Mechanical and microstructural characterization of AA7178-TiB2 composites
Authors: Mohanavel Vinayagam
Published: February 2020

In the present investigation, an aluminum alloy AA7178 was reinforced with three different weight fractions (3, 6 and 9 wt.-%) of titanium diboride (TiB2) particles which were efficaciously synthesized through exothermic reaction of halide salts such as potassium hexafluoro-titanate (K2TiF6) and potassium tetrafluoro-borate (KBF4), with molten aluminum melt to bring out unique properties. In-situ reaction between the halide salts, e. g., K2TiF6 and KBF4 in molten aluminum leads to the formation of TiB2 particles. The synthesized final composites were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The SEM micrographs indicated the even dispersion of the TiB2 filler particle in the composites. Tensile strength, compression strength and micro-hardness of the prepared composites is measured and compared to plain matrix alloy. The manufactured composites are mechanically characterized as per the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards, employing a computerized universal testing machine. The mechanical properties of the composite were discovered to be obviously superior to those of the basic matrix alloy owing to augmented particle content.

The Absolute: The Transition of the Premodern and Modern to the Postmodern in Understanding Self-sufficiency as the Absolute
Authors: Murashkin Mykhailo G.
Published: February 2020

The statement of the problem of the article in the general form boils down to the fact that in modern philosophy, provided the postmodern Absolute is presented as a certain state of man, a certain state of consciousness of a self-sufficient nature.The topic of the Absolute as self-sufficiency is considered in view of the fact that in the concepts of almost all postmodernist directions the problem of the Absolute appears.An analysis of recent research and publications reveals the Absolute and self-sufficiency in a modern and modern context. Thus, in Ukrainian religious studies it is noted that the pre-modern represents the Absolute and self-sufficiency as something supernatural, as God, not from this world, but self-sufficient (where not man as God in his higher states of spirit is not from this world), when everything is just present is lower in the world.
On the Ritual in the Buddhist Context
Authors: Sarapin Oleksandr V.
Published: February 2020

It is impossible to imagine any religious system without its inherent ritual component. At the same time, given the polysemy and contextuality of the concept of "ritual", I immediately propose a limitation, which is extremely important for the methodology of disclosure of the topic. It is an interpretation of the ritual in the light of W. Robertson Smith's research setting. Accordingly, this concept becomes an identifier of religious practice, or more precisely, a designation of traditionally established and authoritatively supported various religious (religious) practices. Accordingly, we draw attention to the versatility of the term "ritual" (ritus, ritual, ritual, rituel, rite, rito), which is used to fix religious practices, ceremonial activities and ceremonies.

La alimentación en la educación infantil a la luz de la perspectivca triádica del desarrollo
Authors: Correa Alencar Ana Carolina , Rengifo-Herrera Francisco José
Published: February 2020

La alimentación no solo es una práctica que permite la nutrición de los niños, sino que también facilita la construcción de conocimientos, prácticas y significados culturales en relación con el grupo al que pertenecen. Las relaciones triádicas (adultos-objeto-niños) en los procesos educativos relacionados con la alimentación son aún poco discutidas. Los niños se apropian del conocimiento a través de acciones compartidas con los cuidadores, quienes les permiten compartir significados y usos de objetos (utensilios). Sin embargo, la comida debe considerarse como un cuarto elemento, entre los tres elementos adulto-objeto-niño, que involucra el conocimiento sobre la cultura, otros y el contexto social. Este artículo se enfoca en una revisión de la literatura sobre este tema y la necesidad de ampliar el conocimiento sobre los procesos alimentarios en el contexto escolar e ir más allá de un enfoque nutricional. Comprender las relaciones cognitivas y semióticas que surgen en la comida favorece la creación de nuevas prácticas en educación. Del mismo modo, esto abre nuevas oportunidades para analizar la organización psicológica, el aprendizaje y el desarrollo de los niños.

A Proposal of AMM (Adapted Mudarabah Model) for Shariah Compliant Home Financing in Malaysia
Authors: Ahamed Aswer Abu Azaheem , Jalil Abdullaah , Muhamed Nurul Aini
Published: February 2020

This study aims to propose a Shariah compliant mode of house financing named as “Adapted Mudarabah Model” or abbreviated as AMM. The proposal is made after discussing the most two common schemes for Islamic home financing i.e. BBA (Bayʿ Bithaman Ajil) dan MM (Musharakah Mutanaqisah) and their Shariah related issues. Thus, it is exploratory and conceptual in nature. This Shariah compliant financing model is proposed due to the shortfalls in the BBA and MM models where there are some unresolved and controversial Shariah and legal issues. This study uses the concept of mudarabah in this model and suggests that by implementing this model, all of the issues discussed in BBA and MM can be mitigated as the model does not require the Islamic banks to fulfill any of the conditions and obligations of counter-values. The proposal discussed in this article could contribute to the diversification of Shariah contracts for Islamic financing products. It is one of the celebrated ways in developing Islamic finance practices. The discussions of this paper focus on the Shariah aspects of the proposed model especially on mudarabah and qard contracts. The technical applications presented stand as illustrations and require further investigations and examinations for further application.

Authors: Wan Abdullah W Muhammad Zainuddin , Kamaruddin Muhammad Iqmal Hisham , Zainuddin Wan Nur Rahini Aznie
Published: February 2020

Nowadays, Islamic banks are facing tough competition among themselves and conventional banks that offer services and banking products based on Islamic principles. Such competition leads to issue involving customer satisfaction regarding the Islamic financing products and the efficiency of the services offered. Thus, the aims of this paper is to investigate the linkage effect of service quality (efficiency) on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty of Islamic automobile financing in Malaysia. Survey data was collected from 584 walk-in customers of selected bank outlets in the state of Selangor, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya. The data was then analysed using Pearson Correlation and Multiple Regression technique. Results show that customer satisfaction and customer loyalty were positively affected by quality of service offered by Islamic Banks. Hence, based on the results, Islamic bank should have an effective computerised system, good legal advisory, Islamic compliance, well-trained staff, secure transaction, sufficient bank branches, and as well as sufficient facility and information in order to uplift and improve efficiency of the bank.

Published: February 2020

The recurrent floods in recent decades have imposed a challenge of embankment dam breaching, which needs great attention through improved design methods that are based on risk approach, the evacuation plans for people at risk, etc. In this study, based on the small-scale model tests a series of experiments were conducted to determine the breaching process of cohesive embankment dam using a simplified physical based breach model due to overtopping; the breach process observed during tests in the laboratory and the results from analyzed parameters are described. Five dam models, three of which were constructed with homogenous clay soil while two were sandy-clay mixture tested. The heights of the embankments dam were 0.45 m, and the widths at the crest were 0.20 m. The data from these examinations indicated that headcut erosion played an important role in the process of breach development. Initiation of erosion, flow shear erosion, sidewall bottom erosion, and distinct soil mechanical slope mass failure from the headcut vertically and laterally were all observed during these tests. In this physical based experimental model, the initial scouring position calculated by applying a hydraulic method, the broad crested weir formula used for breaching flow discharge and flow velocity computed based on breach flow discharge. The stability of the side slope failures was estimated by comparing the resisting and deriving force. Further, using data from laboratory experiments, the calculated peak breach discharge, breach characteristics times, breach widths, and breach flow velocity generally agreed well with the measured data and also the knowledge acquired from observed breach process at several stages. Finally, the accuracy of model was checked by root-mean-square-error.
Classical Political Philosophy and the Crisis of Modernity – An alternative to the competition State
Authors: Rendtorff Jacob Dahl
Published: February 2020

The conservative Jewish, German and American philosopher Leo Strauss (1899-1973) proposes an interpretation of the causes of the crisis of modernity and argues that the only way in which we can reestablish social stability is to go back to classical political philosophy by Plato and Aristotle. In the following, I will introduce thought of Leo Strauss in order to show how we here can find a well-qualified concept of political conservativism. It is however clear, that this intellectual aristocratism is different from dominant conservative at the political right that also can be accused of having reduced politics to economics and utility maximization where focus is on promotion of personal privileges and interests rather than a concern for the common good in a strong political community.

Authors: Tabernacka Magdalena
Published: February 2020

The ratification of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence in Poland was preceded by a heated debate. From the very beginning it was be object of political battles between the conservative and liberal circles. Culturally and socially conditioned position of women has influenced its operation and the scope of its implementation. The Convention is a universally binding tool which guarantees the protection of human rights in events of violence against the woman and children. The case of this Convention in Poland proofs the existence of a universal European understanding of human rights protection standards. The Convention thus has a protective function not only for individuals but also, in a broader context, for the common European cultural identity.

Published: February 2020

Tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy is a commonly performed ENT operation over the world, also in our country. Though the operation takes less time and postoperative complication is uncommon but its postoperative complication specially the reactionary haemorrhage as well as secondary haemorrhage is life threatening which heralds immediate appropriate and adequate intervention. So, not only the meticulous surgical procedure rather each and every surgeon should not leave any stone unturned regarding preoperative, peroperative and postoperative care to prevent postoperative complication. More and more study regarding postoperative complication(s) of tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy operation should be carried out to increase awareness and consciousness among the ENT surgeons.

Objective: to determine the success rate of underlay technique of myringoplasty regarding rate of graft take, complications and hearing improvement.
Methods: This Cross sectional study was done in the department of ENT & Head-Neck Surgery, Dhaka Medical College Hospital & Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical college Hospital, Dhaka from July 2012 to December 2012. Sixty(60) patients who underwent myringoplasties were included in the study. All myringoplasty were performed by a postaural approach using autologous temporalis fascia and underlay technique.
Results: The total success rate (graft uptake) was 88.3% and of the successful cases an overall hearing improvement was achieved in 73.58% of cases. The mean audiological improvement in air conduction threshold was 13.24 dB & mean closure of the air bone gap was 11.64 dB. The mean values of hearing gain of small perforations and subtotal perforations have shown significant difference.The mean values of hearing gain between posterior perforation and subtotal perforation have shown significant difference.
Conclusion: Underlay myringoplasty is an effective technique of repairing the tympanic membrane perforation due to high rate of graft take and marked hearing improvement.

Shingles: Extensive Clinical Presentation of Herpes Zoster Infection
Authors: Chowdhury Nazmul Hossain , Biswas Akhil Chandra , Islam Md Ashraful , Milki Farid Uddin , Khan Saif Rahman
Published: February 2020

Shingles, also known as zoster, herpes zoster, or zona, is a viral disease characterized by painful skin rash with blisters.Typically the rash occurs on either side of face in a single stripe. Two to four days before the rash occurs there may be pain or tingling in the area. The rash usually heals within two to four weeks.Ongoing nerve pain may last for months or years,condition called postherpetic neuralgia. In those with poor immune function the rash may occur widely. If the rash involves the eye, vision loss may occur. Shingles is due to a reactivation of varicella zoster virus (VZV) within body. Chickenpox is due to an initial infection with VZV. Once chickenpox has resolved, the virus may remain inactive in nerve cells. Risk factors for reactivation include older age, poor immune function, and having had chickenpox before 18 months of age. Diagnosis is typically based on signs and symptoms. The shingles vaccine decreases the chance of shingles by about half in those between the ages of 50 and 80. It also decreases rates of postherpetic neuralgia. Antiviral medications such as aciclovir can reduce the severity and duration of disease if started within 72 hours of the appearance of the rash. NSAIDs or opioids may be used to help with the acute pain.It is estimated that about a third of people develop shingles at some point in their life. children may also get the disease. The number of new cases per year ranges from 1.2–3.4 per 1,000.

Published: February 2020

Pleomorphic adenomas arising in the nasal cavity are extremely uncommon, despite the large numbers of minor mucous and serous glands in the region. We present a rare case of a pleomorphic adenoma arising from the right nasal vestibule in a 65-year-old man complained of right nasal obstruction for 6 months. Anterior rhinoscopy showed a reddish, firm, polypoid mass in right nasal cavity which is free from the nasal septum and from the inferior tubinate but it was attached to the nasal vestibule. Flexible nasal endoscopy showed no extension of the mass towards the posterior choana or nasopharynx. The mass was completely excised from the nasal vestibule through intranasal approach and sent for histology which confirmed a pleomorphic adenoma with a predominant stromal component. The main treatment modality is surgical resection with histological clear margins. Recurrences and evolution to malignancy are not frequent, but long tern follow-up is recommended. In our case, the patient demonstrated satisfactory cosmetic results with no evidence of recurrence.

Published: February 2020

Neuroendocrine carcinoma is an uncommon tumor. Primary NEC of the paranasal sinuses is extremely rare; only about 76 cases have been reported in literature. Unfortunately due to the rarity of this neoplasm, there are no specific recommendations regarding management of the disease. While Surgery was used in the past, chemoradiation now seems to be evolving as the treatment of choice. The clinical presentation, imaging studies, histopathological diagnosis with immunohistochemistry correlation, management protocols, and a brief review of literature of this rare tumor is discussed.

Objectives: To determine the degree and pattern of hearing impairment among patients attending audiology department of a tertiary level hospital.
Methods: This was a cross sectional observational study which was carried out in the department of audiology of National Institute of ENT(NIENT) during the period of March 2015 to June 2017. A total number of 8338 patients complaining hearing impairment were included in this study. The clinical diagnosis was established by history, detailed clinical examination including otoscopic examination and all findings were recorded. Hearing assessment was done by different hearing tests according to age and need of patient. Pure Tone Average (PTA) was done on averaging the hearing threshold at 0.5, 1 and 2 kHz.
Results: In this study majority of patients (30.1%) were within 25-40 years of age and most of the patients (61.27%) were male. Mild degree of hearing loss was found to have higher prevalence (40.9%) compared to other degrees of hearing losses and more than half (52.5%) of our study population had conductive hearing loss.
Conclusion: Mild degree of hearing impairment and conductive type of hearing impairment are more prevalent. Audiological evaluation especially in suspected hearing impaired patient should be a priority.
