Accidentes laborales durante la práctica clínica en estudiantes de la carrera de enfermería
Authors: Eras Carranza Janette Esther , Avila Fernández Katiuska Susana Susana , Cedillo Pacheco Yaritza Lisbeth
Published: July 2018

Introducción: La formación de Enfermería, requiere tres elementos: conocimiento, actitud, destreza, en este sentido, la exposición al riesgo de los profesionales es desde el inicio con las prácticas académica; los accidentes están relacionados con manejo de fluidos, pinchazos; y se debe tomar en consideración la bioseguridad para disminuir el riesgo por falta de experiencia, para la prevención de la enfermedad desde internado.Objetivo: Analizar los accidentes laborales presentados durante la práctica clínica en estudiantes de Enfermería de la Universidad Técnica de Machala Métodos: Se basó en una investigación cuantitativa, observacional, analítica, transversal, el periodo fue de octubre a diciembre de 2017, en 166 estudiantes. El método fue la encuesta, con consentimiento informado.Resultados: No existe asociación entre conocimientos de bioseguridad, con accidente laboral (Χ²=0,2287, p=0,63250021), la causa: poca adherencia al usar prendas de protección, prisa para ejecutar tareas; el accidente biológico relacionado con el semestre que cursaba (Χ²=171,1015, p=0), se presentaron en estudiantes de octavo semestre, Moreno Arroyo et al, menciona que los estudiantes sin formación práctica previa tenían menor percepción de daño biológico con respecto a los estudiantes con práctica previa, ocurrido en el 47% de ellos, especialmente los que iniciaron su internado. Conclusión: A pesar que existe conocimiento en internos de Enfermería, se presentaron accidentes laborales durante las prácticas clínicas y, la aplicación de la teoría a la práctica, depende de la experiencia previa del estudiante y la prioridad que dé al autocuidado.
El conocimiento de la Farmacología en el profesional de enfermería
Authors: Romero Viamonte Katherine
Published: July 2018

Para lograr una atención médica de calidad, resulta insuficiente realizar el diagnóstico y elegir la terapéutica adecuada. Es cierto que son los primeros aspectos a tomar en cuenta para la cura, alivio y profilaxis de una enfermedad, pero si luego, no se administra el medicamento de la manera adecuada, todo el camino recorrido se vería afectado. El profesional de enfermería juega un importante papel, si toma en consideración aspectos farmacológicos que se encuentran estrechamente vinculados. El presente artículo tuvo como objetivo realizar una puesta al día de los aspectos más relevantes a tener en cuenta por parte de los enfermeros para garantizar la calidad de vida del paciente. La seguridad del medicamento no puede ser un proyecto a largo plazo, ha de ser un desafío constante de cada uno de los profesionales que toca con sus manos el medicamento con el objetivo de mejorar la salud de los pacientes.
UN World Water Development Report 2018: "Nature-based solutions for water"
Authors: Meyer Chloé
Published: July 2018

Nature-based solutions (NBS) use or mimic natural processes to enhance water availability (e.g., soil moisture retention, groundwater recharge), improve water quality (e.g., natural and constructed wetlands, riparian buffer strips), and reduce risks associated with water-related disasters and climate change (e.g., floodplain restoration, green roofs).

The WWDR 2018 demonstrates how nature-based solutions offer a vital means of moving beyond business-as-usual to address many of the world’s water challenges while simultaneously delivering additional benefits vital to all aspects of sustainable development.

Groundwater natural background quality in transboundary aquifers
Authors: Carvalho-Resende Tales
Published: July 2018

The Groundwater Natural Background Quality indicators stands for the percentage of the transboundary aquifer (TBA) area where groundwater natural quality satisfies local drinking water standards.

In north-eastern Africa, parts of the Middle East and Northern India and Pakistan, low recharge values in TBAs are combined with high population densities. In these areas, return flows from irrigation and other human induced recharge appear to play a major role in the sustainability of groundwater resource utilization. Very low natural quality (less than 20 per cent of the aquifer area) coincides with TBAs highly impacted by irrigation return flows in densely populated areas with low to medium natural recharge, like the Nubian, Indus, Pre Caspian TBAs.

The Political Worlds of Boxen and Narnia
Authors: Hunt Sylvia
Published: July 2018

C. S. Lewis is not generally considered a political writer. However, the Boxen tales, written when Lewis was between the ages of six and fourteen, depict an adult world of political intrigue and stultifying small talk. This paper offers a reading of Boxen, alongside George Orwell’s political writing and Lewis’s own mature work, to argue that political commentary underpins much of Lewis’s writing—a commentary that begins in the Boxen stories but does not end there. If the Boxen stories depict political scheming and negligent leadership, the Narnia Chronicles describe a paracosm founded on the Greek polis, or the ideal state. The two worlds complement one another, and both are important to a full appreciation of Lewis’s political thought.
Sistema Proporcional: Críticas À Legitimidade Dos Representantes Eleitos Pelo Povo
Authors: Neves Sinvaldo Conceição
Published: July 2018

O sistema proporcional de lista aberta, adotado nas eleições legislativas brasileiras, permite a participação de todas as correntes ideológico-partidárias no processo político. Entretanto, devido ao mecanismo de distribuição das vagas entre os partidos políticos, o qual utiliza a aplicação de fórmulas aritméticas em que o desempenho é auferido levando-se em conta, além dos votos conquistados pessoalmente e dos atribuídos aos correligionários concorrentes ao mesmo cargo, permite-se que candidatos com pouco respaldo popular ocupem um cargo no Poder Legislativo. Esse fato pode comprometer a representatividade no processo democrático e a legitimidade dos atos por eles praticados.

Published: July 2018

En este documento se abordan los temas de comunicación, como el fundamento para iniciar un proceso de extensión, para lograr como fin último la adopción y gestión de la innovación. Estos conceptos se abordan desde una perspectiva institucional la cual denota el tránsito de una visión vertical a una visión más participativa donde los actores involucrados en llevar el desarrollo al medio rural, toman en cuenta las condiciones de los receptores finales. Los tres conceptos están estrechamente vinculados de tal suerte que no se puede concebir que uno este desligado del otro y el resultado final debe ser la innovación tanto de componentes como de procesos.

Bazı İman Konuları Bağlamında İbnü’l-Müneyyir’in Zemahşerî’ye Yönelik Eleştirileri
Authors: BAYRAM İbrahim
Published: July 2018

Yazmış olduğu tefsirle (el-Keşşâf) İslam dünyasında

bir çığır açmış olan Zemahşerî (ö. 538/1144), Kur’an’ın edebi vechesini

yansıtma hususunda pek çok kişinin takdirini kazanmakla birlikte, taşıdığı

iʽtizalî fikirleri ayetlerin yorumuna katmak itibariyle de birtakım

eleştirilere maruz kalmıştır. Onu en güçlü ve sistemli şekilde tenkit eden

simaların başında ise İbnü’l-Müneyyir (ö. 683/1284) gelmiştir. İbnü’l-Müneyyir,

büyük bir şöhrete sahip olan Zemahşerî tefsirinin, ona göre içinde yer alan

zararlı iʽtizalî fikirlere karşı insanları ikaz etmek amacıyla bir eser

(el-İntisâf) kaleme almıştır. İbnü’l-Müneyyir bu eserinde onu diğer bir kısım itikadi

meselelerin dışında imanla ilgili bazı konular üzerinden de eleştirmiştir. Bu

manada imanın tanımı, amelle ilişkisi ve büyük günah sahibi kişinin konumu gibi

meselelerle alakalı olarak ona tenkitler yöneltmiştir. İmanın tasdikten ibaret

olduğunu, amelin imandan bir cüz olmadığını ve ister tövbe etsin ister etmesin

büyük günah sahibi müminin ya doğrudan ya da sonuç itibariyle cennete

gideceğini savunan İbnü’l-Müneyyir, tasdik ve ikrar dışında ameli de imanın bir

unsuru gören ve tövbe etmeden ölen günahkar kişinin mümin olmayıp ahirette

ebedi azaba müstahak olacağını ileri süren Zemahşerî’yi eleştirmiştir.

Muʽtezilî fikirlere sahip olan Zemahşerî’yi, Eşʽarî bir anlayış üzerinden

tenkit eden İbnü’l-Müneyyir, kendi görüşlerini ispat etmekten ziyade, onun düşüncelerinin

yanlışlığına ve kullandığı delillerin geçersizliğine dikkat çekmiştir.

Zemahşerî’nin ayetlerin zahiri itibariyle taşıdığı anlamların kendi görüşünü

teyit ettiğini düşündüğü yerlerde yaptığı yorumların onu gayesine

ulaştırmayacağını savunan İbnü’l-Müneyyir, aksi türdeki ayetlere dair yaptığı

tefsirlerde ise onu gereksiz yere ilahi kelamı tevil etmek ve kendi itikadi

görüşüne halel gelmemesi adına başka yerlerde uyguladığı kuralları

uygulamamakla tenkit etmiştir. Kimi zaman mensubu bulunduğu Ehl-i Sünnet

düşüncesinin iman konusuyla ilgili savunduğu görüşlere dair kanıtlar da

zikreden müellif, ayrıca Muʽtezilî yaklaşımın yanlışlığını ispat sadedinde, iki

mezhebin bazı hususlardaki ortak kabullerinden hareketle kendi görüşünü teyit

edecek sonuçlara ulaşmaya çalışmıştır.

Authors: DEMİR Rıdvan , OKŞAR Yusuf
Published: July 2018

Yaşadığı yerden, herhangi bir şekilde ayrılan veya

ayrılmak zorunda kalan bireylerin başka yerleşim alanlarına yaşamlarını sürdürmek

üzere gitmesi durumu olarak ifade edilen “göç” olgusu insanlık tarihi kadar

eskidir. İnsanlar, tarihi süreç içerisinde savaşlar, dini, ekonomik veya diğer

sosyal olaylar dolayısıyla göç etmek durumunda kalmışlardır. Geçmişte olduğu

gibi günümüzde de varlığını sürdüren son zamanlarda ise dünya genelinde artış

gösteren göç olgusu insanoğlunun karşı karşıya kaldığı en önemli sorunlardan

birisidir. Suriye’de patlak veren ve zamanla daha da şiddetli hale gelen iç

savaş nedeniyle ülkelerinden ayrılmak durumunda kalıp Türkiye’ye göç eden

Suriyeli sığınmacı sayısı göç idaresinin 2017 yılı verilerine göre üç milyonun

üzerindedir. Türkiye’ye sığınan Suriyeli mültecilere devlet tarafından barınma,

beslenme, sağlık ve eğitim gibi birçok alanda hizmet verilmektedir. 2016–2017

eğitim/öğretim yılından itibaren Türk Milli Eğitim sistemine dâhil olmaya

başlayan Suriyeli öğrenciler anasınıfından başlanarak 1. 5. ve 9. sınıflarda

öğrenim görmektedirler. Türk öğrencilere göre dil başta olmak üzere eğitim,

kültür, gelenek-görenek gibi hususlarda farklı nitelikler taşıyan bu öğrenciler

Türkiye’deki eğitim kurumlarında bir takım uyum sorunları ile

karşılaşmışlardır. Bu çalışmada Suriyeli öğrencilerin öğrenim gördüğü devlet

okullarında ve Geçici Eğitim Merkezlerinde (GEM) görev yapan din

eğitimcilerinin Suriyeli öğrencilerin eğitiminde karşılaştığı problemlerin

tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla Suriyeli öğrencilerin öğrenim gördüğü

Kilis merkezdeki okullarda ve GEM’lerde görevli din eğitimi ile ilgili derslere

giren 20 öğretmenle görüşme yapılmıştır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntem ve

teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan öğretmenlerin belirlenmesinde

amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden birisi olan ölçüt örnekleme yöntemi

kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen veriler içerik analizi tekniği ile

çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre Suriyeli öğrencilerin öğrenim

gördüğü kurumlarda çalışan yerel din eğitimcilerinin Arapça dil yeterlilikleri

açısından problem yaşadıkları tespit edilirken, GEM’lerde çalışan Suriyeli

eğitimcilerin öncelikli problemlerinin ders kitapları/öğretim materyalleri

eksikliği olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Published: July 2018

Launched in 2014, vTaiwan is an open consultation process that brings Taiwan citizens and government together in online and offline spaces, to deliberate and reach rough consensus on national issues, and to craft national digital legislation. This paper documents vTaiwan's background, open consultation process framework, and the collaborative open source engagement tools used in vTaiwan. The UberX case study highlights vTaiwan's open format and crowdsourcing characteristics as well as vTaiwan's culture-a recursive public that shapes an interactive environment that is capable of speaking to existing forms of power through an evolving rough consensus. Aiming to go beyond its limitations and challenges, vTaiwan iterates on creating a feasible model of decentralized consultation for society.
Don’t Look Me in the Eyes: Automatic Orientation to the Eyes of In- and Outgroup Members
Authors: Fischer Moritz
Published: July 2018

When we look at someone’s face, we automatically attend to the eye region. This phenomenon is, however, not entirely controllable. To investigate whether the controllability of this phenomenon differs between in- and outgroup eyes, an eye-tracking study with 52 Caucasian participants viewing Caucasian and Oriental stimulus faces was conducted. Participants were instructed to either look at the stimulus faces freely, or to avoid looking to either eyes or mouth. When looking freely, participants attended equally long to the eyes of both ethnicities. When instructed to avoid eyes or mouth, participants were able to suppress their gaze to both features entirely independent from the ethnicity of the displayed faces. Together, no different gaze patterns towards Oriental and Caucasian faces were found. The results imply that differential behaviour towards Oriental and Caucasian people can not be explained by differences in early stages of visual attention.
Job satisfaction and social rewards in the social services
Authors: Jessen Jorunn Theresia
Published: July 2018

This article investigates the sources of job satisfaction among practitioners and managers employed in the Norwegian public social services and the professionals´ perception of social rewards in particular. Being valued, receiving praise and positive feedback are considered to be important aspects of job satisfaction. Nevertheless the expertise and competence of social workers is not always acknowledged. A central question raised is whether the workers´ job satisfaction is influenced by their opportunities for support and recognition, compared to other (intrinsic and organisational) rewarding aspects available to social service workers. The empirical data come from a 2004 quantitative survey among social workers in local welfare agencies. Despite conflicting demands and lack of resources in the front line services, findings indicate that managers and practitioners perceive their work as overall equally satisfying. Still, the managers find their job more interesting and challenging due to their position, reporting higher feelings of accomplishment and control over work. Receiving public approval and co-worker support are positively associated with job satisfaction within both work positions, while superior support and client recognition were found to be significantly rewarding aspects to the practitioners only. The final discussion addresses the challenges for an organizational climate that sustain the worth and contribution of social professionals

Authors: Ivanović Miroljub , Ivanović Uglješa
Published: July 2018

Lately, there has been increase of interest in examining the motives of male and female adolescents for taking part in physical activities, as well as examining their depression, anxiety and stress. The objective of this paper was to investigate intergender differences between male and female adolescents concerning the motives for physical exercise, depression, anxiety and stress. The pertinent sample accounted for 332 high-school students of both sexes from Valjevo (164 females and 168 male high school seniors), aged 18.10 ± 0.86. Three measuring instruments were used: Questionnaire for collecting basic data, The Exercise Motivation Inventory 2 („EMI–2“) questionnaire and the Depression anxiety stress scale (DASS – 21). The internal consistency and reliability of the questionnaire and the scale was satisfactory. The given results revealed that there are statistically significant gender differences, as the male adolescents, compared to the female adolescents, more frequently took part in physical activities (p ≤ 0.01). The important difference between the motives for participating in physical activities between the male and female participants was defined, so the motives: Socializing, Competition, Enjoyment, Social recognition and Strength and Persistence were more dominant with male adolescents, whereas motives: Appearance, Agility, Maintaining and improving health, and Body mass control were manifested more with female high school seniors. The findings revealed, with the probability of error being 0.05 the statistically significant differences of the depression dimension between the adolescents who rarely or never take part in physical activities and those who take part in physical activities three or more times a week. The results suggest that there are significant differences between male and female participants when it comes to stress variable (t = -2.47, p ≤ 0.01) and anxiety variable (t = -2.17, p ≤ 0.05). Differences on the depression variable are not significant. The findings were discussed within the context of current empirical and theoretical frame. 
Investigation of the terms and regulations, under which the competitions of Gymnastics were held from 1920 to 1930
Authors: Stefanidis Panagiotis
Published: July 2018

The lack of common rules and credible judgement created particular problems gymnastics competitions, organized by the two international sports institutions (IOC, EG), until the beginning of the World War I. After the end of the war, these institutions began to cooperate, to widen and to put under their aegis all the existing Gymnastics Federations. In the decades of 1920 and 1930 totally five International Gymnastics competitions were organized by the IGF and five Olympic Games by the IOC. Despite the considerable efforts of the two institutions for commonly accepted regulations, reliable judgment and uniform apparatuses, no solution was found. So, there were a lot of problems, since several federations were introspective and followed their own regulations and principles. This fact affected negatively the general development of gymnastics.

The purpose of this study is to research and show off the structures and characteristics of the regulations of gymnastics in the decades of 1920 and 1930 as well as the reasons that caused the lack of common rules and their effects in the development of gymnastics.

Universal-Filtered Multi-Carrier
Authors: Ghaith Alaa A.
Published: July 2018

The emerging Internet of Things will make the next generation 5G systems to support a broad range of diverse needs with greater efficiency requirements. The new class of services will need a higher data rates, to handle these demands, the lowest layer of the 5G systems must be flexible. Therefore, the waveform will have an important role in offering these new requirements. These waveforms should enable efficient multiple access to handle the requirements of the future wireless communication system. This means that the corresponding required waveforms should be able to handle as much different type of traffic as possible in the same band. In this paper we compare three candidate multicarrier waveforms for the air interface of 5G: the original cyclic prefix OFDM applied in the 4G systems today, the Filter Bank Multicarrier (FBMC) heavily discussed in previous papers, and Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier (UFMC) a new contender making its appearance recently. These new waveforms will be more robust against the time frequency synchronization problem, it has the potential for mixing different traffic specifications, and supports the scenarios of spectrum fragmentation, due to the improvement in the localization of spectrum. In the same time, they support all multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) scenarios and applications. The simulation results shown that there is a good difference in the time frequency efficiency for transmitting very small bursts where the response time is required (like car-to-car communications). Due to the cyclic prefix the FBMC and CP-OFDM suffer when transmitting short bursts, the UFMC outperforms CP-OFDM by 10% for any case and FBMC for the very short packets and it is similar to FBMC for long sequences. Other simulation results are shown, which demonstrate the potential of this waveform.

A educação brasileira lida com diversos problemas, entre eles está a escassez de professores, especialmente, na área das Ciências Exatas, como por exemplo, a Química. Nesse sentido, práticas que visem tornar as licenciaturas uma opção para ingresso no mundo do trabalho são necessárias, no intuito de evitar a defasagem de docentes. Desse modo, este estudo foi estruturado numa metodologia dialogada, dentro de uma perspectiva contextualizada e experimental, propondo uma aprendizagem nessa disciplina de forma mais dinâmica e atrativa. Essa intervenção foi realizada por um grupo extensionista composto por licenciandos em Química participantes do Programa Internacional Despertando Vocações para as Licenciaturas - PDVL, do Instituto Federal da Paraíba - IFPB, campus João Pessoa. Tal grupo trabalhou concomitantemente com duas turmas de 1º ano (A e B) e uma turma do 2º ano, do ensino regular, do nível médio de ensino de uma Escola Estadual localizada neste município. O planejamento didático foi previamente esquematizado pelos componentes do grupo juntamente ao professor regente da turma, partindo de uma ação contextualizada que relacionou o conteúdo Tabela Periódica (para as turmas do primeiro ano) e Termoquímica (para a turma do segundo ano) à vivência dos estudantes, fazendo uso de práticas experimentais. Dessa forma, este trabalho objetivou incentivar/melhorar o processo de ensino e aprendizagem dos estudantes nessa Ciência, levando em conta os conhecimentos preexistentes desses, bem como estimulá-los à docência, tendo em vista que a maioria deles não opta por cursar Licenciatura em Química, área que apresenta um déficit de docentes. Para tanto, utilizou-se experimentos envolvendo os estudantes nas atividades, realizando reflexões sobre o mundo ao seu redor, estimulando assim à interação entre discentes e docente-discentes o, que consequentemente, promoveu a compreensão do conteúdo abordado. Com isso, pôde-se observar que a utilização de uma proposta didática diferenciada estimulou os estudantes a participarem ativamente das aulas, questionando e debatendo fatos do cotidiano.

La formación de docentes en Ciencias es uno de los desafíos más importantes que presentan en la actualidad las Instituciones Educativas para alcanzar prácticas profesionales acordes a las necesidades de las sociedades que transitan cambios vertiginosos y constantes.  Qué aprender y qué tipo de experiencias formativas se requieren para la construcción de un saber profesional capaz de dar respuesta a estos desafíos, es uno de las problemáticas que nos interpelan. Bajo estas consideraciones se han diseñado experiencias curriculares y extracurriculares para que los estudiantes de los Profesorados Universitarios de Biología, de Física, de Química y de Matemática de la Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata de la República Argentina, transiten escenarios múltiples de apropiación del conocimiento práctico profesional en diversidad de contextos. Pretenden promover una permanente articulación entre teoría y práctica entendida como reflexión sistemática, crítica y situada. El presente trabajo relata los puntos de partida, los propósitos planteados y distintas experiencias implementadas que fueron pensadas para enriquecer la formación de la práctica profesional docente de los estudiantes de los profesorados mencionados.
O PROJETO SciPol: LUX E O ENSINO / APRENDIZAGEM DA CIÊNCIA NAS ESCOLAS PRÉ-ESCOLARES E PRIMÁRIAS NO LUXEMBURGO: O CASO DOS ESTUDANTES CULTURAL E LINGUISTICAMENTE DIVERSOS
Authors: Fernández Roberto Gómez , Siry Christina
Published: July 2018

Este artigo apresenta três casos diferentes de ensino e aprendizagem de ciência em um país multilíngue / cultural (crianças de 5 a 9 anos). Os três casos correspondem a três áreas do currículo de ciência: nossa comunidade, proteção ambiental e geologia. Em todos os três casos, realizamos descobertas diferentes, mas inter-relacionadas, com especial atenção aos alunos culturalmente e linguisticamente diversificados (CLD), aqueles que são mais vulneráveis ​​quanto à aprendizagem das ciência na escola. O primeiro caso mostrou como as práticas de transplantação de alunos CLD os ajudaram no sentido de fazer uma aula de ciência ministrada em português. O segundo caso destaca a mudança súbita e positiva na participação quando um aluno CLD se dedica a tarefas científicas práticas e o terceiro caso explora o desenvolvimento da participação de outros alunos CLD durante atividades científicas orientadas a inquéritos e examina o uso de cadernos de ciência como espaços seguros. Tomando esses três casos juntos, este artigo conclui que mais "espaços seguros", referentes à inclusão de línguas e culturas dos alunos e atividades científicas conduzidas por inquéritos, têm inúmeros resultados positivos para estudantes CLD na sala de aula de ciência primárias.

The book is an important tool in assisting both the teacher and the student in the construction of the teaching learning process and also does not influence how the concepts of content. Thus, the CTSA approach must interact and develop critical social learning on the topics addressed and allow the student to have an effective participation in society. In this context, the present work investigated how the evaluations of the books approved by the PNLD 2015 were being developed and how the evaluation of the approach in the CTSA contributes in a reflexive critical formation on subjects approached in the daily life. The qualitative research has the focus on describing and analyzing the evaluation activities in the CTSA teaching. It was found that the domains of evaluation are present in most issues, and the approach needs to be improved in only two of the areas investigated.
Effect of top cover material on productivity of solar distillation unit
Authors: Begum Hosney Ara , Yousuf M Abu , Rabbani K Siddique e
Published: July 2018

This work was taken up to design a cost effective and simple domestic scale solar water distillation device for use in the coastal villages of Bangladesh where saline free drinking water is scarce. This study mainly looked at the feasibility of using stretched transparent PVC cover in solar distillation devices in lieu of traditionally used transparent glass sheet. To increase total evaporative surface area of the bottom of stills, those were covered with black cotton fabrics with extended fibers. For the same angle of inclination (130) of the transparent cover, the average amount of distilled water produced by the transparent PVC sheet covered still was about 42% of that collected from a glass sheet covered still. The reason behind this poor performance could be traced to the increased surface adhesion of condensed water droplets with the PVC cover, which essentially scattered sunrays away from the solar still. So the way to go is to find a suitable plastic sheet material that has reduced surface adhesion to water or to find a coating material that can reduce surface adhesion too. Unless this can be done, traditional glass covered solar distillation device still remains the cover material of choice.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Physics Vol.9 No.1 2016 11-16

Authors: Zareei Mohammad Reza , Iranmanesh Mehdi
Published: July 2018

The aim of the present study is to develop closed-form formulations for predicting the ultimate compressive and tensional strength of stiffened steel panels with crack damages. First, a numerical database is generated. This database includes the ultimate strength levels of stiffened steel panels with cracks subjected to axial compressive or tensile loads. It was carried out with a series of nonlinear FEM analyses by varying the size of crack damage. In the following sections, regression analysis is used for deriving the empirical formulations. The results of the present paper can be used for the reliability and risk assessment of structures, including stiffened steel panels with cracks.
Natural convective flow in circular and arc cavities filled with water-cu nanofluid: a comparative study

Published: July 2018

The fluid flow and heat transfer mechanism on steady state solutions obtained in circular and arc-square enclosures filled with water/Cu nanofluid as well as base fluid has been investigated numerically by Galerkin's weighted residual finite element procedure. The left and right boundaries of the cavities are, respectively, heated and cooled at constant temperatures, while their horizontal walls are adiabatic. Effects of buoyancy force (Rayleigh number) and viscous force (Prandtl number) with a wide range of Ra (103 - 106) and Pr (4.2 - 6.2) on heat transfer phenomenon inside cavities are observed. The fluid flow and temperature gradient are shown by streamlines and isotherms patterns. From the investigation, it is reported that the Rayleigh and Prandtl numbers are playing significant role in heat transfer rate. The variation in heat transfer is calculated in terms of average Nusselt number. Heat transfer rate is found to be higher for water/Cu nanofluid with 2% solid volume fraction than pure water. About 2.7% higher heat transfer rate is obtained for circular cavity than that of arc cavity using water/Cu nanofluid at Ra = 104 and Pr = 5.8.

Vegetable production in greenhouses is preferred when soil quality is degraded by high salinity or incidence of pests and diseases. In these soils with abiotic and biotic issues, it is a challenge to increase the yield and quality of fruits. The use of rootstocks and organic substrates are effective and environmentally friendly techniques to solve that challenge. The objective was to study the effect of rootstocks on yields and quality in bell peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) grown in either soil or coconut fiber substrate, in greenhouses. Using a randomized block design with three repetitions, the resulting treatment groups consisted of three rootstocks (Foundation-F1, Yaocali-F1, CLX-PTX991-F1 (Ultron), and non-grafted controls) with four hybrids as scions (Lamborghini, Bambuca, DiCaprio, and Ucumari). The yield of fruit per plant (YFP) and number of fruit per plant (NFP) obtained in coconut fiber were 85% and 55% greater, respectively, than in soil. The CLX-PTX991-F1 rootstock was superior to the hybrids without rootstock (p ≤ 0.05) in YFP and NPF (30% and 19.5%, respectively). The Lamborghini hybrid had significantly greater YFP and NFP than the Ucumari. We concluded that the use of coconut fiber significantly improves the yields of bell pepper and that the use of rootstock improves plant vigor and plant yield.
Mode-Matching-Based Sound Field Recording and Synthesis with Circular Double-Layer Arrays
Authors: Okamoto Takuma
Published: July 2018

A sound field control approach is investigated for recording a primary sound field and synthesizing it at a secondary field without exterior radiation using circular double-layer arrays of microphones and loudspeakers. Although the conventional least-squares (LS) and generalized singular value decomposition (GSVD) approaches are based on numerical solutions and control the discretized interior and exterior sound pressures, this paper provides a mode-matching-based analytical method with circular double-layer receiver and source. The primary sound field cylindrical harmonic spectrum is analytically estimated from the recorded sound pressures without forbidden frequencies, and the driving signals of the loudspeakers for synthesizing it are analytically derived without interior and exterior control points. Computer simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed analytical formulation with circular double-layer arrays of microphones and loudspeakers. Compared to the conventional numerical LS and GSVD approaches, the interior sound field synthesis is more accurate and the exterior sound propagation is more effective in the proposed method under both free-field and reverberant conditions.
Kawaii Aesthetics from Japan to Europe: Theory of the Japanese “Cute” and Transcultural Adoption of Its Styles in Italian and French Comics Production and Commodified Culture Goods
Authors: Pellitteri Marco
Published: July 2018

Kawaii culture and aesthetics are a peculiarity of contemporary Japan and move across mass media, impulse goods, creative industries, and juvenile tendencies. The concept, graphic styles, and commodities related to a kawaii culture are composite. This article, in its first part, outlines the theories and general features of this cultural trend in Japan and as it is framed in most western countries. In the second part, it also focuses on whether and how the concept and the related styles and commodities have found a place in Europe, with particular reference to Italy and France. These two countries, in fact, have been since the late 1970s the key markets in the Euro-American region for Japanese contemporary culture for youths, namely Japanese comics (generally called manga) and commercial animation (or anime). Anime and manga are, in effect, an integral part of the theoretical discourse on kawaii in the two markets considered, as it is discussed accordingly in the second part of the article. In its last section, the article addresses the impact of kawaii styles on youth cultures in Europe, which is, although limited, multidimensional: it has involved spontaneous drawings among children, a certain amateur and professional comics production, amateur and commercial animation, toys and a diverse merchandising, street art, and fashion design.

Measuring Surgery Outcomes of Lung Cancer Patients with Concomitant Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Review of the Literature
Authors: Goto Taichiro
Published: July 2018

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the most common form of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, often progresses to restrictive respiratory disturbance and mortality, typically within 10 years. IPF frequently coexists with lung cancer, and the combination of these two disease entities is far more difficult to treat than either lung cancer or IPF alone. In particular, surgery for lung cancer with IPF in the background increases postoperative morbidity and mortality by exacerbating pre-existing IPF, i.e., acute exacerbation of IPF (AEIPF). Furthermore, the long-term outcome after lung cancer surgery is considerably worsened by the presence of IPF. We present here a comprehensive review of AEIPF and the long-term outcomes after surgery.
