Nowadays, the singularity of outdoor space in urban community has been unable to meet the needs of people. The concept of home, the smallest unit of society, is changing with the change of family structure. The huge living community consists of a family of loose relationship or fragmented families, each of which is an island. In the past, it is said that a neighbor that is near is better than a brother far off. However, at present, a close neighbor is like a stranger. The walls of the building have become a barrier for people to communicate. People’s activities should not be restricted by the ”box” of home. Can we open the walls and re-design the outdoor space? Therefore, we begin to think about the connection between people, can we achieve it through space? Can there be more public space between neighborhoods? Can such a public space be used as part of the family space again? In this paper, the outdoor space of urban community is taken as the research object to strive to break the boundaries of traditional indoor and outdoor space. How to optimize the outdoor public space in urban communities to promote residents’ communication is taken as the purpose of research to carry out a new design of this kind of space. The outdoor space outside the traditional wall is combined with the living needs of present people to discuss the possibility shaping of outdoor space in urban community.

The current situation of the Polish language in Carpathian BukovinaThe use and the state of preservation of the Polish language in Carpathian Bukovina is very diverse for a number of reasons. There are villages in which it is not only spoken in the family domain by people invited to take part in this study, but also serves as the basic code of communication in public space: all local residents, including those of origin other than Polish, know it. This is the case in Nyzhni Petrivtsi, Pleşa, Poiana Micului, Stara Krasnoshora, Soloneţu Nou and Terebleche. In turn, the town of Rădăuți and such villages as Bulai, Cacica, Davydivka, Davydivka Zrub, Frumoasa, Gura Humorului, Hlyboka, Păltinoasa, Racovăț, Seret, Sfântu Ilie, Vicşani and Verkhni Petrivtsi have quite a few Polish families; their members, however, speak Polish very rarely, only on exceptional occasions. In some places in the region all that remains is the local memory of Poles who once lived in the area and of Polish speech that could be heard there in the past; this memory, however, seems to be disappearing. We can find traces of their historical presence: houses, cemeteries, churches and so on in Arbore, Banyliv, Budenetsʹ, Dubivtsi, Ispas, Miliieve, Nova Zhadova, Rokytne, Solca, Stara Zhadova, Vashkivtsi and Vytylivka.Places that once had Polish communities and are now dominated by Ukrainian or Romanian speakers include the villages of Banyliv, Boiany, Cheresh, Chudeĭ, Komarivtsi, Krasnoïlʹsʹk, Lashkivka, Lukivtsi, Luzhany, Mihoveni, Nova Krasnoshora, Ridkivtsi, Vășcăuți and Zhadova, and the towns of Câmpulung Moldovenesc and Vyzhnytsia. There are some individual elderly people living there whose first language was Polish. Considering that they function in the Ukrainian- or Romanian-speaking environment, they use it sporadically as all spheres are served by Ukrainian/Romanian or their dialectal variations. The functionality of Polish in such villages and towns as Kitsmanʹ, Korchivtsi, Panka, Sadhora, Storozhynetsʹ, Zastavna and Zelenyĭ Haĭ is very limited indeed: local Poles no longer speak it in the family or the neighbourhood, but only on special occasions, such as encounters with visitors from Poland, which do not occur very often. Współczesna sytuacja polszczyzny na Bukowinie KarpackiejUżywanie języka polskiego na Bukowinie Karpackiej jest bardzo zróżnicowane. Na przyczyny tego stanu składa się wiele czynników. Są rodziny i wsie, w których mowa polska występuje nie tylko w sferze rodzinnej osób zaproszonych do badania, lecz także stanowi podstawowy kod służący do komunikacji w przestrzeni publicznej, który znają wszyscy mieszkańcy, również osoby o niepolskim pochodzeniu (Nowy Sołoniec, Piotrowce Dolne, Plesza, Pojana Mikuli, Stara Huta, Tereblecze). W takich miejscowościach jak: Bulaj, Dawideny-Centrum i Dawideny-Zrąb, Frumosa, Głęboka, Gura Humoru, Kaczyka, Paltynosa, Piotrowce Górne, Radowce, Rakowiec, Seret, Sfiyntu Illie, Wikszany mieszkają dość liczne rodziny polskie, ale w środowisku rodzinnym i sąsiedzkim ich członkowie mówią po polsku bardzo rzadko, używają tego języka w wyjątkowych sytuacjach. W miejscowościach, w których istnieje już tylko pamięć (wydaje się, że w zaniku) obecnych mieszkańców o języku polskim, rozbrzmiewającym niegdyś w przestrzeni lokalnej, i o Polakach, którzy tam żyli, znajdujemy pozostałości kultury materialnej: domy, cmentarze, kościoły itp. (Arbore, Baniłów n/Czeremoszem, Budyniec, Dubowce, Ispas, Milijów, Solka, Nowa Żadowa, Rokitna, Stara Żadowa, Witelówka, Waszkowce w Ukrainie).Miejscowości zdominowane przez przedstawicieli społeczności ukraińskiej lub rumuńskiej to Baniłów n/Seretem, Bojany, Czeresz, Czudej, Kimpulung Mołdawski, Komarowce, Krasnoilsk, Łaszkówka, Łukawiec, Łużany, Mihoweny, Nowa Huta, Rarańcza, Waszkowce w Rumunii, Wyżnica, Żadowa. W otoczeniu ukraińsko- lub rumuńskojęzycznym żyją pojedyncze starsze osoby, których pierwszym językiem był język polski, posługują się one nim jednak sporadycznie, a wszystkie sfery obsługuje język ukraiński/rumuński lub odmiana dialektalna języka ukraińskiego/ rumuńskiego. Funkcjonalność polszczyzny w życiu codziennym Polaków z takich wsi, jak: Kocmań, Korczeszty, Panka, Sadagóra, Storożyniec, Zastawna, Zielony Gaj jest bardzo ograniczona. Nie używają oni już języka polskiego w komunikacji rodzinnej i sąsiedzkiej, po polsku rozmawiają tylko w sytuacjach szczególnych, np. z przybyszami z Polski.

The marginalized urban community is a group of people who do not have access to the economic and formal infrastructure of the city. They are similar to the people who live in the slum and squatter areas. The inadequate financial capacity causes low affordability for housing. Additionally, the limited supply of land and uncertainty of housing regulation for the marginalized cause them to occupy public space. This study aimed to identify the characteristics, preferences, and behavior marginalized communities. The research was conducted in Bandung, in three locations: Cidurian riverbanks, Kiaracondong railway and the land owned by the state at Tamansari. The research method is a quantitative method to capture character and preference of the settlements. This paper explained the research result of the marginalized urban community which occupied the public space, namely the riverbank, railway, and another state-owned land. The research result shows: The characteristics of the marginalized urban communities settlement can be identified as (a) semi-permanent and permanent houses; (b) 1-2 story houses; (c) formed settlements along the river, railway, and alley. While the preferences for occupancy: (a) needed a simple dwelling on the narrow land; (b) could unite the private lives with their socio-economic activities; (c) Having a clear legal status; (d) The shape and quality of the building is not the primary constraint compared to the function; (e) Having a low price houses.

What kind of memory-work is generated in settler nations when historians, archivists and television producers shed light on the family tree? What happens to the faithfulness, or reliability, of memory when we imagine the past through compelling figures and scenes that resonate with childhood memories? Why do we need our ancestors, our close relations, to be good, to be better than the history we inherit from them? At stake here, for memory studies, is not the familiar set of tensions between historical truth, empathetic unsettlement and unreliable memory, but the relation between memory, recognition and imagination, or what Terdiman calls the bipolar vocation of memory: ‘to remain focused on the facts and simultaneously to spin off into fantasy’. To probe memory’s bipolar vocation in the decentring of settler subjectivity in Australia, this article begins with the interplay of memory and recollection provoked by ‘Emily’s story’, recounted in McKenna’s award-winning book, Looking for Blackfellas’ Point. It then turns to chastened recognition and the otherness of the past in the Australian version of the UK television format, Who do you think you are? It concludes with Ricoeur and the positing of incognito forgiveness as an alternative to the exoneration of our close relations from the barely hidden crimes of the past – foundational crimes that trouble the politics of reconciliation in settler-colonial nations.

Plagiarism is a behavior that causes violence of copyrights. Survey shows 55% of college presidents say that plagiarism in students’ papers has increased over the past 10 years. Therefore, an application for detecting plagiarism is needed, especially for teachers. This plagiarism checker application is made by using Visual C# 2010. The plagiarism checker uses hamming distance algorithm for matching line code of the source code. This algorithm works by matching the same length string of the code programs. Thus, it needs brute will be matched with hamming distance. Another important thing for detecting plagiarism is the preprocessing, which is used to help the algorithm for detecting plagiarized source code. This paper shows that the application works good in detecting plagiarism, the hamming distance algorithm and brute force algorithm works better than levenstein distance algorithm for detecting structural type of plagiarism and this thesis also shows that the preprocessing could help the application to increase its percentage and its accuracy. Index Terms—Brute Force, Hamming Distance, Plagiarisme, Preprocessing.

Background: Investigation of rare bleeding disorders in Latin-America. Objective: The report of a new case of FX deficiency due to a compound heterozygosis. Methods: Accepted clotting procedures were used. Sequencing of DNA was carried out by means of Applied Biosystems Instruments. Results: A compound heterozygote due to the association of a new mutation (Gla72Asp) with an already known mutation (Gly154Arg) of the FX gene is reported. The proposita is a 38 year old female who had a moderate bleeding tendency (menorrhagia, epistaxis, easy bruising). The proposita has never received substitution therapy but in the occasion of a uterine biopsy. The mother was asymptomatic but was a heterozygote for the new mutation. The father was asymptomatic but had deserted the family and could not be investigated. After this abandonment the mother of the proposita re-married with an asymptomatic man and she gave birth to a son who was asymptomatic but was also heterozygous for the new mutation (Gla72Asp). As a consequence it has to be assumed that the first husband of the mother of the proposita was heterozygous for the known mutation (Gly154Arg). Conclusion: This is the third case of a new mutation in the FX gene reported, during the past few years, in Argentina.

This chapter develops a version of ontological pluralism that respects two common intuitions about time: that the present moment is metaphysically distinguished but not in such a way that the past is unreal. The version of ontological pluralism developed—presentist existential pluralism (PEP)—embraces two modes of being, the mode of being that present objects enjoy and the mode of being that past objects enjoy. The author argues that this view fares at least as well, and probably better, than other views in which the present is metaphysically distinguished. The chapter also introduces another form of ontological superiority called “levels of being.”

Abstract Members of the adhesion family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have received attention for their roles in health and disease, including cancer. Over the past decade, several members of the family have been implicated in the pathogenesis of glioblastoma. Here, we discuss the basic biology of adhesion GPCRs and review in detail specific members of the receptor family with known functions in glioblastoma. Finally, we discuss the potential use of adhesion GPCRs as novel treatment targets in neuro-oncology.
