This paper concerns the main results of an empirical study addressing 129 practitioners involved in Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) in Quebec. The author defines this type of program on the basis of the linkage between work structure and mental health issues. The linkage between health and work can be appraised through four different traditions: the struggle against alcoholism, work counselling, health and safety at work, and the quality of working life. The present EAP orientations, their organizational setting, and their dominant type of intervention can be related to a work counselling model. A union alternative approach, based on “union counselling” practice indicates a more community-based type of intervention. The conclusion is that both types of interventions are still quite far from a more organizational perspective, in which work structure would represent a salient factor influencing workers' mental health.

Perimortem cesarean is rare and one of the worst possible scenarios in obstetrics. Multidisciplinary approach and speed are extremely important. Pelvic packing in massive postpartum hemorrhages is a method which obstetricians do not commonly use. The patient who had cardiac arrest during travail was successfully managed with a peripartum hysterectomy and two different types of pelvic packing after perimortem cesarean. The mother and baby were healthily discharged. Fetal and maternal survival after perimortem cesarean is quite low. The most important factor determining survival is speed. Pelvic packing is effective in postpartum unstoppable bleeding.

AbstractThis paper uses the case of West China Union University's Sociology Department as an example to study the mutually beneficial relationships that generally prevailed between Protestant colleges in China and local governments during the Republican era (1912-1949). In most cases, Protestant colleges and local administrations shared a vision of modern urban society that led quite naturally to collaboration. Drawing from modernist theologizing about the city, West China's Sociology Department played an important role both in research on and social work in Chengdu. To theorize this cooperative relationship, this paper takes West China's sociological work as an instrument of globalizing modernity, which was changing the West in many of the same ways as the East. Cet article se penche sur le département de sociologie de la West China Union University afin d'étudier les relations mutuellement bénéfique qui se tissèrent entre les instituts de formation supérieure protestants et les gouvernements locaux en Chine durant la période républicaine (1912-1949). Dans la majorité des cas, les instituts protestants et les administrations locales avaient des vues convergentes sur la société moderne, ce qui entraina une collaboration naturelle entre les deux. S'inspirant de la pensée théologique moderniste sur les villes, le département de sociologie de l'université de la West China Union joua un rôle crucial aussi bien en termes de recherche que de travail social à Chengdu. Afin de théoriser cette relation de coopération, l'article considère le travail sociologique de l'université de la West China Union comme un instrument d'une modernité globalisante qui était en train de transformer le monde occidental de manière similaire à l'Asie.

Résumé Dans un ouvrage récent, le philosophe Bruno Karsenti propose une réinterprétation de l’étude que Sigmund Freud, au soir de sa vie, consacra à la figure de Moïse et à la questiondes origines du monothéisme. Cette relecture le conduit à esquisser, au sujet d’une idée cardinale de la politique moderne, celle de peuple, une généalogie alternative à celles quise centrent sur la notion grecque de demos. Elle l’amène également à discuter la théorie que développe Freud à propos des mécanismes psychosociaux (la répétition et le refoulement, notamment) assurant la transmission des traditions. De ces différentes analyses, on propose une lecture sociologiquement intéressée, et par conséquent volontairement décalée. Il s’agitde se demander quelles conséquences pour le travail d’enquête du sociologue peuvent avoir trois éclairages centraux offerts par l’ouvrage : le premier concerne le rôle joué par la transcendance dans l’organisation des rapports politiques au sein des sociétés modernes; le second touche à la fonction de la codification juridique dans les processus de légitimation en vigueur dans ces mêmes sociétés ; le dernier est relatif aux limites de l’approche psychanalytique s’agissant d’expliquer la genèse des idées religieuses.

Full textAbstract:
La revendication d’un domaine de la « communication publique » constitue une forme d’aboutissement d’un long processus de valorisation d’un domaine de compétence et d’exercice distinct d’autres professions proches et de reconnaissance d’une spécificité et d’un savoir-faire qui justifierait la revendication d’une labellisation en tant que profession. C’est en effet sous les termes de « communication publique » et de « communicants publics » que l’on désigne aujourd’hui en France un secteur d’activités pour l’essentiel constitué de professionnels rattachés aux institutions politiques et administratives. En combinant démarche compréhensive et objectivation, nous reviendrons, dans ce travail, sur les conditions sociopolitiques qui ont permis de poser progressivement, en France, les bases de reconnaissance de l’existence d’une « nouvelle » profession, pour nous intéresser ensuite aux enjeux de l’institutionnalisation des métiers de la communication publique à travers la contribution de la principale association de « professionnels de la communication publique » (Cap’Com), en mettant l’accent sur la portée et les limites de cette action ainsi que les modèles dont elle s’est inspirée pour son travail de légitimation professionnelle.
The identification of a specific field of “Public Communication” marks the end of a long process in which the existence of a set of skills quite distinct from those of other related and/or competing professions has finally been recognised. It also acknowledges the specific area of expertise that justifies its claim to be classed as a “profession”. Indeed, in France today the terms “public communication” and “public communicator” are used to denote a sector of the economy that is composed mainly of professional people working for political and administrative institutions. Approaching the subject comprehensively and objectively, this study examines the socio-political conditions that laid the foundations in France for the gradual recognition of a “new” profession. We then consider the issues surrounding the institutionalisation of public communication professions by looking at the contribution made by the principal association of “public communications professionals” (Cap’Com), while emphasising the extent and limits of its activities and the models that provided the inspiration for its work in placing the profession on a legitimate footing.

It is now six weeks since I stepped between the train and the platform at Frankfurt am Hain, rushing to catch the slightly delayed 17:34 train to Darmstadt Hauptbahnhof. I'm not sure why I was rushing – the first concert was not until 20:00, so I had plenty of time. My right foot fell through, and the front of my leg hit the step of the train quite hard. I thought it would bleed, but it didn't. It just turned to a very hard bruise (haematoma I was later told). You couldn't really see the raised bump with the eye, it wasn't sore, but if you ran your hand over my leg you could feel it. I had booked my train from Liverpool specifically so I could see Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's Vortex Temporum once more. I had seen it at Sadler's Wells and had been pleased, but was lucky enough to see Rosas performing Work/Travail/Arbeid as an installation at the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern. There, it was a revelation. Whether it was the space, the extra forces, or just the freedom to walk away, I was entranced. Best of all it was free. She was there herself, making comments, keeping an eye on things.

Full textAbstract:
The pre-history of a nineteenth-century composer's first opera often required labours more arduous and frustrating, more time-consuming by far, than the work of composition itself: the search for a suitable libretto or the source from which a libretto could be fashioned. The chronicle of Beethoven's travails before work on hisSchmerzenskindcould begin, his rejection of plays and poets both before and after the Bouilly-Sonnleithner text ofFidelio, is not the only instance of its kind. Later composers with operatic ambitions and without a court-sponsored coterie oflibrettistihad an even harder time. The difficulty of locating a good text was not the only or even the principal reason for Brahms's famous quip, ‘Better to marry than to write opera’, but it was certainly a contributing factor and a stumbling block for others. For those who, unlike Wagner, did not trust their own poetic skills, the doleful refrain, ‘A good poet is hard to find’, was a leitmotif more insistent than anything in theRing.

Full textAbstract:
In several iterations of the Gnostic ontogenetic myth, we find variations on an intriguing notion: namely, that the first rupture in the otherwise eternal and continuous procession of ‘aeons’ in the divine ‘pleroma’ is caused by a cognitive overreach and failure (the “fall of Sophia”). As much as it might contain a distant echo of certain myths concerning hubris in the classical tradition or in biblical literature, this general schema of cognitive overreach—cognitive failure—fall has no obvious parallel in Greek philosophy prior to Plotinus, in some of whose more pessimistic accounts of hypostatic procession we find a similar schema, in which the generation of each ontological stratum occurs as the result of a cognitive failure on the superjacent level. If Plotinus borrowed this schema from the Gnostics, one might ask how the latter came up with it in the first place. In response, this paper makes the following three points. [1] Gnostic thinkers ultimately derived this schema from a particular juxtaposition of two profoundly aporetic Platonic passages referring to the travails of the individual soul, one certainly genuine (the description of the unexplained but catastrophic fall of the soul that fails to follow the heavenly train of the gods through the intelligible realm at Phaedrus 248c2-d3), the other quite possibly spurious (the claim that the cause of all evils is the desire, and the failure, of the soul to understand the nature of the notoriously enigmatic ‘King,’ ‘Second,’ and ‘Third,’ at 2nd Letter 312e1-313a6). [2] The Platonizing Sethian Gnostics closest to Plotinus also employed this latter source text to justify their conception of the individual soul, whose vicissitudes were understood to parallel those of Sophia. [3] This hypothesis is confirmed by evidence of tacit anti-Gnostic argumentation alluding to the 2nd Letter throughout Plotinus’ oeuvre.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAgricultural programme planners have commonly assumed that, to adopt new crops and inputs, small-scale farmers need financial loans, and that private land titles help them to borrow by providing a form of collateral for mortgages. The experience of the over 2 million Luo people and others in Kenya shows how inappropriate this theory can be in a tropical African context.With a land-holding system based on patriliny, the hosting of in-laws, and other principles, Luo tend to live among kin. They continue to justify land claims largely by labour, by the presence of ancestral graves, and by the group membership these represent. These patterns persist despite individual titling by the government since the 1950s. Financial institutions trying to foreclose on defaulters, and buyers trying then to move on to those lands, face stiff social a~hd political resistance, sometimes violent. The government land register obsolesces, and double-dealing proliferates. The mortgage system breaks down.Other problems in exogenous finance are legion. Credit means debt. It also means patronage, at international, national, or local levels. Neither public nor private financial institutions have overcome the great cultural, political, or pragmatic difficulties of lending to small farmers for staple food cropping or most other farm activities. These people have important debts and obligations of their own already, some quite subtle and some long-term. The promise of more loans, the most commonly cited justification for freehold tenure, proves largely illusory in western Kenya, as in many other rural parts of tropical Africa. Aid strategies based on saving and investment, and on non-financial intervention, hold more promise.RésuméCeux qui ont établi la planification agricole ont assumé de facon générate que, pour adopter les nouvelles cultures et ressources, les fermiers à petite échelle ont besoin de prêts financiers, et que le titre de propriétaire leur permet d'emprunter en constituant une sorte d'engagement pour une hypothéque. L'exemple du peuple Luo de plus de deux millions et des autres au Kenya, montre que cette théorie n'est pas due tout appropriee dans le contexte d'une Afrique tropicale.En raison d'un systeme foncier basé sue l'héritage père-fils, le recueillement des belles-families, et d'autres principes, les Luo ont tendance à vivre en communaute familiale. Us continuent à justifier leurs demandes de terres essentiellement par leur travail effectué, par la présence des tombes ancestrales, et par l'appartenance au groupe que celles-ci représentent. Ces modèles persistent, même depuis que le gouvemement a attribué des titres de propriété individuels à partir des années 1950. Les institutions financières qui tentent de saisir les débiteurs, et les acheteurs qui essaient de prendre possession de ces terres, se heurtent à une résistance ferme à la fois sociale et politique, et parfois même violente. Le registre des terres du gouvemement tombe en désuetude, et le procédé du double-jeu prolifère. Le système de l'emprunt s'effondre.Les autres problèmes en finance exogène sont multiples. Le credit est un signe de dette. II signifie aussi le patronage, aux niveaux international, national, ou local. Aucunes institutions financières publiques ou privées n'ont pu surmonter les grandes difficultés culturelles, politiques ou pragmatiques pour prêter à de petits fermiers pour la production alimentaire de base ou la plupart des autres activités de la ferme. Ces gens ont déjà leurs propres dettes de reconnaissance, à plus ou moins long terme. La promesse d'emprunts supplémentaires, ce qui est le plus regulièrement utilisé pour justifier la propriété fonciére libre, se revèle être fortement illusoire dans le Kenya de l'ouest, comme dans beaucoup d'autres régions de l'Afrique tropicale. Les stratégies d'aides basées sur l'épargne et l'investissement, ainsi que sur des interventions non financieres donnent plus d'espérances.

Full textAbstract:
An advertising campaign from Marketing Greece during the COVID-19 pandemic urged international travelers to “#staysafe” during the difficult times, while images of the idyllic Greek Islands allowed viewers to continue to dream and plan an escape to the stunningly beautiful country of Greece. Clever, one might think, sharing the message with the international tourist that better days are surely coming, while urging them to stay safe in the meantime. Yet some suggested that promoting tourism during the pandemic was borderline irresponsible (Spinks, 2020). In fact, quite a few destinations even campaigned against tourism – Visit Wales, for example, urged travelers to stay away. How should the travel industry have responded to this crisis? What was the correct tone of message? And what would persuade travelers to venture out of their homes once the coast was clear? This chapter will explore such issues, in addition to examining internal communications strategies employed by the industry during the pandemic.

Start with the trips people make from home to work, and then back home again. Each commute reflects choices of where to live, where to work, when to work, when to go home, how to get from home to work, and what side trips to make along the way. Each decision depends on the opportunities available, with those in turn explained by the characteristics, resources, and values of workers, their families, their employers, other travelers, and of course the built environment of sidewalks, streets, bus routes, and rail lines connecting home to work. Nonwork trips, the great majority of trips in modern times, entail even more finely detailed mosaics of people, places, and the variety of things one obtains, or hopes to obtain, by going somewhere. Travel is the outcome of a grand confluence of human and other factors, many systematic and many others not. It will never be fully understood. But because travel poses numerous challenges, and opportunities, it would be good to understand more. Planning strategies to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality continue to get prominent attention. Several increasingly influential efforts emphasize the potentially mitigating role of the built environment. For example, a good deal has been made in recent years of the fact that people drive less and walk more in downtown San Francisco than in suburbs anywhere. Part of this observed behavior is no doubt attributable to the kinds of people living there, people who prefer and indeed seek out the many benefits—travel and otherwise—of a diverse, high-density, mixed-use environment. But many observers have also asked, quite reasonably, if it would not make sense to design suburbs and other neighborhoods to be more like downtown San Francisco, or more like whatever it is about those places that leads people to drive less. Perhaps then people in suburbs and elsewhere would drive less and walk more. And perhaps that would lead to improvements in traffic congestion, air quality, and other transportation problems associated with the automobile.

This chapter documents Ley’s importance as a cultural producer, at a time when popular culture became saturated with images of rockets and space travel. From television’s Tom Corbett, Space Cadet to the design of Disneyland’s “Tomorrowland,” Ley was an ever-present figure, working behind the scenes. This chapter revisits themes of Ley’s romantic science, as it analyzes enchanted representations of spaceflight in popular media.

As a recent White Paper on skiers stated, “adults who take ski trips, quite simply, are a distinct and special bunch” (PhocusWright, 2013, p.8). The report found that, in the U.S., a higher proportion of ski travelers are male, younger and more affluent, compared to the general traveler population. Downhill skiing is the most common form of the sport, but many skiers participate in more than one type of skiing. Figure 3.1 shows participation rates for a five-year period in six winter sports activities. According to PhocusWright, downhill skiers make up about 58 per cent of participants on the slopes and snowboarders 25 per cent (the remainder both ski and snowboard). Whereas general U.S. travelers are evenly split between male and female – with women frequently taking a lead in travel planning and therefore attracting considerable attention from travel marketers – this is not the case with skiers and boarders. About two thirds of them are male, under 45, and, perhaps of most importance to travel marketers, high earners.

Xavier Marmier's vast output, the variety of his achievements, and his celebrity status made him an influential figure in nineteenth-century France. In retrospect, his greatest achievement was probably as an initiator in bringing an awareness of foreign literatures and cultures to France; but his contribution is so vast that it is impossible to summarise it succinctly. Although he is now generally neglected, his name still occurs quite frequently, most often in studies of comparative literature analysing the introduction of a particular author or culture to France. Some of his travel narratives are slowly being recognised today as important social documents of the ways in which people lived in particular countries.

Full textAbstract:
The narratives written by pilgrims who travelled from Venice to the Holy Land provide quite a rich source of information about Albania and its coastal territory during the fifteenth century. This was the period when Western interest in Albania was stimulated by Skanderbeg’s revolt against Ottoman rule. However, the Albanian lands were mostly untravelled and unknown by outsiders; after the city of Shkodër was conquered by the Ottomans (from Venice), only the Venetian-ruled port-city of Durrës was visited. The pilgrim narratives supply some first-hand descriptions of that city, but they also record the second-hand knowledge that circulated about other parts of the coastline, including the territory of Himarë with its notoriously fierce inhabitants. The dangers of travel down this part of the Adriatic coast are also vividly illustrated: the pilgrims feared Ottoman naval vessels, pirate attacks, and sudden storms.

This chapter looks at how tundra swans arrived the day before Thanksgiving in the town of Island Lake in Wisconsin. Navigating by the stars and their memory of earth's moonlit landscape, they came, traveling from their summer breeding grounds in shallow pools, lakes, and rivers in the Arctic toward their winter residence in Chesapeake Bay and the marshes of Virginia and North Carolina. Tundra swans, which used to be called whistling swans for the sounds their wings make in flight, often travel in groups of several hundred. According to an Audubon guide, “they present a spectacular sight” when they make mass landings in places like the Niagara River. Like adolescents not quite ready to leave home, cygnets remain with the parent flock for at least a year, learning the route and where to feed and rest.

The story of the first measurement of the speed of light by Ole Roemer in 1676. Galileo had discovered the moons of Jupiter with his new telescope, and proposed using observations of their eclipse every forty-two hours as a universal clock for our planet, since they could be seen from practically anywhere. This would keep track of the time at home, and so give a traveller his or her local longitude. (The King of Spain had offered a prize for longitude determination to avoid disasterous shipwrecks.) Roemer noticed that the eclipses were sometimes a little late, which he concluded was due to the time it took light to get from Saturn to Earth and the movement of the Earth between eclipses. His estimate of the time for light to travel from the Sun to Earth was quite accurate. Roemer’s remarkable life story and many other achievements are told.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on air travel, perhaps the most notorious venue of the security apparatus. We learn once again from the appliances and procedures, this time of the especially elaborate system of precautions in the post-9/11 world of flight, that much, in concept as well as in the detail, is quite beside the point. And some of it, as per pattern, runs counter to making things safe at all. The choices that have been made are just that, choices—explicable in the specifics of their moment in the United States' political and moral history. The chapter offers up alternative ways to deal with the fear of others' flying, ways that at the same time enhance other human goals, simple ones like convenience and complex ones like contentment. The trick is to offer a response to fear of flying through less odious forms of intervention—and indeed enhancements of pleasure.

Full textAbstract:
A study was conducted to investigate the impacts of various ocean surface wave effects on ray path arrival times between an acoustic source and receiver. Observations collected during 2003 showed arrival time variations up to 6 ms over ∼30 s intervals. Numerical experiments were performed to see if these variations could be accounted for by wave-induced background currents, the Doppler effect resulting from surface motion due to waves, and changes in path lengths due to sea level variations due to waves. The simulations gave maximum impacts on travel times of < 1 ms. The Doppler effect was quite small, with the effect of the wave-induced currents at times being ∼3 times larger than the Doppler effect. The greatest effect on travel times was the change in path length due to wave-induced sea level changes. The work suggests that the larger observed arrival time variations are a result of some phenomenon that occasionally masks ray paths between a source and receiver. Based on the numerical experiments and observations, a paradigm is put forward to best determine arrival times.

Full textAbstract:
Housing and transportation has become a pair of factors when it comes to decision of buying a house for the middle-income. This particular group of society is unique as they are aspired to luxury yet with limited affordability, particularly in the developing countries such as Indonesia. In many cases, housing estates are built in the form similar to gated community. Built in the suburban when usually the new housing estates are located quite in far distance to facilities, the residents are forced to own private vehicle(s) to conduct their daily activities. This situation shows the tendency of automobile dependence (Newman & Kenworthy, 1996; 1999). It has also been reflected in the vehicle ownership statistics figures and the notorious traffic congestion of Indonesian cities. The middle-income housing and their gated community has not only impacted their own travel pattern but also the residents living in kampung adjacent to their housing estate. Kampung dwellers have also reflected the middle-income characteristics with their lifestyle and automobile dependence. It has become eminent in suburban Bandung where pockets of kampung are found to be hidden amidst the housing estates whilst cars are parked on the roadsides. This is problematic in terms of affordability where they cannot really afford to own a car or motorbike as well as to rent a parking space since they usually live in small houses at kampung. To understand the above phenomenon, this paper tries to explore the extent of automobile dependency of the residents living at housing estate and its adjacent kampung at three locations. Data collected from questionnaires and group interviews are descriptively analysed. Results have shown that most residents travel in far distance to reach their job location but do not travel in far distance to conduct their shopping, studying, and exercise activities though some of them own a motorbike. The latter is due to the presence of mobile green grocers, warung, traditional markets, good quality schools, sport facilities and open spaces within walking distance to their houses. However, these nearby facilities are regularly visited mostly because the residents can travel within shorter distance through access points made available for public use. These access points help to create a network of alleys and streets connecting kampung and these facilities through the housing estates. When these access points are restricted or non-existed, the travel pattern would differ as has been uttered by the kampung dwellers. In one of the cases, the following disconnections between the kampung alleys and streets of housing estates have made the kampung dwellers altered either the location or the transportation mode of their activities. There are lessons to be learned from these travel patterns. Housing estate development shall always have access to the kampung that have existed and vice versa. Such spatial connections may contribute to a change of travel behaviour from automobile dependence to active travel. However, it should be kept in mind that these results may not be generally applicable to other places with different socio-economic and spatial characters. Further work in the field may be benefited from more cases and larger population sample.

Full textAbstract:
Most modern spark ignited (SI) internal combustion engines maintain their air-to-fuel ratio (AFR) at a desired level to maximize the three-way catalyst conversion efficiency and to extend its life. However, maintaining the engine AFR during its transient operation is quite challenging due to rapid changes of driver demands. Conventional transient AFR control is based upon the inverse dynamics of the engine port-fuel-injection well-wetting dynamics and the measured mass air flow rate. This paper develops a dynamic linear quadratic (LQ) tracking controller to regulate the AFR using a control oriented model of the wall wetting dynamics of a port fuel injector (PFI) and estimated transport delays of the airflow travel and throttle dynamics. The LQ tracking controller is designed to optimally track the measured airflow through the throttle during engine transients over a given time interval. The performance of the optimal LQ tracking controller was compared with the conventional inverse fueling dynamics through simulations and showed improvement over the baseline controller.

"COVID" or immunity passports are classified as one of the reactions to the world pandemic and its suppression at the international level. Given that implications of this document, its legal nature, the manner of exercising the right to it, etc., are still not quite clear, various dilemmas may arise regarding this document. Also, how much will another bureaucratic obligation in connection with the organization of travel affect tourism, which has suffered incredible financial losses in the past year? It is very difficult to predict the direction of development of tourism and tourist services, especially not after the adoption of the basic rules that will concern "COVID" passports. There are dilemmas about this document in the legal sense, as well as in the sense of its obligation - will each state individually decide whether it is obligatory to enter in it or will it be one of the obligations of everyone at the international level?

Full textAbstract:
The Arctic plays a key role in the economic development of Russia. This region is fabulously rich with hydrocarbons and biological resources. One of the strategic goals in commercialization of the Arctic region is setting up of efficient transportation systems for year round navigation via the Northern Sea Route (NSR) to support shipment of various cargoes [1]. According to the latest studies, cargo vessels should be able to travel through NSR at speeds reaching 12 knots to make it a commercially competitively route. Highspeed moving can allow NSR to become competitive route as compared to the southbound route via Suez. It should be noted that ice conditions on this route are quite severe. Navigation in NSR of even ice-capable cargo carriers with icebreaker assistance will enable to increase the effectiveness of this shortcut shipping itinerary between Europe and the Pacific coast. For this purpose a novel nuclear Leader icebreaker has been designed, which, according to model tests in the Krylov Centre ice basin, will be able to sail in 2-meter continuous ice at 12 knots. The investigations of ship performance in ice at fast speeds are quite new and should be conducted very carefully. This paper focuses on some specific features of dynamic behaviour predicted for an icebreaker and a large-size vessel led by this icebreaker during speedy sailing in ice. It also discusses other important issues related to minimum power level requirement for vessels operating under these conditions as well as due account of the hydrodynamic resistance component in ice performance predictions.

Full textAbstract:
Asynchronous web based instruction, more commonly known as online education or distance learning, has been available for some time. This technology has brought education within the reach of many who would otherwise be unable to attend live classes. Time schedules and distance no longer have a bearing on attending a course. Even group projects are manageable with email and discussion groups. Many courses convert quite well to the online format, and studies have shown that students can learn as much from online courses as from live courses. In many cases, multiple course certificate programs and even some complete degree programs are offered online. As inviting as online courses may be, they do have their limitations, especially classes with a laboratory component. A number of institutions have offered laboratory-based classes in an online format with varying degrees of complexity and success. In some cases, students travel to the institution a limited number of times for extensive laboratory experiences while other institutions use what might best be described as virtual reality based systems. This paper discusses Purdue University Calumet’s first laboratory-based online course, MFET 275, Computer Numerical Control Programming Application. A combination of technologies makes this course successful and effective. Development procedures for this course along with technology used, online pedagogy issues, and course assessment are covered in this paper. Suggestions for future course development complete the discussion.

By using a comparison approach, this article examines the current features of domestic tourism in Lithuania. Various aspects of domestic tourism are analysed and discussed. The aim of this study is to identify current trends specific to the Lithuanian domestic tourism sector and propose potential means of development. The methods of statistical analysis, graphic representation and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) were used in the research. The analysed period was 2004 through 2014. The comparison between outbound tourism and domestic tourism consumption shows, that outbound tourists’ consumption is considerably high compared to domestic tourists’ consumption. However domestic tourism is much less sensitive to crises; it is quite stable and important segment in Lithuanian tourism industry. If to compare tourism consumption, two products show significant upward trend: Sport and other entertainment services since 2010 and Cultural services since 2011. After 2008 year recession domestic tourism sector revives, tourists expenditure reached pre-crisis level, although the increase of same-day visitors’ expenditure is slightly. In the regions of Lithuania same-day tourism opportunities are well-exploited; however, overnight tourism possibilities are not well developed. On the basis of the DEA method it can be concluded that in Telsiai county it is purposeful to improve the activity of museums and travel agents’ work, and in Alytus, Panevezys, Siauliai, Taurage, Telsiai counties it is best to improve the attractiveness/appeal of regional parks.

Full textAbstract:
Logging-while-drilling (LWD) acoustic imaging technology emerged in the past few years as a low-cost solution to detect and characterize fractures in high-angle and horizontal wells. This type of imaging tool works in either water-based or oil-based drilling fluids, making it a competitive choice for logging unconventional shale wells, which are often drilled with oil-based mud. With high-resolution acoustic amplitude and travel-time images, fractures, bedding planes and other drilling-related features can be identified, providing new insights for reservoir characterization and wellbore geomechanics. The quality of LWD acoustic images however is directly affected by drilling parameters and borehole conditions, as the received signal is sensitive to formation property and wellbore changes at the same time. As a result, interpretation can be quite challenging, and caution needs to be taken to differentiate actual formation property changes from drilling-related features or image artifacts. This paper demonstrates the complexity of interpreting LWD acoustic images through multiple case studies. The examples were collected from vertical and horizontal wells in multiple shale plays in North America, with the images logged and processed by different service companies. Depending on the geology and borehole conditions, various features and artifacts were observed from the images, which can be used as a reference for geologists and petrophysicists. Images acquired with different drilling parameters were compared to show the effect of drilling conditions on image quality. Recommendations and best practices of using this new type of image log are also shared.

Full textAbstract:
The COVID - 19 pandemic that swept the world in 2020 and the reactions of state authorities to it are unparalleled events in modern history. In order to protect public health, states have limited a number of fundamental human rights that individuals have in accordance with national constitutions and international conventions. The focus of this paper is the right of access to abortion in the Member States of the European Union. In Europe, the situation with regard to the recognition of women's right to abortion is quite clear. All member states of the European Union, with the exception of Poland and Malta, recognize the rather liberal right of a woman to have an abortion in a certain period of time after conception. However, Malta and Poland, as members of the European Union, since abortion is seen as a service, must not hinder the travel of women abroad to have an abortion, nor restrict information on the provision of abortion services in other countries. In 2020, a pandemic highlighted all the weaknesses of this regime by preventing women from traveling to more liberal countries to perform abortions, thus calling into question their right to choose and protect their sexual and reproductive rights. This is not only the case in Poland and Malta, but also in countries that recognize the right to abortion but make it conditional on certain non-medical conditions, such as compulsory counselling; and the mandatory time period between applying for and performing an abortion; in situations present in certain countries where the problem of a woman exercising the right to abortion is a large number of doctors who do not provide this service based on their right to conscience. The paper is divided into three parts. The aim of the first part of the paper is to consider all the legal difficulties that women face in accessing abortion during the COVID -19 pandemic, restrictions that affect the protection of their dignity, right to life, privacy and right to equality. In the second part of the paper particular attention will be paid to the illiberal tendencies present in this period in some countries of Central and Eastern Europe, especially Poland. In the third part of the paper, emphasis will be put on the situation in Malta where there is a complete ban on abortion even in the case when the life of a pregnant woman is in danger.

Full textAbstract:
Investment in transportation infrastructure projects generates benefits, both direct and indirect. While emissions reductions, crash reductions, and travel time savings are prominent direct benefits, there are indirect benefits in the form of real estate enhancements that could pay off debt or loan incurred in the improvement of the infrastructure itself. Studies have shown that improvements associated with rail transportation (such as station upgrades) trigger an increase in the surrounding real estate values, increasing both the opportunity for monetary gains and, ultimately, property tax collections. There is plenty of available guidance that provides blueprints for benefits calculations for operational improvements in rail transportation. However, resources are quite limited in the analysis of benefits that accrue from the separation of railroad at-grade crossings. Understanding the impact of separation in a neighborhood with high employment or population could generate revenues through increased tax collections. In California, the research need is further amplified by a lack of guidance from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) on at-grade crossing for separation based on revenue generated. There is a critical need to understand whether grade separation projects could impact neighboring real estate values that could potentially be used to fund such separations. With COVID-19, as current infrastructure spending in California is experiencing a reboot, an approach more oriented to benefits and costs for railroad at-grade separation should be explored. Thus, this research uses a robust benefits-to-cost analysis (BCA) to probe the economic impacts of railroad at-grade separation projects. The investigation is carried out across twelve railroad-highway at-grade crossings in California. These crossings are located at Francisquito Ave., Willowbrook/Rosa Parks Station, Sassafras St., Palm St., Civic Center Dr., L St., Spring St. (North), J St., E St., H St., Parkmoor West, and Nursery Ave. The authors found that a majority of the selected at-grade crossings analyzed accrue high benefits-to-cost (BC) ratios from travel time savings, safety improvements, emissions reductions, and potential revenue generated if property taxes are collected and used to fund such separation projects. The analysis shows that with the estimated BC ratios, the railroad crossing at Nursery Ave. in Fremont, Palm St. in San Diego, and H St. in Chula Vista could be ideal candidates for separation. The methodology presented in this research could serve as a handy reference for decision-makers selecting one or more at-grade crossings for the separation considering economic outputs and costs.
