Authors: Chang Ki-Yin , Liu Chung-Ping , Huang Mei-Lian , Shen Jian-Hung , Ding Ji-Feng
Published: May 2020

AbstractThis article proposes a novel implementation of a cloud cargo image system via Quick Response (QR) codes to reduce the amount and cost of manual unpacking examinations for export containers. First, individual cargo pictures for different owners are taken before loading.
After loading, cargo scenario photos are also taken right before sealing the doors. According to the customs inspection procedure, all containers selected for checks were X-rayed. If cargo X-ray images cannot be identified by customs, the container must be unpacked for examination. In this
study, customs officers can access the cargo interior photos with a voucher via its QR code. By comparing X-ray images and cargo scenario photos, the officers verify whether the inspection cargo and declared goods are consistent. Thus, the amount and cost of manual unpacking examination can
be substantially reduced. Simulation results showed that, for the inspectors using the X-ray scanner with this cargo image system, overall examination performance for export containers increased by about 32%. This study further expects to provide results and findings to relevant stakeholders
for reference.

Published: May 2020

AbstractThe use of natural gas hydrate as a strategic alternative energy has increasingly attracted the attention of researchers in related fields. To study the properties of natural gas hydrate, however, obtaining the cores under in-situ pressure is a prerequisite because the cores are under particular combinations of high-pressure and low-temperature storage conditions. This article mainly presents the mechanism of a gravity piston corer in acquiring the pressure core of natural gas hydrate (up to 30 m long). The sampling theoretical model is established, and the corer's motion equation is thereafter derived. Based on the theoretical model, the penetration process of the gravity piston corer into the submarine sediment is analyzed. The weight, inner diameter, outer diameter, and initial speed, which are factors affecting the sampling process, are comprehensively elaborated. Additionally, the sampling process is numerically simulated using ABAQUS finite element software. It is found that the soil and pipe are influenced back by their coupling action, thus affording theoretical and numerical bases for the design and installation of a seabed operation structure. In its verification deployment in the South China Sea, the corer was operated numerous times at different depths; it successfully extracted pressure cores of natural gas hydrate. The theory and sea trails employed in this study are anticipated to support further research on abyssal pressure core corers.

Authors: Van der Colf Berta E. , Van Zyl Gert U. , Noden Bruce H. , Ntirampeba Dismas
Published: May 2020

Background: When a pregnant woman contracts Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) infection during pregnancy, it may be vertically transmitted to the foetus. Information on the incidence of congenital toxoplasmosis (CT) in developing countries is scarce. Most studies focus on the seroprevalence of T. gondii infection among pregnant women. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of T. gondii infection among pregnant women attending public antenatal care in Windhoek, Namibia, in 2016.Methods: In this descriptive study, 344 urban pregnant women attending public antenatal care were voluntarily enrolled in the study. Seroprevalence of anti-T. gondii Immunoglobulin G (IgG) was determined by automated immunoassay. Samples with a positive T. gondii IgG result were tested for T. gondii Immunoglobulin M (IgM) and specific IgG avidity by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test. A questionnaire captured demographic data and exposure to risk factors. Data were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and R.Results: Anti-T. gondii IgG was found in nine (2.61%) pregnant women. There was no association of anti-T. gondii IgG with demographic characteristics or exposure to risk factors.Anti-T. gondii IgM was positive in one (0.3%) woman, while three (0.9%) women had borderline anti-T. gondii IgM results. Specific IgG avidity was low, equivocal and high in 0%, 33% and 67% of seropositive pregnant women, respectively.Conclusion: Seroprevalence of anti-T. gondii IgG is much lower in Namibia than is reported in other developing countries. Investigation into specific IgM seropositivity and IgG avidity showed that pregnant women in the central region of Namibia are at low risk of vertical transmission and development of CT.

Authors: Vlkovský Martin
Published: May 2020

In the article, the application of modern MEMS accelerometers to evaluate driver training is discussed. Data from a transport experiment with Tatra 815 on a training polygon consisting of 4 types of surfaces were used, and the driver completed 4 individual laps. The tested parameters showed statistically significant differences between selected laps and surfaces (sections) depending on the driving style and the average speed. It is clear from the evaluation of the ride that the driver is gradually improving when driving on the polygon, as assumed. However, from a certain moment the magnitude of generated shocks exceeds normatively determined values. The design part determines specific requirements on driving characteristics of a driver during a driver training.

Authors: Thai Do Ngoc , Toan Do Duc ,   Faculty of Civil Engineering, Hanoi University of Mining and Geology, Vietnam;  Power Engineering Consulting Joint Stock Company , Vietnam
Published: May 2020

In the mechanized excavation of subway tunnels, the shield tunnel boring machine (TBM) has been developed in recent decades for managing the instability of the excavation profile in complicated geotechnical conditions in urban areas. The paper presents a 3D simulation procedure for the detailed description of TBM (via the finite element code Abaqus) and quantifies the influence of TBM face pressure on ground surface settlements. The model is used to calculate ground surface settlements for different values of TBM face pressure. An additional aspect of the investigation is the determination of the critical value of TBM face pressure, which controls face instability in very weak ground. During the advancement of shield tunnel boring machines, the face-stabilizing pressure is one of the most important factors of critical. In tunneling by shield tunnel boring machines, high face pressure often leads to surface upheaval, whereas low face pressure leads to sudden collapse of the face and ultimately settlement of the surface. For the model condition, the maximum value was quantity 250 kPa and the minimum value obtained quantity 150 KPa.

Radiological evaluation of placental invasion anomalies: single center data
Authors: Tutar Sadettin Oguzhan , Özeren Mehmet
Published: May 2020

Placenta previa totalis refers to the placenta lying over the lower uterine segment and completely covering the internal cervical os. The aim of this study was to predict the complications that may develop in cases with placenta previa totalis and most importantly, to decrease maternal morbidity and mortality rates.

A total of 185 patients, who were diagnosed with placenta previa totalis in our clinic between January 2011 and December 2015 and underwent cesarean section, were included in the present study. Patients with placenta previa partialis, placenta previa marginalis, lower placenta pre-diagnosis, and placenta previa less than 24 weeks of gestation were excluded. Demographic data, gynecological and obstetric histories, type of surgical incision, placental adhesion anomalies, laboratory parameters, and blood transfusions of the patients were examined. Patients' type of application to our clinic, gestational week, birth weight, sex of the newborn, Apgar score of the first and fifth minutes, additional surgical interventions and complications developed were evaluated. The data were obtained using PROBEL Hospital Information Management System, which is the hospital electronic archive database.

It was observed that a total of 60039 babies were delivered (29894 vaginal deliveries, 30145 cesarean sections) in our hospital during the study period. The frequency of the five-year placental invasion anomaly was found to be six in 10000 births. There was a statistically significant increase in the number of previous cesarean sections and invasion formation (p<0.05).

Early diagnosis and adequate preoperative preparation are of great importance particularly in cases with placenta previa totalis who are thought to have an invasion. Patients should be referred to tertiary centers with high-quality blood bank unit, adult intensive care unit and neonatal intensive care unit, where a multidisciplinary approach can be offered. We believe that the elective operation of the cases is an important factor in reducing or preventing maternal morbidity and mortality.

Published: May 2020

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the factors that may affect the pathological diagnosis in pipelle endometrial biopsies.

Material and Methods: Four hundred and twenty endometrial biopsies performed by the same specialist using pipelle were analyzed retrospectively in our outpatient clinic for eleven months. Endometrial samples which were made for diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy and patients who have history of cancer or needed anesthesia for the procedure were excluded from the study. Group 1 was created from 65 patients whose endometrial biopsy were resulted as insufficient endometrial biopsy and Group 2 was created with 173 patients who had sufficient material as a result of biopsy. The effect of demographic information, ultrasound data (presence and localization of leiomyoma, endometrial thickness) and biopsy indications were investigated.

Results: The average age of patients in Group 1 was found to be statistically significantly higher than Group 2, of 238 patients who were investigated retrospectively (p<0,001). Endometrial thickness in Group 1 was statistically lower than Group 2 (p<0,001). Endometrial biopsy indications were frequently observed as postmenopausal bleeding for Group 1 and abnormal uterine bleeding for Group 2.

Conclusion:  According to our opinion that it will be more appropriate to perform dilatation / curettage biopsy, instead of biopsy with pipelle if a need for endometrial sampling is required in older ages especially for the postmenopausal patient group.

Authors: Fragou Olga , Mavroudi Anna
Published: May 2020

Ubiquitous computing, mobile computing and the Internet of Things (UMI) have been widely used in several application areas. To date, methods and techniques for the application of these technologies in real life situations have continued to emerge; however, their use in education settings focusing on existing practices remain largely underexplored. A systematic mapping study (SMS) method was herein used to map initially identified 395 articles with the aims of systematically analyzing and presenting the evidence from the literature on the topic, and to identify important gaps as well as promising research directions. An appropriate methodological protocol has been adopted from the literature for the analysis, filtering, evaluation and report of the evidence. As a result, twenty-five studies have been selected and analyzed. The axes of analyzing systematically the literature were inspired by an existing UMI learning ecology. The analysis revealed important characteristics of existing UMI related educational practices in all levels of education, including  contexts and actors involved, methods and digital tools used, affordances and learning approaches important for achieving effective learning in IoT, Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing domain.

Authors: Demosthenous George , Panaoura Areti , Eteokleous Nikleia
Published: May 2020

Many studies investigated the use of collaboration at conventional teaching environment in different educational levels. The present study examines students’ behavior during a collaborative assignment in an online learning environment in higher education. Data were collected by graduate students who were attending a course at a distance learning master degree program in Special Education. The developed group dynamics and students’ beliefs about their role during the activity were “revealed” by their reactions to the discussion forum, their private e-mails to the instructor, their activity at the platform and their contribution on the assignment, for which the wiki tool was used. Results indicated that although students were at the same time in-service or pre-service teachers at primary and secondary education and they were expected to implement group work at their teaching, they had low self-efficacy beliefs in using it as students in online learning environment. Their major difficulties were related with their fear about possible negative consequences concerning their marks due to other members’ behavior and the lack of experiences. Suggestions on how the group work and the collaborative assignment can be integrated more effectively in an online learning environment in higher education courses are discussed
A Virtual Bridge to Cultural Access: Culturally Relevant Virtual Reality and Its Impact on Science Students
Authors: Brown Bryan A. , Ribay Kathryn , Pérez Greses , Boda Phillip A. , Wilsey Matthew
Published: May 2020

This mixed-methods study examines the implications of using the tenets of culturally relevant pedagogy (CRP) to design an elementary science lesson grounded in four virtual reality (VR) videos. Given the need for additional understandings of how elementary science educators can infuse cultural relevance alongside content development, this study illuminates how designing for CRP can utilize VR as a pedagogical platform to bridge science instruction and students’ lived experiences. Using pre- and post-attitudinal surveys (n=145) and post interviews (n=48), we examined students’ perceptions of a single virtual reality lesson about energy and food chains. The data suggest that learning through a CRP-based VR design (CRP-VR) enhanced students’ perception of the connection between the science content and its socio-political application to social justice issues. Implications highlight the potential of leveraging VR technology as a means to provide science instruction that explicitly affords students the opportunity to connect content learning and social action.

Authors: Ersan Ceyhun , Uslu Banu
Published: May 2020

In this study, the effect of science and research ethics course on preschool teacher candidates’ possible plagiarism behaviors was examined. Fifteen teacher candidates were asked to prepare a written assignment (pre-test) before the start of the course. Similarly, a second written assignment (post-test) was taken at the end of the course which took approximately 12 weeks. Both assignments received from teacher candidates were evaluated in two similarity/plagiarism software programs and the similarity rates of each student's homework were calculated as a percentage. The Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test was used to test whether there was a significant difference between these percentage scores in terms of pre-test and post-test. In addition, teacher candidates’ pre-test and post-test assignments were subjected to document analysis in the context of the matches determined by similarity/plagiarism software programs. According to the findings of the study, it was seen that science and research ethics course could have an effect on possible plagiarism behaviors of teacher candidates. The findings of the study were discussed regarding similarity/plagiarism software programs, course period and literature. Suggestions were made to help teacher candidates and to those who are concerned about avoiding unethical practices.
Strategies and Tools Used for Learner-Centered Instruction
Authors: An Yunjo , Mindrila Diana
Published: May 2020

Learner-centered education has the potential to meet the needs of individual students and better prepare them for a rapidly changing global world. However, it can be a challenging task to implement learner-centered education in the current education system which was designed for sorting rather than learning. Although an increasing number of research studies report that teachers have positive attitudes toward learner-centered education, there is a paucity of research that has examined teachers’ learner-centered practice. To address this gap, this study examined the strategies and tools used by 125 teachers to create learner-centered classrooms using an online survey. Further, the study explored the barriers they faced when using technology to facilitate learner-centered instruction. The strategies and tools used for learner-centered instruction are reported in six major categories: (1) getting to know individual students, (2) building a positive and supportive culture, (3) providing personalized learning experiences, (4) providing authentic learning experiences, (5) facilitating collaborative learning, and (6) facilitating self-regulated learning. The major barriers to using technology to support learner-centered pedagogy included lack of time, lack of technology, lack of knowledge of learner-centered instruction, and standardized tests.

Türkiye’de mobilyanın yaygınlaştığı Cumhuriyetin kuruluşu sonrasındaki dönemde malzeme çeşitliliğindeki azlık ve teknik yetersizliklerden dolayı özgün bir tarz oluşmamıştır. Bunun sonucunda mobilya üretim tekniği kısıtlanmış ve diğer ülkeler tasarım açısından taklit edilmiştir. Cumhuriyetin kuruluşu sonrası devletin oluşturduğu standartlar nedeniyle mobilya sektöründe kullanılan malzemeler yurtdışından getirilmiştir. Apartman dairelerine geçişler modern konut kavramını oluştururken mobilya talebini de artırmıştır. Bunun sonucunda Cumhuriyet Dönemi’nde mobilya sektörü, sosyal değişim ve teknolojik gelişmeleri takip ederek kendini yenilemeye başlamıştır. Batı mobilya ürünlerine yönelimin artması ve bu ürünlerin örnek alınması aynı zamanda özgün tasarımların oluşmasına katkıda bulunmuştur. Türkiye’de 1970’li yıllarda modern tarzda endüstriyel üretim başlamıştır. 2000’li yıllara gelindiğinde ise orta ve büyük ölçekli işletmelerin sayısı giderek artmış ve dünya ölçeğinde mobilya ihracat ve ithalatında sahip olduğu pay büyümüştür. Çalışmada, Türkiye’de mobilya tasarım ve mobilya üretiminin sahip olduğu özelliklerinin daha doğru analiz edilmesi açısından mobilya sektörünün gelişim süreci tüm yönleriyle ele alınmıştır. Bu doğrultuda mobilya tasarım sürecini etkileyen tasarım kriterleri tespit edilerek, mobilya tasarımının mevcut durumu sektörün dünya pazarındaki yerine yönelik veriler kullanılarak aktarılmaya çalışılmıştır.

Published: May 2020

Küresel rekabetin hızla arttığı günümüz koşullarında müşteri beklenti ve taleplerini karşılamanın yolu işletmelerin etkin bir tasarım stratejisi oluşturmasından geçmektedir. Bu bağlamda endüstri ürünleri tasarımı, işletmelerin rakiplerine karşı rekabet üstünlüğü elde etmesinde stratejik bir öneme sahiptir. Konu ile ilgili olarak yapılan bilimsel çalışmalarda işletme verileri ve rekabet edebilirlik arasındaki ilişkinin tasarım aracılığıyla gerçekleştiğine dikkat çekilmektedir. Bu kapsamda yapılan çalışmada tasarımın mobilya, otomotiv ana/yan sanayi, endüstriyel makine sanayinde faaliyet gösteren firmaların işletme verileri ve rekabet edebilirlikteki rolünün istatistiksel analizi yapılmış ve elde edilen bulgular değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmada elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda endüstriyel tasarımın öneminin işletmelerde genel olarak anlaşılır olduğu fakat tasarım yönetimi kabiliyetinin yetersiz olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
Review on Asymmetric Transformations with Chiral Phase-Transfer Catalysts
Authors: Tebeka Tesfaye , Abera Atitegebe
Published: May 2020

This review focuses onasymmetric transformations with Chiral Phase-Transfer Catalysts and its application. Phase-transfer catalysis is practical methodology for organic synthesis. It is possible to achieve highly enantio selective transformations under phase-transfer conditions for a variety of ─C─C─ ─C─O─ and ─C─N─ bond-forming reactions. The asymmetric transformations using modified cinchona alkaloids, chiral spiro ammonium salts and crown ether are among the primary source of effective chiral phase-transfer catalyst, which allows access to enantiomerically pure unnatural amino acids and synthetically useful adducts containing quaternary stereogenic centers. The advantage of this method is its simple experimental procedure, large chiral pool, mild reaction condition, inexpensive, environmentally benign reagent and use of simple and inexpensive reactants. Nowadays, it appears to be the most important synthetic method used in various fields of organic chemistry, and also found widespread industrial applications. This review summarizes the synthesis application, enantio selective transformation of some selected reaction, biological activities and catalytic activities of Phase-transfer catalysis and especial emphasis is given for organo catalysis. In asymmetric organo catalyst, it is possible to obtain chiral organic products in high enantio enriched form by steric hindrance approach method. The advantage of organic molecules as chiral catalysts complements the traditional organo-metallic and biological approaches to asymmetric catalysis.
Measuring Selection Intensities Among Kolam Population: Manifested through Differential Fertility and Differential Mortality
Authors: K Bharathi
Published: May 2020

The objective of the study is to understand the selection intensities among Kolam, a particularly vulnerable tribal group (PVTG) of Adilabad district of Telangana State, India. Two prominent methods were employed to understand the intensities by using Crow’s index and modified formula as given by Johnston and Kensinger’s method. The intensities are computed on the basis of the reproductive history of mother with completed fertility and the results were compared with the available works on populations belonging to Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and India. The Crow’s total index (II) value was found to be 0.3863. The mortality (Im) component was found to be 0.2151 while fertility (If) component was found to be 0.1712. The contribution of mortality component is greater than that of fertility component among the present studied population using Crow’s index. According to Johnston and Kensinger, the total index (II) was found to be 0.6017. Fertility component was found to be 0.2368, prenatal mortality component (Ime) and postnatal mortality component (Ime/Pb) where observed to be 0.0675 and 0.0933 respectively. Therefore, it is clear from the results that postnatal mortality contributes more than prenatal mortality for selection, i.e., Johnston and Kensinger’s Index (0.6017) contributes more towards selection intensity than Crow’s index (0.3863). Natural selection takes place when there is variability of fitness observed through the differences in fertility and mortality in any population.

Dos médicas y una farmacéutica. Las tres primeras licenciadas en la Universidad de Valencia
Authors: Núñez Valdés Juan
Published: May 2020

El objetivo principal de este artículo es mostrar las dificultades de género que sufrían las mujeres de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX para poder acceder a los estudios universitarios en España. Para ejemplificar esta situación  y tras dar unos breves datos sobre las fechas de fundación de las universidades españolas, al objeto de reconocer la antigüedad e importancia de la Universidad de Valencia, se muestran las biografías de tres mujeres nacidas en localidades de la actual Comunidad Valenciana, que tuvieron que luchar duramente con el fin de superar las enormes trabas que les imponían las leyes vigentes de la época para poder matricularse en la Universidad de Valencia, objetivo que finalmente pudieron conseguir y que las hace merecedoras de la condición de referentes ante la sociedad. Ellas fueron las valencianas Concepción Aleixandre Ballester y Manuela Solís Clarás, primeras mujeres en iniciar y terminar sus estudios en esa universidad, ambas licenciadas en Medicina prácticamente a la vez, en 1889, y la alicantina María Dolores Martínez Rodríguez, licenciada cuatro años más tarde, en 1893, en Farmacia.
Naturaleza y hormigón. Espai Verd
Authors: Calleja Molina Manuel
Published: May 2020

Espai Verd, obra del estudio de arquitectura CSPT bajo la dirección de Antonio Cortés Ferrando, es una singular edificación de arquitectura modular en el espacio, situada en el barrio de Benimaclet, Valencia. Data de principios de la década de los 80, y fue realizada mediante el sistema de cooperativa de propietarios. El concepto principal, del que parte el proyecto, es el de materializar viviendas con jardín individual, dispuestas en un edificio plurifamiliar en altura. Consecuentemente, la principal característica de la obra es la integración de la naturaleza como parte intrínseca de la edificación y el necesario desarrollo de un sistema constructivo capaz de albergar la vegetación, donde destaca el empleo de hormigón visto, tanto in situ como prefabricado. El diseño fue influenciado por las tendencias arquitectónicas propias de la época, el brutalismo y las megaestructuras, además de contar con numerosos referentes particulares como obras de Moshe Safdie, Ricardo Bofill y José Antonio Coderch, entre otros. El texto expone algunas de las estrategias y decisiones realizadas en este proyecto que condicionan el aspecto formal del edificio y, a su vez, ponen de manifiesto la estrecha relación entre naturaleza y hormigón para Espai Verd.
La Significación de la Textura
Authors: García Clariana Inés
Published: May 2020

No hay imagen sin imaginación y forma sin formación, así comienza Georges Didi-Huberman en Cuando las imágenes tocan lo real. Parafraseando a Huberman, e invadiendo el ámbito tectónico a escala de detalle –quizá– cabría preguntarse si existe textura sin intención y textura sin significación. La respuesta sería no, no existe. Las imágenes significan y las imágenes representan, de manera figurativa, un algo. Las texturas están llenas de intenciones, en mayor o menor medida, y dotadas de significado. Como define Marzal en sus reflexiones sobre la comunicación visual de la imagen, "la textura es un elemento visual que posee, al tiempo, cualidades ópticas y táctiles. Este último aspecto es el más sobresaliente, ya que la textura es un elemento visual que sensibiliza y caracteriza materialmente las superficies de los objetos".
Teatro Saint-Nazaire

Saint-Nazaire, Francia, 2012

El teatro se inspira en sus materiales y en el estilo existente de su entorno inmediato. Su volumen mineral monolítico toma inspiración del concepto de gran búnker y su forma rugosa de los diseños vecinos. En algunas partes el hormigón es suave, en otras cincelado; y en toda su superfie está adornado con un patrón de impresión floral que proporciona un enlace clásico con las estaciones ferroviarias y los teatros románticos.
