Authors: Nihas Syed , Barlish Kristen , Kashiwagi Jacob , Kashiwagi Dean
Published: June 2020

The Indian construction industry has been characterized by poor performance. This paper analyzes the potential impact of the Indian culture on the poor performance. If the culture is a major cause in the construction industry subpar performance, can the cultural influence be overridden to minimize construction project delays and cost overruns. The authors propose to identify the  unique cultural issues, identify using the Construction Industry Structure (CIS) model the impact of the cultural issues on the construction industry, and identify a potential solution to the problem. The paper proposes to test the solution in actual tests with industry participants. What makes this research unique is the approach of using deductive logic to create a simple solution, and then convincing a major research client to test the proposal.

Linalool Suppresses Proliferation and Promotes Apoptosis in Gastric Cancer Cells via Activation of Reactive Oxygen Species-Mediated P53 Pathway
Authors: Ding Haitao , Han Zhijun , Cao Jie , Yang Xiuli
Published: June 2020

The role of linalool in gastric cancer has been examined by measuring its effects on cell cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and accumulation of reactive oxygen species as well as markers of oxidative stress. In a dose-dependent fashion, linalool suppressed the viability of gastric cancer cells and increased accumulation of reactive oxygen species with a concomitant increase in malondialdehyde, cleavage of caspase 3 and p53 and decrease in superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. N-acetyl cysteine, a scavenger of reactive oxygen species reduced the effects of linalool on gastric cancer cells. In conclusion, linalool suppresses cell viability and promotes cell apoptosis of gastric cancer cells via activation of reactive oxygen species-mediated p53 pathway suggesting that linalool might serve as a potential anti-cancer agent.

Published: June 2020

We investigated the protective and in vivo antioxidant effects of p-coumaric acid on carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity in Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats were orally pre-treated with p-coumaric acid (at 50 and 100 mg/kg body weight) for 15 days before the subcutaneous injection of carbon tetrachloride (1.5 mL/kg). Silymarin served as a positive control for hepatoprotection. Blood and tissue samples were obtained and used to assess the effects of p-coumaric acid using quantitative and qualitative histological evaluation, glutathione levels, protein determination, and liver enzymes. p-Coumaric acid treatment did not demonstrate any toxicological abnormalities in mice. p-Coumaric acid and silymarin reduced the extent of carbon tetrachloride-induced liver damage and preserved normal hepatic enzymes (P < 0.05). p-Coumaric acid pre-treatment led to a diminution in increased malondialdehyde and decreased glutathione following carbon tetrachloride administration (P < 0.05). Furthermore, p-coumaric acid restored changes in superoxide dismutase and caspase-3 gene expression as a result of carbon tetrachloride exposure. In conclusion, p-coumaric acid helps restore toxicant-induced liver injury in rats via avoidance of lipid peroxidation, inhibition of cell death and preservation of antioxidant mechanism.

Orthographic and phonological contributions to flanker effects
Authors: Cauchi Christophe , Lété Bernard , Grainger Jonathan
Published: June 2020

Does phonology contribute to effects of orthographically related flankers in the flankers task? In order to answer this question, we implemented the flanker equivalent of a pseudohomophone priming manipulation that has been widely used to demonstrate automatic phonological processing during visual word recognition. In Experiment 1, central target words were flanked on each side by either a pseudohomophone of the target (e.g., roze rose roze), an orthographic control pseudoword (rone rose rone), or an unrelated pseudoword (mirt rose mirt). Both the pseudohomophone and the orthographic control conditions produced faster and more accurate responses to central targets, but performance in these two conditions did not differ significantly. Experiment 2 tested the same stimuli in a masked priming paradigm and replicated the standard finding in French that pseudohomophone primes produce significantly faster responses to target words than orthographic control primes. Therefore, contrary to its impact on masked priming, phonology does not contribute to effects of flanker relatedness, which would appear to be driven primarily by orthographic overlap.

RAILWAY SYSTEM IMPACT ON VOLTAGE QUALITY AT THE LEVEL OF THE CROATIAN TRANSMISSION NETWORK
Authors: Galzina Denisa , Banovac Eraldo , Tomiša Tomislav
Published: June 2020

Railway systems are single-phase loads, connected to two-phase of the three-phase supply network. Therefore, they negatively affect the voltage quality, primarily the voltage unbalance. In addition to voltage unbalance, railway systems inject current harmonics into the network due to controllable diode or thyristor drives used to operate the train.

The paper gives a short theoretical description of the harmonic distortion and the voltage unbalance as well as the results of the voltage quality measurement. Moreover, the paper shows the impact of the railway system on the transmission network in the case that the facilities are connected to the 110 kV voltage level.

The Aberdare Ranges Forest, located in the Central highlands of Kenya, is an isolated volcanic mountain in the East African Rift Valley with unique flora. Despite its refugial importance to rare and endemic plant species, the diversity of plants in the Aberdare Ranges Forest remains poorly understood. The checklist presented here is a collation of data obtained from multiple floristic surveys and from herbarium specimen collections from the forest. A total of 1260 vascular plants taxa representing 136 families, 613 genera, 67 subspecies and 63 varieties are documented. The ferns comprised 84 species, lycophytes seven, gymnosperms six and angiosperms were 1163 taxa. This represents 17.9% of the Kenyan taxa, 1.7% of the African taxa and 0.3% of all the vascular plants known in the world. A total of 18 taxa were endemic and 14 taxa were found to be threatened globally. The life form, voucher specimen(s), habitat and distribution range of each taxon and a brief analysis of taxa diversity is presented in this checklist. This is the first comprehensive inventory of vascular plants in the entire Aberdare Ranges, providing a solid basis for more sustainable management and improved conservation of this montane forest. The checklist is also an important contribution to the world checklist of plants required by the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Hyperthyroidism in Pregnancy
Authors: Shin Dong Yeob
Published: June 2020

Thyroid function fluctuates during pregnancy. Thus, assessments of thyroid activity during childbearing years represent an important health metric. Since anti-thyroid drugs are potentially teratogenic, drug dosing and timing should be carefully calculated. Normally, diagnosis and treatment of hyperthyroidism is performed to determine underlying causes (i.e., Graves' disease), to predict disease course and to make appropriate therapeutic decisions. In cases of maternal hyperthyroidism, these same measures also require the insight regarding the relationship between pregnancy and thyroid function, the effects of anti-thyroid drugs on pregnancy outcomes.

Published: June 2020

Acquired perforating dermatosis (APD) triggers severe itching, and is observed most often in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Various treatments, such as topical steroids, topical and oral retinoids, allopurinol, and ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy, have been used. However, as the precise etiology is unknown, there are a lack of well-established treatment guidelines. We report a peritoneal dialysis patient with a diagnosis of APD who was resistant to topical steroids, phototherapy, allopurinol, and topical retinoids. Severe pruritus persisted, which compromised his ability to lead a normal life. As a final treatment option, we used oral isotretinoin and the patient experienced a dramatic improvement.

Published: June 2020

The present study evaluated the blood gas and electrolyte balance in broiler chicks fed with diets containing different levels of vitamin premix (VM) and forms of trace minerals. VM was included at 30 or 100% of commercial levels. Trace minerals were provided as either inorganic (IOM) or organic trace minerals (OTM). This experiment, which used one-day-old male broiler chicks, featured a factorial treatment structure with four treatments using 12 replicate pens (22 chicks/pen), each arranged in a randomised complete block design. An i-STAT® handheld, point-of-care, clinical analyser, loaded with blood gas, lactate and electrolyte cartridges, was used to analyse blood samples. Significant interactions for vitamin levels and mineral form were observed for bicarbonate, base excess, total carbon dioxide, ionised calcium and haematocrit levels. Using OTM, but not IOM, in the premix resulted in blood gas and electrolyte values that were comparable to those in 100% VM-fed group. The consumption of 30% VM reduced pO2 (P<0.01), sO2 (P<0.01), pH (P=0.05) and K+ with concomitant increases in lactate, glucose and Na+ (P<0.03). However, OTM tended to reverse the Na+ effect (P=0.05) along with higher partial CO2 (P<0.05). These results demonstrated the negative effects of a 30% VM diet on blood gas and electrolyte balance, which triggered nutritionally induced metabolic acidosis. However, metabolic acidosis induced by underfeeding VM (30%) was restored or normalised by using OTM, but not IOM, in the vitamin-mineral premix.
Edible insects unlikely to contribute to transmission of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2

Published: June 2020

In the context of food safety, edible insects are evaluated for biological hazards such as microbial pathogens according to regulations currently in place. When the European Food Safety Authority evaluated the hazards of edible insects as a potential source of pathogenic viruses for humans and livestock, the novel zoonotic coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 had not yet emerged but other pathogenic coronaviruses such as SARS (SARS-CoV) and MERS (MERS-CoV) were known. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, animal sources of protein for human consumption are being evaluated for the risks of being a transmission vector of coronaviruses, like SARS-CoV-2. Insects lack a receptor that can bind SARS-CoV-2, thus preventing the virus from replicating in insects, unlike some vertebrate livestock species and companion animals. Despite extensive monitoring, coronaviruses have never been recorded in insect microbiomes. Contamination of insects produced for food or feed may occur during the production process, resulting from rearing substrate or from insect farmers. However, the currently permitted rearing substrates do not include animal products and the farming process is highly automated, thus limiting interactions between farmers and insects. If contamination would still occur, the fact that the insects in production are not hosts to SARS-CoV-2 precludes virus replication and the further processing of the insects will destroy the contamination. We conclude that the hazard of edible insects being a transmission vector of SARS-CoV-2 is extremely low.
Fatigue in Family Caregivers of Individuals With Dementia: Associations of Sleep, Depression, and Care Recipients' Functionality

Published: June 2020

The current study examined factors related to fatigue in family caregivers of individuals with dementia using a cross-sectional design to collect subjective and objective data. Findings indicated that caregivers' sleep quality, difficulty falling asleep, and depression, as well as care-recipients' functionality, were associated with family caregivers' fatigue. Regression analysis indicated that only sleep quality significantly predicted caregivers' fatigue. Study findings suggest fatigue is common among family caregivers of individuals with dementia and may be related to sleep quality. The level of fatigue identified in the current study warrants further study with larger and more diverse samples. [

The impact of media on the spatiotemporal pattern dynamics of a reaction-diffusion epidemic model
Authors: Meng Xin-You ,   School of Science, Lanzhou University of Technology, Lanzhou, Gansu 730050, China, Zhang Tao
Published: June 2020

In this paper, a reaction-diffusion SI epidemic model with media impact is considered. The boundedness of system and the existence of the state are given. The local stabilities of the endemic states are analyzed. Sufficient conditions of the occurrence of the Turing pattern are obtained by the center manifold theorem and normal form method. Some numerical simulations are given to check in the theoretical results. We find that the influence of media not only inhibits the spread of infectious diseases, but also effects the spatial steady-state of model.

Marie Leprince de Beaumont pratique la forme spectatoriale le temps de deux récits peu connus, conçus en miroir : « Le Nouveau Spectateur ou Journal de William » et « La Nouvelle Spectatrice ou Journal de Manon ». Publiés de façon sérielle dans le périodique Le Nouveau Magasin français au début des années 1750, ces deux textes dessinent des trajectoires adolescentes originales en même temps qu’ils ouvrent à des combinaisons intertextuelles renouvelées, entre écriture spectatoriale, journal intime, conte de fées, et roman-mémoires.
Pensando caminhos alternativos : a perspectiva do jornalismo cívico
Authors: Vasques Ferreira Fernanda , Alves Marcelli
Published: June 2020

Face aux crises que connaissent les journaux du monde entier, le journalisme est-il condamné à l’échec ? Quelles alternatives pourraient changer le contexte dans lequel évoluent les journaux et opèrent les journalistes ? C’est cette question qui a orienté la revue de la littérature lusophones et brésiliens portant notamment sur ce qui pourrait être un moyen pas nécessairement nouveau, mais innovant – permettant de "sauver" : le journalisme « civique ». Il n’y a pas de consensus sur ce terme mais la plupart des auteurs conviennent que le journalisme doit être plus proche des citoyens. La revue de la littérature a donc orienté ce travail aussi bien sur le plan méthodologique que théorique.
La prise en compte du cheminement spirituel du jeune selon une perspective d’éducation relative à l’environnement : la problématique québécoise
Authors: Boelen Virginie
Published: June 2020

L’éducation séculière québécoise s’inscrit parmi celles qui, tout en adhérant au bien-fondé de prendre en compte le cheminement spirituel de ses jeunes, démontrent dans les faits de timides dispositions dans ce sens. Les raisons de ce constat invitent à une relecture du concept de spiritualité pour ensuite, à la lumière des repères théoriques qui en sont issus et face à la crise environnementale de notre temps, s’intéresser à un axe de son développement dans une perspective environnementale. Il sera question d’exposer la pertinence d’un modèle éducationnel en ce sens selon une perspective d’éducation relative à l’environnement au sein du programme d’éducation québécois, qui rejoint la préoccupation mondiale d’un vivre ensemble élargi à l’ensemble de la communauté de vie. Le développement d’une telle compétence éco-psycho-spirituelle selon une éthique de la reliance permettrait d’engager le sens de la responsabilité par un savoir-être et un agir éco-citoyens.

Published: June 2020

In this paper, hot and cold deep drawing processes are determined with direct deep drawing process and indirect deep drawing process. To predict the friction coefficient, the finite-element method, which can predict deformation behavior until the fracture of a blank sheet, was proposed using the forming limit diagram (FLD) curve. The effect of fracturing of the coating layer on the friction coefficient during the hot and cold deep drawing processes was investigated. The deformation behavior of the coating layer of the boron steel sheet that affects the friction coefficient in the hot and cold deep drawing processes was also proposed. A forming method that can control the surface condition of the formed product is further proposed by explaining the fracture of the coating due to the forming process.

Published: June 2020

Micro products or micro components are commonly used in today’s world. Research around micromanufacture technologies to produce a better product quality has been going on extensively. Ultrasonic vibration assisted micromilling (UVAM) is one of the technologies that can give a better machining qualities over the conventional ones. One of the benefits UVAM can give is reducing the machined surface roughness. The purpose of this paper is to give an idea how vibration assisted micromilling can give a better surface roughness quality. The theoritical surface roughness geometry model is made using MATLAB software. The cutting tool used in the simulation is end mill. There is a feature of the cutting tool called bottom cutting edge angle. This feature will be considered on this paper. The effects of the bottom cutting edge on workpiece machined surface can be looked visually from the simulation. Thus, the effects of cutting process using UVAM on the workpiece surface can be looked as well through the simulation.
Effect of Processing Parameters on the Diameter and Morphology of Electrospun Iron-Modified Montmorillonite (Fe-MMT)/Polycaprolactone Nanofibers

Published: June 2020

Iron-modified montmorillonite-filled polycaprolactone nanofiber mats were produced via electrospinning with varying applied voltage, flow rate, needle-tip-to-collector distance, and needle diameter. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe fiber morphology and characteristics. The effects of varying process parameters on various fiber characteristics were evaluated using a two-level fractional factorial experimental design. The effect of voltage on fiber diameter differed with varying flow rate. At 32 ml/hr, the average fiber diameter decreased from 518.38 nm ± 289.37 nm to 466.43 nm ± 312.36 nm when the voltage is increased. At 42 ml/hr the effect of voltage on fiber diameter was reversed. The average fiber diameter was also found to decrease from 516.03 nm ± 283.48 nm to 467.96 nm ± 318.07 nm with decreasing tip-to-collector distance at 32 mL/hr flow rate. The variation of the effect of the factors on fiber diameter was mainly due to a significant loss of material observed at 12 kV and 15 cm tip-to-collector distance. Bead formation was observed for all runs with more beads being formed at 12 kV applied voltage and 15 cm tip-to-collector distance. Spherical beads were observed at 12 kV and 15 cm tip-to-collector distance while spindle-like beads were present in nanofiber membranes spun at high voltage and at the combination of low voltage and low tip-to-collector distance. The parameter setting combination of 19 kV, 32 ml/hr flow rate, 10 cm tip-to-collector distance, and 0.514 mm needle diameter yielded the lowest fiber diameter with the least amount of beading and small bead size. Small fiber diameters and less beading provide larger surface area and more exposure of the Fe-MMT particles for more efficient adsorption.

Ti-6Al-4V as an implant material has bio-inert properties, so it does not support any tissues or bone cells reaction. This study aims to increase the tendency of osteoblast's cell attachment to the surface of implant Ti-6Al-4V by fabricating nanotube structure on the surface by anodization. This study also conducted to study the effect of elements from titanium alloys and organic electrolytes on the mechanism of formation of nanotube structures. The anodization method was chosen because it was easy to do, effective, and inexpensive. The samples were prepared by ground and polished, then washed by ultrasonic. Anodization used organic electrolytes in the form of a mixture of ethylene glycol, 0.5 M NH4F, and 4 w.t% deionized water. The study of the effect of voltage and duration time was carried out to understand the mechanism of nanotube formation, through morphological observation on the surface and cross-section area of nanotubes using SEM and characterization of elements using EDS, diameter, and length of highly ordered nanotubes was observed. The results of the characterization showed that the tube diameter is adjusted by the voltage, while duration time influence the tube length, with a linear relationship, so the widest diameter achieved at 40V 5h, but the longest tube achieved at 30 V 5h. Whereas for 5h duration, the upper part of the tube collapsed and disintegrated. The fluoride ions incorporated at the tube surfaces formed fluoride-titanium oxide cubic agglomerates, and the whole nanotube surface was oxide.

Cracks affect the durability of concrete by increasing its permeability. Self-healing materials can begin repairing themselves immediately after creating a crack. This is a big advantage of self-healing materials. In this study, effect of self-healing agents based on calcium carbonate precipitation for concrete is monitored for three months. Bacillus pseudofirmus was chosen as a self-healing agent and was tested on old cement pastes. Calcium precipitation was analyzed by scanning electron microscope with Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The effect of added spontaneous calcination, culture media, bacteria and Ca2+ was monitored.

Activated carbon is one of the most widely used adsorbents, but it shows low removal efficiency for polar molecules such as ammonia or ions due to the low content of oxygen containing groups. To increase the amount of oxygen containg groups, activated carbon was modified by the oxidation of activated carbon using the HNO3/H3PO4-NaNO2. The results showed that the carboxyl content of the modified activated carbon (MAC) increased with an increase in reaction time and temperature. The condition at 50°C for 60 hours yielded the MAC with a carboxyl content 1.07 mmol/g. The oxygen content of MAC also increased, suggesting the formation of carboxyl or carbonyl groups in the products after the oxidation. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images demonstrated an increase in porosity of the MAC. The maximum capacity of ammonia adsorption was 5.81 mg/g for MAC.
