OBJECTIVE

To determine complication rates for dogs in which full-thickness large intestinal incisions were performed, assess potential risk factors for death during hospitalization and for intestinal dehiscence following these surgeries, and report short-term mortality rates for these patients.

ANIMALS

90 dogs.

PROCEDURES

Medical records of 4 veterinary referral hospitals were reviewed to identify dogs that underwent large intestinal surgery requiring full-thickness incisions. Signalment, history, clinicopathologic data, medical treatments, surgical procedures, complications, and outcomes were recorded. Descriptive statistics were calculated; data were analyzed for association with survival to discharge (with logistic regression analysis) and postoperative intestinal dehiscence (with Fisher exact or Wilcoxon rank sum tests).

RESULTS

Overall 7-day postoperative intestinal dehiscence and mortality rates were 9 of 90 (10%) and 15 of 90 (17%). Dogs with preoperative anorexia, hypoglycemia, or neutrophils with toxic changes and those that received preoperative antimicrobial treatment had greater odds of death than did dogs without these findings. Preexisting colon trauma or dehiscence, preexisting peritonitis, administration of blood products, administration of > 2 classes of antimicrobials, positive microbial culture results for a surgical sample, and open abdominal management of peritonitis after surgery were associated with development of intestinal dehiscence. Five of 9 dogs with intestinal dehiscence died or were euthanized.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Factors associated with failure to survive to discharge were considered suggestive of sepsis. Results suggested the dehiscence rate for full-thickness large intestinal incisions may not be as high as previously reported, but several factors may influence this outcome and larger, longer-term studies are needed to confirm these findings.
The Phase–Space Approach to time Evolution of Quantum States in Confined Systems: the Spectral Split–Operator Method
Authors: Kołaczek Damian , Spisak Bartłomiej J. , Wołoszyn Maciej
Published: October 2019

Using the phase space approach, we consider the quantum dynamics of a wave packet in an isolated confined system with three different potential energy profiles. We solve the Moyal equation of motion for the Wigner function with the highly efficient spectral split-operator method. The main aim of this study is to compare the accuracy of the employed algorithm through analysis of the total energy expectation value, in terms of deviation from its exact value. This comparison is performed for the second and fourth order factorizations of the time evolution operator.
On the Convergence of Sigmoidal Fuzzy Grey Cognitive Maps
Authors: Harmati István Á. , Kóczy László T.
Published: October 2019

Fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) are recurrent neural networks applied for modelling complex systems using weighted causal relations. In FCM-based decision-making, the inference about the modelled system is provided by the behaviour of an iteration. Fuzzy grey cognitive maps (FGCMs) are extensions of fuzzy cognitive maps, applying uncertain weights between the concepts. This uncertainty is expressed by the so-called grey numbers. Similarly as in FCMs, the inference is determined by an iteration process which may converge to an equilibrium point, but limit cycles or chaotic behaviour may also turn up. In this paper, based on the grey connections between the concepts and the parameters of the sigmoid threshold function, we give sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of fixed points of sigmoid FGCMs.
A Reference Trajectory Based Discrete Time Sliding Mode Control Strategy
Authors: Bartoszewicz Andrzej , Adamiak Katarzyna
Published: October 2019

This study presents a new, reference trajectory based sliding mode control strategy for disturbed discrete time dynamical systems. The desired trajectory, which is generated externally according to an existing switching type reaching law, determines the properties of the emerging sliding motion of the system. It is proved that an appropriate choice of the trajectory generator parameters ensures the existence of the quasi-sliding motion of the system according to the definition by Gao et al. (1995) in spite of the influence of disturbances. Moreover, the paper shows that the application of the desired trajectory based reaching law results in a significant reduction in the quasi-sliding mode band width and errors of all state variables. Therefore, in comparison with Gao’s control method, the system’s robustness is increased. The paper also presents an additional modification of the reaching law, which guarantees a further reduction in the quasi-sliding mode band in the case of slowly varying disturbances. The results are confirmed with a simulation example.
Fenugreek seeds estrogenic activity in ovariectomized female rats
Authors: Brogi Hind , Elbachir Hajji , Amrani Najat El , Amsaguine Siham , Radallah Driss
Published: October 2019

The estrogenic activities of fenugreek seeds (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.), widely used in traditional pharmacopoeia, are reflected in the uterus of ovariectomized female rats, with a slight increase in dry and wet weight, a thickening of the stroma and the uterine epithelium and the development of the endometrial glands. In the vagina, the estrogenic action is shown through an increase in the epidermal cell number and a tendency to keratinization, leading to vaginal opening.

Furthermore, this estrogenic potential of fenugreek seeds is confirmed by the over-expression of progesterone receptors in the uterine tissues supporting possible interactions between phytoestrogens and estrogen receptors.

Therefore, Fenugreek seeds may be capable of promoting the development of reproductive tissues of immature ovariectomized rats, and its estrogenic activity may take its action by holding phystoestrogens that interact with estrogen binding sites and activate the same estradiol-mediated cell signaling pathways.

Thus, our results give added scientific support to the popular use of Fenugreek seeds as an alternative for several health problems such as fertility and menopause related disorders.

Published: October 2019

Acute coronary syndromes exhibit rapid and variable ischemic dynamics, with consecutive electrocardiographic changes, sometimes in the absence of angina.

We report the case of a 50 year-old man, admitted for suspected angor de novo, asymptomatic upon admission, and with a normal electrocardiogram. After a few hours, the repeated electrocardiogram displays biphasic T waves in V2–V4, in the absence of symptoms, and then marked ST elevation in the same territory, without chest pain. The patient is transferred with a STEMI diagnosis, and the coronary angiography documents a critical sub-occlusive stenosis in the proximal segment of the left anterior descending artery (LAD), for which a drug-eluting stent is inserted, with a favourable evolution.

Wellens syndrome is defined by characteristic electrocardiographic changes of T waves in leads V2–V4, occurring in the context of unstable angina, usually without pain. They express a critical stenosis in the proximal LAD artery. Recognition of the Wellens syndrome is crucial, as these “pre-infarction” changes tend to evolve, sometimes rapidly, to an extensive anterior myocardial infarction. The rapid and unpredictable ischemic electrocardiographic changes make this case remarkable, as they occur in an asymptomatic patient with unstable angina (angor de novo), thus underlining the need for careful supervision in such patients.

Published: October 2019

ZrO2 thin films were deposited on 316L stainless steel substrate by a radio-frequency magnetron sputtering system. The substrate bias voltage, the working gas rate and the reactive gas fraction in the gas mixture were varied. These variations produce a variation in the deferent properties of the obtained films. The deposited films were characterized by X-Rays Diffraction, Atomic Force Microscopy, nano-indentation and potentiodynamic polarization. The experimental results show that the film thickness and the roughness of the films are highly influenced by the plasma parameters. XRD results show that the monoclinic phase is predominant in unbiased deposited films. The best anti-corrosion performance and hardness were obtained for ZrO2 deposited with a substrate bias voltage of −75 V, Ar rate of 6 sccm and oxygen fraction of 25%.

Published: October 2019

We report on influence of the surface functionalization on the properties of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. The samples were processed in nitric acid and characterized by XPS, Raman and EDX spectroscopies, AFM, SEM and optical microscopy. It is shown that interaction of nitric acid with the surface of HOPG leads to two types of reactions: oxidation of the graphite and intercalation of the nitrate ions at the blistered areas.

Published: October 2019

Com o crescimento da aviação comercial surge a necessidade de se investir em projetos de dimensionamento de turbinas a gás de modo a se obter um melhor rendimento do motor de propulsão através da redução perdas ao longo da turbina. Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo dimensionar um compressor e uma turbina de propulsão de eixo axial para um avião a jato do tipo Phenom 300E. Para cumprir tal objetivo foram realizados cálculos que possibilitam determinar: a taxa de compressão e expansão no compressor e na turbina respectivamente; a temperatura e a velocidade de entrada e saída em cada estágio do compressor e da turbina; a geometria das pás do rotor e estator do compressor e da turbina; o número de estágios em cada um e; a área na entrada e saída do compressor e da turbina. Para o dimensionamento foram utilizados  dados de velocidade e altura de cruzeiro fornecidos pelo fabricante do avião. Foi possível determinar que em sete estágios de compressão o compressor axial projetado consegue atingir a razão de compressão de 8 arbitrada inicialmente, aumentando a pressão e temperatura ao longo dos estágios à medida que as alturas e ângulos das palhetas estatoras e rotoras variam enquanto que na turbina foram necessários apenas dois estágios de expansão para conseguir gerar a energia necessária para o compressor e para o empuxo do avião.
What Do We Learn from the Classical Turning Surface of the Kohn-Sham Potential as Electron Number Is Varied Continuously?
Authors: Gould Tim , Libereles Benjamin , Perdew John P.
Published: October 2019

The classical turning radius Rt of an atom can be defined as the radius where the KS potential is equal to the negative ionisation potential of the atom, i.e. where v_s(R_t)=\epsilon_h. It was recently shown [P.N.A.S. 115, E11578 (2018)] to yield chemically relevant bonding distances, in line with known empirical values. In this work we show that extension of the concept to non-integer electron number yields additional information about atomic systems, and can be used to detect the difficulty of adding or subtracting electrons. Notably, it reflects the ease of bonding in open p-shells, and its greater difficulty in open s-shells. The latter manifests in significant discontinuities in the turning radius as the electron number changes the principal quantum number of the outermost electronic shell (e.g. going from Na to Na^{2+}). We then show that a non-integer picture is required to correctly interpret bonding and dissociation in H_2^+. Results are consistent when properties are calculated exactly, or via an appropriate approximation. They can be interpreted in the context of conceptual density functional theory.

Trata-se de uma contribuição da Geografia, trazendo o espaço geográfico como instância social, o espaço banal, para essa elaboração. Para tanto, partimos de uma apresentação dos limites impostos a ela, formulando sobre alguns conceitos-obstáculo, para a compreensão sobre o mundo que, no presente, sempre se apresenta como uma crise. Esse mundo globalizado, acelerado, fugaz, portador de perversidades e de um processo crescente de constituição de desigualdades socioespaciais. Como nesse mundo tratar da preservação do patrimônio ambiental, diante da volúpia, dinâmica e voracidade que o caracteriza? A Geografia traz para discussão os conceitos de território usado, rugosidades, paisagem e lugar propostos pela Geografia Renovada fazendo apelo, ainda, aos conceitos de ação, duração e memória como mediação deste exercício teórico.

Published: October 2019

This research was conducted to provide a comprehensive description about how the results of the cognitive learning outcomes of the physics field were indirectly supported by self-efficacy in the decision making process of the beliefs of the chosen answers. This research is descriptive qualitative research and involves 24 samples of class X students. The sample technique chosen was purposive sampling. The testing of cognitive learning outcomes in cognitive domains was conducted and designed by physics education lecturers and self-efficacy testing carried out and designed by lecturers in the direction of guidance and counseling using attitude scales. This combination of measurements produces two decisions on self-efficacy: positive and negative. The results of the study showed that students with high self-efficacy got high scores also on the physics test of cognitive learning outcomes. These students are classified as students with positive self-efficacy. Conversely, negative self-efficacy shows that students have high self-efficacy but get low cognitive test results in cognitive domains. These results are certainly influenced by several factors including uncertainty and anxiety.

Published: October 2019

Augmented reality (AR) gives the ability to visualize an object (atoms
and molecules, their interference, circuits of the devices, technological
processes, etc.) as much as possible, meaning to convert a 2D image to
3D, as well as “make it alive”. The objective of the work is development
of a mobile application designed for reproduction of study material in
natural sciences using Augmented Reality. The main task is the selection
and creation of 3D-study demonstration material and video data of
practical works and laboratory experiments, according to the current
programs in physics, chemistry, biology for secondary education
establishments, which can be used by the teacher and pupils to prepare
an effective performance. Two methods of augmented reality
implementation were combined for maximal visualization of the study
material. The first one is using 3D-images, which made the 2D-images of
handbooks “alive”, converting them into 3D, with animation ability; the
second one is reproduction of the developed video material on mobile
devices by “connecting” them with individual markers for any practical or
laboratory work. A mobile application for reproduction of video data in
natural sciences provides the pupil with an ability to find out about the
safety regulations before the work performance, chemicals and
equipment, necessary for its performance and with the course of work in
video. Pictures of laboratory work elements were chosen for the mobile
app; they were created on “Vuforia” platform, realized in software as
augmented reality objects with a multiplatform instrument for
development of two- and three-dimensional applications, named “Unity
3D”. Implementation of augmented reality objects will increase the level
of data memorization as a result of interactivity of its image in 3D, will
give the opportunity the modern teacher to explain a big volume of theory fast and understandable, update the demonstration of study
material, and for the pupils to memorize it effectively, will improve the
critical thinking, boost motivation for study and will give the ability to
gain some skills while performing the experiment.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE
CONTEXT OF FORMING THE DIGITAL
COMPETENCE OF FUTURE TEACHERS
Authors: Vorobets Oleksii
Published: October 2019

The article analyzes information technologies as components of the
formation of the digital competence of future primary school teachers,
focuses on practically oriented online resources (Canva, Paint Kards,
VivaVideo-Video Editor & Photo Movie, mozaBook, etc.). Modernization of
all spheres of modern life results in changes in the educational
environment. The integration of information technologies into the
formation of the digital competence of future teachers at the lessons of
the linguistic and literary direction is due to the problem of losing the
interest of schoolchildren in the book and reading in general. Therefore,
it is quite logical to use close to modern children new technologies, since
the student of the XXI century needs not only the updating of technical
support, but also teaching methods. Thus, a modern teacher of the
primary school in the context of the formation of digital competence
must have the full range of available innovative instruments. It has been
highlighted that modern information technologies, combining various
possibilities, being universal, can imitate educational toys and games, at
the same time they act as an equal partner, able to respond subtly to
relevant actions and inquiries. In this area, educational institutions are
being increasingly provided with computers, projectors, interactive
whiteboards, tablets, e-books, whiteboards of the new generation of
ЕdPrо Tоuch and mozaBook software. All this requires a teacher to be a
professional who can work in a team, creatively approach the
organization of the educational process.

Published: October 2019

Los patrones de actividad de las poblaciones animales fluctúan a lo largo del año, como respuesta a la disponibilidad de recursos, cambios en el clima y actividad de depredadores. Estudiar los patrones de actividad de las especies es necesario no sólo para aumentar el conocimiento de su historia natural sino también para la planeación de muestreos acordes a los periodos de mayor actividad. Con la finalidad de reconocer los patrones de actividad de la chachalaca pálida (Ortalis poliocephala) en una selva seca del suroeste de México en dos temporadas, usamos la información recabada con cámaras-trampa durante los inviernos de 2011-2012 y 2012-2013 y las primaveras de 2012 y 2013. La actividad diaria de la chachalaca pálida fue bimodal con mayor actividad de 10:00 a 11:00 h y de las 18:00 a 20:00 h. Los patrones de actividad temporal presentaron similitud en dos de los cuatro periodos de muestreo (P > 0.05), lo que indica que los patrones de actividad se mantienen independientemente de la cantidad de horas luz. En contraste, la actividad de las chachalacas fue diferente en el invierno de 2012-2013 (P < 0.05), posiblemente como respuesta a la presencia de elementos exógenos no climáticos, como depredadores. Durante los diseños de muestreo para estudios poblaciones se deben considerar los patrones de actividad de las especies de crácidos para entender su biología y contribuir a las estrategias de manejo y conservación.

Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of Stove Systems for Cooking and Drying of Muga Silk
Authors: Sengupta Anal Ranjan , Gupta R. , Biswas A.
Published: October 2019

In India, Silk industry plays an important part in textile industry. Muga silk, the golden yellow silk is quite unique to Assam, North-east India where its production is regarded as an important tool for economic development. But, outdated manufacturing technology is followed during the silk production in Assam. The existing cooking process of silk cocoons consists of boiling of silk cocoons in a stainless steel vessel along with water and soda in an open fireplace which is highly energy inefficient. Therefore, two modified systems have been designed; one having cylindrical boiling chamber (vessel) and the other having spherical boiling chamber (vessel). Both the chambers are having a cocoon heating chamber associated with them for cooking and drying of silk cocoons simultaneously. These designs are further classified into two types of designs based on channel and nozzle type combustion chambers. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to improve the existing designs to maximize the utilization of heat carried by the combustion gases. These modified systems are analysed by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) selecting standard k–є model. From the analysis, it is seen that these new systems having nozzle type combustion chambers are more efficient than the systems having cylindrical combustion chambers and if these systems are used in silk production, it will be very beneficial for the silk industry as well as for our society.
Catastrophic Health Expenditure: An Experience from Health Insurance Program in Nepal
Authors: Paudel Deepak Raj
Published: October 2019

High expenditure due to health care is a noted public health concern in Nepal and such expenditure is expected to reduce through the access to health insurance. This study determines the factors affecting household’s catastrophic health care expenditure in Kailali district, where the government health insurance program was first piloted in Nepal. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from January to February 2018 among 1048 households (6480 individuals) after 21 months of the execution of the social health insurance program.  For the sample selection, wards were selected in the first stage followed by the selection of the households. Overall, 17.8% of the households reported catastrophic health expenditure using a threshold of more than 10% of out-of-pocket payment to total household expenditure. The study found that households without having health insurance, low economic status, and head with low level of education were more likely to face catastrophic spending. The findings suggest a policy guideline in the ongoing national health insurance debate in Nepal. The government health insurance program is currently at expansion stage, so, increase in insurance coverage, could financially help vulnerable households by reducing catastrophic health expenditure.

of a large English vocabulary in French. The threats come not only from

English, but also from other foreign languages, including the languages of the

countries of immigration living in France and the language of the neighboring

countries. The interaction of French with these languages seems understandable

and accepted in French politics itself. French teaching methods include today of

many vocabularies in foreign languages, which should be free of any foreign

influence. It shows that French began to open up, that learning the language

should also learn about its culture and all things related. The case is now,

not how to stop it, but how to control it and see it as a positive attempt in

human interaction. It is the purpose of this study. Linguistically, it is

interesting to study this problem using sociopragmatic theory, i.e. considering

the practice of the use of foreign languages in the manual of French from the

culture and pragmatism. Using data from French teaching methods, the analysis

was conducted using a descriptive analytical method, with sociolinguistic and

pragmatic as theoretical background. The expected outcome of this study is the discovery of the positives of the interference of foreign

languages in the teaching of French methods and it does not harm the

reputation of French in the eyes of the international community.

Writing is a proficiency which is very difficult and complex. This is because the learner needs many aspects to master, such as lexical aspect, grammatical aspect, the ability to present facts and express their thoughts, etc. According to the results of the final review of the 4th semester students, we found that students have encountered a lot of grammatical errors in the course of writing. As a result, we search for analysis to identify this problem and find solutions. Therefore, the problem proposed in this research is: 1) what type of error is often done by students in the course of writing? (2) What is the grammatical error which is found a lot depending on the result type? (3) What are the solutions to solve them? In order to find answers to this problem,we did a descriptive qualitative research with qualitative method by analyzing of the errors. We found that: 1) the dominant type of error is the grammatical error, 2) the most significant type of grammatical error is the error of the adjective. So, in order to solve the problems, students must have a good grammatical skill in the first half; we have to make the students know their grammatical errors even if it’s very simple, give more exercises in the students so that they are used to write correctly

The creative industry which is one of Indonesia's valuable cultural heritages and has been known throughout the world is Batik. The culture of making batik has also been occupied by some residents of Surabaya, but only its presence has not been widely exposed. However, its existence is still not developed optimally, the Surabaya city government initiated the Putat Batik House as the center handmade Batik Village in Surabaya. The purpose of this research is to obtain the formulation of strategies that can be applied to maximize the utilization of potential effort to develop the Medium Creative Industry (IKM) of handmade batik in Surabaya. The value chain mapping is carried out as a basis of information on value formation in a creative industry which can be seen from the aspects of creation, production, distribution and commercialization. Information of value chain mapping is valuable for an input to determine the strategic factors of batik industry village. The results of the study were obtained, that a value chain process of the IKM handmade batik activities began from material planning to network marketing. The total internal matrix value of 4.013 is classified as "Strong" and the total external matrix value of 4,286 shows the response to the external environment is classified as "High". If the total score of internal and external factors is mapped in the matrix, then the position of the company in the "First" quadrant is a growth strategy, namely: concentration on human resources, skills, target markets,  market expansion and networking and product development.
Bazı Amerikan Asma Anaçlarının Kurağa Dayanımının In Vitro’da Polietilen Glikol Kullanılarak Belirlenmesi
Authors: MEŞE Nuray , TANGOLAR Serpil
Published: October 2019

Çalışmada,
Kober 5 BB (kuraklığa hassas), 110 R (kuraklığa dayanıklı) ve 1103 P (kuraklığa
orta dayanıklı) anaçları kullanılarak, kuraklığa dayanımın in vitro da erken belirlenmesi için uygun Polietilen Glikol (PEG)
dozunun belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaca yönelik olarak yaz sürgünlerinden
alınan odunlaşmamış boğumlar in vitro
koşullarda 1 mg/L BA içeren Murashige ve Skoog (MS) ortamında kültüre
alınmıştır. Bu boğumlardan elde edilen sürgünler kuraklık stresi oluşturmak
için %0.0, %2.5, %5.0, %7.5 ve %10.0 oranında PEG ilave edilmiş 1 mg/L IBA içeren
MS ortamına aktarılmıştır. Altı haftalık kültür sonunda bu sürgünlerde zarar
derecesi, bitki boyu, boğum sayısı, ortalama kök uzunluğu ve kök sayısı, bitki
yaş ve kuru ağırlığı, kök yaş ve kuru ağırlığı, klorofil miktarı ve bitki besin
elementi içerikleri incelenmiştir. Sonuçta,
PEG' in artan dozları ile zarar derecesinin arttığı, büyüme ve gelişmenin
gerilediği, bitki yaş ve kuru ağırlığı ile kök yaş ve kuru ağırlığının azaldığı
belirlenmiştir. Bitki boyu, kontrol uygulamasında 6.5 cm iken %7.5 ve %10 PEG’
de 1.7 cm ölçülmüştür. Kontrol bitkilerinin bitki yaş ve kuru ağırlığı
(sırasıyla, 0.257 ve 0.042 g) ile kök yaş ve kuru ağırlığı (sırasıyla, 0.218 ve
0.023 g) PEG uygulamalarından daha yüksek çıkmıştır. SPAD okumalarında da değerlerin artan PEG dozları ile ters
orantılı olarak azaldığı görülmüştür. Bitki element içerikleri dikkate
alındığında, farklı PEG uygulamalarında, P, K ve Ca ile Mn ve Cu element
değerlerinin kontrol bitkilerine göre daha düşük olduğu saptanmıştır. Çalışma
sonucunda, asma anaçlarında kurağa dayanımın in vitro koşullarda erken belirlenmesi amacıyla PEG’in özellikle
%2.5 ve %5.0 dozları ile, sürgün ve kök özelliklerinin kullanılabileceği
kanaatine varılmıştır.

As an industry placement through the WISEST Summer Research Program, an opportunity was provided to work with the City of Edmonton in an exploration of careers in engineering and architecture. The focus and scope of this placement was mainly centred around the Integrated Infrastructure and Engineering Services at the City. Through shadowing multidisciplinary engineers, technologists and architects, experience in both administrative and more hands-on work was gained. Some career pathways that were explored include materials engineering, geotechnical engineering, facilities (structural, mechanical and electrical) engineering, environmental engineering, geomatics engineering, and architecture. Throughout the duration of the program, information about the different roles and their collaboration with each other was gathered. Instead of performing research in labs, absorption of information was conducted mainly through means of observation. The City of Edmonton provided opportunities to attend various site visits, building and lab tours, and even to meetings in downtown. Tasks such as reviewing reports and drawings, attending meetings, and sitting in on business calls, all demonstrated the administrative nature of engineering and architecture. On the other hand, the more hands-on aspects of engineering were also emphasised through tasks such as assisting with field work, on-site testing, sample collecting, and data logging. With Integrated Infrastructure Services (IIS), the collaborative and interconnected nature of these careers were displayed, as each branch worked in conjunction with each other. The role of each different type of engineering and architecture is further defined in sequential order of the stages that leads to the life cycle of a construction project. This shows the direct results of each career field in contributing to the development, progression and completion of a project.
