Socio-Spatial Analytic of Low-Income Housing Units in Egyptian New Cities, Case Study Teba city

Housing is one of the most important buildings’ typologies, by its universal nature and its relation to one of the most basic human needs, where “Home” reflects the “Human” socio-culture and lifestyle. The issue for people who cannot afford buying their own homes is: “what kind of place they should live in” as their homes are determined by housing authorities, planners, architects, politicians, and social philanthropists, depending on universal and local standards. The standards used to define appropriate living spaces for a person impose significant constraints on personal choice, which would be reflected on housing projects, particularly in new cities, especially for middle-income and low-income families. This paper considers the gap between the characteristics of residents’ socio-culture and lifestyle on one hand, and the available residential units in the real estate market on the other hand, focusing on the housing of low-income families in Egypt. It presents an overview of universal and local standards, and reviews case study housing units according to design standards and residents' needs. Data is analysed and compared syntactically and statistically by using: “DepthmapX software” for the under-consideration models’ syntactical analysis, and “SPSS software” for questionnaire statistical analysis. The results show that these models are not matching nor consistent as spatial structure, although all models represent Egyptian low-income housing typology, in addition to the residents' dissatisfaction with them. Accordingly, this paper results in some guidelines for a residential unit proposed design, while its syntactical and statistical analysis represent clear socio-culture and lifestyle manifests.
COMPOSITE ELEMENT METHOD AND APPLICATION OF TRACE SIMULATION FOR STRAIN LOCALIZATION BANDS

The composite element method(CEM) is used to simulate the effects of strain localization bands,based on which a new trace algorithm of the propagation of strain localization bands is proposed.The softening effects within the strain localization bands are illustrated as the decrease of the material parameters,the locations and directions of all the potential strain localization bands are logged and simulated.With the rock fracture statistics technologyt,he failure passage can be fittedt;he messages of this failure passage together with the messages of the initial grid are then used to generate the topology messages of composite elements,based on which the calculation is repeated to check the trace procedure of the strain localization propagation.The trace algorithm proposed does not request the continuity of strain localization propagation paths,and the interaction among localization band segments can be taken into account.The feasibility and reliability of the algorithm are verified by a slope example.The expectation of the algorithm in engineering practices is shown by the comparative study of the Baozhusi gravity dam project.
Assessment of Resistin Level Using Azithromycin as an Adjunctive to Non-Surgical Treatment of Periodontitis Patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus

Purpose: This study was designed to evaluate the resistin levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of patients suffering from periodontitis and type II diabetes mellitus (TIIDM) after non-surgical periodontal therapy and Azithromycin (AZM) as adjunctive therapy. Subjects and Methods: 48 patients with periodontitis their age ranging between (20-50) years old were selected for this study were divided into three groups: (group I): healthy patients with periodontitis, (group II): controlled TIIDM patients with periodontitis, and (group III): controlled TIIDM patients with periodontitis who were received AZM. All patients received non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) and were examined with the following clinical periodontal parameters which are plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) at baseline, 1 month and 3 months. Collection of GCF samples was done in all patients at baseline, 4 weeks and 6 weeks. Following the periodontal therapy. Quantification of resistin in human samples was measured using resistin ELISA test. Results: NSPT was found to show relative improvement in all clinical parameters as well as a decline in resistin levels. In addition, GCF levels of resistin, GI and PI showed greater reduction after non-surgical treatment in group III than group I and II with nonsignificant difference. Conclusion: NSPT is found to be effective in the management of periodontitis patients with and without diabetes mellitus and also GCF resistin can be a potential biomarker to detect the periodontal disease condition. Also, adjunctive use of AZM showed clinical benefit to patients with periodontitis by its role on host response modulation.

Inventory Management Models in Supply Chain and Students Learning Approach

There are a lot of inventory management models. Some of them are extremely popular and analyzed by researchers quite often, some of them are left behind the topic. Some inventory management models focus on order planning techniques, others on responsibilities of order placement or stock allocation among warehouses. The traditional inventory management model between seller and buyer is called a two-tier model and is the simplest order placement way. It tells which party has the right to manage inventory and fulfil stock under agreed terms and conditions. Based on the roles, these methods are classified and help to improve the availability of the products, increase sales, and freshness with the lowest possible level of inventory throughout the supply chain and costs. A review of models will be presented seeking to extend the knowledge about inventory management in the supply chain. A revision is combined with the empirical part, under which by analyzing educational tool and its application in students’ classes some interesting results were gathered. Further, the methods covering the learning of the inventory management process is compared, and a new learning approach is proposed. Finally, findings, limitations, and future research directions are presented at the end of the paper.
Modeling the Impact of Sea Level Rise on  Maximum Water Elevation During  Storm Surge Events; A Closer Look at Coastal Embayments

Storm-surge models are commonly used to assess the impacts of hurricanes and coastal storms in coastal areas. Including the impact of the projected future sea level rise (SLR) in these models is a necessary step for a realistic flood risk assessment. Commonly, SLR is superimposed linearly on the estimated water elevation. This approach, while efficient, may lead to inaccuracies. Further, developing a new model with updated data that include the impacts of SLR (i.e., nonlinear approach) is time consuming. We compare the linear and nonlinear approaches to include the effect of SLR to predict Maximum Water/Flood Elevations (MWE) as a result of storm surge and SLR. After a simplified theoretical analysis, a number of idealized cases based on the typical coastal bodies of water are modeled to assess the impact of SLR on MWE using the linear superposition and nonlinear approaches. Additionally, two case studies are carried out: Narragansett Bay, RI and Long Island Sound, CT (USA). Results show that for the idealized cases with variable depth, in general, the linear superposition of SLR to MWE is conservative (i.e., predicts a larger flood elevation) relative to the nonlinear approach. However, if a constant depth is considered, results are not consistent (i.e. linear superposition can overestimate or underestimate MWE, and the results depended on the geometry). The simulated MWE from the Narragansett Bay simulation confirms the outcome of idealized cases showing that linear assumption is conservative up to 10\% relative to the nonlinear approach. For this study, Hurricane Sandy and a Synthetic Storm from {the US Army Corps of Engineers} North Atlantic Comprehensive Coastal Study (NACCS) dataset are simulated. Long Island Sound model results are also consistent with the idealized case. In general, based on the results of the idealized and real studies, a discrepancy of up to 10% between the linear and nonlinear approaches is expected in estimation of MWE which can be under- or over-estimation of flood elevation.

According to the characters of the embankment dam with asphaltic concrete core wall, some improvements are made for Duncan-Chang model. The effects of the core wall type on the stresses and strains of the dam body and the core wall itself are researched, and the influences of the creep on dam and core wall are also investigated.
Semi‐automated hydraulic model wrapper to support stakeholder evaluation: A floodplain reconnection study using 2D hydrologic engineering center's river analysis system

Floodplain reconnection projects are largely nature‐based solutions that have great potential to restore channel stability, attenuate stormwater, improve flood resilience, and improve water quality. The suite of possible restoration options for a given study area must consider the multiple uses and functions of river corridors, along with the potential impacts and benefits to adjacent infrastructure. Therefore, decision‐support frameworks designed to help stakeholders compare floodplain reconnection scenarios to best meet site‐specific design objectives are needed. A River Scenario Evaluation Tool (RiverSET) was designed in Python as a wrapper around a two‐dimensional hydraulic model (2D Hydrologic Engineering Center's River Analysis System, 2D HEC‐RAS) to guide an alternative analysis of various floodplain reconnection techniques. RiverSET runs each reconnection scenario in sequence and extracts the values needed to evaluate scenarios at user‐defined regions of interest. The results of these evaluation parameters (depth, duration, stream power, percent time inundated, and velocity) are compiled and displayed for review and synthesis. RiverSET's utility is demonstrated here through a case study on the Black Creek in Vermont, United States, involving five floodplain reconnection scenarios and a variety of stakeholders.
Prediction of hydraulic conductivity of porous media using a statistical grain-size model

Hydraulic conductivity (K) estimation of porous media is of great significance in contaminant movement and groundwater investigations. The present study examines the influence of effective grain-size (d10) and standard deviation (σ) on the K value of borehole soil samples using 5.08, 10.16, and 15.24 cm diameter permeameters. A statistical grain-size model was developed and the feasibility of seven empirical equations was evaluated with the measured K values. The K of soil samples increases with the increase in the d10 grain-size and decreases with the increase in the σ value. Evaluation of K using empirical equations establishes that the Hazen equation shows relatively good agreement with the measured K values. The study substantiates the efficacy of the developed model as the Kmodel and Kmeasured based R2 (determination coefficient), MAE (mean absolute error), and RMSE (root mean square error) values are (0.982, 0.007, and 0.008), (0.972, 0.005, and 0.007), (0.953, 0.004, and 0.005) for 5.08, 10.16, and 15.24 cm diameter permeameters respectively. The developed model was validated by assessing its efficiency in the prediction of K values for independent soil samples. The developed model-based K accedes to the precise computation of the aquifer yield and groundwater recharge.

Culturally Responsive Practices in a Diverse Elementary Classroom: A Case Study

The population in the US continues to grow more diverse leaving schools to face the challenge of meeting the needs of students from varied linguistic backgrounds. In order to create successful learning experiences for English learners from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, teachers need to be educated in culturally responsive pedagogy including understanding their students’ backgrounds, creating positive learning environment, using culturally relevant strategies, and fostering positive home school relations. This article presents a single participant case study as described by Merriam (2009), where one teacher provides her experience implementing culturally responsive practices in her classroom after participating in a TESOL (teaching English to speakers of other languages) professional development program.
The Activity of the Durum Wheat (Triticum durum L.) Catalase 1 (TdCAT1) Is Modulated by Calmodulin

Plant catalases (CAT) are involved in the cellular scavenging of the reactive oxygen species during developmental processes and in response to abiotic and biotic stresses. However, little is known about the regulation of the CAT activity to ensure efficient antioxidant function. Using bioinformatic analyses, we showed that durum wheat catalase 1 (TdCAT1) harbors highly conserved cation-binding and calmodulin binding (CaMBD) domains which are localized at different positions of the protein. As a result, the catalytic activity of TdCAT1 is enhanced in vitro by the divalent cations Mn2+ and Fe2+ and to a lesser extent by Cu2+, Zn2+, and Mg2+. Moreover, the GST-pull down assays performed here revealed that TdCAT1 bind to the wheat CaM (TdCaM1.3) in a Ca2+-independent manner. Furthermore, the TdCaM1.3/Ca2+ complex is stimulated in a CaM-dose-dependent manner by the catalytic activity of TdCAT1, which is further increased in the presence of Mn2+ cations. The catalase activity of TdCAT1 is enhanced by various divalent cations and TdCaM1.3 in a Ca-dependent manner. Such effects are not reported so far and raise a possible role of CaM and cations in the function of CATs during cellular response to oxidative stress.
The Relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Effective Leadership of the First-Line Nurse Managers

Background: The concept of emotional intelligence is a variable that has recently gained much popularity as a potential underlying attribute of effective leadership. Objective: The aim of the present study is to identify the relationship between emotional intelligence and effective leadership. Setting: The study has been carried out in all in-patient medical (N=23) and surgical (N=15) units at Alexandria Main University Hospital. Subjects: Subjects included “200” staff nurses and 38 “first line nurse managers”. Tools: Two tools were used namely, “Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale” (WLEIS), and “the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire” (MLQ 360 degree feedback). Results: Results of this study provide evidence to support the idea that emotional intelligence is positively related to the transformational leadership style, leadership effectiveness, and transactional leadership. Recommendations: Recommendations of this study are geared towards developing emotional intelligence among different levels of nursing administrators through enhancing working environments with open communication between staff and their managers, fostering team building and motivation.
Potencial de disparidad o Mismatch negativity y P3a en pacientes con esquizofrenia

Antecedentes: la esquizofrenia es una enfermedad crónica que genera gran discapacidad, para la cual se han reportado biomarcadores potenciales, pero sin suficiente validez clínica. El mismatch negativity (MMN) y el P3a son potenciales relacionados con eventos que han demostrado ser indicadores neurofisiológicos del procesamiento auditivo pre-atencional y potenciales biomarcadores. Objetivo: evaluar el MMN y P3a en pacientes con diagnóstico de esquizofrenia y su relación con variables sociodemográficas y clínicas. Método: estudio cuantitativo transversal de 23 sujetos con esquizofrenia (ESQ) y 22 controles sanos (SN). Las amplitudes promedio y latencias del MMN/P3a para la condición infrecuente en duración y frecuencia fueron obtenidas mediante un paradigma oddball auditivo en un EEG de 32 canales. Resultados: se encontraron diferencias para la condición frecuencia en la amplitud del MMN (p=0.046; CI 95% 0.009; 0.87) y la amplitud del P3a (p=0.042; CI 95% 0.025; 1.24) entre los grupos; la amplitud del MMN fue menor en el grupo ESQ (-0.36 DE 0.51 µV) en comparación con los participantes del grupo de SN (-0.81 DE 0.89 µV), mientras que la amplitud del P3a fue menor en el grupo SN (0.18 DE 0.97 µV) versus el grupo ESQ (0.82 DE 1.05 µV). En relación con las variables sociodemográficas y clínicas, las asociaciones con el P3a fueron moderadas y con el MMN débiles. Conclusiones: la reducción de la amplitud del MMN a la condición frecuencia exhibe mayor utilidad que el P3a como medida de alta estabilidad en pacientes con esquizofrenia, lo que reitera su posible uso como biomarcador.
Assessing Two Approaches for Enhancing the Range of Simulated Scales in the E3SMv1 and the Impact on the Character of Hourly US Precipitation

Improving the representation of precipitation in Earth system models is essential for understanding and projecting water cycle changes across scales. Progress has been hampered by persistent deficiencies in representing precipitation frequency, intensity, and timing in current models. Here, we analyze simulated US precipitation in the low‐resolution (LR) configuration of the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SMv1) and assess the effect of two approaches to enhance the range of explicitly resolved scales: high‐resolution (HR) and multiscale modeling framework (MMF), which incur similar computational expense. Both E3SMv1‐MMF and E3SMv1‐HR capture more intense and less frequent precipitation on hourly and daily timescales relative to E3SMv1‐LR. E3SMv1‐HR improves the intensity over the Eastern and Northwestern US during winter, while E3SMv1‐MMF improves the intensity over the Eastern US and summer diurnal timing over the Central US. These results indicate that both methods may be needed to improve simulations of different storm types, seasons, and regions.
Diskursus Tafsir Esoteris dalam al-Qur’an

Hadis yang menyatakan bahwa al-Qur’an memiliki dimensi makna eksoteris, zâhir dan esoteris, bâtin secara historis telah berimplikasi pada keniscayaan penafsiran esoteris terhadap al-Qur’an, terutama oleh dan bagi para sufi. Namun eksistensi penafsiran ini beragam, baik dilihat dari sisi epistemologis dan metodologis. Sehingga dirasa penting bagi peneliti untuk membahas diskursus makna esoteris dalam tafsir al-Qur’an dari landasan historis, metodologis dan taksonominya serta perdebatan tentang boleh atau tidaknya penafsiran yang berpegang pada makna ini. Dengan penelitian kepustakaan serta pendekatan historis peneliti ini berkesimpulan 1) Tafsir esoteris memiliki legitimasi historis masa Rasulullah saw dan teologis dari al-Qur’an dan Sunnah; 2) Tafsir esoteris haruslah didasarkan pada makna literalitas, tekstual ayat; 3) Tafsir esoteris yang karena sumbernya adalah wijdâniyyah individu seorang sufi, maka hasil penafsirannya bukanlah kewajiban yang harus diamalkan oleh orang lain.
Prosthetic complications in immediately loaded All-on-Four mandibular prosthesis using titanium wire reinforcement versus non reinforced temporary framework. A Randomized Clinical Trial

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the prosthetic complications resulting from the treatments performed with the All-on-Four concept either with splinted or un-splinted implants using the novel OT bridge system Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on twelve completely edentulous patient aged from 60 to 70 years. An upper and lower removable complete denture were constructed for each eligible patient. CBCT scan was done for the patients to quantify bone volumes at the planned implant sites. All patients received 4 implants to support an “all-on-four” fixed mandibular prosthesis. The patients were randomly divided into two equal groups. The first group patients received an immediately loaded all-on-four mandibular prosthesis with un-splinted abutments. While the second group patients received an immediately loaded all on four mandibular prosthesis where the abutments were splinted together with titanium wire. Immediate loading was performed by converting the patients’ existing denture into a fixed prosthesis by a picking up procedure at the day of implant placement. Prosthetic complications were evaluated for the temporary immediately loaded prosthesis in a 6-month period. Results: In this study the overall prosthetic complications for those patients treated with splinted or un-splinted all on four technique was as follows: for Group I (un-splinted implants), total incidence of patients showed at least one Prosthetic complication were 12 (100%) patients, while 4 (33.3%) patients showed at least one Prosthetic complications in (Group II). Conclusion: From this study it can be concluded that the All-on-four concept with immediate loading is a procedure that is viable and could be helpful in completely edentulous patients. However, it can predispose the patient to some prosthetic complications specially when the implants are unsplinted with titanium wires.
Reasons to exercise among college men from Argentina, Brazil, United States of America and France

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between reasons for exercising, the body mass index and concerns about exercise routine, food and appearance among male college student from Argentina, Brazil, France and the USA. Five hundred sixty nine male college students (1830 years old) answered an online questionnaire composed of sociodemographic questions, nutritional status, physical exercise data and eating attitudes. The effect of the country, type of exercise and reasons for exercising over other variables were evaluated by generalized linear models; and the evaluation of categorical variables associations was done by Pearson Chi-square Test. The interaction’s effect of the country and the main reasons for exercising over the concerns about food and appearance was greater than the effect of each variable individually (r2 = .051; p < .05), and it was also observed with regard to BMI (r2 = .073; p < .05). Our results showed that there were some similarities in the relationship between college students and physical exercise. However, the differences observed were related to the interactions of the country with the main reasons for exercising (or the main type of exercise) that showed the greatest effects over BMI and concerns about exercise routine, food and appearance.
