Background
Radiological exposure associated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is unknown and might impact on broadening indications to lower risk patients. Radiological exposure of TAVI patients and its predictors are herein reported.

Methods
Radiological exposure derived from exams/procedures performed within 30 days preceding/following TAVI were acquired and converted into effective-dose. Total effective-dose was defined as the sum of each single dose derived from diagnostic/therapeutic sources. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed to recognize correlates of exposure.

Results
Seventy-five patients aged 82.6 ± 6.0 years with a median Euroscore II 3.6 [IQR 1.93–6.65] were analysed. Median total effective-dose was 41.39 mSv [IQR 27.93–60.88], with TAVI accounting for 47% of it. Age (coefficient −0.031, 95% CI −0.060 to −0.002; P = 0.031) and previous history of cerebrovascular accidents (CVA; coefficient −0.545; 95% CI −1.039 to −0.010; P = 0.046) resulted as inversely correlated to total effective-dose (log-transformed), whereas left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 50% (coefficient 0.430, 95% CI 0.031–0.828; P = 0.035) was directly associated.

Conclusion
Multiple radiological sources are responsible for the observed exposure, with TAVI being the prominent source. Age is inversely related to the radiological exposure.

Dengan sistem tersebut memungkinkan terjadinya pemisahan ruang privat berdasarkan jenis kelamin serta pengoptimalan pencahayaan dan penghawaan alami. Kata Kunci: modul, besaran ruang, tata ruang ABSTRACT. A simple residential building in densely populated settlements, generally, is a building that does not meet the requirement of a dwelling, not laying the house not only in terms of the area of each space in it but also in terms of comfort space that includes lighting, air conditioning and the arrangement of furniture within a room. The research method that has been used to find out the correlation between space and spatial layout of this simple house is a descriptive method, based on phenomena that occurred in the field. Module size of the house space is very simple which is relatively minimal demands the completion of its spatial design. With the module size of a very simple home space 3 x 3 m2 problem solving can be done to arrange space with a split-level system. With such an arrangement allows the separation of private areas by sex and optimization of natural lighting and air conditioning.Keywords: module, dimension of space, layout
John A. Macdonald, “the Chinese” and Racist State Formation in Canada
Authors: Stanley Timothy 
Published: July 2018

In 1885, John Alexander Macdonald took the right to vote away from men racialized as Chinese on the grounds that they were biologically different from “Canadians” and that their presence threatened “the Aryan character” of Canadian society. Through the 1885 Electoral Franchise Act, Macdonald was seeking to consolidate colonial expansion into the west by constituting the federal polity around the owners of private property, i.e., of land that had been converted from the collective control of Indigenous people. As elsewhere in the world, European colonialism in Canada involved taking control of Indigenous people’s territories and converting it to the private ownership of European colonizers. Making ownership of property the key to membership in the federal polity explains Macdonald’s initial support for giving the vote to women. It also explains why his legislation gave the vote to Indigenous people who met the property qualification. For Macdonald, ownership of private property was the final proof of an individual’s acculturation to colonial dominance. Property-owners from China, by contrast, threatened European dominance in British Columbia. Basing exclusion on alleged biological difference made it inescapable and permanent. The 1885 Act was thus a key moment in forming the racist state in Canada. Indeed, the strong opposition to Macdonald’s introduction of biological racism, including in the Canadian Senate on the part of his own appointees, underscores the significance of this change, one that would have consequences for racialized and excluded groups for many years to come
Surveillance Studies and Visual Art: An Examination of Jill Magid's Evidence Locker
Authors: Finn Jonathan 
Published: July 2018

It is now commonplace to refer to the contemporary world as a surveillance society. The tremendous proliferation of surveillance over the late twentieth and early twenty-first century has been met by a continually expanding body of scholarly work on the topic. However, such work remains largely based in the social sciences, specifically in the fields of sociology and criminology. While this work has been invaluable in many ways, it tends to emphasize empirical investigations of surveillance programs. By contrast, a growing body of work by artists and activists on surveillance questions the larger, more abstract issues associated with life in a surveillance society. The article examines Jill Magid’s Evidence Locker to argue that analyzing works of visual art not only complements the existing academic literature on surveillance, but that it raises distinctly new questions about citizens’ own roles and responsibilities in a surveillance society.
The Making of a Totalitarian Surveillance Machine: Surveillance in Turkey Under AKP Rule
Authors: Topak Ozgun 
Published: July 2018

This article examines surveillance initiatives under the AKP rule in Turkey (2002-present). The AKP had first tested and perfected surveillance methods, including wiretapping, internet surveillance and surveillance by collaborator-informant networks, over its key opponents and dissidents to capture the state apparatus and later applied similar methods to govern the entire society. In the aftermath of the 2013 Gezi protests, surveillance began to have a mass character, even though targeted surveillance practices continued. Fearful of another popular public revolt, the AKP established a mass surveillance mechanism and empowered it by new amendments to security and communication laws, to pre-empt and suppress public dissent. The recent state of emergency measures following the failed coup attempt in July 2016 represented a further drift towards totalitarian surveillance. The personal liberties were suspended and the state of exception became a permanent condition.
Security First: The New Right-Wing Government in Poland and its Policy towards Immigrants and Refugees
Authors: Klaus Witold 
Published: July 2018

The so called refugee crisis in 2015 coincided with the Polish parliamentary electoral campaign. The effect of it was – for the first time in Poland – the introduction of migration policy to the political agenda of the right-wing and populist political parties on a massive scale. They presented migration as an issue of security – both national and cultural, direct and symbolic. The new government, acting since the end of 2015, included immigration and asylum issues into their political programme as a key element of national security. Their discourse about refugees is usually based on the differentiation: us and them. And “them” are pictured as evil, dangerous, Muslim terrorists.
The new government and its authoritarian style of governing has introduced a number of initiatives designed to deprive individuals of immigrant rights (like in the new so-called Antiterrorist Act from the mid of 2016, based on which every foreign citizen could be put under surveillance without any court control) or to stop refugee influx on the Polish territory in any way – directly from their country of origin (new amendments to asylum law are trying to introduce border and accelerated procedures) or under the UE resettlement and relocation programme (Poland is one of 3 EU Member States – along Hungary and Austria – that hasn’t relocated anyone).
In this paper I will present in more detail the legal changes described above, their consequences and the so-called rationalities presented by the government.
From the Beginning: Children as Subjects and Agents of Surveillance
Authors: Marx Gary , Steeves Valerie 
Published: July 2018

This article examines the claims made by surveillance entrepreneurs selling surveillance to parents and government agencies responsible for children. Technologies examined include pre-natal testing, baby monitors and nanny cams, RFID-enabled clothing, GPS tracking devices, cell phones, home drug and semen tests, and surveillance toys. We argue that governments, both in the contest of health care and education, use surveillance to identify and “manage” genetic or behavioural deviations from the norm. Parents, on the other hand, are encouraged to buy surveillance technologies to keep the child “safe”. Although there is a secondary emphasis on parental convenience and freedom, surveillance is predominately offered as a necessary tool of responsible and loving parenting. Entrepreneurs also claim that parents cannot trust their children to behave in pro-social ways, and must resort to spying to overcome children’s tendency to lie and hide their bad behaviour. We conclude by offering some ideas to rein in the variety and complexity of the issues raised and to help order controversies in this domain.
Living Behind Glass Facades: Surveillance Culture and New Architecture
Authors: Steiner Henriette , Veel Kristin 
Published: July 2018

Transparent glass facades dominate much contemporary high– to mid–rise urban residential architecture. This article takes a closer look at life behind glass facades in contemporary surveillance culture. The aim is to illuminate how the material culture of contemporary architecture together with surveillance practices and technologies contribute to a remodelling our notions of the visible and the invisible. Whereas the architecture is determined by conditions and possibilities of what it means to be living behind glass facades, the novel Die 120 Tage von Berlin by the German author Lukas Hammerstein explores the complexities that this mode of living cause on a socio–psychological level. Through this dual track analytical strategy a complex set of connotations governing our understanding of visibility and invisibility will be uncovered.
Infeções do Trato Urinário da Comunidade da Ilha do Faial, Determinadas no Hospital da Horta EPER - 2016
Authors: Borges de Sousa Rui Pedro 
Published: July 2018

Introdução: A infeção do trato urinário (ITU) é uma das infeções mais frequentes a nível comunitário, apresentando custos mais elevados para a sociedade e para o sistema de saúde. A publicação de estudos de avaliação epidemiológica dos agentes etiológicos responsáveis pela ITU e o seu perfil de resistências antimicrobianas constitui uma mais-valia para a elaboração de critérios de decisão para antibiótico-terapia empírica, bem como para alertar os responsáveis na área da saúde no que respeita aos benefícios de uma prescrição correta dos antimicrobianos.
Material e Métodos: Estudo epidemiológico do tipo transversal, baseado nas uroculturas realizadas aos utentes externos do serviço de Patologia Clínica do Hospital da Horta EPER no ano de 2016. Sobre as uroculturas consideradas positivas foram analisados parâmetros como a idade, sexo, tipo de bactéria e perfil de suscetibilidade a antimicrobianos. Foram excluídos do estudo todos os registos com dados insuficientes para análise, bem como todos os pedidos de uroculturas em duplicado e do mesmo paciente num prazo inferior a 7 dias. Todos os dados utilizados foram disponibilizados pelo Serviço de Patologia Clínica do Hospital da Horta EPER.
Resultados: Maior prevalência de uroculturas positivas nas mulheres comparativamente com os homens. Nas mulheres tendência bi-modal com primeiro pico a ocorrer na faixa etária dos 30 aos 39 anos, o segundo pico (mais elevado) na faixa dos 70 aos 79 anos. Nos homens, a tendência de aumento ocorre a partir da faixa etária dos 50 aos 59; a frequência das bactérias isoladas entre sexos é diferente. Predomínio da Escherichia coli como principal causadora de ITU, na mulher é mais alta do que no homem. A segunda e terceira bactéria mais frequentes foram a Klebsiella p. pneumoniae e Proteus mirabilis respetivamente, com maior frequência no homem do que na mulher em ambos os casos; maior frequência de beta lactamases de espectro estendido ocorre no homem; o estudo do perfil antimicrobiano nas estirpes de Escherichia coli apresentou elevada sensibilidade à fosfomicina (> 95%) e nitrofurantoína (> 95%). O timetroprim/sulfametoxazol e as fluoroquinolonas apresentaram resistências elevadas, (próxima dos 20%). A amoxicilina e amoxicilina/ácido clavulânico com resistências muito mais elevadas quando comparadas com a fosfomicina e nitrofurantoína. Excluindo a cefalotina, no grupo das cefalosporinas existe alguma heterogeneidade, mas com sensibilidades sempre superiores a 80%.
Conclusão: Este tipo de estudos permite ajudar a determinar as linhas orientadoras para uma elaboração de antibiótico-terapia empírica.
Algunas notas sobre Putnam y la mecánica cuántica
Authors: García Sanz Javier 
Published: July 2018

Este artículo revisa las aportaciones más relevantes de Hilary Putnam a la interpretación
de la mecánica cuántica, en especial al llamado “problema de la medida”. Discutimos sus
ideas sobre la aparente no aplicabilidad de las reglas cuánticas al mundo macroscópico
y la aparición de la regla de Born, que determina la naturaleza probabilista del mundo
cuántico. Algunos de los estudios sobre lógica de Putnam son asimismo revisados
debido a su especial relevancia en el nuevo campo de la computación cuántica.
РОЛЬ ЕМОЦІЙНОГО ІНТЕЛЕКТУ В РОЗВИТКУ ЛІДЕРСЬКИХ ЯКОСТЕЙ ОСОБИСТОСТІ
Authors: Kasianova Svitlana 
Published: July 2018

У статті представлено результати емпіричного дослідження емоційного інтелекту та лідерських якостей слухачів соціономічних професій (безробітних, які проходять професійну перепідготовку). Установлено взаємозв’язки та визначено можливість їх розвитку в процесі навчання. Відзначено, що більшість респондентів має середні або низькі рівні розвитку емоційного інтелекту й лідерських якостей. Вони в основному володіють інформацією про природу емоцій та емоційних станів, можуть ставити себе на місце іншого й ураховують у процесі прийняття рішень почуття та емоції інших людей. Проте вони недостатньо мотивовані, їм складно управляти власними емоціями, не завжди самокритичні, їм важко самостійно й своєчасно приймати рішення.
Цілісна та систематична дія на розвиток емоційного інтелекту слухачів здійснена в рамках курсу «Розвиток емоційного інтелекту», метою якого було набуття практичних навиків розуміння, управління власними емоціями та емоціями інших людей. Установлено, що в досліджуваних після закінчення навчання значно збільшилися показники за шкалами «Емоційна поінформованість», «Управління своїми емоціями», «Самомотивація», «Емпатія», «Інтегративний рівень емоційного інтелекту», «Рівень лідерських якостей». Статистична обробка результатів підтвердила значущі розбіжності в середніх оцінках показників за цими шкалами. Це дало підставу зробити висновок про можливість їх розвитку в слухачів за допомогою спеціальних тренінгових занять у процесі професійної перепідготовки. Усі кореляційні зв’язки мають прямий характер, тобто чим вищий рівень розвитку емоційного інтелекту, тим більш виражені лідерські якості. Найбільш сильно на розвиток лідерських якостей впливають такі складники емоційного інтелекту, як «Управління своїми емоціями», «Самомотивація», «Роз­пізнавання емоцій інших людей, «Інтегративний емоційний інтелект» (установлено позитивні тісні зв’язки).
Перспективами дослідження вважаємо розроблення та впровадження тренінгових програм щодо розвитку емоційного інтелекту й лідерських якостей для слухачів (безробітних), які б спряли їхньому успішному працевлаштуванню.

Analisis Manajemen Pengaduan Sistem Layanan Sistem Aspirasi Pengaduan Online Rakyat (LAPOR) di Kota Bandung
Authors: Mursalim Siti Widharetno 
Published: July 2018

Pengaduan masyarakat penting bagi pemerintah untuk melihat seberapa besar keberhasilan dalam melaksanakan kegiatan. Pengaduan masyarakat merupakan elemen penting bagi instansi daerah, karena pengaduan bertujuan memperbaiki kekurangan dari kegiatan yang sudah dilaksanakan. Pengaduan masyarakat di Kota Bandung belum sepenuhnya tersosialisasikan, sehingga masyarakat bingung bila akan melakukan pengaduan, meskipun sistem Layanan Aspirasi Pengaduan Online Rakyat (LAPOR!) telah diluncurkan tetapi tidak banyak orang yang mengetahui, dan ada beberapa fitur yang memang tidak dimengerti oleh masyarakat ataupun tidak mempermudah pelaksanaan kerja yang dilakukan oleh staf LAPOR!. Pengaduan terbanyak di Kota Bandung didominasi oleh masalah keluhan mengenai infrastruktur, lingkungan hidup dan penanggulangan bencana, reformasi birokrasi dan tata kelola, administrasi kependudukan dan beberapa masalah lainnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis pengelolaan pengaduan masyarakat di Kota Bandung. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini pendekatan kualitatif. Dengan menggunakan teori manajemen pengaduan (komplain) berdasarkan pada teori Tjiptono yaitu: Komitmen, Visible, Accessible, Kesederhanaan, Kecepatan, Fairness, Confidential, Records, Sumber daya dan Remedy. Hal yang diharapkan dari hasil penelitian ini adalah sistem LAPOR! ini menjadi jembatan untuk menghubungkan keluhan dan aspirasi masyarakat dengan instansi terkait, sehingga permasalahan yang diutarakan dapat disampaikan dan mendapatkan penanganan yang cepat dan tepat.
