Religions de l’Iran ancien : études zoroastriennes
Authors: Azarnouche Samra
Published: May 2020

Poursuivant les travaux menés lors des conférences précédentes sur le principal récit de cosmogonie et de cosmologie du zoroastrisme, le traité moyen-perse du Bundahišn, la conférence de cette année a été consacrée à la lecture et l’analyse des chapitres 14 à 23. Ils décrivent les entités bonnes et mauvaises peuplant le monde, en tentant d’établir une hiérarchie et une classification au sein de chaque espèce : les humains, les animaux, les plantes, les feux, des entités immatérielles telles que le sommeil et le son, les deux catégories de créatures nuisibles (la vermine et les « loups »). Un chapitre important est également dédié au grand mythe de la production de la pluie.
Formation des doctrines juridiques et du rituel en islam(du viie au xve siècle)

Published: May 2020

Au cours de cette année, nous avons poursuivi l’examen de la casuistique du jeûne de ramaḍān. Nous avions montré au cours des années précédentes que la principale préoccupation des juristes était de définir les conditions de validité du jeûne. C’est pour cela qu’ils ont été amenés à envisager toutes sortes de cas de rupture du jeûne : erreur, oubli, maladresse, mauvaise information.
Théologies thébaines tardives : le temple de Deir Chelouit (suite)
Authors: Zivie-Coche Christiane
Published: May 2020

Nous avons poursuivi la traduction et le commentaire des textes du temple de Deir Chelouit, temple d’Isis et Montou, décoré au ier et iie siècles de notre ère, sur la rive gauche thébaine entre Medinet Habou et Ermant. Deux processions mixtes, associant des génies économiques et des personnifications de l’inondation occupent le soubassement des parois du naos. Sur les montants extérieurs de la porte du naos ont été gravés deux longs hymnes à Isis, à la fois sous son aspect de déesse universelle et de divinité locale, rattachée à la théologie thébaine de la butte de Djemê et à celle d’Ermant. La paroi extérieure du naos gravée sous le règne d’Antonin, quoique inachevée, présente en raccourci les éléments fondamentaux de la théologie du temple, soit le rôle d’Isis associée à Osiris et au dieu fils sous sa forme d’Harsiésis et celui de Montou d’Ermant en contrepoint de la déesse.
Investigating the Effect of Low Speed Impact on Sandwich Panel with Metal Foam Core (Comparing the Results of MATLAB and Abacus Analysis)
Authors: Nai Hamed Farhadi
Published: May 2020

In this paper, analytical modeling and numerical simulation of sandwich panel behavior with metal foam
core under low impact impact are presented and how the formation and development of impact defects in
impact loading conditions in three samples with different face sizes Taken, checked. Multi-layer sandwich
panels are made of epoxy carbon and the core is also made of metal foam. Analytical modeling of low speed
shock load on sandwich panels, using mass model and two-degree free spring, has been used to calculate
the contact force. The spring stiffness of the contact site, and the bending and shear spring stiffness of the
sandwich panel are calculated, the values of which change over time. To solve the equations of motion, the
exact solution method has been used and the radius of the affected area is calculated using energy
equations. In the next section, simulation of low speed impact on sandwich panels with metal foam core is
done in three samples of different sizes in Abacus software, so that we see how to create and develop defects
in sandwich panels. In the next section, we have examined the results and compared the numerical solution
and analytical simulation, which confirms the process of research and this has been proven to be important.
The Possible Bodies Inventory: dis-orientation and its aftermath
Authors: Rocha Jara , Snelting Femke
Published: May 2020

Following Sara Ahmed’s invitation “to think how queer politics might involve disorientation, without legislating disorientation as a politics”, the collective enquiry Possible Bodies research team inventoried three items related to 3D artifacts, following through the implications of the contemporary renderings of “dis-orientation”they invoke. Each in their own way, the items relate to a world that is becoming oblique, where inside and outside, up and down are switching places and where new perspectives become available.  They speak of the mutual constitution of technology and bodies, of matter and semiotics, of nature and culture andhow orientation and the subjectivities that emerge from it are managed across the technocolonial matrix of representation in turbo-capitalism. The three items allow for a look at tools that represent, track and model “bodies” through diverse cultural means of abstraction, and eventually convoke their aftermath in a call for “disobedient action-research”.
Prácticas digitales críticas sobre las tecnologías de control de los sujetos en la primera década del siglo XXI
Authors: G. Díaz Paloma
Published: May 2020

La producción capitalista y la globalización actual se han instaurado en todos los ámbitos de la acción humana. La crítica desde el punto de vista de la creación cultural, el diseño o el arte no sale de los parámetros consumistas establecidos, como apunta Fredric Jameson en sus textos. La estructura socioeconómica ha determinado la generación de piezas artísticas digitales que reflejan un interés creciente por las investigaciones relacionadas con las nuevas tecnologías y los medios de comunicación de masas, pero que han adoptado una postura crítica de alto nivel sobre el posicionamiento real de ciertos avances científicos y/o tecnológicos que supuestamente iban a ofrecer ventajas generalizadas a nuestros cuerpos «obsoletos».

En ellas se cuestionan, entre otras cosas, si realmente la relación actual entre el potencial del saber y el sentir y la tecnología es bidireccional o si lo que está surgiendo son fronteras insoslayables entre el ser humano y el control tecnificado.
El pasaje oscuro. Imágenes técnicas e imágenes tradicionales en Vilém Flusser
Authors: Coderch Lua
Published: May 2020

Vilém Flusser propone, en El universo de las imágenes técnicas, que no tiene sentido tratar de descifrar las imágenes en términos de «verdad» o «falsedad», sino que hay que hacerlo en términos de «probabilidad» o «improbabilidad», en función de si tales imágenes aparecen como «informativas» o bien como «redundantes», distinción que, como indica, tiene una dimensión ética y estética. Para producir imágenes nuevas, informativas y no redundantes, el productor de imágenes (técnicas) debe trabajar contra la automaticidad que instauran los programas, lo cual sucede en el pasaje oscuro del aparato programado ad hoc , y así obligar al aparato a producir imágenes poco probables.

Este mismo argumento, que Flusser emplea para restituir al productor de imágenes la posibilidad de su libertad, permite también poner en crisis la distinción radical que hace el propio Flusser entre las imágenes tradicionales —ya sea dibujo, pintura, etcétera— y las imágenes técnicas —las que precisan de la mediación de los aparatos, las programadas ad hoc por el aparato que las produce— y reconocer en ambos casos la posibilidad de ese margen de maniobra.

Learning to survive: Wicked problem education for the Anthropocene age
Authors: Keenan William J. F.
Published: May 2020

This article addresses major lacunae in higher education from the standpoint of Anthropocenic survival. Wicked problems transcend national, cultural and disciplinary boundaries. Eco-survival, international migration, destabilized global markets, shifts in the balance of strategic power, population pressures, cultural imperialism, post-secular quests for meaning-in-life, ambivalence of bio-scientific progress, to name a selection, are global. The case is put that features of a postmodern orientation to the academic curriculum—transdisciplinarity, transnationalism, wicked problem engagement—are better equipped to meet the fuzzy knowledge interests of tomorrow’s world than traditional mono-disciplinary curricula. However, both subject-based and transdisciplinary approaches can coexist with profit in the education of tomorrow’s global citizens. A paradigm shift in how we educate for survival is proposed here.
Efficacy of an adventure therapy program for brain injury survivors and caregivers
Authors: Newman, CTRS James , Newstadt Elizabeth
Published: May 2020

The Adventure Therapy Program for Traumatic Brain Injury Survivors and Caregivers at Radford University is a recreation therapy program that uses adventure-based activities to decrease the stress, approach, and understanding of the traumatic brain injury survivor and caregiver relationship and individual experiences. There is empirical support for the use of inclusive outdoor recreation programs, in bringing about positive social behavior changes. The specific benefits reported in this area are as follows: increased group cooperation, increased individual and group socialization, reduction of maladaptive behaviors, increased acceptance and quality of life for individuals with disabilities, and increased social adjustment and inclusion. These benefits coincide with the needs of the study population, and the results of this study suggest that further development in this area have potential for increasing the success of community transitions.
Gerontological Society of America 2009 conference briefs: Alternative and complementary therapies for healthy aging
Authors: Richeson, PhD, CTRS Nancy E. , Buettner, PhD, LRT, CTRS Linda L. , Rose, PhD, RN Karen M. , Burgener, PhD, GNP-BC, FAAN Sandy
Published: May 2020

The purpose of this article is to share the findings from the Alternative and Complementary Therapies for Healthy Aging panel that recently disseminated their research at the annual Gerontological Society of American Conference, November 18-22, 2009, in Atlanta, GA. The interdisciplinary panel examined the influence of alternative and complementary therapies for healthy aging. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine1 (NCCAM) reports that 38 percent of adults in the United States utilize complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). CAMs offer an alternative or adjunct therapy that has lower risk of adverse side effects and offer a new perspective: healing the patient rather than simply treating them. Quality of life must be considered; more medications and medical interventions do not always equally increase the quality of life. The interventions presented promote a holistic approach (mind, body, and spirit) to wellness.

Authors: Alsobrooks, MS, LRT, CTRS Amber K. , Owen, MA Jean , Groff, EdD, LRT Diane , Battaglini, PhD Claudio L. , Evans, MA Elizabeth , Brustad, PhD Robert
Published: May 2020

This article examines the feasibility and effectiveness of delivering a community-based health education workshop to promote positive health behaviors for breast cancer survivors in a predominately rural 13-county region in North Carolina. Curriculum was based on an existing 20-week center-based exercise and recreation therapy program for breast cancer survivors, and it relied on interagency cooperation for promotion and delivery of the intervention. Evaluation of success was based on attendance, ability of participants to demonstrate appropriate health behaviors, and self-reported changes in health behaviors. Challenges and strategies related to partnering with community agencies and generating attendance are discussed. The authors contend that a community-based workshop supported by multiple agencies can be effective in enhancing health-related knowledge and behaviors for breast cancer survivors.

A strengths-based approach to play in children with autism
Authors: Smith, MS Rachel L. , Van Puymbroeck, PhD, CTRS Marieke
Published: May 2020

Children with autism often experience difficulties with play. The focus of previous research has described how the play of children with autism is deviant from the play of typically developing peers. There has been little attention paid to understanding why children with autism play the way they do, and the innate strengths that exist within the play experience of children with autism. The purpose of this theoretical piece is to provide a framework for exploring the play of children with autism from a strengths-based recovery model perspective. Implications for recreational therapists and other professionals are discussed, and considerations for future research directions are suggested.
The effects of student home visits on activity engagement in persons with Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders
Authors: Braddock, PhD Barbara A. , Phipps, CTRS Ellen
Published: May 2020

Purpose: To examine the effects of activity setup and student home visits on level of engagement in participants with Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders (ADRD) and on caregivers’ stress and confidence.Method: Participants in the Intervention group (N = 16) were matched to those in the Comparison group (N = 16). Participants and caregivers in the Intervention group received intervention over 8 weeks, whereas the Comparison group received activity selection and setup only.Results: Activity setup and cognitive aids promoted high levels of physical and verbal engagement in both groups. Persons with relatively less cognitive impairment were significantly more likely to engage in activity with adaptation and setup only. Compared with caregivers who did not receive student visits, caregivers with student support reported significant reductions in burden.Conclusions: Activity setup and student home visits may be most beneficial to the caregiver to reduce stress while sustaining home activity for the individual with ADRD.
The preliminary effects of a recreation-based military family camp on family functioning
Authors: Hawkins, PhD, CTRS Brent L. , Townsend, PhD, CTRS Jasmine A. , Heath, MS, CTRS Sandra E. , Lipton, CTRS Kate
Published: May 2020

Recreation-based programing has emerged as a therapeutic service for military families to readjust and improve family functioning after military deployments. This mixed methods study attempted to understand the changes in family functioning during and after a recreation-based therapeutic camp for military families. Pre-post-follow up survey data were collected from families who attended the camp. Results indicated no statistically significant changes in the family functioning across time points; however, qualitative data indicated the camp provided a unique environment to foster other elements of family functioning not measured (eg, family interactions, between family connections). Intentionally creating opportunities for military families to recreate at camp may help facilitate meaningful connections; however, more targeted programing efforts based on assessed, individualized family goals may elicit stronger family functioning outcomes.

Launching successful beginnings for early career faculty: Ten tips for new professors of recreational therapy
Authors: McCormick, PhD, CTRS, FDRT, FALS Bryan P. , Austin, PhD, FDRT, FALS David R.
Published: May 2020

A number of previous authors have identified concerns about a shortage of future PhD graduates to assume recreational therapy (RT) faculty positions to educate future recreational therapists and contribute to the profession’s body of knowledge. While some recreational therapists have decided to pursue their terminal degrees and assume faculty positions, there is relatively little information to guide those transitioning from graduate student to new faculty member. Drawing upon the experiences of senior faculty reported in the literature as well as our own experiences, this article presents a series of tips to help those recreational therapists transitioning from practice to strategically navigate the beginning of new faculty careers. These tips cover careers across the spectrum of types of institutions of higher education.
Location and analysis of emergency point of distributions (PODs) under hurricane Harvey flood conditions using POD locator
Authors: Chung, PhD Christopher A.
Published: May 2020

In 2010 and 2017, respectively, the manuscripts Location and Analysis of Emergency Management Point of Distributions (PODS) for Hurricane Ike and Use of Geographical Information System Data For Emergency Management Points of Distribution Analysis With POD Locator 2.0 were published in the Journal of Emergency Management. These manuscripts described the use of the University of Houston POD Locator software to determine the location of Points of Distribution under emergency conditions. This software achieved a 46 percent improvement in POD locations in comparison to those actually selected during the event. However, a limitation of those research efforts was the absence of the potential effects of flood waters as experienced in the Houston Harris County area during Hurricane Harvey in 2017. This research effort focuses on the effects of flood water in determining the location of different PODs under these conditions in comparison to the PODs identified by Hurricane Harvey. The results indicate a statistically significant difference at an alpha level of 0.05 between using and not using flood data when determining the location of PODs. The use of flood data also yielded a 46.5 percent in travel distance reduction over the actual 26 POD locations chosen in Ike.

Authors: Covitz, BS, MA, NRP Jeffrey A. , Richter, PhD Anke , MacKinnon, PhD Douglas J.
Published: May 2020

Introduction: Thirty-three separate local emergency medical services (EMS) authority agencies serve the 58 counties in California. Each local emergency medical services agency dictates widely different treatment and transport protocols for its paramedics. Although previous research has established the problem of geographic EMS disparities, nothing definitively explains their cause.Methods: We analyze California’s most recently available EMS performance-measure data to determine if there is still disparity in EMS patient care and patient outcomes in California. If there is a disparity, we determine whether the differences are accounted for by socioeconomic factors, geographical differences, or population size, by combining California EMS data with other state and county level data. If none of these factors are significantly correlated, this supports the hypothesis that something different, such as system structure, could be a potential cause of California’s EMS disparities. As a secondary analysis, we attempt to replicate these types of analyses at national and international levels, which could potentially permit a structural comparison as well.Results: There is still disparity in EMS patient care and patient outcomes in California. Regression analyses did not identify a single factor to explain the disparity in performance measures. Most notably, the regression found that basic socioeconomic factors and geographical differences frequently speculated as common drivers for disparity of services, including median income, population density, and availability of specialty care facilities, did not account for the disparity in services.Conclusions: Unfortunately, the striking lack of performance-measure data-a data desert-for EMS throughout the United States meant that the secondary analyses were inconclusive. Based on these results, we propose three recommendations:(1) most importantly, the lack of data must be addressed. Data collection should be standardized and mandatory for all EMS providers. (2) Treatment protocols for the state should be standardized and based on the latest evidence-based research. Providers should be required to offer the same level of care, to all geographic regions. (3) It may be beneficial to consider restructuring the California EMS system. While the research is limited due to imperfect information, consolidated systems seem to perform better. An existing framework for this already exists.

Evaluation and analysis of the Modified Finnegan Scoring System for assessment of neonatal abstinence syndrome
Authors: Baloch, MD Rafia Q. , Pinto, MD Jamie M. , Greenberg, MS Patricia , Kuo, PhD Yen-Hong , Siu, PharmD, BCPPS Anita
Published: May 2020

Objective: The Finnegan Neonatal Abstinence Scoring System (FNASS) is the most commonly used scoring system for neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) both in its original and modified versions, despite challenges related to tool length and observer bias. The purpose of this study was to determine the most frequent symptoms of NAS that led to score elevation and prompted initiation of drug therapy on the Modified Finnegan (MF). We also sought to identify vital sign changes associated with score elevation.Design: We conducted a retrospective study of neonates diagnosed with NAS, based on ICD-9 codes and charge data for methadone administration.Setting: The study setting was in a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.Patients, Participants: Ninety patients with a total of 286 MF scores recorded from 2011 to 2015 met inclusion criteria.Main Outcome Measure(s): The primary outcome was overall occurrence for each specific component of the MF scoring tool during symptomatic periods. Secondary outcomes were vital sign changes.Results: Among the MF elements, there were 13 components that were scored more often than others in symptomatic infants. Respiratory rate (RR) was elevated in infants with NAS, but other vital signs did not differ from age-specific norms. Conclusions: Of the various signs of NAS used to score the MF, few are frequently observed. Our study reinforces literature that proposes a shortened MF assessment tool. Experimental research will be needed to determine the efficacy of a shortened MF tool for diagnosing NAS.
Tropopause-level planetary wave source and its role in two-way
troposphere–stratosphere coupling
Authors: Boljka Lina , Birner Thomas
Published: May 2020

Abstract. Atmospheric planetary waves play a fundamental role in driving stratospheric dynamics, including sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) events. It is well established that the bulk of the planetary wave activity originates near the surface. However, recent studies have pointed to a planetary wave source near the tropopause that may play an important role in the development of SSWs. Here we analyse the dynamical origin of this wave source and its impact on stratosphere–troposphere coupling, using an idealised model and a quasi-reanalysis. It is shown that the tropopause-level planetary wave source is associated with nonlinear wave–wave interactions and subsequent resonance as well as with transient wave decay. The resulting planetary waves may then propagate deep into the stratosphere, where they dissipate and may help to force SSWs. We find that when an SSW is preceded by the tropopause wave source, it is followed by a robust downward impact, decelerating the tropospheric zonal mean zonal winds between 40–60° N several weeks later. Unlike this robust response following the tropopause wave source events, we do not find such a robust downward impact following the SSWs preceded by surface wave source events. This suggests that the tropopause wave source could potentially be used as one of the predictors of not only SSWs, but their downward impact as well.

Authors: Yıldız Nur İkbal , Şahin Harun , Çelik Feti
Published: May 2020

The current study aimed to investigate pre-service social studies teachers’ self-efficacy perception of their ability to teach geography and attitudes towards the profession of teaching in relation to the variables of gender and university attended. The study is a descriptive study employing the survey model. The research sample was determined from the universities, where there were two public universities represented from each of the seven geographical regions, and a fourth-year student of social studies teaching in the spring semester of the 2017-2018 academic year. The study was carried out with the participation of 654 pre-service social studies teachers from 14 different universities across Turkey. In order to collect data, “The Geography Teaching Self-Efficacy Scale” and “The Scale of Attitudes towards the Profession of Teaching” were used. In the analysis of the collected data, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, independent samples t-test and one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) were used. According to the findings of the current study, self-efficacy perceptions related to geography teaching and their attitudes towards the profession are high. The mean scores taken from the whole self-efficacy perception scale and its sub-dimensions were found to be not varying significantly depending on the gender variable while they were found to be varying significantly depending on the variable of the university attended. On the other hand, the attitudes towards the profession of teaching were found to be varying significantly depending on both of the variables.
Stepwise Safe Access in Hip Arthroscopy in the Supine Position: Tips and Pearls From A to Z
Authors: Maldonado David R. , Rosinsky Philip J. , Shapira Jacob , Domb Benjamin G.
Published: May 2020

Hip arthroscopy is rapidly growing as a treatment with good outcomes for pathologic conditions such as femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and labral tears. At the same time, it is one of the most technically challenging and demanding procedures in orthopaedics with a technically demanding skill. The first challenge is to safely access the joint, which requires accurate anatomical knowledge, a strong sense of spatial orientation, and repeated practice. Iatrogenic chondrolabral injury has been reported as the most common complication in hip arthroscopy and most frequently occurs during hip joint access. As such, basic foundations cannot be overstated. These complications can be minimized with adequate patient positioning, reproducible hip joint access techniques, and proper portals placement. Nonetheless, these three points are perhaps the greatest hurdles that orthopaedic surgeons face when entering the hip arthroscopy field. In this review, we outlined a stepwise approach for a safe access to hip arthroscopy.
Kazakh-China Energy Strategic Partnership Deepens
Authors: Dossan Zhanna
Published: May 2020

Strategic partnership between Kazakhstan and China has significantly increased in the last two decades. The Sino–Kazakh bilateral relationship has considerably extended in terms of economic, political and security particularly after the collapse of Soviet Union. Especially both countries have great prospects for cooperation in the energy sphere. But the energy future of these countries carries a great potential for change, which is related to the shortage of global energy resources. Dialogue between the two countries in the sphere of extraction and use of energy resources will be determined by the political and economic situation on the Eurasian continent. Furthermore, the study concludes that the relationship between the two countries should be beneficial and transparent not equaovocal in nature.
Legislative Basis of Activities of "National-Socialist People's Welfare" within the Framework of Social Legal Policy of the Nazi Regime
Authors: Izudinova Raisat Saidovna , Palamarchuk Evgenii A. , Pariy-Sargeenko Yevgeniya P. , Sarychev Igor A. , Slobodyanyuk Grigory G.
Published: May 2020

The article presents an analysis of the legislative framework and the main lines of activity of the “National Socialist People's Welfare” organization (NSV) that operated in Germany during the Hitler regime. The functioning of the NSV was one of the most important social programs carried out in the framework of the National Socialist social policy. The organization’s mission was to provide material assistance to needy compatriots who included exclusively “full-fledged” racial representatives of the German population, carriers of the national socialist worldview. The activities of the NSV, along with other areas of Nazi social legal policy contributed to the consolidation of society around the Nazi regime and legitimized its institutions.
Anatomical Characteristics of Sunlight-induced Bark (Periderm) Coverages on Columnar Cacti of Central Mexico
Authors: Evans Lance S. , Dombrovskiy Phillip
Published: May 2020

More than twenty-three species of tall, long-lived columnar cacti from a large variety of locations within the Americas show sunlight-induced periderm development on their stems. Periderm coverages lead to cactus morbidity and mortality. Our objective was to determine if periderm coverage patterns and anatomical characteristics of periderm formation differ among five cactus species located at a single site. Periderm coverages, patterns of periderm coverages and histological changes during the periderm formation process were determined for five native species of tall, long-lived columnar cacti in the Tehuacán Valley of Puebla, Mexico during May to June 2019. Periderm coverages and patterns of periderm on cactus surface varied among the species. On surfaces, some species had periderm form at crests initially, while one species had initial periderm form where troughs join. All species had the same internal tissues but the characteristics of these tissues varied among species. In response to periderm formation, one species retained its cuticle while one species retained its hypodermis intact and another produced cork cells inside the hypodermis. Overall, the histological changes that result from periderm formation were specific for each species and no pair of species showed the same responses to periderm formation. In conjunction with data from species from South America, eight distinct scenarios of histological manifestations were documented. Although, each of the five cactus species were in the same location and received the same amount of sunlight exposures, each species showed unique periderm coverages on surfaces, unique anatomical characteristics and unique anatomical responses. Thus, location was not the primary determinant of responses.
Comparison of risk factors for low birth weight among mothers with normal and low birth weight babies
Authors: Mugada Vinodkumar , Kolakota Raj Kiran , Sakalabathula Abhilasha , Kola Bindu Pavani
Published: May 2020

Background: Low birth weight is an alarming problem in developing countries and has severe future complications.
Aim of the study: Our study aimed to compare the risk factors among mothers with low and normal birth weight babies.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out on 1000 mothers with normal and low birth weight babies (500 per group) over two years. Maternal parameters including age, hemoglobin levels, gravida, maternal weight gain, height, pregnancy-induced hypertension, etc., were collected along with anthropometric data of the child. We compared risk factors among the low and normal birth weight babies using the chi-square test, determining statistical significance at p<0.05, and high statistical significance at p<0.01.
Results: Highly statistically significant associations were observed between low birth weight and seven variables: maternal age (p=0.0074), maternal height (p<0.0001), weight (p<0.0001), weight gain (p<0.0001), hemoglobin (p<0.0001), severe anemia (p<0.0001), and pregnancy-induced hypertension (p<0.0001).
Conclusion: Our study observed significant modifiable risk factors like weight gain, weight, hemoglobin, and anemia among mothers with low birth weight babies. If we focus on raising awareness surrounding these risk factors, there may be an improvement in the birth weight of babies in this population.
Performance Evaluation of Existing Special Bridges in Indonesia Based on SNI 1725:2016 AND SNI 2833:2016 (Case Study of Dr. Ir. Soekarno Bridge)
Authors: Sinatra Frans , Riyansyah Muhammad , Suarjana Made
Published: May 2020

AbtractExisting special bridges such as cable-stayed bridges which are complex in structure need to be evaluated against SNI 1725:2016 and SNI 2833:2016. Dr. Ir. Soekarno Bridge located in Manado, North Sulawesi, was used as case study. Analysis based on the performance of the bridge was conducted using the Nonlinear Static Pushover Analysis (NSPA) with three different load distributions and Nonlinear Time History Analysis (NLTHA). Due to the standard load of the bridge, the deflection was still below the allowable deflection. Girder has an overstress of 12% in the Service Ic combination. The cable also has overstress in Cable 7 between 0.4% and 6.2%. Lower segment pylon capacity was exceeded by earthquake load combination of 28%. Bridge performance shows that the bridge structure was at fully operational performance level and the element performance was at immediate occupancy level, each method shows different result in base shear and displacement. The result shows that re-evaluation for existing special bridges is required. The bridge performance has different base shear and displacement for each method. Nonlinear Time History Analysis is the better option for special bridge, Nonlinear Static Pushover Analysis method requires a further study to determine the ideal load distribution for special bridge because the load distribution is crucial to determine the result of pushover analysis. AbstrakJembatan khusus eksisting seperti jembatan cable stayed yang sangat kompleks perlu dievaluasi kinerjanya terhadap SNI 1725:2016 dan SNI 2833:2016. Studi kasus pada penelitian ini adalah Jembatan DR. Ir. Soekarno di Kota Manado, Sulawesi Utara. Dilakukan pula analisis berdasarkan kinerja dengan Nonlinear Static Pushover Analysis dengan tiga pola beban dan Nonlinear Time History Analysis. Akibat beban standar jembatan, lendutan yang terjadi masih dibawah lendutan ijin. Girder mengalami kelebihan tegangan sebesar 12% pada kombinasi beban Layan Ic. Kabel juga terjadi kelebihan tegangan pada Kabel 7 antara 0,4% sampai 6,2%. Kapasitas pylon segmen bawah terlampaui oleh kombinasi beban gempa sebesar 28%. Analisis kinerja struktur jembatan dengan dua metode didapatkan bahwa tingkat kinerja struktur adalah fully operational dan kinerja elemen adalah immediate occupancy, akan tetapi nilai base shear dan perpindahan berbeda untuk masing-masing metode. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa jembatan khusus eksisting perlu di evaluasi ulang terhadap peraturan terbaru. Kinerja jembatan dengan dua analisis nonlinier yang dilakukan menunjukkan hasil yang berbeda, Nonlinear Time History Analysis tetap menjadi metode yang lebih baik untuk jembatan khusus sedangkan metode Nonlinier Static Pushover Analysis perlu penelitian lanjutan untuk menentukan distribusi beban pushover yang cocok digunakan untuk jembatan cable stayed, mengingat pola distribusi beban sangat menentukan hasil dari analisis pushover.

AbstrakStandar Nasional Indonesia (SNI) nomor 03-2834-2000 (SNI 03-2834-2000) memberikan empat jenis slope gradasi gabungan agregat kasar dan halus dalam pembuatan beton  normal. Investigasi empat jenis slope gradasi agregat gabungan ini akan dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruhnya terhadap kuat tekan dan fracture toughness dari beton. Material dasar penyusun beton yang berasal dari Sungai Palu dan memenuhi kriteria standar SNl yang dipakai dalam membuat benda uji. Uji kuat tekan beton digunakan kubus berdimensi 150x150x150 mm dalam menentukan nilai kuat tekan beton (fc'), dan empat jenis balok berdimensi tebal, tinggi dan panjang: 50 x 100 x 300 mm, 50 x 150 x 450 mm, 50 x 300 x 900 mm, dan 50 x 400 x 1200 mm untuk uji Three-Point Bend (TPB) dalam menentukan fracture toughness beton (KIC). Hasil investigasi ini menunjukan bahwa gradasi agregat gabungan yang dipakai dalam campuran beton akan berpengaruh tidak signifikan pada nilai fc', akan tetapi berpengaruh signifikan pada nilai  KIC.AbstractIndonesian National Standard 03-2834-2000 (SNI 03-2834-2000) proposed four types of combined aggregate grading of coarse and fine aggregates in designing normal concrete strength. Investigation of four combined aggregate grading types was performed to determine its effect on the compressive strength and fracture toughness of the concrete.Basic material constituents of concrete were used from Palu river and fulfilling SNI criteria in manufacturing samples. Cubes of 150x150x150 mm were used to determine concrete compressive strength value (fc'), and four types of beams with dimension of width, height, and length: 50 x 100 x 300 mm, 50 x 150 x 450 mm, 50 x 300 x 900 mm, dan 50 x 400 x 1200 mm for Three-Point Bend (TPB) test method to determine fracture toughness of the concrete (KIC). Current research results were found that combined aggregate grading types influenced insignificantly on the fc' value, but significantly on the KIC value.
Colour Experiments. The Harpy Monument: a Section of the West Side

Reconstructions of ancient polychromy on statuary are often the result of meticulous scientific research: pigments and barely visible remnants of decoration are identified. A pigment, however, does not provide evidence of the character of the paint layer, i.e. whether it was opaque or translucent, matte or glossy. As no intact, original paint layers remain, there are many uncertainties regarding paints and painting techniques. What can be seen on marble are faint traces of paint. In the present paper I will draw on my study of the so-called Harpy monument: the questions posed, the methods applied, the series of tests that were conducted and my suggestion of a possible polychromy. My starting point was the idea that monuments send messages to the viewer: the size of the object and the materials with which it was made indicate the commissioner’s social and economic status. Figures and myths illustrate the cultural context, and they reflect values cherished by the commissioner. Colours and shades also transmit messages. The reconstructive part of the project was limited to one of the west side segments, a relief showing a woman enthroned, but in order to understand the monument as a whole its four sides were considered more broadly, taking into account its Anatolian context.

Nootropic drugs are an extensive group of drugs that are used in the treatment of various disorders of the сentral nervous system. One of the widely used nootropic medicines is a piracetam, which is a cyclic derivative of γ-aminobutyric acid. Synthesis of new derivatives of the piracetam with a high nootropic activity is a promising direction of creation of new neuroprotective drugs. The aim of this work is to optimize the synthesis method and the computer calculation of the thermodynamic parameters, explaining the yields of the reaction to obtain N-acyl derivatives of 2-(2-oxo-1-pyrrolidine-1-yl) - acetamide. The acylation of 2-(2-oxo-1-pyrrolidine-1-yl) - acetamide (piracetam) was made by his interaction with anhydrides of organic acids, which are differed in a long carbon chain. The UB3LYP density functional theory method with 6-311G**basis sets was used to determine the thermodynamic properties of molecules. The resulting vibrational analysis of the studied thermodynamic characteristics was carried out in the Orca program. The values of enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs energy were calculated for each stage of the reaction mechanism. Determination of impurities in the reaction products was carried out by HPLC using the UltiMate 3000 system (Dionex, USA) with a spectrophotometric detector covering the operating wavelength range in the region from 190 to 900 nm. The collection and processing of data were carried out by the system for processing chromatographic data Сhromeleon, version 7, using Dionex, USA. The obtained values of the yields of N-acylamides of piracetam to some extent are explained by the calculations of the thermodynamic characteristics of computational methods of computer chemistry (enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs energy, equilibrium constant). Spectral methods of research proved the structure of the compounds and their high purity was determined using HPLC, which confirms the feasibility of using the proposed method of preparation.

The results of experimental study of the electrical and physical parameter of the gas discharge in air under the solutions of the two types of surfactants are given. The discharge was ignited between metal needle anode and liquid cathode. As the cathode the solutions of anionic surfactant C12H25SO4Na (SLS) and cationic surfactant C12H46ClN, (AOTC) were used. In the concentration range of 5·10-3-10 g/L and discharge current range of 20-100 mA the phenomenology of discharge was studied, the current densities and inputted power, cathode voltage drops, vibrational temperatures of N2(C3Πu), gas temperatures were obtained and reduced electric field strength was calculated. It was show that increase of the SLS concentration leads to the change in the discharge color due to transfer of Na atoms from liquid to the gas phase. In the same time there are no any new emission lines or band for the AOTC solutions were obtained. It was established that for cationic surfactants the cathode voltage drop is lower than for anionic surfactant. The gas temperatures and vibrational temperatures don’t depend on solution type. Reduced electric field is in the range of 10-15 Td and the increase of the concentration leads to decrease of the E/N. The increase of the discharge current results in the growth of reduced electric field.
