Authors: Tombeng Marchel Thimoty , Rumayar Rickho Michael Elia 
Published: April 2018

Lampu listrik merupakan alat penerangan yang banyak digunakan semua kalangan. Lampu listrik yang digunakan untuk kebutuhan penerangan memiliki mekanisme pengontrolan yang sederhana, yaitu dengan cara menyambungkan lampu dengan sumber listrik melalu saklar lampu. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini menggunakan teknologi yang memanfaatkan gelombang otak untuk membantu kesulitan penyandang cacat kelumpuhan dalam mengontrol lampu. Dengan memanfaatkan teknologi EEG (electroencephalograph), gelombang otak dapat ditangkap dan diamplifikasi, dimana elektroda dilekatkan pada kulit kepala. ThinkGear ASIC Module (TGAM) merupakan modul yang berisi EEG sensor yang berfungsi untuk mengolah gelombang otak yang hanya dengan memanfaatkan dua elektroda saja yang diletakkan pada dahi pengguna sebagai penerima gelombang otak dan telinga pengguna sebagai penerima noise untuk membandingkan signal gelombang otak. TGAM menerima gelombang otak dan kemudian mengamplifikasinya. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode rekayasa perangkat lunak prototype yang merupakan salah satu teknik pendekatan dalam pembuatan perangkat lunak. Hasil amplifikasi gelombang otak dikirim melalui pin A0 pada mikrokontroler sehingga dapat digunakan dalam pemrograman mikrokontroler sebagai parameter yang akan menjadikannya perintah untuk mengontrol lampu. Keywords : EEG, Elektroda, TGAM, Mikrokontroler, Prototype, Pengontrolan Lampu.
Debt: The Sublimated Object of Capital
Authors: Flisfeder Matthew 
Published: April 2018

In psychoanalysis, a sublime object’ is one that signifies the transformation of a condition of impossibility into one of possibility. On the one hand, it represents a moment of internalized prohibition that transforms an impossibility into something possible: the sublime object turns the impossible sexual object, for example, into something that is prohibited, and therefore possible. On the other hand, a sublime object represents the objectification of a lack. Or, in other words, it is lack in object form; it is the objective correlative of nothingness itself. What better definition might we have for the role played by debt in capital, particularly in its financial stage? Debt is the sublimated object of capital in the sense that it is, itself, a pure nothing that attains object form. It is in its object form that this pure nothing makes possible the global expansion of capital and the class interests that pertain to the latter. Debt operates similarly to the Lacanian the sublime object as the objectcause of desire’. If we subtract this object from capitalist system we lose the system itself. Debt is in this sense the object that, on the other side of its normal’, everyday operation contains both a nugget of the truth of the system itself and the mechanism by which the capitalist system may be overthrown. Debt is the lack in the capitalist system that overlaps with the lack that is the exploited subject. In my paper, I use the Lacanian concept of the sublime object to demonstrate how debt represents the sublimated object of capital; and, as such, it is the central, universal cause that has the potential to open up a space for the interpellation of radical revolutionary subjectivity.
Fictitious Capital: London and the Financial Imagination
Authors: Calcutt Andrew 
Published: April 2018

The financial services sector enables capital to expand as it circulates. Accordingly, though it is highly profitable, the sector hardly contributes to the production of capital via the manufacture of commodities. Given that the circulation of capital can only be circuitous, activity undertaken by the financial services sector tends to perform likewise. The circles and spirals that characterize its activities are quite different, then, from the typical shape of the production process—the line. Furthermore, in places where financial services now dominate the local economy, this kind of circularity may also prevail over other areas of activity that are not primarily economic, for example, cultural activity. London is such a location. As a global city (its status confirmed by hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012), London’s dual role is to continue the worldwide circulation of capital and to maintain the circulation of meaning—functions fulfilled by financial services and cultural activity, respectively. But to maintain circulation is also to perform a mediating role. Financial circuits, for example, rely upon a variety of brokers whose financial products’ serve as mediating links between the previous transaction and the next. Just as financial circuits are comprised of these mediating links, so, to the extent that London as a whole has taken on this character, the city itself has acquired a mediating role. Accordingly, the people of London have become mediators, first and foremost, positioned, and repeatedly positioning themselves, between successive moments in a continuous process of circulation. Even when not performing this mediating role in a professional, paid-for capacity, many Londoners are constantly rehearsing for it via cellphones, social media and a remix culture which repackages and re-sends existing cultural artefacts, in much the same way that financial products’ are not originals so much as re-iterations of existing products and value, re-configured into selfexpanding forms. Unlike earlier iterations of this capital city (mercantile London; industrial London; imperial London), twenty-first century London is a matrix of finance and culture in which financial activity lends its characteristic shape to contemporary cultural activity.

BACKGROUND: The increasing number of patients with acquired brain injury and the current subjectivity of the conventional upper extremity (UE) assessment tests require new objective assessment techniques. OBJECTIVE: This research proposes a novel objective motor assessment (OMA) methodology based on the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA). The goals are to automatically calculate the objective scores (OSs) of FMA-UE movements (as well as a global OS) and to interpret the estimated OSs. METHODS: Fifteen patients participated in the study. The OMA algorithm was designed to detect small-scale variations in UE movements. The OSs for 14 FMA-UE movements and the global OSs were automatically calculated using the algorithm and evaluated by 2 therapists. The interpretation of the global OSs was performed at 3 levels: by item, movement and globally. RESULTS: The global OSs calculated by our algorithm had a significant correlation with the therapists’ scores (0.783 and 0.938, p <  0.01). All OSs for each movement were correlated with the scores given by the therapists. The correlation coefficient can reach values as high as 0.981 ( p <  0.01). CONCLUSIONS: We provide a new objective assessment tool for therapists to help them improve the diagnostic accuracy and to achieve a more personalized and potentially effective physical rehabilitation of brain injury patients.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of gait training with virtual reality (VR) on walking distance and physical fitness in individuals with Parkinson’s Disease (PD). METHODS: Thirty-seven individuals with PD participated in this prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial. They were randomly allocated to a control group submitted to conventional training ( n = 12), a treadmill group submitted to gait training on a treadmill ( n = 13) and a VR group submitted to gait training using the XboxTM ( n = 12). Clinical measures, gait variables and the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) were evaluated: pre-intervention, after one intervention session, post-intervention and follow up (30 days after intervention). RESULTS: The VR and treadmill groups travelled longer distances on the 6MWT and had faster gait speed in comparison to the control group. The VR and treadmill groups demonstrated an increase in pre-6MWT HR. The VR group had more intense HR after the first session and throughout training, but these gains were not maintained at the follow-up. CONCLUSION: The present findings demonstrate that gait training with a VR program is as effective as treadmill training with regard to gains in walking distance and improvements in temporal gait variables in individuals with PD.
Immersive virtual reality in traumatic brain injury rehabilitation: A literature review
Authors: Aida Jared , Chau Brian , Dunn Justin 
Published: April 2018

BACKGROUND: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States with its sequelae often affecting individuals long after the initial injury. Innovations in virtual reality (VR) technology may offer potential therapy options in the recovery from such injuries. However, there is currently no consensus regarding the efficacy of VR in the setting of TBI rehabilitation. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this review is to evaluate and summarize the current literature regarding immersive VR in the rehabilitation of those with TBI. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search was conducted utilizing PubMed, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Review using the search terms “virtual reality,” “traumatic brain injury,” “brain injury,” and “immersive.” RESULTS: A total of 11 studies were evaluated. These were primarily of low-level evidence, with the exception of two randomized, controlled trials. 10 of 11 studies demonstrated improvement with VR therapy. VR was most frequently used to address gait or cognitive deficits. CONCLUSIONS: While the current literature generally offers support for the use of VR in TBI recovery, there is a paucity of strong evidence to support its widespread use. The increasing availability of immersive VR technology offers the potential for engaging therapy in TBI rehabilitation, but its utility remains uncertain given the limited studies available at this time.
La moralité publique comme exception : l’apport potentiel des enseignements de la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme pour une interprétation renouvelée au sein de l’Organisation mondiale du commerce
Authors: Plouffe-Malette Kristine 
Published: April 2018

Depuis 1995, des membres se sont régulièrement joints à l’Organisation mondiale du commerce, formant ainsi une mosaïque complexe d’États hétérogènes qui comprend une variété de cultures, de religions, de pratiques et de coutumes. Cette diversité croissante pose plusieurs défis importants, particulièrement quant à la possibilité de limiter le commerce en raison des préoccupations citoyennes qui émanent de tous les membres. Comment un État peut-il répondre aux demandes formulées par sa population tout en respectant ses engagements en faveur des autres membres ? L’exception de moralité publique a consisté en une réponse, laquelle a été étudiée à quatre reprises par les organes quasi juridictionnels de l’OMC. Si les quatre mesures défendues ont été reconnues comme relevant de l’ordre de la moralité publique, aucune n’a pu franchir la totalité des tests commerciaux et être entièrement justifiée. Les lacunes et les interrogations relatives à l’interprétation de cette exception, tout comme le nouvel engouement qu’elle suscite, méritent que l’on s’y attarde. Pour ce faire, cet article propose de revisiter l’exception de moralité publique à la hauteur de la jurisprudence de la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme qui, elle aussi, interprète l’expression de la moralité publique, et ce depuis plus de quarante ans. Elle a su, au travers de sa jurisprudence, développer une approche unilatérale de la norme morale et inscrire la nécessité d’une telle ingérence dans l’exercice et la jouissance des droits et libertés dans une perspective consensuelle. Il est posé comme postulat que les organes quasi juridictionnels de l’OMC pourraient faire de même, et ce dans le but de respecter la nature de la norme.
Le (néo)normativisme, constructivisme inachevé
Authors: Doray Marc 
Published: April 2018

Les thèses (néo)normativistes de Kelsen et ses épigones sont ancrées dans la mouvance positiviste de la théorie juridique, mouvance héritière du positivisme philosophique selon lequel la science serait distincte de son objet. Le droit constituerait ainsi un « donné ». Toutefois, les éléments fondamentaux de l’édifice (néo)normativiste (catégorie de l’imputation, hiérarchie des normes, validité formelle) donnent à voir un droit non pas « donné », mais « construit » par la science juridique ; ils ne permettent pas en outre de démontrer l’existence même du droit. De fait, l’idée kelsénienne d’une inférence entre les normes, pourtant mise en échec par les présupposés normativistes adoptés (loi de Hume), reste au cœur des construits théoriques néo-normativistes. Aux fondements de cette fragilité, un projet commun : faire du droit un objet scientifique spécifique caractérisé par son unité. Cette dernière opération recèle une interaction profonde entre l’observateur scientifique et son objet, caractéristique d’un constructivisme, certes scientifique. Mais d’un constructivisme qui, trop radical au regard d’un objet complexe, paraît bien inachevé.
Completeness of the Road-to-Health Booklet and Road-to-Health Card: Results of cross-sectional surveillance at a provincial tertiary hospital
Authors: Naidoo Harishia , Avenant Theunis , Goga Ameena 
Published: April 2018

Background: Accurate record-keeping is important for continuity and quality of care. Completing a child’s Road-to-Health Booklet (RTHB), or the older, less detailed, Road-to-Health Card/Chart (RTHC), immediate interpretation thereof and appropriate action facilitates comprehensive care, which could contribute to a decline in child morbidity and mortality.Objective: This study aimed to assess the extent to which healthcare personnel working in catchment clinics of Kalafong Provincial Tertiary Hospital (KPTH), Tshwane district, South Africa, complete HIV-related, sociodemographic, neonatal, growth and immunisation information in the RTHC and/or RTHB.Methods: A cross-sectional, quantitative record review was conducted. Data were extracted from 318 RTHCs and/or RTHBs of children attending KPTH for paediatric care. Data extraction focused on six main areas, namely documentation of HIV-related, neonatal, sociodemographic, anthropometric, immunisation and vitamin A-related information. During data analysis, age-appropriate completeness scores were generated for each area and completeness of documentation in the RTHB and RTHC was assessed.Results: Data demonstrate significantly less unrecorded HIV-related information (maternal HIV status, timing of maternal HIV testing, timing of maternal antiretroviral therapy [ART] initiation, current maternal ART use and infant feeding decisions) in RTHBs compared with RTHCs (p < 001). Despite this, 24% of all RTHBs had no record of maternal HIV status and 67% of RTHBs from documented HIV-exposed infants had no record of maternal ART duration. Neonatal information completeness was similar between RTHBs and RTHCs, but socio-demographic completeness was significantly better in RTHBs compared with RTHCs (p = 0.006). Growth (especially weight), immunisation and vitamin A completeness was > 80% and similar between RTHBs and RTHCs. Length-for-age, weight-for-length and head circumference were plotted in < 5% of RTHBs and none of the RTHCs.Conclusion: Although completeness of key HIV-related information was better in RTHBs compared with RTHCs, RTHB completeness was suboptimal. Healthcare personnel need reminders to utilise the RTHB optimally to improve continuity and quality of child healthcare.
A continuum model of interlocking structural systems
Authors: Brocato Maurizio 
Published: April 2018

Masonry systems made of interlocking square-cut stones have long been studied by mathematicians and architects. It so happens that, under appropriate boundary conditions, ashlars interlock, and a stable structure results. Recently, the idea that new masonry-like materials can be designed on the basis of this archetypal principle has been put forward and applications have been proposed under the name of topological interlocking materials.
In this paper, a mathematical model is proposed, that describes these materials as a special class of continua with microstructure. The system is viewed as a continuous body, the material elements of which are ashlar blocks endowed with an interaction structure based, to within certain approximations, on their interlocking geometry. The case of rigid ashlars with purely plastic interactions is developed in detail.

La simplicidad en el diseño de marcas gráficas: análisis de la preferencia
Authors: Suárez-Carballo Fernando , Galindo-Rubio Fernando , Martín-Sanromán J. Ramón 
Published: April 2018

Un gran número de autores y profesionales alude a la simplicidad como uno de los atributos fundamentales en la definición del buen diseño; sin embargo, cabe preguntarse por la percepción del público ante este rasgo visual. A partir de una experiencia piloto previa, el presente estudio busca analizar la respuesta del destinatario ante la simplicidad o la complejidad -su técnica opuesta- en el ámbito de la identidad visual, concretamente. La investigación realiza una descripción previa de ambos conceptos mediante cinco variables y recurre al índice de Preferencia como herramienta para evaluar la reacción del receptor. Siguiendo este modelo, y mediante la valoración del rediseño de 30 identificadores reales por parte de 1304 participantes, el trabajo concluye que existe una significativa inclinación hacia la simplicidad, que se incrementa notablemente en la medida en que el vínculo del sujeto con el diseño gráfico (en cuanto a perfil profesional, formación y conocimientos) es más estrecho.
Trayectorias laborales y competencias de empleabilidad de jóvenes nacionales e inmigrantes en riesgo de exclusión social
Authors: Santana Vega Lidia E. , Alonso Bello Estefanía , Feliciano García Luis 
Published: April 2018

Los jóvenes en situación de riesgo de exclusión presentan trayectorias atípicas en las que tienen que hacer frente a la exclusión y la marginación; de ahí la necesidad de que adquieran competencias para la empleabilidad. La adquisición de tales competencias facilitará a estos jóvenes la obtención y mantenimiento de un empleo y les abrirá las puertas al aprendizaje permanente. Los objetivos del trabajo son: a) analizar las competencias de empleabilidad de los jóvenes nacionales e inmigrantes que salen del sistema público de protección y b) comparar sus trayectorias laborales. Se realizó un estudio de casos múltiples en el que participaron cuatro jóvenes nacionales y cuatro jóvenes inmigrantes subsaharianos no acompañados en riesgo de exclusión, los tutores de sus centros y los empresarios que tutorizaron sus prácticas profesionales. La selección de los casos tuvo en cuenta tres criterios: 1) haber estado acogido al sistema de protección, 2) haber estado un mínimo de 6 meses en un programa de inserción laboral y 3) tener entre16-25 años. Los datos del estudio fueron obtenidos mediante técnicas e instrumentos cualitativos y cuantitativos. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que los jóvenes inmigrantes: a) elaboran proyectos de vida más claros y reales que los jóvenes nacionales; b) finalizan su programa de inserción sociolaboral con un mayor nivel de competencias de empleabilidad; c) afrontan su transición a la vida adulta con una mejor formación. Según los datos de la investigación, los jóvenes inmigrantes afrontan de forma más exitosa la transición a la vida adulta que los jóvenes nacionales. En el artículo se discute la necesidad de trabajar sobre los objetivos del proyecto de vida de los jóvenes en riesgo de exclusión, sus redes de apoyo y sus competencias de empleabilidad para ir consolidando sus trayectorias laborales.
Estilos motivacionales y expectativas educativas en las familias inmigrantes: un análisis basado en el estudio de casos de familias inmigrantes de origen dominicano
Authors: Alcalde Rosalina , Hernández Ramona 
Published: April 2018

Este artículo se centra en el análisis de los estilos motivacionales hacia el estudio que desarrollan un grupo de madres inmigrantes dominicanas con experiencias de separación y reunificación familiar y residentes en la ciudad de Nueva York y Barcelona. Se estudia si la motivación está orientada hacia el aprendizaje, es decir, al placer por aprender, o hacia el logro, fundamentalmente expresado por la acreditación universitaria y la mejora social. Consideramos que esta análisis puede ayudar a comprender la relación entre motivación y rendimiento escolar en contextos familiares de inmigración.Desde una metodología cualitativa basada en el estudio de casos, se analizaron 14 familias, en las que se entrevistaron a la madre y a uno de sus descendientes. Lo que dio como resultado 28 entrevistas semiestructuradas. El análisis demuestra la prevalencia de estilos motivacionales orientados a metas de logro, lo que podría ser interpretado como un obstáculo para el rendimiento académico de los jóvenes de origen dominicano, dado que este tipo de motivación correlaciona mucho menos con el éxito escolar. No obstante, el análisis cualitativo revela una fuerte influencia de las expectativas educativas y sociales de las madres en las formas de motivación hacia el estudio y en el autoconcepto como estudiante. Elementos por otra parte directamente relacionados con el éxito escolar y podría paliar el efecto negativo de una baja motivación por el aprendizaje.
