Authors: Umer Mustafa Ismail , Rajab Shayma Mohammad , Ismail Hajeen Khalil
Published: July 2020

Four soil samples different in there CaCO3 forms contents (total, active and active /total CaCO3) were taken from tillage horizon 0-30 cm depth to study the impacts of CaCO3 form on some soil inherent quality indicators in calcareous soils. Result revealed that the total CaCO3 forms have a great influence on particle size distribution to make it coarser in general comparing with the absence of CaCO3 with soil particles. The increase of active /total (A/T CaCO3%) till 50% has a positive effect on increasing soil electrical conductivity E.C ds.m-1, while increment of A/T CaCO3 over 50% till 70% detrimentally reduced soil E.C ds.m-1 hundred fold. The elevation of (A/T CaCO3%) has inverse correlation with soil cation exchange capacity (CEC Cmole.kg soil). the elevation of (A/T CaCO3%) has inverse correlation with soil cation exchange capacity (CEC Cmole.kg soil) the (A/T CaCO3%) ratio over 56% till 69% significantly improves the mean weight diameter and macro aggregate. In general the optimum total CaCO3 for micro aggregate formation may not exceed 20%. The best Total and (A/T CaCO3%) for better aggregate stability is between 20 to 48% . The proper total calcium carbonate for better total heterotrophic aerobic bacterial activity is around 20% . The best growth of the Azotobacter species which is belonging to non-symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria is obtained when total CaCO3 ranges between 10-20% or between 48-56% of (A/T CaCO3%).

Authors: Hameed Dalya H. , Al-Saeedi Abeer Abduljabbar
Published: July 2020

In the field of precast concrete, the utilize of fiber reinforced self-consolidation concrete (SCC) has big potential as it can be supplied directly into the molds without any effort for vibration or compacting. Likewise, depending on the design requirements, it has the potential to supplant conventional steel reinforcement. The using of one type of fiber in producing of SCC has been usual. Fiber reinforced self-consolidation concrete (FSCC) contains two type or more of fiber can improve the mechanical properties and may cause performance synergies. This paper investigates the combination of fibers, often referred to as hybridization, for a cementitious matrix. Control, single, two hybrid fibers were cast using different steel and macro synthetic fibers ratios. Fresh behavior, such as the ability to flow and fill and the tendency to segregate, was evaluated by a special SCC test based on its specifications. Moreover, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, ductility, toughness, and the load - deflection relationship were determined to assess the hardened behavior. The results showed that the compressive strength of hybrid fiber mixes slightly improved. The increment in splitting and flexural strength for hybrid mixes was (60 and 58) % respectively. Also, these hybrid fiber mixes represent a more ductile failure further, the high toughness index, which reaches to 45% of control mix.

Authors: Kammona Hayder Hussein H. , Attiya Muhammad Abed , Shakir Qasim M.
Published: July 2020

This study simulates a procedure of rehabilitation of reinforced concrete beams with the aid of ANSYS 17 software. In this work, the BIRTH and DEATH procedure (in ANSYS) was adopted to model the post-repairing stage. This aspect has rarely been considered by previous studies that utilized a carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheet when retrofitting. To verify the suggested technique, six specimens were analyzed with two values of shear span-to-depth ratios (3 and 4) and three spaces of CFRP sheets (100mm, 150mm and 200mm). The effect of the repairing process on the structural performance of the retrofitted beam is also investigated.It is found that the suggested technique yielded a good agreement with the experimental results and the maximum differences in the failure loads between the numerical and experimental results were 10% and 4% for shear span-to-depth ratios of 3 and 4, respectively. It was also ascertained that upgrading reinforced concrete members within the early stages of loading showed a better enhancement in the loading capacity compared to upgrading reinforced concrete members close to the juncture of failure.

Published: July 2020

To study the influences of the nanomaterial upon the microstructure of the interfacial transition region of mortar that prepared with a composite binder comprising nanomaterial and to clarify its effect on the compressive strength improvement, in this study, the compressive strength, SEM analysis and XRD analysis were estimated for mortar containing different amounts of ZrO2, SiO2, Al2O3 and CaCO3 nanoparticles. Four different contents of each nanoparticles’ types were used as a partial replacement of cement with 1%, 1.5%, 3% and 5% by the weight of cement. Results manifested that the mortar compressive strength enhancement can be ascibed to the microstructure amelioration of the interfacial transition region. In addition, the XRD analysis and the SEM micrographs elucidated the formation of hydration compounds and the enhancement in bonding due to the existence of nanoparticles.

Published: July 2020

Conductive polymer films were prepared from poly (methyl methacrylate) PMMA with (0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 0.9) wt. % of iodine, using electrospinning technique. A decrease was noticed in the polymer solution viscosity with increasing the iodine weight percentage while both surface tension and electrical conductivity of the polymer solutions were increased .The structure and morphology of the prepared films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy SEM, the average fiber diameter measured statistically from the SEM images and was equal to 800 nm for PMMA with 0.7 wt. % iodine thin film, and 400 nm for the pure PMMA thin film. The electrical conductivity was enhanced for the electrospun films with increasing iodine concentration, from (29.5518× 10-9 S/cm) for pure PMMA film to (59.3725× 10-9 S/cm) for PMMA with 0.9 wt. % of iodine additives at room temperature. Activation energy decreased from 0.4483 e.V for pure PMMA to 0.43029 e.V for PMMA with 0.9 wt. % iodine.

Authors: Abdullah Orhan Sabah , Hassan Shaker S. , Al-Khazraji Ahmed N.
Published: July 2020

Generally, thermoplastic polymers due to their viscoelastic behavior tend to appear creep deformation at low temperature compared to metals; this continuous creep deformation caused irregular shapes with time and resultant unstable dimensional parts. Therefore, the investigation of creep behavior in thermoplastic polymers must be considered as an essential requirement in the design process. This work exanimated the creep rupture behavior for Polyamide 6.6 and their composites which content of 1%MWCNTS or 30 short carbon fibers under variant applied stresses and temperatures, as well as, to create analytical model to the obtained results Findley power law model was employed for this purpose with a comprehensive verification to their compatibility to the experimental results. The results appeared that the addition of reinforced materials and decreasing applied stresses and temperatures will cause an enhancement in creep resistance by increasing rupture time and decreasing the minimum creep rate values. On the other hand, using of Findley power law model gives a good agreement to the obtained experimental results.

‘How shall we kill him? By sword, fire or lions?’: The Aramaic Targum and the Midrashic narrative on Haman’s gallows
Authors: Shemesh Abraham O.
Published: July 2020

The Midrashic literature and biblical translations focus majorly on the verses that describe the gathering in Haman’s house and the preparing of the gallows for Mordechai the Jew (Es 5:14). The goal of this study is to discuss the narrative shaped by the Targum and Midrashic sources and to examine both the realistic domain concerning methods of punishment that were suggested and the theological–educational meaning of the punishment and the type of tree chosen. Targum Rishon develops the contents of the conversation in Haman’s house as to how Mordechai should be executed. While according to the text, the suggestion to hang Mordechai appears to have been the only method agreed upon by all those present at the meeting, Targum Rishon includes several forms of killing and torture that were proposed and considered. While Targum Rishon presents the theological meaning of the choice to kill Mordechai specifically by hanging him from a gallows, a Midrash aggadah attempts to clarify the species of the tree used to prepare Mordechai’s gallows and comes to the surprising conclusion that it was a type of thorn tree. Regarding Haman’s search for a suitable beam on which to hang Mordechai, Midrash Abba Gorion relates that the beam was found in the king’s palace or, according to another opinion, the sawed beam found originated from Noah’s ark.Contribution: The Midrashic sources portray an entire scene that includes discourse, deliberations and choice in Haman’s house and in heaven. It seems that the authors of the Midrash and the Targum not only clarify the text and complement the story by adding missing realistic details, they also enrich the text with new meanings that serve their theological concepts.
The effect of supply chain management in governance: Public sector perspectives
Authors: Nkwanyana Nontuthuko S. , Agbenyegah Albert T.
Published: July 2020

Background: Supply chain management (SCM) was introduced as a remedy to irregularities of the past procurement models in public sector. Since its inception, literature has exposed a number of irregularities and deficiencies in the acquisition management processes within SCM in this sector.Objectives: This article explores a case study of KwaZulu-Natal to ascertain the current status of SCM in the aspect of acquisition of goods and services in relation to issues of good governance and human resource capital. It aims to determine the underlying factors that have given rise to the reported irregularities and deficiencies.Method: This article draws on quantitative data collected using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire, from ‘1’ strongly disagree to ‘5’ strongly agree. The study sample consisted of 129 participants. The data collected were analysed using the Statistical Package of Social Sciences tool.Results: The findings of the study indicate that there is (1) a notable human resource deficiency, (2) inadequate knowledge regarding the processes employed in the acquisition of goods and services within SCM and (3) a lack of adequate training. The study also notes best practices such as (1) a high level of accountability, (2) conformity of relevant laws, (3) transparency, (4) responsiveness and (5) participation.Conclusion: This study rejects the current assumptions that the acquisition process of the SCM system is flawed, and rather confirms the forever growing assumptions related to human resources capacity, knowledge and skills deficiencies as possible root causes of the reported irregularities and deficiencies.
The influence of psychological capital and self-leadership strategies on job embeddedness in the banking industry
Authors: Harunavamwe Martha , Pillay Daphne , Nel Petrus
Published: July 2020

Orientation: The success of organisations depends on their ability to appoint, develop, sustain and retain skilled employees. Retaining a strongly committed workforce has become a top priority for most organisations in the financial service sector. Nurturing positive organisational behaviours and emotions helps retain employees, and this is key to lowering the risk of losing precious talent.Research purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine if self-leadership and psychological capital positively influence job embeddedness.Motivation for the study: The study was motivated by the sentiments from a study conducted by Nafei (2015) that indicated that traditional methods of reducing turnover have become ineffective. The focus on positive retention was however described as promising.Research approach/design and method: A cross-sectional quantitative survey was employed using self-administered questionnaires. The sample comprised 303 banking sector employees. Data were analysed using SmartPLS.Main findings: Self-leadership strategies (constructive thought patterns, behavioural strategies and natural rewards) through psychological resources (hope, optimism and self-efficacy) positively influenced job embeddedness.Practical/managerial implications: The banking industry that seeks to retain employees may invest in increasing levels of job embeddedness, which can be achieved through enhancing psychological resources and utilising self-leadership strategies.Contribution/value add: The findings provide preliminary insights that contribute to the body of knowledge concerned with positive organisational behaviour and retention in the fields of industrial and organisational psychology in the South African context.

Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo.Foi aplicado um questionário em 28 acadêmicas de uma instituição de ensino superior. Na análise foram geradas medidas descritivas. Os resultados mostraram que 46,4% tiveram parto normal (PN), 42,9%, parto cesárea (PC) e 10,7% tiveram os dois. Das que realizaram PN, 68,8% passaram por indução, 93,8%, por episiotomia e 75,0% amamentaram na primeira hora de vida da criança. Dentre as que fizeram PC, houve uma taxa menor de amamentação (46,7%) nesse período. Sugere-se que levantar questões relacionadas à experiência de parto pode permitir a elaboração de estratégias efetivas de empoderamento para gestantes na tomada de decisão sobre seu parto.
Singularidade: metáfora e a possibilidade do conhecimento sensível
Authors: Litaiff Aldo
Published: July 2020

Este artigo se inicia com uma breve história, que remete à cena inaugural da cultura ocidental. Essa epopeia começa com o projeto de Platão de manter a unidade da polis helênica submetendo o indivíduo ao coletivo. Diferente de outras culturas da época, os antigos Gregos buscavam as causas dos fenômenos físicos não nas divindades, mas nos próprios eventos da natureza. Entretanto, as “ilusões dos sentidos” enfraqueceriam nossa confiança na cognição baseada na experiência individual. Esta concepção está na base da epistemologia proposta séculos depois por Kant. Segundo ele, somente o pensamento independente de toda experiência sensível, isto é, a razão pura, poderia nos familiarizar com a “realidade externa”, resgatando a necessária confiança no processo cognitivo. Segundo Maffesoli, o fim da modernidade aponta sinais que mostram o advento de um racionalismo abstrato, que não mais se baseia na representação, mas na razão sensível. Fica então a questão: é possível o conhecimento sensível.
Factors in the Probability of COVID-19 Transmission in University Classrooms
Authors: Connor Charles
Published: July 2020

University students and faculty members need an effective strategy to evaluate and reduce the probability that an individual will become infected with COVID-19 as a result of classroom interactions. Models are developed here that consider the probability an individual will become infected as a function of: prevalence of the disease in the university community, number of students in class, number of class meetings, and transmission rate in the classroom given the presence of an infected individual. Absolute probabilities that an individual will become infected in a classroom environment cannot be calculated because some of these factors have unknown values. Nevertheless, models suggest that some strategies for minimizing probability of infection are more effective than others. Given that COVID-19 might be present among faculty and students in the university community, limiting class meetings and class size are not likely effective strategies unless these numbers are dramatically reduced. That is, it is likely that infected individuals will be present in classrooms at some point during the term due to the large number of interactions among university faculty and students. The probability of infection of an individual in a classroom setting appears to be most sensitive to the effectiveness of transmission in the classroom, given the presence of an infected individual, especially if the likelihood of transmission itself is a function of class size. If on-campus instruction takes place, efforts should focus on reducing the probability of transmission through physical modifications and upgrades to classrooms and by social distancing measures.

Introduction

To assess both the safety and efficacy of different doses of remimazolam tosilate (HR7056) in maintaining suitable sedation during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and the reversibility of HR7056’s sedative effects with flumazenil.

Material and methods

A total of 156 patients were enrolled and randomly received propofol (group A), 1 of 3 induction doses of HR7056 (8.0 mg (group B), 7.0 mg (group C), 5.0 mg (group D)), or 5.0 mg of HR7056 plus flumazenil (group E). The primary efficacy endpoint was the successful sedation rate. Adverse events (AEs) were recorded to evaluate safety.

Results

Baseline characteristics of patients were well balanced between five treatment groups. For the dose-exploration part, there were no significant difference in successful sedation rate, rates of hypotension and respiratory depression between the four treatment groups. The sedative recovery time in group A was significantly higher than that in group B. The rate of hypoxemia and pain on injection in group A were both significantly higher than those in groups B, C and D. For the flumazenil reversal part, there was no significant difference in the sedative recovery time between group D and group E. The rates of AEs in groups A, B, C, D, E were 40.00%, 29.03%, 16.13%, 6.45%, 6.67%, respectively. There were no serious AEs.

Conclusions

HR7056 was comparable to propofol in safety and efficacy in maintaining sedation during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. HR7056 5.0/2.5 mg-dose (initial dose 5.0 mg, combined with supplemental doses of 2.5 mg) was capable of inducing rapid sedation without the need for flumazenil reversal.
Redefining terminology for medical eponyms
Authors: Yale Steven Howard , Tekiner Halil , Yale Eileen Scott
Published: July 2020

There are those who support and others who refute the use of medical eponyms. Clarified are the use of the terms eponyms and medical eponyms. We proposed the redesign of a more specific definition for a medical eponym. Therefore, a medical eponym in clinical medicine is defined as a honorific term bestowed to an individual who identified or discovered, a disease, sign, symptom, syndrome, test, finding, anatomical part, or designed a device, procedure, view, treatment, classification, prediction rule, principle, or algorithm. Thus medical eponyms include those aspects which involve patient care or applications of care. Further discussed and clarified are misconceptions regarding the use of medical eponyms, distinguishing features of other types of “onyms”, and supporting and opposing views regarding their retention and disbarment. Recognized is the importance that medical eponyms be carefully studied using an evidence-based approach before they are abandoned.
Polymyalgia rheumatica with normal inflammatory indices at the time of diagnosis: can we just move a step forward?

Published: July 2020

The existence of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) with normal inflammatory indices at the time of diagnosis still represents a diagnostic conundrum. According to the literature, some patients with PMR following immune checkpoint inhibitory therapy had normal values of both erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein concentrations at the time of diagnosis. In this short communication we investigated the possibility that in some patients with PMR the main pathogenic mechanism is constituted by inhibition of some checkpoints, such as programmed death receptor-1, programmed death ligand 1, and “cytotoxic” lymphocyte antigen 4. In these patients, the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying PMR can act much more upstream than commonly suggested. Also, we addressed the question of whether these patients should be considered as affected by PMR-like syndromes or by PMR subset.
Horizontal electric fields from flow of auroral O+(2P) ions at sub-second temporal resolution

Abstract. Electric fields are a ubiquitous feature of the ionosphere and are intimately linked with aurora through particle precipitation and field-aligned currents. They exhibit order-of-magnitude changes on temporal and spatial scales of seconds and kilometres respectively which are not easy to measure; knowing their true magnitude and temporal variability is important for a theoretical understanding of auroral processes. We present a unique method to estimate ionospheric electric fields in the region close to (kilometre scale) a dynamic auroral arc by solving the continuity equation for the metastable O+(2P) ions, which emit as they move under the influence of electric fields during their 5 s lifetime. The main advantage of this optical method is the increase in temporal resolution over other methods such as ground-based radars.
Simultaneous measurements of emission at 732.0 nm (from the O+(2P) ions) and prompt emissions at 673.0 nm (N2) and 777.4 nm (O), all at high spatial (100 m) and temporal (0.05 s) resolution,
are used in the solution of the continuity equation, which gives the dynamic changes of the O+ ion population at all heights in a 3D volume close to the magnetic zenith. Perspective effects are taken into account by a new geometric method, which is based on an accurate estimate of the magnetic zenith position.
The emissions resulting from the metastable ions are converted to brightness images by projecting them onto the plane of the ground, and the projected images are then compared with the measured images. The flow velocity of the ions is a free parameter in the solution of the continuity equation; the value that minimises the difference between the modelled and observed images is the extracted flow velocity at each time step.
We demonstrate the method with an example event during the passage of a brightening arc feature, lasting about 10 s, in which the inferred electric fields vary between 20 and 120 mV m−1.
These inferred electric fields are compared with SuperDARN measurements, which have an average value of 30 mV m−1.
An excellent agreement is found in the magnitude and direction of the background electric field; an increase in magnitude during the brightening of the arc feature supports theories of small-scale auroral arc formation and electrodynamics.
Evaluation of three new surface irrigation parameterizations in the WRF-ARW v3.8.1 model: the Po Valley (Italy) case study

Published: July 2020

Abstract. Irrigation is a method of land management that can affect the local climate. Recent literature
shows that it affects mostly the near-surface variables and it is associated with an irrigation
cooling effect. However, there is no common parameterization that also accounts for a realistic
water amount, and this factor could ascribe one cause to the different impacts found in previous
studies. This work aims to introduce three new surface irrigation parameterizations within the
WRF-ARW model (v3.8.1) that consider different evaporative processes. The parameterizations are
tested on one of the regions where global studies disagree on the signal of irrigation: the
Mediterranean area and in particular the Po Valley. Three sets of experiments are performed using
the same irrigation water amount of 5.7 mm d−1, derived from Eurostat data. Two complementary
validations are performed for July 2015: monthly mean, minimum, and maximum temperature with ground
stations and potential evapotranspiration with the MODIS product. All tests show that for both
mean and maximum temperature, as well as potential evapotranspiration simulated fields
approximate observation-based values better when using the irrigation parameterizations. This
study addresses the sensitivity of the results to human-decision
assumptions of the parameterizations: start time, length, and frequency. The main impact of irrigation on surface variables
such as soil moisture is due to the parameterization choice itself affecting evaporation, rather
than the timing. Moreover, on average, the atmosphere and soil variables are not very sensitive to
the parameterization assumptions for realistic timing and length.

Abstract. Seismicity and magnitude distributions are fundamental for any type of seismic hazard analysis. The Mexican subduction zone along the Pacific Coast is one of the most active seismic zones in the world. Some peculiar characteristics of the seismicity have been observed for a subregion of the subduction regime, which has been named SUB3 in a recent seismotectonic regionalization of the country, suggesting that the observed simplicity of this source arises from the rupturing of single asperities. In this work, we numerically test this hypothesis using the TREMOL (sThochastic Rupture Earthquake MOdeL) v0.1.0 code. As test cases, we choose four of the most significant events (6.5
