A relationship between the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test 2.0 mathematics scores and racial and ethnic concentration when considering socio-economic status, ESOL student population, and school climate

From the moment children are born, they begin a lifetime journey of learning about themselves and their surroundings. With the establishment of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, it mandates that all children receive a high-quality education in a positive school climate. Regardless of the school the child attends or the neighborhood in which the child lives, proper and quality education and resources must be provided and made available in order for the child to be academically successful. The purpose of this ex post facto study was to investigate the relationship between the FCAT 2.0 mathematics scores of public middle school students in Miami-Dade County, Florida and the concentrations of a school's racial and ethnic make-up (Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics), English for Speakers of other Languages (ESOL) population, socio-economic status (SES), and school climate. The research question of this study was: Is there a significant relationship between the FCAT 2.0 Mathematics scores and racial and ethnic concentration of public middle school students in Miami-Dade County when controlling SES, ESOL student population, and school climate for the 2010-2011 school year? The instruments used to collect the data were the FCAT 2.0 and Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) School Climate Survey. The study found that Economically Disadvantaged (SES) students socio-economic status had the strongest correlation with the FCAT 2.0 mathematics scores (r = -.830). The next strongest correlation was with the number of students who agreed that their school climate was positive and helped them learn (r = .741) and the third strongest correlation was a school percentage of White students (r = .668). The study concluded that the FCAT 2.0 mathematics scores of M-DCPS middle school students have a significant relationship with socio-economic status, school climate, and racial concentration.

Regulation and Social Media: Speed Bumps or the Code 2.0

“Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather (…)” (Barlow 1996). Barlow’s declaration of independence of February 8 1996 was an expression of the libertarian approaches that have run through the Internet since its inception, and is the root of the misapprehension that the internet is somehow unregulated by state sovereignty. But why was it published that day? What happened?

Fútbol y redes sociales. Análisis de la gestión de Relaciones Públicas 2.0 por los clubes de fútbol

Las relaciones públicas se configuran como una actividad esencial en la gestión de la comunicación con los públicos de los clubes de fútbol ya que son muy activos y su grado de reactividad es alto. Con este texto se analiza el papel que desempeñan las redes sociales en los clubes de fútbol que poseen mayor número de ingresos. Para ello, se desarrolla una metodología que estudia qué presencia tienen en las redes sociales, el número de seguidores, qué grado de interacción se produce entre clubes y públicos y los contenidos y las temáticas de los textos de las redes sociales. Los resultados muestran un público activo pero con intervenciones relacionadas con los resultados futbolísticos y una gestión comunicativa unidireccional por parte de los clubes.

A green perspective on Structured parallel programming

Structured parallel programming, and in particular programming models using the algorithmic skeleton or parallel design pattern concepts, are increasingly considered to be the only viable means of supporting effective development of scalable and efficient parallel programs. Structured parallel programming models have been assessed in a number of works in the context of performance. In this paper we consider how the use of structured parallel programming models allows knowledge of the parallel patterns present to be harnessed to address both performance and energy consumption. We consider different features of structured parallel programming that may be leveraged to impact the performance/energy trade-off and we discuss a preliminary set of experiments validating our claims.

Capital 2.0 capital formation and legal risk in a new global economic order from fiat to exit: including case studies of the proposed transatlantic trade and investment partnership between the United States and the European Union and the financing relation between the United States and the People’s Republic of China

Following the intrinsically linked balance sheets in his Capital Formation Life Cycle, Lukas M. Stahl explains with his Triple A Model of Accounting, Allocation and Accountability the stages of the Capital Formation process from FIAT to EXIT. Based on the theoretical foundations of legal risk laid by the International Bar Association with the help of Roger McCormick and legal scholars such as Joanna Benjamin, Matthew Whalley and Tobias Mahler, and founded on the basis of Wesley Hohfeld’s category theory of jural relations, Stahl develops his mutually exclusive Four Determinants of Legal Risk of Law, Lack of Right, Liability and Limitation. Those Four Determinants of Legal Risk allow us to apply, assess, and precisely describe the respective legal risk at all stages of the Capital Formation Life Cycle as demonstrated in case studies of nine industry verticals of the proposed and currently negotiated Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership between the United States of America and the European Union, TTIP, as well as in the case of the often cited financing relation between the United States and the People’s Republic of China. Having established the Four Determinants of Legal Risk and its application to the Capital Formation Life Cycle, Stahl then explores the theoretical foundations of capital formation, their historical basis in classical and neo-classical economics and its forefathers such as The Austrians around Eugen von Boehm-Bawerk, Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich von Hayek and most notably and controversial, Karl Marx, and their impact on today’s exponential expansion of capital formation. Starting off with the first pillar of his Triple A Model, Accounting, Stahl then moves on to explain the Three Factors of Capital Formation, Man, Machines and Money and shows how “value-added” is created with respect to the non-monetary capital factors of human resources and industrial production. Followed by a detailed analysis discussing the roles of the Three Actors of Monetary Capital Formation, Central Banks, Commercial Banks and Citizens Stahl readily dismisses a number of myths regarding the creation of money providing in-depth insight into the workings of monetary policy makers, their institutions and ultimate beneficiaries, the corporate and consumer citizens. In his second pillar, Allocation, Stahl continues his analysis of the balance sheets of the Capital Formation Life Cycle by discussing the role of The Five Key Accounts of Monetary Capital Formation, the Sovereign, Financial, Corporate, Private and International account of Monetary Capital Formation and the associated legal risks in the allocation of capital pursuant to his Four Determinants of Legal Risk. In his third pillar, Accountability, Stahl discusses the ever recurring Crisis-Reaction-Acceleration-Sequence-History, in short: CRASH, since the beginning of the millennium starting with the dot-com crash at the turn of the millennium, followed seven years later by the financial crisis of 2008 and the dislocations in the global economy we are facing another seven years later today in 2015 with several sordid debt restructurings under way and hundred thousands of refugees on the way caused by war and increasing inequality. Together with the regulatory reactions they have caused in the form of so-called landmark legislation such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, the JOBS Act of 2012 or the introduction of the Basel Accords, Basel II in 2004 and III in 2010, the European Financial Stability Facility of 2010, the European Stability Mechanism of 2012 and the European Banking Union of 2013, Stahl analyses the acceleration in size and scope of crises that appears to find often seemingly helpless bureaucratic responses, the inherent legal risks and the complete lack of accountability on part of those responsible. Stahl argues that the order of the day requires to address the root cause of the problems in the form of two fundamental design defects of our Global Economic Order, namely our monetary and judicial order. Inspired by a 1933 plan of nine University of Chicago economists abolishing the fractional reserve system, he proposes the introduction of Sovereign Money as a prerequisite to void misallocations by way of judicial order in the course of domestic and transnational insolvency proceedings including the restructuring of sovereign debt throughout the entire monetary system back to its origin without causing domino effects of banking collapses and failed financial institutions. In recognizing Austrian-American economist Schumpeter’s Concept of Creative Destruction, as a process of industrial mutation that incessantly revolutionizes the economic structure from within, incessantly destroying the old one, incessantly creating a new one, Stahl responds to Schumpeter’s economic chemotherapy with his Concept of Equitable Default mimicking an immunotherapy that strengthens the corpus economicus own immune system by providing for the judicial authority to terminate precisely those misallocations that have proven malignant causing default perusing the century old common law concept of equity that allows for the equitable reformation, rescission or restitution of contract by way of judicial order. Following a review of the proposed mechanisms of transnational dispute resolution and current court systems with transnational jurisdiction, Stahl advocates as a first step in order to complete the Capital Formation Life Cycle from FIAT, the creation of money by way of credit, to EXIT, the termination of money by way of judicial order, the institution of a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Court constituted by a panel of judges from the U.S. Court of International Trade and the European Court of Justice by following the model of the EFTA Court of the European Free Trade Association. Since the first time his proposal has been made public in June of 2014 after being discussed in academic circles since 2011, his or similar proposals have found numerous public supporters. Most notably, the former Vice President of the European Parliament, David Martin, has tabled an amendment in June 2015 in the course of the negotiations on TTIP calling for an independent judicial body and the Member of the European Commission, Cecilia Malmström, has presented her proposal of an International Investment Court on September 16, 2015. Stahl concludes, that for the first time in the history of our generation it appears that there is a real opportunity for reform of our Global Economic Order by curing the two fundamental design defects of our monetary order and judicial order with the abolition of the fractional reserve system and the introduction of Sovereign Money and the institution of a democratically elected Transatlantic Trade and Investment Court that commensurate with its jurisdiction extending to cases concerning the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership may complete the Capital Formation Life Cycle resolving cases of default with the transnational judicial authority for terminal resolution of misallocations in a New Global Economic Order without the ensuing dangers of systemic collapse from FIAT to EXIT.

Importancia de la nutrición perioperatoria en pacientes sometidos a cirugía gastrointestinal mayor electiva en el Hospital General del Instituto Salvadoreño del Seguro Social en el periodo de enero a diciembre del 2013 version 2.0

Desde el inicio de los estudios acerca de la nutrición perioperatoria en pacientes sometidos a cirugía gastrointestinal mayor, ya sea por patología benigna o maligna; se evidenció un vínculo entre la malnutrición y su asociación a las complicaciones trans y posquirúrgicas, es por eso que se realiza este estudio con el fin de determinar la relación coexistente entre un mal estado nutricional y las complicaciones postquirúrgicas. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio analítico no aleatorio. La población en estudio fueron los pacientes con cirugías mayores gastrointestinales electivas del Hospital General del Instituto Salvadoreño del Seguro Social de enero – diciembre 2013, se realizaron 133 cirugías de las cuales solo 49 fueron incluidas, estudiadas con intervalo de confianza de 99% y error muestral de 0.01. Resultados: Se obtuvo una frecuencia de 11 casos de complicaciones postquirúrgicas de los 49 casos, entre las cuales se encuentran 3 casos con fugas de anastomosis, 2 dehiscencias de herida operatoria, 2 sangrados y/o hematomas, 2 complicaciones médicas, 1 infección de sitio quirúrgico y 1 caso de disrupción transquirúrgica de la vía biliar. De estos casos 6 presentaban hipoalbuminemia, 7 presentaban recuento bajo de linfocitos; 8 presentaban una valoración global subjetiva subóptima. Discusión: en este estudio se puede inferir que debe haber un protocolo de manejo nutricional del paciente sometido a cirugía gastrointestinal mayor electiva y así poder desde el inicio del manejo de paciente, tratar integralmente desde el punto de vista nutricional. Así como estadificar el estado nutricional, y apoyarse con datos bioquímicos de laboratorio que confirmen una buena nutrición antes de ser sometido a este tipo de cirugías. Esto con el afán de cumplir los estándares nutricionales internacionales.

Humanidades digitales y la escuela 2.0

During the last decades the growth and development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have led us to a new social paradigm that reflects a deep change not only in an individual but also in a social behavioural pattern. All these changes define the so-called knowledge and information society. This social evolution has had different textual states and types as its main core and instrument of transformation therefore scholars and specialists in the field of Humanities have not missed the opportunity of studying recent phenomena, which have come from the current setting given by new technologies. Researchers in Humanities have had to reconsider their own traditional working method based on printed text in order to analyse how nowadays we search for data, select them, analyse them and the ways we create and spread new information and knowledge. Having in mind this scenario where humanist works, the concept of Digital Humanities has arisen conditioned by the existence of cyberspace, digital text, hypertext, on-line text, implementation of new ways of communication, global access to information and various elements which build a common methodology for all humanistic disciplines. Most of these changes have affected the educational system and education as an academic and humanistic discipline.

Analisi e implementazione di un sistema di autorizzazione compatibile con token OAuth 2.0 e certificati VOMS

Il Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) è una collaborazione internazionale costituita da decine di centri di calcolo distribuiti globalmente, la cui missione consiste nell'elaborazione delle grandi quantità di dati prodotti dai maggiori esperimenti di Fisica delle Alte Energie, in particolare quelli al CERN di Ginevra. Uno di questi centri di calcolo è ospitato presso il CNAF dell'Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare a Bologna, che contribuisce anche allo sviluppo di middleware per la gestione dell'infrastruttura. Molti componenti di tale middleware, che hanno funzionalità e scopi diversi, richiedono un servizio di autorizzazione versatile e compatibile con i meccanismi di autenticazione attualmente in uso, basati su token OAuth 2.0 e su certificati VOMS Proxy. In questa tesi si analizzerà l'architettura e l'implementazione di un proof-of-concept di un sistema di autorizzazione che soddisfi queste necessità, enfatizzando l'integrazione delle tecniche di autenticazione citate. Per dimostrare la sua versatilità, verrà illustrato il processo di interfacciamento con un componente middleware attualmente in sviluppo al CNAF. Il risultato finale ottenuto è un sistema che rispetta i vincoli richiesti e si integra facilmente con servizi eterogenei.
