Published: November 2019

In order to study shutdown and re-start in heavy crude oil pipelines, a model was developed. It simulates, in a transient state, the behavior of pressure, flow and temperature variables, averaged over the cross-sectional area and as a function of time and the axial coordinate. The model was validated with actual operational data from a test case. Results obtained for different operating points, stopping time, crude properties, topographies and lengths are presented. Additionally, the governing equations are converted to dimensionless expressions in order to obtain the dimensionless numbers relevant to the re-start operation for crude oil pipelines.
Burton Mack's A Myth of Innocence as Can(n)on Criticism
Authors: Woolverton Greg
Published: November 2019

Burton Mack's Myth of Innocence may be seen as canon criticism. The book contests the function of the narrative gospel of Mark as a charter document for contemporary American self-identity. Mack deploys a noncanonical reading strategy of rhetorical analysis and narratological criticism in order to dislodge the text from its canonical status and function.bThe resistance of Mark's gospel to its function as the American myth of innocence is found in its distance from the earliest Jesus movements and texts. Once uncovered that distance makes clear the nature of Mark's ideological manipulation of his sources, which undermines the plausibility of the Jesus story told in the gospel. The real events of the gospel are not the story told but the social formation of objects that leave their trace on the text.
Sister Insider/Outsider
Authors: Jones Kathleen
Published: November 2019

Religious studies as an academic pursuit is heir to the ideal of objectivity traditionally pursued in the social sciences.  Consequently, some scholars dismiss theology from religious studies on the grounds that it is not appropriately distant from its subject matter.  On the basis of this distinction the vast array of theological material available to religious studies scholars has been discounted as unusable, despite providing much needed insight into religious beliefs and behaviors.  In this paper, I argue that theological material as a whole should not be discounted as a source of religious studies scholarship and critique and conclude that it is necessary to reconsider the place of theological texts within religious studies discourse.  This reconsideration is necessary because critical theologies can use methods and include analysis that conform to the critical academic standards of religious studies.
Did the Ways Part? New Models in Judean/Christian Relations
Authors: Kok Michael
Published: November 2019

In this paper I reconsider the evidence for the traditional “Parting of the Ways” model, which posits an official separation of Judaism and Christianity between 70 and 135 CE.  I argue that neither Rabbinic Judaism nor Centrist (or proto-orthodox) Christianity obtained hegemony in the second century CE, but that many diverse groups on the Judaeo-Christian spectrum continued to interact and engage with one another in an attempt to formulate their own distinctiveness.
Jesters, Jongleurs, Clowns and other Unsavoury Types

This essay will explore the role of the repentant woman in Benedicta Ward’s Harlots of the Desert. Ward’s argument asserts that both men and women in the early centuries of Christianity had to undertake the task of overcoming their gender in order to become holy men and women, in either a monastic setting or as a desert dwelling hermit. I will argue that the task of overcoming gender in order to be in closer proximity to holiness in the early centuries of the church was a more difficult task for women than for men. This is because women had to first become like men, and then genderless, whereas men had simply to overcome one gender role. This paper will explore the evidence for such a claim by examining the textual evidence of early hagiographies present in Ward’s book.

Shallots (Allium cepa var. aggregatum) is one of the vegetable commodities whose demand continues to increase in line with population growth. The purpose of this community service program to disseminate the results of research on how to produce true seed of shallot (TSS) then plant TSS to produce mini bulbs as seeds of shallots. The target audience was the farmers group Tani Mulya in Tawangargo Village, Karangploso Sub-District, Malang Regency, East Java. Activities step included preparation, socialization, demonstration plot of shallot bulbs planting to produce TSS and planting TSS, to produce mini bulbs as seeds of shallot. Batu Ijo variety grown to produce TSS, while planting of TSS used Tri Sula and Keta Monca varieties. This activitity was done well according to a Likert scale of 4.3 (good category = 4–4.9). Farmers were able to adopt the technology of TSS production and planting of TSS to produce shallot mini bulbs of seeds, with indication of the production of TSS and mini bulbs. The flowering of shallot plants 55.5 and TSS seed weight 10.16 g/m2. Bulbs seed of Batu Ijo variety produced large bulbs, while TSS from Tri Sula and Keta Monca varieties produced mini bulbs that can be used as seeds. The change of the shallot seeds technology from bulbs to TSS will be economically beneficial, because the TSS required less than bulbs, so the cost difference is quite large. TSS needs 3–5 kg/ha (TSS price IDR 1.200.000/kg), and bulbs seed needs 1–1.5 ton/ha (bulbs price IDR 30.000/kg), so the margin is IDR 24.000.000 per hectare.

Published: November 2019

Aortic diseases are a significant cardiovascular health problem and occur in different ways across the vascular tree. Investigation of the mechanical properties of the aorta is important for better understanding of aortic diseases. In this study, the biomechanical and biochemical properties of the ovine aorta have been comprehensively mapped across different regions from the ascending to the abdominal aorta. We have determined the mechanical properties at the macro- (via tensile testing) and at the micro-scale (via oscillatory nanoindentation). Uniaxial tensile testing was conducted on circumferential strips for the ascending, upper thoracic region and upper abdominal region to determine physiological elastic modulus, tangent modulus at 0.5 strain, and the maximum elastic modulus. Nanoindentation was conducted on the medial layer (tissue cross-section) and intimal and adventitial face (longitudinal orientation) to determine the shear storage (G′) and shear loss modulus (G″). All of the measured mechanical properties increased with distance from the heart. For example, G′ increased by 237.1% and 275.3% for the intimal face and adventitial face, respectively. In parallel, collagen, glycosaminoglycans (GAG) and elastin levels were also measured across the entire length of the ovine aorta. The mechanical properties correlated with increasing collagen, and decreasing GAG and elastin. Collagen increased by 147.2% whereas GAG (−120.3%) and elastin decreased (−78.2%). These findings have relevance for developing mechanistic insight into aortic aneurysms and dissections.
Muutosmallit Helsingin puhekielessä
Authors: Kuparinen Olli , Mustanoja Liisa , Peltonen Jaakko , Santaharju Jenni , Leino Unni
Published: November 2019

Artikkeli soveltaa William Labovin kehittämää ja sosiolingvistisessä tutkimuksessa keskeiseksi noussutta muutosmalliteoriaa Helsingin puhekielen pitkittäiskorpukseen, joka koostuu haastatteluista 1970-, 1990- ja 2010-luvuilta. Artikkeli tutkii, muuttuvatko Helsingin puhekielen piirteet muutosmallien mukaisesti. Samalla tarkastellaan muutosmallien teorian taustaoletuksia ja ongelmakohtia.

Tutkimus osoittaa, että Helsingin puhekielestä löytyy vähintään yksi yhteensopiva piirre kaikkiin muutosmalleihin. Osa malleista näyttää kuitenkin esiintyvän hyvin spesifeissä tilanteissa. Kaikkein yleisimmältä muutosmallilta vaikuttaa sukupolvittainen muutos, jota onkin pidetty tavallisena muutoksen tapana. Samalla havaitaan, että muutosmallien ja muutoksen vaiheen välillä näyttää olevan yhteys: esimerkiksi sukupolvittainen muutos vaikuttaa tavalliselta muutoksen tavalta tilanteissa, joissa piirre on yksinomaistumassa tai katoamassa käytöstä.

Artikkeli osoittaa myös, että yksittäinen muutosmalli toteutuu harvoin yli kolmen aikapisteen. Kahden aikapisteen välillä yhdeltä muutosmallilta näyttänyt tendenssi saattaakin kolmannessa aikapisteessä pysähtyä, kääntyä tai harpata eteenpäin. Labovin alkuperäisen ajatuksen mukaan näennäisaikamenetelmä ei voi erottaa toisistaan muutosmalleja. Tämä tutkimus osoittaa, että myös kahden aikapisteen reaaliaikatutkimus on altis tulkintavirheille.

Tutkimus tuottaa myös uutta tietoa Helsingin puhekielen nykyvariaatiosta. Muutosmallien teorian tarkastelun yhteydessä havaitaan esimerkiksi, että yleiskielen ts:n vastineeksi on Helsingin puhekielen aineistossa vakiintumassa astevaihtelu tt ~ t, ja että paikallissijojen loppuheitto näyttää tasaisen variaation piirteeltä, jossa ei ole meneillään muutosta.
Havaintoja varhaisnykysuomen kehityksestä erään käännöksen valossa
Authors: Järventausta Marja
Published: November 2019

Tiivistelmä

Varhaisnykysuomen kausi merkitsi suomen kirjakielen vakiintumista aluemurteiden värittämästä kirjoitetusta kielestä kohti yhtenäistä kirjakieltä. Muutokset koskivat kielen kaikkia osa-alueita ja ne tapahtuivat varsin lyhyen ajan kuluessa. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan äänne-, muoto- ja lauseopin alalla tapahtuneita muutoksia vertailemalla neljää vuosien 1836 ja 1864 välillä ilmestynyttä suomennosta Christoph von Schmidin kasvattavasta ja opettavasta lapsille ja nuorille tarkoitetusta kertomuksesta Wie Heinrich von Eichenfels zur Erkenntniß Gottes kam (1817). Ensikäännös, sen uusi laitos vuodelta 1846 ja uuden laitoksen uusi painos vuodelta 1862 ovat kaikki Otto Tarvasen käsialaa, vuonna 1864 ilmestyneen uudelleensuomennoksen kääntäjä on jäänyt tuntemattomaksi. Käännösten kieltä tutkitaan osana varhaisnykysuomen kirjallista kielenkäyttöä, ja painopiste on sellaisissa kielenpiirteissä, jotka erottavat käännöksiä toisistaan. Runsaan esimerkkiaineiston avulla havainnollisetaan käännösten välisiä äänne-, muoto- ja lauseopillisia muutoksia ja samalla varhaisnykysuomen kielessä tapahtunutta kehitystä.

Verrattavien käännösten sanemäärä vaihtelee vajaasta yhdeksästä hieman yli kymmeneen tuhanteen. Näin laajan aineiston pohjalta saadaan tietoa verrattavien kielenpiirteiden yleisyydestä eri käännöksissä ja samalla myös tietoa kielen eri tasoilla tapahtuneista muutoksista. Tutkittujen käännösten perusteella äännepiirteet näyttävät vakiintuneen melko nopeasti, mutta muotopiirteissä itä- ja länsimurteiden välistä tasapainoa on jouduttu hakemaan pidempään. Lauseopin alalla yhteisen normin hahmottuminen kesti pisimpään, sillä vaikka taitavimmat kirjakielenkäyttäjät olivat päässeet eroon vanhan kirjasuomen muukalaisuuksista, käännöskirjallisuudessa ne säilyivät vielä pitkään.

Beside some basic statistical tools, a multinomial discrete choice model was used to analyze and evaluate the major factors affecting marketing channel choices. From the main results of this study, it was concluded that downstream vertical integration practices are lead by income-related risks minimization, and the upstream vertical integration is favorable for further downstream vertical integration. The research would provide valuable information about the date palm producer’s marketing decision-making process and thus would contribute to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of dates industry in Algeria.
Provide a New Encryption Algorithm for Medical Images and Evaluate the Proposed Algorithm
Authors: Lotfi Mehdi , Kheiri Hossein , Jabbari Azizeh
Published: November 2019

Introduction:  In this paper, an encryption algorithm for the security of medical images is presented, which has extraordinary security. Given that the confidentiality of patient data is one of the priorities of medical informatics, the algorithm can be used to store and send medical image.Material and Methods:  In this paper, the solutions of chaotic differential equations are used to generate encryption keys. This method is more than other methods used in encoding medical images, resistant to statistics attacks, low encryption and decryption time and very high key space. In the proposed algorithm, unlike other methods that use random key generation, this method uses the production of solutions of the chaotic differential equations in a given time period for generating a key. All simulations and coding are done in MATLAB software.Results:   Chaotic Differential Equations have two very important features that make it possible to encode medical images. One is the unpredictability of the system's behavior and the other is a severe sensitivity to the initial condition.Conclusion: These two features make the method resistant to possible attacks to decode the concept of synchronization chaotic systems. Using the results of the method, medical information can be made safer than existing ones.

Introduction: Medical tourism is the most important aspect of health tourism. The responsibilities of this industry are mostly undertaken by agencies and facilitators acting as intermediaries between patients and service providers. As a key factor, websites provide extensive services to patients for a better presence in medical tourism market. The present study aimed to compare medical tourism websites and facilitators in Iran and other countries using correspondence analysis.Method: Websites were selected based on the specified criteria such as content of websites which were examined using content analysis technique. The data belonging to website content were classified into two groups including medical and tourism services and information and communication issues. Correspondence analysis was done using two R packages (FactoMineR for analysis and fact extra for data visualization).Results: Of 42 selected websites, 19 was belonged to Iran, 11 to North America, 7 to South and Central America, and 5 to Asia. Medical tourism facilitators in North America and Asia tend to provide modern contact and legal information. Against Iranians' facilitators tend to show traditional contact and general information. South American websites provide more information about hospital accreditation. Iranian websites emphasized tourism-related information. Whereas, North American’s are emphasized on cost-comparison lists.Conclusion: Results of the present study provide a snapshot of status of data provided on websites in terms of medical, tourist and communication services available in the studied websites and clearly showed that Iranian medical tourism facilitator websites act differently from those of other countries. Websites play important roles for guiding customers to make decisions regarding the medical journey. Therefore, Iranian medical tourism facilitator websites must reduce their differences with those of other countries in order to be more actively participate and earn more profit in this competitive market.

Published: November 2019

Introduction: Thresholding is one of the most important parts of segmentation whenever we want to detect a specific part of image. There are several thresholding methods that previous researchers used them frequently as bi-level techniques such as DBT or multilevel such as 3S. New histogram feature thresholding method is implemented to detect lesion area in digital mammograms and compared with 3S (Shrinking-Search-Space) multithresholding and FCM method in terms of segmentation quality and segmentation time as a benchmark in thresholding.Materials and Methods: These algorithms have been tested on 188 digital mammograms. Digital mammogram image used after preprocessing which was including crop the unnecessary area, resize the image into 1024 by 1024 pixel and then normalize pixel values by using simple contrast stretching method.Results: The results show that suggested method results are not similar with 3S and FCM methods, and it is faster than other methods. This is another superiority of suggested method with respect to others. Results of previous studies showed that FCM is not a reliable clustering algorithm and it needs several run to give us a reliable result (1). Results of this study also showed that this approach is correct.Conclusions: The suggested method may used as a reliable thresholding method in order to detection of lesion area.

Introduction: The personal health record of patient with autism has not been adequately addressed. While, these records play an important role to provide a good perspective on how to diagnose autism, negotiating, coordinating and designing services and interventions by families and physicians during delivery of multiple services. The present study is aimed to present a conceptual model of electronic personal health record for patients with autism.Material and Methods: This study was conducted on six psychiatric practitioners and six pediatricians from Raoul-e-Akram Hospital and Ali Asghar Hospital with purposeful sampling. A questionnaire has been used for data gathering and identifying information needs. The content validity was measured using expert panel method and test-retest method (r=0.79) was used to perform the reliability test.Results: According to the findings, the most important data elements of the conceptual model of the personal health record for patients with autism from the viewpoint of physicians are divided into two demographic data segments including first name, father's name, national code, Age, gender, marital status, address and telephone, and clinical data including maternal gestational age, family history, parental relationship, history of developmental delay, name of patient's drug use, test results, age of the first diagnosis of autism , seizure, mental retardation, early diagnosis, treatment history and individual function level (based on valid clinical scales) such as a general clinical measure .Conclusion: Since autism patients’ long life clinical information that recorded in their electronic health records system plays an important role in diagnosis and management of patients' clinical problems, the conceptual model of personal health record for patients with autism could have a significant effect in managing and integrating patient clinical information, increasing the quality of care, and reducing the cost of treatment and diagnosis.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kurangnya pengetahuan gender dari 20 guru di dua sekolah dasar di Padang. Diasumsikan bahwa guru di sekolah dasar penting untuk memiliki pengetahuan gender. Ini karena sekolah dasar adalah pendidikan dasar bagi siswa dalam membangun karakter mereka dan membangun pola pikir mereka, terutama pola pikir dengan kesadaran gender dan sikap sensitivitas gender. Jadi guru tanpa bias gender dan kurangnya pengetahuan gender memainkan peran penting untuk menyebarkan kepekaan gender dan kesadaran gender secara luas untuk melawan bias gender dan diskriminasi terhadap perempuan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan menggunakan wawancara mendalam dan mendistribusikan kuesioner kepada 20 guru di 2 sekolah dasar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar guru di kedua sekolah dasar ini kurang memiliki pengetahuan tentang konsep gender dan agak sulit untuk membedakan antara definisi jenis kelamin dan konsep gender. Kurangnya pengetahuan sampai batas tertentu mempengaruhi proses pembelajaran dengan beberapa bias gender dalam menghadapi murid-murid mereka dalam kegiatan sekolah. Disarankan dalam meningkatkan proses sosialisasi pengetahuan gender di sekitar guru sekolah dasar.
