Key Competences Formation by Means of Learning Foreign Languages
Authors: Shemanaeva M. A.
Published: October 2018

The shift of higher education system to the new federal state standards for education (FGOS3++) is connected with the changes in the curriculum and  terminological shift from so called general cultural competences to key competences. Key competences are the basis for professional competences and lay the foundation for further  personal and professional development of a specialist. Recent research in  teaching foreign languages in higher education institutions have been aimed at the development of professional competences. However the  empirical data show that first-year students of non-linguistic departments do  not have school level command of the foreign language. The article considers the potential of the foreign language to form not only communicative  competence in the foreign language but to form key competences,  mentioned in the new federal standard, regardless of the initial level of language competence.
Asymptomatic retroperitoneal hemorrhage in a hemodialysis patient: a case report
Authors: DEMİR Mehmet Emin
Published: October 2018

Hemostasis is deteriorated in patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease and dialysis. Therefore, these patients tend to bleed. Spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage almost always occurs with obvious clinical symptoms and findings. Here we aimed to present our patient with SRH whose course was in an atypic fashion.
A rare case of adipocytic tumor in subscapular region: hibernoma
Authors: ZENGİN Mehmet
Published: October 2018

Hibernoma is a
rare lipomatous tumor of brown fat origin that emerges from remnants of fetal brown
adipose tissue. They are encapsulated, yellow-tan colored, painless and benign
soft tissue tumors, usually seen in adults and occur with large cells that have
acidophilic, granular and vacuolar cytoplasm and centraly nuclei. Our case is a
33-year-old female who had swelling in the subscapular region. Imaging studies
depicted a lesion compatible with lipoma. Macroscopic evaluation of the
excision specimen revealed brown, tan-yellow colored and hemorrhagic cut
surface compatible with fat tissue. In microscopic examination, a tumor
composed of cells with vacuolar, granular and eosinophilic cytoplasm, centrally
or peripherally localized small, round nuclei, were observed. These cells were
stained with immunhistochemical S-100 and were evaluated to be comparable with
lipocytes. With these findings, the patient was diagnosed as having hibernoma. We
present this case for its rarity, and for the fact that it can be treated with
simple excision, and should be kept in mind especially in the differential
diagnosis of lesions with high vascularity

Published: October 2018

Introduction: Hand injuries are a common
condition that causes serious loss of labor and 
skill function. İn Turkey, studies on the epidemiology and causes of hand
injuries is limited. The purpose of this study was to determine the etiology,
demographic characteristics, clinical findings and outcomes of patients who
applied to  emergency department with
open hand injury and to obtain data that can be used as a preliminary model for
future protective programs.Material and Method: Between January 2010- December
2013, records of 1180 of  patients who
applied to  emergency department for an
isolated open hand injury were retrospectively reviewed. The records were examined for age, sex,
date of application, occupation, cause of injury, localization or  type of injury, medical treatments and
outcome.Results: 889 (75.3%) of the patients were male. The average age of the patients included in the study was 32.47 ± 18.51. When the days of injury were examined, injury was generally seen on Friday with 185 patients (15.7%). The main cause of the injuries were 699 (59.2%) home accidents. 103 cases (8.7%) were working in wooden work. The most commonly encountered injury was cuts on skin (50.5%), as observed in 596 cases. 488 (41.4%) of the cases were primary sutured and 788 (66.8%) of the cases were discharged.

Conclusion:
Patients
who are admitted to emergency department 
due to hand injuries, most of them are young male patients.
It is possible to reduce labor and economic losses with early treatment of hand
injuries and appropriate rehabilitation. We think that the training of
employees in occupational health and the promotion of the use of protective
clothes and the strict control mechanism to be created are the main measures.
Refusal to travel in the National Ambulance Service: A retrospective examination of calls from 2017.
Authors: Byrne Eamonn , Selby Sasha , Gallen Paul , Watts Alan
Published: October 2018

Introduction

When a member of the public calls for an ambulance through the 999/112 system, the only permitted course of action for the responding National Ambulance Service (NAS) staff is to convey the patient to an emergency department. Regardless of the clinical level, NAS staff do not have the authority or scope of practice to discharge the patient from the scene or make any other arrangements for the treatment of that person(1). The patient, meeting certain criteria, can refuse treatment or transport (RTT) of their own volition(1). Mortality rates for non-conveyed patients vary from 0.2%-3.5% within 24hours and are twice those of patients discharged from an emergency department(2, 3). In 2017, the refusal to travel rate in Ireland jumped from 7-8% of calls (2012-2014) to a national average of 11.3% (24,735) of total AS1 calls(4). Although this level of non-conveyance would still be below international norms the rate of increase was concerning(3).

Aim.

A quality improvement initiative necessitated identification of baseline RTT information.

Methods

Retrospective data collection was conducted on all calls closed with a ‘refusal to travel’ or ‘refusal of treatment’ occurring between 1st Jan 2017 and 9th Nov 2017 and was gathered from the National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC).

Results

The top three dispatch classification that resulted in RTT were falls, unconsciousness or near fainting, and generally unwell patients. This was followed by chest pain, seizures, traffic incidents and breathing problems. It was noted that the time at which RTT calls occurred peaked nationally between 2000 and 2059. In the Southern area, peak RTT occurred between 2000-2059h and 0000-0100. 33.6% of RTT calls in the Southern Area were designated as Delta calls. This designation requires an advanced life support and a blue light response and is the call level with the second highest acuity below an Echo call, the designation for Cardiac or Respiratory arrest.

Conclusions

The NAS specifically utilises a risk adverse triage system. Examination of dispatch priorities may be warranted. The peak close of RTT calls between 2000-2059 may align with a shift changeover at 2000. Further study is required.
Reflections on Reflective Practice among Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Practitioners in Ireland.
Authors: O'Connor Chris , O'Hara Joe
Published: October 2018

Background

This paper examines the level of engagement of Irish pre-hospital emergency care practitioners with reflection and reflective practice.  It also explores the attitudes of practitioners to reflection and to methodologies designed to support reflective practice such as reflective discussion and video-assisted structured reflection.  Finally it outlines the main barriers to reflection, both individually and collaboratively, and reflective practice gaining widespread acceptance as key learning strategies among pre-hospital emergency care practitioners and educators in Ireland.

Methodologies

This paper is part of a larger project which consisted of three cycles of action research.  Data was collected via an online survey questionnaire, and by conducting a series of semi-structured interviews with various stakeholders.  These included all three clinical levels of pre-hospital emergency care practitioners and educators from emergency service providers, private ambulance services, and voluntary organisations.

Findings

Many practitioners consider themselves to be reflective practitioners.  However, very few of them use a structured model of reflection. Reflection, and reflective practice are not part of the education standards for practitioners in Ireland, and consequently receive very little attention in most education programmes. Practitioners within voluntary organisations perceived that reflective practice was encouraged by their organisation in greater numbers than those from other organisations. Collaborative forums were perceived to be beneficial, although concerns were raised about their potential for abuse and misuse.  These concerns appear to emanate from a lack of trust within certain organisations.

Recommendations

Reflective practice to be included in the education standards for all levels of practitioners in Ireland. Develop and roll-out an education programme for existing practitioners regarding reflection, reflective learning, reflective practice, and structured models of reflection, as part of their CPC requirements. Provide education for all EMS course faculty regarding reflection, reflective learning, reflective practice, and structured models of reflection. A learning contract for all participants and faculty, including a confidentiality agreement, must be in place prior to the establishment of any collaborative forums. Further research to explore the reasons for lack of trust within organisations should be undertaken. Further research is recommended to explore the reasons for the disparity of opinion between volunteer and professional organisations regarding the encouragement of reflective practice.
Der Japan-Blues

Im japanischen Finanzgebäude knirscht das Gebälk. Seit von Monat zu Monat immer neue und von Mal zu lvial immer phantastischer anmutende Inf01mationen über das finanzielle Gebaren der Wirtschafts- und Politikwelt sowie über deren Veifi.lzung mit der japanischen Mafia an die Öffentlichkeit dringen, stellt sich vehement die Frage nach den gesellschaftlich-moralischen Grundlagen des japanischen Modells. Der eklatante Mangel an Kontrolle und Gewaltenteilung im Verhältnis zwischen den Industrie- und Finanzkonzernen auf der einen und den Aufsichtsbehörden auf der anderen Seite sowie das Umgehen von Parlament und Rechtsbehörden bei der Implementation flexibler Handlungsanweisungen erweist sich als späte Rache für die Eifolge der vielgerühmten »Japan AG«.
Die Organisierung der Seele
Authors: Van Krieken Robert
Published: October 2018

Aufhauend auf einem systematischen Vergleich der Theorien von Weber, Elias und Foucault wird eine Kritik der These vom »Zivilisationsprozeß « formuliert, in deren Mittelpunkt der Begriff der »Zivilisationsoffensive« steht. Danach ist die Rationalisierung menschlicher Subjektivität in der Geschichte moderner Gesellschaften weniger einem anonymen Prozeß zunehmender » Verflechtung« geschuldet, als vielmehr dem interessebedingten Handeln konkreter Akteure im historischen Prozeß. Untermauert wird diese Kritik an Elias durch eine Konfrontation seiner Thesen mit den Ergebnissen der neueren Sozialgeschichtsforschung.
Zur Politischen Ökonomie des »post-fordistiscben« Telekommunikationssektors: Der Fall USA
Authors: Lüthje Boy
Published: October 2018

Der Aufsatz befaßt sich mit den Umbrüchen im Telekommunikationssektor der USA, die durch die Entflechtung des ehemaligen Fernmeldemonopols At&T zu Anfang der achtziger Jahre ausgelöst wurden. Die Erosion der unter dem Roosevelt'schen New Deal geschaffenen öffentlichen, sozialstaatlich orientierten Regulierung des Kommunikationswesens und die gegenwärtige Neustrukturierung der Branchenkonkurrenz werden im Kontext des Fordismustheorems interpretiert. In diesem Zusammenhang wird zum einen nach den Besonderheiten des »Nachkriegssozialpaktes« und der Politik der Gewerkschaften im US-Kommunikationswesen gefragt, zum anderen nach den Konsequenzen des Aujbrechens fordistischer Regulationsstrukturen für Lohnabhängige und Gewerkschaften im »Zukunftssektor« Telekommunikation.

Sustainable Development im Nord-Süd-Konflikt
Authors: Marmora Leopoldo
Published: October 2018

This article explores the relationship between the economic exploitation and ecological disadvantaging of the South by the North. Parallel to traditional debates on disparate shares in the world market, terms oftrade ect., a new line ofconfrontation emerges. Tue question goes: How are costs and destruction brought about by modern industrial civilisation to be shared out? Marmora persues the argument (l) that the pattem of traditional distributional conflicts is not applicable to the new constellation of conflicts and (2) that global polarisation between North and South is unlikely to set in. However, a prerequisite for »sustainable development« is that ecological restructuring in industrialised countries be taclded and that developing countries actively take part in world market operations committing themselves to globally protecting the environment.

Dies ausgerechnet in· einer Zeit, in der die transnationale und mulitethnische Kooperationen zumindest ökonomisch immer wichtiger werden.
Angst, Aggression und die nationale Denkform
Authors: Stölting Erhard
Published: October 2018

Die den mittel- und osteuropäischen Nationalismus tragende Denkform gründet in spezifischen Mechanismen: Die Zuschreibung individuellen Handelns auf Kollektive macht kollektive Bestrafangen plausibel, die dann zu wechselseitigen, sich zirkulär bestätigenden Strafaktionen fahren können. Im Hintergrund steht die Angst vor dem Tod der Nation - sei es durch »Überflutung«, sei es durch separatistische Zerstückelung. Die Angst jener, die sich mit der Nation identifizierten, ist eine Realität - wenn auch mit fiktiven, durch politische Emotionalisierung erzeugten und damit von Dritten kalkulierbaren Ursachen.

Concept-transfers between different disciplines have become a main mechanism of scientific progress. Tue Social Science's attitude towards the adoption of topical theories varies from uncritical reception as a 'scientific revolution' to fundamental doubts critcal of ideology.

Wege nach Nirgendwo: Ökonomische Theorie und osteuropäische Transformation
Authors: Hübner Kurt
Published: October 2018

Nach zwei Jahren »schocktherapeutischen« Experimentierens mit den osteuropäischen Gesellschaften steht nicht mehr die Marx'sche Theorie, sondern die Marktorthodoxie auf dem Prüfstand: Keines der angestrebten Ziele - Konvertibilität, monetäre Stabilisierung, ausgeglichene Haushalte etc. - wurde auch nur annähernd erreicht. Verantwortlich hierfür sind nicht zuletzt die Vernachlässigung sozialer und politischer Vermittlungen, die auch in der neoklassischen Theorie ausgeblendet bleiben. Zum Teil gilt dies aber auch für die monetärkeynesianische Alternative der »Berliner Schule«.

To talk about the crisis for 'thc welfarc state' or thc reform of 'the state' in an international setting immediatly raises the question of 'which state? where?'. To someone who has lived most of his life in Europe, there is an additional problem: of what relevance are ideas developed in Europe about 'the state' to people whose main point of reference is the Paraguayan, Bolivian or Argentinian state? The answer can only lie through some conecpt of the fragmentation of a united world. This article is an attempt to develop that point.
Die Krise des internationalen Staates
Authors: Picciotto Sol
Published: October 2018

The capitalist state, although territorially defined, was born and developed as a loose network of interrelated and overlapping jurisdictions. The regulatory framework for corporate capitalism which emerged from the last part of the 19th century was based on the national state, but involved emulation and transplanlation of forms, as well as international coordination; and it facilitated international ownership of capital through lhe transnational corporation, which became the dominant form in the 20th ccntury. TNCs have favoured minimal international coordination while strongly supporting the national state, since they can take advantage of regulatory differences and loopholes. Processes of international coordination of state functions, relying on national legitimation, have taken the form of bureaucratic-administrative corporatist bargaining through a motley network of informal structures as well as the more visible and grand organisations. The growing globalisation of social relations has put increasing pressure both on national and international state structures.

Probleme der Kooperation zwischen asiatischen und angelsächsisch geprägten Ländern im asiatisch-pazifischen Wirtschaftsraum
Authors: Dieter Heribert
Published: October 2018

Economic Co-operation in the Pacific faces two major obstacles. Firstly, there is no Pacific commumity in an economic, political, cultural or linguistic sense. The region is fragmented. Even the countries participating in APEC show extremely different stages of development and therefore are of greatly differing relevance for the region as well as for the world economy. Secondly, the countries of the Pacific show two types of economic regimes: On thc one hand there are the economics of the successful Asian countries, characterised by a high degree of government intervention and succcssful export orientation. On the other hand the Anglo-Saxon countries of the Pacific, namely the US, Australia and New Zealand, show sluggish growth, declinlng competitiveness and decreasing relevance for the region as weil as for the world economy. These two problems will make Pacific economic co-operation extremely difficult and will have to be considered in any scheme for Pacific economic integration.

Vereinheitlichung und Fraktionierung in der Weltgesellschaft. Kritik des globalen Institutionalimus
Authors: Bonder Michael , Röttger Bernd , Ziebura Gilbert
Published: October 2018

While the ideology of the new-world order suggesls that the universalization of the western capitalist model is in progress, in fact globalization is plagued by a dialectic of globalization and fractionalization. The ideological positivism of the common wisdom of 'international relations' is based on a policy in which the establishment of global rules of behavior within the OECD have been stylized as the world model. The rea!ity, however, is that massive tendencies towards fractionalization are present and indeed arise from within the world of the OECD. On the one hand, the horizontal divisions in the global community (differences in development between north and south or east and west) are solidifying. On the other hand, an increasing vertical polarization between rich and poor is developing within the nation states' social formations. If the high expectations of a New World Orderare to be rnet, a transforrnation of the basic structure of capitalism is necessary - not a universalization of the ancien regime.

Published: October 2018

The  analyse and propose the factors that affect the current levels of collaboration which exist among physicians in sharing healthcare information in the selected hospitals in developing countries using HISs , A quantitative method of enquiry was used for this study in the two public hospitals in Selangor state in Malaysia, by using questionnaire instrument. The responses received and analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS). Using the descriptive statistics (e.g., percentage, standard deviations, and means), and five point Likert scales in order to describe the features of data collection to analyse the factors that affect the collaboration among physicians in the selected hospitals.

The result of the analysis showed the current level of collaboration among physicians within the hospitals with regard sharing information using HIS, which was very weak according to many factors. An analysis of the seven kinds of collaboration that exists among physicians was conducted and a mean score of 2.6130 was obtained reflecting minimal collaboration which in other words can be regarded as weak collaboration. The lack of collaboration was found to be as a result of lack of information distribution systems alongside the independent information technology support. In this study it was also found that collaboration occurred only in the form of regular verbal meetings with no form of data sharing through the use of the system. Low rating was also recorded for collaboration among physicians in terms of information sharing among hospitals for the purpose of improving medical research as well as medical activities.

This implies the absence of an efficient information system which enhances data sharing within the hospitals and with other hospitals. Furthermore, the results imply that the real-time sharing of new activity in the hospital and with other hospitals through an information system is yet to be achieved.

Published: October 2018

Kekuatan sambungan bambu salah satunya ditentukan oleh jarak ujung alat sambung. Jarak ujung alat sambung sangat penting untuk diperhatikan pada sambungan bambu dengan baut karena bambu yang berbentuk tubular dan mempunyai gaya geser sejajar serat yang rendah. Kendala tersebut dapat diatasi dengan memberi pengisi disekitar lubang sambungan. Namun demikian, efektifitas dari bambu berpengisi yang diberi celah untuk menempatkan pelat buhul pada sambungan perlu dikaji lebih lanjut. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kuat tarik sambungan bamboo celah berpengisi dengan alat sambung baut pada berbagai variasi jarak ujung dan mengetahui pola kegagalan sambungan. Lima variasi benda uji dibuat dengan jarak ujung masing-masing sebesar 50 mm, 60 mm, 70 mm, 80 mm dan 90 mm. Pengujian benda uji dilakukan pada load frame dan pembebanan diberikan secara bertahap melalui hydaulic jack sampai terjadi kegagalan.

The RBF-FDTD method for modeling the lightning-induced voltages on overhead distribution lines
Authors: Vu Anh Pham Lan , Vu Thien Nhu Phan , Huynh Tron Ngoc , Vu Tu Phan
Published: October 2018

This paper presents an application of the Radial Basis Function – Based Finite Difference Time Domain Method (RBF-FDTD) such as MQ (Multiquadrics), IMQ (Inverse Multiquadrics) and GA (Gaussian) is developed in [1] for modeling the lightning-induced voltages on overhead power lines in both cases of ideal ground and lossy ground. In addition, the influence of corona on the lightning-induced voltages has been considered as well. In order to increasing the accuracy of proposed method, the optimal algorithm of finding the shape parameter has been used. The accuracy, effectiveness and applicability of The MQ, IMQ and GA RBF-FDTD are evaluated through computing the lightning-induced voltages on 110kV overhead distribution lines. The solutions obtained by the RBF-FDTD are compared with those of the traditional FDTD based on the basic solution of the LIOV. The obtained results demonstrate that the RBF-FDTD is always more accurate than the traditional FDTD, in particular with the optimal shape parameter.
Characterization of the T-cell Repertoire after Autologous HSCT in Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis

Published: October 2018

Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), a safer type of HSCT than allogeneic HSCT, is a promising therapy for patients with severe autoimmune diseases (ADs). Despite the long history of medical practice, structural changes in the adaptive immune system as a result of autologous HSCT in patients with various types of ADs remain poorly understood. In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing to investigate the structural changes in the peripheral blood T-cell repertoire in adult patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) during two years after autologous HSCT. The implementation of unique molecular identifiers allowed us to substantially reduce the impact of the biases occurring during the preparation of libraries, to carry out a comparative analysis of the various properties of the T-cell repertoire between different time points, and to track the dynamics of both distinct T-cell clonotypes and T-cell subpopulations. In the first year of the reconstitution, clonal diversity of the T-cell repertoire remained lower than the initial one in both patients. During the second year after HSCT, clonal diversity continued to increase and reached a normal value in one of the patients. The increase in the diversity was associated with the emergence of a large number of low-frequency clonotypes, which were not identified before HSCT. Efficiency of clonotypes detection after HSCT was dependent on their abundance in the initial repertoire. Almost all of the 100 most abundant clonotypes observed before HSCT were detected 2 years after transplantation and remained highly abundant irrespective of their CD4+ or CD8+ phenotype. A total of up to 25% of peripheral blood T cells 2 years after HSCT were represented by clonotypes from the initial repertoire.

Essai de détermination de l'âge géologique à partir des distances réticulaires et des propriétés optiques des allanites radioactives (I)
Authors: Pellas Paul
Published: October 2018

Dans la première partie de cette étude, après avoir envisagé tous les facteurs d'erreur (différences de composition chimique, altérations, recristallisations métamorphiques, etc...) qui pourraient rendre problématiques les déterminations d'âge, on montre que dans de nombreux exemples il est possible d'établir une relation entre l'accroissement de certains intervalles réticulaires et les doses d'irradiation reçues par les allanites. Cette relation, matérialisée en une courbe, permet d'obtenir des âges apparents valables bien qu'approximatifs. Ces âges apparents se rapprochent des âges absolus ou stratigraphiques toutes les fois où un métamorphisme ultérieur n'a pas exercé son influence, auquel cas l'âge apparent date la dernière manifestation métamorphique.

Dans la deuxième partie on montrera que dans la mesure où le pléochroïsme et la biréfringence des allanites requièrent pour s'annuler des doses d'irradiation pré¬ cises, celles-ci peuvent être utilisées pour définir des âges maximaux et minimaux qui, dans certains cas favorables, permettent de délimiter un intervalle de temps correspondant à l'âge apparent.
Étude de la microstructure des roches calcaires par l'observation au microscope électronique de l'orientation des figures de corrosion
Authors: Girard d'Albissin Micheline , Rango Colette de
Published: October 2018

La corrosion des cristaux de calcite par les acides est appliquée à l'étude des microstructures par microscopie électronique. Une étude comparée des effets de la corrosion montre que lorsque l'on passe du spath d'Islande à des marbres, puis à des calcaires microcristallins déformés plastiquement, la densité des figures de corrosion augmente considérablement et leur taille diminue. D'autre part, la corrosion permet de distinguer, au microscope électronique, les joints de grains des cassures, des clivages et des macles et par suite de mieux connaître la structure des microcristaux.

We present a new precision measurement of gas-phase abundances of S, O, N, Si, Fe, P, Al, Ca as well as molecular hydrogen (H2) in the Leading Arm (region II, LA II) of the Magellanic Stream (MS) toward the Seyfert galaxy NGC 3783. The results are based on high-quality archival ultraviolet/optical/radio data from various different instruments (HST/STIS, FUSE, AAT, GBT, GB140 ft, ATCA). Our study updates previous results from lower-resolution data and provides for the first time a self-consistent component model of the complex multiphase absorber, delivering important constraints on the nature and origin of LA II. We derive a uniform, moderate α abundance in the two main absorber groups at +245 and +190 km s−1 of α/H = 0.30 ± 0.05 solar, a low nitrogen abundance of N/H = 0.05 ± 0.01 solar, and a high dust content with substantial dust depletion values for Si, Fe, Al, and Ca. These α, N, and dust abundances in LA II are similar to those observed in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). From the analysis of the H2 absorption, we determine a high thermal pressure of P/k ≈ 1680 K cm−3 in LA II, in line with the idea that LA II is located in the inner Milky Way halo at a z-height of <20 kpc, where it hydrodynamically interacts with the ambient hot coronal gas. Our study supports a scenario in which LA II stems from the breakup of a metal- and dust-enriched progenitor cloud that was recently (200–500 Myr ago) stripped from the SMC.
A Particle Module for the PLUTO Code. II. Hybrid Framework for Modeling Nonthermal Emission from Relativistic Magnetized Flows
Authors: Vaidya Bhargav , Mignone Andrea , Bodo Gianluigi , Rossi Paola , Massaglia Silvano
Published: October 2018

We describe a new hybrid framework to model non-thermal spectral signatures from highly energetic particles embedded in a large-scale classical or relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow. Our method makes use of Lagrangian particles moving through an Eulerian grid where the (relativistic) MHD equations are solved concurrently. Lagrangian particles follow fluid streamlines and represent ensembles of (real) relativistic particles with a finite energy distribution. The spectral distribution of each particle is updated in time by solving the relativistic cosmic ray transport equation based on local fluid conditions. This enables us to account for a number of physical processes, such as adiabatic expansion, synchrotron and inverse Compton emission. An accurate semi-analytically numerical scheme that combines the method of characteristics with a Lagrangian discretization in the energy coordinate is described. In the presence of (relativistic) magnetized shocks, a novel approach to consistently model particle energization due to diffusive shock acceleration is presented. Our approach relies on a refined shock-detection algorithm and updates the particle energy distribution based on the shock compression ratio, magnetic field orientation, and amount of (parameterized) turbulence. The evolved distribution from each Lagrangian particle is further used to produce observational signatures like emission maps and polarization signals, accounting for proper relativistic corrections. We further demonstrate the validity of this hybrid framework using standard numerical benchmarks and evaluate the applicability of such a tool to study high-energy emission from extragalactic jets.

Published: October 2018

We study the neutrino-induced production of nuclides in explosive supernova nucleosynthesis for progenitor stars with solar metallicity including neutrino-nucleus reactions for all nuclei with charge numbers Z < 76, with average neutrino energies in agreement with modern supernova simulations. Considering progenitors with initial main sequence masses between 13 M
⊙ and 30 M
⊙, we find a significant production of 11B, 138La, and 180Ta by neutrino nucleosynthesis, despite the significantly reduced neutrino energies. The production of 19F turns out to be more sensitive to the progenitor mass and structure than to the ν-process. With our complete set of cross sections we have identified the effects of the ν-process on several stable nuclei including 33S, 40Ar, 41K, 59Co, and 113In at the 10% level. Neutrino-induced reactions contribute to a similar extent to the production of radioactive 26Al and increase the yield of 22Na by 50%. Future γ-ray astronomy missions may reach the sensitivity at which the contribution from the ν-process becomes relevant. We find that the production of 22Na by the ν-process could explain the Ne-E(L) component of meteoritic graphite grains. The ν-process enhances the yield of 36Cl and we point out that the resulting 36Cl/35Cl ratio is in agreement with the values inferred for the early solar system. Our extended set of neutrino-nucleus interactions also allows us to exclude any further effects of the ν-process on stable nuclei and to quantify the effects on numerous, hitherto unconsidered radioactive nuclei, e.g., 36Cl, 72As, 84Rb, and 88Y.
From the Entrepreneurial University to the Civic University

The chapter aims to investigate the impact of the presence of the university on the perceived quality of life of the host community. To this aim, the authors focused on a specific area, that is the historical town center of Naples (as defined by the UNESCO in the World Heritage List since 1995), where five universities are located. Adopting a qualitative and explorative approach, 25 in-depth interviews have been conducted with local universities' stakeholders and content-analyzed through the software Nvivo 10. Thus, the authors identified precisely the multiplicity of activities through which the presence of the university contributes to the socio-economic and cultural well-being of the community of which it is part, thinking about the dynamics that may occur in the case of an urban-located university. Based on the findings, a conceptual model is proposed that may be further validated with new investigations.
Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography for Trabecular Bone Quality Analysis in Maxilla and Mandible
Authors: Bobby T. Christy , Shwetha V.  , Madhavi Vijaya
Published: October 2018

The stability of a dental implant is one of the most important aspects that decide the success rate of implant treatment. The stability is considerably affected by the strength of trabecular bone present in maxilla and mandible. Thus, finding of trabecular bone strength is a key component for the success of dental implants. The trabecular bone strength is usually assessed by quantity of bone in terms of bone mineral density (BMD). Recently, it has been revealed that along with quantity of bone, strength of the bone also depends on quality features commonly referred as trabecular bone microarchitecture. Since the quality of the trabecular bone is varying across the maxilla and mandible, preoperative assessment of trabecular bone microarchitecture at sub-region of maxilla and mandible are essential for stable implant treatment. Thus, in this chapter, the authors inscribe the quantitative analysis of trabecular bone quality in maxilla and mandible using CBCT images by employing contourlet transform.

A numerical investigation of steady state heat transfer phenomenon in human tooth is carried out in this present study. The materials generally used for repairing human tooth are ceramics, gold, structural steel, and copper. These materials are considered for the three-dimensional heat transfer analysis. The shape of the teeth is considered as perfect cubic of dimensions 5mm X 5mm X 1.5mm. The simulation results show that the teeth are subjected to temperatures of varying nature in both X and Y directions whereas Z direction is same. It is found that the temperature is maximum at the top of the teeth and minimum at bottom of the teeth (i.e., root). The contours of the heat transfer analysis for various teeth materials shows that the layers of the teeth are subjected to varying temperature. It is also found that the heat transfer characteristics depend not only on shape and boundary conditions but also on the materials used for the teeth selection.

Evolution is inevitable. In examining leadership theories over several decades, the evolution of leadership principles in terms of definition and application help shape the business industry on a domestic and global scale. Throughout the continued evolutionary period, the concept of leadership continues to encounter challenges from its practical use within organizational environments, thus presenting continuous opportunities for additional research. Such evolution is apparent in business model transitions addressing sustainability. This chapter examines the concepts of sustainability and proposed future directions calling for increased educational opportunities as the term “sustainability” grows within the business lexicon. Such educational opportunities include trainings, educational courses, and programs focused on developing collaborative relationships within the team. Developing sustainable business models are important during transformational leadership.

Urbanization is creating enormous pressure for the effective utilization of the existing land with demolition of old structures for new and modern structures. The debris produced in demolition of these structures are in large amount and disposal of this waste in sustainable manner is the biggest challenge being faced today and should be considered as a resource. With the increasing waste production and public concerns regarding the environment, it is desirable to recycle these materials. If suitably processed in appropriate industrial plants, these materials can be profitably used in concrete. This chapter highlights the composition of construction and demolition waste, the necessity for its recycling, and possibilities that can be implemented for its resourceful use, further focusing on current trends in this field by elaborating various ways to use these waste from laboratory research scale to commercially available technologies around the globe. The chapter concludes with future research directions and guidelines for sustainable use of these wastes.
