Authors: Garceau Simon , Warschawski Yaniv , Dahduli Omar , Alshaygy Ibrahim , Wolfstadt Jesse , Backstein David
Published: August 2019

Aims

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of transferring patients to a specialized arthroplasty centre between the first and second stages (interstage) of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) of the knee.

Patients and Methods

A search of our institutional database was performed to identify patients having undergone two-stage revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for PJI. Two cohorts were created: continuous care (CC) and transferred care (TC). Baseline characteristics and outcomes were collected and compared between cohorts.

Results

A total of 137 patients were identified: 105 in the CC cohort (56 men, 49 women; mean age 67.9) and 32 in the TC cohort (17 men, 15 women; mean age 67.8 years). PJI organism virulence was greater in the CC cohort (36.2% vs 15.6%; p = 0.030). TC patients had a higher rate of persisting or recurrent infection (53.6% vs 13.4%; p < 0.001), soft-tissue complications (31.3 vs 14.3%; p = 0.030), and reduced requirement for porous metal augments (78.1% vs 94.3%; p = 0.006). Repeat first stage debridement after transfer led to greater need for plastic surgical procedures (58.3% vs 0.0%; p < 0.001).

Conclusion

Patient transfer during the interstage of treatment for infected TKA leads to poorer outcomes compared with patients receiving all their treatment at a specialized arthroplasty centre. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2019;101-B:1087–1092.

Published: August 2019

Aims

The aim of this study was to explore risk factors for complications associated with dural tear (DT), including the types of DT, and the intra- and postoperative management of DT.

Patients and Methods

Between 2012 and 2017, 12 171 patients with degenerative lumbar diseases underwent primary lumbar spine surgery. We investigated five categories of potential predictors: patient factors (sex, age, body mass index, and primary disease), surgical factors (surgical procedures, operative time, and estimated blood loss), types of DT (inaccessible for suturing/clipping and the presence of cauda equina/nerve root herniation), repair techniques (suturing, clipping, fibrin glue, polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogel, and polyglycolic acid sheet), and postoperative management (drainage duration). Postoperative complications were evaluated in terms of dural leak, prolonged bed rest, headache, nausea/vomiting, delayed wound healing, postoperative neurological deficit, surgical site infection (SSI), and reoperation for DT. We performed multivariable regression analyses to evaluate the predictors of postoperative complications associated with DT.

Results

In total, 429/12 171 patients (3.5%) had a DT. Multivariable analysis revealed that PEG hydrogel significantly reduced the incidence of dural leak and prolonged bed rest, and that patients treated with sealants (fibrin glue and PEG hydrogel) significantly less frequently suffered from headache. A longer drainage duration significantly increased the incidence of headache, nausea/vomiting, and delayed wound healing. Headache and nausea/vomiting were significantly more prevalent in younger female patients. Postoperative neurological deficit and reoperation for DT significantly depended on the presence of cauda equina/nerve root herniation. A longer operative time was the sole independent risk factor for SSI and was also a risk factor for dural leak, prolonged bed rest, and nausea/vomiting.

Conclusion

Sealants, particularly PEG hydrogel, may be useful in reducing symptoms related to cerebrospinal fluid leakage, whereas prolonged drainage may be unnecessary. Younger female patients should be carefully treated when DT occurs. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2019;101-B:1115–1121.
Trends in digitalization of intralogistics and the critical success factors of its implementation
Authors: Winkler Hannes , Zinsmeister Lena
Published: September 2019

Goal: Digitalization is a maior trend in intralogistics, both for academia and for the industry. This paper gives an overview on current intralogistic trends, the critical success factors of digitalization projects in intralogistics and the results of an online survey regarding these trends and success factors.

Design / Methodology / Approach: Literature reviews for both intralogistic trends and the success factors of the implementation were validated using an online survey with 105 intralogistic professionals, both from academia and industry.

Results: Both trends and success factors could be validated and brought into a ranking regarding their importance.

Limitations of the investigation: The online survey had a limited number of respondends and, even though all trends were provided with a short explanation, different interpretations or understandings of trends and success factors might have been present. Moreover, some trends and success factors have a certain overlap and the differences are not always clear.

Practical implications: The survey and the description of intralogistic trends and success factors allow practitioners to better understand, structure and prioritize their implementation projects and possibly to increase their success rate.

Originality / Value: There are several studies on general logistic trends and a few studies regarding success factors for digitalization, mostly in the field of ERP implementation. The presented research and online survey are a contribution to the specific field of trends and success factors in digitalization of intralogistics.
Sustainable practices and the relationship with suppliers in SSCM: a case study in wholesale
Authors: Silva Rosa Arthur Antonio , Abdala Etienne Cardoso , Cezarino Luciana Oranges
Published: September 2019

Goal: The present study aimed to analyze how sustainability of suppliers affect the sustainability of a wholesaler-distributor located in the city of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Design / Methodology / Approach: A qualitative approach was chosen using the case study and content analysis as methodologies and the main instrument for data collection was the interview.

Results: The results suggest a direct relationship between the sustainability of the focal company and that of supply chain members, so that the alignment of Triple Botton Line (TBL) practices along the chain is essential to emphasize the effects of these practices and for the company to be considered sustainable, as indicated by sustainable supply chain concepts.

Limitations of the investigation: The main limitation was the use of a single case study, which does not allow the generalization of results to other companies.

Practical implications: It was possible to analyze the relationship between the sustainable practices of suppliers and the focal company to confirm the need to align sustainable practices throughout the supply chain. The results suggest that companies could improve their performance in environmental, social and economic terms if they observe and evaluate the sustainability of their suppliers, reducing environmental risks and future losses.

Originality / Value: In terms of literature, this is a topic that has not been explored yet in terms of the applicability of sustainability in the supply chain, especially in practical issues in the wholesale sector.
Digital transformation technologies as an enabler for sustainable logistics and supply chain processes – an exploratory framework
Authors: Junge Anna Lisa
Published: September 2019

Goal: The aim is to present a literature review for identifying digital transformation technologies (DTT) for manufacturing and pointing out their capabilities and applications. Furthermore, the paper lays out an exploratory framework to depict the impact scope of the cases on logistics and supply chain management (L&SCM) processes.

Design / Methodology / Approach: The identification of relevant DTTs and their capabilities is based on a systematic literature review. The exploratory framework builds upon Industry 4.0 concepts and frameworks as well as the conditions for sustainable digital artefacts. It is then related to cases found in the systematic literature review.

Results: The results indicate that the DTT auto identification, additive manufacturing, and cloud technology lead to improvements concerning transparency efficiency, optimizing distribution distances and logistics resources in networks. The framework presents an avenue for assessing the impact scope and potentials of implementing DTT.

Limitations of the investigation: The literature base limits the findings since it is built upon two databases and is restricted to articles published in English. The theoretically deduced framework accounts for the dimensions technologies, the SCOR model and RAMI architecture. The illustration is simplified but can be detailed according to the needs. It is not tested based on case studies and should therefore be applied in practice to further develop it.

Practical implications: Practitioners gain insight into how to anchor potential use cases for more sustainable L&SCM processes in the framework.

Originality / Value: This paper is the first to relate the capabilities of DTT to more sustainable L&SCM processes in manufacturing by means of a systematic literature review and link the findings to an exploratory framework.
Effect of luteolin on apoptosis, MAPK and JNK signaling pathways in guinea pig chondrocyte with osteoarthritis
Authors: Xue Jianli , Ye Jintao , Xia Zhuqing , Cheng Bin
Published: August 2019

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease usually seen in the elderly, which incidence increases with age. Its pathogenesis and underlying mechanism are still unclear. The disease severely affects the physical health and life quality of patients, thereby constituting a huge economic burden to family and society. Luteolin (LUT) is a natural flavonoid with multiple pharmacological properties. Many plants containing LUT have been applied in the treatment of several inflammation-related diseases due the relatively strong anti-inflammatory effects of LUT. The present study investigated the influence of LUT on cell apoptosis and inflammatory reactions in cartilage of OA guinea pigs, and its underlying mechanism. It was found that LUT effectively inhibited proliferation of OA cartilage cells, down-regulated the expressions of JNK and p38MAPK in cartilage cells of OA, and downregulated NO, TNF-Î± and IL-6. Thus, it alleviated inflammatory reactions, protected cartilage cells, and delayed cartilage degeneration.
S3440P Substitution in C-Terminal Region of Human Reelin Dramatically Impairs Secretion of Reelin from HEK 293T cells
Authors: Esmaeilzadeh-Gharehdaghi Elika , Razmara Ehsan , Bitaraf Amirreza , Mahmoudi Mahdi , Garshasbi Masoud
Published: August 2019

Reelin is a large extracellular glycoprotein secreted by Cajal–Retzius cells and has a main role during brain development, especially in neuronal migration. Reelin is comprised of N-terminal F-Spondin like domain, eight tandem repeats, and a highly conserved basic C-Terminal Region (CTR). The CTR main role in the secretion of Reelin has been investigated by advertently inducing deletion in whole or a part of this region; however, the role of CTR point mutations on the secretion of Reelin is shrouded in mystery. In this study, we performed experimental analyses on a sub-region of Human Reelin containing 5th and 6th repeats (R5-R6), a part of 8th repeat and the CTR which were amplified from cDNA of K562 and HEPG2(HepatocellularG2) cells and cloned into a mammalian expressional plasmid (pVP22/myc-His). Bioinformatics investigation was performed on the CTR at both level of nucleotide and amino acid as well as mutant type. Random mutagenesis by error-prone PCR method was utilized to induce mutation in the CTR. The secretion efficiency of recombinant wild-type and mutant Reelin constructs compared in cell lysate and supernatant isolated from the transiently transfected HEK 293T cells using 6XHistag ELISA method. In-vitro study demonstrated that the CTR alteration (S3440P) leads to impairment of Reelin secretion even after overexpression. Our results indicate that S3440P substitution is the highly conserved structure of the CTR has an important effect on Reelin secretion.
Effect of native growth promoting bacteria and commercial biofertilizers on growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum) and barley (Hordeum vulgare) under salinity stress conditions

Published: August 2019

Salinity is one of the main obstacles to the production of crops in dry regions of the world. This study focuses on the effects of different strains of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) isolated from native soils on the physiological responses of wheat and barley plants under normal and salt stress conditions. Soil samples were collected from a field in Ilam province, in Iran and bacterial isolates were isolated and screened for salt tolerance, included siderophore and ACC-deaminase production and phosphate solubilizing. Thereafter a two-years greenhouse experiment was conducted as a completely randomized block design with four replications. The applied treatments included bacterial inoculation at five levels (B0: non-inoculation, B1: Siderophore producing + salt-tolerant bacteria, B2: phosphate solubilizing + salt-tolerant bacteria, B3: ACC-deaminase producing + salt-tolerant bacteria, B4: Barvar-2 biological fertilizer, B5: Biofarm-2 biological fertilizer) and salt stress at three levels (S1: 0 dS/m, S2: 4 dS/m, S3: 8 dS/m). Results showed that phosphate solubilizing+ salt-tolerant bacteria resulted in the highest barley grain yield at 4 dS/m salinity level and had no significant difference with ACC-deaminase producing + salt-tolerant bacteria and Barvar-2 biological fertilizer and Biofarm-2 biological fertilizer. The highest proline content in wheat and barley observed in Siderophore producing+ salt-tolerant bacteria at 8 dS/m by 17.48 and 23.42, respectively, followed by phosphate solubilizing+ salt-tolerant bacteria by 16.53 and 19.78. Therefore, the application of isolated growth promoting bacteria can be recommended as an effective biofertilizer in Ilam province.
A new mechanism of the protamine-dependent hypotension after cardiopulmonary bypass and the role of calcium
Authors: Aydin Suna , Aydin Suleyman
Published: August 2019

Heparin and protamine are two indispensable agents of cardiopulmonary bypass surgery with effects on the cardiovascular and hematological system. Heparin is used as an anticoagulant in open heart surgery; whereas protamine is used to neutralize heparin effects when surgery is terminated. Protamine is given in order to neutralize heparin effects after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery and it causes hypotension in patients. However, the mechanism of this side effect is not clearly known. Current mechanism is that hypotension occurs after the administration of protamine due to the conformational change in the calcium channels or anaphylactoid thromboxane release or serum ionized calcium levels. The present study was to explain how protamine causes hypotension in evidence-based medicine indexed in PubMed and Web of Science. In addition to above  mechanisms, possibly  the infused protamine binds heparin and causes the coagulation cascade to activate heparin-AT complex on thrombin beside activating FXIa, FXa and FIXa and causing the re-use of Ca2+. The re-use of Ca2+ at the coagulation cascade initiates an anion gap and it is assumed that hypotension develops because of the Ca2+ deficiency. Ca2+ ions are trapped in the thrombus by the resumption of thrombus formation. Ca2+ ions trapped in the thrombus cannot be used, so that Ca2+ ion deficit will develop in circulation and hypotension occurs due to the insufficiency of Ca2+ ions. The administration of Ca2+ ions together with the protamine might help to eliminate the side effect of the protamine (hypotension) while neutralizing heparin after open heart surgery in light of the information provided in the literature.

Published: September 2019

Background

To investigate the associations between adiposity and attained height over a 2-year period in healthy adolescents.

Methods

One thousand and seventeen adolescents aged 12–18 years participated in this cohort study; 893 (87.8%) were reevaluated 1 year later (T2) and 734 (72.2%) subjects 2 years later (T3). Body fat and anthropometry were measured according to standardized procedures. Socioeconomic status, pubertal stage and lifestyles determinants were gathered and used as confounders. Prospective associations between adiposity and height were examined using generalized linear models.

Results

Greater adiposity at T1 was significantly associated with a lower attained height over time, when adjusting for confounders, which varied between 0.03 and 1 cm in T2 and 0.1 and 1 cm in T3.

Conclusions

Excess of adiposity in early adolescence may exert an effect on attained height in late adolescence. This study supports future lifestyles intervention studies aiming at preventing overweight and obesity and improving attained height.
Risk index to monitor an anaerobic digester using a dynamic model based on dilution rate, temperature, and pH

Published: September 2019

In this work, a risk index to monitor an anaerobic digestion process is established. The index is derived from the dynamical analysis of the system and it is composed by two conditions ensuring an optimum operating conditions inside bioreactor. The analysis is performed using bifurcation theory in order to study the effects of dilution rate, temperature and pH parameters at behavior system. For these purpose an extended version of the mathematical model proposed by Bernard [1] involving the dependence of growth kinetics on temperature and pH is used. The analysis shows both microbial growth and the performance of the bioprocess, when is highly affected by these parameters, indeed the washout condition occurs by combining a fold bifurcation and a transcritical bifurcation. From bifurcation diagrams both safety and optimal operation regions of the bioreactor are defined. Consequently, based on two conditions of stability a risk index to monitor the bioprocess on-line is proposed. The index is evaluated via numerical simulations allowing to detect system destabilization. The results obtained in this work may provide a useful methodology to monitor an anaerobic process and to guarantee the optimal performance of the bioreactor given that the model is sufficiently accurate.

Overweight and obesity is currently a growing burden, according several research data from National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) in Malaysia, shows that in 1999 overweight were at 16,6%, obesity 4.5%; in 2006, overweight were at 29.1%, obesity 14%, in 2011 overweight were, 29.4%, obesity 15.1% and in 2015 overweight were 30%, obesity 17.7%. Suggesting that there is parallel prevalence increase, in this sedentary life style in 2015 compared to 1999. Overweight and obesity affects multiple factor such as shifting lifestyles, urbanization, rising income and influence the genetic make-up of life. Currently, it is a great concerned in Malaysia, because it is a risk factor for most inflammatory disease such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and type 2 diabetes, stroke and chronic inflammatory disease, Recent information by Malaysian health minister, won that the country is facing overweight and obesity pandemic problem showing that half of Malaysian population were either overweight or obese. In addition, the latest estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO), show that almost 14% of the country's citizens fall under the ''obese'' category in Malaysia. A further 40% are overweight. Evidence has shown that PMPs interact with sub-endothelial matrix to mobilise monocytes and neutrophils that favour foam cells formation. PMPs play an important role in the transport and delivery of bioactive molecules that can signal inflammation and promote aberrant angiogenesis in diseases such as atherosclerosis, diabetic retinopathy and cancers in overweight. PMPs may affect target cells either by stimulating them via surface-expressed ligands or by transferring surface receptors from one cell to the others. The modulation effect of omega-3 fatty acid (EPA/DHA) from salmon on platelets and endothelial cell markers has been established. American Heart Foundation in collaboration with Committee on Evaluation, Prevention and Detection recommends 250 to 300 mg of cooked salmon per day for the treatment of high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases. Yellow stripe scad (YSS) is a local Malaysian fish, recently identified to increase HDL-C in overweight subjects. However, the atheroprotective effect of omega-3 fatty acid from YSS on PMPs markers in overweight and obese healthy individuals is still unclear. Thus, the aim of this article is to explore the nutritional value (EPA/DHA) of YSS Fish fillet on platelet microparticles markers that predetermine overweight and obesity risk factors of atherosclerosis.
English Vocabulary in the Mind of Student

Published: September 2019

Lecturer plays an important role in teaching Englishas a foreign language, in spite of the success of teaching English itself depends on the many factors, one of them is students’ participation in the English class. In the other words, the teaching of English becomes useful and more systematically when the lecturer is fully aware of the aims and values of teaching of English subject since the core principle of any teaching  is “know what you do and only do what you know”. Hence it is essential to understand the aims and values of teaching English. In linguistics study,performance and competence are different, competence is study about language rules in the abstract form or one’s capacity to use a language, while performance is the application of one’s ability in the concrete form, or the actual application of this competence in speaking or listening. Chomsky (1965:18) said that  performance is the effect or the application of competence. Further he said that clearly, the actual data of linguistic performance will provide much evidence for determining the correctness of hypotheses about underlining linguistic structure. Notice the following figure. The data collection procedures in the present study are based on classroom participant observation, student interviews, and questionnaire  are the primary sources of data collection. As a point of departure, unstructured interviews conducted with English and students to gain initial understanding of the learning English as a foreign language. This also serves as a pilot study, paving the way for designing the guidelines for the semi structured individual interviews. Notes taken in these unstructured interviews were included in the data analysis. Taking lecture involves the lecturer and the students in formal setting. Lecturer is one who transfers special knowledge (English teaching materials) to his students in form of academic setting. They are engaged in academic norms, for example lecturer has qualified education (magister or doctorate degree) and the students  have already registered their status as a university student. The lecturer’s function is threefold. In the presentation stage of the material, the lecturer serves as a model, setting up situations in which the need for the target structure is created and modeling the new structure for students to repeat. The lecturer was required to be skillful manipulator, using questions, commands, and other cues to elicit correct sentences from the students. The students wanted the lecturer to give more opportunities for English practice. They can learn from mistakes and develop in real situation. Role play is one of methods can be applied in teaching English. The students like this methods (96%) because they can imitate and practice their English pronunciation.
Market, Market Mechanism and Price Levels in Islamic Microeconomics Perspective
Authors: Permana Yudi
Published: September 2019

This paper tries to discuss about Market, Market Mechanism and Price Levels in Islamic Microeconomics Perspective. In contrast to the conventional economy which frees the formation of price levels only on the market mechanism, determining the price level through market mechanisms in Islamic economics is based on the principles of justice in order to achieve mutual benefit (al-Mashlahah). Therefore, when inequality is detrimental to one party in a market, the role of the government in creating justice for both parties is a solution that is legitimate. This in microeconomic terminology is known as market intervention, which is carried out by the government as a step to stabilize the price level so that it does not harm one party in the market. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the market and price levels in Islamic microeconomics with a philosophical approach. The methodology used in this study used qualitative research based on literature study. The result showed that there were some fundamental things that distinguished Islamic microeconomics from conventional in determining the price level in the Islamic market mechanism.

Published: September 2019

This study aims to find and critically analyze the first principle of harmony in the wayang performance’s concept of pathet. The wayang performance’s concept of pathet as a material object which is analyzed from the perspective of the ontology as a formal object. The methodical elements of the study used include interpretation, induction, and deduction, internal coherence, holistic, historical continuity, idealization, comparison, heuristics, inclusive or analogous language, and description. The results of the study indicate that pathet is a concept that has an important position in the performance of wayang. Philosophically, pathet has many function and meaning. First, pathet is a representation of the structure of wayang performances. Second, pathet is the reference to the sound space in musical instruments. Third, pathet is the atmosphere builder or atmosphere of wayang performances. Fourth, pathet is a guide to the mastermind in building the aesthetic of wayang performance. Pathet, in addition, to have a function also consist of philosophical meaning. First, pathet as an aesthetic manifestation in puppet shows. Second, pathet is a symbol of the stages in human life. Third, pathet as a representation of the cosmic cycle. The investigation of pathet from the perspective of ontology yields the following conclusions. First, the concept of pathet is a representation of the concept of harmony in wayang performance. “Rasa” is the first principle of harmony in the wayang performance’s concept of pathet. This “rasa” has a spiritual dimension so that the ontology of harmony, in this case, is spiritualism. The dynamics of harmony moves with the law of “empan papan”, towards the ultimate goal of reality, namely the perfection of life. Ontology of harmony in the pathet of wayang performances shows monistic-spiritualistic thinking.
Young children’s multimodal participation in storytelling
Authors: Burdelski Matthew
Published: September 2019

In what ways do young children use talk and gesture to participate in conversational storytelling with family members? This paper addresses this question by examining the interactions between Japanese-speaking children (ages one year and ten months to two years and five months) and their parents at the dining table. In focusing on children’s use of talk and gesture in inhabiting the dynamic and shifting roles of ‘recipient’ and ‘speaker’, the analysis shows how children (1) display their understanding of parents’ tellings and (2) animate the activities, social actions, and stances of characters (self and other). It also shows how parents respond to children’s talk and gesture, through practices such as alignment, assessment and repair. The findings shed light on children’s multimodal participation in conversational storytelling, and their abilities to engage in action and make relevant contributions to interaction.
Embodied displacements in young German children’s storytelling
Authors: Heller Vivien
Published: August 2019

This paper is concerned with embodied processes of joint imagination in young children’s narrative interactions. Based on Karl Bühler’s notion of ‘deixis in the imagination’, it examines in detail how a 19-month-old German-speaking child, engaged in picture book reading with his mother, brings about different subtypes of deixis in the imagination by either ‘displacing’ what is absent into the given order of perception (e.g. by using the hand as a token for an object) or displacing his origo to an imagined space (e.g. by kinaesthetically aligning his body with an imagined body and animating his movements). Drawing on multimodal analysis and the concept of layering in interaction, the study analyses the ways in which the picture book as well as deictic, depictive, vocal and lexical resources are coordinated to evoke a narrative space, co-enact the storybook character’s experiences and produce reciprocal affect displays. Findings demonstrate that different types of displacement are in play quite early in childhood; displacements in the dimension of space and person are produced through layerings of spaces, voices and bodies.

Published: September 2019

“One of its obvious results is the emergence of intercultural communication and English language has then become as a bridge for cross-cultural communication, thanks to its worldwide lingua franca. For these reasons, Intercultural Communication Competence (ICC) should be more concerned in English Language Teaching (ELT) tertiary contexts. This study aims to gain an indepth understanding on this issue by investigating English teachers' perceptions and practices on ICC in ELT . The study uses a mixed method, to find the perspective of the lecturers, the researcher use questionnaire and interview, while for the practice the reseracher use observation. The findings of the study reveal the positive attitudes of English lecturers on ICC in ELT, but certain challenges confronted by their implementations have been highlighted.

In this global world, foreign language teaching has been demanded to be intercultural teaching which means that cultural teaching should be integrated in language teaching as well as language competence, in English language teaching for instance. On the ground that the importance of foreign language teaching and learning is largely for purpose of international communication, and intercultural knowledge has crucial role in successful communication. Therefore, this paper reports on a qualitative case study which investigates two English teachers’ practice of integrating intercultural competence in English language teaching at college level. Specifically, this paper provides analysis of intercultural components embedded in teachers’ practice of intercultural integration in teaching English. The data were collected through observation, and unstructured observational notes were employed. The observational data were analysed following sub-processes, are familiarizing, reducing, identifying and classifying, interpreting, and presenting. The result indicates that both English teachers’ understand the objective of English language teaching that teaching language is also teaching the culture as it is showed in their teaching process an intercultural integration, which includes some intercultural components such as attitudes, knowledge, and skills.

Native English accents (British and American) are known as highly favored and accepted varieties compared to other existing accents in English as foreign language (EFL) context. Notwithstanding the research accomplished on EFL learners’ attitudes toward either of the accents (British or American), studies are still scant regarding the investigation of their perspectives in detail toward one of the accents specifically within the context of Iran. The aim of this study is to examine the Iranian EFL learners’ attitudes toward the two major known English accents (British and American. Additionally, the study highlights the major factors contributing to the learners’ preferences toward either of the accents (British or American). To that aim, a developed and validated questionnaire was distributed among 108 EFL learners selected from two of the major EFL contexts (universities and private institutes). The results indicated that the majority of the learners preferred American over British English accent. Besides, factor analysis revealed that American English exposure, lack of guidance, and lack of reinforcement toward British accent were among the mentioned factors accepted by learners for their preference of American. Finally, the study concludes with interpretations regarding the learners’ decision making issues in either of the two major accents, and recommendations are provided for revisiting the EFL learners’ attitudes and insights toward native English accents.

Published: September 2019

Dialogue Journals Writing (DJW) or Written Dialogue Journals are written dialogues or conversations between students and teacher kept in a personal journal book over period of time on a particular topic preferred by both the students and the teacher (Peyton and Reed, 1990; cited from Collin (2003). This study explored the implementation of dialogue journal as media in teaching writing descriptive text. The subjects of this study were students at Eleventh Grade of vocational high school. This study is qualitative case study which conducted in three meetings. The data were obtained from classroom observations, documentations from the learners and questionnaire. The result of document analysis showed that the students’ writing was poor. It can be seen from the students’ writing performance which was analyzed based on the writing indicator by Brown and Abeywiakram (2010). However, from the students’ dialogue showed that the students could understand the content of their friends’ writing. Also from the students’ dialogue, they could express their feelings toward their friends’ writing. While the result of classroom observation showed that the implementing of DJW brought new atmosphere for the students during learning activity. They could enjoy the learning while writing descriptive text through DJW. Meanwhile the result of questionnaire showed that students gave positive response toward implementing DJW. As the suggestions, the use of Dialogue Journal can be solution for the students who lack of practice writing. Moreover, it can build their writing habit. Thus, the teacher can use Dialogue Journal in learning activity.
Повышение экономичности процессов генерации теплоты в коммунальной теплоэнергетике и теплотехнологиях на основе комбинированных когенерационно-теплонасосных технологий

Наиболее эффективной технологией генерации электрической и тепловой энергии для нужд коммунальной теплоэнергетики и теплотехнологий является комбинированная выработка энергии с использованием современных когенерационных установок на основе газопоршневых двигателей и газотурбинных установок, работающих на природном газе или биогазе. Комбинированная выработка энергии на такой базе существенно снижает затраты топлива в сравнении с традиционной раздельной выработкой электроэнергии на тепловых конденсационных электростанциях или на теплоэлектроцентралях и тепловой на котельных установках. Дальнейшее заметное повышение энергоэффективности процессов генерации теплоты для рассматриваемых нужд может быть достигнуто путем включения в процесс теплонасосных установок, т.е. создание комбинированных когенерационно-теплонасосных установок. Они будут иметь наивысшую топливную экономичность в сравнении со всеми существующими в традиционной теплоэнергетике. Это обусловлено целым рядом факторов. Современные когенерационные установки (КГУ) на базе газопоршневых двигателей (ГПД) и газотурбинных установок (ГТУ) имеют электрический к.п.д. выше, чем тепловая электростанция (ТЭС) или теплоэлектроцентраль (ТЭЦ) – 30…45 % и 28…35 %, соответственно. В котлах-утилизаторах более эффективно используется высокотемпературная сбросная теплота двигателей, в результате чего суммарный к.п.д. установок достигает 85…88 %. Такие установки обеспечивают децентрализацию производства электрической и тепловой энергии, поэтому на автономных КГУ существенно ниже, а иногда практически отсутствуют потери в электрических и тепловых сетях, достигающие в централизованных системах 8…12 % и 15…30%, соответственно. Немаловажным является и то, что они повышают надежность работы всего объекта, делая его независимым от внешних сетей. Включение в процесс генерации теплоты теплонасосной установки (ТНУ) вызывает заметное повышение энергоэффективности, увеличивая топливную экономичность, благодаря использованию практически даровой низкопотенциальной теплоты природного, промышленного или бытового происхождения, а также высокой эффективности преобразования в ТНУ этой теплоты в теплоту более высокого потенциала с использованием электрической энергии КГУ.
Целью работы является оценка перспектив применения комбинированных когенерационно-теплонасосных установок на базе ГПД и ГТУ для повышения энергоэффективности и энергосбережения при генерации теплоты в коммунальной теплоэнергетике и теплотехнологиях, в частности, в процессах сушки.

В статті показано переваги виробництва кормових сумішей із відходів круп’яних підприємств, наведено причини зменшення обсягів виробництва кормових сумішей, проблеми на зернопереробних підприємствах, що зумовлені  відсутністю ефективної утилізації відходів. Запропоновано виробництво твердого біопалива із вторинних матеріальних ресурсів (мучок та лузги). Проаналізовано різні способи виробництва твердого органічного біопалива, показано, що існують і недоліки готової продукції – брикетів і пелет, отриманих без використання зв’язуючих речовин, одним з яких є проблема транспортування на великі відстані, в ході якого відбувається руйнування значної кількості пресованого біопалива за рахунок підвищення вологості і, як наслідок, зниження їх теплотворних властивостей. Паливні гранули (пелети), в основному, виробляються без додавання зв’язуючих речовин, в той час як для отримання брикетів з поліпшеними показниками якості використовуються різні добавки і зв’язуючі речовини.
Теоретичними та експериментальними дослідженнями обгрунтовано компонентний склад паливних гранул, визначені фізичні властивості готової продукції. Запропоновано та обґрунтовано у якості ЗР використовувати крохмалевмісну сировину – мучку. На основі експериментальних досліджень доведено, що найбільш ефективним способом є приготування клейстеру з ячмінної мучки з вмістом сухих речовин 15 % з подальшим його введенням до складу біопалива у кількості 5 %. У статті запропоновано та обґрунтовано комплексну технологію переробки відходів круп’яного виробництва у пресовані продукти (кормові суміші та біопаливо), яка включає в себе наступні технологічні лінії: лінія підготовки мучки; лінія підготовки ЗР; лінія підготовки макрокомпонентів; лінія гранулювання; лінія брикетування. Отримані за цією технологією паливні пелети будуть мати щільність 1,13 т/м3, крихкість до 10 %. Наведена принципова технологічна схема одержання гранульованої кормової суміші та паливних пелет.

В роботі обґрунтовано доцільність проведення наукових досліджень, спрямованих на інтенсифікацію внутрішньодифузійного масоперенесення процесів сушіння рослинної біомаси з високими значеннями початкової вологості, зокрема стебел соняшника, а також динаміки насичення відпрацьованого теплового агенту вологою. Зважаючи на складність механізму фільтраційного сушіння, доказано необхідність визначення ефективного коефіцієнта дифузії, який сумарно враховує швидкість усіх видів дифузії вологи, що мають місце під час реалізації процесу і дає змогу опису процесу масоперенесення згідно законів Фіка. Досліджено залежність ефективного коефіцієнта дифузії від температури та отримано залежності для розрахунку значень ефективного коефіцієнта дифузії вологи з подрібнених зовнішніх та внутрішніх тканин стебел соняшника в межах зміни температур теплового агенту 293 – 373 К.
В роботі представлено результати експериментальних досліджень динаміки насичення відпрацьованого теплового агенту вологою у процесі фільтраційного сушіння подрібнених стебел соняшника за різних початкових температур теплового агенту, що дає змогу рекомендувати оптимальні умови проведення процесу.
