Thermal Actions on the Materials During Deck and Pavement Construction
Authors: Chmielewska B. , Garbacz A. , Adamczewski G. , Rymsza B. 
Published: May 2019

AbstractThe article presents the results of the research on thermal actions on the materials occurring in the cross section along the depth of the bridge deck and bituminous pavement during its construction. The impulse to curried out the research was the need to explain the causes of the blistering of bituminous waterproofing membranes and asphalt pavements often observed on the bridge decks. The paper presents the examples of such failures and the analyses of possible mechanisms of the phenomenon. Research indicates a significant influence of all technological processes on the temperature of materials in the cross section as well as daily temperature changes. The probability of initiation of reactions between concrete components with gaseous products has been confirmed in such conditions. The susceptibility of bituminous materials to gas emission and blistering is the subject of a separate study. The research was part of a research project carried out under the contract INNOTECHK3/IN3/50/229332 /NCBR /14 [13].
The Impact of the Magnitude of Overhead Costs on the Difference Between ABC and TDABC Systems
Authors: Tarzibashi Omar Fikrat Fateh , Ozyapici Hasan 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of the magnitude of overhead costs on the results of ABC and TDABC differences. A quantitative research method was used and data were gathered through an extensive literature review. A total of 170 articles that included both ABC and TDABC were found and 37 were used because only 37 articles included both the application of the systems and the comparison of the results of the systems. Correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to test whether there is a relationship between overhead costs and the differences in the results of ABC and TDABC systems. The results indicated that there is a statistically significant relationship between the total amount of overhead cost and the differences in the results of ABC and TDABC systems. Accordingly, when the overhead costs are increased, the TDABC system produces more different results than ABC. Based on this finding, the practical implication of this study seems to portray that companies with high overhead costs using the TDABC system rather than the ABC have the advantage of ascertaining product costing differently, which are more accurate.
A critical reflection on improving effective team communication
Authors: Yang Hua 
Published: May 2019

Abstract

Objective
This paper aims at critically reflecting on the author’s personal experience in the context of communication within a nursing team and exploring relevant existing constraints with a view to improving practice and achieving more effective outcomes in team communication.

Methods
Critical emancipatory reflection is used to evaluate and interpret the author’s practice. Smyth’s model serves as a framework to guide critical reflection step by step in this paper. Relevant theoretical perspectives help to make sense of the author’s performance in terms of team communication.

Results
It is identified via emancipatory reflection that the author endorses the ideas of equality, respect, trust, and collaboration, which were formed and established during the process of professional socialization. However, different constraints, such as sociocultural, historical, political, and personal factors, impede the author from performing more effectively in terms of team communication. Reconstruction provides the author opportunities to take actions to rectify constraints and avoid the reemergence of previous situations in the future.

Conclusions
Reflection is an effective way to gather knowledge and develop comprehensive understanding of practice. Alternative actions for effective team communication are recommended, including formulating ground rules for discussion, guiding nurses in the correct way, transforming conflicts within a team, being an active and reflective listener, and motivating nurses to actively create.

Published: May 2019

Abstract
In recent years, shortage of nurses, high turnover rate, low self-worth, and team instability have become increasingly serious. With the development of positive psychology, more and more nursing managers have begun to attach great importance to the mental health of nurses. Self-esteem, as one of the core indicators of individual mental health, has received extensive attention from researchers in different fields since its inception. This paper reviews and summarizes the research status and development trends of nurses’ self-esteem considering the aspects of self-esteem as a concept, assessment tools, significance, and intervention methods. At the same time, it also puts forward problems that need to be solved by undertaking research into nurses’ self-esteem, in order to provide a reference for further studies on nurses’ self-esteem.
Eosinophilic pancreatitis versus pancreatitis associated with eosinophilic gastroenteritis – a systematic review regarding clinical features and diagnosis
Authors: Pinte Larisa , Băicuș Cristian 
Published: May 2019

Abstract

Background. Over the past years, eosinophil infiltration involving the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas leading to eosinophilic pancreatitis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis and hypereosinophilic syndrome has been reported in the literature.
We aimed to analyze and compare the features involving patients with eosinophilic pancreatitis and pancreatitis associated with eosinophilic gastroenteritis and to determine if there is a connection between the two disorders or if they in fact meet the diagnostic criteria for hypereosinophilic syndrome.

Material and methods. The following search was performed in March 2019 on PubMed (MEDLINE) database using the medical terms “pancreatitis”, “eosinophilic pancreatitis”, “eosinophilic gastroenteritis” and “hypereosinophilic syndrome”.

Results. The search revealed 119 publications from 1970 onwards. A total of 83 papers were excluded, and the remaining 36 publications, consisting in case reports and case series, were analyzed. From 45 patients, 20 subjects with eosinophilic gastroenteritis developed pancreatitis, 20/45 had eosinophilic pancreatitis, and 5/45 hypereosinophilic syndrome involving the pancreas. There was no significant difference regarding clinical, laboratory and imaging features between the three groups, despite the multiple theories that explain the association of pancreatic and gastrointestinal eosinophilic infiltration. Although there was a strong resemblance between the three groups, histological evidence of eosinophilic gastrointestinal infiltration guided the treatment towards a less invasive way, while subjects with eosinophilic pancreatitis underwent pancreatic surgery to exclude potentially malignant lesions.

Conclusion. Although there are various theories that explain pancreatitis development in patients with eosinophilic gastroenteritis, hypereosinophilia diagnostic work-up should be taken into account in all patients with high number of blood eosinophils, even in those with eosinophilic pancreatitis in order to establish the diagnosis using a minimally invasive approach and to apply an adequate treatment.
Self-Efficacy Development among Students Enrolled in an Engineering Service-Learning Section
Authors: Dent Lauren , Maloney Patricia , Karp Tanja 
Published: May 2019

Service-learning presents exciting new ways for students to enhance their learning. Educators and scholars agree that service-learning is connected to self-efficacy, which affects student performance. This research tests the development of self-efficacy in students enrolled in service-learning and traditional sections of a first-year engineering course. Using a previously developed metric, the Engineering Skills Assessment (ESA), students enrolled in service-learning (SL) and “traditional” (non-SL) sections quantified self-efficacy on 11 skills previously deemed important for engineering. Student responses were compared between SL and non-SL students at the beginning and end of the semester. Analysis of the collected data using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) grouped self-efficacy ratings for the 11 skills into three meaningful constructs: (1) Job-related skills (2) Interpersonal skills and (3) Life skills. Mean self-efficacy scores were significantly better at the end of the course for non-SL students in all areas and for SL students in four of the 11 skills and two of the three constructs. Self-efficacy growth was significantly higher for non-SL students, which may be due to the Dunning-Kruger effect. However, similar percentages of both populations self-reported that their skills were improved at the end of the semester due to the class. This research also supports the use of the ESA as a reliable psychometric tool to evaluate student self-efficacy and its relationship to service-learning.
Case Report: Type 1 aortic dissection presenting as acute pericarditis: the roles of POCUS and transthoracic echocardiography
Authors: Ayach, MD, PhD Bill , Dhansay, MD Aadil , Morris, MD Andrew , Tam, MD James W. , Jassal, MD Davinder S. 
Published: May 2019

Clinical Presentation: A 59 year old male presented with a 1 day history of non-exertional chest pain that was pleuritic in nature and aggravated by lying flat. His chest pain symptoms were preceded by a one week history of “flu-like” symptoms. Physical exam demonstrated a blood pressure of 114/55 mmHg, heart rate of 75 bpm, and a normal oxygen saturation on room air. Cardiac examination revealed a biphasic pericardial rub vs. to-and-fro murmur. EKG demonstrated diffused ST-elevation and PR depression consistent with acute pericarditis. Laboratory findings revealed a normal WBC of 11.2×109/L and hsTnT of 78 ng/L. Imaging Findings: A point of care ultrasound (POCUS) assessment demonstrated mild aortic insufficiency with a dilated ascending aorta with no pericardial effusion or wall motion abnormalities. An expedited transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) confirmed a bicuspid aortic valve with moderate aortic insufficiency. The aortic root and ascending aorta were dilated at 50 and 52 mm, respectively. There was evidence of an aortic dissection flap prolapsing across the left ventricular outflow tract. A dissection flap was also visualized within the abdominal aorta consistent with a Type 1 aortic dissection. Computed tomography of the aorta confirmed the Type 1 aortic dissection and the patient underwent an urgent valve-sparing aortic root replacement procedure. Discussion Points: Despite a typical clinical presentation for acute pericarditis, any unexpected physical exam or laboratory findings should lead to a POCUS assessment. This case demonstrates a rare presentation of aortic dissection which could have been easily missed without a POCUS assessment. Here we propose an algorithm for a POCUS examination in setting of pleuritic chest pain consistent with pericarditis.
Cognitive Mapping of Geotechnical Practices as Cost Overrun Drivers in Highway Projects
Authors: Alolote Amadi  , Anthony Higham  
Published: May 2019

Cost overruns experienced in transportation infrastructure projects continues to remain an issue of wide scholarly interest throughout the developed and developing world. Adopting a geotechnical trajectory, this research investigates the cause of unusually high cost overruns experienced in highway projects, executed in the tropical wetland setting of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Using the case study research strategy, archival data is sourced along with sixteen interviews conducted within the three highway agencies responsible for infrastructure project delivery in the region. The qualitative data gathered was comprehensively analysed using deductive-inductive thematic analysis. The results of the analysis identified latent triggers such as non-adherence to geotechnical best practices, amidst a wide array of unanticipated social constructs, which festered in the practises of the highway agencies. The interplay of the emergent social constructs with the fundamental geotechnical triggers is cognitively mapped out, relaying the intricate web of the contextual dynamics, driving the unusually high level of cost overruns experienced in highway project delivery in the Niger Delta. The study submits that the phenomenon of cost overruns in highway projects is multi-hydra headed, driven by a complexity of technical and social variables, contextually specific to the practices of highway organisations.
OBRA SOBRE TRADUÇÃO TÉCNICA E CIENTÍFICA DE OLOHAN CONTRIBUI SOBREMANEIRA PARA DIFUNDIR O USO DA LÍNGUÍSTICA DE CORPUS NO ESTUDO E NA PRÁTICA DA TRADUÇÃO ESPECIALIZADA
Authors: Teixeira Elisa Duarte 
Published: May 2019

A tradução especializada parece estar, aos poucos, deixando de ser o patinho feio dos Estudos da Tradução, ainda que esteja longe de exibir a plumagem resplandecente dos cisnes, pelo menos no que toca à representatividade junto à produção acadêmica da área. O livro Scientific and Technical Translation, de Maeve Olohan, lançado no ano passado pela Routledge, faz parte da coleção Routledge Translation Guides, que conta apenas com mais um título até o momento, Literary Translation (WRIGHT, 2016). A obra vem somar-se aos raros livros que se dedicam especificamente à tradução técnica, tais como Pinchuck (1977), Azenha Júnior (1999), Kingscott (2002), Byrne (2006, 2012) e Rogers (2015), ou que combinam Tradução Técnica, Terminologia e Linguística de Corpus, como Pearson (1998) e Bowker & Pearson (2002), por exemplo.
Retos de la traducción del imaginario creole: negociar la distancia enunciativa entre texto original heterolingüe y traducción
Authors: GHIRIMOLDI María Eugenia 
Published: May 2019

Presentamos en este artículo uno de los aspectos que emergen del análisis de las traducciones de textos literarios heterolingües: la dimensión enunciativa del texto traducido[i]. Siguiendo a Suchet (2010), analizamos la postura del responsable del texto meta o segunda enunciación, y su relación con la instancia enunciativa primera del texto fuente. Nos ocupamos de la escritura de uno de los representantes de la literatura antillana contemporánea, Patrick Chamoiseau, en una de sus novelas galardonadas con el premio Goncourt el año de su publicación, 1992, Texaco, y su versión española de 1994, traducida por Emma Calatayud. Junto con Jean Bernabé y Raphaël Confiant, Chamoiseau es uno de los impulsores del movimiento de la Creolidad, que persigue la reivindicación de la identidad y del imaginario antillano. En este contexto, en una primera etapa, abordamos las representaciones de la escritura y del escritor en un campo literario en construcción, el valor simbólico de las lenguas de escritura, los fenómenos heterolingües del original y la gestión de la alteridad en la traducción. En una segunda etapa, analizamos la gestión de la distancia enunciativa entre ambos textos donde es posible distinguir diferentes modos de negociación. Para la confección del corpus seleccionamos algunos fragmentos representativos del imaginario creole martiniqueño como la sabiduría vegetal y las creencias mágico-religiosas. Nuestro objetivo es doble: (1) identificar el /los tipo/s de ethos que se manifiesta/n en el texto traducido y (2) poner a prueba una herramienta de análisis que parte de la práctica de la traducción y contribuye a su redefinición como espacio de transformación que se abre al Otro en múltiples direcciones.

[i] Este artículo se enmmarca dentro del proyecto de investigación “La construcción del ethos y el tratamiento de los culturemas en situación de contacto de lenguas: su articulación en el campo de la Traductología y la Didáctica de las lenguas-culturas extranjeras” (H770, 2016-2020).

This research examine the innovation of village government roles in tourism policy in Batu Municipality, Batu Municipality is one of the cities in Indonesia whose economic growth is dominated by the tourism sector. Economic growth during 2012-2016 Batu City's economy has shown a marked increase with an average of 6.95 percent but the poverty rate has not shown a significant decline with the number of more than 9,000 people since 2013 to 2016 and the gini ratio in 2015 was recorded at 0,36 points or up from the 2013 figure of 0.31 points. This indicates that the growth of the tourism sector has not been able to be felt by the entire community. this happens because the tourism sector is still dominated by large investors by building artificial tourism (artificial) which involves minimal society, therefore the city government of Batu develop a new approach by optimizing the role of village government in developing the policy village tourism and form of pokdarwis (kelompok sadar wisata (group of tourism awareness)). This research uses qualitative approach, case study research and interactive model analysis from Miles, Huberman and Saldana. The result of the analysis shows that the innovation of the role of village apparatus in developing the new community based tourism destination and the collaboration with pokdarwis has given a new form in tourism policy in Batu Town, the tourist villages developed at the village level are more successful in giving positive influence to the people's welfare as well able to involve massively society.

Our research extends the current
recruiting relevant studies by identifying how intrinsic (person-organization
ethical fit, P-O ethical fit) and extrinsic factors (pay level and perceived
corporate image) influence job choice decision solely and interactively. A 2×2
between-subjects experimental design was conducted with 210 graduating students
in Taiwan, and written scenarios were used to simulate a job choice
setting. These scenario cases are
related to hotels which focus on environmentally relative corporate social
responsibility (CSR) activities. The
results show a significant difference in job offer acceptance rates among job
seekers with diverse P-O ethical fit and the effect of P-O ethical fit on
perceived corporate image was partially supported. The following discussion and suggestion will
be made to provide ideas for recruiting management and it will also contribute

El individuo como objeto de amor en Plutarco
Authors: Ludueña Ezequiel 
Published: May 2019

<p>En 1973, en uno de sus célebres trabajos, Gregory Vlastos sostuvo que la doctrina erótica de Platón no admite como objeto central a la persona humana, sino sólo un objeto abstracto —la Idea de la Belleza— muy alejado de los seres de carne y hueso. Por eso, explica, “el afecto personal ocupa un tan bajo puesto en la scala amoris de Platón”. Resulta interesante atender a la forma en que Plutarco presenta la doctrina platónica del eros (erōs) en una de sus últimas obras, el diálogo Erótico, una suerte de “comentario” o reflexión sobre el Banquete de Platón. En 2001, John Rist señaló, a propósito de este punto, que para el Plutarco del Erótico, “la belleza que reside en los individuos humanos recuerda y —como el arco iris— refracta la belleza de la Forma (…) pero sólo después de la muerte podremos encontrar realmente esa Forma; mientras tanto debemos también recibir y deleitarnos en la bella propedéutica de los cuerpos hermosos”. El eros que sentimos por determinado individuo no exige una superación que implique dejar atrás esa “fase” en aras de un ascenso hacia la Belleza en sí. En el presente trabajo busco profundizar este punto. Para ello, primero resumo el recorrido del diálogo hasta llegar al pasaje en que Plutarco expone la ontología de la belleza individual, sobre el que Rist funda su interpretación. Luego, señalo algunas consecuencias prácticas de esa ontología destinadas a sostener la tesis de que el matrimonio, una relación estable con un único ser, lejos de ser un obstáculo para la práctica filosófica es un medio para llegar a ella. El punto culminante del camino de la Belleza es la relación con una persona en particular, y esa relación supone no una experiencia puntual, una suerte de experiencia mística, sino una continua búsqueda en una relación estable con otro ser humano.</p>
