Using Physical Factor Therapy for Postoperative Patients with Cerebral Apoplexy Voiding Dysfunction: A Case Study

Proses pembandaran telah menimbulkan pelbagai implikasi kepada masyarakat di bandar. Sejak kebelakangan ini, keselamatan merupakan antara isu utama yang sering diperkatakan oleh masyarakat di bandar. Rentetan itu, Malaysia turut tidak terkecuali melaksanakan pelbagai strategi melalui Program Bandar Selamat bertujuan untuk meningkatkan tahap keselamatan masyarakat. Kajian ini cuba menyingkap secara terperinci tentang konsep Bandar Selamat dengan mengambil satu pendekatan kajian kes ke atas kawasan perumahan di Bandaraya Shah Alam yang bertujuan untuk memahami konsep sebenar pelaksanaan bandar selamat serta keberkesanannya untuk meningkatkan tahap keselamatan penduduk. Penilaian ke atas program ini diperolehi menerusi kaedah temu bual dengan penduduk Bandaraya Shah Alam. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan (PBT) telah melaksanakan konsep bandar selamat yang amat bergantung kepada persekitaran fizikal. Strategi ini dipercayai dapat mencegah perilaku jenayah sekali gus meningkatkan tahap keselamatan penduduk. Bagaimanapun, kajian telah membuktikan bahawa faktor–faktor fizikal kurang diberi perhatian oleh penduduk, sebaliknya mereka telah melaksana langkah–langkah keselamatan menerusi pelbagai kegiatan kemasyarakatan untuk mencegah perilaku jenayah di kawasan tempat tinggal mereka. Kata kunci: Keselamatan; bandar selamat; jenayah; CPTED; perumahan In recent years, safety becomes one of prominent issues amongst urban community. This issue has led to the implementation of Safe City Programme in Malaysia as to strengthening the urban community safety. In Malaysia, Shah Alam City has been declared as the first Safe City in this country. However, this recognition is arguable due to its crime rates, which is found higher compared with other cities. In fact, crime rates appear to be common indicator among the urban community for measuring the urban safety. Therefore, a case study has been carried out in Shah Alam residential area as to have better understanding about the concept of Safe City Programme and its effectiveness towards community safety. The evaluation is based on the community perception in which, gathered from indepth interview. It is found that the respective local authority is highly relied on the physical environment that is believed to be effective in preventing crime. On the other hand, the physical factor has brought less effect to the community, but they have come up with their own safety strategies through numerous social activities as to combat crime at their place.

Scientific Analysis

The recording of athletes’ physical game parameters is not only interesting, but extremely necessary to monitor the team’s evolution throughout the competitive season, in order to find the best methods and solutions concerning the regulation of effort volume and intensity within the training process. Thepurpose of the study was not to experiment was to explore, but to analyse the evolution of the CFR Cluj team, from the perspective of the physical factor. Within the case study method, we have used –for monitoring the effort parameters –the technology provided by InStat. The average total running distance of the entire team, per game, was 108,963 km; the average distance run at a speed between 5.5 –7 m/s was 7,647 meters, while the average distance run at a speed higher than 7 m/s was 963 m.

The 1960S

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

The World

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

Abstract Hoerl and McCormack demonstrate that although animals possess a sophisticated temporal updating system, there is no evidence that they also possess a temporal reasoning system. This important case study is directly related to the broader claim that although animals are manifestly capable of first-order (perceptually-based) relational reasoning, they lack the capacity for higher-order, role-based relational reasoning. We argue this distinction applies to all domains of cognition.

Abstract Sociocultural developmental psychology can drive new directions in gadgetry science. We use autobiographical memory, a compound capacity incorporating episodic memory, as a case study. Autobiographical memory emerges late in development, supported by interactions with parents. Intervention research highlights the causal influence of these interactions, whereas cross-cultural research demonstrates culturally determined diversity. Different patterns of inheritance are discussed.

Deformation Patterns

Modern polishing, precision machining and microindentation techniques allow the processing and mechanical characterization of ceramics at nanometric scales and within entirely plastic deformation regimes. The mechanical response of most ceramics to such highly constrained contact is not predictable from macroscopic properties and the microstructural deformation patterns have proven difficult to characterize by the application of any individual technique. In this study, TEM techniques of contrast analysis and CBED are combined with stereographic analysis to construct a three-dimensional microstructure deformation map of the surface of a perfectly plastic microindentation on macroscopically brittle aluminum nitride.The bright field image in Figure 1 shows a lg Vickers microindentation contained within a single AlN grain far from any boundaries. High densities of dislocations are evident, particularly near facet edges but are not individually resolvable. The prominent bend contours also indicate the severity of plastic deformation. Figure 2 is a selected area diffraction pattern covering the entire indentation area.
