Urban sediment in infiltration wells: A lesson from the northern area of greater Yogyakarta city

The development of housing in Yogyakarta eventually led to increased levels of runoff. To mitigate runoff increases, infiltration wells were constructed in a specific network. The northern part of Yogyakarta is now facing urbanization, and there are many housing blocks that are being constructed complete with the runoff drainage system. This study aims to reveal the role of the infiltration wells network about runoff and its effectiveness concerning the sediment load in the urban area. The drainage networks in the research area function as a watershed, but not with a single outlet. The runoff flow was spreading through the drainage system and did not accumulate on the single outlet. It can be seen that some infiltration wells supposed as a well, which is a place of accumulation of runoff and sediment. Most of the infiltration wells have been filled with sediment up to over a quarter, or even more than half, of their carrying volume. Granulometry measurement shows that the percentage of clay, loam, sand, and gravel in each well tend to differ for every sample. The differences between filled wells and their sediment grain depend on the location of those wells. Maintenance of the wells is required, such as sediment dredging, to rejuvenate them and improve their efficiency.
A Single-Stage Inductive-Power-Transfer Converter for Constant-Power and Maximum-Efficiency Battery Charging

This article proposes a single-stage inductive-power-transfer (IPT) converter operating as a wireless constant-power (CP) and maximum-efficiency battery charger. By maintaining a constant output power rather than providing a constant output current throughout the dominant stage of battery charging, the IPT converter can make the utmost of its power capability, thus having a faster charging rate. The proposed single-stage IPT converter adopts series–series compensation and includes a switch-controlled capacitor (SCC) and a semiactive rectifier (SAR) in the secondary side. Manipulating the SCC and the SAR to emulate the optimum impedance of the resonator and the load, we propose a novel operation approach combining the merits of load-independent transfer characteristic and load impedance matching, to achieve a simple solution to CP charging and maximum efficiency throughout the charging process. Since the control scheme is based on fixed operating frequency and secondary-side real-time regulation, wireless feedback communication is not required. Moreover, soft switching and low voltage stress can be easily achieved in this IPT converter.
Robust Vehicle Detection on Multi- Resolution Aerial Images

Detecting vehicles in aerial images is one of the core components for intelligent transportation system. This task is challenging due to the comparably small size of the target objects, the complex background and multi-perspective views. It is particularly difficult for the real-time detection cases where only several tens of milliseconds delays are allowed. In this paper, we propose an approach to detect vehicles from aerial images with different resolutions and perspectives in an approximate real-time manner. The proposed model is robust and can detect vehicles in various detection scenarios. It can detect vehicles from an image within 47 milliseconds. We evaluate our method on a challenging data set of original aerial images over Munich and our data set collected using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The experimental results have demonstrated that our proposed method is superior to the state-of-the- art algorithms with respect to accuracy, recall and detection time.
The Dr. John Hall story: a case study in putative “Haunted People Syndrome”

ABSTRACT Research suggests a “Haunted People Syndrome (HP-S)” defined by recurrent and systematic perceptions of anomalous subjective and objective anomalies. Such signs or symptoms are traditionally attributed to “spirits and the supernatural,” but these themes are hypothesised to morph to “surveillance and stalking” in reports of “group-(or gang) stalking,” We tested this premise with a quali-quantitative exercise that mapped group-stalking experiences from a published first-hand account to a Rasch measure of haunt-type anomalies. This comparison found significant agreement in the specific “signs or symptoms” of both phenomena. Meta-patterns likewise showed clear conceptual similarities between the phenomenology of haunts and group-stalking. Findings are consistent with the idea that both anomalous episodes involve the same, or similar, attentional or perceptual processes and thereby support the viability of the HP-S construct.
AN ACCENTUATED PERSONALITY’S TRAITS AS A FACTOR OF CONFLICT MANAGEMENT STYLES AT WOMEN STUDENTS (A UKRAINIAN SAMPLE)

The article purpose is to present and discuss the results of the empirical study on the frequency, structure of women students’ accentuated traits and such traits influence on their conflict management styles. The study was conducted with 104 undergraduate women students aged of 21-23 years from March 2019 to May 2019. Schmieschek Questionnaire and Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument were used. The article present contradictory facts confirming and, at the same time, denying the significant differences in accentuated traits characteristic for women students in Ukraine and in the Russian Federation. So, it confirms the necessity to diagnose accentuated traits for every new sample with certain age, gender, political, socio-economic, socio-psychological and others peculiarities. Seven out of ten accentuated traits (hyperthymia, rigidity, emotiveness, pedantry, anxiety, cyclothymia, excitation) influence to a some degree on women students’ conflict management styles, besides of others factors. Hyperthymia, rigidity and emotiveness influence the most strongly. Pedantry, anxiety, cyclothymia, excitation have moderate influence. Demonstrativeness, dysthymia, exaltation do not influence considerably. Rigidity, emotiveness, pedantry, and anxiety support some conflict management styles. Hyperthymia, cyclothymia, excitation make a barrier for certain styles. Four types of connections between women students’ accentuated traits and their conflict management styles were formed. These are strong attractive (rigidity and competing, emotiveness and accommodating) and strong blocking (excitation and accommodating, demonstrativeness and avoiding), moderate attractive (anxiety and competing, pedantry and competing, dysthymia and avoiding) and moderate blocking (hyperthymia and avoiding, cyclothymia and accommodating) types.

The term of viral hepatitis is reserved to the infection of the liver caused by a small group of viruses having a particular affinity to the liver (3, 4) . Hepatitis B virus constitutes a major economic and public health problem throughout the world, due to the high rate of morbidity, mortality and the development of chronic carrier state which may progress to chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular
Football matches: Decision making in betting

The aim of this paper is to approach the teaching of the Poisson distribution in a friendly and amusing way. It constitutes a common practice to adopt the main probability distributions in order to predict results of sport events and to estimate the win return of betting activities (Chalikias 2009). In particular, by using the Poisson distribution, we can calculate the probability of the final score in a football match, and then we can compare this probability with the values that various betting companies offer. Combining this information with the average of goals for both, it is possible to make a decision as to which betting company is more profitable for the betting players. The case study of the English Premier League is examined.

ESTRUCTURA GENÉTICA DE POBLACIONES DE Pinus cembroides DE LA REGIÓN CENTRAL DE MÉXICO

Pinus cembroides es el pino piñonero con la más amplia distribución e importancia económica y social en México. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar los niveles y patrones de variación genética de ocho poblaciones de P. cembroides de la región central de México mediante marcadores ISSR (Inter-secuencias simples repetidas). Las poblaciones se distribuyen en dos provincias fisiográficas, la Sierra Madre Oriental y la Mesa del Centro. Los iniciadores utilizados generaron un total de 154 bandas, de las cuales 88.3 % fueron polimórficas a nivel de especie. La diversidad genética promedio en las poblaciones fue alta (He = 0.22), el porcentaje de polimorﬁsmo promedio fue 59.2 %. Los parámetros de diversidad genética fueron más altos en las poblaciones de la Sierra Madre Oriental. La mayor parte de la diversidad genética se encontró dentro de las poblaciones (74 %) y sólo el 26 % entre éstas. De acuerdo con el valor de GST = 0.28, existe alta diferenciación entre las poblaciones. El nivel de flujo génico, considerado como el número de individuos migrantes, fue bajo (Nm = 1.27) entre las poblaciones en las dos regiones. Se encontró baja pero significativa correlación entre la distancia geográfica y la distancia genética de las poblaciones en las dos regiones.
Improvements in standardised test scores from a multi-component nutrition and healthy living intervention in a US elementary-school setting

Objective: The Healthier Options for Public Schoolchildren (HOPS) intervention aimed simultaneously to change school policies regarding the nutritional content of school-provided meals, nutrition and healthy lifestyle curricula, and other school-based wellness activities. Researchers examined how HOPS affected students’ academic achievement, attendance and behaviour. Design: Longitudinal study of 23,335 elementary-school students aged 4–16 years enlisted in kindergarten to grade 8 in the 2005–2006 school year and followed through until the 2008–2009 school year. Setting: HOPS was implemented in 11 Buffalo (New York) public elementary schools at the start of 2007–2008 school year and concluded in January 2009; 34 other district elementary schools were chosen for comparison. Method: Administrative records were obtained containing student demographics, mathematics and English test scores, and attendance and disciplinary records. A difference-in-differences approach was used to measure the HOPS intervention’s effect on mathematics and English test scores and the proportion of days present or not suspended. Significance was tested at 1% and 5% levels. Results: Analysis comparing students in intervention and comparison schools revealed an increase in standardised mathematics test scores among all students (p < .05), with particularly strong impacts on girls (p < .01), African American and Hispanic students (p < .01) and economically advantaged students (p < .01). HOPS had an adverse impact on attendance and disciplinary referrals (p < .01), although the effects were small. Conclusion: When considering the implementation of a school-based wellness programme, administrators should consider its academic benefits. Research into the effectiveness of programmes such as HOPS at improving cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes of school-aged children is particularly relevant given recent US Department of Agriculture rollback of whole grain, sodium and milk requirements.
Occupational Medicine Professor´s Participation in Erasmus+: Academic Staff Exchange Programme

Erasmus+ is the EU´s programme to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe. The intention of this work is to present the Croatian Occupational Medicine professor´s experience, who as a lecturer partecipated at three foreign institutes through Erasmus+ Programme: in Umea, Sweden in 2014, Bologna, Italy in 2015, Vienna, Austria in 2017. Already in 2009 the professor delivered five lectures at the Institute of Occupational medicine in Trieste, Italy, which was equivalent to future activities in Erasmus+ Programme. The paper gives benefit assessment of such participations on the basis of personal experience as well as the institute comparisons, for both the guest lecturer and for the host. The lectures were performed and confirmations from host institutions were issued. However, on this level of cooperation it is expected something more, for example establishing the basis of future cooperation with visited universities, reciprocal professors’ visits to our University, as well as opening doors for students, collaboration on projects and patient exchange and their treatment. This paper discusses what of all is achieved at a particular institute.
Hidden Markov Model-based Load Balancing in Data Center Networks

Modern data centers provide multiple parallel paths for end-to-end communications. Recent studies have been done on how to allocate rational paths for data flows to increase the throughput of data center networks. A centralized load balancing algorithm can improve the rationality of the path selection by using path bandwidth information. However, to ensure the accuracy of the information, current centralized load balancing algorithms monitor all the link bandwidth information in the path to determine the path bandwidth. Due to the excessive link bandwidth information monitored by the controller, however, much time is consumed, which is unacceptable for modern data centers. This paper proposes an algorithm called hidden Markov Model-based Load Balancing (HMMLB). HMMLB utilizes the hidden Markov Model (HMM) to select paths for data flows with fewer monitored links, less time cost, and approximate the same network throughput rate as a traditional centralized load balancing algorithm. To generate HMMLB, this research first turns the problem of path selection into an HMM problem. Secondly, deploying traditional centralized load balancing algorithms in the data center topology to collect training data. Finally, training the HMM with the collected data. Through simulation experiments, this paper verifies HMMLB’s effectiveness.
Anemia in children: A cross sectional study in a tertiary care centre

Introduction: Anemia in children may be due to a single cause or multiple causes and affects the child’s health as well as their physical and cognitive development, immunity, thereby making them more sensitive to infections and mortality. Materials and Methods: 150 children were subjected to clinical examiantions and investigations such as complete blood picture, hemoglobin and hematocrit estimation, ova and cyst identification hematological examination and biochemical reactions such as serum iron, serum ferritin, transferrin saturation was done. Results: 42% were males and 58% were females in the present study. Most of the children (34%) were between the ages of 12-23 months, followed by 22.7% between 1 -11 months old and 18.7% were between 24–35 months. Diarrhoea was the chief complaint in 16%, 10% with respiratory tract illness and 4.7% with asthma. The nutritional status of most of the patients was normal. Conclusion: Diet which is deficient in iron and its supplements is the main cause for anemia in the children below 5 years. Adequate education regarding the importance of health hygiene and sanitation along with importance of the proper nutrition is of utmost importance to the parents of these children and to the pregnant women. Keywords: Anemia, children, Nutritional diet.
Implementing an Evidence Based Practice Guideline to Standardize the Care of Adults with Type 2 Diabetes

to the Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders Nurses Association (AAPINA) Conference in March 4, 2016, and the Association of American Diabetes Educators (AADE) in August 12, 2016, highlighting the role of care coordinators in improving HbA1c after glycemic relapse.
Use of communication plans by certified nursing assistants: little things mean a lot

ABSTRACT Background: Many residents in long-term care facilities in the United States have communication disorders that impede interactions with staff, particularly certified nursing assistants (CNAs) who provide direct care and are in a position to communicate with residents the most. Researchers in Canada have successfully used individualized communication plans to facilitate staff–resident communication in long-term care settings, but the viability of using communication plans to facilitate staff–resident communication in long-term care facilities in the United States has not been investigated. Aims: This study sought to determine the usefulness of communication plans by CNAs working in long-term care settings when providing personal care to residents with communication disorders and to explore the role support from the speech-language pathologist (SLP) might play in this process. Method & Procedures: The study used a grounded theory qualitative research design. Participants included 10 CNAs working in two long-term care facilities. Each CNA chose two residents with a communication disorder whom they felt might benefit from a communication plan. Communication plans were collaboratively developed by the SLP and the CNA for the selected residents. CNAs used the plans to facilitate communication during daily care of their residents for two weeks. Five CNAs from one facility received support from the SLP; five CNAs from a second facility did not. Following 2 weeks of communication plan use, all CNAs were interviewed. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and data were analyzed using open, axial, and selective coding per grounded theory methodology. Outcomes & Results: Findings indicated that communication plans were useful in facilitating CNA–resident communication. CNA’s negative views of certain aspects of their jobs were altered positively through use of communication plans. They gradually became more familiar with residents which made work less effortful and enriched relationships with residents. Findings also indicated that support for CNAs from a SLP may provide an incentive to use information in the communication plan to more effectively communicate with the resident while providing daily personal care and potentially improving the quality of that care. Conclusions: Communication plans are useful to CNAs in facilitating communication with residents in long-term care facilities and a minimal amount of support from the SLP enhances this process.
Wind farm layout optimization based on numerical simulations.

This work consists in developing a tool for wind farm layout optimization based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of the atmospheric wind flow and inter-turbine interference. Since it is not feasible to simulate a whole wind farm using the complete geometry of the wind turbines, the need for models to represent their effects on the wind flow and the interference of one turbine on the others arises, and the most commonly used model is the Actuator Disk model and its variations. The procedure for wind turbine behavior evaluation using a CFD model was implemented in the OpenFOAM software, and this model was coupled with the Dakota optimization toolkit. A Genetic Algorithm was selected for the optimization task due to its robustness and the characteristics of the problem solved. With this new tool in hand, three different terrain cases were tested considering different numbers of turbines on a cylindrical domain in order to achieve the best wind farm layout in terms of AEP that respects the imposed physical restrictions. The optimization process was successful, leading to the maximization of the AEP. In addition, the algorithm correctly avoided the wakes generated by the upstream wind turbines for each case and was able to take advantage of the wake-terrain interaction during the optimization process. It was concluded that the results are promising despite the high computational resources required.
