What’s in a Name? Exploring the Nomenclature of Science Communication in the UK
Authors: Illingworth Sam , Redfern James , Millington Steve , Gray Sam 
Published: September 2015

This study, via a consideration of the literature, and a limited survey of active science communicators, presents concise and workable definitions for science outreach, public engagement, widening participation, and knowledge exchange, in a UK context. Sixty-six per cent of participants agreed that their definitions of outreach, public engagement, and widening participation aligned with those of their colleagues, whilst 64% felt that their personal definitions matched those of their institute. However, closer inspection of the open-ended questions found the respondents often differed in the use of the nomenclature. In particular, the respondents found it difficult to define knowledge exchange in this context. It is hoped that this initial study will form the foundation of future work in this area, and that it will help to further develop the debate regarding the need for a consistent nomenclature across science communication.
The enjoyment of griefing in online games
Authors: Paul Hunter L. , Bowman Nicholas David , Banks Jaime 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
This article expands on the use of self-determination theory (SDT) as an explanation for enjoyment in video games. Two different types of players with contrasting gameplay styles were examined and compared using the theory: griefers, who enjoy engaging in activities meant to disrupt other players’ game experience, and more community-focused players. A two-condition experiment (randomly assigning respondents to complete different survey prompts) was used to examine griefers’ satisfaction of SDT needs compared to their levels of enjoyment when griefing others and if their gameplay style hinders their enjoyment or not when compared to community players. Results support the relationship between SDT need satisfaction and enjoyment, and indicate that griefers enjoy their gameplay style as much as community-based players, despite the antisocial nature of the gameplay style resulting in differing levels of need satisfaction. The results show the relationship between the three SDT needs and enjoyment based on an emphasis on the importance players place on individual needs.
Towards An Integrated Theory Of The Cyber-Urban
Authors: Forlano Laura 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
Over the past decade, scholars have worked to develop a new lexicon of the cyber-urban in order to express, in a more nuanced and careful way, the hybrid nature of everyday life in cities of the 21st century. Yet, for the most part, our current verbal and visual metaphors and imagined futures along with our theoretical and analytical frames, to a large degree, continue to emphasize the separation of the physical and the digital into discrete and hierarchical layers and ‘stacks.’ Given our limited metaphors, it should come as no surprise that we are unable to traverse socio-economic barriers and build more equitable and pluralistic cities. This paper will discuss the need to move beyond hybrid language and towards a truly integrated theory of digital materiality and the cyber-urban using examples from debates about big data, Smart Cities, the ‘internet of things’ and the quantified self.
Wizerunek szkoły i nauczycieli w badaniach retrospektywnych
Authors: Gorbaniuk Julia 
Published: September 2015

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza jakości wizerunku szkoły i nauczycieli na podstawie skojarzeń byłych uczniów w okresie 5 lat po opuszczeniu ławek szkolnych. Badania retrospektywne przeprowadzono na grupie 127 osób, za pomocą narzędzi Testu Wolnych Skojarzeń pt. „Moja szkoła” oraz wywiadów fokusowych na temat wspomnień z lat szkolnych, w grupach 7-8 osobowych. Uzyskane wyniki badań zostały opracowane za pomocą kategoryzacji poszczególnych skojarzeń. Na podstawie wyników badań opracowano wymiary wizerunku odnoszące się do szkoły jako instytucji. Wśród nich znalazły się następujące kategorie: 1) wygląd i wyposażenie szkoły; 2) ocena instytucji; 3) cechy osobowe; 4) nauka i wszechstronny rozwój; 5) rozrywka/koledzy; 6) wartości życiowe; 7) wydarzenia sentymentalne. Skojarzenia związane z opisem „ulubionego nauczyciela” oraz „nauczyciela, którego nie lubiłem” w dużej mierzy stanowią podobne kategorie do oceny, zmieniło się jednak ich nasilenie i kolejność. Jako najważniejsze wyróżniono: 1) cechy osobowości; 2) cechy zawodowe; 3) relacje z uczniami; 4) ocena sposobu nauczania; 5) ocena zachowania. Istotna zaś różnicą w ocenie tych dwóch skrajnych typów pedagogów jest fakt, że negatywna postać nauczyciela jest ostro oceniana przez uczniów pod względem wyglądu zewnętrznego, co nie występuje w przypadku nauczyciela pozytywnie postrzeganego. Ten wymiar jest zastąpiony docenieniem lubianych nauczycieli, za ich wszechstronne zainteresowania i dążenie do samorozwoju. Dokonana analiza może stać się podstawą do świadomego i planowego kreowania wizerunku szkoły jako instytucji oraz nauczyciela jako głównej postaci, mającej wpływ na jakość wspomnień uczniów o szkole w dłuższej pespektywie życiowej.
Rola pracownika socjalnego w procesie edukacji
Authors: Młyński Józef 
Published: September 2015

Praca socjalna to nadzieja jednostki na lepsze jutro, zaś pracownik socjalny to opiekun ludzi tęskniących za lepszym i sprawiedliwszym życiem. Motto niniejszego artykułu bardzo mocno wpisuje się w dzisiejszą rzeczywistość, w której coraz więcej rodzi się trudności instytucjonalnych. Trudności te w rzeczy samej dotyczą przede wszystkim rodziny oraz procesu wychowawczego dzieci młodzieży. Dlatego też artykuł podejmuje problematykę roli pracownika socjalnego w procesie edukacji.W pierwszej części niniejszego opisu dotknięto teoretycznej analizy: edukacji, wychowania i socjalizacji. W drugiej części ukazano konieczność wsparcia procesu edukacji przez pracownika socjalnego. Ponieważ dzieci są źrenicą każdej rodziny, dlatego też wszelkie problemy poznajemy dopiero wówczas, gdy dziecko uczęszcza do szkoły. Jest to bardzo korzystny czas, aby w sytuacji zauważenia problemów społecznych i patologicznych udzielić właściwej pomocy nie tylko dziecku, ale również rodzinie, bowiem ona staje się podmiotem trudności dziecka. Potrzeba zatem pracownika socjalnego w przestrzeni szkoły i edukacji, który obok psychologa i pedagoga, będzie wspierał rodzinę w zakresie jej naprawy.
Calculation Of Position And Velocity Of GLONASS Satellite Based On Analytical Theory Of Motion
Authors: Góral W. , Skorupa B. 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
The presented algorithms of computation of orbital elements and positions of GLONASS satellites are based on the asymmetric variant of the generalized problem of two fixed centers. The analytical algorithm embraces the disturbing acceleration due to the second J
2 and third J
3 coefficients, and partially fourth zonal harmonics in the expansion of the Earth’s gravitational potential. Other main disturbing accelerations – due to the Moon and the Sun attraction – are also computed analytically, where the geocentric position vector of the Moon and the Sun are obtained by evaluating known analytical expressions for their motion. The given numerical examples show that the proposed analytical method for computation of position and velocity of GLONASS satellites can be an interesting alternative for presently used numerical methods.

Authors: Remus Furtună , Angela Domnariu , Petru Lazăr 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
The human activity concerning an occupation is resultant from the interaction between the psycho-biological, socio-cultural and organizational-occupational factors. Tehnological development, automation and computerization that are to be found in all the branches of activity, the level of speed in which things develop, as well as reaching their complexity, require less and less physical aptitudes and more cognitive qualifications. The person included in the work process is bound in most of the cases to come in line with the organizational-occupational situations that are specific to the demands of the job. The role of the programmer is essencial in the process of execution of ordered softwares, thus the truly brilliant ideas can only come from well-rested minds, concentrated on their tasks. The actual requirements of the jobs, besides the high number of benefits and opportunities, also create a series of psycho-social risks, which can increase the level of stress during work activity, especially for those who work under pressure.

Published: September 2015

Abstract
Most successful organizations worldwide use key performance indicators as an important part of their corporate strategy in order to forecast, measure and plan their businesses. Performance metrics vary in their purpose, definition and content. Therefore, the way organizations select what they think are the optimal indicators for their businesses varies from company to company, sometimes even from department to department. This study aims to answer the question of what is the most suitable way to define and select key performance indicators. More than that, it identifies the right criteria to select key performance indicators at shop floor level. This paper contributes to prior research by analysing and comparing previously researched selection criteria and proposes an original six-criteria-model, which caters towards choosing the most adequate KPIs. Furthermore, the authors take the research a step further by further steps to closed research gaps within this field of study.

In-Factory Learning – Qualification For The Factory Of The Future
Authors: Quint Fabian , Mura Katharina , Gorecky Dominic 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
The Industry 4.0 vision anticipates that internet technologies will find their way into future factories replacing traditional components by dynamic and intelligent cyber-physical systems (CPS) that combine the physical objects with their digital representation. Reducing the gap between the real and digital world makes the factory environment more flexible, more adaptive, but also more complex for the human workers. Future workers require interdisciplinary competencies from engineering, information technology, and computer science in order to understand and manage the diverse interrelations between physical objects and their digital counterpart. This paper proposes a mixed-reality based learning environment, which combines physical objects and visualisation of digital content via Augmented Reality. It uses reality-based interaction in order to make the dynamic interrelations between real and digital factory visible and tangible. We argue that our learning system does not work as a stand-alone solution, but should fit into existing academic and advanced training curricula.

The Global Sustainability Index: An Instrument For Assessing The Progress Towards The Sustainable Organization
Authors: Grecu Valentin 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
There is rarely an optimal solution in sustainable development but most frequently a need to build compromises between conflicting aspects such as economic, social and environmental ones and different expectations of stakeholders. Moreover, information is rarely available and precise. This paper will focus on how to use indicators to monitor sustainable development, integrating the information provided by many of them into a complex general sustainability index. Having this general indicator is essential for decision makers as it is very complicated to evaluate the performance of the organization based on multiple indicators. The objective of this paper is to find mathematical algorithms for simplifying the decision-making process by offering an instrument for the evaluation of the sustainability progress.
Protective Footwear And The Risk Of Slipping In Older Workers – Definitions, Achievements, Recommendations
Authors: Irzmańska Emilia 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
Foot slippage is the most widespread unforeseen event causing falls on the same level, and a potentially contributing factor to falls from height and falls to a lower level. Statistical data on the number of slip-related accidents at work show the importance of the problem of slipping and indicate the need to continuously improve preventive measures designed to reduce injuries related to slipping, tripping, and falling (STF) on the same level. It is therefore necessary to continuously and insightfully analyze the causes of falls and undertake efforts to eliminate the occurrence of slip- and trip-induced workplace accidents. The occurrence of slips and trips is primarily related to the type and quality of floor surfaces, but it also depends on the biomechanical characteristics of the lower limbs in the transitional phases of walking gait, sole material and tread, human factors such as age, weight, and motor and vision function, the ability to adapt to the floor surface conditions, as well as on a number of factors linked to the workplace environment and work organization. This problem is going to escalate as a result of the higher retirement age, due to which many persons over the age of 60 will have to continue working, often in hazardous conditions.

Published: September 2015

Abstract
The quest for sound-absorbing materials that are not only environmentally friendly, but also sustainable is the foremost reason for natural fibre-acoustic materials. Bark cloth is a natural non-woven fabric that is largely produced from Ficus trees. An exploratory investigation of bark cloth a non-woven material and its reinforcement in epoxy polymer composites has been fabricated and investigated for the sound absorption properties so as to find the most suitable applications and also to see whether bark cloth can be used in some applications in place of man-made fibres. Three types of material species were investigated with their respective composites. The fibre morphology showed bark cloth to be a porous fabric that showed promising sound absorption properties at higher frequencies. The sound absorption results of four-layer material selections of Ficus natalensis, Ficus brachypoda and Antiaris toxicaria bark cloth showed sound absorption coefficient of 0.7; 0.71 and 0.91 at f > 6400 Hz, respectively. The bark cloth reinforced laminar epoxy composites had reduced sound absorption coefficients, which ranged from 0.1 to 0.35, which was attributed to decreased porosity and vibration in the bark cloth fibre network.
Antifungal activity of some botanical extracts on
Fusarium oxysporum
Authors: Rongai Domenico , Pulcini Patrizio , Pesce Barbara , Milano Filomena 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
The present paper describes the antifungal
activity of some plant extracts on the development of
Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici. The best extracts
were selected to be tested as a phytofungicide to control
crop diseases, with the ultimate goal of developing a
green alternative to synthetic fungicides. Using the
conidia germination assay, of the 24 plant extracts
tested, 15 reduced conidia germination and 6 completely
inhibited germination. Extracts of Rivina humulis,
Brassica carinata, Brunfelsia calyicina, Salvia guaranitica
and Punica granatum showed good antifungal activity.
The relationship between total phenolic content (TPC) in
each plant extract tested and the percentage of mycelial
growth inhibition showed a significant correlation (R2
= 0.69), while no correlation was found between total
flavonoid content (TFC) and percentage mycelial growth
inhibition. Among all extracts tested, Punica granatum
and Salvia guaranitica showed the best inhibitory effect
against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici . Our results
indicate that plant extracts with a good antifungal activity
generally had a high level of total polyphenolic content
and titratable acidity, and low values of pH.
The Microbiome: Evolutionary Perspective and
Symbiogenesis
Authors: Islas-Rodríguez Alfonso Enrique , Carballo-Lago Lorena 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
The main function of the Immune System
(IS) in metazoans is to protect them against invading
microorganisms, which are considered from this
perspective as competitors that reduce the availability of
resources, cause tissue damage and essentially threaten
their adaptability. This relationship is seen as a low
intensity perpetual armed war, related to the hypothesis of
the “Red Queen”. This view suggests that the metazoans’
IS has evolved under a selective pressure imposed
by microorganisms of the microbiota, that whether
infectious or not, have co-evolved with the host’s IS in an
evolutionary symbiogenesis, with reciprocal interactions
that have developed local immunity. The microbiota
changes with age and communicates with the brain.
The above mentioned implies that we are witnessing
the birth of a new scientific discipline that could
be termed microbial anthropology, and several
perspectives that includes the change of our perception
of health and established the fundamentals for the use of
microorganisms as therapeutic agents. In order for these
therapies to succeed considerable information must be
available about our microbiota, such as changes during
pregnancy, the effects of antibiotic use, new methods for
in vitro cultivation and the host-commensal dynamics.
