Published: June 2018

The paper presents the results of thermal studies of carbonized composites based on carbon filled nitrile-butadiene rubber. It was shown that carbon fibers (CF) increase the thermal conductivity of the composites and reduce their linear expansion, whereas carbon nanotubes (CNTs) practically do not change the linear expansion of the composites; instead, they effectively increase their thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity of the composites with 25 PHR of CNTs exceeds the thermal conductivity of the composites reinforced with 25 and 50 PHR of CF. Thus, CNTs more effectively increase thermal conductivity than CF due to the appearance of additional heat transfer bridges. It was found that the composites have very high values of the storage modulus at room temperature (16–20 GPa), and it is about 4–5 GPa at 300°C, which is almost impossible for traditional polymer matrix composites.
Derivation of Property Distribution Images from Microstructural Analyses of X2CrNi18-9 with Regard to Hydrogen Embrittlement
Authors: Fussik R. , Weber S.
Published: June 2018

The scope of this research project covers the examination of the microstructure of different austenitic steels with regard to H embrittlement. It is known from the literature that the alloy X2CrNi18-9 is susceptible to H embrittlement, whereas steel X2CrNiMo18-14-3 is highly resistant to the embrittlement process. Austenitic steels with a low γ stability are susceptible to form α‘ martensite during plastic deformation. The γ stability can be estimated using empirical formulas, while one drawback of this approach is that only a limited amount of alloying elements is considered by those equations. A thermodynamic approach has proven effective for the estimation of the γ stability of multicomponent alloys. Hence, results from the microsegregation analysis for alloy X2CrNi18–9 using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy are presented and their influence on the local γ stability is discussed based on property distribution images.
Effects of Friction Stir Processing on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Al-Mg-Sc Alloy
Authors: Pan D. , Zhou S. , Li Y. , Zhan Z. , Li H. , Wu Y.
Published: June 2018

Friction-stir processing (FSP) imposed a remarkable grain refining effect on Al-5Mg-0.2Sc alloy, changing typical dendritic microstructure into fine and equiaxed recrystallized grains. Such effect was found to be related to intense plastic deformation and high-temperature exposure, resulting in occurrence of dynamic recrystallization. During this process, Al3Sc dispersoids due to the addition of 0.2 % Sc in a high density were precipitated and effectively hindered the migration of grain boundaries and subsequent grain growth, giving rise to a significant grain-refining strengthening effect. On the other hand, these Al3Sc precipitates caused an additional substructure strengthening and precipitation strengthening effect. An attractive comprehensive property of Al-5Mg-0.2Sc alloy subjected to FSP was obtained.

Walking the Spiritual Path with Both Feet Planted Firmly on the Ground
Authors: Baldwin Joyce
Published: June 2018

Since 1956 Joyce has been searching for the answer to ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s prophetic exhortation to “[a]ttach great importance to the indigenous population of America” because “should they be educated and guided, there can be no doubt that they will become so illumined as to enlighten the whole world” (qtd. in Shoghi Effendi, Citadel 16). With each attempt to discover her true identity, Joyce is led closer to the answer of her lifelong search to find the way to that illumined world. In pursuit of this goal, Joyce has educated herself about the culture and stories of her clan and tribe to discover those beliefs that will act as a bridge of understanding between herself and her family and tribal members. Grandmothers, great aunts, and all their friends have enriched Joyce’s learning with many gems of understanding and have brought her ever closer to finding the answers she seeks.

ANALYSIS RESEARCHES ON DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC MANAGEMENT IN UKRAINE WITHIN THE SYSTEM OF INTERNATIONAL AND LEGAL STANDARDS
Authors: Al-Atti Iryna Vasylivna
Published: June 2018

Fundamentally new approaches to public management in interna- tional and legal aspect which are highlighted in scientific researchers have been defined in the article. Importance of every catalyst-reasons offered by the re- searches, amendments in fundamentals of public management as affected by the international law have been analyzed. Scientific researches, in the context of inno- vations in the sphere of public management with due regard for international and legal aspects, have been analyzed. Classification of reforms based on the principle of readiness of the Ukrainian management system for the amendments offered by the scientists has been carried out. The conclusion is made that the Ukrainian state should implement new management standards more efficiently, and it refers not only to modernization of the political sphere but also to the balanced develop- ment of administrative, economic, social, spiritual spheres of social life. It is deter- mined that today the scientific aspects of the supranational dimension in modern social management have remained beyond the attention of the scientists. Due to the study of the peculiarities of the European experience in the organization of democratic state governance and the systemic characteristics of the development of integration processes, the following directions of improvement of public ad- ministration as part of the process of building a democratic society in Ukraine are identified: 1) strengthening of the influence of the European administrative space on the system of public administration in Ukraine; 2) optimization of pub- lic administration in accordance with criteria of EU membership, humanization and systematization of public administration. It is these directions that can serve as the subject of individual scientific studies, taking into account the adaptation of foreign experience to national conditions. It is substantiated that in the pre- sent moment in Ukraine the main possibility of mutual exchange of experience in the field of public administration is carried out with the help of international cooperation. Therefore, it is precisely on the basis of the analysis of both foreign and domestic scientific research that it is possible to develop, design, and identify the main stages of the development of public administration in Ukraine, taking into account the main and important international legal norms, traditions and principles.
COOPERATION OF INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS ON PUBLIC POLICY FORMATION FOR THE PREVENTION OF MONEY-LAUNDERING
Authors: Sciurba Michele
Published: June 2018

This article is devoted to the research of theoretical and practical issues of international institutions concerning the cooperation on the formation of anti-money laundering state regulation. The article provides an analysis of the main activity fields of intergovernmental institutions in the prevention of launder- ing “dirty” money. It is shown that the goal of consolidating the efforts of interna- tional structures is to integrate standards and recommendations into the mecha- nisms of public administration in order to ensure financial stability and integrity of state development as well as better financial supervision and control by the state.It is noted that the problem of money laundering can not be solved only by creating new organizational forms of state control, extraordinary and punitive measures. It requires understanding of this phenomenon as having an economic, political, ethical, managerial and legal background. The process of state regulation of money laundering should apply to all employees of state authorities, adminis- tration, justice, (stipulated by the legislation of a number of countries) and public entities with public service functions, and not just so-called officials. Important regulations for the forms and procedures for monitoring civil servants, the avai- lability and effectiveness of the code of ethics and behavior. It is substantiated that the effectiveness of implementing measures to prevent corruption can not be achieved through single and non-systemic actions at diffe- rent levels, but requires long-term socio-economic, political and legal transforma- tions. This activity should be based on a combination of a number of preventive and repressive measures.Thus, the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing is now consi- dered as a priority direction in counteracting organized crime in most countries of the world and in the world community as a whole.
PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY OF STATE EMPLOYEES OF STATE SERVICE OF UKRAINE ON EMERGENCY SITUATIONS: OPTIMIZATION OF INTERFERENCE RELATIONS OF WORKERS OF EMERGENCY RESCUE DEPARTMENTS WITH SUFFERED
Authors: Akimov Alexander Olexeyevich
Published: June 2018

The article deals with the issues of the activity of civil servants of the State Service of Ukraine for emergency situations, the general concept of interpersonal relations of workers with victims is disclosed, the main aspects of rendering emergency psychological assistance are considered. The ways of perfection of professional optimization of interpersonal relations of workers of rescue units of the DSNC of Ukraine with the victims are analyzed. The analysis and consideration of all existing forms, methods and methods of providing emergency psychological assistance as a single system. For the first time, it is proposed to consider the provision of emergency psychological assistance as a multi-channel queuing system with an unlimited queue. Proposals have been made on the activities of government bodies and civil servants to improve the forms, methods and methods of providing emergency psychological assistance to victims in emergency situations. It is noted that for many years, along with the development of psychological ideas, concepts and theories, there was a large “army” of psychologists who worked in health care institutions, in production, in education, in the internal affairs, aviation and space industries, and other sectors of the national economy. The content and results of their activities often did not fall on the pages of newspapers or in scientific publications. But these psychologists and their work often served as the primary source for experimental research and theoretical work of scientists. It is proved that any person, following certain recommendations and having information about the personality characteristics of the victim, will be able to provide him with the first psychological help in certain circumstances. It is very important to know how to help the victim immediately after the tragic event, to master the skills of working with the individual consequences of psycho-traumatic situations. It is especially important to know, in order to identify in a timely manner unfavorable psychological conditions and seek help from a specialist.

Authors: Diegtiar Oleg Andriyovych , Vavrenyuk Sergey Anatolievich
Published: June 2018

The study analyzes and summarizes the system of forming readiness for the development of physical culture of students in higher education institutions of Ukraine, taking into account regional features, the possibilities of constructive reflection, integrated self-development and personality formation, ready for self-determination, self-improvement and self-development in the physical culture system. It was revealed that one of the most important components of the design of the system for the formation of young people’s physical culture is the level of health that was formed in the process of their life. Despite centuries of attempts to study human health, it still has no clear criteria for evaluation. Despite the large number of definitions, points of view on the nature of health, so far there is no unity of approaches to its definition. It does not, however, cause doubts and the fact that health must reflect the ability of a person to maintain his homeostasis through adaptation to changing environment conditions, that is, to actively resist such changes in order to preserve and prolong life. Therefore, when designing a system for the formation of students’ physical culture, it is necessary to know the features of the territories inhabited by students of higher educational establishments for the development of practical recommendations for the prevention of diseases and the introduction of changes in working curricula. It is noted that readiness for the development of physical culture in students is a new qualitative characteristic of a person with a high level of competence, self-development ability, self-perfection, self-development in the field of physical culture that is able to distinguish from it in the process of physical education in higher educational establishments. forming components in the process of self-development and professional formation. It is proved that the structure of readiness for the development of physical culture among students of higher educational institutions is a multicomponent model consisting of motivation-purposeful, informative, operationalfunctional and reflection modules.
EUROPEAN LESSONS OF DECENTRALIZATION
Authors: Kartashov Evgeny Grigoryevich
Published: June 2018

The role of the state in the processes of European integration and decentralization is analyzed, the factors of threats for it are determined. The following common features of decentralization processes in the EU member states are highlighted as strengthening the role of the regional level, the need to choose between different models of separation of powers between different levels of government (exclusive or joint authority) and the search for ways to adequately finance transferred powers. Decentralization also actualizes the problem of territorial inequality and patronage for European countries. It is proved that the national state is a central actor in the process of decentralization, despite the fact that this process creates certain threats to the state itself. On the one hand, the EU as a supranational organization has already limited some aspects of the sovereignty of its member states, in particular, in the area of monetary policy. With the deepening of European integration, the powers of national states and in other areas are increasingly limited. On the other hand, the gradual increase in the share of powers conveyed by the state to decentralized and regional authorities further weakens its role. Moreover, the increasing influence of liberalism on state policy and the introduction of competition among the main providers of public services also limits the possibility of the state’s influence on its internal policies. Such a dynamics gives grounds for questioning the ability of states to effectively manage their territories. At the same time, it was noted that in most EU member states, the bodies of state power have long been the guarantor of national unity in both social and territorial terms. Such a “unity of opposites” (decentralization and centralization) is unlikely to change in the medium term.
IDENTIFY PROBLEM ISSUES OF SELF-ORDERED DEVELOPMENT MECHANISMS IN THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM
Authors: Rodchenko Igor Yurievich
Published: June 2018

The problematic issues of the development of self-ordering mechanisms in the public administration system are determined, with observance of their division into institutional, functional and evolutionary parts.

The institutional part includes self-regulation mechanisms implemented in the models of subject-subject interaction at the levels of higher, central and local government bodies, as well as in models of object-object interaction between them. The most important in the institutional part of self-governing mechanisms are those that ensure: the separation of powers between branches of government; administrative reform of the government structure; separation of public spheres of government between central government bodies; administrative reform of the structure of central executive bodies; delimitation of territorial spheres of government between local authorities; administrative-territorial reform; formation and implementation of the structure of the power hierarchy; administrative reform of the structure of the power hierarchy.

The functional part includes the mechanisms of self-regulation, realized in the model of object-object interaction “system of state power — social sphere, industry and relations”. The most important parts of the mechanisms of self-regulation are those that ensure: the formation and implementation of state policies in various spheres of society; formation and implementation of national projects; formation and implementation of state target programs; state budgeting.

The evolutionary part includes the mechanisms of self-regulation, realized in the model of object-object interaction “system of state power — the creation of conditions for social development”. The most important parts of the evolutionary part of self-governing mechanisms are those that provide: strategic management and planning; realization of state programs of social and economic development; conducting constant economic and social reforms and transformations.
SOCIAL CONFLICT: ARCHETYPAL NATURE AND RESOLUTION MECHANISM
Authors: Hasanov Ruslan Rafisovich
Published: June 2018

On the basis of the archetypic analysis of development trends of a conflictological paradigm the author’s model of minimization of conflict potential in modern society is offered. Institutional construction is the basis for model that is harmonized with a factor of societal identity.

It is noted that the problems of social conflicts, according to data from monitoring studies of the Ukrainian school of archetype, are increasingly shifted into the sphere of interpersonal relations. It is stimulated by the progression in society of so-called self-sufficient personalities, the “subjectification” of the social space, and at the same time narrowing down to the solution of entirely specific situations in which there is a collision of the interests of two or more parties.

Instead, in order to find the optimal solution for resolving the conflict, it is necessary to have interdisciplinary knowledge, in particular understanding of the deep nature of such conflicts. Collision of points of view, thoughts, positions — a very frequent phenomenon of modern social life. In order to develop the correct line of behavior in various conflict situations, it is important to adequately understand the nature of the emergence of the modern conflict and the mechanisms for resolving them in substance. Knowledge of conflict nature enriches the culture of communication and makes human life and social groups not only more calm, but also creates conditions for constructive development. It is proved that in modern life one can not but agree with the statement that an individual carries first responsibility for his own life and only then for the life of the social groups to which he belongs. And while making decisions within the framework of modern mechanisms (consensus), the properties of human psychology such as extroversion, emotionality, irrationality, intuition, externality, and executive ability will not at least contribute to such a task.

That is why in the author’s research attracted attention to the archetypal nature of the conflict — the primitive images, ideas, feelings inherent in man as a bearer of the collective unconscious.
PUBLIC REGULATION OF COOPERATION WITH INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL ORGANIZATIONS: EXPERIENCE OF THE COUNTRIES OF EASTERN EUROPE
Authors: Shostak Svetlana Nikolaevna
Published: June 2018

The article analyzes the effectiveness of the activities of international financial organizations in the context of their cooperation with the countries of Eastern Europe. The article clarifies that financing by international financial organizations of the private sector of Eastern Europe creates preconditions for raising their economic and social efficiency and for creating not only collective but also social goods. The main goals of the Eastern European countries, financed by international financial organizations, are considered in detail.

It is proved that the financing of the private sector of the Eastern European countries of the EBRD creates the preconditions for raising their economic and social efficiency and for creating not only collective but also public goods. However, the implementation of these prerequisites depends on a sound economic policy of the country, the timely formation of a new institutional structure for the functioning of the public sector, etc. It is noted that for the effective provision of this area of cooperation with the EBRD to the countries of Eastern Europe it is necessary:

• facilitate the transition from the capital and labor-intensive export of industrial products to high-tech and innovative; • to provide state aid for the formation of foreign capital by creating special zones of export production with a favorable tax regime; • implement a planned approach to regulating the development of the national economy on the basis of optimization of the state procurement process, the formation of subsidies and other forms of state regulation of investment activity, etc.

It is noted that in general, the experience of cooperation of the countries of Eastern Europe with international financial organizations and for Ukraine is important. After all, in Ukraine there are a number of political factors that hinder the development of foreign investments due to the non-adaptation of domestic enterprises to the world market conditions of cooperation. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to reorganize the structure of state management of industrial objects and to establish mechanisms for legislative regulation of this process.
ROLE AND PLACE OF ECONOMIC SECURITY IN THE SYSTEM OF STATE REGULATION PROVIDING FOR NATIONAL SECURITY OF UKRAINE
Authors: Akimova Lyudmila Nikolayevna
Published: June 2018

The essence of such concepts as “national security”, “economic security” is disclosed; the components of the national and economic security of Ukraine are defined; mechanisms of public administration economic security; the main indicators of economic security are described; detected threats that affect economic security; Recommendations are developed to improve the effectiveness of implemented measures to minimize existing threats. It is determined that at present state administration of the subjects of ensuring national security taking into account real and potential threats should be directed to the improvement of the organizational structure of the management of the subjects of ensuring national security, namely: clarification of the functions of ministries and other central executive bodies, elimination of surplus administrative units, simplification and relatively cheaper control of the management apparatus, taking into account the assessment of the impact of information networks on the management of entities with bezpechennya national security in a single information space. Having considered the components of national security, it was concluded that the most important in the overall system of national security is economic security, since it is the material basis of national sovereignty, which determines the real possibilities for securing other types of security. It is noted that the main content of economic reforms in Ukraine is the creation of conditions for overcoming poverty and excessive property stratification in society, bringing social standards closer to the level of the states of Central and Eastern Europe — the EU member states, achieving the economic criteria necessary for Ukraine to become a member of the EU. According to the adopted “Strategy of National Security of Ukraine”, the main condition for a new quality of economic growth is the provision of economic security.
LEGAL REGULATION OF RELATIONS IN THE FIELD OF IMPLEMENTATION OF FINANCIAL CONTROL, ACTIVITIES OF HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
Authors: Greben Svetlana Evgenivna
Published: June 2018

The article generalizes the existing approaches to the definition of the term “financial control”. A detailed analysis of the Law of Ukraine “On Education”, the Regulation “On State Audit Office” and the Concept of Development of State Internal Financial Control are carried out. The state and prospects of internal and external financial control in higher educational institutions are investigated. It is substantiated that the legal department, in the state of which the specialist with special knowledge in the field of budget institution activity is desirable, is responsible for the legality and legal validity of the decisions taken. The specified person has the authority and responsibility for receiving and using funds from the budgets with the maximum achievement. In the framework of internal financial control, it is expedient to build an information and communication system for monitoring and processing of common methodological and organizational control principles through the development of the Regulations on the implementation of internal control, job descriptions of employees and the Guidelines for the implementation of internal control.It is noted that financial control, as a separate field of research has always been in demand and caused considerable interest. Given the cross-cutting nature of financial control, it is logical that it is unique and unique in various areas of implementation. Uniform unified financial control knowledge can not be applied — each industry has its own nuances. It is determined that financial control occupies the leading place in the activity of the University and, subject to its high quality, results will surpass all expectations. The existence of a legislative framework regulating the procedure for the implementation of financial control, the rights and powers of controlling bodies is not a guarantee of success. First of all, it is necessary that the specified laws be fulfilled and the controlling entities deliberately comply with the requirements of the legislation not because of the fear of negative consequences, but because of the desire for effective, economical use of funds in order to achieve the best result.
USE OF MOVIE AS A TOOL OF STATE ADMINISTRATION FOR THE AMATEUR ART IN NATIONAL PATRIOTIC PUBLIC INFLUENCE
Authors: Lebiedieva Nadiia Anatoliivna
Published: June 2018

The article describes the use of movie means as an instrument of state administration of amateur art in national-patriotic education of the population. The novelty of this article is that amateur film works have been described for the first time that bear the spiritual and educational value and its state management support for the movie in its content. It is determined that the state should influence the processes of education, taking into account future economic and socio-political development, to ensure a stable order of law for the purpose of defense capability. Education should be based on a philosophical theoretical and methodological analysis of the entire educational process and contemporary cultural achievements. The state needs art to save and develop the best domestic traditions, because it is able to bring up the best human qualities, to develop the brightest feelings of the citizens, that is, to promote better social development, not only in Ukraine, but also abroad, enriching the European culture as a whole with its content. Art as a means of cultural communication in the system of public administration plays a leading role and a special place, requires more attention and funding. The support of a national product, created not for the purpose of mass culture, but the preservation of the cultural heritage of Ukraine, is of great value for saving the best traditions characteristic of our people. And the popularization of domestic cinema works at the international level contributes to the artistic enrichment of humanity. Therefore, the victory of samples of our professional and amateur art in various international forums contribute to raising the image of the country, which is very important in today's complex socio-political situation. It is substantiated that the formation of professional and amateur arts in the system of public administration should take place through the process of understanding the aspects of individual and group behavior, system analysis procedures, planning methods, motivation and control, quantitative methods and decision making. Applying the state-management approach to the problem under study, it is proved that a healthy society can not be imagined without art.

Syndrome d’hyperviscosité : mise au point pour les réanimateurs
Authors: Valade S. , Lemiale V. , Mariotte E.
Published: June 2018

Le syndrome d’hyperviscosité (SH) est une entité clinique composée de signes variables non spécifiques et dont le diagnostic repose sur un faisceau d’arguments contextuels, anamnestiques et clinicobiologiques. En dehors de la mesure de la viscosité plasmatique, l’examen le plus spécifique pour confirmer le diagnostic semble être le fond d’œil. L’incidence du SH est inconnue, mais il s’agit d’une complication rare d’un grand nombre de pathologies. La physiopathologie est en rapport avec une augmentation de la viscosité plasmatique ou avec une augmentation du nombre d’éléments figurés du sang et/ou une altération de la capacité de ces cellules à circuler dans le lit capillaire. Le SH relève toujours d’un traitement de la pathologie sous-jacente et d’un traitement symptomatique visant à diminuer la viscosité sanguine. Dans les formes les plus sévères, il peut être nécessaire de recourir à un traitement par aphérèse thérapeutique en urgence. Le pronostic dépend principalement de la pathologie sous-jacente.
Post-Adoption Problem Behaviours in Adolescent and Adult Dogs Rehomed through a New Zealand Animal Shelter
Authors: Gates M. Carolyn , Zito Sarah , Thomas Julia , Dale Arnja
Published: June 2018

Problem behaviours in dogs rehomed through animal shelters can jeopardise the long-term success of adoptions. In this study, data from 61 adolescent and adult dog adoptions that occurred through an animal shelter in Auckland, New Zealand, from 1 November 2015 to 31 July 2016 were analysed to describe the frequency of problem behaviours and level of adopter concern at different time points post-adoption. Amongst the 57 dogs with behavioural information available, 40 (70%) had at least one reported problem behaviour, and the most frequently reported problem behaviours were poor manners (46%), destruction of household items (30%), and excessively high energy (28%). Very few dogs showed territorial aggression when objects or food items were removed (2% and 4%, respectively). However, aggression toward people or other dogs was frequently reported (19% and 19%, respectively). Of the 54 adopters that provided a response about their level of concern over their dog’s problem behaviours, 24 (44%) were not concerned at all, 23 (43%) were a little concerned, 4 (7%) were moderately concerned, and 3 (6%) were very concerned. Based on our interpretation of these findings, post-adoption support programmes targeted toward teaching adopters how to correctly train their dogs may be beneficial to increasing adoption satisfaction.
Endogenous Control Mechanisms of FAK and PYK2 and Their Relevance to Cancer Development
Authors: Naser Rayan , Aldehaiman Abdullah , Díaz-Galicia Escarlet , Arold Stefan T.
Published: June 2018

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and its close paralogue, proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (PYK2), are key regulators of aggressive spreading and metastasis of cancer cells. While targeted small-molecule inhibitors of FAK and PYK2 have been found to have promising antitumor activity, their clinical long-term efficacy may be undermined by the strong capacity of cancer cells to evade anti-kinase drugs. In healthy cells, the expression and/or function of FAK and PYK2 is tightly controlled via modulation of gene expression, competing alternatively spliced forms, non-coding RNAs, and proteins that directly or indirectly affect kinase activation or protein stability. The molecular factors involved in this control are frequently deregulated in cancer cells. Here, we review the endogenous mechanisms controlling FAK and PYK2, and with particular focus on how these mechanisms could inspire or improve anticancer therapies.
Hybrid Newton–Successive Substitution Method for Multiphase Rachford-Rice Equations
Authors: Gao Ran , Yin Xiaolong , Li Zhiping
Published: June 2018

In multiphase (≥3) equilibrium calculations, when the Newton method is used to solve the material balance (Rachford-Rice) equations, poorly conditioned Jacobian can lead to false convergence. We present a robust successive substitution method that solves the multiphase Rachford-Rice equations sequentially using the method of bi-section while considering the monotonicity of the equations and the locations of singular hyperplanes. Although this method is slower than Newton solution, as it does not rely on Jacobians that can become poorly conditioned, it can be inserted into Newton iterations upon the detection of a poorly conditioned Jacobian. Testing shows that embedded successive substitution steps effectively improved the robustness. The benefit of the Newton method in the speed of convergence is maintained.
Extension of the Dupuit–Forchheimer Model for Non-Hydrostatic Flows in Unconfined Aquifers
Authors: Zerihun Yebegaeshet T.
Published: June 2018

The classical Dupuit–Forchheimer approach, commonly used in analysing unconfined groundwater-flow systems, relies on the assumption of a negligible vertical component of the flow. This approximation is valid only when the convergence of streamlines is very limited and the drawdown of the phreatic surface is small, or the thickness of the horizontal layer of the heterogeneous aquifers is sufficiently small. In this study, a higher-order one-dimensional model is proposed for groundwater-flow problems with significant inclination and curvature of the phreatic surface. The model incorporates non-hydrostatic terms that take into account the effects of the vertical velocity of the flow, and was solved with an implicit finite-difference scheme. The accuracy of the proposed model was demonstrated by simulating various unconfined seepage- and groundwater-flow problems with moderate curvilinear effects. The computational results for steady-state flows were compared with the results of the full two-dimensional potential-flow methods and experimental data, resulting in a reasonably good agreement. In general, the comparison results exhibited the efficiency and validity of the model in simulating complex unconfined flows over curved bedrock and curvilinear flows over planar bedrock with a steep slope.

Dry cured meat—‘cecina’—is a traditional, although not well-known, dry product that could add value to cull ewes. Because of this, the aim of the study was to assess consumer acceptability of ‘cecina’ from cull ewes finished with different levels of linseed (5, 10 or 15%) for different periods before slaughtering (30, 50 or 70 days). One hundred and fifty consumers evaluated colour acceptability, fatness and odour, flavour and overall acceptability of ‘cecina’ from those 9 treatments. Additionally, habits of consumption of cured products and preferences for different species and willingness to pay for ‘cecina’ were investigated. Linseed supplementation was identified as the most important factor for sensorial attributes (p < 0.01), with the preferred ‘cecina’ being that with 5% and 10% supplementation. Feeding duration only modified the fatness acceptability (p < 0.01). ‘Cecina’ from small ruminants is a product consumed occasionally by the majority of participants; however, it presented an adequate overall acceptability. Consequently, elaborating ‘cecina’ would be a feasible strategy to improve the income of farmers.
Reaching Out to Rural Caregivers and Veterans with Dementia Utilizing Clinical Video-Telehealth
Authors: Powers James S. , Buckner Jennifer
Published: June 2018

Context: A clinical video telehealth (CVT) program was implemented to improve access and quality of dementia care to patients and their caregivers in rural areas. The program was offered as part of an established dementia clinic/geriatric primary care clinic in collaboration with five community-based outpatient clinics (CBOC’s) affiliated with the Tennessee Valley Healthcare System (TVHS) in middle Tennessee. Telehealth support was provided by a physician–social worker team visit. Methods: Telehealth training and equipment were provided to clinic personnel, functioning part-time with other collateral clinical duties. Patients and caregivers were referred by primary care providers and had an average of one to two CVT encounters originating at their local CBOC lasting 20 to 30 min. Clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients and caregivers receiving CVT support were collected by retrospective electronic medical record (EMR) review. Results: Over a 3-year period 45 CVT encounters were performed on patient–caregiver dyads, followed for a mean of 15 (1–36) months. Some 80% patients had dementia confirmed and 89% of these had serious medical comorbidities, took an average of eight medications, and resided at a distance of 103 (76–148) miles from the medical center. Dementia patients included 33% with late stage dementia, 25% received additional care from a mental health provider, 23% took antipsychotic medications, 19% transitioned to a higher level of care, and 19% expired an average of 10.2 months following consultation. Significant caregiver distress was present in 47% of family members. Consult recommendations included 64% community-based long-term care services and supports (LTSS), 36% medications, and 22% further diagnostic testing. Acceptance of the CVT encounter was 98%, with 8770 travel miles saved. Conclusions: CVT is well received and may be helpful in providing dementia care and supporting dementia caregivers to obtain LTSS for high-need older adults in rural areas.
The Effects of Temperament on Depression According to the Schema Model: A Scoping Review
Authors: Lim Charmaine Ruling , Barlas Joanna , Ho Roger Chun Man
Published: June 2018

Background: Recent studies have shown that not every depressed patient responds to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and some of those who do relapse upon termination. Due to its dual focus on the past and present, Schema Model (SM) represents a promising alternative model to understand depression. However, studies examining SM often operationalize the same construct differently, resulting in inconsistent evidence of change. There is no known review clarifying (1) how best to assess schema constructs; and (2) the relevant pathways to depression, without which, the empirical basis for SM cannot be examined. Methods: A scoping review was conducted in accordance to PRISMA guidelines to map evidence of the relationship between constructs of SM and depression, and measures used to assess the constructs. 2463 articles were identified with 49 primary research studies included. This paper is a subset of the scoping review and focuses on the five studies examining effects of temperament on depression. Results: Two models were used to operationalize temperament: The Five Factor Model (FFM) and the Psychobiological Model of Personality (PBM). The variables of neuroticism and harm avoidance were positively associated with depressive symptoms while self-directedness and cooperativeness were negative associated with depressive symptoms. Conclusion: The FFM is more suited to operationalize temperament in studies of SM and depression due to its theoretical compatibility with SM, established psychometric properties of its measures, and widespread use among studies of SM. Out of the five factors in the FFM, only neuroticism exerts direct and indirect effects on depression. These findings are limited by homogeneous sampling, hence future research studies should consider extending it to adult clinical samples. Nevertheless, this review represents a first step in the systematic examination of the empirical basis of SM and a contribution to treatment innovation and practice for depression.
