Emergence and Self-Organisation of Complex Systems: the role of energy flows and information a philosophical approach
Authors: Fenzl Norbert 
Published: March 2018

How order emerges from noise? How higher complexity arises from lower complexity? For what reason a certain number of open systems start interacting in a coherent way, producing new structures, building up cohesion and new structural boundaries? To answer these questions we need to precise the concepts we use to describe open and complex systems and the basic driving forces of self-organization. We assume that self-organization processes are related to the flow and throughput of Energy and Matter and the production of system-specific Information. These two processes are intimately linked together: Energy and Material flows are the fundamental carriers of signs, which are processed by the internal structure of the system to produce system-specific structural Information (Is). So far, the present theoretical reflections are focused on the emergence of open systems and on the role of Energy Flows and Information in a self-organizing process. Based on the assumption that Energy, Mass and Information are intrinsically linked together and are fundamental aspects of the Universe, we discuss how they might be related to each other and how they are able to produce the emergence of new structures and systems.

Published: March 2018

Introduction. Novel approaches to wound healing can provide decreased risk of complications, wider possibilities of further treatment, rehabilitation and care, and improved patient’s quality of life. Most recent studies support the concept that HBOT accelerates the wound healing process. Aim. This paper aims at presentation and discussion the outcomes of a research on chronic wounds healing using the HBOT. Particular attention was paid to changes of wound dimensions and pain assessment in response to HBOT.Material and Methods. Inclusion criteria meet the medical records of eighty-nine adult patients with chronic wounds aged 18–85 years treated with HBOT. Wound length, wound width and pain were measured twice: before and after treatment.Results. There have been observed favourable and statistically significant changes in all measured areas: pain assessment, wound length, and wound width. Improvement of pain assessment occured in 94.38% of patients, improvement of maximal wound length occurred in 94.38% of patients, improvement of maximal wound width occurred in 86.52% of patients.Conclusions. Application HBOT in adult patients with chronic wound is an effective method of treatment. Age above 62 years, sex (men), lack of obesity, and number of HBOT sessions higher than 29 can be regarded as useful prognostic signs, however there is need for further research.

Published: March 2018

Introduction and objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of treatment on the quality of life (QoL) in postmenopausal women characterized by the reduced BMD.Material and methods: Postmenopausal women (n=102), mean age (65.09±5.6 years) were included in this study. The participants were divided into two groups, depending on the treatment or lack of treatment. For assessment of their QoL, QUALEFFO-41 scale and WHOQOL-100 scale were used.Results: Mean values of the QUALEFFO-41 scale of women who used alendronate were significantly lower than those found in subjects not treated with this drug in the following areas: pain (p=0.03), ADL (p=0.03), jobs around the house (p=0.01), mobility (p=0.01), health perception (p=0.03), emotional function (p= 0.007) and total QoL (p=0.005). The mean values of the WHOQOL-100 scale almost did not differ significantly between both groups of studied patients. An exception was the level of independence, with mean values of women not receiving bisphosphonates being significantly higher than those of patients using bisphosphonates therapy (p=0.04).Conclusions. Quality of life assessment of women with osteoporosis and osteopenia using a specific scale and general scale can be a valuable clue in the planning of treatment, nursing care and psychological care.

Published: March 2018

Introduction. Ability to gather and process medical data serves as a basic tool of doctor’s work, which can be improved by applying communication protocols. In most cases, however, instructions presented by such models are too general and do not take into account patients’ preferences. Material and Methods. The study was carried out in the form of an electronic questionairre sent to a randomly chosen group of adult patients (N = 967). It consisted of close-ended questions about the quality of communication skills of family practitioners and specialists working at outpatient clinics and health centers. Results. Only 21% of patients claimed that the appointment started on time. 51% mentioned disruptions during the meeting, mainly by a third party (34%). A considerable majority of physicians carried out the interview in a manner that was understood by patients, nevertheless 56.6% of the respondents felt underinformed as far as the nature of their illness was concerned – these objections were mostly expressed by patients suffering from chronic diseases. Conclusions. Our research shows that a proper organization of work as well as observing the principles of appropriate clinical communication can facilitate doctors’ performance, and thus increase both the level of patients’ satisfaction and the quality of medical services.

Abstraksi : Publikasi merupakan sarana untuk menyampaikan informasi yang diharapkan mampu memberikan kontribusi positif bagi pengembangan wawasan ilmiah bagi seseorang. Dalam perguruan tinggi publikasi ilmiah bisa berbentuk majalah, jurnal, ataupun koleksi digital berupa e-journal dan e-book yang saat ini sudah menjadi kebutuhan yang tak terbantahkan untuk digunakan bagi pendukung proses belajar mengajar ataupun sebagai kegiatan proses kreatif segenap civitas akademika untuk memunculkan ide ide segar sebagai pendukung penelitian. Maka tidaklah mengherankan apabila perpustakaan sebagai perpustakaa riset dengan menyediakan publikasi ilmiah yang menyediakan beragam informasi . Dalam perkembangan selanjutnya muncul koleksi repository yang lebih mengkhususkan diri untuk mengelola dokumen yang dihasilkan oleh sebuah instansi dalam hal ini perguruan tinggi dengan sebutan literature kelabu (grey literature) yang dapat berupa dokumen yang khas dan , buku-buku yang jarang didapatkan di pasar buku dan juga dokumen yang sering disebut local content. Publikasi local content ini saat ini menjadi salah satu ukuran tolok ukur akreditasi perguruan tinggi sehingga semakin mengokohkan publikasi ilmiah sebagai salah satu instrument penilaian akreditasi perguruan tinggi. ABSTRACT: Publication is a means to convey information that is expected to contribute positively to the development of scientific insight for a person. In college, scientific publications can be in the form of magazines, journals, or digital collections such as e-journals and e-books that are now an indispensable requirement to be used for teaching and learning process support or as creative activities of the entire academic community to generate ideas Fresh as research supporters. So it is not surprising if the library as a library of research by providing scientific publications that provide a variety of information. In subsequent developments appears more specialized repository collection to manage documents produced by an institution in this college with a literature gray literature that can be a typical document and, the books are rarely found in the book market and also Documents that are often called local content. This local content publication is now one of the benchmarks of college accreditation so that it becomes more and more solidifies the scientific publication as one of the accreditation assessment instruments of universities.

The twitter provides a kind of relation between users in specific form. When someone follow others, it doesn’t mean that she/he know well about them. We have defined a friend relationship between users in twitter as connection following and follower between two users. Based on this definition we develop a system to get friends and also friends of friends relation from a specific user. We use twitter API to get following and follower list and then construct a graph that represent a social network between those users. From this graph, we analyse the centrality using SNA (Social Network Analysis) method, i.e. closeness and betweeness. We propose to use these methods in order to find out who is the most influence user in the his/her social network to spread out the tweet or information. With this system, user can know about their social network based on their friend list on twitter. Kata Kunci : Social Network Analysis, Betweenness Centrality, Closeness Centrality

In a learning environment, emotional factors influence student motivation. Students emotion have an important role in students' capability to learn. The tendency of the students emotion are not easily recognizable in a short time. Twitter is a popular micro-blogging system especially for students. Students post tweet about activities, experiences, their feelings anywhere, anytime and in real time. Sentiment analysis on twitter produce content sentiment that represents the feelings and emotions of students. Sentiment analysis system was built using backpropagation method at the stage of classification. In this research backpropagation network and the classification results were tested using WEKA with multilayer perceptron classifier. The results of sentiment analysis with 30 student respondents are 33.33% tendency of positive emotions, neutral emotions tendency 53.33% and 13:33% negative motional tendencies. The results are used as reference in providing the appropriate treatment of the students during the process of learning.

Investigating the effects of precipitation on drought in the Hanjiang River Basin using SPI
Authors: Liu Hai , Wu Jing , Xu Yanqing 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
The Hanjiang River Basin serves as the water source for the Middle Route South-to-North Water Delivery Project. Droughts are not uncommon in this region and have affected the water supply directly. This study is designed to gain more in-depth knowledge of spatial and temporal drought variations in the Hanjiang River Basin, and the synchronization of drought variations in upstream and downstream regions of the Danjiangkou Dam. Compared with drought analysis in the upstream or the downstream, respectively, research shows the spatial difference between the upstream and the downstream clearly. The following conclusions can be drawn: Standardized Precipitation Indexes in the Hanjiang River Basin did not significantly decrease; droughts considered moderate or worse occurred most frequently in autumn and winter, but most rarely in summer; the cumulative probability of moderate to severe droughts was highest in October and December. Drought conditions in the upstream region varied in a fluctuating way. The upstream region has become increasingly wet since the turn of the 21st century, while the downstream region has become increasingly dry since the 1990s. The probability of synchronous droughts both upstream and downstream was only 9.8%.
Application and critical assessment of qualitative comparative analysis: determinants for the presence of service provision models for water supply and sanitation services in Brazil
Authors: Roland Nathalia , Rezende Sonaly , Heller Léo 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
The provision of water supply and sanitation services in Brazil is characterized by a diverse range of management models, public or private operators and various judicial-institutional arrangements. Using a quali-quantitative technique – qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) – this article presents an investigation of determining factors for the presence of different service provision models in Brazil, and discusses the application of said technique. In this study, four models were comparatively analyzed: direct municipal administration, indirect municipal administration, state utility company, and private enterprise (PRIV). Eight municipalities, with an urban population ranging from 10 to 20 thousand inhabitants, from Minas Gerais (a state in the Southeast region of Brazil) were selected for this study. The findings suggest that the decision-making process regarding a service provision model, in the cases studied, involves a combination of economic, political, social, institutional, and legal factors. The qualitative comparative analysis proved capable of compiling information for this analysis as it uncovered how determining factors are inter-related and allowed the predominant factors in each of the studied management models to be identified.
Energy consumption in the life cycle of plumbing fixtures
Authors: Kalbusch A. , Ghisi E. 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to propose a method for quantifying the energy consumption in the life cycle of different plumbing fixtures. The method can be used to estimate the energy consumption in the production, use and disposal phases of plumbing fixtures. This allows for the comparison between the performances of different plumbing fixtures and the identification of the share of each phase on the energy consumption over the life cycle. The method was applied in a case study in Southern Brazil to quantify the energy consumption in the life cycle of two types of taps installed on a university campus. The total energy consumption in the life cycle of ordinary and self-closing taps used in the study was respectively, 177.71 MJ and 164.11 MJ over 4 years. Production accounted for 33% of the energy consumption share of the ordinary tap, while the use phase accounted for 65% and the disposal phase for 2%. For the self-closing tap, the production phase accounted for 46% of the energy consumption share, the use phase for 52% and the disposal phase for 2%. Therefore, considering the energy consumption in the life cycle, self-closing taps should be preferred over ordinary taps.
