípio da legalidade assume na modernidade, com especial foco nos desenvolvimentos ocorridos na Europa continental durante o século XIX. Identificam-se três etapas maiores: a legalidade-potência, a legalidade-garantia e a legalidade-sistema. A primeira ocorre durante a época da revolução francesa, e identifica-se com a assunção por parte do Estado do primado absoluto na administração, fundando sua legitimidade na lei. A segunda vai do período imediatamente posterior até meados do oitocentos, e corresponde ao aparecimento dos primeiros esquemas de controle da administração pública, marcados pelo conceito de “estado de direito. O terceiro período vai de meados do oitocentos até princípios do novecentos, e corresponde à fundação do Estado administrativo e às grandes elaborações doutrinárias que estruturam os contornos administração pública e a especialidade do seu direito. Ressalta-se que as diferentes etapas se sobrepõem e deixam marcas na definição do direito administrativo. Por fim, individua-se o século XX, marcado pela constitucionalização da administração e pelo controle da própria lei, e a legalidade contemporânea, marcada por exigências mais pesadas que vão além da conformidade com a lei para alcançar as próprias justificações dos atos administrativos.
Polifonia e verdade nas narrativas processuais
Authors: Trindade André Karam , Karam Henriete
Published: January 2019

O artigo insere-se no campo do Direito e Literatura, mais especificamente dos estudos denominados Direito como Literatura. Aborda o processo judicial e, destacando seu caráter polifônico e narrativo, tem como objetivo demonstrar a pertinência de incorporar as noções de coerência narrativa e de verossimilhança à teoria da decisão. Para tanto, recorre ao conceito bakhtiniano de polifonia – originário dos estudos literários e linguísticos –, examinando a natureza dialógica da linguagem e caracterizando o discurso polifônico; a seguir, evidencia a narratividade e a polifonia do processo judicial; e, por fim, problematiza, ilustrativamente, a concepção de verdade postulada por Michele Taruffo, contrapondo-a à ideia de que a decisão judicial constitui uma ficção assumida como verdade.
Evaluating wildfire emissions projection methods in comparisons of
simulated and observed air quality

Published: January 2019

Abstract. Climate warming has been implicated as a major driver of recent catastrophic wildfires world-wide but analyses of regional differences in U.S. wildfires show that socioeconomic factors also have a large role. We previously leveraged statistical projections of annual areas burned (AAB) over the fast-growing Southeastern U.S. that include both climate and socioeconomic changes from 2011 to 2060, and developed wildfire emissions estimates over the region at 12-km × 12-km resolution to enable air quality (AQ) impact assessments for 2010 and selected future years. These estimates employed two AAB datasets, one using statistical downscaling (statistical d-s), and another using dynamical downscaling (dynamical d-s) of climate inputs from the same climate realization. This paper evaluates these wildfire emissions estimates against the U.S. National Emissions Inventory (NEI) as a benchmark in contemporary (2010) simulations with the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model, and against network observations for ozone and particulate matter below 2.5 µm in diameter (PM2.5). We hypothesize that our emissions estimates will yield model results that meet acceptable performance criteria, and are comparable to those using the NEI. The three simulations, which differ only in wildfire emissions, compare closely, with differences in ozone and PM2.5 below 1 % and 8 % respectively, but have much larger maximum mean fractional biases (MFBs) against observations (25 % and 51 % respectively). The largest biases for ozone are in the fire-free winter, indicating that modeling uncertainties other than wildfire emissions are mainly responsible. Statistical d-s, with the largest AAB domain-wide, is 7 % more positively biased and 4 % less negatively biased in PM2.5 on average than the other two cases, while dynamical d-s and the NEI differ only by 2 %–3 % partly because of their equally large summertime PM2.5 underpredictions. Primary species (elemental carbon, and ammonium from ammonia) have good-to-acceptable results, especially for the downscaling cases, providing confidence in our emissions estimation methodology. Compensating biases in sulfate (positive), and in organic carbon and dust (negative) lead to acceptable PM2.5 performance. As these species are driven by secondary chemistry or non-wildfire sources, their production pathways can be fruitful avenues for CMAQ improvements. Overall, the downscaling methods match, and sometimes exceed the NEI in simulating current wildfire AQ impacts, while enabling such assessments much farther into the future.
Comparative analysis of MODIS, MISR, and AERONET climatology over the Middle East and North Africa
Authors: Farahat Ashraf
Published: January 2019

Abstract. Comparative analysis of Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR),
Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS),
and Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) aerosol optical depth (AOD) products is performed
over seven AERONET stations located in the Middle East and North Africa for
the period of 2000–2015. Sites are categorized into dust, biomass burning,
and mixed aerosol conditions. MISR and MODIS AOD agree during high-dust seasons but MODIS tends
to underestimate AOD during low-dust seasons. Over dust-dominated sites,
MODIS/Terra AODs indicate a negative trend over time, while
MODIS/Aqua, MISR, and AERONET depict a positive trend. A deviation between
MODIS/Aqua and MODIS/Terra was observed regardless of the geographic location
and data sampling. The performance of MODIS is similar over the entire region
with ∼64 % of AOD within the Δτ=±0.05±0.15τAERO
confidence range. MISR AOD retrievals fall within 84 % of the same
confidence range for all sites examined here. Both MISR and MODIS capture
aerosol climatology; however few cases were observed where one of the two
sensors better captures the climatology over a certain location or AOD range
than the other sensor. AERONET Level 2.0 version 3, MODIS Collection 6.1,
and MISR V23 data have been used in analyzing the results presented in this study.
The ballast effect of lithogenic matter and its influences on the carbon fluxes in the Indian Ocean
Authors: Rixen Tim , Gaye Birgit , Emeis Kay-Christian , Ramaswamy Venkitasubramani
Published: January 2019

Abstract. Data obtained from long-term sediment trap experiments in the Indian Ocean in
conjunction with satellite observations illustrate the influence of primary
production and the ballast effect on organic carbon flux into the deep sea.
They suggest that primary production is the main control on the spatial
variability of organic carbon fluxes at most of our study sites in the Indian
Ocean, except at sites influenced by river discharges. At these sites the
spatial variability of organic carbon flux is influenced by lithogenic matter
content. To quantify the impact of lithogenic matter on the organic carbon
flux, the densities of the main ballast minerals, their flux rates and
seawater properties were used to calculate sinking speeds of material
intercepted by sediment traps. Sinking speeds in combination with
satellite-derived export production rates allowed us to compute organic
carbon fluxes. Flux calculations imply that lithogenic matter ballast
increases organic carbon fluxes at all sampling sites in the Indian Ocean by
enhancing sinking speeds and reducing the time of organic matter respiration
in the water column. We calculated that lithogenic matter content in
aggregates and pellets enhances organic carbon flux rates on average by
45 % and by up to 62 % at trap locations in the river-influenced
regions of the Indian Ocean. Such a strong lithogenic matter ballast effect
explains the fact that organic carbon fluxes are higher in the low-productive
southern Java Sea compared to the high-productive western Arabian Sea. It
also implies that land use changes and the associated enhanced transport of
lithogenic matter from land into the ocean may significantly affect the
CO2 uptake of the organic carbon pump in the receiving ocean areas.
The Utah urban carbon dioxide (UUCON) and Uintah Basin greenhouse gas

Published: January 2019

Abstract. The Utah Urban CO2 Network (UUCON) is a network of near-surface atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement sites aimed at quantifying long-term changes in urban and rural locations throughout northern Utah since 2001. We document improvements to UUCON made in 2015 that increase measurement precision, standardize sampling protocols, and expand the number of measurement locations to represent a larger region in northern Utah. In a parallel effort, near-surface CO2 and methane (CH4) measurement sites were assembled as part of the Uintah Basin Greenhouse Gas (GHG) network in a region of oil and natural gas extraction located in northeastern Utah. Additional efforts have resulted in automated quality control, calibration, and visualization of data through utilities hosted online (http://https://air.utah.edu). These improvements facilitate atmospheric modeling efforts and quantify atmospheric composition in urban and rural locations throughout northern Utah. Here we present an overview of the instrumentation design and methods within UUCON and the Uintah Basin GHG networks as well as describe and report measurement uncertainties using a broadly applicable and novel method. Historic and modern data described in this paper are archived with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) and can be found at https://doi.org/10.7289/V50R9MN2 and https://doi.org/10.25921/8vaj-bk51 respectively
A PEDAGOGIA KANTIANA: O SUJEITO MORAL COMO FOCO DA EDUCAÇÃO
Authors: Cerqueira Samira da Silva , Euzebio Marcos Sidnei Pagotto
Published: January 2019

O presente estudo tem como objetivo fazer uma breve análise acerca do sujeito moral como parte central da educação segundo Kant. Para o filósofo alemão, a educação está intimamente relacionada com a moral, haja vista que o homem não nasce com ela em si, todavia, torna-se moral através da educação, mas, para um maior entendimento dessas questões é, antes de tudo, necessária uma breve exposição sobre o período histórico-cultural em que viveu Kant, o Iluminismo.            Dessa forma, o principal papel da educação é aguçar no aluno o seu juízo, juntamente com a prática de uma pedagogia fundamentada no imperativo categórico que, através da razão crítica, coaduna a esfera do particular com o geral numa mesma disposição, isso tudo, no entanto, sem esquecer o fato de que a razão não deve dispensar um forte exame sobre seus limites e possibilidades, haja vista a preocupação de Kant com o que se refere às fronteiras da própria razão, questão fundamental no período maduro de sua filosofia.

A CIÊNCIA DO MESTRE
Authors: Borges BRUNO GONÇALVES
Published: January 2019

Neste texto, proponho uma leitura a partir da filosofia da diferença acerca do lema de Jean-Baptiste de La Salle (1651-1719) sobre a formação dos professores, que consiste, segundo ele, em “tirar dos novos mestres o que têm, e não devem ter; e, dar-lhes o que não têm, e é muito necessário que tenham[1]”. Sem, contudo, tomar este lema como objeto em sua forma histórica, caberá aqui apresenta-lo como ressonância a uma preocupação reincidente sobre os indivíduos que se ocupam da educação dos outros, o professorado. A consideração a que chego é a de que os saberes conformados em torno de uma “ciência do mestre” consideram o que, no campo da filosofia da diferença, posso chamar de conhecimento perceptivo. Insuficiente, no entanto, esse conhecimento parece inviabilizar outras dimensões da experiência educativa como os afetos e os conceituais que, quando muito, tangenciam essa prática.[1] Cf. Mialaret; Dottrens (1974) Cit. “A partir de La conduite dês écoles chrétiennes,” p. 305-312, basicamente, um exercício de formação moral.
The composition and content of phenolic compounds in tea, grown in humid subtropics of Russia

Published: January 2019

The article presents the results of studies on the dynamics, qualitative and quantitative composition of phenolic compounds of tea raw materials and tea of new forms of selection of the Institute. The regularity in their synthesis by months is determined, which affects the quality indicators of the end product and necessitates blending to the repaired tea. The accumulation of tannins in tea raw materials depends on hydrothermal conditions, in particular, the amount of precipitation. The content of tannin increases from May to June, then there is some decline in their content, due to hydrothermal stress, slowing the synthesis of tannins in the tea leaf. The content of the water-soluble fraction gradually increases from May to July, and then there is a slight decline. It is shown that the accumulation of phenolic compounds in tea raw materials varies during the collection season. The contents of theaflavins increased from the beginning of the collecting sheet to its completion. The content of thearubigins showed peaks: the lowest rate in June, the highest in August. It was revealed that a sharp drop in the synthesis of thearubigins in June is associated with the onset of the summer dormancy of growth and synthetic processes. The synthesis of both indicators depends on meteorological conditions. The comparative analysis of the samples of tea raw materials collected from experimental plants is carried out. It is shown that the content of tannin and extractive substances in the raw materials of the studied varieties and mutant forms is high. In terms of the ratio of theaflavins and thearubigins, tea made from experienced raw materials meets international requirements. Determination of the qualitative composition of the catechin group of green tea, produced from raw materials of new forms, showed a high level of accumulation of the main groups of catechins.

Published: January 2019

Climate change, ecological degradation and socio-economic developments are increasingly putting pressure on people’s living environments. Societies, regions and cities need to increase their resilience through adaptive governance, which is their capacity to adapt to changing relationships between society and ecosystems. In this article, we explore how three core conditions for adaptive governance, referred to as; 1) discourse arenas, 2) epistemic networks and 3) leadership, have proved to be useful in the shaping of the Markermeer-IJmeer region, part of the Amsterdam Metropole Region in the Netherlands. We find that discourse arenas and epistemic networks have set the scene for societal actors to invest in a sustainable transformation of the area. Moreover, they were a push factor for the transformation of opinions how to govern and plan the area. Actors identified links to overcome the division between socio-economic development and environmental conservation in the Amsterdam Metropole region. Actors from the industry took steps to include nature conservation. We recommend that adaptive governance should be enhanced with notions such as discourse, learning, trust, responsibility and leadership in future research and policy making for resilient urban areas.

El concepto de mentoría como tal, como una relación de interacción continua en carácter de guía, de apoyo, de orientación y/o instrucción, entre el mentor que por lo general es una personan de mayor edad, experiencia y formación con otra persona. El mentorado, de un nivel menor en esos aspectos, con la finalidad de desarrollar un proceso de autorrealización, no se maneja. Sin embargo, me atrevo a decir que si hay profesores que son verdaderos mentores, que buscan sacar en el estudiante la mejor versión posible, que los motivan a desarrollar habilidades y destrezas profesionales y personales, que les forman en valores y que de alguna manera les acortan el camino hacia la profesionalidad con sabios consejos, motivación y acompañamiento.

Authors: Muñoz Diana , Licona Alonso , Morales Angela , Zorto Fernando
Published: January 2019

Se diseñó y construyó una mesa de simulación de inundaciones provocadas por precipitación. La mesa consiste en una maqueta que representa un río, al cual se le añade agua almacenada en un tanque con el objetivo de que aumente el nivel de agua, simulando una inundación. Se desarrolló un sistema de alerta temprana que, a partir de datos de nivel de agua obtenidos mediante sensores ultrasónicos, emite alertas de inundación. Los sensores están colocados en puntos aleatorios equidistantes que envían los datos a una placa electrónica para ser procesados y posteriormente almacenados en una hoja de cálculo. La información es exportada nuevamente a la placa y los niveles de agua son comparados con los escenarios de riesgo establecidos. El código automáticamente evalúa la necesidad de emitir alerta verde, amarilla o roja, según sea el caso. El sistema tiene la capacidad de almacenar la información obtenida de manera periódica, generando una base de datos de nivel de rio en función del tiempo. La mesa de simulación, además de servir como medio de verificación del código en laboratorio, servirá para la generación de nuevos prototipos. Con este sistema de alerta temprana se busca fortalecer los comités de emergencia a nivel local, brindado información en tiempo real que sirva para tomar decisiones de manera más efectiva.

Establishment of New Fundamental Theory in Diffusion Phenomena
Authors: Okino Takahisa
Published: January 2019

Investigating the elementary process of diffusion revealed that the De Broglie hypothesis is really valid in a material and further that the Schrödinger equation is reasonably derived from the diffusion equation. The diffusion equation is thus one of the fundamental equations in physics. The problem between a moving coordinate system and a fixed coordinate system for the diffusion equation had never been discussed until recently in the history of diffusion theory. In that situation, it is revealed that investigating the problem between those coordinate systems is indispensable for understanding the diffusion phenomena. The new findings obtained here, which are revolutionary in the existing diffusion theory, will be not only dominant but also indispensable for further advance in the diffusion study.
The Syntactic Status of Arabic Clauses Introduced by ʔinna A Minimalist Study
Authors: Alotaibi Mansour Qazan
Published: January 2019

A Standard Arabic (SA) complementizer known as ʔinna poses a restriction on word orders in the clause it introduces and induces accusative Case-marking on the otherwise nominative preverbal NPs (Note1). Following Chomsky’s (2001) account of the morphosyntax of Case, this paper argues that ʔinna is a Case assigner and thus it carries an uninterpretable Case feature that determines the value which it assigns to an unvalued Case feature concerning accessible goal within A-bar projection. The paper shows that this argument captures the asymmetrical word order between clauses introduced by ʔinna and those headed by null CPs. 
Reward, Motivation and Creativity: Moderated By the Need for Power
Authors: Duah Harris Kwaku , Opoku Prince
Published: January 2019

Indeed, although many scholars and practitioners are interested in understanding how to motivate individuals to be more creative, whether and how rewards affect creativity remain unclear. Therefore, in this paperr we have examined how reward, motivation and creativity are moderated by the need for power. Specifically, the study examined how the anticipation of individually administered reward for knowledge or for skills (eg praise, recognition, reinforcement, awards, incentives, performance pay plans) was linked to the employee creative performance in the workplace with intrinsic motivation as a mediating variable of this relationship and the need for power as a moderating variable of the relationship between intrinsic motivation and creativity. Questionnaire as research instrument was used and was distributed to 301 employees from Zhongxing Telecommunication Equipment (ZTE), Baidu, Roche, along with other 6 enterprises was used. In total, 275 usable responses were analyzed through SPSS. Standard procedures were used to process and represent findings. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regressions were then applied to test the hypotheses. Findings – The study reaches three main conclusions. First, reward for knowledge and reward for skills are positively related to employee creativity. Second, intrinsic motivation mediates the relationship between reward for knowledge and for skills with creativity. Third the need for power moderates the relationship between the intrinsic motivation and employee’s creativity such that individuals with a high need for power will exhibit intrinsic motivation for a greater creativity when reward for knowledge or reward for skill is high.

Problem jest sformułowany jako zadanie rozpoznawania wzorców zachowania normalnego i zachowania nietypowego. Obydwa wzorce są określane przez wskazanie odpowiednich przykładów. Osobliwość rozwiązywanego zadania wynika z faktu, że zwykle liczebność przykładów jest dużo mniejsza od wymiaru wektora obserwacji. W artykule zostały przedstawione dwie metody detekcji anomalii bazujące na wyznaczaniu rzutów obserwacji na podprzestrzenie wzorców. Wyróżnikiem pierwszej metody jest wykorzystywanie odległości wektora obserwacji od podprzestrzeni wzorców. Druga metoda polega na przeniesieniu zadania rozpoznawania wzorców do podprzestrzeni wzorców.

ABSTRACT: The paper considers the issue of anomalies detection based on registered observations of a system behavior. The problem is formulated as recognition of normal and anomalous behavior patterns. Both types of patterns are identified by indication of appropriate examples. A peculiarity of this task is that usually the number of examples is far lower than the dimension of vectors describing the observations. Two methods to solve this task have been presented in the paper, based on projecting the observations on the subspace of examples. The first method is based on a distance of the observation vector from the subspace of examples. The second method is based on transferring the pattern recognition problem to the subspace of examples.

The contemporary media message can be perceived in two perspectives:
an active one, in which women perform a role of journalists and editors,
and a passive perspective, in which they become a part of media message.
The latter aspect is the most controversial for many reasons. Walter
Lippmann defines a stereotype as an image created in the mind which allows
a subordination of a certain fragment of reality a priori. The media’s
visible, negative influence on women has them create a reality beyond the
boundaries of acceptance, presenting it in a way the audience expects.
A new kind of feminism appears, i.e. one which answers the receiver’s
needs (succumbing to the expectations and exposing to the view), and
a question appears – whether in the time of the feminist legacy, thereby
changes resulting from the development of the media, feminists should
gain their own unique style? In a way this begins to happen.
Due to the development of the media, women gained an unrestricted
possibility to express their views, and the reception and availability of
the media lifts the restrictions and causes an inconspicuous person to
please and sweep the crowd and his or her voice to be impossible to be
ignored in the discourse.
ZAWOALOWANA I BEZPOŚREDNIA UWAGI O FEMINOŚWIATACH MARII PINIŃSKIEJ-BEREŚ I EWY PARTUM1
Authors: Kostołowski Andrzej
Published: January 2019

The proposals of art by the internationally known: Maria Pinińska-Bereś (1931–1999) and Ewa Partum (b. 1945) have been emerging since the 1960s and 1970s as the successive steps driving through the shell of masculine domination in art. Owing to the power and coherence of the liberation endeavours, both artists have worked out their own forms of creativity. Through the individuality of feminine approaches they manifested in their statements some sort of model message, and at the same time a uniqueness in the way of using artistic means of expression. For the sculpturess and “performeress” Pinińska-Bereś entangled in the multi- level dualism of the patriarchal domination and neo-avant-guarde freedom, the method depended on showing psychoanalytically filtered depths through the veiled object allusions. For the relatively early emancipated and direct in her strong performances conceptual artist, Ewa Partum, the fusion of corporal presence with critical ideas was, and still is, important.
Feministyczne gry z autobiografią
Authors: Janiak Edyta
Published: January 2019

The aim of the article is showing diverse ways of reception and description
of female autobiographies in the critical literary research. The author
devotes exceptional attention to the feminist researchers’ approach
to these texts and the reading strategies proposed by them. Tracing the
feminism – female autobiography relation makes it possible to perceive
mutual influences and observe evolution of the emerging discourse of the
feminist literary criticism.

Background: Dairy products are common sources of Listeria outbreaks, and early detection of the pathogen is critical to prevent outbreaks of illnesses and financial losses for dairy producers. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate Sample6 Detect HT/L for effective detection of Listeria monocytogenes and L. innocua in ice cream. Methods: Performance of the Sample6 DETECT HT/L was compared with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM) Chapter 10 method for detection of Listeria spp. in ice cream using an unpaired study design. Results: R2-enriched samples tested with Sample6 Detect HT/L performed as well as the reference method at all time points tested from 15 to 24 h. R2 is a proprietary blend for use with the test kit that helps with early detection. All the dPODC values (Sample6 Detect HT/L presumptive and confirmed results) equaled zero, indicating 100% concordance between the methods. Both Sample6 Detect HT/L and FDA BAM results showed low dPODC values, with confidence intervals indicating no significant differences between Sample6 Detect HT/L and reference method results. Conclusions: Sample6 Detect HT/L is suitable to detect Listeria spp. in ice cream, even with a 12 h enrichment. Sample6 Detect HT/L demonstrated equivalent detection of L. monocytogenes and L. innocua from R2-enriched samples as expected with 15 and 18 h enrichment when compared with the 24 h FDA BAM method for L. monocytogenes. Highlights: These results indicate that Sample6 Detect HT/L, primarily developed for environmental samples, can be used to detect Listeria spp. in ice cream with less incubation time, resulting in faster detection.
ORIGEM E TRANSFORMAÇÃO DOS NÚCLEOS URBANOS DAS CIDADES DE QUATÁ E PARAGUAÇU PAULISTA
Authors: Guimarães Marchezi Chaves Mariana , Maria Francisco Arlete
Published: January 2019

The implantation of the railroad in the state of São Paulo allowed the exploration and occupation of unpopulated areas. In the region of Alta Sorocabana, the railway gave rise to urban cores from its stations. This research studied two cities, Quatá and Paraguaçu Paulista, which emerged in this context and have common characteristics in its formation. The aim was to accomplish morphological analysis and understand the logic of the urban cores formation. The methodology was defined based on Panerai (2006) and Lamas (1993), focused on the study of the urban tissue and its forming elements, using bibliography and documentation available about the cities and fieldwork. It was concluded that these cities followed the standard in chessboard and was organized from the station and railway. It was observed that there was no aesthetics and urbanistic concern in these layouts implantation, whichare preserved, while the main modification was the esplanade occupation.
Kant on Scholarship and the Public Use of Reason
Authors: McQuillan J. Colin ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2019

In “An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment?,” Kant defines the public use of reason as “that use which someone makes of it as a scholar before the entire public of the world of readers.” Commentators rarely note Kant’s reference to “scholarship” in this passage and, when they do, they often disagree about its meaning and significance. This paper addresses those disagreements by exploring discussions of scholarship in Kant’s logic lectures as well as in later works like The Conflict of the Faculties. These sources suggest that Kant defends a rigorous conception of scholarship, which may not be consistent with liberal and egalitarian interpretations of the public use of reason. The paper concludes that Kant’s account of the public use of reason provides only a limited defense of freedoms of speech and of the press, which is neither as liberal nor as egalitarian as other commentators have suggested.

El presente artículo analiza las principales aportaciones de Adornoy Horkheimer al análisis de la cultura de masas. Tras repasar brevemente el legadode Walter Benjamin, en tanto que fuente de inspiración directa para la Dialécticade la Ilustración, revisamos las propuestas genuinas de los dos frankfurtianos.Desde su propuesta de la tan popularizada noción de «industria cultural», entendidacomo superestructura o sistema de dominación, hasta sus postulados de que laindustria de la cultura implica la construcción de un estilo único que reduciría,inevitablemente, la diversidad artística y la libertad creativa. El artículo terminaesbozando posibles críticas a los planteamientos frankfurtianos, aunque tambiénreconociendo la remarcable importancia de sus aportaciones.This article analyzes Adorno’s and Horkheimer’s main contributionsto the analysis of mass culture.
