Self Made Nostril Retainer
Authors: Raymond Benni , Sudjatmiko Gentur
Published: January 2019

The main feature of the unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity is the asymmetry of the nose compared with the non cleft side. Nasal stents or nostril retainers are suggested to be useful in the management of these patients in order to maintain the new morphology and to mold the shape during healing process. To date, there are many types of factory made nostril retainer, but the price is relatively expensive and in contrary, most of our patient came from low-income population. The idea is to provide an easy and practical nostril retainer to obtain, easy to manufacture and easy to apply preoperatively and postoperatively, and it is also cost effective. Primary nose model including the nasal cavity is designed on the basis of non cleft side of patient’s nose. It is made by injecting alginate as negative impression. We use gypsum powder as positive impression material. From that positive impression, we mirror it to create other side of the nostril. Nostril retainer is then made using home-use silicone gel. We postulate that by using self-made nostril retainer which is made using cheap material. All of our patients could afford one, because the use of nostril retainer has been found effective post operatively after cleft primary rhinoplasty, avoiding relapse of the nasal reconstruction and drop of the nasal ala.

Published: January 2019

Background: Honey has been used in wound care since ancient times. Many publications attest antibacterial activity of manuka honey against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, S. aureus, and Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). However, antibacterial effect of local honey from Indonesia has never been studied and compared to medical grade honey before. This study aim to compare antibacterial activity of local honey and manuka honey against P. aeruginosa, S. aureus and MRSA.Methods: The honeys were tested for their antimicrobial activities with broth dilution method. Different concentrations of honey were prepared in reaction tubes. Strains of P.aeruginosa, S. aureus, and MRSA were grown in nutrient broth. These strains of bacteria then added to the different concentrations of honey. Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) is the lowest concentration of the honey that yielded no growth of bacteria.Results: MIC of local honey for P. aeruginosa is 50%, for S. aureus is 100% and for MRSA is 100%. MIC of manuka honey for P. aeruginosa is 12,5%, for S. aureus is 25%, and for MRSA is 12,5%.Conclusion: Nusantara Manuka have the similar antibacterial activity spectrum against P. aeruginosa, MRSA and S. aureus, but it must be given in greater concentration to exert the same level of antibacterial activity with Manuka honey.

Authors: Naim Zainul , Supit Laureen , Sutrisno Eddy , Buchari Frank Bietra
Published: January 2019

Background: This study aim to evaluate the effect of subcutaneous application of recombinant human granuloctyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) around wounds and how it in"uences the speed of wound healing. Methods: The study utilizes Mus musculus mice in a controlled laboratory setting. Mice are divided into 3 groups: A (n = 4) receiving rhGM-CSF 10?g/kg, B (n = 4) receiving dexamethasone 10 mg/kg and C (n = 5) receiving placebo as control. Full thickness wound was made, and either rhGM-CSF, dexamethasone, or nothing were given on the wound subcutaneously for 6 days. On day 7, all rats were sacrificed and a 4-mm area from the edge of the wound were subjected for histologic examinations. Pattern of neovascularization and keratinocyte proliferation were analyzed.Results: The data shows a higher rate of neovascularization and keratinocyte proliferation in the rhGMCSF group compared to the steroid and placebo groups (p = 0.001). Not difference in the rate of keratinocyte proliferations (p = 0.085) and neovascularization (p = 0.935) are found between the dexamethasone and control groups.Discussion: Granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) hastens wound healing in wildtype mice by increasing the rate of keratinocyte proliferation and neovascular formation, while dexamethasone has a tendency to hinder wound healing because it acts as a GM-CSF inhibitor.

Published: January 2019

A randomized double blind clinical trial was conducted to study the effects of iron supplementation on hemoglobin values of 97 iron-deficient anemic (DA) and iron-sufficient (IS) infants, 12 to 18 months of age. IDA (n=SO) infants were assigned randomly to either receive dietary ferrous sulfate or placebo for 4 months. Similar treatment randomization was done among IS (n=4 7) infants. Before intervention, the mean hemoglobin value of the IDA infants was significantly (p<0.01) lower than that of the IS group. After intervention, there was an increase in the hemoglobin values of the IDA infants who had received iron, and was significantly (p<0.01) higher than those of the placebo treated IDA group, lS group, as well as placebo treated IS group. Hemoglobin values of the IDA infants who had received iron, increased up to the normal level as refer to the WHO's criteria used for normal hemoglobin values.

The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to evaluate the breastfeeding promotion program m Dr. C1pto Mangunkusumo general hospital which we started m 1991. The study was done from July 1992 until March 1993. During that time. We could follow 249 mother-infant pairs every month for 4 months. Results: 1. Babies who received only breast milk during hospital stay did not lose more weight if compared to babies who got some formula. 2. Not a single baby lost weight more ~10% during hospital stay· Prelacteal feeding delayed the adequacy of breastmilk; 4. Though prelacteal feeding once or twice by spoon did not interfere with full breast feeding at the age of 4 months, yet mothers whose babies were given prelacteal feeding started to give supplementary food earlier; 5. Family income places a role in the decision to give early food supplement.

Published: January 2019

Introduction: Percutaneous subclavian vein catheterization via infraclavicular approach is one of the most widely used cannulation techniques for inserting catheters into a central vein. The aim of this study was to evaluate influence of arm position during infraclavicular subclavian vein catheterization with landmark-based technique in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Methods: Between September 2017 and June 2018, this prospective randomized clinical trial was performed in 320 patients. The patients were randomly assigned to the Neutral group (the arms kept by the side) or Abduction group (the arm was abducted to 90°). The success and complication rates were compared in the two groups. The data were analyzed using SPSS software. Results: In the first attempt of subclavian vein cannulation, the success rate had no significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.185). In the second attempt of catheterization, the success rate in Abduction group (40.5%) was lower than Neutral group (81.2%). The overall success rate in two attempts were (84.4%) in the Abduction group and (96.2%) in the Neutral group. There was a significant difference between two groups in the second and overall success rates (P = 0.0001). In 34 (10.6%) patients, subclavian artery puncture occurred, 30 (18.8%) in the Abduction group and 4 (2.5%) in the Neutral group. There was a significant difference between two groups (P = 0.0001). Pneumothorax was occurred in 15 (9.4%) in the Abduction group and 3 (1.9%) in the Neutral group. There was also a significant difference between two groups (P = 0.004). The differences in other complications on two groups were statistically insignificant. Conclusion: Compared with Abduction group, the Neutral group resulted in higher success rate and fewer subclavian artery puncture and pneumothorax. The incidences of other complications were similar on both groups.

Published: January 2019

Introduction: Morphology of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) may have implication in the associated pathologies including aortic stenosis (AS), aortic insufficiency (AI) and aortic dilation. The aim of this study is to investigate the frequency and patterns of valvular dysfunction and aortopathy associated with different phenotypes of BAV in a referral center in northwest of Iran. Methods: In this prospective study patients who presented to our echocardiography lab between January 2014 and December 2015 and were diagnosed with BAV were assessed. Frequency of various BAV phenotypes and their association with valvular dysfunction and aortopathy was evaluated. A P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The average age of the study patients was 40±16 years, with predominance of male sex (72%). Patients with anteroposteriorly located BAV (BAV-AP) phenotype constituted majority of our cases with prevalence of 62.7%, while 37.3% of cases had right-left (BAV-RL) located valves. BAV-RL patients when compared to BAV-AP patients had higher frequencies of dilated aortic arch (25% vs. 4.3%, P < 0.001), AS (56.3% vs. 31.4%, P < 0.001), mass or vegetation on aortic valve (14.3 vs. 6.4%, P = 0.023) and lower frequencies of dilated aortic root (42.9% vs. 57.4%, P = 0.01), aortic insufficiency (68.8% vs. 79.8%, P = 0.034) and co-arctation of aorta (3.6% vs. 11.7%, P = 0.01). Conclusion: There seems to be a relationship between various BAV phenotypes, and frequency and pattern of aortic valve dysfunction and aortopathy. These findings suggest that examining leaflet morphology in BAV might help in risk stratification of these patients.

Authors: Kumar Shailesh , Thakur Devyani , Gupta Ritesh Kumar , Sharma Alka
Published: January 2019

Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker which is widely used as an anti-hypertensive drug. Amlodipine overdose has been infrequently reported with the occurrence of serious complications and even death in a few cases. We report an interesting case of a young lady who presented with refractory shock with acute kidney injury, which did not respond to therapy despite optimal fluid replacement and vasopressor support. The etiology of shock could not be ascertained and the patient was questioned again to elucidate the missing clue in the history. It was finally revealed that the patient had consumed 900 mg of amlodipine in a suicide bid, for her poor performance in academics. The targeted therapy in the form of IV calcium and hyperinsulinemia-euglycemia therapy (HIET) was started and the patient dramatically improved with shock reversal and improvement in renal function.
La autorreferencialidad en el cine documental en América Latina
Authors: Calvo de Castro Pablo , Marcos Ramos María
Published: January 2019

Uno de los elementos más significativos para el cine documental contemporáneo, analizando el posicionamiento del autor respecto a la obra y a la realidad, es la cuestión de la autorreferencialidad, donde el autor se mira a sí mismo o reelabora la imagen ajena desde su punto de vista. Esta tendencia es compartida en el cine documental y en la literatura, como perspectiva subjetiva y personal, aunque sufre un periodo de ruptura en ambos géneros a partir del desencanto de la producción cinematográfica y la producción literaria tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial.  En las décadas posteriores a este hecho y hasta la actualidad, se observa una clara evolución de esta tendencia reflejada en este artículo a través de varios ejemplos de la cinematografía documental de América Latina.

Rates of cannabis use among adolescents are high, and are increasing concurrent with changes in the legal status of marijuana and societal attitudes regarding its use. Recreational cannabis use is understudied, especially in the adolescent period when neural maturation may make users particularly vulnerable to the effects of Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on brain structure. In the current study, we used voxel-based morphometry to compare gray matter volume (GMV) in forty-six 14-year-old human adolescents (males and females) with just one or two instances of cannabis use and carefully matched THC-naive controls. We identified extensive regions in the bilateral medial temporal lobes as well as the bilateral posterior cingulate, lingual gyri, and cerebellum that showed greater GMV in the cannabis users. Analysis of longitudinal data confirmed that GMV differences were unlikely to precede cannabis use. GMV in the temporal regions was associated with contemporaneous performance on the Perceptual Reasoning Index and with future generalized anxiety symptoms in the cannabis users. The distribution of GMV effects mapped onto biomarkers of the endogenous cannabinoid system providing insight into possible mechanisms for these effects.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTAlmost 35% of American 10th graders have reported using cannabis and existing research suggests that initiation of cannabis use in adolescence is associated with long-term neurocognitive effects. We understand very little about the earliest effects of cannabis use, however, because most research is conducted in adults with a heavy pattern of lifetime use. This study presents evidence suggesting structural brain and cognitive effects of just one or two instances of cannabis use in adolescence. Converging evidence suggests a role for the endocannabinoid system in these effects. This research is particularly timely as the legal status of cannabis is changing in many jurisdictions and the perceived risk by youth associated with smoking cannabis has declined in recent years.
Особливості організації логопедичної роботи з дітьми дошкільного віку
Authors: Lysenko Oleksandra , Kaminska Olha
Published: January 2019

Статтю присвячено вивченню особливості організації логопедичної роботи з дітьми дошкільного віку. Здійснено аналіз ролі розвитку мовлення у загальному психічному розвитку дитини, проявів мовленнєвих порушень у дошкільному віці та їх вплив на особистісний розвиток дитини.У зв’язку з тим, що правильне мовлення є однією з важливих передумов подальшого повноцінного розвитку дитини, процесу соціальної адаптації, виявлення та усунення мовленнєвих порушень необхідно проводити на ранніх етапах.Відхилення у розвитку мовлення відбиваються на формуванні всього психічного життя дитини. Вони утрудняють спілкування з навколишніми, нерідко перешкоджають правильному формуванню пізнавальних процесів, впливають на емоційно-вольову сферу дитини.Психолого-педагогічна корекція мовлення у дітей логопедичних груп повинна включа-ти комплекс заходів, спрямованих на усунення несприятливої дії різних соціальних чинників, на поліпшення загального психічного стану дитини, на формування в неї інтересу до мов-ного спілкування та необхідних навичок поведінки, на організацію правильного мовленнєвого виховання.Якщо виявити ймовірність виникнення мовленнєвого недорозвитку та почати логопедичну роботу в сенситивний період формування мовлення, це дасть можливість використати усі переваги цього періоду й, отже, попередити чи пом’якшити мовленнєве порушення, у ліпшому випадку – усунути його, забезпечивши повноцінний розвиток дитини. Завдання логопеда та психолога спільно з батьками переконати дитину, що мову можна виправити, можна допомогти маляті стати таким, як всі.

Straipsnyje svarstomi probleminiai teoriniai knygos muziejų aspektai (jų funkcijos, rūšys, specifika kitų muziejų kontekste, panašumai ir skirtumai lyginant su bibliotekų dokumentinio paveldo padaliniais), nagrinėjami knygos muziejų steigties, raidos, registracijos, paplitimo Europoje XX a. antrojoje pusėje klausimai. Išsiaiškinta, kad nors knygos muziejaus ir bibliotekų specialiųjų padalinių (Retų spaudinių, Rankraščių skyrių) funkcijos labai panašios arba net sutampa (saugoti, tirti, aktualinti dokumentinį paveldą) ir skirtis tarp šių institucijų yra minimali, funkcijų reikšmingumo lygis yra knygos muziejaus ir bibliotekų paveldo skyrių skiriamasis požymis. Knygos muziejų raidai nustatyti buvo išanalizuotas istoriografiniu požiūriu vertingas 1987 m. paskelbtas „Knygos ir knygininkystės muziejų sąvadas“, jame pateikta informacija apie universaliuosius Europos knygos muziejus lyginta su šiandienos situacija. Prieita prie išvados, kad susidomėjimas knygos muziejais XX a. antrojoje pusėje buvo dėsningas to meto knygotyros raidos rezultatas. Knygos muziejų steigties sparta XX a. 7–9-ajame dešimtmečiais buvo tiesiogiai susijusi su to meto knygotyros, kaip perspektyvios mokslo disciplinos, suaktyvėjimu Europos ir pasaulio moksle. Iš dešimties tuomet Europoje veikusių universaliųjų knygos muziejų šiuo metu tokie tėra tik penki, kiti arba buvo uždaryti,arba savo veiklą susiaurino, keitė savo profilį. Kai kurie liko itin tradicinio akademinio pobūdžio, jų padėtis šiandienos moderniosios muziejininkystės kontekste, kai visas dėmesys telkiamas į lankytoją, o ne į pačius muziejinius objektus, problemiška.

Jo laiškai kai kurioms valstybinėms institucijoms ir visuomeninėms organizacijoms, kuriuose buvo kreipiamasi su įvairiais argumentuotais prašymais ar pasiūlymais, atskleidžia realius ketinimus siekti valstybės dėmesio, palaikymo ir paramos, įrodyti knygrišystės meno svarbą. Nors jo pastangos nebuvo realizuotos, tikėtina, kad jo straipsniai darė įtaką to meto knygos bendruomenei. Kadangi apie knygrišystę vienintelis rašė tiek daug, šių dienų tyrėjui jis paliko nemažai gana patikimų duomenų (kuriuos patvirtina ir kiti šaltiniai) apie to meto knygrišystę ir jos problemas, meistrus ir kainas, statistinius duomenis ir vertinimus, darbo metodus, mokymosi šaltinius, turimas žinias, gebėjimus, priemones. Kol kas nežinoma nė vienos šio knygrišio įrištos knygos. Taip pat lieka daug nežinomų biografijos faktų, todėl tikimasi, kad šis straipsnis paskatins ar palengvins tolesnius šio asmens gyvenimo ir veiklos tyrimus, padės atrasti ir identifikuoti jo įrišus.

Agency, control, and means-ends about school performance in Lithuanian children (grades 4-6)
Authors: Šimulionienė Roma
Published: January 2019

This study examined beliefs about factors affecting school performance and about self-agency and control in Lithuanian children (grades 4-6, N = 379). Results revealed much intercultural convergence with the samples from other countries in children’s beliefs about the importance of effort, ability, luck and unknown factors as causes of school performance. The only difference we found was in the beliefs about the importance of teachers. Their ratings were the lowest. But at the same time the ratings of the accessability of teacher as a mean of school success were high (second after effort).The agency and control beliefs were moderately and highly correlated with school grades (r = 0,29-0,57). The fourth graders showed higher agency and control beliefs and the lowest correlations with school performance. These findings are interpreted as beeing affected by positive changes in Lithuanian school system.

Identity and identity crisis in adolescence
Authors: Vaičiulienė Aldona
Published: January 2019

The purpose in a study of 263 secondary school students at age 16-17 was to assess the level of identity development in the middle adolescence. Methods used were an identity status questioning (EOMEIS-2) and Shostrom's Personal Orientation Inventory (POI). In comparison with ideological sphere, interpersonal sphere occurred as more achieved in identity development. The results show statistically meaningful differences in identity development level between two spheres. Interpersonal sphere in a high degree is distinguished by adolescent crisis as period of explorations. The correlation of identity achievement statuses with POI scales scores suggests that, identity achievement is related to the personal need to be inner-directed and self-actualizing.
Perception of acute angles

Published: January 2019

Experiments are reported which examine the judgement of the mean orientation of a single straight line (lest line) in presence of nearby lines of somewhat different orientations (induction line). It is shown, that perceived orientation of a segment of the test line is biased towards orientation of the induction line when the distance between the test and the induction line less than 0.1 deg. When this distance between 0.1--0.8 deg. a segment of the test line is biased from orientation of induction line and when this distance more 0.8 deg. the orientation of a segment of the test line remains unchanged.
Solution peculiarities of solving multiplication and division word problems
Authors: Martišius Vaclovas , Balkutė Živilė
Published: January 2019

The main purpose of investigation was to evaluate the peculiarities of thinking of 9-11 years old children, when they are solving arithmetic word problems in mind without any opportunity to operate with visual aids. Problems of first two series were constructed analogical to the tasks by O. Frydman and P. Bryant. Solving word problems our children did not try to imagine or express in drawings the situation described in a problem, i. e. they solved differently than 5-6 years old children in the investigation of O. Frydman and P. Bryant. It is possible to make a conclusion that it is particularly difficult correctly to interpret the ratio of object quantity for 9-11 years old children. They are tending to relate this dimensionless ratio with amount of things. The common multiples of the two quantities have no influence on problem solving. Some children interpret multiplicative relations additively.
A szexuális funkciózavar és a metabolikus szindróma kapcsolata

Abstract:

The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, obesity and depression have increased during the recent years. As the sexual dysfunction is also frequent, we aimed to search for the associations between sexual dysfunction and the metabolic syndrome and its components, respectively, by reviewing the literature. The clinical and biochemical components of the metabolic syndrome included cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, visceral obesity and depression, furthermore, insulin resistance, atherogenic lipid profile, hypogonadism, chronic systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction were all demonstrated to affect adversely the sexual function. The dysfunction of the sexual arousal response shows a strong association in men and a milder one in women with the cardiovascular diseases and depression. Sexual function in diabetes mellitus is mostly impaired by microvascular injury, polyneuropathy and autonomic neuropathy. Erectile dysfunction and disorder of the female sexual arousal response and the orgasm, respectively, are associated with insulin resistance, atherogenic lipid profile and systemic inflammatory condition in overweight or obese patients. Sexual dysfunction particularly in men can be an early sign of the severe complications of metabolic syndrome. The pathogenetic link between the metabolic syndrome and the sexual dysfunction seems to be the insulin resistance. Both metabolic syndrome and sexual dysfunction can be restored by altering the lifestyle. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(3): 98–103.
Az inzulinkezelés elkezdésének gyakorlati akadályai 2-es típusú cukorbetegekben – a „pszichológiai inzulinrezisztencia” leküzdése
Authors: Rácz Olivér , Linková Marcela , Jakubowski Krzysztof , Link Robert , Kuzmová Daniela
Published: January 2019

Abstract:

Type 2 diabetes is a progressive disease and its consequence is the gradual decrease of endogenous insulin secretion to a very low level. Beyond this point, without insulin it is not possible to achieve proper metabolic compensation. The authors are trying to explain why the insulin therapy is often delayed in type 2 diabetic patients despite existing guidelines about its initiation and continuation. The causes of delay can be divided into two groups. One is the fear and disagreement of the patients (psychological insulin resistance – PIR) arising from different cognitive, emotional and other reasons. The second is the “clinical inertia”, when the physicians are not able to explain in an effective and persuasive way the rationale and necessity of insulin treatment to their patients. The common background of both causes is the lack of sufficient knowledge about the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and the rationale of insulin treatment together with an insufficient level of communication between doctor and patient. The authors see the solution in the improvement of pre- and postgradual education of doctors and other health care providers (nurses, educators, psychologists), in their mutual cooperation and the translation of their knowledge towards a system of successful patient education.

Beyond Vote Rigging: Common Patterns in Electoral Malpractices in De-Democratizing Regimes
Authors:   University of Warsaw, Szymański Adam , Ufel Wojciech
Published: January 2019

For the past decade in many countries in Europe and its close neighborhood we have observed different types of processes which can be named as “de-democratization”. The aim of the article is to analyze the state of elections as the crucial democratic institution which fairness and competitiveness have a substantial impact on the political regime. While Turkey as a “role model” for our analysis remains a main focus of the article, three European countries were selected for a comparison based on their relative similarity to Turkey – Hungary, Macedonia (FYROM) and Serbia. The following questions are posed: Are elections in these countries free, fair and competitive? Can some types of electoral malpractice and irregularities be identified? How does the state of elections in terms of their fairness and competitiveness influence the political regime? The main hypothesis is that in the analyzed countries elections competitiveness limited by incumbents can become a factor deciding about the change within the political regime in the long run (loss of democratic quality) and also change the regime (to a less democratic one).
Electoral System of the Republic of Belarus after 25 Years of Independence
Authors:   Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Kuleszewicz Anna
Published: January 2019

This paper aims to present a case study analysis of the condition of the electoral system in the Republic of Belarus after more than a quarter of a century of independence. The main purpose of the paper is to explain the discrepancies between legislation and practice. The author intended to note a real situation that dominates the country’s political scene in comparison to theoretical establishments. A Constitution of the Republic (created in 1994, with minor changes in 1996 and 2004) is the legal ground of the electoral system, however, procedural details were drawn up in the Electoral Code. The principles of Belarusian electoral code consist of some statements known from democratic models, such as universal suffrage, direct suffrage, secret ballot and equality. There are different types of elections in Belarus but the most important ones are presidential and parliamentary elections. Despite the detailed legal rules for conducting these elections, in fact, the principles of democracy, as well as the internal rules in Belarus, are not respected. Both presidential and parliamentary elections have shown this in recent years. Independent observers for a long time have been alarming about worrying electoral practices in Belarus. It is also worth emphasizing that since 1994, one man has been in power uninterruptedly, and Parliament has in fact a symbolic function. In the source materials, the author used Belarusian legal acts, analyses and reports, press notes as well as scientific papers.
The Formation of Local Self-government During the System Transformation Period in Poland and the Former GDR: A Comparative Study
Authors:   University of Zielona Góra, Jarosz Adam
Published: January 2019

This paper presents changes that have occurred at the local level in Poland and new German federal states during the process of the post-communist system transformation. The stages of rebuilding the local self-government and its structures are analyzed. The experiences of Poland and Eastern Germany – two states where the system transformation took different courses – were compared. At the same time, both countries have different constitutional orders of the unitary state and federal state, and this context are interesting fields for a comparative analysis. This paper also confronts the two methods of institution building – the importing of well-established institutions and developing them in the evolutionary way, where in both cases path a dependency can be well observed. In Germany this is considered a special case (Sonderfall) of institutional transformation, in which the key role was played by the transference of institutions, personnel and financial means. This was also done much quicker and in a more structured and comprehensive way than in Poland. In the case of Poland, the creation of local self-government structures or shaping the political actors was a grassroots and evolutionary process. This article points out the most important factors that had a crucial significance in the course and results of the transformation and explains different ways of developing the system of democratic local self-government.
Low-temperature fracture resistance of asphalt mixtures modified with carbon nanotubes
Authors: Mansourkhaki Ali , Aghasi Amir
Published: January 2019

Low-temperature cracking is one of the main distresses of asphalt pavements, which reduces their serviceability and leads to water ingress into lower layers of the pavement. The use of modified asphalt mixtures is a way of preventing low-temperature cracking in cold regions. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the fracture resistance of asphalt mixtures modified with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) at low temperatures under different loading conditions using fracture mechanics concepts. Bending beam rheometer (BBR) tests were performed on the neat binder and binders containing 0·5% and 1·2% CNTs to determine the effect of the modifier on the stiffness and relaxation rate of the asphalt binder at low temperatures. Cracked semi-circular bending specimens were then subjected to a fracture test under different loading conditions, which induced deformation from pure opening of the crack mouth (mode I) to pure in-plane shear of the crack (mode II). The results of the BBR tests indicated that 0·5% and 1·2% CNT reduced the stiffness and increased the creep stiffness rate at low temperatures and, as a result, had a positive effect on low-temperature performance by improving thermal cracking resistance. Based on the fracture test results, the asphalt mixtures with 0·5% and 1·2% CNTs showed higher resistance against crack growth than the unmodified asphalt mixture.
