Rumah-Toko merupakan salah satu ciri khas dari Pecinan. Dalam perkembangannya, rumah-toko pada kawasan tersebut mengalami beberapa perubahan fungsi ruang dan perubahan bentuk bangunan rumah-toko akibat dari beberapa faktor, sehingga terlihat karakteristik arsitektur cina pada kawasan tersebut semakin memudar. Pada penelitian sebelumnya belum ada yang mengaitkan antara perubahan dungsi dan bentuk rumah-toko terhadap arsitektur cina. Adapun beberapa penelitian sebelumnya hanya mengaitkan dengan topologi perubahan rumah-toko. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui penyebab terjadinya perubahan fungsi pada rumah-toko dan untuk mengetahui pengaruh perubahan fungsi dan bentuk yang menyebabkan mulai pudarnya karakteristik arsitektur cina yang berpengaruh terhadap perubahan karakter arsitektur cina di kawasan pecinan. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif, pengumpulan data-data dari penelitian ini dilakukan dengan cara survei lokasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi kemudian dianalisis dengan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Setelah dilakukan analisis dari data-data lokasi, maka didapatkan kesimpulan umum bahwa faktor yang mempengaruhi perubahan fungsi dan bentuk yaitu faktor ekonomi, sosial, dan budaya serta fungsi ruang memiliki pengaruh yang lebih kecil terhadap memudarnya karakteristik arsitektur cina dibandingkan dengan perubahan bentuk bangunan yang memiliki pengaruh lebih besar terhadap memudarnya karakteristik arsitektur cina. Shop-House is one of the characteristics of Chinatown. In its development, Shop-House in the region experienced several changes in the function of space and changes in the shape of the houses due to several factors, so that the Chinese architectural characteristics in the area faded. In the previous research, there was no link between changes in function and the form of houses to Chinese architecture. As for some previous studies only linking with the change in the shop-house topology. The purpose of this study is to determine the cause of changes in the function of the Shop-House and to determine the effect of changes in function and shape that cause the fading of Chinese architectural characteristics that affect the changes in Chinese architectural character in Chinatown. This research method uses descriptive qualitative method, the collection of data from this study is done by surveying locations, interviews, and documentation and then analyzed with qualitative descriptive methods. After analyzing the location data, a general conclusion is that the factors that influence changes in function and form are economic, social, and cultural factors and the function of space has a smaller influence on the waning characteristics of Chinese architecture compared to changes in the shape of buildings that have influence. greater to the waning characteristics of Chinese architecture.

The study attempts to examine the impact of everyday factors on the development of the world perception by the North Caucasus Cossacks. Everyday life of the Cossacks in the North Caucasus included household activities, farming, cattle breeding, gardening and other types of economic activities, military service, community organizations, rites and rituals, spiritual and religious practices. The aspects of daily life and routine of the North Caucasus Cossacks led to their specific worldview formation. The Cossack had to constantly act as a farmer and a farm worker, on the one hand, and as a warrior in public service, on the other hand. These two principles in the Cossack real life resulted in the development of specific views on the world and their place in it. The purpose of the study is to identify the main characteristics of the Cossacks’ everyday life and the views on it in the public mind of the North Caucasus Cossack population expressed in the worldview and world perception of the surrounding reality by the Cossacks. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the consideration of the direct relationship between the daily life of the North Caucasus Cossacks and the ideas of public consciousness, its worldview, world perception, and value system. The research findings will contribute to a better understanding of ethnic culture and lifestyle of the Cossack population in the North Caucasus.
Transformation of modern festive culture in China
Authors:   Far Eastern Federal University, Shang Bofei
Published: November 2018

The study looks at Chinese festive culture as an important part of Chinese national and family culture. The modern history of China can be divided into several periods that have greatly altered the path of China’s historical development: Xinhai Revolution, Anti-Japanese War, Civil War, Establishment of New China (PRC), Cultural Revolution, Reform and Opening-up Policy. Uneven historical development of contemporary China had an impact on Chinese holidays. Chinese festive culture followed different paths in different periods of the contemporary history of China. Sometimes traditional holidays were canceled or revived; however, traditional festive culture had never disappeared. Nowadays, it has become an important part of Chinese popular life. Chinese festive culture is of a dynamic nature. Traditional holidays are replaced with modern ones that appear due to the new social and political circumstances and the influence of Western culture. Traditional holidays are transformed within two trends: they change in quantity; their functions and roles, rituals and values change as well. However, despite the transformation and modernization of modern festive culture in China, the main function of traditional holidays (the reunion of families and, hence, of the whole nation) is preserved.

Various techniques to solve Blasius equation
Authors: KARABULUT Utku Cem , KILIÇ Alper
Published: November 2018

This paper presents three distinct approximate methods for solving Blasius Equation. The first method can be regarded as an improvement to a series solution of Blasius by means of Padè approximation. The second method is a famous type of weighted residual technique which is called Galerkin method after the famous Russian engineer and mathematician Boris Galerkin. The last method is a simple discrete, numerical technique. Additionally, in order to show the power of the last method, the Thomas-Fermi problem is solved using the same technique. Results obtained by all three methods are highly accurate in comparison with the Howarth’s solution and Bender’s solution.

Systematic review methodology for development: An example from microfinance
Authors: Van Rooyen Carina , Stewart Ruth , De Wet Thea
Published: November 2018

Big international development donors such as the UK's Department for International Development and USAID have recently started using systematic review as a methodology to assess the effectiveness of various development interventions to help them decide what is the 'best' intervention to spend money on. Such an approach to evidence-based decision-making has long been practiced in the health sector in the US, UK, and elsewehere but it is relatively new in the development field. In this article we use the case of a systematic review of the impact of microfinance on the poor in sub-Saharan African to indicate how systematic review as a methodology can be used to assess the impact of specific development interventions.
The rhetoric of participation: A study of the planning and development of low-income human settlements in the province of KwaZulu-Natal
Authors: Kahn Fazel , Kahn Sultan , Govender Jayanathan
Published: November 2018

Participation in South Africa is encouraged and institutionalized in a variety of processes at different levels of government. The right of citizens and their representatives to exchange views and influence decision making at the local governance sphere such as the right to be included in decision making on the local budget, planning and development processes, and service delivery matters, is embodied in a wide range of national policies. However in reality, participation praxis appears to be theoretical, unclear, superficial and at times a tool to exercise political hegemony at the local level. This paper examines the level of people's participation in the planning and development of low-income human settlements in three research localities in the province of KwaZulu-Natal. It highlights, contrary to policy mandates to create real opportunities for participation by ordinary citizens, what one may term "rhetoric" that best serves the hegemony of political actors.
Ethnographic insights on rural sustainability; homestead design and permaculture of Eastern Cape settlements in South Africa
Authors: Perry Adam F
Published: November 2018

This article considers the prevalence of sustained agricultural practices (particularly large scale gardens of the homestead) and questions current public debate that permaculture strategy is foreign to South Africa. The paper speaks on recent ethnographic work by the author in rural parts of the Eastern Cape, or the former Transkei. The article makes comparisons to some of the founding principles of permaculture theory and practice to suggest that current agricultural practices and homestead (umzi, plural imizi) settlement patterns follow closely to "permaculture ideals" in theory and practice. An argument is made that the rural Xhosa homestead has developed much more to the tune of achieving sustainability for its occupants, as many continue to build to accommodate subsistence agriculture. Natural resources of the area also continue to be utilized and collectively shared. Whilst, the design strategy of incorporating animal enclosures (uthango, plural iintango, or ubuhlanti, plural iintlanti) within the homestead aid residents, as animal waste is utilized for fuel and fertilizer. The paper critiques ideas that believe rural areas to be "de-agrarianised", or solely supported by the welfare state. A further critique is raised because of the idealised manner in which foreign ideas on development are esteemed as better than regional adaptations. The paper displays scepticism for Eastern Cape development models or those perceptions that do not account for local land use practices. Ultimately, the author critiques development models that do not delve deeply into how people incorporate settlement structures to maximise upon the use of natural resources.

Authors: Gatica Diego , Ponce Francisco , Noël René , Astudillo Hernán
Published: November 2018

System-of-Systems (SoS) are composed by heterogeneous constituent systems that are autonomous, independently managed and operated, and geographically distributed. Architectural evaluation is a key activity of all systems design, construction and operation; unfortunately, the interrelationships among SoS constituent systems and quality attributes (QA) make hard to evaluate SoS. Several evaluation techniques have been proposed, but this corpus of knowledge has not yet been organized for easy access. This article describes the design, execution and results of a Systematic Literature Mapping (SLM) of architectural evaluation proposals, focusing on the QA's they address and the techniques they use. The SLM yield 1675 articles, of which 22 were selected for detailed analysis; most of them take a quantitative perspective (82\%) and the rest are hybrid quantitative/qualitative (18\%); most proposals offer no empirical validation at all (64\%); and the most addressed QA's are performance and robustness.

Labels and beyond: Mapping the ways national Danish news brands signal commercial intent to users in their online editorial-looking adverts
Authors: Sparre Kirsten
Published: November 2018

This paper analyses the ways in which eight national Danish news brands label their online editorial-looking advertising with labels, logos, bylines, and explanatory disclaimer texts. The practices are different and uneven, and whilst they largely comply with current legislation on labelling of advertising, they do little to help users build schemas and literacy to understand and handle this new form of advertising. The paper concludes by pointing to a number of questions that should be explored in future research on the ability of readers to recognise editorial-looking advertising as advertising.

In the absence of values and ideologies, Party-switching in Nigeria is inevitable.
Authors: Mogaji Emmanuel
Published: November 2018

This paper aims to explore the absence of
values and ideologies within the political parties and how it contributes
towards party switching, using the Nigerian political scene as a focus point.
The personal values and ideologies of individual politicians was questioned as
well. This paper further postulated that the neither the Nigerian politicians
nor the political parties have values and ideologies they stand for. Not
surprising there cannot be any alignment and politicians able to switch their
party at will. They are not principled to stand for something that does not
exists. Moving on beyond the 2019 election in Nigeria, the paper offers
practical insights into brand identity development for political parties,
especially the new ones.

Catoptria permutatellus (Herrich-Schäffer, 1848) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) successfully reared from the egg for the first time
Authors: Heckford R. J. , Leverton R.
Published: November 2018

An account is given of rearing Catoptria permutatellus (Herrich-Schäffer, 1848) from the egg. The observations were made from eggs obtained in captivity from a female caught in Scotland. The larvae accepted seven species of moss and one, or possibly more, species of Carex.
Descriptions and photographs are provided of the egg, larva and pupa. It appears that there are no accounts of the egg or pupa in either the British or continental European literature, except for one paper that simply gives the number of ribs possessed by the egg, and there are no reliable
descriptions of the larva. Certain prior accounts, at least in the British literature, appear to be based on accounts of a superficially similar species, Catoptria myella (Hübner, 1796), that does not occur in the British Isles. Various British and continental European publications
are considered.

Мета роботи: визначити особливості HLA-фенотипів та показників цитокінової ланки імунітету з факторами ендотеліальної дисфункції у хворих на непроліферативні (НП) форми хронічного гломерулонефриту (ХГН) з нефротичним синдромом (НС).

Матеріал та методи. Вивчали розподіл HLA-антигенів за допомогою мікролімфоцитотоксичного тесту Терасакі у 264 хворих на ХГН, НС (серед яких аналізували дані 96 з НП ГН) та 350 здорових донорів. Морфологічний діагноз був підтверджений методом тонкоігольної нефробіопсії. Для вивчення рівнів цитокінів та факторів ендотеліальної дисфункції в крові 110 пацієнтів використовували імуноферментний аналіз.

Результати. Для ХГН, НС відносний ризик високий (RR> 2)за наявності HLA-А23, 24, 28, В8, 38, 41, 44 (у хворих на НП ГН +А30),причинна роль (σ> 0.1)показана для А24, 28, В8 (НП +A19+31+32); протекторами захворювання є В12 та В16 (НП +А9). Виявлені антигени-провокатори різних морфологічних форм ХГН.

У пацієнтів з НП ГН виявлено в крові високі рівні як про- (трансформуючий фактор росту альфа (TNF-α), інтерлейкіну 17 (IL-17), моноцитарний хемоатрактантний протеїн 1 (МСР-1)), так і протизапальних (IL-4, трансформуючий фактор росту бета (TGF-β)) цитокінів, факторів ендотеліальної дисфункції (фактор росту ендотелію судин (VEGF), розчинна молекула адгезії судинних клітин (sVCAM-1)) та зниження Е-селектину. РівеньMCP-1 у хворих на проліферативні ГН був вищим, ніж у разі непроліферативних форм.

Не виявлено достовірних змін цих показників імунітету в групі хворих на НП ГН після проведеного лікування, за винятком зниження TNF-α (р = 0,001), але позитивний ефект лікування асоціював з достовірним зниженням концентрацій МСР-1 (р = 0,005) і VEGF (р = 0,028).

Висновки. Виявлені достовірні асоціаціїHLA з ХГН, НС та його непроліферативними морфологічними формами дозволяють вважати такі антигени в фенотипі пацієнтів та інші показники імунітету ((TNF-α,MCP-1 і VEGF) додатковими прогностичними маркерами.

Усі пацієнти надали письму інформовану згоду на участь у досліджені. Пацієнти були стратифіковані за квартилями (≤ 25% та ≥ 75%) відповідно до середньої дози ТАРЕ і розподілені наступним чином: I групу склали хворі, які отримували ТАРЕ більше 6 місяців у дозі ≤ 50 мкг/міс (n = 20), до II групи увійшли хворі, у яких доза ТАРЕ склала ≥ 125 мкг/міс (n = 18). Поряд із стандартними діагностичними методами досліджували концентрацію малонового діальдегіду у сироватці (МДА) й еритроцитах (MДAe), вміст у крові церулоплазміну (ЦП) та трансферину (ТР). Крім того, визначали загальну пероксидазну активність (ЗПА) у еритроцитах, проникність еритроцитарних мембран (ПЕМ), підрахували відсоток гемолізу.
Результати. У ГД пацієнтів, які лікувались ТАРЕ у дозі ≥ 125 мкг/міс визначено підвищення концентрації ЦР (р = 0,007) та ТР (р = 0,0003), тоді як ЗПА була статистично значуще зниженою порівняно з ІІ групою (р = 0,02). Крім того, У пацієнтів І групи встановлено вищий відсоток гемолізу (р = 0,03) та ПЕМ (р ˂ 0,0001). Використовуючи модель пробіт-регресії, ми визначили дозозалежний вплив ТАРЕ на рівень ПЕМ: χ2 = 21; р ˂ 0,0001.
Висновки. Таким чином, застосування ТАРЕ  у дозі понад 125 мкг на місяць покращує антиоксидантний статус ГД хворих, але разом з тим, підвищує гемоліз еритроцитів та ПЕМ. Отримані нами дані потребують подальшого підтвердження.

Published: November 2018

Гостре пошкодження нирок (ГПН) у дітей має поліетіологічну структуру, особливості перебігу залежні від віку захворювання і високий ризик розвитку хронічної хвороби нирок (ХХН) в катамнезі.

Метою дослідження стало вивчення функціонального стану нирок у дітей, що перенесли ГПН, у віддалених термінах.

Матеріали та методи. Було ретроспективно  проаналізовано функціональний стан нирок (швидкість клубкової фільтрації (ШКФ)за Шварцом, рівень паратіреоідного гормону (ПТГ), альбумінурії (АУ),  динамічної і статичної реносцинтиграфіі(РСГ)) за даними 60 історій хвороб дітей від 1 до 18 років, що перенесли ГПН протягом 2000-2016 р.р.

Результати. Протягом першого року спостереження у 61,5% хворих зберігалась азотемія,, уповільнення ШКФ та високий рівень АУ. Подальше спостереження за цією групою хворих виявило тенденцію нормалізації рівнів креатиніну, сечовини, ШКФ, але зростання рівнів АУ. В динаміці спостереження від 5 до 15 років, визначено, що у 13,3% пацієнтів ШКФ становила від 90 до 85 мл/мін, а у 36,7% - від 85 до 30 мл/мін. У 46,7% дітей при не змінених показниках креатиніну і ШКФ, відмічено зростання рівню альбумінурії від 45 до 601 мг/добу. За період спостереження, від 15 років і більше, повністю одужало 53,3% дитини, у 31,6% хворих констатована хронічна ниркова недостатність (ХНН), а у 30,0% спостерігалось одужання з дефектом - стійке зниження функції з наявними маркерами пошкодження нирок.

Висновки. Гостре пошкодження нирок частіше зустрічалось серед дітей перших 3 років життя, переважно у хлопчиків. Етіологічним чинником виникнення захворювання був гемолітико-уремічний синдром на фоні гострої кишкової інфекції. Повне одужання документоване у 20,0% реконвалесцентів ГПН, у 30,0%  констатовано персистенцію маркерів пошкодження нирки з відновленням функції, а у 18,3% значне, стійке зниження функції нирок. Багатоцільове сцинтиграфічне дослідження з радіофірмпрепаратами різного типу виведення виявило ознаки порушення канальцевих та гломерулярних функцій за 7-8 років до появи лабораторних змін.

Published: November 2018

Purpose: The study objectives were to (i) describe employment outcomes among Registered Dietitians (RDs) who graduated from the University of Manitoba, (ii) test for differences in employment outcomes according to graduation year, and (iii) compare preferred area of practice and geography prior to employment with past and current employment.

Methods: Graduates of the Human Nutritional Sciences program (2006–2015) were invited to participate in an online survey. Data on respondent demographics, education, and employment outcomes were collected.

Results: Overall, 133 (68%) respondents self-identified as RDs. RDs who had graduated between 2006 and 2011 were significantly more likely to secure employment within 6 months post-graduation compared with RDs that graduated between 2012 and 2015. Geographically, although 56% of RDs did not wish to gain experience in rural/remote communities upon graduating, 44% of these respondents reported working part- or full-time in a rural/remote location at some point during their career.

Conclusion: Findings indicate that a substantial number of RDs in Manitoba are employed in a rural or remote location despite acknowledging that it is not a preferred location. Future research is needed to explore the views and experiences of new and established RDs toward rural or remote practice, including preparedness for practice.

Published: November 2018

The waterflooding process is provided by the technical hydraulic system (THS) of reservoir pressure maintenance, including water intake facilities, treatment systems, pumping stations, pipeline network, shut-off and throttling valves, wellhead equipment of injectors, drained (by boreholes) and flooded (by injection wells) zones of the formation or the system as a whole. The obvious THS interconnection with the productive strata system required a creation of the THS model and the model of productive strata hydraulic system, which should be integrated into a comprehensive model. In the sphere of simulation of hydraulic systems at present there is no theoretical basis formed for building unified hydraulic models related to productive strata systems. Also, there is no unified approach to the mathematical and algorithmic description of models of hydraulic systems with arbitrary properties of elements, due to which the created models and their software implementations are used exclusively in the industry context with large restrictions on description of the properties of the system elements and the boundary conditions.

Published: November 2018

Hydrogeodynamic and hydrogeochemical conditions of the Lower-Middle Jurassic complex are considered on the example of the oil field Talinskoye located in Krasnoleninsk oil and gas bearing area. The authors describe the complicated structures of the hydrogeodynamic and hydrogeochemical fields in the studied area. It is shown that the deficit reservoir pressure is in average 1.6 MPa. Within the field the zones of the waters ion-salt composition anomalies have been are identified. These zones are characterized by low values of mineralization (in average 5 g/l) as compared to the background value (8 - 9 g/l). The dependence of the hydrogeochemical anomalies formation on the faults position, the temperature of the basement top and the values of reservoir pressures is consistent with the model of the conjugated falling-rising mass transfer.
