IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF IMPREGNATION OF BIRCH WOOD IN THE PRODUCTION OF SLEEPERS
Authors: Snegireva Svetlana , Platonov Aleksey , Parinov Dmitriy , Medvedev Ilya , Kiseleva Aleksandra
Published: January 2020

Wood is widely used for the production of sleepers in Russia. Sleepers made of natural wood have the disadvantage – short service life. It is possible to increase the service life of wooden sleepers using pressed (modified) wood for their manufacture. Wood pressing is one of the most promising areas for improving its physical and mechanical properties. Pressed wood, in its turn, has a drawback – the ability to significantly change size and shape when humidity changes, as well as low biological resistance. The solution to this problem is to impregnate wood with an antiseptic solution with a stabilizer. The durability of pressed wood products largely depends on the quality of its impregnation and the amount of absorbed solution by the surface layer. The most simple and effective method (among the known for impregnation in the manufacture of railway sleepers) is impregnation of wood in hot-cold baths. In the work, the efficiency of wood impregnation by the method of hot-cold baths has been studied taking into account various conditions of exposure to a cold solution. The first option is to quickly replace a hot solution with a cold one. The second is the impregnation of wood during the natural cooling of hot solution. It was found that the depth of wood impregnation during gradual cooling of wood in a hot solution is 2.5 times less than the depth of impregnation during cooling in a cold solution, both in the longitudinal and transverse directions. The amount of solution absorbed by wood when impregnated by the hot-cold bath method with the gradual cooling of hot impregnating solution is 16% less than when cooling in a cold impregnating solution. Hot-cold bath method with cooling in a cold solution can be recommended for the manufacture of sleepers from modified wood

Factors to analyse strength of mineral infilled rock mass discontinuities
Authors: Bustos N. , Van Sint Jan M. , Seguel J. , Cavieres P.
Published: January 2020

In primary rock mass, with high intact strength and a small or null presence of open discontinuities, the rock mass strength depends on the volumetric distribution and mechanical properties of veinlets filled with different minerals. Vein properties can be used to obtain an index for rock mass characterization and classification into geotechnical domains, or they may be used directly in wedge analysis or in complex numerical models. A mineralized vein presents shear and tensile strength. These properties were measured, and the scale effect was approached by using 150 mm diameter samples for direct shear and indirect tensile tests. Vein properties were also obtained from triaxial compression tests in 48mm diameter samples. The test methods used are analyzed and the values of the mechanical properties of veinlets per mineralogy are given

The quality of wash water at various stages of washing the fabric after dyeing was studied by such indicators as the color intensity by dilution rate, COD, permanganate index, foaming capacity and pH. Experimental data are presented that prove the possibility of using ozone for the purification of the wash water mixture from the last six fabric washings after dyeing to the requirements to the quality of water supplied to the dye-finishing processes. An approximate economic calculation has been performed that proves a high economic effect of establishing the reuse of wash water regenerated with ozone for washing fabric after dyeing.
L2 reading and vocabulary development after a short Study Abroad experience
Authors: Borràs Judith , Llanes Àngels
Published: January 2020

This study explores the development of L2 reading and vocabulary as a result of a short (3-week) SA experience. Given the growing literature on Study Abroad (SA) research, this investigation attempts to shed some light on two rather under-researched areas such as L2 reading and vocabulary, and it does so with a group of adolescents (n= 52), a population often neglected by the SA research despite being one of the most common participants in SA programmes. The participants, Spanish learners of English (L2), were administered a placement test to determine their initial L2 level, a reading text (from which fluency and comprehension were calculated), the Updated Vocabulary Level Test to measure their receptive vocabulary knowledge, and a written essay to capture their productive vocabulary development in terms of lexical accuracy, fluency, density and sophistication. The results indicate that short SA experiences are positive for both reading fluency and comprehension as well as for receptive vocabulary development. Findings are not so positive in terms of productive vocabulary skills. Finally, results failed to show a direct relationship between gains in reading, and initial proficiency and vocabulary level.
Developing interactional repertoires in the classroom through dynamic strategic interactio scenarios
Authors: A. van Compernolle Rémi , Ballesteros Soria Nuria
Published: January 2020

In this article, we report on the implementation of Dynamic Strategic Interaction Scenario tasks as one approach to developing L2 learners’ interactional repertoires. The tasks involve pre-task planning, a performance, and immediate feedback during a whole-class debriefing discussion. We focus specifically on the appropriation of turn allocation devices within a single class meeting in which three small groups performed the same scenario. We show how the first group’s performance prompted a focus on turn allocation during their debriefing, and how the subsequent groups were able to build on the feedback in their own performances. We discuss our findings and their implications for research and pedagogy along three dimensions: 1) the role of feedback as mediation in the debriefing discussions; 2) the contribution of task repetition from a group-as-collective perspective; and 3) the documentation of interactional repertoire development over time.

Version control systems are employed for change management on the existing code base during development phase and maintenance phase. The changes may or may not affect the existing ones. If the changes affect the existing code they may lead to errors (compile time and run time) or instability of the system. Version control systems employ various strategies to cater the needs of various scenarios but it leads to delays. The agility of the system depends on the updating mechanism and the strategy it deploys while handling multiple users and dependent modules at the similar time. The capability to handle changes by version control systems depends upon the strategy to organize the current modules, update them and serve them to no of users parallely. The objective is to propose a system that is found to be an enhanced version of the current system.

Most chemical reactors, representing Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) systems, are highly nonlinear and require complex control than single-input single-output (SISO) systems. In the present work, the system is linearized around different operating points. As linear design strategies are intended to work in linear regions, they are employed to evaluate local controller parameters. Decentralized controllers using constant detuning factor and decoupling controllers using static decouplers are designed. A gain scheduler is developed to deal with changes in operating conditions. The performances are evaluated by simulating the nonlinear equations of the system. Decentralized controllers cannot mitigate the interactions due to its structure possessing single loop. It is exhibited that the decoupling controllers offer better control for tracking of desired set point and rejection of load disturbances than those of decentralized controllers. The superiority of the suggested controller has been portrayed by performing simulation study on a Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR).

The debate about NGO credibility has become more forceful and flashing in recent years.On one side there are prominent scholars who accredit the NGOs with 'social skill' and potential to make the development more humane and delivering. At the other extreme there are scholars who maintain that NGOs do not qualify the 'distinction of their own claims'. The findings of the investigating agencies in some Third World nations have unearthed the ‘secret agenda’ and unholy alliances of the foreign funded NGOs. Such contentions call for micro level analysis of NGO credibility, particularly, in the context of sustainable development. The present study is a scientific attempt in this direction. The authors have adopted an explorative-cum analytical study design with the tools of content analysis of the 'media portrayals' of the NGOs and field observation for a holistic analysis. The findings of the study underline the need for adoption of innovative technology by the NGOs for refreshing their public legitimacy in the changed socio-economic setting.

On the Identification of Noise Covariances and Adaptive Kalman Filtering: A New Look at a 50 Year-old Problem
Authors: Zhang Lingyi , Sidoti David , Bienkowski Adam , Pattipati Krishna , Bar-Shalom Yaakov , Kleinman David
Published: January 2020

The Kalman filter requires knowledge of the noise statistics; however, the noise covariances are generally unknown. Although this problem has a long history, reliable algorithms for their estimation are scant, and necessary and sufficient conditions for identifiability of the covariances are in dispute. We address both of these issues in this paper. We first present the necessary and sufficient condition for unknown noise covariance estimation; these conditions are related to the rank of a matrix involving the auto and cross-covariances of a weighted sum of innovations, where the weights are the coefficients of the minimal polynomial of the closed-loop system transition matrix of a stable, but not necessarily optimal, Kalman filter. We present an optimization criterion and a novel six-step approach based on a successive approximation, coupled with a gradient algorithm with adaptive step sizes, to estimate the steady-state Kalman filter gain, the unknown noise covariance matrices, as well as the state prediction (and updated) error covariance matrix. Our approach enforces the structural assumptions on unknown noise covariances and ensures symmetry and positive definiteness of the estimated covariance matrices. We provide several approaches to estimate the unknown measurement noise covariance R via post-fit residuals, an approach not yet exploited in the literature. The validation of the proposed method on five different test cases from the literature demonstrates that the proposed method significantly outperforms previous state-of-the-art methods. It also offers a number of novel machine learning motivated approaches, such as sequential (one sample at a time) and mini-batch-based methods, to speed up the computations.
Skin disinfection practice before skin anaesthesia, prior to neuraxial blockade: a survey of government hospital practices in South Africa
Authors: Coetzee DF , Senekal A , Scheepers PA
Published: January 2020

Background: Infectious complications following neuraxial block, although being of low incidence, may lead to morbidity and mortality. Two common methods utilised for skin disinfection before skin anaesthesia prior to a neuraxial block are the isopropanol only method (isopropanol method) and the full aseptic technique (classic method). The objective of this study was to survey government-employed South African anaesthesiologists’ preference regarding the disinfection practices before the administration of local anaesthetic agents to the skin prior to the performance of a neuraxial block.

Methods: Ethics approval was obtained prior to commencing the study. An electronic, web-based questionnaire in the form of a survey was distributed to various anaesthetic departments in various government teaching hospitals in South Africa. Descriptive statistics were used on the raw data using the Fisher exact test to measure associations between the different categorical variables.

Results: A significant response rate of 60.3% was achieved. Regarding subarachnoid blocks, more than half of the participants (52.0%) that participated in the survey utilise the isopropanol method whereas less than half of the participants utilise the isopropanol method when performing an epidural block. Close to 75% of participants with zero to five years anaesthetic experience prefer the isopropanol method whilst only 20.9% of anaesthetists with more than ten years’ experience prefer the isopropanol method when performing a subarachnoid block (p < 0.01).

Conclusion: Both methods described in this study (classic and isopropanol methods) are practised commonly by the participants in the survey and neither the classic nor the isopropanol method dominates. Local guidelines need to address the technique used to disinfect the skin before the administration of the local anaesthetic agent to the skin prior to performing a neuraxial block.

Manajemen pemerintahan sebagaimana tuntutan keberadaannya dan tuntutan Undang-undang tentang Pemerintahan Daerah, seyogyanya berubah sejalan dengan tuntutan globalisasi, pola-pola manajemen tradisional feodal diganti dengan pola modern yang demokratis. Hal itu paling tidak karena manajemen pemerintahan tidak dapat dilepaskan dari kepolitikan global, kepentingan nasional dan tentunya kepentingan regional serta kepentingan lokal. Pemahaman ini perlu ditekankan bagi manajemen pemerintahan di Daerah karena era global berarti pasar global, ekonomi global dan nilai-nilai global.

Dalam perkembangannya muncul pendapat bahwa pemerintah seharusnya berubah mengikuti perubahan ekonomi yang ada dan menjadikan pemerintahan yang memiliki kemampuan entrepreneur, sehingga gerak ekonomi dapat diikuti oleh pemerintah dan menyarankan agar pemerintah menerapkan sepuluh prinsip pemerintahan wirausaha (Osborne dan Gaebler 1992, juga Guillart dan Kelly, 1995). Selanjutnya Osborne dan Plastrik (1996) mengemukakan lima strategi (5 C�s Strategy) sebagai implementasi lebih lanjut dari prinsip ?reinventing government? yang diajukan Osborne dan Gaebler.

Oleh karena itu, demokratisasi manajemen pemerintahan di Daerah merupakan faktor yang menentukan untuk keberlangsungan otonomi, sehingga partisipasi efektif dari seluruh lapisan masyarakat dapat berlangsung tanpa perbedaan prinsip satu dengan lainnya. Terselenggaranya manajemen pemerintahan yang demokratis menunjukkan bahwa elit politik pemerintahan memahami dan memiliki kemampuan untuk melaksanakan nilai-nilai demokrasi sebagaimana adanya, baik pada tataran kebijakan, tataran implementasi maupun pada tataran kultural yang mensyaratkan adanya mekanisme check and balances (saling kontrol dan saling mengimbangi) antara pemerintah dengan yang diperintah

Tahun 2018 jumlah BUM Desa mencapai 35 ribu dari 74.910 desa di Nusantara. Sebagian besar BUM Desa masih sebatas terbentuk dan belum memiliki aktivitas usaha yang menjanjikan. Kini, BUM Desa dihadapkan pada realitas revolusi industri 4.0. yang mengubah mindset berinteraksi satu sama lain. Revolusi industri 4.0 membuka peluang bagi desa untuk mengakses dan mempromosikan Prudes dan Prukades ke ranah yang lebih luas. Era ini mempermudah koneksi antara pasar tradisional dengan pasar global lewat e-commerce. Desa-desa dengan potensi yang sama dapat membangun lembaga BUM Desa Bersama untuk mengakomodasi potensi desa menjadi satu kesatuan kekuatan ekonomi. BUM Desa Bersama menjadi jembatan guna mengintegrasikan potensi, kebutuhan pasar, dan penyusunan perencanaan yang kompetitif dan berdaya saing.

In the colophon, it was stated that the initiator was B.P.H Jayakusuma, the son of the Sultan Sepuh (HB II). Pages 1—11 were copied on Wednesday Wage, 1 Sura, Alip 1835 (March 8, 1905) whereas page 12 onwards written in older model, estimated to be copied around the middle to late 19th century. What's interesting about this manuscript is the presence of the rubric inside. The rubric contained in Sěrat Rama manuscript is a type of decorative rubric. There is a form of rubric accompanied by writing and there is also a rubric which is only a picture of flowers. Based on the location, rubrication divided into two, there are in the margins of the manuscript pages and between the text. Each type of rubrication also has its own function and meaning. Therefore, this study aims to describe the types, functions, and meanings of the rubrics contained in the Sěrat Rama script. To analyze the meaning, Charles Sanders Pierce's semiotic approach is used. Thedescriptive analytic is used as the research method. The expected results of this study are in the form of a description of the types of rubrication, function, and their meaning. Knowing the meaning of the rubric contained in Sěrat Rama's text will make it easier to understand the contents of the story.
El papel del artista como gestor en el escenario de lo público
Authors: Correa Eduardo
Published: January 2020

La gestión Pública en la que se interviene y se problematiza tanto como artista como gestor independiente o estatal, debe construirse desde el acuerdo entre los actores que lo ocupan y la diversidad de sus intereses. La gestión impuesta, transferida, sólo puede obtener resultados coyunturales porque no proyecta ni estimula la intervención ciudadana. Un gestor-artista debe potenciar las posibilidades que el territorio le ofrece. Para reflexionar y producir su obra tanto como para anclar su labor desde la integración e inclusión al espacio público, con lo que implica transitarlo. Legislación o regulación no deben ser términos que se excluyan de la legitimidad de un recorrido.
In vivo and ex vivo imaging of nociceptor expression and activity
Authors: MULIER Marie , VRIENS Joris , VOETS Thomas

Our ability to perceive nociceptive pain is crucial to respond to harmful stimuli: it warns us about noxiously hot or cold objects. Sensory nerve endings that respond to pain (nociceptors) initiate an electrical signal in the periphery and transport it to the dorsal horn and eventually to higher brain centers. The detection of noxious stimuli involves the expression of nociceptive ion channels in sensory nerve endings, such as transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. Recently we found that the acute response to noxious heat relies on the functional expression of TRPV1, TRPM3 and TRPA1 in sensory nerve endings. Calcium imaging on isolated dorsal root ganglia (DRG) is a widely accepted model to study the involvement of TRP channels in acute pain responses. However, DRGs are clusters of nerve cell bodies, present in the dorsal root of spinal nerves, far away from the skin where the physiological stimulus detection take place. We use two different optical measurement protocols to study ion channel activity in sensory neurons: an in vivo-protocol to image DRGs and an in tissue-protocol to visualize intact skin measurements. A cre-dependent GCaMP3 mouse line is used. These mice express the genetically encoded calcium indicator GCaMP3 in specific somatosensory neurons. Using this technique, we study the role of TRP channels in different pain models, such as inflammation. 
Cerebral ischemia models in rats
Authors: ATAİZİ Zeki Serdar
Published: January 2020

Stroke is the second cause of death worldwide. Stroke induces cerebral ischemia. The cerebral ischemia is a neurodegenerative disease that causes disability and mortality. An accumulating body of evidence indicates that abnormalities of Ca2+ homeostasis are caused by excessive levels of free oxygen radicals in rats with cerebral ischemia. Occlusion of middle cerebral artery in human induces cerebral ischemic stroke. In experimental animals, best model of induction of cerebral ischemic stroke is occlusion of middle cerebral artery for 30 min (Canazza et al. 2014). In cerebral ischemia stoke model, right or left middle cerebral artery is exposed through a ventral midline incision in the neck and it is loosely encircled with sutures for further occlusion. Following a midline incision, the skull is craniectomized to expose the right or left common carotid artery. A 3-0 suture is positioned so that it encircled the middle cerebral artery for further occlusion. Cerebral ischemic surgery is performed through occlusion of the right or left middle cerebral artery for 30 min (Akpınar et al. 2016). In addition to the best model, there are also other models of cerebral stroke in rodents such as the intra-luminal suture, thromboembolic, the coagulation or ligation, the endothelin-1, and the distal artery compression models (Canazza et al. 2014). In the presentation, a selection of the principal models is described and the model was compared with the other models.
Involvement of TRP channels on fibromyalgiainduced pain
Authors: DOĞRU Atalay
Published: January 2020

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a common chronic pain syndrome affecting up to 2% of the adult population.Several factors such as excessive oxidative stress and overload calcium ion (Ca2+) influx play main roles in the etiology of FM. Several pharmaceutical drugs such as antidepressants and voltage-gated calcium channel blockers are recommended for the treatment of FM; however, they fail to produce a satisfactory response in patients with FM because of the unclear etiology of the disease. Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels have six subfamilies and 27 members in human. Most of these channels are responsible in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons for the Ca2+ permeation especially in neuronal cells. Expression level of the TRPM2 and TRPV1 channels are high in the DRG neurons and they show oxidative stress dependent activation (Tan and McNaughton 2016; Santos et al. 2018). The TRPM2 and TRPV1 channel expression levels in the DRG increased in different types of pain. Selenium as an antioxidant trace element is implicated as a neuroprotective agent in peripheral pain through the inhibition of apoptosis and regulation of the TRPM2 and TRPV1 channels (Kahya et al. 2017). Since a decade, a recent theory have argued that both supporting of intracellular antioxidant system and extracellular antioxidant administration may helpful in fibromyalgia for the inhibition of TRP channels mediated Ca2+ influx (Yüksel et al. 2017). In the oral presentation, I discussed novel effects of selenium on the treatment of irregular oxidative status and fibromyalgia by the regulation of TRPM2 and TRPV1 channels in rats. In conclusion, present literature information indicated that protective effects of selenium on TRPM2 and TRPV1 channels may novel approach to treat FM induced pain and mitochondrial oxidative stress. However, the subject should be clarified by further studies.
