GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION AND NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF ROCKFALL IN SOUTH COAST OF GUNUNG KIDUL REGENCY
Authors: Illiyin Odhi Attabik , Faris Fikri 
Published: August 2017

On 17th of June 2015, rockfall occurred on the South Coast at Gunung Kidul Regency taking a few casualties. The preliminary investigation results concluded that many cliffs on the South Coast are dangerous, and there is a potential that similar events might happen in the future. Therefore, geotechnical investigation in order to plan mitigation action is necessary. Field investigations, laboratory work, and numerical modeling were employed in this study, focusing on Sadranan beach where the incident happened. Rock slope stability analyses by means two-dimensional finite element in both static and seismic conditions were conducted. The investigation results show that both biological decay and wave erosion influence the rock slope instability. Moreover, the infilling material in rock joint has considerable effect on the stability of the slope. However, the results from numerical simulation suggested that potential failure was originating from the intact rock body instead of the plane of discontinuities. In the seismic condition, the slopes are more vulnerable and further mitigation action should be considered in the future.

Published: August 2017

<p><em>The adsorption </em><em>activities of chitosan from dried shrimp shells Metapenaeus monoceros (Fabrices) has been studied by analyzing its ability to remove lead ion from aqueous solution. This process including (i) isolation of chitosan from shrimp sells by deproteinization with NaOH, demineralization by adding HCl solution, decolorization</em> <em>with sodium hypo chloride and deacetylation by adding NaOH, (ii) studied of interaction between chitosan and Pb. The qualitative and quantitative method were used to analyses this chitosan. The isolate of chitosan has 72.39 % degree of deacetylation. This isolate was added into lead solution 10 – 1000 mg/l at pH 5. Furthermore, the solutions were shaken during 24 hours. After separation of chitosan from solution, the filtrate was identified by using Atomic Adsorption Spectrophotometric. The results showed that chitosan from dried shrimp shells can used as adsorbent of lead ion at pH 5 which followed Freundlich isotherm (r &gt; 0.95).</em></p>
The Flux of Communication: Innis, Wiener, and the Perils of Positive Feedback
Authors: Bonnett John 
Published: August 2017

Background In the early 1940s, two men from different disciplinary contexts converged on three concerns: information, its dynamics, and the pathologies stemming from those dynamics. Norbert Wiener studied these concerns from the context of mechanical and biological systems. Harold Innis viewed them from the perspective of political, social, and cultural systems.Analysis The purpose of this study is to establish this commonality, and consider its implications for two histories, those of the Cybernetic and Toronto Schools of Communication.Conclusion and implications For the Cybernetic School, the similarity suggests that the intellectual roots behind it are more extensive than scholars have appreciated. For the Toronto School, this study suggests that the concepts of information, increasing returns, and the flux of communication are neglected constituents of Innis’ thought.
Fruits of Gregory Bateson’s Epistemological Crisis: Embodied Mind-Making and Interactive Experience in Research and Professional Praxis
Authors: Russell David , Ison Ray 
Published: August 2017

Background: The espoused rationale for this special issue, situated “at the margins of cybernetics,” was to revisit and extend the common genealogy of cybernetics and communication studies. Two possible topics garnered our attention: 1) the history of intellectual adventurers whose work has appropriated cybernetic concepts; and 2) the remediation of cybernetic metaphors. Analysis: A heuristic for engaging in first- and second-order R&D praxis, the design of which was informed by co-research with pastoralists (1989–1993) and the authors’ engagements with the scholarship of Bateson and Maturana, was employed and adapted as a reflexive inquiry framework. Conclusion and implications: This inquiry challenges the mainstream desire for change and the belief in getting the communication right in order to achieve change. The authors argue this view is based on an epistemological error that continues to produce the very problems it intends to diminish, and thus we live a fundamental error in epistemology, false ontology, and misplaced practice. The authors offer instead conceptual and praxis possibilities for triggering new co-evolutionary trajectories.

Authors: Дьяченко  , Dyachenko Aleksandr 
Published: August 2017

Based on the results of theoretical studying the active tourism, the article synthesizes the category and formulates the imperatives of active tourist recreation management, and proposes the approach to corresponding economic processes optimization. It was revealed that active tourism is implemented in the form of travels and sports entertainments for all population groups, including people with disabilities, through programs of hiking, climbing, sports games, rafting, diving, safari, horse ride walks, skiing, cycling, motorcycling, car walks, nonprofessional activities of any kind of sports. At the same time, an active way of traveling along the route is carried out with the orientation to the possibilities, needs, tastes, preferences of the holidaymaker and local attractions. This makes it possible to provide treatment, health improvement, and recreation for tourists, increase inbound tourist flows, create workplaces, and attract investments for the implementation of promising infrastructure development projects of active types of travel and recreation. The author point out the necessity to choose the criteria for optimizing the routes of active tourism, focused on resources properties satisfying the tourist needs, tastes and preferences.vit should be based on the unique sports and recreational resources and increasing tourist needs. The author proposes and illustrates the approach that makes it possible to optimize electing basic properties of resources affecting the satisfaction of participants of active tours, and, consequently, on the price of the relevant services.

A “Corrupção” do Sistema Penal: o caso brasileiro
Authors: Torres Ana Paula Repolês , Prates Francisco De Castilho 
Published: August 2017

Buscamos, no presente artigo, a partir de uma análise sociológica do direito penal, refletir sobre como a exclusão social influi na própria configuração do crime e do criminoso. A nossa hipótese, baseada na Teoria dos Sistemas de Niklas Luhmann, é que existe, principalmente nas denominadas “periferias” da modernidade, uma “corrupção” do sistema penal, na medida em que o mesmo opera com distinções que lhe são estranhas, incluindo somente pessoas excluídas dos demais sub-sistemas sociais. Baseamos a pesquisa em dados oficiais sobre o sistema penitenciário e penal brasileiro, dados este que corroboram as impressões derivadas da pesquisa de campo.
Los partidos y la representación política en proceso de cambio
Authors: Losada Rodrigo 
Published: August 2017

Este artículo señala dos limitaciones en la literatura latinoamericana que analiza la llamada crisis de representación política. La primera proviene de la ambigüedad con que se maneja el término ‘partido político’ como concepto, y la segunda, destaca la escasa familiaridad de los autores con las nuevas perspectivas sobre la representación política publicadas en inglés. Se arguye que el diagnóstico sobre la crisis aludida ganaría, por un lado, si se hace a partir de un concepto cuantificable de partido político, y por otro, si incorpora algunos elementos de las nuevas perspectivas recién mencionadas.

Del propósito de la filosofía
Authors: Altuzarra José Gabriel Cristancho 
Published: August 2017

Es vital preguntarse qué enseñar de la filosofía y cómo; pero para resolver este interrogante, primero es necesario determinar con qué propósito hacerlo pero, sobre todo, saber cuál es el propósito de la filosofía. Quizás determinandoesta base esencial sea más claro resolver preguntas de carácter pedagógico y didáctico; aun más, todo esto contribuirá a aclarar la misión de la filosofía ydel filósofo en la actualidad.Para resolver esta pregunta se hace una reflexión sobre las prácticas filosóficas académicas tradicionales. Luego, a partir de algunos autores, se hace una disertación sobre qué es la filosofía, para deducir en qué aspectos de las prácticas académicas actuales está presente o distante. Finalmente, se plantean algunas prácticas para ampliar las perspectivas del filosofar y su enseñanza.

Published: August 2017

El autor aborda la problemática de los intelectuales latinoamericanos en los nuevos escenarios culturales, particularmente las proyecciones y posibilidad deintervención del trabajo intelectual. Analiza algunos desfases y tensiones asociados a la práctica intelectual, para finalmente presentar una visión, respecto de laproyección del trabajo, examinando la posibilidad de una eventual intervención, a través de un reposicionamiento del trabajo intelectual latinoamericano. Examina potenciales aptitudes, características y funciones asociadas a un hipotéticointelectual latinoamericano, quien en virtud de mantener un cierto compromiso sea capaz reposicionarse y sobrevivir en medio de la dispersión postmoderna asociada a los actuales escenarios culturales. El “intelectual estratega” sería unintelectual con la capacidad necesaria para actuar estratégicamente en el contexto de relaciones de poder y con la convicción suficiente para responder al llamado de la función crítica y ejercerla con cierta eficacia en escenarios de amplia dispersión y grandes desequilibrios.
Pactos sociales y justicia constitucional: una visión comparada entre Corea y Colombia
Authors: Quintero Rodrigo González 
Published: August 2017

El presente artículo realiza una comparación entre Corea y Colombia abordando los pactos sociales y la justicia Constitucional. Nuevas constituciones fueron adoptadas en Corea del Sur y Colombia y dentro de ellas se establecieroncortes constitucionales. Durante el último cuarto del siglo XX, bajo circunstancias específicas de crisis institucional, dos sociedades políticas y sus respectivos líderes acometieron la tarea de superar dicha crisis a través de la adopción de una nueva constitución. El establecimiento de cortes constitucionales implicaba, en dichos países, la vigencia a futuro del consenso constitucional alcanzado y la superación de la crisis pasada. Las nuevas constituciones en estos países se perciben como la reformulación de un pacto social y lascortes constitucionales juegan un papel importante respecto a la actualización constante de dicho pacto democrático-constitucional.
Nigeria and conflict resolution in Africa: The Darfur experience
Authors: Ebegbulem Joseph C 
Published: August 2017

Conflicts in Africa have over the years led to loss of lives, displacement of persons and misery in many parts of the continent. The need to resolve, manage and prevent these conflicts, and equally deal with the socio-economicchallenges arising from these conflicts has become a source of worry to African nations including Nigeria, the giant of Africa. It is in the light of the foregoing therefore, that this paper attempts to analyze Nigeria’s role in conflict resolution in Africa using the Darfur crisis in Sudan as a case study. The paper examines the historical background of the Darfur conflict and efforts made by Nigeria to resolve the crisis through peace initiatives. Since the restoration of peace in Darfur is a big challenge facing the African continent, the paper looks at the problems and prospects of peace in that part of the continent.The paper concludes by positing that even though Nigeria has demonstrated its commitment in resolving the conflict in Darfur, there still is a lot to do in concert with the African Union, especially now that Southern Sudan is a sovereign state.

Réforme de l’Ordre des avocats en Colombie: entre économie de la concurrence et économie de la qualité
Authors: Tachlian Edwin 
Published: August 2017

A l’heure de la réforme de la justice en Colombie, cet article vise à explorer la pertinence et l’efficacité de deux conceptions opposées de la réglementation de la profession d’avocat: l’autorégulation d’un ordre professionnel autonome et la libéralisation, c’est-à-dire l’absence de règles spécifiques liées à la profession libérale. Pour cela seront présentés divers modèles d’ordres d’avocat puis la position de la Commission Européenne sur la question. Enfin nous verrons en quoi cette position pourrait en réalité s’opposer à la garantie de qualité du service.
El sistema de control de constitucionalidad en Colombia
Authors: Ortiz Luis Javier Moreno 
Published: August 2017

El sistema de control de constitucionalidad en Colombia diseñado en el Acto Legislativo n.º 3 de 1910 es un hito dentro de una larga y fecunda tradición política y constitucional que mucho le debe a sus raíces hispanas y a sus desarrollos americanos. Tanto la acción pública de inconstitucionalidad como la excepción de inconstitucionalidad tienen claros antecedentes en el constitucionalismo de las Españas y de la Colonia; fueron elaboradas por una Asamblea Constituyente que obró con conocimiento y fidelidad a esa tradición, y han sido y son instituciones capitales de nuestro Estado social y democrático de derecho.

Nerve Conduction Studies as a Measure of Disease Progression: Objectivity or Illusion?
Authors: Lanza Giuseppe , Kosac Ana , Trajkovic Goran , Whittaker Roger G. 
Published: August 2017

Background: Clinical nerve conduction studies (NCS) are often used as a secondary outcome measure in therapeutic trials, but show a high degree of inter-trial variability even when technical factors known to affect the recorded responses are minimised. This raises the intriguing possibility that some of the observed variability may reflect true changes in nerve activity. Objectives: Our aim was determine how much variability these factors might produce, and how this might affect the results of commonly used neuropathy rating scales. Methods: A standardised protocol was repeated over forty consecutive trials by the same operators in two healthy subjects. The protocol included recordings that shared either a stimulating or a recording electrode position, such that changes due to electrode position could be excluded, and hand temperature was closely controlled. Results: Despite controlling for inter-operator differences, electrode position, and hand temperature, the variability in sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) amplitude was extremely high (Range 23 μV, CoV = 10.7–18.8). This variability was greater than the change in amplitude needed to move a subject from point 0 to point 4 on the CMT neuropathy rating scale. Neither temperature or electrode position accounted for all of this variability, suggesting that additional as yet unidentified factors are responsible. Conclusion: Even under closely controlled conditions and sophisticated laboratory methods, test-to-test variability can be significant. The factors responsible for this variability may be difficult to control, limiting the utility of single nerve recordings as a trial outcome measure.
Efficacy of Idebenone to Preserve Respiratory Function above Clinically Meaningful Thresholds for Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) in Patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Authors: Mayer Oscar H. , Leinonen Mika , Rummey Christian , Meier Thomas , Buyse Gunnar M. ,   for the DELOS Study Group
Published: August 2017

Background: Patients with DMD experience progressive restrictive respiratory disease and eventual respiratory failure. Standard of care guidelines command changes in disease management when forced vital capacity percent of predicted (FVC% p) falls below clinically relevant thresholds. The Phase 3 DELOS trial in patients with DMD demonstrated that idebenone reduces the loss of peak expiratory flow and FVC compared to placebo (Buyse GM, et al.; Lancet 2015; 385 : 1748-57). Objective: Post-hoc analyses were conducted to assess whether treatment with idebenone could reduce the risk of patients dropping below clinically meaningful thresholds of FVC% p. Methods: The DELOS trial enrolled DMD patients 10–18 years of age not using glucocorticoids to receive idebenone (N = 31) or placebo (N = 33) for 12 months. Change from baseline in FVC and FVC% p was assessed by hospital spirometry and analyzed by mixed model of repeated measures and slope analysis and proportions of patients falling below clinically meaningful thresholds of FVC% p were compared. Results: The change over 1 year in FVC and FVC% p showed a consistent pattern in favor of idebenone treatment across multiple analysis methods and fewer patients in the idebenone group declined by a margin of 10% or more in FVC and FVC% p compared to placebo. There were also fewer patients in the idebenone group (15%) with a decline below FVC% p of 50% compared to the placebo group (25%) and fewer patients in the idebenone group (28%) showed a decline below FVC% p of 50% or 40% or 30% compared to the placebo group (43%). Conclusions: These data added to the consistency and clinical meaningfulness of findings from the DELOS trial showing that idebenone can slow the loss of pulmonary function in patients with DMD.
Seeking help for perinatal psychological distress: a meta-synthesis of women’s experiences
Authors: Button Susan , Thornton Alexandra , Lee Suzanne , Shakespeare Judy , Ayers Susan 
Published: August 2017

BackgroundWomen may not seek help for perinatal psychological distress, despite regular contact with primary care services. Barriers include ignorance of symptoms, inability to disclose distress, others’ attitudes, and cultural expectations. Much of the evidence has been obtained from North American populations and may not, therefore, extrapolate to the UK.AimTo understand the factors affecting women’s decision to seek help for perinatal distress.Design and settingMeta-synthesis of the available published qualitative evidence on UK women’s experiences of seeking help for perinatal distress.MethodSystematic searches were conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Databases searched were PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, CINAHL, and Academic Search Complete. Searches of grey literature and references were also conducted. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they reported qualitative data on UK women’s experiences of perinatal distress and contact with healthcare professionals. The synthesis was conducted using meta-ethnography.ResultsIn all, 24 studies were eligible for inclusion. Metasynthesis identified three main themes: identifying a problem, the influence of healthcare professionals, and stigma. These themes build on current understanding of help seeking by identifying the need for women to be able to frame their experience, for healthcare professionals to educate women about their roles, the need for continuity of care, and the way that being seen as a ‘bad mother’ causes women to self-silence.ConclusionPerinatal care provision needs to allow for continuity of care and for staff training that facilitates awareness of factors that influence women’s help seeking. Further research is required, particularly in relation to effective means of identifying perinatal psychological distress.
