Faut-il croire le classement de Shangaï ? by Jean-Charles Billaut, Denis Bouyssou, Philippe Vincke

“…Our main conclusions are that the criteria that are used are not relevant, that the aggregation methodology is plagued by a number of major problems and that the whole exercise suffers from an insufficient attention paid to fundamental structuring issues. Hence, our view is that the Shanghai ranking, in spite of the media coverage it receives, does not qualify as a useful and pertinent tool to discuss the “quality” of academic institutions, let alone to guide the choice of students and family or to promote reforms of higher education systems. …”

Development of Moral Immunity among Students by Yu. A. Bubnov, O. B. Mazkina

“…The authors offer their own approach to the interpretation of the concept of “moral immunity” as a special personal neoformation that performs the functions of providing psychological resistance to negative factors that can disrupt the normal course of development and socialization of an individual, as well as creating the basis for the formation of a stable moral position in relation to other people and oneself. In the structure of moral immunity, the value, sensory and moral components are distinguished. …”

A Rare Case of Orthograde Retrieval of Extruded Instrument following Periapical Tissue Healing by Ahmed Elhakim, Tarek Mohamed Abd El-Wahab

“…The ideal retrieval protocol of separated instruments reverts the case to the initial situation prior to the fracture incidence while preserving the tooth hard tissue and the integrity of the supporting structures. When a patient presented for emergency treatment of tooth #37 diagnosed with acute suppurative apical periodontitis, radiographic examination revealed a fractured instrument extruded into the periapex. …”

FEM of Temperature Field of Rolling-sliding Compound Bearing by Lu Liming, Zeng Guowen

“…Taking the slide block of rolling-sliding compound bearing as a research object,a local heat transfer model is set up for rolling-sliding compound bearing between slide block and inner and outer raceway and cylinder.The contact surface temperature distribution between slide block and inner,outer raceway is analyzed by using the structure thermal- stress coupling effect of the finite element software ABAQUS.The temperature distribution characteristic of the rolling-sliding compound bearing under different revolving speed and radial load conditions are obtained.The results show that,the contact surface temperature between slide block and inner,outer raceway rising with the increasing of load and rotating speed.There is large difference in the temperature of various nodes on the contact surface of slide block with inner and outer raceway,the feasibility of the finite element analysis of temperature for the slide block of rolling- sliding compound bearing is verified.…”

Design on the full-dimensional reconfiguration polymorphic network switching chip architecture by Yu LI, Zhaozhao LI, Ping LYU, Qinrang LIU

“…At present, IP network has the problems of rigid structure, poor scalability and poor security.To solve these problems, the concept of polymorphic network has been proposed by researchers and gradually become a research hotspot.The programmable network switching chip is the basis of polymorphic network implementation.Therefore, a full-dimensional reconfigurable polymorphic network switching chip architecture was proposed.Based on eFPGA in the chip, the port-level and bit-level fine-grained reconfigurable polymorphic network was realized.Based on self-designed process element (PE), the coarse-grained reconfigurable network switching engine was realized.Thereby the full-dimensional reconfigurable polymorphic network switching chip was realized and laid the foundation for the data layer of polymorphic network.To improve the network switching performance, an improved bit vector algorithm was proposed, which could realize fast flow table lookup with a smaller resource consumption.The proposed algorithm has showed its practicability in the research.…”

A crítica pós-moderna: analítica da interação e da sociabilidade by Carlos A. Gadea

“…This article discusses these contributions on the basis of those theoretical elements that are presented as heirs of a neglected sociological tradition in the academia because of the occasional hegemony of analytical perspectives that are more rooted in structural determinism. When the post-modern critique reformulates issues of sociability and political and cultural behavior and resorts to an analytical framework in which concepts such as plurality, multiplicity, fragmentation and relativism gain importance, it is doing nothing else than reintroducing a theoretical legacy and a sociological adventure that arise, for instance, from the sociological impressionism of Simmel, the pragmatism of William James and psychosocial studies of Georg H. …”
