Письмо Натана Филда к Томасу Саттону в контексте театральной полемики раннестюартовской Англии
Authors: Шипулина Виктория Андреевна , Макаров Владимир Сергеевич
Published: May 2020

В статье рассмотрен малоизвестный документ театральной полемики в Англии начала XVII в. — письмо актера и драматурга Джона Филда одному из священников церкви Спасителя и Девы Марии Овери (в настоящее время Саутуоркского собора) Томасу Саттону. Сопоставляя позицию Филда с критикой театра, которую в сохранившихся проповедях вел сам Саттон, а ранее — отец Филда, известный пуританский проповедник, авторы показывают, что важной частью театральной полемики был спор о месте актера в христианском обществе. Филд настаивает на праве актеров быть одновременно и чадами Церкви, а не работниками кощунственной школы соблазна.
A Visitor’s Hybrid Smart Guide Control System
Authors: Mosiori Cliff Orori
Published: May 2020

Modern industrial society is filled with hybrid systems. The effectiveness of a control system is now a basic requirement in any institution. In general terms, hybrid systems are reactive systems that intermix discrete and continuous control components in which the discrete part of that control system makes the decision on behaving for the whole designed system and further decides if it can allow it to switch to another set of control protocols when appropriate conditions are availed. The continuous part only functions according to a specified protocol. Hybrid systems are common models used in digital (logic) and continuous networks and devices. Digital control programs detect, control, and supervise continuous and discrete systems using differential or difference equations. This principle was utilized in our design and reported thereof. Although this work developed a different method to deal with specific problems facing students at Technical University of Mombasa.  An upgrade was recommended so as to extend the control system to the eye- impaired students and visitors. Since the issue of optimal smart control systems cannot be ignored in the design of new control systems with today's requirements in our learning institutions, it was concluded that further research was necessary to bring about a fully reliable and well-developed control system able to use real-time and real routes as they exist at the university ground. This work reports a hybrid control guide system designed and implemented at the Technical University of Mombasa.

Published: May 2020

Metal nitride multilayer films display a unique combination of exceptional properties with respect to optical absorption, thermal emission, corrosion resistance, adhesion between coating and surface and high temperature withstand. Most considerable aspects of nitride coatings were economical, environmentally friendly and easy to develop. Similar to nitride thin films, to achieve a considerable absorption (α) -0.92 and low emission (Є) -0.08 along with chemical and radiation stable solar selective coatings, Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) thin films exhibit the desirable properties for Concentrated Solar thermal Power(CSP)applications. The main advantages of DLC films were high hardness, chemical and radiation stability and good control over the optical properties. To achieve above-mentioned properties, optimization of each layer of the DLC coating has needed. The main aim of this research is optimization of Cr-base layer using Cr-Target current 175A to get 125 nm thicknesses, optimise the AlSiN absorber layer by controlling the AlSi- target current 175A to maintain 35nm thickness. The sequence of the DLC coating layers was selected based on their relative thickness, which was optimize to get good solar selectivity (α/Є). Individual layers of the DLC solar coatings have unique properties to get overall required high absorbance and low emission along with chemical and radiation stability. These solar selective multi-layers (Cr/DLC/AlSiN) have deposited by using available Cathodic targets (Cr , AlSi & Ti) in Cathodic Arc Physical Vapor Deposition (CAPVD) and optimized parameters were mainly depend on the target currents to control over the thickness of the each layer, base pressure 1*10-5 mbar and deposition temperature 400°C. The DLC multilayer solar selective coatings were characterized using Ultraviolet Visible Near infrared (UV- Vis- NIR) spectrophotometer, Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Raman spectroscopy etc. Scratch test and corrosion tests have conducted for these absorber coatings testing.

Authors: Nasir Muhammad
Published: May 2020

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study demonstrated how Armenian Massacres as crime fiction developed in response to finding their identity by tracing the ethnic criminal or heritage against their descendants. Besides, by looking at this genocide against the Armenian racial, I found it increasingly difficult to ignore the link between self-identity and the race criminalization conducted by the authority Methodology: In this study, the writer implemented New Historicism theory by looking at the historical background, and combined with Horney Psychoanalysis of Personality, through the activities conducted by the characters. Then, through analyzing the plot and the whole story, the writer found that self-awareness of those characters could be seen in different forms and cultures. Based on those theories that people who know themselves will know what they think, feel, and believe; they will be able to take responsibility for themselves and be able to determine their values by reflecting their personality Main Findings: Self-identity and Armenian descendants could be portrayed significantly, and they were very appropriate with the identity of the characters shown in the texts. Here, the writer also found that a novelist like Tom Frist (2015) used the backdrop of massacres to write about the inner lives of Turkish criminals. He focused directly on the narrative dilemmas posed by American Armenian. His work attempted to uncouple race from crime, and this writer showed us how massacres fiction became a necessary identity form for American Armenian who lived as migration and diaspora. Applications of this study: So, the study of Armenian descendants was not only useful for a literary critic but also presented the history and ethnic cleansing in Turkey. And through this analysis, we learned more about the bitter experiences faced by deportees as shown in the setting places and the author’s perspective. Novelty/Originality of this study: Finally, I believed that tracing the Armenian descendants and self-identity was fascinating by identifying the characters shown in the novel.

Published: May 2020

Purpose of the study: The research aims to identify the need and level of English Academic Proficiency (EAP) of lecturers in Padang, Indonesia, in using English. Methodology: From a total of 365 lecturers in the entire six faculties at UIN Imam Bonjol Padang, Indonesia, 92 lecturers were selected randomly as respondents for this research. To collect data, a questionnaire was used to gather the lecturers’ perception of the need for EAP programs, which is related to their ability in four language skills (listening, reading, speaking, and writing) and on the EAP test. Main Findings: A majority of lecturers needed an EAP course to improve their professionalism and competences. They preferred speaking and writing for future careers or activities such as writing English books, journals, and reports, participating in international events, becoming credible academic staff, developing teaching profession, and other individual competences to improve their professionalism. This study found a majority of their ability in EAP was in the levels of elementary and intermediate. Applications of this study: This study suggests that if Indonesia expects its policy of teaching profession reform to be successful, intensive and consistent lecturers’ development and programs must be well-organized, and sufficient resources must be allocated so that all faculty members, especially those under the Ministry of Religious Affairs, can meet the objectives. Novelty/Originality of this study: No specific reports on EAP need analysis for lecturers in Indonesia are found. The current need to design an EAP program need-based analysis assessment would help instructors to communicate their research in both written and oral English successfully. This program should aid academics to report on their research not only in written form but also in spoken language.

Published: May 2020

Purpose of the study: This study was aimed at investigating the students’ attitudes and perception toward the use of Duolingo in Learning English Methodology: A mixed-method design (quantitative-qualitative) was employed in this study. 60 undergraduate students of Syiah Kuala University participated in this study. They were chosen by using purposive sampling techniques. In obtaining the data, questionnaires and interviews were implemented in this study. In the question area, there were 16 close-ended questions adapted from Yang (2012a) and Garcia Botero and Questier (2016) designed using the Likert scale method. Besides, 3 interview questions were asked to 10 chosen students to deeply reveal their perception in using the Duolingo. Main Findings: The result indicated that most students have a positive perception of the use of Duolingo in learning English (Mean=4.0). This study has found that students view Duolingo as a useful and helpful application and a motivational tool in learning English. One of the more significant findings to emerge from this study is the inconsistency between the students’ perception and their acts in using the application. Their positive view on the use of Duolingo was contrary to the fact that they are lacking time in using the application. Applications of this study: This study is intended to shed some lights on how the students perceive their experiences in learning English after using the Duolingo as a part of their out of class engagement. Novelty/Originality of this study: The students’ motivation to learn English outside of the classroom can be enhanced through the use of the Duolingo in mobile phones.

Authors: Díaz C. Luz Amparo , Angel M. Edith , Gaitán D. Hernando
Published: May 2020

Ante la elevada tasa de infección puerperal (2.5 a 6.9%) evidenciada en el Instituto Materno Infantil (IMI), en los años 1996 a 1997 y dentro del programa de mejoramiento de calidad para disminuir la tasa de infección materna y perinatal del Instituto, realizamos un estudio analítico, retrospectivo de cohortes de pacientes expuestas a revisión uterina comparándolas con aquellas a las cuales no se les realizó. Se incluyeron todas las pacientes que tuvieron parto vaginal en el IMI, durante el periodo comprendido entre el 1 de septiembre de 1996 y el 28 de febrero de 1997, excepto aquellas con diagnóstico de corioamnionitis. El antecedente de revisión uterina estuvo presente en el 38.6% de las pacientes que presentaron infección uterina puerperal y en el 27.9% de las pacientes que no presentaron esta complicación (RR: 1.62 IC 95% 1.23 - 2.16). Teniendo en cuenta que las pacientes con ruptura prematura de membranas de mas de 12 horas y las pacientes con parto pretérmino podrían tener una deciduoendometritis subclínica, se hizo un segundo análisis encontramos que el riesgo relativo de desarrollar infección uterina puerperal teniendo como factor de riesgo la revisión uterina fué de 1,83 (IC 95% 1,37 - 2,44). Esta evaluación inicial determinó que hay una asociación entre la revisión manual de la cavidad uterina y la infección uterina puerperal; por lo cual justificamos la realización de un estudio prospectivo, controlando los factores de confusión que podrían influir en los resultados.

Aim: The efficacy of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for stroke prevention in asymptomatic and symptomatic patients is well known. We aimed to share long term follow up results for primary closure technique for CEA without shunting and investigated risk factors for complications in this patient group.

Material and Methods: Between September 2013-2019, 122 patients with isolated CEA with primary closure were enrolled in this retrospective study. Dopppler ultrasound (DUSG) scanning was used as the primary imaging tool for the determination of residual and recurrent stenosis. During the follow-up period duplex ultrasonography was performed in the second month, sixth month and annually thereafter. Ipsilateral cerebrovascular events and mortalities were recorded during follow up period.

Results: The mean age was 69,1 ± 7,1 (48-90) years. The median follow-up time was 47 (5 to 78) months. Hospital mortality was reported in 1 patient (0,8%). Early postoperative cerebrovascular accident were seen as ipsilateral disabling stroke in 1 patient (0,8%), ipsilateral non-disabling stroke in 1 patient (0,8%), reversible ischemic neurological deficit (RIND) in 1 patient (0,8%) and massive intracranial bleeding in 1 patient (0,8%). Late mortality was reported in 4 (3,3%) patients. 2 (1,6%) were cardiac reasons and 2 (1,6%) were non cardiac reasons. During the follow-up period ipsilateral cerebrovascular accident (CVA) were seen in 3 patients (2,5%) and these were; ipsilateral disabling stroke in 1 patient (0,8%), ipsilateral non-disabling stroke in 1 patient (0,8%), RIND in 1 patient (0,8%).According to the latest duplex scanning during follow up period 4 (3,3%) patients had below 50% restenosis, 2 (1,7%) patients had above 70% restenosis and 1 (0,8%) patient had total occlusion.

Conclusion: Primary closure technique for CEA can be used in selected patients with acceptable early and late complication rates, low mortality and low restenosis rate.
Body Condition Scoring in Dairy Cows - A Conceptual and Systematic Review
Authors: Paul Abhishek , Mondal Santu , Kumar Suresh , Kumari Tripti
Published: May 2020

As herd sizes have increased in the last decades due to commercialization of dairy sector, computer monitoring solutions, which provide fast and accurate evaluation of body condition score, gain more and more importance. The main reasons that discourage the use of traditional BCS estimation techniques are the lack of computerized reports, its subjectivity in the judgment, observational variations and time consuming on farm training of technicians. Moreover, measurement on a cow must be collected every 30 days interval throughout the lactation period to have valuable information for use in selection indices. However, an automated BCS largely diminishes the need for labor, time and training, be less stressful for the animals, increase accuracy and could provide large volumes of data for use in genetic evaluation. The sonography is also good technique to detect depletion of body fat reserve by measuring back fat thickness (BFT) in conjunction with BCS in dairy cattle. In India, BCS monitoring technique is not well adopted due to lack of farm mechanization, awareness and an extra labor charges, can create a burden on farm finances.

Breast engorgement is а common issue affecting breastfeeding initiation and length. There are minimal options for relieving the pain associated with breast engorgement. Therefore, further study of strategies to achieve successful pain relief is crucial to promoting progress in breastfeeding. This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of compressed cold cabbage leaves versus hot compresses among postnatal mothers in relieving breast engorgement. Αn interventional quasi-experimental study design used to conduct this study. The study was carried out in the postnatal wards of Ismailia & port-Said general hospitals, and Suez Canal University Hospital. Α convenient sample study was 60 breast-engorgement postnatal mothers. Tools of data collection were; an interviewing questionnaire sheet included socio-demographic and obstetrical data, Visual Analogue Scale, and Six-point engorgement scale. The results showed that before the intervention, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups linked to breast engorgement symptoms & body temperature. But body temperature, scores of breast engorgement and pain were statistically significant differentiated between the two groups’ pre and post-intervention. Significant improvement in the breast engorgement and pain scales after the intervention was found, (p < 0.001). In conclusion, this study revealed that hot compresses and cabbage leaves compresses, as well, for relieving breast engorgement; are time-efficient and easy to perform. However, hot compresses are better than compresses of raw cabbage leaves to minimize discomfort among postnatal mothers and to alleviate breast engorgement. Additional randomized controlled trials with potential placebo treatment should be performed to elucidate the unspecific effects of the application of hot compress and cold Cabbage leaves.
Aportaciones para la definición de una metodología para la investigación cualitativa en el urbanismo = Contributions for the definition of a methodology for qualitative research in urban planning

Este artículo se propone como una herramienta útil para formular y planificar una investigación de tipo cualitativo en el ámbito de la investigación urbanística. No se trata de un catálogo completo y exhaustivo de métodos y herramientas sino más bien de un posible modo de aproximarse a una forma de investigar que no es propia de la disciplina de la arquitectura y del urbanismo y que ha requerido una inmersión por parte de la autora en otros campos disciplinares, y sobre todo en la sociología.Tres son las partes en la que se estructura este trabajo: la primera parte está dedicada a justificar la necesidad de integrar metodologías cualitativas en el ámbito del urbanismo; en la segunda parte se presentan de manera general los diferentes enfoques procedentes de las ciencias sociales y se identifican las técnicas y métodos principales para desarrollar una investigación cualitativa desde nuestro ámbito disciplinar; por último, en la tercera parte se expone una experiencia concreta en la cual fue necesario recurrir a este tipo de metodología investigativa para poder entender ciertas dinámicas generadas en el Proyecto de Investigación-Acción Participativa “Barrios en Transición” llevado a cabo en un barrio de Sevilla.Abstract:This article is proposed as an useful tool to formulate and plan a qualitative research on the urban research sphere. It is not meant to be a complete and exhaustive catalog of methods and tools, but a possible approach to a way of researching which is not characteristic in architecture and urban planning and that has required the author to go deep into other disciplinary fields, mainly into sociology.The work is structured in three different parts: the first one is focused on justifying the need of integrating qualitative methodologies in the urban planning sphere; in the second part the author presents in a general way the diferent approaches that come from social sciences, and identifies the main techniques and methods to develop a qualitative research from her disciplinary sphere; lastly, the third part shows a specific experience in which it was necessary to resort to this kind of research methodology in order to be able to understand certain dynamics generated during the Participatory Action Research project “Barrios en Transición” that took place in a district of Seville.

Authors: De Santiago Rodríguez Eduardo , González García Isabel
Published: May 2020

Este texto analiza las figuras vigentes de planeamiento urbanístico a nivel municipal en España, a partir de la información disponible en el Sistema de Información Urbana del Ministerio de Fomento (2018), complementada con la explotación de los Inventarios de Planeamiento de 1976 y 1992, hasta ahora inéditos. Se parte de un repaso de la legislación a nivel estatal y autonómico en la que se revisan las figuras de planeamiento que se contemplan en cada caso y sus principales contenidos. Después se analiza la evolución del planeamiento municipal de la etapa democrática, examinando 3 momentos históricos, coincidentes con la aprobación de las leyes de suelo de 1976 y 1992 y el presente, en que se cumplen 20 años desde la ley de 1998 y 10 desde la de 2008. La situación actual se estudia tanto a nivel agregado nacional como desglosada por tipologías municipales, Comunidades Autónomas y provincias, con especial atención a los municipios sin planeamiento. Se concluye haciendo una reflexión sobre los principales problemas derivados de la ausencia de planeamiento urbanístico en los pequeños municipios rurales.Abstract:This paper analyzes the existing urban planning instruments at the municipal level in Spain, based on the information available in the SIU (Urban Information System) of the Ministry of Public Works. The paper starts with a brief review of the legislation in force at national and regional levels, examining the planning instruments contemplated in each case and their main contents. The evolution of Spanish municipal planning during the democratic stage is also presented, examining 3 historical moments, coinciding with the approval of the Land Acts of 1976 and 1992 and the present 2018, 20 years since the 1998 law and 10 since the 2008 law. The current situation is studied both aggregated at national level and disaggregated by municipal typologies, Autonomous Communities, and provinces, paying special attention to municipalities without any sort of planning instrument. The conclusions reflect on the main problems arising from the absence of planning in small rural municipalities.

The objective of this study was to describe the overall pattern of morbidity and mortality of children seen at the Thai Binh Pediatric Hospital in Vietnam, with a focus on infectious diseases. A retrospective review of hospitalisation records was conducted from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2019. Data were obtained from a total of 113,999 records. The median age of patients was 18 months, with 83.98% of patients aged <5 years. Infectious diseases accounted for 61.0% of all cases. The most prevalent diseases were lower respiratory tract infections (32.8%), followed by gastrointestinal infections (13.3%) and confirmed influenza (5.4%). Most infections were not microbiologically documented. A total of 81.4% patients received at least one antibiotic. Most patients (97.0%) were hospitalised for less than 15 days. Regarding outcomes, 87.8% patients were discharged home with a favourable outcome. 12.0% were transferred to the Vietnam National Children’s Hospital because their condition had worsened and 0.1% died. In total, infectious diseases accounted for 40.4% of deaths, followed by neonatal disorders (34.6%). Our data serves a basis for the identification of needs for diagnostic tools and for future evaluation of the effect of the targeted implementation of such facilities. Point-of-care tests, including real-time PCR assays to identify common pathogens should be implemented for more accurate diagnosis and more appropriate antibiotic use.
