The Influence of Polypropylene Fiber and Silica Fume on the Mechanical Properties of No-Fine Concrete with Recycled Aggregate

No-Fines Concrete is a type of concrete produced without fine aggregate or sand. Because of its high porosity, it allows rainwater to seep into the ground, directly replenishing the groundwater aquifer. With a design load of three tons, no-fine concrete can be utilized as pavement for rural roads. Additionally, this type of concrete can be utilized as a sub-base material in both flexible and rigid pavements. Aside from No-Fines Concrete's permeability properties, asphalt overlays are another option. This research studied the impact of silica fume and polypropylene fiber on the properties of no-fine concrete with recycled aggregate. The ratios of cement to aggregate and water to cement were 1:4 and 0.3, respectively. The recycled aggregate was demolished reactive powder concrete used in percentages of 10, 20, and 30% as a substitution for coarse aggregate by volume. The recycled aggregate percentage of 10% was the optimal percentage as it showed the least adverse effect on the no-fine concrete mixes. The polypropylene fiber was then added to the no-fine concrete mixes with 10% recycled aggregate in the percentages of 0.5, 1, and 1.5% by volume. The optimum percentage of polypropylene fiber was 0.5%, which improved the mechanical properties of no-fine concrete. Silica fume was used as a partial substitution for cement at a percentage of 10% and added to no-fine concrete mix with 10% recycled aggregate. The results show that using 10% silica fume and 0.5% polypropylene fiber with 10% recycled aggregate increased the splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, compressive strength, and modulus of elasticity by (22.54 and 40.32%), (22.22 and 35%), (21 and 35.37%), and (22 and 38.19%) compared to reference mix (NC) and the no-fine concrete mix with 10% recycled aggregate (RNC10), respectively. In comparison, the dry density was higher by (1.34%) than RNC10 and lower by (0.68%) than NC.
THE ROLE OF SERVANT LEADERSHIP ON EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION AND JOB SATISFACTION: EVIDENCE FROM HEALTHCARE ORGANISATIONS IN TURKEY

Servant leadership is one of the efficient leadership models that is linked to an array of positive work outcomes. Yet, potential impact of this model on work motivation and job satisfaction is overlooked within the literature. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the mediator role of employee motivation in the relationship between servant leadership and job satisfaction with 127 clinical and non-clinical healthcare employees in Turkish organisations. The results of bivariate correlations demonstrated that servant leadership was positively related to employee motivation and job satisfaction. Furthermore, results of mediation analysis revealed that work motivation mediated the relationship between servant leadership and the employee job satisfaction. Findings were discussed.
Two Sides of the Coin: Examining the Role of Character-Similarity and Identification in the Effects of a Narrative on Children’s Learning and Bias

When identifying with a character in a narrative, one experiences the narrative from the character’s perspective, as if the events were happening to oneself. Many researchers and theorists have suggested that a character’s similarity to the audience member should be related to identification. Although some research supports this relationship, it has rarely been tested directly. Additionally, higher identification may lead to more learning from a narrative. These two proposed links, between character similarity and identification, and between identification and learning, suggest that children may learn more from narratives that contain characters who are similar to them than from narratives with dissimilar characters. There is, however, another side to the coin: Reading about (and perhaps identifying with) dissimilar characters may decrease children’s outgroup biases. This study tests these two possibilities, examining race as a point of similarity. Findings suggest that (1) White children may be more likely to identify with own-race characters than with other-race characters, (2) White children do not appear to learn more from stories with own-race characters than those with other-race characters when knowledge is probed via specific questions, but do freely recall more information from stories with own-race characters, and (3) Exposure to a storybook with a Black main character does not reduce White children’s racial bias. These findings inform our understanding of the nature and effects of children’s identification with ownand other-race characters.
Explainability of Extension-Based Semantics

This paper defines visual explanations to the Verification Problem in argumentation, that is, of why a set of arguments is or is not acceptable under a given semantics. These explanations rely upon the modularity of the acceptability semantics, and they take the form of subgraphs of the original argumentation graph. Graph properties that these subgraphs satisfy depending on whether or not the set is acceptable, are established. Properties of the proposed explanations are addressed, and the potential of the modularity of the approach is highlighted. Note
Raman scattering and photoluminescence studies on Cu2O

Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) crystals were grown by the two step crystallization method in air atmosphere conditions from polycrystalline copper plates. The method comprises two stages; in the first one the copper plates are oxidized at 1020degC by some hours in line with its initial thickness. In the second stage the growth of large crystalline areas is promoted by annealing the Cu2O samples at 1100degC for long periods. The effects on the crystalline structure and photoluminescence (PL) response were studied as a function of the conditions used in the second stage of the synthesis method. Raman scattering and X-ray measurements demonstrates the existence of the single phase Cu2O. PL spectra were taken from 10 to 180 K to define the main radiative recombination paths. Besides of the near band excitonic transitions, two strong emission bands at 720 and 920 nm associated with relaxed excitons at oxygen and copper vacancies were detected. Both excitonic-vacancy bond transitions presented similar intensities which can be associated with the preparation method. The PL and the Raman scattering measurements were used to assess the evolution of the crystalline quality.
Pharmacokinetics of Methotrexate during Chemotherapy Administration in a Patient with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

1. Case Description A 36-year-old male with a past medical history of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and type 2 diabetes was transferred to the Upstate Medical University Hospital for continuation of chemotherapy. The patient initially presented to a local hospital with epistaxis and was originally treated for immune thrombocytopenic purpura with intravenous immunoglobulins and steroids. The patient denied trauma or a history of bleeding disorder. He subsequently became pancytopenic with poor response to multiple blood transfusions. A bone marrow biopsy was performed and reviewed for consultation at the Upstate Medical University Hospital, which showed a relapse of Acute B Lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma. The blasts detected by flow cytometry analysis expressed CD10, CD19, CD20, cytoplasmic CD79a, and TdT. BCR-ABL1 was negative by FISH. The patient was subsequently admitted to the Upstate Medical University Hospital and was treated with the chemotherapy regimen R-HYPER-CVAD-MTX-ARA-C, consisting of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, dexamethasone, methotrexate (MTX), and cytarabine for a few treatment cycles. During the treatment, the patient’s primary physician observed that the blood MTX concentrations did not respond or increase as much after two recent administrations (Figure 1, days 6 & 7) as previously observed after MTX administration (Figure 1, day 1 administration; day 3 concentration measurement). The physician consulted the Core/Chemistry Laboratory to seek an explanation. An investigation was carried out throughout pre-analytical, analytical and post-analytical phases including the MTX dosage, time and route of administration for each dosing and sampling, type of samples received, sample handling and storage, QC and recent proficiency testing performance, recode of recent calibration and reagent lots, patient renal function, and medications that may interfere with the accuracy of the analysis. No deficiencies or issues were identified in these areas except that the MTX was given intrathecally for the unexpectedly low results of MTX concentrations (Figure 1, days 6 & 7), whereas another dosing was given five days prior via peripheral I.V. (Figure 1, day 1). Abbreviations:
Treating trauma survivors with neurofeedback: A grounded theory study based on the practices of experienced mental health professionals

TREATING TRAUMA SURVIVORS WITH NEUROFEEDBACK: A GROUNDED THEORY STUDY BASED ON THE PRACTICES OF EXPERIENCED MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS Christine L. Currie Old Dominion University, 2011 Dissertation Chair: Dr. Theodore P. Remley, Jr. Neuroscience, the mental health field, and the concept of trauma as an underlying factor in mental and physical disorders have been inextricably linked since the inception of the mental health professions. Numerous quantitative studies have indicated that neurofeedback may be effective in ameliorating trauma symptoms; however, there is a paucity of research exploring the factors that produce those positive outcomes. The purpose of this qualitative grounded theory study was to explore the factors and processes that influence treatment outcomes when neurofeedback is used with trauma survivors. Thirty interviews were completed with ten experienced mental health and neurofeedback professionals identified through a nomination process with a snowball sampling method. For this study a wide definition of trauma was used that included traumatic brain injury, the DSM-IV-TR (2000) criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder, and the seven symptoms associated with complex trauma (Courtois, 2008; Courtois & Ford, 2009; Herman, 1992, 1997). Research results indicate that the neurofeedback practitioner is central to the treatment process, that practitioner therapeutic skills are crucial to positive neurofeedback outcomes, and that counseling and neurofeedback may effectively complement each other in trauma treatment.
India's Economic Crisis: The Way Ahead

As a result of changes in the international political arena as well as upheaval in India's own sphere, many in India are scrutinizing their economic crisis. Jalan argues that centralized planning and direct state control were inevitable--even desirable--during post-Independence through the 1960s. Now, the inadequacies of this system are finally addressed.
Postural control strategies during single limb stance following acute lateral ankle sprain

Background: Single-limb stance is maintained via the integration of visual, vestibular and 49 somatosensory afferents. Musculoskeletal injury challenges the somatosensory system to 50 reweight distorted sensory afferents. This investigation supplements kinetic analysis of eyes- 51 open and eyes-closed single-limb stance tasks with a kinematic profile of lower limb postural 52 orientation in an acute lateral ankle sprain group to assess the adaptive capacity of the 53 sensorimotor system to injury. 54 Methods: Sixty-six participants with first-time acute lateral ankle sprain completed a 20 55 second eyes-open single-limb stance task on their injured and non-injured limbs (task 1). 56 Twenty-three of these participants successfully completed the same 20 second single-limb 57 stance task with their eyes closed (task 2). A non-injured control group of 19 participants 58 completed task 1, with 16 completing task 2. 3-dimensional kinematics of the hip, knee and 59 ankle joints, as well as associated fractal dimension of the center-of-pressure path were 60 determined for each limb during these tasks. 61 Findings: Between trial analyses revealed significant differences in stance limb kinematics 62 and fractal dimension of the center-of-pressure path for task 2 only. The control group 63 bilaterally assumed a position of greater hip flexion compared to injured participants on their 64 side-matched “involved”(7.41 [6.1°] vs 1.44 [4.8]°; η 2 = .34) and “uninvolved” (9.59 [8.5°] 65 vs 2.16 [5.6°]; η 2 = .31) limbs, with a greater fractal dimension of the center-of-pressure path 66 (involved limb = 1.39 [0.16°] vs 1.25 [0.14°]; uninvolved limb = 1.37 [0.21°] vs 1.23 67 [0.14°]). Interpretation: Bilateral impairment in postural control strategies present following a first time acute lateral ankle sprain.
Baseline characteristics of patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation — single-centre registry

Introduction. The evaluation of clinical profile of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is very important because it determines the choice of antithrombotic and anti-arrhythmic therapy. The presence of concomitant diseases, as well as the age and sex of patients with AF, influence the risk of stroke. The aim of the study was to analyse demographic data and assess the prevalence of concomitant diseases and the risk of thromboembolic and bleeding complications in hospitalized patients with AF. Material and methods. Our study is a single-centre, retrospective registry. The analysis included data of 4,099 patients hospitalized in reference cardiology centre who were discharged with the diagnosis of AF in the years 2004–2012. Results. The analysed group included 4,099 patients with AF; 2,244 study participants (54.7%) were females. Mean age of whole study population was 70.6 years. Chronic AF was diagnosed in 1,875 patients (45.7%). Paroxysmal AF occurred in 1,767 patients (43.1%). The most frequent diseases that coexisted with AF in the study group were: hypertension in 3,067 patients (74.8%), ischaemic heart disease in 2,324 patients (56.7%), and heart failure in 2,247 patients (54.8%). Among study participants, 297 patients (7.2%) were free from risk factors of stroke (CHADS2 = 0); 1,042 patients (25.4%) had CHADS2 score of 1 and 2,760 patients (67.4%) had CHADS2 score of 2 or more points. Conclusions. In our registry of hospitalized patients with AF, the most prevalent group were elderly patients with many concomitant diseases that can be considered as a cause of arrhythmia, but also influence thromboembolic risk in these patients and determine the need for antithrombotic therapy.
Utilization of Complementary and Alternative Medicine Among Adults in Riyadh

The interest in the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has been well documented. Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices (KAP) studies in CAM are critical for paving the way for intervention efforts to raise awareness. The aim was to measure the knowledge and attitudes of adults and to identify the factors associated with the use and practice of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. An observational cross-sectional, community-based, and multi-center study was conducted. After receiving consent, data were collected using a Google form-based online questionnaire. Most of the participants (82.5%) preferred to use CAM in combination with conventional medicine. The most common health problems were menstrual pain (49.5%) and abdominal pain (24.5%). The commonly used CAM remedies in this study were honey (65%) and Zamzam (Believed to be blessed holy water in the Islamic faith) (59.6%). The common causes given by the participants for preferring CAM remedies were because they were natural products (34%) and also avoiding the side effects of drugs (33.5%). Participants younger than 18 were the most supportive age group. Honey was the most chosen modality, contrary to the findings of the Qassim study. It was found that the common cold was the commonest reason for CAM use in the study's population, whereas in the Bahrain study diabetes mellitus was the reason. In conclusion, awareness about CAM was remarkably high among the participants of this study. A high proportion of respondents prefer to use CAM along with traditional medicines. The high proportion use of CAM encountered in this study was remarkable for the health education that addresses both advantages and drawbacks of CAM. Proper scientific research into safety and effectiveness is needed.

THE SCATTERING OF FAST ,a-PARTICLES BY ELECTRONS

AIJBTRACT. In Sec. A a general relativistic treatment is given of the problem of collision of two particles of unequal masses, one being initially at rest; and general expressions connec ting energies, momenta, angles of deflection •. etc., ill C-and L-systems are derived. In Sec. n the relativistic wave statistical formula for the intensity of electron-electron scattering is derived. It is shown to be in decidedly better agreement than Moller's with the experiment of Champion. In Sec. C a general relativistic theory of scattering for unequal masses has been developed.
Toxic Effect of Fertilizers on Inferior Plants Resed as Biological Models

The inopportune throws out of diverse substances in the atmosphere, constitutes without any doubt the obvious of environmental pollution by man. Among these substances, we are interested in the NPK (nitrate –phosphate-potassique). Nitrate fertilizers widely used in farming in our region - Annaba located in the eastern part of Algeria – and manufactured in the same region. In fact, the excessive fertilization, the intensive spreading of animal faeces and the industrial pollution are the accumulation sources of nitrate in vegetables, drilling and the underground waters. The treatment by NPK affect the respiratory metabolism of mosses as well as the measure of the consumption of the oxygen shous the abviousness contrasted with a dampening of respiration but also of the photosynthesis.The perturbation of the respiration and photosynthesis of mosses can explain the degradation of the plant material and the disappearance of certain species from our ecosystem.
Dimensions and subtypes of oppositionality and their relation to comorbidity and psychosocial characteristics

The symptoms of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), or oppositionality, seem to constitute a three-dimensional structure of angry/irritable, vindictiveness and argumentative behavior dimensions. Also, subjects with oppositionality are characterized by different comorbidity and longitudinal trajectories, suggesting that they could be divided into subtypes. This study is the first to examine the dimensions and subtypes of oppositionality in Nordic children. Study participants included 3,435 children aged 7-10 years from the Danish National Birth Cohort. Information was collected using the Development and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA) online version. A three-factor ODD model was identified. The angry/irritable dimension was associated with emotional problems and disorders, fewer social skills and fewer personal positive attributes. The argumentative behavior dimension was associated with hyperactivity/conduct problems, reduced social skills and positive attributes. The vindictiveness dimension was associated with externalizing, internalizing and prosocial problems. Four ODD subtypes were identified. The subtypes with many or mainly angry/irritable symptoms were characterized by comorbid psychopathology, increased functional impairment and psychosocial problems. Children with ODD had fewer positive attributes, more friendship/school problems and higher functional impairment than children with emotional disorders and control group children. Oppositionality consists of three dimensions differently associated with comorbidity and psychosocial characteristics, and the same pattern is seen for the four ODD subtypes identified in this study. Children with ODD experience more adversities and functional impairment than children with emotional disorders. Our results indicate that treatment of children with ODD would improve from extended knowledge on individual ODD dimensions and subtypes and the related child psychosocial characteristics.
Financing social enterprises and the demand for social investment

There is a growing interest in social investment and the provision of loan finance to social enterprises. While there has been much discussion on the supply of finance, research on the demand has been lacking. This paper shows that 15 percent of social enterprises are seeking loan finance, with most of these borrowing from high street banks. Only one in five borrowers or 3.6 percent of all social enterprises are approaching social investors (those lenders that have a social mission), Social enterprises without assets that they can use as collateral are shown to be able to seek finance. Just under 60 percent of borrowers have unsecured finance with commercial banks providing unsecured lending to just under half of their customers. Social enterprises appear to be more successful than other types of small business in getting finance, and those more reliant on grants are more likely to succeed in getting finance, as are those with the public sector contracts as their main source of income. This research allows a clear distinction to be made between social enterprises that are not interested in loan finance, those already receiving, and those that are interested but not able to source loans, or are discouraged. Conclusions are drawn for how best to support these gaps in provision without displacing existing finance.
