Viktor E. Frankl, Prophet der heutigen dringenden Notwendigkeit der Erziehung. Richtlinien und Vorschläge zur Überwindung der Existenzleere

Suvremeni čovjek susreće se s brojnim problemima koji izravno obilježavaju njegov osobni život. To su, među ostalim, privremenost, fatalizam, kolektivizam i fanatizam.

Psihologija i srodne znanosti, ali i crkvena zajednica pozvane su pomoći čovjeku da se suprotstavi redukcionizmu i da se bude sposoban pokrenuti, mijenjati i odlučivati. Tome, kao što tvrdi i V. E.

Design and evaluation of a custom ZigBee platform

Wireless sensor networks o er signi cant advantages over wired solutions, including savings in installation and maintenance costs. The ZigBee stack speci es additional application and networking layers to be used with the IEEE 802.15.4 low-rate wireless personal area network standard. A custom hardware and software platform is detailed, and measurements are performed to characterise the platform. Packet Error Rate (PER) measurements for both a star network and a multi-hop network show that the PER increases as the number of devices simultaneously transmitting increases. The maximum goodput (data payload bits transmitted over time) attained is 37 kb/s. Latency measurements show an increase in microcontroller clock speed will reduce message generation and deconstruction processing time. Device lifetime estimations show the signi cant e ect of the chosen regulator's quiescent current, reducing device lifetime when using a 9 V, 500 mAh battery from 49 days to 8 days when excluding regulator current. Valid sensor results require monitoring the device power supply, as a failing power supply in uences sensor measurements whilst successful radio transmission is still possible. Devices lasted up to 71 % of the predicted lifetime

La Trascendenza, base della cura personale e sociale (Inquietudine esistenziale e religiosità personalizzata nel pensiero di Viktor E. Frankl)

Personal and social care requires discovering and clarifying anthropological motivations in existential situations. These are anchored by the search for meaning of life’s values. In other words, the essence of personal and social care is made up, on the one hand, by the fight against existential vacuum; on the other, by rediscovering the values, mostly religious, recognised as significant for one’s existence.La cura personale e sociale richiede l’individuazione e la chiarificazione di motivazioni antropologiche radicate in situazioni esistenziali che si rivelano ancorate alla ricerca di significato nei valori della vita. In altri termini, l’essenza della cura personale e sociale è costituita sia dalla lotta al vuoto esistenziale e sia dalla riscoperta dei valori, soprattutto religiosi, ritenuti significativi per la propria sussistenza. &nbsp

Average energy dissipated by mega-electron-volt hydrogen and helium ions per electron-hole pair generation in 4H-SiC

The pulse height response for He and H ions with energies between 1 and 6 MeV incident upon n-type 4H-SiC epitaxial Schottky diodes has been investigated. The average amount of energy, ε, given up by the incident radiation to form electron-hole pair in this material was obtained by comparison with the average energy loss per pair in silicon detectors and it was found to be (7.78±0.05)eV at room temperature. This value is smaller than that foreseen by Klein's semiempirical linear relationship between ε and the semiconductor band gap

iPad use in stroke neuro-rehabilitation

Neuro-rehabilitation services are essential in reducing post-stroke impairments, enhancing independence, and improving recovery in hospital and post-discharge. However these services are therapist-dependent and resource intensive. Patients’ disengagement and boredom in stroke units are common which adversely affect functional and psychological outcomes. Novel techniques such as use of iPads™ are increasingly researched to overcome such challenges. The aim of this review is to determine the feasibility, effectiveness, acceptability, and barriers to the use of iPads™ in stroke neuro-rehabilitation. Four databases and manual literature search were used to identify published studies using the terms “iPad”, “Stroke”, and “neuro-rehabilitation”. Studies were included in accordance with the review selection criteria. A total of 16 articles were included in the review. The majority of the studies focused on iPads use in speech and language therapy. Although of small scale, the studies highlighted that iPads are feasible, have the potential to improve rehabilitation outcomes, and can improve patient’s social isolation. Patients’ stroke severity and financial limitations are some of the barriers highlighted in this review. This review presents preliminary data supportive for the use of iPad technology in stroke neuro-rehabilitation. However, further research is needed to determine impact on rehabilitation goals acquisition, clinical efficacy, and cost-efficiency

Lateral IBIC analysis of GaAs Schottky diodes

Abstract Charge collection efficiency (CCE) profiles of a semi-insulating (SI) gallium arsenide LEC (Liquid Encapsulated Czochralski) Schottky diode have been investigated by lateral Ion Beam Induced Charge collection (IBIC) technique. A focussed 2.4 MeV proton microbeam was scanned over the cleaved surface of a SI-GaAs diode and the charge collection efficiency was evaluated as a function of the ion beam position at different bias voltages. By fitting the CCE profiles with the equations derived by the Shockley–Ramo–Gunn's theorem, drift lengths of electrons and holes were obtained. Experimental results are consistent with previous OBIC (Optical Beam Induced Current) and SP (Surface Potential) measurements and confirm the model based on the formation of a Mott barrier due to the enhanced electron capture cross section in high field conditions

Photocurrent study of beta-ray priming in CVD diamond

Priming by X-rays or by beta-rays is generally needed in order to qualify CVD diamond for nuclear detection or for dosimetry. The priming effect is usually attributed in filling the hole traps, which are responsible for the charge collection efficiency of the detector. Emptying the filled traps can be easily detected by Thermoluminescence (TL), which is considered to be a measure of the absorbed dose. In this work, we prove that below-gap photocurrent (BGPC) can also be used in the same way and it is dominated by the optical detrapping of holes from the same centers. Time dependence of this beta-rays induced persistent photocurrent (PPC), which in fact, depends only on the total number of photons impinging onto the sample. In fact, at long times or for large number of photons, the photocurrent approaches to the same limit of PC for a null dose. The hole trapping centers distribution seems to extend from 1.25 to 2.5 eV valence band
