Authors: Николаева (Зайцева) Наталья , Nicolaeva (Zaytseva) Natalya , Николаев Олег , Nikolaev Oleg
Published: January 2018

The article analyzes the main negative psycho-emotional conditions that are relevant in the professional environment of law enforcement officers. The causes and manifestations of these conditions in certain situations are analyzed with reference to the results of empirical studies of stress and the conclusions of well-known authors. A significant place in the work is given to the basic principles and the simplest ways of getting out of these states in the sphere of law enforcement practice, the specific features of which provoke conflict psychoemotional states among employees. The interrelation of the psychological specifics of the activity of police officers with the individual and personal characteristics of employees, which overcome these conditions in different ways, is analyzed.

Authors: Петров Владислав , Petrov Vladislav , Мальцева Татьяна , Maltseva Tatyana
Published: January 2018

The article is aimed at comparing of the possibilities of using of special psychological equipment. The possibilities of such devices as Voyager, APEK, Disnet, Polisink, Orion-Galaxy were analyzed. Five parameters of comparison were identified: functionality, efficiency, compactness, reliability, cost. Each of the parameters of the device was evaluated by experts on a 3-point scale. Consolidated results allowed to rank the means of psychocorrection in terms of the success rate of application. The first place was allocated to the system of audio-visual rhythmimulation "Orion-Galaxy". The second and third places were divided between Voyager and Polisink. The possibilities of the audiovisual complex "Disnet" (fourth place) are somewhat limited. The return from the apparatus of psychoemotional correction of APEK was doubtful. Our analysis of audio-visual stimulation devices allows us to expand the range of psycho-corrective tools available to the psychologist. The material is aimed at improving the psychological work with the personnel of law enforcement agencies.

Comparing Instructional and Assessment Strategy Use in Graduate- and Undergraduate-Level Leadership Studies: A Global Study
Authors: Jenkins Daniel M.
Published: January 2018

This study compares the differences in instructional and assessment strategy use between instructors who teach undergraduate- and graduate-level face-to-face, academic credit-bearing leadership studies courses. Findings suggest that, overall, discussion-based pedagogies, case studies, and self-assessments are the most frequently used instructional strategies, while instructors attach the most weight in their courses to term papers, group projects, and class participation/attendance. Further, undergraduate-level instructors use service learning far more in their instruction, while graduate instructors attach much greater value to term papers.
The use of acuity and frailty measures for district nursing workforce plans
Authors: David Ami , Saunders Mary
Published: January 2018

This article discusses the use of Quest acuity and frailty measures for community nursing interventions to quantify and qualify the contributions of district nursing teams. It describes the use of a suite of acuity and frailty tools tested in 8 UK community service trusts over the past 5years. In addition, a competency assessment tool was used to gauge both capacity and capability of individual nurses. The consistency of the results obtained from the Quest audits offer significant evidence and potential for realigning community nursing services to offer improvements in efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The National Quality Board (NQB) improvement resource for the district nursing services ( NQB, 2017 ) recommends a robust method for classifying patient acuity/frailty/dependency. It is contended the Quest tools and their usage articulated here offer a suitable methodology.
The personal and professional importance of post-registration postgraduate education
Authors: Walker Louise , Spendlove Zoey
Published: January 2018

The nature of both pre-registration and post-registration midwifery education has changed dramatically over the last two decades, being firmly established within academia and the higher education domain. Notwithstanding the changes to midwifery education, midwives' perceptions of post-registration education, and continual professional development in particular, are mixed. The terms professional training and post-registration education are used interchangeably despite representing different goals. This article will explore professional perceptions of the post-registration educational journey, the concept of further academic development for individual midwives through postgraduate study and how engagement of midwives in postgraduate study could benefit both individual midwives and the collective profession of midwifery.

Contraception and sexual health in women over 40
Authors: Kipps Sarah
Published: January 2018

Effective contraception is needed until women reach the menopause. Contraceptive choices can be problematic in women over 40 years old as the risk of comorbidities increases. Sarah Kipps discusses.

A woman's fertility declines as they get older. Despite this, contraception is advised until women become postmenopausal. Contraception can be problematic in women over the age of 40 years as their risk of other morbidities increases. Contraception can be stopped in women over 50 years old if their periods have stopped for 1 year and under 50 years old if their periods have stopped for 2 years. In women using contraception that affects periods, health professionals can assess menopausal symptoms. Follicle-stimulating hormone may be a useful measure in some cases. Women can be advised that contraception can be stopped at the age of 55 years. Women over the age of 40 years are still at risk of sexually transmitted infections and the incidence in this age group is increasing. Perimenopausal women can also suffer from vulvo-vaginal atrophy and sexual dysfunction. Health professionals should be prepared to discuss this at consultation.
A note on the karyotype and morphology of the ant Platythyrea sinuata (Roger, 1860) (Formicidae, Ponerinae, Plathytyreini
Authors: Silva-Rocha Patrícia Nayara Caldas , Correia Joao Paulo Sales Oliveira , Mariano Clea Santos Ferreira , Delabie Jacques Hubert Charles , Costa Marco Antonio
Published: January 2018

The taxonomic status of Platythyrea is still confused because there is high phenotypic plasticity, possible taxonomic synonyms and morphological proximity with other species of the same genus. The correct identification of Platythyrea sinuata depends on interdisciplinary analyzes with a morphological and genetic approach. Here we provide the description of karyotype for P. sinuata, 2k=24M+20A with CMA3+/DAPI- on single chromosome. This data will be helpful to the understanding of the taxonomic status of this species.
Seasonal cycle of the nest composition in the Ponerine ant Cryptopone sauteri (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Authors: Yamaguchi Yuki , Yazawa Hiromi , Iwanishi Satoru , Kudô Kazuyuki
Published: January 2018

The annual life history is a basic and important factor in ecological studies on temperate ant species. The biology of Ponerinae species has been studied for many species, but little attention has been paid to their life history. Cryptopone sauteri is one of the most common ants in temperate regions of Japan. However, there is no quantitative information on the life history of this species. We report seasonal changes in brood development, the emergence of reproductives and social structures of C. sauteri. Additionally, we discuss that this species possibly exhibits a polydomous nesting system.
Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and Spiders (Araneae) Co-occurring on the Ground of Vineyards from Douro Demarcated Region
Authors: Gonçalves Fátima , Zina Vera , Carlos Cristina , Crespo Luís , Oliveira Irene , Torres Laura
Published: January 2018

This study, held in vineyards from Douro Demarcated Region, aimed to: a) identify the communities and main functional groups of spiders and ants; b) check patterns of co-occurrence between the two communities; and c) evaluate the impact of ground cover and adjacent non-crop habitats in the proximity of vineyards, on the two communities. Samplings were done using pitfall trapping. Twenty species of ants and 44 species of spiders were identified, which included respectively three and nine Iberian endemic species. Aphaenogaster gibbosa (Latreille 1798), Aphaenogaster iberica Emery 1908, Cataglyphis hispanica (Emery 1906), Cataglyphis iberica (Emery 1906), Messor barbarus (L. 1767) and Tapinoma nigerrimum (Nylander 1856) totalized 71.21% of ants. Alopecosa albofasciata (Brullé 1832), Callilepis concolor Simon 1914, Eratigena feminea Simon 1870, Zodarion alacre (Simon 1870) and Zodarion styliferum (Simon 1870) accounted for 38% of spiders. Abundance of both ant-mimicking and ant-eating spiders were positively correlated with Formicinae, while only ant-eating spiders showed positive correlation with Myrmicinae ants. All genera/ species of ant-associated spider were associated with one or more genera/ specie of ants. The abundance of specialist spiders was higher in areas where abundance of ants was also higher. Sheet web weavers spiders were found to be positively correlated with the percentage of ground cover. The present study a) stresses that vineyard agroecosystem support a rich assemblage of ants and spiders evincing that wine production and species conservation is possible and b) the co-occurrence between some species of this two groups is not determined by random patterns.

Diisopropylamine as a single catalyst in the synthesis of aryl disulfides
Authors: Kuciński Krzysztof , Hreczycho Grzegorz
Published: January 2018

The search for less time-consuming and inexpensive methods for the synthesis of disulfides continues to be a hot subject of research. Herein, we report that diisopropylamine (iPr2NH) can act as a very effective catalyst for this process. The oxidative coupling of aryl thiols was carried out in the presence of catalytic amount ofiPr2NH in air (room temperature) in acetonitrile, without metal catalyst, additives, or external activators. This procedure opens a low-cost, green, and industrially applicable synthetic pathway to obtain aryl disulfides.
L2-error analysis of an isoparametric unfitted finite element method for elliptic interface problems
Authors: Lehrenfeld Christoph , Reusken Arnold
Published: January 2018

In the context of unfitted finite element discretizations the realization of high order methods is challenging due to the fact that the geometry approximation has to be sufficiently accurate. Recently a new unfitted finite element method was introduced which achieves a high order approximation of the geometry for domains which are implicitly described by smooth level set functions. This method is based on a parametric mapping which transforms a piecewise planar interface (or surface) reconstruction to a high order approximation. In the paper [C. Lehrenfeld and A. Reusken,IMA J. Numer. Anal.38(2018), No. 3, 1351–1387] ana priorierror analysis of the method applied to an interface problem is presented. The analysis reveals optimal order discretization error bounds in theH1-norm. In this paper we extend this analysis and derive optimalL2-error bounds.
The Felt Body and Embodied Communication
Authors: Schmitz Hermann
Published: January 2018

In the 4th and 5th centuries B.C. the most significant paradigm change in Western intellectual culture occurred, later affecting Christianity and subsequently science. In the interest of personal empowerment over spontaneous stirrings, a private inner sphere, a so-called soul (psyche) was ascribed to every conscious subject which was taken to contain their whole experience, like a house, conceived of as an inner world in which reason was to be the master of spontaneous impulses; the empirical external world between these inner spheres was cleansed of all gripping forces and, for this purpose, ground down to a few elegantly selected types of features and their carriers (atoms, substances): the remainder of this grindingdown was deposited in the souls or overlooked to nonetheless be found in the souls in changed form. Man was dissected into body and soul. In the transposition into the soul’s huge amounts of life experience were forgotten. Among them can be counted the felt body which disappeared between body and soul as in a crevasse, even though it is the closest thing to human experience.
Felt-Bodily Resonances
Authors: Griffero Tonino
Published: January 2018

Moving from a (new) phenomenological theory of the lived body (Leib), the text outlines its constitutive (pre-reflective) role in human experience but especially in aesthetic perception. Against every reductionist and introjectionist objectification of the lived experience, every explanatory hypothesis of associationist and projectivist type, a pathic aesthetics ‒ that emphasizes the affective involvement that the perceiver feels unable to critically react to or mitigate the intrusiveness of ‒ is an adequate investigation of the felt body as sounding board of outside atmospheres and Stimmungen. By means of its specific dynamics and lived “isles”, in fact the felt body feels what happens in the surrounding area without drawing on the five senses and the perceptual body schema. Felt-bodily isles turn out exactly to be both a tool for sensing the affective radiation provoked by atmospheres and quasi-things, and “places” that, communicating with each other and with our consciousness, are themselves quasi-things.
Living in the Moment
Authors: Slaby Jan
Published: January 2018

It was not only in his infamous speeches as NSDAP-approved Führer- Rektor of Freiburg University that Heidegger advocated what can be seen as an ‘activist’ understanding of human existence. To exist, according to this approach, means to be called upon to take charge of one’s life - actively, responsibly, authentically - whether mandated by Volk and Führer or not. Heideggerian resoluteness amounts to being active in a deep sense, a view articulated during the Rektoratszeit in the form of an outright equation of dasein and work. I will revisit Heidegger’s phenomenology of boredom in Basic Concepts of Metaphysics, and contrast it with passages from Fernando Pessoa’s Book of Disquiet. Pessoa presents a radical counterpoint to Heidegger, utterly at odds with his intellectual and political persona. Insofar as the early Heidegger still represents the sinister forces ruling on the death star of western metaphysics, Pessoa carries the light that can set us on a path toward very different horizons for thinking being.
Phenomenology of Embodied Intersubjectivity
Authors: Wenzel Christian Helmut
Published: January 2018

Hermann Schmitz has developed a “New Phenomenology.” It emphasizes fundamental conceptions that undercut traditional subject-object distinctions. In the Chinese classic The Zhuangzi we find stories that describe involvements and dialogue that can be seen as doing something similar. I will bring out some of these parallels. In particular I will focus on freedom and mutual understanding.
Precarious Bodies: Occupational Risk Assemblages in Bolivia and Trinidad
Authors: Prentice Rebecca , Trueba Mei
Published: January 2018

This article develops the concept of “precarious bodies” to theorise the lived experience of labour precariousness in the twenty-first century and its implications for workers’ health, well-being and household reproduction. Drawing on ethnographic research with Bolivian miners and Trinidadian garment workers, we explore the relationship between workers’ exposure to global market forces and their everyday experiences of work, health and risk in these industries. “Precarious bodies” is a heuristic that takes into a single frame the macro-level economic and regulatory processes that create risks for workers, and the various ways in which workers negotiate these risks through their work practices and livelihood choices. We show precarious bodies to be both vulnerable and strategic. Positioned in situations of exploitation and risk, their choices to protect their livelihoods can harm their health and reinforce – rather than counteract – the precarious circumstances of their households.
The Relationship between Labour NGOs and Chinese Workers in an Authoritarian Regime
Authors: Chan Anita
Published: January 2018

Labour NGOs have played a role, especially in southern China, in raising Chinese workers’ consciousness. This paper takes a historical perspective and argues that the relationship between labour NGOs and workers has changed in the past three decades, from one of workers’ dependency on Chinese labour NGOs and these NGOs’ dependency, in turn, on foreign NGOs in an asymmetrical relationship, to one more of partnership. More recently, some groups of workers have become cognisant of a divergence of interests between themselves and NGO advisors. The evolving relationship is analysed against the backdrop of an authoritarian political regime that necessitates all the actors to strategise in complex ways. A coordinated wave of strikes and other collective actions at Chinese Walmart stores in 2016 provides a case study.
Lower Extremity Strength and Recovery Time in Youth Baseball Pitchers: A Pilot Study
Authors: Livingston Jennifer L. , Tavoukjian Nicholas M.
Published: January 2018

Livingston, JL and Tavoukjian, NM. Lower extremity strength and recovery time in youth baseball pitchers: a pilot study. J Strength Cond Res 34(7): 1990–1998, 2020—The purpose of this study was to investigate the Little League pitching regulations by measuring the change in lower extremity force production after a pitching performance and the subsequent days of rest required for youth baseball pitchers to recover. Bilateral manual muscle testing of the gluteus maximus, hamstrings, gluteus medius, triceps surae, and quadriceps was conducted using a handheld dynamometer. Fifteen healthy, youth baseball pitchers (9.80 ± 1.08 years) threw a submaximal number of pitches and were tested before, immediately after, and for the next 4 consecutive days. Time in days required per muscle group to return to baseline force production levels were compared with Little League rest guidelines for pitchers. Results indicated that Little League rest requirements did not allow for sufficient recovery of lower extremity strength (p = 0.017). Results suggest that current Little League pitching guidelines provide an inadequate recovery period for youth pitchers, even when pitching a submaximal volume. Little League pitch count regulations and associated rest days may require revisions to avoid having youth athletes pitch while fatigued.

De Souza, EO, Tricoli, V, Rauch, J, Alvarez, MR, Laurentino, G, Aihara, AY, Cardoso, FN, Roschel, H, and Ugrinowitsch, C. Different patterns in muscular strength and hypertrophy adaptations in untrained individuals undergoing non-periodized and periodized strength regimens. J Strength Cond Res 32(5): 1238–1244, 2018—This study investigated the effects of nonperiodized (NP), traditional periodization (TP), and daily undulating periodization (UP) regimens on muscle strength and hypertrophy in untrained individuals. Thirty-three recreationally active males were randomly divided into 4 groups: NP: n = 8; TP: n = 9; UP: n = 8, and control group (C): n = 8. Experimental groups underwent a 12-week strength training program consisting of 2 sessions per week. Muscle strength and quadriceps cross-sectional area (QCSA) were assessed at baseline, 6 weeks (i.e., mid-point) and after 12 weeks. All training groups increased squat 1RM from pre to 6 weeks mid (NP: 17.02%, TP: 7.7%, and UP: 12.9%, p ≤ 0.002) and pre to post 12 weeks (NP: 19.5%, TP: 17.9%, and UP: 20.4%, p ≤ 0.0001). Traditional periodization was the only group that increased squat 1RM from 6 weeks mid to 12-week period (9.4%, p ≤ 0.008). All training groups increased QCSA from pre to 6 weeks mid (NP: 5.1%, TP: 4.6%, and UP: 5.3%, p ≤ 0.0006) and from pre to post 12 weeks (NP: 8.1%, TP: 11.3%, and UP: 8.7%, p ≤ 0.0001). From 6 weeks mid to 12-week period, TP and UP were the only groups that increased QCSA (6.4 and 3.7%, p ≤ 0.02). There were no significant changes for all dependent variables in C group across the time (p ≥ 0.05). In conclusion, our results demonstrated similar training-induced adaptations after 12 weeks of NP and periodized regimens. However, our findings suggest that in the latter half of the study (i.e., after the initial 6 weeks), the periodized regimens elicited greater rates of muscular adaptations compared with NP regimens. Strength coaches and practitioners should be aware that periodized regimens might be advantageous at latter stages of training even for untrained individuals.
Neurons in Primate Entorhinal Cortex Represent Gaze Position in Multiple Spatial Reference Frames
Authors: Meister Miriam L.R. , Buffalo Elizabeth A.
Published: January 2018

Primates rely predominantly on vision to gather information from the environment and neurons representing visual space and gaze position are found in many brain areas. Within the medial temporal lobe, a brain region critical for memory, neurons in the entorhinal cortex of macaque monkeys exhibit spatial selectivity for gaze position. Specifically, the firing rate of single neurons reflects fixation location within a visual image (Killian et al., 2012). In the rodents, entorhinal cells such as grid cells, border cells, and head direction cells show spatial representations aligned to visual environmental features instead of the body (Hafting et al., 2005; Sargolini et al., 2006; Solstad et al., 2008; Diehl et al., 2017). However, it is not known whether similar allocentric representations exist in primate entorhinal cortex. Here, we recorded neural activity in the entorhinal cortex in two male rhesus monkeys during a naturalistic, free-viewing task. Our data reveal that a majority of entorhinal neurons represent gaze position and that simultaneously recorded neurons represent gaze position relative to distinct spatial reference frames, with some neurons aligned to the visual image and others aligned to the monkey's head position. Our results also show that entorhinal neural activity can be used to predict gaze position with a high degree of accuracy. These findings demonstrate that visuospatial representation is a fundamental property of entorhinal neurons in primates and suggest that entorhinal cortex may support relational memory and motor planning by coding attentional locus in distinct, behaviorally relevant frames of reference.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe entorhinal cortex, a brain area important for memory, shows striking spatial activity in rodents through grid cells, border cells, head direction cells, and nongrid spatial cells. The majority of entorhinal neurons signal the location of a rodent relative to visual environmental cues, representing the location of the animal relative to space in the world instead of the body. Recently, we found that entorhinal neurons can signal location of gaze while a monkey explores images visually. Here, we report that spatial entorhinal neurons are widespread in the monkey and these neurons are capable of showing a world-based spatial reference frame locked to the bounds of explored images. These results help connect the extensive findings in rodents to the primate.
Using Applied Science for Effective Watershed Restoration and Coho Salmon Recovery in Coastal Oregon Streams
Authors: Wright Emily C. , Souder Jon A.
Published: January 2018

Coos Bay, located on the southern Oregon Coast, is the largest estuary between the Columbia River and San Francisco Bay. Palouse and Larson Creeks in the northern section of Coos Bay are the two most productive streams for coho salmon. Such productivity occurs despite the pressure salmon habitats have experienced through a long history of anthropogenic alterations, and continue to face from the region’s robust industrial economy, including recreational and commercial fisheries, agricultural production, and forestry. Restoration efforts since the 1980s have helped mitigate environmental impacts, but the turn of the century brought a new era of coordinated research, monitoring, and restoration. Forming a multi-stakeholder partnership with the goal of restoring salmon runs, the local nonprofitnon-profit Coos Watershed Association and its partners worked together to learn about the strategies that coho use to survive in these altered landscapes and apply research findings to restore habitats. Specifically, they examined the most appropriate habitat restoration strategies for various life histories of coho salmon, while working within social and political constraints. As a result, these efforts over the past 35 years have led to a better understanding of salmon populations in Palouse and Larson Creeks and an effective restoration program that continues till today.

Published: January 2018

Este artigo pretende analisar a obra Solidão Continental, do escritor contemporâneo João Gilberto Noll, e caracterizar seu personagem-narrador: João Bastos. Considerando-se que este é revestido de uma roupagem com traços literários filosóficos existencialistas. Isso exige uma busca, na filosofia de Sartre e Nietzsche, de elementos que deem embasamento à hipótese posta. Assim, se procedeu à análise crítica a partir das características mais íntimas, os aspectos psicológicos, para os elementos visíveis, que estão realmente à mostra, como seu agir moral. Identificou-se uma busca, pelo personagem, de algo que o preencha, retirando-o de seu dilema existencial e que o complete, antes que seu tempo finde.********************************************************************The attire (psycho-existential) of the Continental Solitude character, written by João Gilberto NollAbstract: This article aims to analyze the work Continental Solitude, by the contemporary writer João Gilberto Noll, and characterize its character-narrator: João Bastos. Considering that he is coated with a garment with philosophical existentialist literary traits. This requires a search in the philosophy of Sartre and Nietzsche of elements that give foundation to the hypothesis put here. So we proceeded to critical analysis from the most intimate features, the psychological aspects, to the visible elements that are actually on display, as his moral action. We identified a search by the character for something that might fulfill himself, taking him away from his existential dilemma and fulfilling him before time runs out.Keywords: João Gilberto Noll; Contemporary Brazilian literature; Existentialism; Nihilism

İki Boyutlu Sığ Akım Denklemlerinin Sırasız Ağda Sayısal Çözümü için Bilgisayar Yazılımı Geliştirilmesi
Authors: ÖKTEM Nuray
Published: January 2018

Bu çalışmada, iki boyutlu Sığ Akım Denklemleri’nin (SAD) sırasız ağ
üzerinde sayısal çözümü için özgün bir yazılım geliştirilmiştir. Geliştirilen yazılım
bazı ölçüt problemler için koşturularak test edilmiştir. Sayısal yöntem sırasız
üçgensel bir çözüm ağı üzerinde hücre merkezli sonlu hacim yöntemine
dayanmaktadır. Süreklilik ve momentum denklemlerindeki akı hesabı için ikinci
derece doğruluklu Ağırlık Ortalamalı Akı (Weighted Average Flux, WAF) yöntemi
kullanılmıştır. Sığ akım denklemlerinin en belirgin özelliği su yüzeyinde
oluşabilecek şok dalgalarından kaynaklanan süreksizliklerdir. Sayısal yöntemin
şok dalgalarını ayrıntılı bir şekilde tanımlayabilmesi ve hücreler arası akı
hesabında akı sınırlayıcılarını kullanmaya olanak vermesi için WAF yöntemi HLLC
Riemann çözücüleriyle birleştirilmiştir. Ayrıca, ikinci dereceden doğruluklu sayısal
çözüm nedeniyle oluşabilecek sayısal salınımları söndürmek için de Toplam Salınım
Azaltma (Total Variation Diminishing, TVD) teorisinden faydalanılmıştır. Literatürde
sıralı çözüm ağları için mevcut olan ara-yüz akı sınırlayıcı fonksiyonlarının
içerdiği rüzgar yönlü değişimlerin yerel değişimlere oranı, sırasız çözüm
ağları için ilk kez tanımlanmış ve yeni gradyan yaklaşımlarıyla beraber
kullanılabilir hale getirilmiştir. Test sonuçları, sayısal yöntemin ve geliştirilen
yazılımın doğru çalıştığını ve gerçek problemlere uygulanabilirliğini göstermektedir.

Kablosuz veri iletimi sağlayan antenler haberleşme sistemlerinin en önemli parçalarından biridir. Farklı uygulama alanlarında bu alanın ihtiyaçlarına uygun karakteristik özellikleri sebebiyle tercih edilen birçok anten modeli vardır. Sunulan çalışmada Wi-Fi ve Bluetooth teknolojilerini aynı anda destekleyen, düzlem toprak yüzeyine sahip özgün düzlemsel ters F anten (PIF Anten) tasarımı ve elektriksel simülasyonları yapılmıştır. Özgün anten modelinin fiziksel parameterleri 2.47 GHz çalışma frekansı için elde edilmiş ve 3cm x 3cm x 1cm boyutlarına sahip akıllı saat içine konumlandırılmıştır. PIF anten ve akıllı saat için yansıma katsayısının frekansla değişimi incelenmiş ve akıllı saat modelinin antenin performansında önemli bir değişikliğe sebep olmadığı görülmüştür. Daha sonra yetişkin bir insan eli modelinin üzerinde analiz edilen tasarımın üç farklı aşaması için 2D ve 3D yönlendiricilik örüntüleri elde edilerek karşılaştırılmıştır.
The ROSwell Device
Authors: Monfeli Matt
Published: January 2018

Plants grown on orbit seem to be experiencing oxidative stress. The gene expression response of the plants to this oxidative stress bears striking resemblance to their response towards dilute hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Thus, one route towards developing plants better suited to the stresses of spaceflight begins with developing a way to reliably and consistently treat plants with hydrogen peroxide in a laboratory setting. The ROSwell Device embraces this challenge, using 3D-printed components, Arduino and Raspberry Pi microcontroller units, and a solenoid valve mounted on a frame of 80/20 aluminum. The final goal for this device is to construct a reliable method for testing and development of plants designed to grow in space, before sending them into orbit.

Modeling Software Product Line Engineering with Essence Framework

Published: January 2018

Although
several software product line engineering (SPLE) methods have been described in
the literature, adopting these methods in practice is often not
straightforward. Thorough understanding of the methods and their artefacts is
necessary to apply the methods in a proper manner, and likewise realize the
expected goals of SPLE. Recently the Essence framework has been proposed to
model the essential elements of a method and to support the modeling of a broad
set of software development methods including plan-driven methods and agile
methods. So far, the Essence framework has been applied to single system
development methods and not yet for SPLE methods. To enhance the understanding
of SPLE methods and support a vision for tailoring SPLE methods, we provide a
mapping of an SPLE method to the Essence framework. We present experiences
about modeling an SPLE method using the Essence framework within the industrial
context of Havelsan.
Lacrimal system pathology in patients with malignant thyroid tumors after radioactive iodine therapy, and its correction methods

Introduction. Radioactive iodine therapy after thyroidectomy is the standard of differentiated thyroid cancer treatment in the modern world. Main dose-dependent side effects described in the literature include: sialadenitis, xerostomia, taste and/or odor loss, swelling of surrounding tissues. Ophthalmic complications are rarely reported.

Aim. To assess the lacrimal system condition in patients after radioactive iodine therapy for thyroid cancer.

Material and methods. The study included 17 patients (34 eyes). There were female patients aged 19 to 43 years (mean age was 31 years) who underwent a course of radioactive iodine therapy for thyroid cancer. All of them complained of periodic or constant tearing in the period from 2 months to 1 year after therapy course. In four patients, there was a permanent or periodic mucopurulent discharge when pressing on the lacrimal sac area. All patients underwent a standard ophthalmological examination, including visual acuity testing, anterior segment biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy, and tear production tests. Dye disappearance test, Jones I and II tests, lacrimal pathways irrigation, and, if necessary, cone-ray computer tomography with preliminary lacrimal pathways contrasting were performed to evaluate the tear outflow abnormalities.

Results. Tear production disorders were detected in 20 eyes (58.8%) (among them, moderate dry eye syndrome was diagnosed in 3 cases); tear outflow pathology was revealed in 14 eyes (41.2%) (namely naso-lacrimal duct obstruction and stenosis, and chronic purulent dacryocystitis). For patients with tear production pathology artificial tears were prescribed, and endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy was performed in cases of tear outflow disturbances.

Conclusion. The use of radioactive iodine in doses exceeding 80 mCi leads to the development of lacrimal system pathology: dry eye syndrome of various severity, and tear outflow disorders. Lacrimal system pathology significantly worsens the patient's quality of life, and the prophylaxis of these diseases before the radioactive iodine therapy course remains the imminent key problem.

Bruguiera gymnorhiza fruit has potential as raw material for edible film production, because its
availability in nature is quite abundant and has a quite high amylose and amylopectin content (31.56% and
26.17%, respectively). The purpose of this study were to determined the physic and chemical characters
of B. gymnorrhiza fruit starch and to determined the physic characters of edible film added by glycerol as
plasticizer and biopolymers (carrageenan and pectin). The edible film production was conducted by using
commercial starch of B. gymnorrhiza fruit and B. gymnorrhiza fruit starch from North Halmahera. The
first stage of this study was characterized of lindur starch by microscopic and chemical composition. The
second stage is preparation of edible film contained by 4% starch, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6% carrageenan, 0.4%, 0.5%,
0.6% pectin, 1% glycerol, subsequently the edible film was characterized by microscopic and mechanic
properties. The results showed that the thickness value of edible film ranged between 0.11–0.125 mm, the
tensile strength value around 1.469-3.132 Kgf/cm2, percent of elongation around 8.38-19.6%, and water
vapor transmission rate ranged around 0.0145–0.01775 g/s.m2.

method of seaweed affect on viscosity and yield of the alginate. This study aimed to determine the effect of
extraction methods on characteristic and quality of sodium alginate Sargassum fluitans and the extraction
cost needed. This study used two different extraction methods which wereacid alginate method and calcium
alginate method. Quality parameters observed include yield, moisture content, ash content, viscosity,
pH, whiteness index, and functional group analysis, also extraction cost analysis. The results showed that
alginate extraction of S. fluitans by alginic acid method produced better sodium alginate quality than using
calcium alginate method, but the cost higher. Sodium alginate produced by alginic acid method had high
viscosity (127.17±11.50 cps) with yield 9.95±0.31%. The moisture and ash content of the product was low or
9.35±0.31% and 21.88±0.41%, respectively.
