Academic literature on the topic 'Andlig dimension'

The thesis of internal colonialism reveals the realities that different populations face, and posits that even populations that are within the core central regions of the capitalist world-system are victims of certain exploitation models more typical of the colonial periphery. This article reviews this thesis about internal colonialism with the aim of freeing it from its rigid structuralism and bringing it closer to other perspectives, such as the post-colonialist and decolonialist views, which could ultimately enhance its usefulness as a theoretical tool. Furthermore, this paper addresses the need for an exploration of the social dimension that accompanies internal colonialism, somewhat neglected by the traditional thesis, in light of a conceptual proposition that emphasizes the genesis and transformation of different colonial identities and highlights internal colonialism as an identityfixing dispositive. Finally, this paper briefly examines the Galician case of internal colonialism to demonstrate the potential offered by this new theoretical approach.

Increased need for air transport will increase the activity of ground handling at airports. Increased activity of this will affect the mental workload received personnel who carry it out. Any increase in mental workload will affect the occurrence of human error and affect flight safety. Analysis of mental workload ofpart o f ground handling personnel is very important to ensure acceptable personnel workloads according to workload capacity available. This mental workload research using NASA-TLX method, that the procedure uses a multi-dimensional rating, and divide the workload on the basis of the average loading 6 dimensions, namely Mental Demand, Physical Demand, Temporal Demand, Effort, Own Performance, and frustation. NASA-TLX is divided into two phases, namely a comparison of each scale (Paired Comparison) and giving value to the work (Event Scoring). The research objective is to ensure the mental workload of part of ground handling Adisucipto airport in Yogyakarta, in accordance with their capacity, so as to avoid human error and to support aviation safety. The results showed that the mean score of mental workload ground handling activities by PT. Gapura Air and PT. Kokapura Avia in Yogyakarta Adisucipto airport in the mental workload optimization group, which indicates mental workload received by workers are safe (no overload).

The fractal characteristics of pore structures were investigated using duck eggshells as an object of study. The images of the sharp end, the equator and the blunt end of the eggshells were acquired by using scanning electronic microscope. The image processing operations were conducted for the preprocessing and the image converted into binary image. Then we developed programs based on the principle of changing megascopic degree and applied them to plot thelgN(δ)~lg(δ).The relationship betweenlgN(δ)andlg(δ)maintained linearity over a range [2,64] pixels. Therefore, the fractal dimensions of pore distributions were obtained from the negative slope by regression analysis. The experimental results showed that the fractal feature of the pore in eggshells was remarkable. The analysis confirmed that the blunt end of the eggshell in the pore distributions was more obvious than the sharp end and the equator.

We study the equation(∂/∂t)u(x,t)=c2⊕Bku(x,t)with the initial conditionu(x,0)=f(x)forx∈Rn+.The operator⊕Bkis the operator iterated k-times and is defined by⊕Bk=((∑i=1pBxi)4-(∑j=p+1p+qBxi)4)k, wherep+q=nis the dimension of theRn+,Bxi=∂2/∂xi2+(2vi/xi)(∂/∂xi),2vi=2αi+1,αi>-1/2,i=1,2,3,…,n, andkis a nonnegative integer,u(x,t)is an unknown function for(x,t)=(x1,x2,…,xn,t)∈Rn+×(0,∞),f(x)is a given generalized function, andcis a positive constant. We obtain the solution of such equation, which is related to the spectrum and the kernel, which is so called Bessel heat kernel. Moreover, such Bessel heat kernel has interesting properties and also related to the kernel of an extension of the heat equation.

Colonization processes have their continuation in the colonized person, a phenomenon studied by psychiatrists Fanon and Memmi in the 1960s. Currently, this phenomenon is defined as coloniality and is made up of three dimensions: the coloniality of power, knowledge and being. For this study, we wondered if the conquest of Andalusia continued in coloniality, and if so whether it has consequences today. To address these issues, we analyzed the coloniality of power and being and their consequences in the population of Alcalá de Guadaíra using the bibliographic sources that exist in that locality. The results indicate that it is a population with no history prior to the conquest, structured in poor workers and wealthy landowners, with collective trauma, sheltered in family and religion, and without cultural references. The current consequences of this coloniality are observed in the loss of historical heritage, the preservation of a fractured population of rich and poor, and no memory of the trauma experienced. The recovery of historical consciousness is identified as one of the keys to overcoming this coloniality

In this study, the elastic parameters of rabbit chondrocytes were determined from a sphere model (SM) of micropipette aspiration, in which the relative geometry of cell-micropipette and compressibility of cells were considered. Further, the influences of geometry parameterξ(ξ=R/a,Ris the radius of the cell, andais the inner radius of the micropipette) and Poissons ratioνof cell on the determination of elastic modulusEand bulk modulusKwere evaluated. The results indicated thatξhas marked effect on the calculation ofE, whereasνvarying from 0.2~0.4 is little influential onE. However, the variations ofνcan cause abrupt changes ofK, which may affect the subsequently viscoelastic analysis significantly. This study may be of use for more precise analysis of mechanical behaviors of cells.

A new two-dimensional analytical model for the capacitance-voltage and noise characteristics of a AlGaN/GaN MODFET is developed. The two-dimensional electron gas density is calculated as a function of device dimensions. The model includes the spontaneous and polarization effects. The contribution of various capacitances to the performance of the device is shown. The model further predicts the transconductance, drain conductance, and frequency of operation. A high transconductance of 160 mS/mm and a cut-off frequency of 11.6 GHz are obtained for a device of 50 nm gate length. The effect of gate length on the gate length behaviour of the noise coefficientsP,R, andCis also studied. The effect of parasitic source and gate resistance has also been studied to evaluate the minimum noise figure. The excellent agreement with the previously simulated results confirms the validity of the proposed model to optimize the device performance at high frequencies.

Neuronal networks are the standard heuristic model today for describing brain activity associated with animal behavior. Recent studies have revealed an extensive role for a completely distinct layer of networked activities in the brain—the gene regulatory network (GRN)—that orchestrates expression levels of hundreds to thousands of genes in a behavior-related manner. We examine emerging insights into the relationships between these two types of networks and discuss their interplay in spatial as well as temporal dimensions, across multiple scales of organization. We discuss properties expected of behavior-related GRNs by drawing inspiration from the rich literature on GRNs related to animal development, comparing and contrasting these two broad classes of GRNs as they relate to their respective phenotypic manifestations. Developmental GRNs also represent a third layer of network biology, playing out over a third timescale, which is believed to play a crucial mediatory role between neuronal networks and behavioral GRNs. We end with a special emphasis on social behavior, discuss whether unique GRN organization andcis-regulatory architecture underlies this special class of behavior, and review literature that suggests an affirmative answer.

The present work is a revision of corruption and the social effects it has on culture, poverty, gender and social organizations, interpreting these instances as integrative for the understanding of corruption as a phenomenon. Furthermore, the present work analyses the legal context of corruption in Paraguay. To address this, a literature review of current and topical research was carry it out, contextualizing the problem from a regional South American perspective and relating it to the efforts of the Paraguayan state with a focus on social corruption as described by various experts on the matter. In terms of the latter, the revision of the legal context of corruption in Paraguay creates an overview of the phenomenon, thus not only identifying the principal institutions, but also exposing their institutional evolution and the changes they represent in reality.

Bakgrund: Att utöva andlighet är ett allmänmänskligt behov och särskilt i livets slutskede kan andliga frågor aktualiseras. Patienter har rätt att bli bemötta i sina andliga behov och i tillgodoseendet av detta har sjuksköterskor ett viktigt ansvar. Trots detta saknas kunskap om vad andlig omvårdnad innebär och hur det kan erbjudas. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av andlig omvårdnad i palliativ vård. Metod: En litteraturöversikt där åtta kvalitativa studier analyserades och syntetiserades genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Fyra teman identifierades under studiens resultat; Sjuksköterskans förmågor, Sjuksköterskans förhållningssätt, Betydelsefulla komponenter i mötet mellan sjuksköterskan och patienten samt Sjuksköterskans upplevelse av mötet. Slutsatser: Sjuksköterskors förmågor och förhållningssätt visade sig vara viktiga förutsättningar för andlig omvårdnad och användes i mötet med patienter i livets slutskede för att etablera tillitsfulla relationer, kommunicera inkännande och ge villkorslöst stöd. Mötet med patienter i livets slutskede kunde ge upphov till känslor av både otillräcklighet och meningsfullhet för sjuksköterskor. Rekommendationer för fortsatt forskning är studier utförda i andra vårdkontexter än den palliativa.
Background: Practicing spirituality is a basic human need and especially at the end-of-life spiritual issues tend to get actualized. Patients have the right to have their spiritual needs met, and in ensuring this, nurses have an important responsibility. Despite this, knowledge about the meaning and provision of spiritual care are inadequate. Aim: To describe nurses’ experiences of spiritual care in a palliative care context. Method: A literature review analyzing and synthesizing eight qualitative studies using qualitative content analysis. Results: Four themes were identified in the result of the study; The nurses’ skills, The nurses’ attitudes, Significant components in the encounter between the nurse and the patient and The nurses’ experiences of the encounter. Conclusion: The nurses’ skills and attitudes showed to be important prerequisites in the provision of spiritual care and were used by the nurses in the encounter with patients at the end-of-life to establish trusting relationships, compassionately communicate and offer unconditional support. The encounter with patients at the end-of-life had the potential to provoke both feelings of inadequacy and meaningfulness for the nurses. Recommendations for future research are studies conducted in other caring contexts than the palliative one.

Vid allvarlig sjukdom och vid livets slutskede blir den andliga/existentiella dimensionen ofta påtaglig. Det ingår i sjuksköterskans omvårdnadsansvar att minska lidande och ge möjlighet till en värdig död. Detta ansvar kan uppfyllas genom att uppmärksamma, bedöma och åtgärda patientens andliga/existentiella behov. Syftet var att belysa den andliga/existentiella dimensionen i relationen mellan patient och sjuksköterska inom palliativ omvårdnad. Metoden som användes var en litteraturstudie av vetenskapliga artiklar som överensstämde med syfte och frågeställningar. Resultatet visade att sjuksköterskor ansåg det viktigt att tillgodose patientens andliga/existentiella behov men endast hälften gjorde så i praktiken. Orsaken var brist på kunskap och tid. Andliga/existentiella behov uttrycktes på multipla sätt och när dessa bemöttes och åtgärdades ökade patientens välbefinnande och livskvalitet. Tvärprofessionellt samarbete, stöd och utbildning till all personal är en förutsättning för att tillgodose patientens andliga/existentiella behov och ge en värdig palliativ vård. Ytterligare forskning inom området är önskvärt för att identifiera den palliativa patientens andliga/existentiella behov.

CIDA, the leading Canadian agency in the area of international assistance, is responsible for approximately 78% of the country's aid budget. The Agency's mandate to "support sustainable development in developing countries, in order to reduce poverty and contribute to a more secure, equitable, and prosperous world" indicates that the Agency is concerned with social and cultural factors. However, CIDA does not have any specific mechanisms or tools such as SIA to help achieve its social and cultural sustainability goals. The objectives of this thesis were: a) to develop an analytical framework for undertaking and analysing SIA, and b) to compare CIDA's SIA-related strategies, procedures and mechanisms as they stand now to what is stated in the literature, so as to indicate how and when the Agency uses them, and also to assess their quality and effectiveness. The overarching question that constituted the pillar of this thesis was a two-pronged question: Do CIDA's strategies, procedures and mechanisms equal SIA without being SIA? And are those strategies, procedures and mechanisms adequate to cover issues that are normally dealt with through traditional SIA? This question was answered through 1) the application of the analytical framework on two proposals submitted to CIDA, and 2) an analysis of CIDA's SIA-related procedures based on the framework, key informant interviews, and a review of the literature on the Agency's policies, guidelines, and practices. Based on the literature review, the application of the analytical framework, and on the comments of the informants, the need for an SIA-type procedure for assessing social and cultural effects and impacts for CIDA funding is suggested. Such a practice might very well clarify the Agency's requirements in relation to the consideration of social and cultural factors in the development of projects. Also, it is important to stress that the process should not be reduced to a bureaucratic procedure blindly applied. CIDA could go without formulating a distinct protocol for SIA, as it already has several project planning tools and procedures that could lend themselves very well to the purpose of SIA. Indeed, the Agency's results-based management (RBM) framework could be altered so as to make it more holistic in that it would take into consideration both intended and unintended effects and impacts, and would better take into account social and cultural factors. The application of the logical framework analysis (LFA) can also be expanded to achieve similar goals. Further, the Agency could focus on developing a more integrated and comprehensive type of impact assessment that would touch on all the required types of assessments.

The role of geometry and arithmetic in ancient building is common knowledge, but it has seldom been proved by measured drawing. This chapter looks for the remote origins of design criteria and ancient canons, and their application in representative antique and medieval architecture. Architectural design had to reflect the universal cosmic Order and Harmony and the ancient and medieval architect-designer had to rely on the same intangible instruments, i.e. the geometry and the arithmetic’s, created by the Divine Geometer. The geometry of forms and the numbers of quantities and dimensions served as a mayor instrument for developing coherent modulation in the design and the structure of the building and his environment. They also served as a symbol and an allegorical sign to convey intangible messages from the commissioner. Metric analysis reveals this evident design practices and their probable semantic content. This is illustrated in the analysis of six cases: the Cheops pyramid at Memphis, the Pantheon at Rome, the Charlemagne’s Palace Chapel at Aachen, the Our Lady’s Cathedral at Chartres, the S. Francis Basilica at Assisi and the Castel del Monte at Andria. This historic examples should inspire modern creative design and modern sustainable construction.
