Two Mechanisms Determine Quantum Dot Blinking
Authors: Yuan Gangcheng , Gomez Daniel E. , Kirkwood Nicholas , BOLDT KLAUS , Mulvaney Paul 
Published: May 2018

Many potential applications of quantum dots (QDs) can only be realized once the luminescence from single nanocrystals is understood. These applications include the development of quantum logic devices, single photon sources, long-life LEDs, and single molecule biolabels. At the singlenanocrystal level, random fluctuations in the QD photo-luminescence (PL) occur, a phenomenon termed blinking. There are two competing models to explain this blinking: Auger recombination and surface trap induced recombination. Here we use lifetime scaling on core-shell NCs with close to unity quantum yield to demonstrate that both types of blinking occur in the same QDs. We prove that Auger-blinking can yield exponential on/off times in contrast to earlier work. The surface passivation strategy determines which blinking mechanism dominates. This study unifies earlier studies on blinking mechanisms and provides direct evidence that stable single QDs can be engineered for optoelectronic applications.

Depuis les années 1990, le décrochage scolaire est une préoccupation majeure du système scolaire français. Le Micro-Lycée de Sénart est un lycée expérimental destiné aux décrocheurs souhaitant reprendre leurs études. Y sont développés des pratiques pédagogiques innovantes prenant en compte le jeune en tant que personne pour lui permettre de construire un nouveau rapport aux apprentissages de savoirs émancipateurs. Cet article présente et analyse un dispositif co-construit par un sociologue et le professeur de philosophie et qui a pour objectif de favoriser la prise de parole et la réflexion philosophique sur le fait religieux, bien souvent empêchée dans un contexte politique marqué par une laïcité d’indifférence, voire de suspicion à l’égard des religions.Desde os anos 1990, a evasão escolar é uma grande preocupação do sistema escolar francês. O Micro-Lycée de Sénart é um colégio experimental destinado aos evadidos que desejam retomar seus estudos. Ali são desenvolvidas práticas pedagógicas inovadoras, levando em conta o jovem enquanto pessoa, permitindo-lhe construir uma nova relação com as aprendizagens de saberes emancipatórios. Este artigo apresenta e analisa um dispositivo feito em parceria por um sociólogo e pelo professor de filosofia, tendo como objetivo favorecer a tomada da palavra e a reflexão filosófica do fato religioso, frequentemente anulada em contexto político marcado pela laicidade de indiferença, diríamos mesmo de desconfiança em relação às religiões.

En France de jeunes adultes se voient proposer par la justice une formation professionnelle. Ultime proposition éducative du juge pour les inciter à s’insérer dans la société. Notre travail de recherche consiste à savoir ce qu’ils comprennent de cette formation, ce qu’ils en retiennent et comment ils reconfigurent ce qu’ils apprennent en fonction de ce qu’ils sont. Les entretiens en recherche biographique et leurs interprétations nous donnent la possibilité de comprendre le processus de formation à l’œuvre dans ce contexte particulier. Une partie délicate du travail de recherche réside dans la phase de recueil des données auprès de ce public, ce qui nécessite une approche singulière. C’est sur cet aspect que va porter notre article.

Electric motor is the type of motor that is most often used in everyday life. This is because the electric motor has several advantages that are not owned by a DC motor, which is simple construction and the price is quite cheap. However, if the motor is used continuously can experience heat or over heat, which can cause the motor to be damaged or burned. To overcome these problems required a system that can secure the motor from the heat that caused by the motor is often in use. This tool uses LM35 temperature sensor and is able to keep the motor always at its optimum temperature. In this system is also installed voltage sensors and current sensors to read the value of voltage and the current required by the motor. The value of temperature, current and voltage are displayed on LCD 2x16. In serial communication, initialization of baudrate on micro controller Atmega 328 is adjusted with baudrate computer, that is equal to 9600 bps. The system will provide a buzzer sound alert when the temperature reading is at 80.51ºC. Sensor LM35 function to read the temperature on the motor, when the motor is given a voltage source 220 V. At the time of the motor with a temperature of 31.74ºC up to 75.20 ºC motor in a safe state, but at temperatures above 80.51 º C motor in the state of overheating then there is a response from the micro controller to activate the relay so that the relay will break the voltage that flows on the motor and cause the motor to stop automatically, and buzzer gives a warning that the motor overheating. If this warning is allowed it can cause the motor to burn and will cause much greater repair costs.

Aproximación a elementos contemporáneos del consumo de drogas legales en adolescentes.
Authors: Espinosas Pire Lina Neri , González Salas Raúl , Vidal del Río Mercedes 
Published: May 2018

Las drogas son sustancias de origen natural o artificial cuyo consumo frecuente conduce a la necesidad progresiva de aumentar las dosis y a la exigencia esclavizante del consumo del fármaco cuyo uso irresponsable condiciona serios daños al individuo, a los familiares y a la sociedad. Tales sustancias pueden ser en legales, su consumo es aceptado en ocasiones por la ley, o ilegales, o sea no aceptados legalmente (cuyo consumo conduce a un delito). La droga más dañina conocida hasta hoy es el alcohol (consumido en forma irresponsable), ya que además de daños corporales determina lesiones psicológicas, sociales, culturales y espirituales, al afectar la conducta de la persona que lo ingiere. La educación y la información sobre todo a los jóvenes, en cuanto al tipo de sustancia que existen y los riesgos inherentes a su consumo es en varios países la mejor forma de prevenir y evitar el uso de semejantes drogas. Con la presente revisión se enuncian diversos aspectos de reflexión sobre un tema de actualidad que afecta una considerable proporción de la sociedad, por lo que reviste gran importancia la prevención del uso de las drogas legales (como el tabaco y el alcohol) que comienzan a ingerirse usualmente desde edades tempranas, y que actúan como precursoras para el desarrollo en la etapa adulta de enfermedades crónicas.

The Potential and Limitations  of Twitter Activism: Mapping the 2011 Libyan Uprising
Authors: Lindgren Simon 
Published: May 2018

This article aims to shed more light on the potentials and limitations of social media as a tool for activists. It does this by focusing on the use of one particular social media platform — Twitter — during one specific period of a certain uprising: the first 24 hours of protests in Libya during the Arab Spring in 2011. Even though this study is thus limited, it represents an important step in the direction of analyzing what actually happens when social media is put to use in relation to concrete events. The identified social network patterns, as well as the content of the posts, resonate with what Enzensberger (1970) calls “emancipatory use of media”: The architecture is decentralized, network connections are distributed, and mobilization and self-organization is going on. It must be realized however, that seeds of such emancipatory use does not necessarily preclude “repressive use of media”.
The 'Bollywoodization' of Popular Indian Visual Culture: A Critical Perspective
Authors: Kumar Keval Joseph 
Published: May 2018

The roots of popular visual culture of contemporary India can be traced to the mythological films which D. G. Phalke provided audiences during the decades of the ‘silent’ era (1912-1934). The ‘talkies era of the 1930s ushered in the ‘singing’ /musical genre which together with Phalke’s visual style, remains the hallmark of Bollywood cinema. The history of Indian cinema is replete with films made in other genres and styles (e.g. social realism, satires, comedies, fantasy, horror, stunt) in the numerous languages of the country; however, it’s the popular Hindi cinema (now generally termed ‘Bollywood’) that has dominated national Indian cinema and its audiovisual culture and hegemonized the entire film industry as well as other popular technology-based art forms including the press, radio, television, music, advertising, the worldwide web, the social media, and telecommunications media. The form and substance of these modern art forms, while adapting to the demands of the new media technologies, continued to be rooted in the visual arts and practices of folk and classical traditions of earlier times.
“A Real China” on User-Generated Videos? Audio-Visual Narratives of Confucianism
Authors: Hao Jianxiu 
Published: May 2018

Beneath the “Chinese successful story”, social stratification, class polarization, and cultural displacement have been accelerated. The Chinese Communist Party has not found a coherent solution to the challenges of reconciling social interests, since Communism has been more and more becoming mere “lip service”. However, it has been claimed that Confucian values can provide sources to dissolve the downsides of modernization in contemporary Chinese society. This study intends to investigate the revival of Confucianism, as a source for criticism and construction in Chinese socio-culture, as portrayed in user-generated videos which are produced/consumed by the largest Internet using population in the world, under the Chinese authoritarian regime which controls over communication. By means of a thematic audio-visual narrative analysis, this study has investigated 20 hours of Youku Paike videos published between 2007 and 2013. It has been detected: (1) about one third of the user-generated videos can be interpreted as Confucian thematic narratives; and there is a slightly increasing trend portraying Confucian values; (2) Confucianism can become a source for the formation of a new online socio-culture, in the circumstances of China’s modernization and cyberization, to advocate social actors’ cultivation and humanity’s flourishing.
Revisiting the Political Economy of Communication

Published: May 2018

This tripleC contribution is based on a research seminar that took place at the University of Westminster on January 22, 2014. It featured a conversation with Nicholas Garnham that was chaired by Christian Fuchs. We publish here both the audio-recording as well as a printed version, for which the audio version acted as foundation, but that was entirely re-written.The task of the paper and the seminar was to revisit some of Nicholas Garnham’s ideas, writings and contributions to the study of the Political Economy of Communication and to reflect on the concepts, history, current status and perspectives of this field and the broader study of political economy today. The topics covered include Raymond Williams’ cultural materialism, Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology of culture, the debate between Political Economy and Cultural Studies, information society theory, Karl Marx’s theory and the critique of capitalism.
Martin Heidegger’s Anti-Semitism: Philosophy of Technology and the Media in the Light of the "Black Notebooks". Implications for the Reception of Heidegger in Media and Communication Studies
Authors: Fuchs Christian 
Published: May 2018

“Heidegger is the petty bourgeois of German philosophy, the man who has placed on German philosophy his kitschy night-cap […] When I see that even super-intelligent people have been taken in by Heidegger, […] I feel sickened to this day. […] Heidegger used to hold court at Todtnauberg and at all times would allow himself to be admired on his philosophical Black Forest plinth like a sacred cow. […] They made their pilgramages, as it were, into the philosophical Black Forest, to the sacred Martin Heidegger and knelt down before their idol”--- Thomas BernhardAbstract:In spring 2014, three volumes of the Schwarze Hefte (Black Notebooks), Heidegger’s philosophical notebooks, were published in the German edition of his collected works. They contain notes taken in the years 1931-1941 and have resulted in public debates about the role of anti-Semitism in Heidegger’s thought.This article asks: What are and should be the implications of the publication of the Black Notebooks for the reception of Heidegger in the study, theory, and philosophy of media, communication, and technology? It discusses Theodor W. Adorno’s and Moishe Postone’s contributions to the critical theory of anti-Semitism and applies these approaches for an analysis of Heidegger’s Black Notebooks.The analysis shows that the logic of modern technology plays an important role in the Black Notebooks. The paper therefore also re-visits some of Heidegger’s writings on technology in light of the Black Notebooks. There is a logical link between the Black Notebooks' anti-Semitism and the analysis of technology in Being and Time and The Question Concerning Technology. The first publication provides the missing link and grounding for the second and the third.Heidegger’s works have had significant influence on studies of the media, communication, and the Internet. Given the anti-Semitism in the Black Notebooks, it is time that Heideggerians abandon Heidegger, and instead focus on alternative traditions of thought. It is now also the moment where scholars should consider stopping to eulogise and reference Heidegger when theorising and analysing the media, communication, culture, technology, digital media, and the Internet.Image source: By Willy Pragher (Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg) [CC BY-SA 3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], via Wikimedia Commons
3rd ICTs and Society Meeting; Paper Session - Inequalities: social, economic and political; Paper 2: Media conver-gence and blogging in exposing corruption and fraud in India
Authors: Murthy C.S.H.N. 
Published: May 2018

The divide between the poor and the rich in India is getting wider and deeper day by day in the post globalization and privatization. It also sounds paradoxical to hear that the development whatever is happening in India is preceded by large scale corruption where the politicians and the bureaucrats in tandem and in perfect collusion are siphoning off billions of rupees meant for the rural development. But, none of these projects could escape the brunt of corruption in India. The paper deals with a few such stories of corruption as case studies that came to limelight and are placed in ‘convergent’ media either in the blogs of television channels or print media or on line web-portals such as face-book/twitter or on You Tube. The paper hypothesizes that the current level of exposure of corruption in 24x7 ‘convergent’ media is not adequate and would like to explore the ways and means of utilizing it (convergent media) more ‘socially effectively’ to totally curb/eliminate the corruption from the top to the lower level in the governance in India. This study therefore follows multiple methods of inquiry, besides the case studies, including surfing the existing web-portals/blogs for the mobilized public views on exposure of corruption through the ‘convergent’ media and conducting interviews with the convenience sample of media experts in the field as also analyzing the secondary documents (for case studies). The study is therefore a descriptive and qualitative communication research.
Lightning may pose a danger to patients receiving deep brain stimulation: case report
Authors: Prezelj Neža , Trošt Maja , Georgiev Dejan , Flisar Dušan 
Published: May 2018

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established treatment option for advanced stages of Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. It is known that DBS is susceptible to strong electromagnetic fields (EMFs) that can be generated by various electrical devices at work, home, and in medical environments. EMFs can interfere with the proper functioning of implantable pulse generators (IPGs). Very strong EMFs can generate induction currents in implanted electrodes and even damage the brain. Manufacturers of DBS devices have issued a list of warnings on how to avoid this danger.Strong EMFs can result from natural forces as well. The authors present the case of a 66-year-old woman who was being treated with a rechargeable DBS system for neck dystonia when her apartment was struck by lightning. Domestic electronic devices that were operating during the event were burned and destroyed. The woman’s IPG switched off but remained undamaged, and she suffered no neurological consequences.
Health care utilization and overall costs based on opioid dependence in patients undergoing surgery for degenerative spondylolisthesis

Published: May 2018

OBJECTIVEOpioid abuse is highly prevalent in patients with back pain. The aim of this study was to identify health care utilization and overall costs associated with opioid dependence in patients undergoing surgery for degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS).METHODSThe authors queried the MarketScan database using ICD-9 and CPT-4 codes from 2000 to 2012. Opioid dependency was defined as having a diagnosis of opioid use disorder, having a prescription for opioid use disorder, or having 10 or more opioid prescriptions. Opioid dependency was evaluated in 12-month period leading to surgery and in the period 3–15 months following the procedure. Patients were segregated into 4 groups based on opioid dependence before and after surgery: group NDND (prior nondependent who remain nondependent), group NDD (prior nondependent who become dependent), group DND (prior dependent who become nondependent), and group DD (prior dependent who remain dependent). The outcomes of interest were discharge disposition, hospital length of stay (LOS), complications, and health care resource costs. The 4 groups were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test and linear contrasts built from generalized regression models.RESULTSA total of 10,708 patients were identified, with 81.57%, 3.58%, 8.54%, and 6.32% of patients in groups NDND, NDD, DND, and DD, respectively. In group DD, 96.31% of patients had decompression with fusion, compared with 93.59% in group NDND. Patients in group NDD, DND, and DD had longer hospital LOS compared with those in group NDND. Patients in group DD were less likely to be discharged home compared with those in group NDND (odds ratio 0.639, 95% confidence interval 0.52–0.785). At 3–15 months postdischarge, patients in group DD incurred 21% higher hospital readmission costs compared with those in group NDND. However, patients in groups NDD and DD were likely to incur 2.8 times the overall costs compared with patients in group NDND (p < 0.001) at 3–15 months after surgery (median overall payments: group NDD $20,033 and group DD $19,654, vs group NDND $7994).CONCLUSIONSPatients who continued to be opioid dependent or became opioid dependent following surgery for DS incurred significantly higher health care utilization and costs within 3 months and in the period 3–15 months after discharge from surgery.
