Using a smartphone app to identify signs of pre-eclampsia and/or worsening blood pressure
Authors: Sheehan Elaine , Khalil Asma , Kay Lesley
Published: February 2019

Background

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy complicate 10% of pregnancies and can have serious consequences.

Aims

To explore the experiences of pregnant women with a history of hypertension using an innovative home blood pressure monitoring device.

Methods

A qualitative study using a grounded theory approach was undertaken. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Women were given a blood pressure machine to monitor their blood pressure daily. They inserted their blood pressure results on a smartphone app and answered questions for signs of pre-eclampsia. Participants were followed up every 2 weeks.

Findings

The results suggested that women wanted a holistic care pathway for the management of hypertension in pregnancy. Three subcategories (‘empowerment’, ‘comparison of care pathways’ and ‘continuity of care’) were also identified.

Conclusions

The traditional management of hypertension in pregnancy is not holistic. The home blood pressure service was accepted by women and incorporated elements of holistic care but more is required to meet the standard of care that women need.
Optometry and independent prescribing
Authors: Rumney Nicholas
Published: February 2019

In 2008, optometry became the latest autonomous regulated healthcare profession to achieve independent prescribing. Independent prescribing in optometry remains a postgraduate qualification which, with the notable exception of Scotland, has been largely self-funded. There are now approximately 600 optometrists qualified as independent prescribers working in both community and hospital settings. Non-surgical outpatient ophthalmology is one of the most numerically pressured NHS services. Independent prescribing optometry is in a unique position to assist in coping with this demographically growing demand. Independent prescribing optometrists represent a considerable potential resource whether in the hospital eye service or in the community as the ‘GP’ of the eye. This article describes the pathway to independent prescribing, both professionally and individually.

Our Prisons Punitive or Rehabilitative? An Analysis of Theory and Practice
Authors: Gul Rais
Published: February 2019

This paper identifies the gap between theory and practice in terms of prisoners ‘reintegration/rehabilitation through literature-based research with focus on Pakistan. It suggests that in contrast to international norms, legal codes and theoretical objectives to ensure rehabilitative prison regimes, jails are characterized by myriad problems including overcrowding, torture, understaffing, under-budgeting, lack of basic needs to the prisoners and proper training for staff etc. Besides, obsolete prison rules rooted into the colonial, inefficient criminal justice system and State's indifference towards prisons have aggravated the problems manifold. This research recommends a rehabilitative prison regime and suggests ways to achieve it in a larger framework. The moral and professional integrity of the staff needs to be restored by effective trainings. Programmatic intervention must be based on individual assessments. Observing the prisoners’ rights recognized in international norms, Islamic injunctions and Pakistan's own legal codes along with revisiting colonial prison rules might be helpful.
Airport Privatization in Pakistan
Authors: Batool Irem , Hussain Ghulam , Abid Muhammad
Published: February 2019

The airport infrastructures in Pakistan are ranked very low in comparison to airports around the world. Poor airport facilities hinder the growth of aviation sector and of national economy. In their present conditions, airports fail to attract the passenger and cargo carriers. Therefore, a large number of international passengers and cargo carriers have shifted their operations from Pakistanis to Gulf and Middle East. At the time when aviation sector is growing around the globe, the need for airport infrastructure development is immense. As a result, in many developed and developing countries, the Governments are involving private sector to develop the existing airports and to build new airports. Considering the current economic situation of the Pakistan, the Government is unable to invest heavily to develop world-class airport infrastructure. In order to modernize the airports in the country, the Government of Pakistan should infuse private capital.

Published: February 2019

Abstract. Female workers are one of the important assets in the workplace, but are not always able to work optimally because they prefer cyberloafing activities. This behavior is considered unproductive and has a significant impact on individuals and organizations. Cyberloafing behavior is allegedly due to low self-control. The hypothesis proposed is that there is a negative relationship between self-control and cyberloafing behavior. The method of collecting data uses the scale of self-control and scale of cyberloafing. The results showed that there was a very significant negative relationship between self-control and Cyberloafing behavior. Self-control variables contribute 77.2 percent of Cyberloafing behavior which shows that self-control is an important factor that must be minimized to reduce Cyberloafing behavior in the workplace.Keywords: cyberloafing, self-control, women Abstrak.

Can the Other be Heard? Response to Commentaries on ‘Omphile and his Soccer Ball’
Authors: Ndhlovu Finex
Published: February 2019

I welcome the invitation to a right of reply that Multilingual Margins journal has extended to me; and I thank all nine discussants for sharing their thoughts on my paper ‘Omphile and his soccer ball: Colonialism, methodology, translanguaging research’. Eight of the nine discussants (Kathleen Heugh, Alan Carneiro, Manuel Guissemo, Kanavillil Rajagopalan, Zannie Bock, Lynn Mario T. Mendezes de Sousa, Nana Aba Appiah Amfo, and Torun Reite) provided what I consider to be balanced critiques that highlight both the strengths and weaknesses of the paper. One reader, Don Kulick, did not find anything positive about the paper. Instead, he raised numerable objections that are pitched in a somewhat confrontational tone that is radically at odds with the views proffered by all other discussants. For this reason, I decided to organise my response into three short sections. The first is a rejoinder that builds on and engages those critical points raised by the eight discussants who are overall in concert with each other. In the second section I provide a rebuttal of Don Kulick’s review, which I find to be largely dismissive and bereft of any semblance of collegial engagement with the arguments advanced in the paper. I then close with a short paragraph that reiterates my original invitation to engage in dialectical conversations about how best to carry out social science research projects in ways that are consistent with the quite contemporary anti-colonial, anti-foundational and transformative agenda being pushed by decolonial and other like-minded scholars.
On rough sets induced by fuzzy relations approach in semigroups
Authors: Prasertpong Rukchart , Siripitukdet Manoj
Published: February 2019

In this paper, we introduce a rough set in a universal set based on cores of successor classes with respect to level in a closed unit interval under a fuzzy relation, and some interesting properties are investigated. Based on this point, we propose a rough completely prime ideal in a semigroup structure under a compatible preorder fuzzy relation, including the rough semigroup and rough ideal. Then we provide sufficient conditions for them. Finally, the relationships between rough completely prime ideals (rough semigroups and rough ideals) and their homomorphic images are verified.

Asymptotic boundary conditions for the analysis of hydrodynamic stability of flows in regions with open boundaries
Authors: Boiko Andrey V. , Demyanko Kirill V. , Nechepurenko Yuri M.
Published: February 2019

A new approach to formulation of asymptotic boundary conditions for eigenvalue problems arising in numerical analysis of hydrodynamic stability of such shear flows as boundary layers, separations, jets, wakes, characterized by almost constant velocity of the main flow outside the shear layer or layers is proposed and justified. This approach makes it possible to formulate and solve completely the temporal and spatial stability problems in the locally-parallel approximation, reducing them to ordinary algebraic eigenvalue problems.
A nonlinear Bayesian filtering approach to estimating adaptive market effciency
Authors: Kulikov Gennady Yu. , Taylor David R. , Kulikova Maria V.
Published: February 2019

The adaptive market hypothesis (AMH) supplies a convincing motivation for why market efficiency should not be regarded as a stable property in time. This paper explores a Bayesian methodology for estimating weak-form market efficiency under the AMH using a test of evolving efficiency (TEE). More precisely, a generalized TEE (GTEE) approach is proposed in which the conditional first moment of a time series is assumed to be a nonlinear function of its conditional second moment, i.e., a nonlinear feedback term is present in the conditional mean equation. We then discuss a maximum likelihood estimation procedure for the resulting nonlinear model using the state-space approach and extended Kalman filtering. This methodology is used to estimate time-varying, weak-form market efficiency in four, specifically chosen, markets over a time-period that includes the global financial crisis of 2007/2008.

Published: February 2019

This work aims to improve the adhesive force of epoxy coating with a wood-plastic composite (WPC) surface. First, WPC was formulated using the extrusion technique through different percentages of wood flour (WF) with virgin polyethylene (PE) in the presence of a coupling agent. Dynamic mechanical analysis and water percentage gain (WPG%) were performed to find the optimized WF/PE mixing ratio. The optimized formula was subjected to surface treatment by different methods, including chromic acid oxidation, ultraviolet irradiation, and flame and heat treatment. Then the treated surface of WPC was coated with nano-modified epoxy resin using carboxylated carbon nanotube, organically modified nanoclay (Cloisite-30B), and reactive rubber nanoparticles. The surface treatment of the WPC was characterized with contact angle measurement and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), while the interaction between the WPC and epoxy coat was investigated by attenuated total reflection FTIR microscopy analysis. The adhesion strength of the nano-modified epoxy showed significant enhancement when investigated by pull-off method and cross-cut test. Nano-scratching was utilized in exploring the effect of different surface treatments on enhancing adhesion to epoxy. The interfacial morphological behavior of epoxy coating on the WPC surface was investigated by Scanning Electron Microscope. The results indicated that chemical treatments helped for the functionalization of the WPC surface, leading to stronger adhesion with epoxy. These epoxy-coated WPC composites recorded enhanced mechanical properties because of the chemical reaction between the WPC surface and epoxy.
Statistical Analysis of Fly Ash Sampling Frequency
Authors: Spencer William Cole , Diaz Loya Eleazar I. , Joshi Anupam , Minkara Rafic
Published: February 2019

Fly ash is a byproduct of the combustion of pulverized coal, which has found an application as a supplementary cementitious material that offers several benefits such as improved workability, durability, and improved long-term strength to concrete. The requirements for sampling frequency of this material are laid out in ASTM C311, Standard Test Methods for Sampling and Testing Fly Ash or Natural Pozzolans for Use in Portland-Cement Concrete. The article analyzes the composite sampling frequency and provides insight into how changing it would affect the ability to capture changes in fly ash properties. The analysis is based on data collected using the current composite sampling requirements during the calendar year of 2016 from four power plants located in the United States. Fly ash properties included in the analysis are the sum of silica, alumina, iron oxide content, sulfur trioxide content, loss on ignition (LOI), fineness, and the strength activity index at 7-days and 28-days. The statistical analysis shows that reducing the composite sampling frequency to monthly, instead of every 2,900 Mg (3,200 tons), would not affect the ability to properly identify the properties of fly ash. This conclusion is supported by the observation that the parameters show small variability throughout the year and that those dependent on plant operational changes (such as fineness and LOI) are monitored on site at an even higher frequency, daily or every 360 Mg (400 tons).
A comparison of follow-up rates of women with gestational diabetes before and after the updated National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance advocating routine follow-up, and the association with neighbourhood deprivation
Authors: Walsh Sebastian , Mahmoud Mahmoud , Htun Htwe , Hodgett Sheena , Barton David
Published: February 2019

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) occurs in one in every 23 UK pregnancies. GDM identifies the mother as high-risk for development of type 2 diabetes. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published updated guidance in February 2015 recommending routine follow-up of women with GDM.Aims: This cohort study compared follow-up rates of women with GDM before and after the updated guidance. We also investigated for an association between follow-up rates and deprivation.Methods: Participants were identified from the database of the GDM service of two English hospitals and were organised into two cohorts: ‘pre-guidance’ (2012–2015) and ‘post-guidance’ (2015–2016). Using the recommendations of the NICE guidance as the follow-up standard, we used the hospitals’ computer system to compare follow-up rates of the two cohorts. The English Indices of Deprivation split the country into 32,844 small areas and rank them in order of deprivation such that 1 is the most deprived area and 32,844 is the least deprived. We compared the patients’ postcodes against the English Indices of Deprivation to investigate the relative levels of neighbourhood deprivation of those followed up compared with those not followed up. The Z statistic was used to test for statistical significance.Results: 535 participants were included (pre-guidance n=306, post-guidance n=229). Baseline average age (pre-guidance 32.2 years, post-guidance 32.5 years), body mass index (30.7 kg/m2, 30.9 kg/m2) and fasting glucose (4.9 mmol/L, 4.8 mmol/L) were all comparable between cohorts. The follow-up rate improved from 60.5% in the pre-guidance group to 69.9% in the post-guidance group. The median deprivation rank of those followed up was 14,565 compared with 13,393 in those not followed up. This difference was not found to be significant.Conclusion: A higher proportion of women with GDM were followed up with screening for type 2 diabetes after the updated NICE guidance in 2015 recommended routine follow-up. Across the study, over a third of women were not followed up. There was no statistically significant difference in the deprivation levels of those women followed up compared with those not followed up.

The purpose of this research is to know and analyze about the comparative effectiveness of monetary policy transmission by interest rate channel and exchange rate channel in influencing inflation in Indonesia. Data used in this research is quarterly time series data from year 2005Q3 until 2017Q1. The variables used in this research are SBI interest rate, interbank call money interest rate, deposit interest rate, loan interest rate, investment, interest rate differential, capital inflow, exchange rate, net export and output gap. Data used in this research sourced by Bank Indonesia, Badan Pusat Statistik, and International Monetary Fund. The method used in this research is Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The results of this research showed that in the long-term and the short-term in interest rate channel, interbank call money interest rate variables had a significant effect on inflation. Then the results of impulse response function test showed that the mechanism of monetary policy transmission requires outside lag to be able to influence inflation and indicate that the monetary policy transmission through interest rate in influencing the ultimate goal of inflation is more effective than exchange rate.  In addition, variance decomposition results concluded that the rate of interbank call money interest rate variant is appropriately used as an operational target of monetary policy transmission for implementation in influencing inflation.
