The twenty-first century has ushered in new debates and social movements that aim to structure how culture is produced, owned, and distributed. At one side, open-knowledge advocates seek greater freedom for finding, distributing, using, and reusing information. On the other hand, traditional-knowledge rights advocates seek to protect certain forms of knowledge from appropriation and exploitation and seek recognition for communal and culturally situated notions of heritage and intellectual property. Understanding and bridging the tension between these movements represents a vital and significant challenge. This paper explores possible areas of where these seemingly divergent goals may converge, centered on the Creative Commons concept ofsome rights reserved. We argue that this concept can be extended into areas where scientific disciplines intersect with traditional knowledge. This model can help build a voluntary framework for negotiating more equitable and open communication between field researchers and diverse stakeholding communities.

When we think about running enterprise applications on-premises, enterprises do two things for their servers, databases, and storage. Enterprises provision for peaks and put a lot of infrastructures to handle peak demand, although a lot of this capacity is not used at normal times. The other thing is a few instances that each application needs to have, typically between five and six. Multiplying this number by many times due to various applications causes a lot of costs and creates capacity that is not used. For such reasons, the enterprise applications in the cloud seem reasonable. In the cloud, two things are possible again. Instead of overprovisioning for peaks, enterprises can scale the capacity on on-demand and spin up instances on demand. This means a certain amount of cost-saving by running at a normal level instead of overprovisioning. In this paper, various factors will be considered, and the benefits for enterprise data warehouse implementation in the cloud vs. on-premises will be stated.

Objective: To compare the clinical effects of marrow core decompression with bone grafting and marrow core decompression with porous tantalum rod implantation in treating avascular necrosis of non-traumatic femoral head. Methods: This prospective study selected 60 patients (74 hips) with avascular necrosis of femoral head admitted to Daping Hospital from January 2018 to March 2019. According to treatment methods, the 60 patients were randomly divided into two groups, i.e. 30 patients in one group were treated by marrow core decompression with bone grafting, and the other 30 patients in the other group were treated with marrow core decompression and porous tantalum rod implantation. Results: All implantation treatments were successful. No significant difference was found in surgical duration, hemorrhage volume and duration of hospitalization stay between the two groups during follow-up. All Harris scores were significantly improved (P<0.05) following treatment compared to those before treatment. The Harris score of patients treated with porous tantalum rod implantation was higher than that of patients treated with bone grafting (P<0.05) after 12 months following treatment and such a difference was significant. Conclusion: The combination of marrow core decompression and porous tantalum rod implantation can better improve the functions of hip joints with early femoral head necrosis than marrow core decompression with bone grafting, and can also prevent articular cartilage from collapsing gradually. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.6.2176 How to cite this:Peng K, Wang Y, Zhu J, Li C, Wang Z.

Objective: To investigate the effects of participation in nursing student congresses and other motivation sources on students’ occupational motivation states. Methods: This descriptive pilot study covers 29 students who are studying in nursing department. The answers given to the “Motivation’s Resources and Problems Scale” (MRPS) were evaluated with Mann-Whitney U (MWU) test which is one of the non-parametric tests. Results: The mean age of participants was 19.2±0.9 years. There was no significant difference between the students who participated and those who did not participate in MRPS total scores. However, even though the difference was not significant, medical vocational high school students’ internal motivation levels were found to be higher than the other school graduates. Conclusions: There was no significant difference between the ranking of the scores that are acquired from motivation scale and participation status of nursing student in the congress. On the other hand, there are other factors that motivate occupational learning of students. Planning studies about increasing nursing students’ positive motivation sources is suggested.

Since the 20th century with the birth of feminism, gender studies have undergone analysis in many areas of knowledge. Special attention has been paid to the theory of androcentricity in the English language and the deficiency of female images in speech. In this article, the images of men and women presented by English proverbs and anti-proverbs are analyzed. The objective of this research is to find out if proverbs are androcentric and present male mindsets and world views. The other aim is to check whether anti-proverbs reflect the changing role of women in society. To fulfill these purposes, proverbs with gender components (man/woman, wife/husband, he/she etс.) were selected and underwent a semantic analysis. In order to reveal the evolution of the images of men and women we compared the images of men and women illustrated in proverbs with those shown in anti-proverbs with the same gender components. As a result, we came to the conclusion that both proverbs and anti-proverbs are androcentric; however, in anti-proverbs female opinions are more representative when compared to proverbs. To sum up, it is obvious that the role of women is changing and the changes are reflected in the language.

        The Farzdaq is a unique phenomenon in Arab poetry that we rarely find a counterpart, a self-righteous personality enveloped by so Childesh, Shomokh, Fathers and glory. The woman had a privileged position, and he employed her in his poetic creations, as she was an artistic curator of the beginning of his poems as textual values. These introductions create a balance that enters the heart of the poetic industry, because they are the first to encounter the reader, and reach the ears of the listener, and the reader is located on it. These introductions to their diversity and sometimes their brevity between the kinsman, the ruins, the graying and the young, and the description of the spectrum have taken a woman's title and reason. In this light, we can identify the emotions inherent in the same fractal and observe their manifestation in drawing a picture of the woman as a symbol of his hopes and pains and putting everything he feels and is in his chest. We considered this to be indicative of the mediation of the D/text (submitted) as a present signal to reveal its meaning (absence) as referred to by the recipient seeking access to it. The poetic introductions are a response to the need of the Creative Commons, as well as the diligence to convince the reader of the sincerity of his psychological experience, contribute to read the text and receive it with a reader, and interact with him, which invites him to read and meditate and ask himself questions concerning what is coming: Is this yarn intended for oneself to sing the beauty of a woman, or a technical means of expressing his life? Were the introductions a reflection of the character and breathing space in front of the other as a self-part? Did he achieve the substantive and emotional harmony of the reader-the receiver of the text? . Most of our study of poetic sponsors is not only to provide an insight into a poem that is viewed in a superficial way, but to deal with its connotations and its relationship to poetic purposes.

The article focuses on the process of othering as it is embodied in linguistic interactions among Brazilians on the Internet during the last decade, when socioeconomic mobility expanded the access and the adherence to practices involving digital technological resources by different social Brazilian groups. By othering, it means any linguistic-discursive action by which an individual or group is classified as “not one of us” (difference and strangeness). Considering that the construction of the Other is made up of social action; has an ideological component; and that an exercise of power is always present, the aim herewith is to show that othering processes in focused interactions instantiate overlaps, interceptions and  tangencies between different space-temporal scales which constitute the contemporary Brazilian “reality”. Observational data from a research project carried out since 2005 about internet-mediated interactions among Brazilians will be used to illustrate the contentions put forth in this paper. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License.

The increasingly high cost of textbooks coupled with the pedagogical opportunities presented by Creative Commons licenses has provided fertile ground for the development of Open Educational Resources (OER) initiatives as an impactful practice for improving student success. Librarians are leading advocates for OER, yet little is published on how librarians learn about OER or how faculty use OER in Library and Information Science (LIS) programs. In this study, I surveyed LIS faculty about their awareness and usage of OER as well as the role they imagine for future librarians in open education. LIS faculty, current and future librarians, and those interested in open education can glean insights on the usage of OER from the almost fifty respondents. Approximately half of the respondents regularly use some OER and the other half have heard of OER. Of those who have heard of OER, half of the respondents mention them in their teaching. Respondents believed that future librarians’ role in OER ranged from traditional librarian roles of finding, providing metadata, and curating resources to developing and leading OER initiatives. Given that several organizations offer training and certifications for librarians in OER, LIS programs can help meet this need in a variety of ways.

In this dialogue, Hal Abelson the acclaimed professor, scientist and distinguished member of MIT CSAIL, and co-chair of the MIT Council on Educational Technology (MITCET), firstly discusses the potential of the digital revolution and Internet. He talks about the reasons that led him to initiate Creative Commons (Abelson was also involved with the start up of MIT OpenCourseWare, Public Knowledge, the Free Software Foundation, and the Center for Democracy and Technology). He then describes in detail the MIT model. On the one hand it is based on not making distinctions between teaching and research, and on the other it focuses on radical meritocracy, which gives rise to a culture of open exchange and openness. He moves on to explain details of the philosophy behind the prestigious MIT Course 6, which uses semiconductors to bring together the physical side of electrical engineering and the logic side of IT, thereby generating a range of innovative interactions. He finally talks about the foundations of leadership which MIT have laid and continue to maintain in education and innovation.
