Benchmarks for antimicrobial consumption measured in antimicrobial days are beginning to emerge. The relationship between the traditional measure of days of therapy and antimicrobial days is unclear. We observed a high intermethod correlation (R2=0.99): antimicrobial days were 1.9-fold lower than days of therapy across agents. Individual institutions should correlate these measures.Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2016;37:971–973

AbstractThe prevalence of Clinical ethics support (CES) services is increasing. Yet, questions about what quality of CES entails and how to foster the quality of CES remain. This paper describes the development of a national network (NEON), which aimed to conceptualize and foster the quality of CES in the Netherlands simultaneously. Our methodology was inspired by a responsive evaluation approach which shares some of our key theoretical presuppositions of CES. A responsive evaluation methodology engages stakeholders in developing quality standards of a certain practice, instead of evaluating a practice by predefined standards. In this paper, we describe the relationship between our theoretical viewpoint on CES and a responsive evaluation methodology. Then we describe the development of the network (NEON) and focus on three activities that exemplify our approach. In the discussion, we reflect on the similarities and differences between our approach and other international initiatives focusing on the quality of CES.

Abstract This study aims to analyze the intertextuality of Timun Mas and Buto Ijo in the Marjan advertisement with Indonesian folklore. The advertisement is considered as a text derived from the previous text because it uses the characters of Buto Ijo and Timun Mas, namely the legendary figures of folklore entitled Timun Mas and Buto Ijo. The data sources are the Timun Mas and Buto Ijo versions of Marjan advertisements and the Timun Mas and Buto Ijo folk tales. Descriptive analysis was carried out using an intertextuality approach to see the relationship between the two texts. The results showed that the character of Buto Ijo in the Marjan advertisement and Indonesian folklore had some similarities and differences. The similarity is Buto Ijo is tall, big, and green. Buto Ijo, as his name implies, is told as a giant green figure who has great strength. The difference lies at the end of the story. In the advertisement, Buto Ijo has a happy ending by joining the Timun Mas family to celebrate Eid. While in folklore, Buto Ijo has a tragic ending. Buto Ijo died from drowning in a sea of ​​shrimp paste that turned into embers in the ocean.

The Relationship

The aim of this article is to show the relationship between Soviet partisans and the Ukrainian population in the western regions of Ukraine. It also aims to demonstrate how the attitude toward the armed troops of the Ukrainian national and nationalist underground, which operated in the area between 1942 and 1944, changed under the influence of the war on the Eastern Front and internal factors. All this led to the outbreak of an open armed conflict and terror of the red partisans against the Ukrainian peasants, most of whom supported national and nationalist partisans. These events are presented against the background of political, social and military conditions for the operation and development of the Soviet partisan movement in the area of Volhynia and Eastern Galicia. This article also describes how the Soviet security police and army fought the OUN-B and UPA in this area and repressed members of the anti-communist underground and its civilian supporters during the re-establishment of the communist authorities after 1944. It also attempts to show the similarities and differences between the events in Western Ukraine (1943–1945) and the Civil War in Yugoslavia (1941–1945), including the local communists’ fight for power in the country.

Straipsnyje aptariamas tiesos ir meno kūrinio santykis B. Croce’s ir H. G. Gadamerio filosofijoje. Lyginami Croce’s estetikos ir Gadamerio meno filosofijos principai, analizuojami panašumai ir skirtumai. Croce akcentuoja meno autonomiją ir subjektyvųjį intuityviojo pažinimo lygmenį, jo estetikoje per meno kūrinį patiriamas intuityvusis tiesos matmuo, tačiau esama ir universalumą suponuojančių meno patirties aspektų. Gadameris meno kūrinio supratimo analize siekia pagrįsti hermeneutikos universalumą – tiesa čia priešinama metodologijai ir suvokiama kaip supratimo įvykis. Straipsnyje grindžiama tezė, kad Croce’s estetikoje tiesos ir meno kūrinio santykis analogiškas Gadamerio hermeneutikoje aptariamam tiesos ir meno kūrinio santykiui.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: meno kūrinys, tiesa, intuityvusis pažinimas, ekspresija, hermeneutika.  The Relationship Between Truth and the Work of Art: B. Croce and H. G. GadamerVaiva Daraškevičiūtė SummaryThe article analyzes the relationship between truth and the work of art in Benedetto Croce’s aesthetics and Hans Georg Gadamer’s philosophy of art. It compares the main principles of art in their philosophies, showing their similarities and differences. The approaches of these two thinkers are compared by presenting their concepts of truth, the art work and art experience. Croce considers art as an autonomic, subjective cognition. Nevertheless, the universal dimension of art experience is especially important in his aesthetics as well. Gadamer, for his part, uses the reflection of the experience of the art work as the foundation of a hermeneutic universality. The truth in this case is described as contrasting with methodology and is taken to be an event of understanding. The article concludes that the relationship between truth and the art work which we find in Croce’s aesthetics is analogous to the one that lies in Gadamer’s philosophy of art.Keywords: Truth, Art work, Hermeneutics, Intuition, Experience.t: 115%;">

Geometry Learning

As a fundamental science of forms and their order, geometry contributes to the process of composing and designing of products. Geometry is able to make a contribution to these processes by dealing with the geometric figures and forms as design elements as well as the relations between them. Finding the general principles of successfully combining those elements was a research aim of many designers, such as those in the modernist era. Influencing the industrial design in a revolutionary way, the Modernism became significant artistic movement of the 20th century, thus giving us the most iconic and timeless product designs. In this scientific paper, the relationship between geometry and design in the Modernism is described and explored through examples, with emphasis placed on De Stijl and Bauhaus products. Direct comparison is applied, focusing on the similarities and differences in the products’ geometry. Learning about the geometry and how it relates to the designs is not to be used as a substitute for the creative process, but rather as a means of obtaining a deeper understanding of it.

Area Of Study

“After the expulsion” looks at the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492, along with the rise of the Enlightenment, as decisive moments in which Jews entered modernity. The literature of Crypto-Jews in the Iberian Peninsula and the Americas is worth looking at in this area of study, especially the memoir of Luis de Carvajal the Younger as are the literary manifestations of Sephardic writers such as Bulgarian writer Elias Canetti, Italian writer Natalia Ginzburg, Israeli writer A. B. Yehoshua, and Mexican writer Angelina Muniz-Huberman. There are similarities and differences in the relationship between the Ashkenazi and Sephardic branches in modern Jewish literature. Ladino is a language that evolved after the 1492 expulsion but lost steam in the twentieth century.

The Relationship

Typologies classify activities into similarities and differences in a semantic web of purposes, contexts, practices, organizational structures, and theoretical frameworks. Huutoniemi and Rafols (2017) contended multiple claims tend to paralyze debate on definition. Yet, Frédéric Darbellay (2015) identified two major lines of argument in current discourse about interdisciplinarity: an epistemological, theoretical orientation that transcends disciplinary boundaries and a pragmatic, participative orientation to problem solving. The epistemic approach is philosophical, raising questions about the nature of knowledge amplified by ontological questions about the nature of reality. In contrast, problem solving is oriented to instrumental needs. This chapter compares discourses of philosophy and problem solving while adding a third imperative of critique. After acknowledging differences, it then takes into account their intersections. The chapter closes by asking whose knowledge counts, weighing the relationship of generalizations and individual cases, and reflecting on how discourse shapes definition.

This paper examines community projects funded under the federal government's Networking the Nation program, and compares these with community broadcasting. Since the early 1990s, rural community ICT projects have enjoyed considerable government support, but now face closure as government funding dries up. A comparison with the community broadcasting sector offers some insights into the relationship between community and not-for-profit organisations and the problems associated with adopting government and business strategies in the delivery of community services.
