DEVELOPING AN INTUITIVE AND PROBABILISTIC UNDERSTANDING OF Α=0.05 AND Α=0.01 STATISTICAL SIGNIFICANCE LEVELS
Authors: Türegün Mehmet 
Published: October 2016

O objetivo deste artigo é descrever uma abordagem de modelagem para ajudar os alunos a desenvolver uma compreensão conceitual dos níveis de significância estatística por meio de descoberta com base em suas próprias observações quando eles desempenham o papel de detetives de dados. Gostaria de poder promover esta ideia inteligente como minha, mas, na verdade, Eckert (1994) delineou uma atividade similar. Alguns anos mais tarde Roxy Peck demonstrou uma versão ligeiramente diferente dessa atividade em um encontro sobre Métodos Estatísticos Avançados. Tenho utilizado várias versões desta abordagem de modelagem ao longo dos anos em meus vários cursos de estatísticas e pesquisa quantitativa nos níveis de graduação e pós-graduação.

Published: October 2016

Los espacios co-working han pasado de ser espacios en los que sólo secompartía un escritorio y lugar físico con otros emprendedores, a unanueva forma de innovación social. En ellos los nuevos emprendedores nosólo encuentran un espacio físico para trabajar a buen precio, sino quetambién podrán encontrar servicios especializados a un coste asumiblepara sus incipientes empresas. Los espacios co-working brindan a losemprendedores las herramientas necesarias para poner en marcha unaidea de negocio, por lo que su objetivo es claro: apoyar a jóvenes empresariosa que su negocio supere las dificultades iniciales y se pueda establecerdefinitivamente en el entramado empresarial de la región.El principal objetivo que nos hemos marcado a la hora de realizar estetrabajo se centra en visibilizar la labor que se lleva a cabo con emprendedoresrurales en el primer centro co-working rural de España. La NaveNodriza Co–working se encuentra en Villanueva de la Vera, una pequeñalocalidad de 2000 habitantes, situada en la provincia de Cáceres (Extremadura);su trabajo se centra en el mundo rural apoyando a emprendedoresque por su actividad tradicional suelen tener problemas para creary consolidar su proyecto empresarial.La metodología utilizada para conocer cómo La Nave Nodriza Co–working desarrolla su trabajo se ha centrado en el análisis de su web y noticias relacionadas con su actividad, a fin de conocer el impacto quetienen para mejorar problemas locales y la calidad de vida de la zona.
Tesis de Posgrado: Programas de transferencias monetarias condicionadas y temporalidad social Un análisis del Programa Jefas y Jefes de Hogar Desocupados y su incidencia en el uso del tiempo de la población beneficiaria
Authors: Delfino Andrea 
Published: October 2016

La profundización del modelo aperturista a partir de 1991 introdujocambios profundos en la legislación laboral y dio lugar a una nueva generaciónde políticas sociales, las cuales, en el caso argentino, no contemplanla temporalidad social. A partir de esta premisa, el objetivo generalde esta tesis es indagar la incidencia que los programas de transferenciamonetaria condicionada implementados, tienen en moldear el uso deltiempo de los beneficiarios, a través del estudio del caso del ProgramaJefas y Jefes de Hogar Desocupados.Los programas diseñados para hacer frente a la desocupación a partirde los ’90 no resultan inocuos en términos de temporalidad social, ya queintroducen una serie de prescripciones y obligaciones que puede llegar aprofundizar la desestructuración temporal de las poblaciones asistidas. Elreconocimiento de esta situación a través de un estudio en profundidad constituye un aporte significativo, pues introduce una variable habitualmenteignorada y de fuerte incidencia en la aplicación de estos programas.La presente investigación de tipo exploratorio se propone como un estudiode caso único encastrado en la medida en que la indagación empírica secentra en describir y analizar un fenómeno social complejo y contemporáneodentro de su contexto en el mundo social. Al respecto, se indagarála temática en estudio con relación a la etapa final de aplicación del PJJHD(Programa Jefas y Jefes de Hogar Desocupados) en la ciudad de Rosario. Porsu parte, el abordaje metodológico reúne elementos tanto de la metodologíacualitativa como de la cuantitativa, con predominio de esta última.
“It’s the Same World through Different Eyes”: A CLIL Project for EFL Young Learners.
Authors: Korosidou Eleni , Griva Eleni 
Published: October 2016

This paper presents the design, implementation and evaluation of a project entitled "It's the same world through different eyes", which was based on the principles of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach and was piloted with 4th primary school grade students. More specifically, we employed a dual-focused approach, focusing equally on English language and content development. For the purpose of the project, we designed a mini-syllabus with the stories being at the core of the design. The objectives of the project were to: a) develop the students’ skills in EFL, b) develop their sensitivity towards diversity, c)enhance their citizenship awareness. Students were provided with opportunities to express themselves verbally and non-verbally, and participate in a variety of creative activities in a multimodal teaching context. The findings of project evaluation indicated students’ improvement regarding both their receptive and productive skills in the target language, and the development of children’s citizenship awareness and their sensitivity towards diversity.

Published: October 2016

<p>Las raíces finas juegan un papel importante en la ecología y dinámica de los bosques tropicales. La biomasa de raíces finas (BRF) está determinada principalmente por las características del suelo (disponibilidad de agua y nutrientes) y es mayor en suelos con menor fertilidad. Para evaluar esta hipótesis se establecieron cinco parcelas permanentes de una hectárea en las localidades de Opogodó (Condoto) y Pacurita (Quibdó), Chocó, Colombia, donde se midió la BRF a 0-10 y 10-20 cm de profundidad, y la fertilidad edáfica (pH, nutrientes y textura), los cuales se relacionaron con la BRF. Ambas localidades presentaron suelos pobres en nutrientes, con mayor contenido de arena, N total y materia orgánica (MO) en Opogodó. La BRF presentó poca relación con la textura y el contenido de nutrientes del suelo, pues solo las correlaciones de la BRF con el pH y el contenido de arcilla fueron significativas. En ambas zonas la BRF disminuyó con la profundidad; los valores encontrados entre 0 - 20 cm de profundidad fueron de 5.91 y 6.28 t ha<sup>-1</sup> en Opogodó y Pacurita, respectivamente. El análisis a escala de la región tropical mostró una relación inversa entre el contenido del P disponible y la BRF de los bosques. </p>
Die Bewertung der Arbeitszufriedenheit
Authors: Pfaff Simon , Kuhn Marc 
Published: October 2016

Zusammenfassung
Eine hohe Arbeitszufriedenheit hat – unabhängig vom Grad der Behinderung – nicht nur einen positiven Einfluss auf die Lebensqualität der Beschäftigten, sondern auch eine hohe Bedeutung für den Arbeitgeber. Trotzdem finden sich in der standardisierten Umfrageforschung kaum Arbeiten, die sich systematisch der Zufriedenheit behinderter und nicht-behinderter Arbeitnehmerinnen und Arbeitnehmer widmen. In diesem Beitrag zur Methodenentwicklung und Methodendiskussion entwickeln wir basierend auf verfügbaren Messinstrumenten einen Vorschlag zur Messung der allgemeinen Arbeitszufrie-denheit. Auf der Grundlage einer Befragung in Integrationsfirmen in Baden-Württemberg prüfen wir Aspekte der Reliabilität und Validität des Erhebungsinstruments. Dabei stellen wir fest, dass die resultierende Datenqualität als zufriedenstellend angesehen werden kann.
Medicated structural PVP/PEG composites fabricated using coaxial electrospinning

Published: October 2016

Abstract
A new type of medicated polymeric composite consisting of acyclovir (ACY), polyvinylpyrrolidone K60 (PVP) and polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG) with core-shell structure were prepared by a coaxial electrospinning process. The composites could enhance the dissolution of the poorly water-soluble drug. The shell layers were formed from a spinnable working fluid containing the filament-forming PVP and citric acid while the core parts were prepared from an un-spinnable co-dissolving solution composed of ACY, sodium hydrate and PEG. Scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope observations demonstrated that the composites had a homogeneous linear topography with a slippery surface, a diameter of 670±130 nm, and an obvious core-shell structure. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy results demonstrated that the drug and citric acid contained in the core and shell parts were in an amorphous status. In vitro dissolution experiments exhibited that ACY was able to be free within 1 min, and the dissolution media were neutral due to acid-basic action within the core-shell structures. The medicated nanocomposites resulted from a combined usage of hydrophilic polymeric excipients PVP and PEG could provide a new solution to the problem associated with the dissolution of poorly water-soluble drugs.
Acceptance Sampling Plans Based on Truncated Lifetime Tests for Transmuted Inverse Rayleigh Distribution
Authors: Al-Omari Amer I. 
Published: October 2016

AbstractIn this paper, we propose acceptance sampling plans for transmuted inverse Rayleigh distribution when the lifetime time is truncated at a predetermined level. We consider various characteristics of the acceptance sampling plans such as confidence levels, acceptance numbers, ratio of the experimental time to such a specified average, minimum requisite sample size to affirm a certain mean lifetime assuming transmuted inverse Rayleigh distribution. The minimum sample size, the operating characteristic function values of the new sampling plans as well as the producer’s risk are obtained and the results are illustrated by examples.

Authors: Ahmad Bashir , Ntouyas Sotiris K. 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
In this paper, we study a class of Riemann–Liouville fractional differential inclusions with fractional boundary conditions.
By using standard fixed point theorems, we obtain some new existence results for convex as well as nonconvex multi-valued mappings in an appropriate Banach space.
The obtained results are illustrated by examples.
Economic micro-systems? Non-market and not-only-for-profit economic activities in eco-communities
Authors: Blažek Jan 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Eco-communities are a potential model for the socio-technological transition to a post-carbon society. The debate over their economic sustainability has, however, been limited. This article aims to enhance the discussion by offering a conceptualization of the economic micro-system created in eco-communities. It uses the economic terms households and firms to discuss two ways in which the community economy is positioned and then goes on to explore the principles behind the non-market (non-monetary) activities of households and the not-only-for-profit activities of firms as the basis of the eco-community economy. It concludes by pointing out that both can operate in parallel, with eco-communities producing non-market capital that can be used to develop not-only-for-profit activities which support the economic sustainability of the projects.
Inertia processes and status quo bias in promoting green change
Authors: Johnsen Svein Åge Kjøs 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Change can be difficult to achieve, and system inertia may be considered relevant. There is a tendency for dynamic systems to enter into specific states characterized by stabilizing factors. The present work attempts to define inertia processes and explores these with regard to pro-environmental behaviour and decision-making. Inertia processes can be considered both within an organizational context and from the level of the individual, and may involve a number of psychological processes and aspects of the decision-making process. A few suggestions for research are also presented.
Psychosocial job strain as a mediator between physical working conditions and symptoms associated with sick building syndrome
Authors: Rydstedt Leif W. 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to examine whether psychosocial working conditions may be a mediator between indoor physical working conditions and the type of vague general health symptoms included in the diagnosis of sick building syndrome (SBS). The study was based on survey data from 1505 British white-collar workers from 20 different organizations. A path analysis revealed that there was a significant direct relation between physical working conditions and vague symptoms and also psychosocial job strain (Effort-Reward Imbalance ratio), which in turn also strongly related to the vague symptoms. The findings thus suggested a mediating role between physical working conditions and symptoms for psychosocial job strain. Due to the cross-sectional study design no conclusions on causality can be drawn.
Some remarks on the concept and intellectual history of human dignity
Authors: Palenčár Marián 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
The article looks at general problems associated with the explication of the concept of human dignity, then looks specifically at this in relation to bioethics and suggests possible solutions. The author explores the intellectual history of the concept (Cicero) and responds to the radical criticism that the concept of human dignity is useless and redundant in bioethical discourse (it is ambiguous, lacks cognitive content, is of religious provenance and is incompatible with the modern (Darwinist) scientific image of the world). He argues 1) that the ambiguity and relativity of the concept can be solved by precisely identifying the content and performing a classification analysis and shows that the concept does have cognitive content that is irreducible to other concepts; 2) that the need to elaborate the concept of human dignity is pre-Christian in origin (Cicero) and that the idea of a personal God and the Holy Trinity are not prerequisite to the concept; and 3) that the idea of human dignity as otherness could prevent anthropocentric speciesism and the naturalistic abolition of human self-identity.
Beobachtungen zum Begriff der Moderne
Authors: Knöbl Wolfgang 
Published: October 2016

AbstractSociological terms like ›modernization‹, ›modern society‹› ›modernity‹, or ›modernities‹ always run into theoretical problems since they all are - in the words of W. B. Gallie - »essentially contested concepts«. Instead of searching for the essence of all these terms, the humanities and the social sciences rather ought to analyse how they have been used as »Kampfbegriffe«, as conceptual tools designed for promoting one’s own political aims.
Döblins Moderne
Authors: Jelavich Peter 
Published: October 2016

AbstractAlfred Döblin’s oeuvre may be regarded as an »ideal-type« of modernism, inasmuch as it combines a modernist aesthetic with a critical appreciation of social and technological modernity. Characteristics of this attitude include: the displacement of the autonomous, humanistic self in favor of an individualism sustained by collective forces; a rejection of traditional, elitist literature in favor of popular idioms and the mass media; and a recognition that modern technological and political trends, though harboring totalitarian tendencies, may be harnessed for purposes of individual and collective freedom - provided that one embraces (rather than ironically distances oneself from) the progressive potentials of modernity.
Psychogramme des Kleinbürgertums: Zur sozialen Satire bei Wilhelm Busch und Loriot
Authors: Wietschorke Jens 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThis article focuses on the satirical and critical look at the petty bourgeoisie in the work of the German humorists Wilhelm Busch and Loriot. It will be shown that the narrative structure of their comical stories is based on the well-known idea of the „return of the repressed“ from Psychoanalytic theory. Thus, Busch and Loriot reveal the structure of the authoritarian personality.

Published: October 2016

Abstract
As a consequence of technology scaling, today's complex multi-processor systems have become more and more susceptible to
errors. In order to satisfy reliability requirements, such systems require methods to detect and tolerate errors. This
entails two major challenges: (a) providing a comprehensive approach that ensures fault-tolerant execution of parallel
applications across different types of resources, and (b) optimizing resource usage in the face of dynamic fault
probabilities or with varying fault tolerance needs of different applications. In this paper, we present a holistic and
adaptive approach to provide fault tolerance on Multi-Processor System-on-a-Chip (MPSoC) on demand of an application or
environmental needs based on invasive computing. We show how invasive computing may provide adaptive fault tolerance on
a heterogeneous MPSoC including hardware accelerators and communication infrastructure such as a Network-on-Chip
(NoC). In addition, we present (a) compile-time transformations to automatically adopt well-known redundancy schemes such
as Dual Modular Redundancy (DMR) and Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) for fault-tolerant loop execution on a class of
massively parallel arrays of processors called as Tightly Coupled Processor Arrays (). Based on timing
characteristics derived from our compilation flow, we further develop (b) a reliability analysis guiding the selection of
a suitable degree of fault tolerance. Finally, we present (c) a methodology to detect and adaptively mitigate faults in
invasive NoCs.

AbstractBackground:Data on stature in Iranian children and adolescents at national level are limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of short stature with life satisfaction (LS) and self-rated health (SRH) in children and adolescents.Methods:Data were obtained from a nationwide survey entitled childhood and adolescence surveillance and preventResults:Overall, 13,484 participants with a mean (SD) age of 12.5 (3.36) years (49.24% girls, 50.75% boys) completed the study (response rate 90.6%). The prevalence of short stature, poor SRH and life dissatisfaction was 9%, 20.04% and 20.09%, respectively. Although in the univariate model, participants with short stature had significantly lower odds of LS [odds ratio (OR): 0.83, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.71–0.97] and good SRH (OR: 0.79, 95% CI: 0.68–0.92), in the multivariate model, only the association of short stature with good SRH remained statistically significant (OR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.69–0.98).Conclusions:Results of the present study show that participants with short stature are at the greater risk of poor SRH and decreased LS in comparison with the subjects with normal height.

Published: October 2016

AbstractShwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is an autosomal recessive bone marrow failure syndrome typically characterized by neutropenia and pancreatic dysfunction, although phenotypic presentations vary, and the endocrine phenotype is not well-described. We report a unique case of a patient with SDS who initially presented with hypoglycemia and micropenis in the newborn period and was diagnosed with congenital hypopituitarism. We are not aware of any other cases of SDS documented with this combination of complex endocrinopathies.
Activity patterns in sympatric carnivores in the Nahuelbuta Mountain Range, southern-central Chile
Authors: Zúñiga Alfredo H. , Jiménez Jaime E. , Ramírez de Arellano Pablo 
Published: October 2016

AbstractSpecies interactions determine the structure of biological communities. In particular, interference behavior is critical as dominant species can displace subordinate species depending on local ecological conditions. In carnivores, the outcome of interference may have important consequences from the point of view of conservation, especially when vulnerable species are the ones suffering displacement. Using 24 baited camera traps and a sampling effort of 2821 trap nights, we examined the activity patterns and spatial overlap of an assemblage of five sympatric carnivores in the Nahuelbuta Mountain Range, in southern-central Chile. In this forested landscape we found predominantly nocturnal activity in all species, but not for the puma (
Graphene plasmonics: physics and potential applications
Authors: Huang Shenyang , Song Chaoyu , Zhang Guowei , Yan Hugen 
Published: October 2016

AbstractPlasmon in graphene possesses many unique properties. It originates from the collective motion of massless Dirac fermions, and the carrier density dependence is distinctively different from conventional plasmons. In addition, graphene plasmon is highly tunable and shows strong energy confinement capability. Most intriguingly, as an atom-thin layer, graphene and its plasmon are very sensitive to the immediate environment. Graphene plasmons strongly couple to polar phonons of the substrate, molecular vibrations of the adsorbates, and lattice vibrations of other atomically thin layers. In this review, we present the most important advances in graphene plasmonics field. The topics include terahertz plasmons, mid-infrared plasmons, plasmon-phonon interactions, and potential applications. Graphene plasmonics opens an avenue for reconfigurable metamaterials and metasurfaces; it is an exciting and promising new subject in the nanophotonics and plasmonics research field.

AbstractThere exists a need in a quality and accuracy of a three-dimensional laser metrology operating in numerically controlled automatic machines. For this purpose, one sends three laser beams mutually perpendicular. These three beams of the wavelength λ = 0.6328 μm are generated by the same laser and are directed along three independent, orthogonal, mutually perpendicular, optical paths with a given light polarization plain. Using these beams, constituting the frame of coordinates, three independent laser rangefinders are able to determine spatial coordinates of a working tool or a workpiece. To form these optical pulses, a special refractive index matched Half-Wave Plate with nematic Liquid Crystal (LCHWP) was applied. The presented half-wave plate is based on a single Twisted Nematic (TN) cell (with the twist angle
