News repertoires, civic engagement and political participation among young adults in Israel
Authors: Dinnar Sagit , Nossek Hillel
Published: November 2019

This study investigates the cross-media repertoires of news consumption of young adults in today’s fragmented multi-media environment, and examines the interactions between those repertoires and the consumers’ civic engagement and political participation. By using a Q-sort method, the respondents were asked to sort a number of elicitation cards on a relational scalar grid, which allowed for subsequent statistical factor analysis of these qualitative data and the generation of a sub-typology of media consumption repertoires as well as the discursive practices of the respondents. We also used a questionnaire which included questions about news consumption, political participation, and civic engagement. The findings revealed that most young adults used repertoires of digital and new media news consumption. The interviewees were highly conscious of their choices of news sources, and some young adults explicitly stated that they preferred to consume news from sources which reflected their own political views. In this study we were able to map news media repertoires of young adults in Israel and found that young adults do participate, and are largely involved, in activism and protests.
Reconsidering churnalism: How news factors in corporate press releases influence how journalists treat these press releases after initial selection
Authors: Schafraad Pytrik , Zoonen Ward Van
Published: November 2019

This study examines how news factors in press releases influence journalists’ decisions and the journalistic treatment of press release information after its initial selection for the news agenda: These journalists can transform press releases into a news story, which involves little journalistic capital investment, or use these releases for a unique news production, which requires significant journalistic capital investment. The data elicited from the content analysis show that the more profound the presence of certain news factors in press releases, the higher the chance that journalists will choose to invest their journalistic capital in these press releases. This result means that journalists will only invest journalistic capital in press releases that contain specific news factors.
Sprach- und ethnische Konflikte in Klöstern nördlich und südlich der Alpen zum Ausgang des Mittelalters und in der frühen Neuzeit
Authors: Rehberg Andreas , Signori Gabriela
Published: November 2019

Riassunto

Questa introduzione spiega le motivazioni e lo sfondo della selezione di tre saggi dedicati al tema „Conflitti di lingua ed etnia nei monasteri a nord e a sud delle Alpi tra il tardo medioevo e l’età moderna“, collegati a un panel presentato all’Historikertag di Münster nel 2018. La storiografia ha da tempo tenuto conto della mobilità monastica e di problemi specifici nella coesistenza di membri di monasteri e conventi spesso composti da esponenti di più di una „natio“. Meno attenzione viene data alla spiegazione delle ragioni – talvolta piuttosto complesse – e alle varie strategie per risolvere questi conflitti, che tuttavia hanno spesso portato a soluzioni molto drastiche per la parte più debole.
Ein Sprachenkonflikt unter den Franziskanern?
Authors: Hlaváček Petr
Published: November 2019

Riassunto

Lo studio sottolinea che fin dalla sua fondazione, nel 1452, da parte del predicatore italiano Giovanni di Capestrano, il vicariato francescano dell’Osservatorio „Boemia“ – il quale abbracciava tutte le terre della corona boema, l’Austria, la Stiria e in seguito la Polonia – era caratterizzato da una grande diversità etnica e linguistica. In particolare, l’autore esamina le dispute tra italiani e tedeschi nel capitolo provinciale di Brno (1456), il conflitto polacco-tedesco (1460–1467) e le polemiche tra cechi e tedeschi che raggiunsero l’apice nel 1490, durante il capitolo generale francescano svoltosi in quell’anno a Urbino.
Saeculum obscurum – der epigraphische Befund (ca. 890–1000)
Authors: Zöller Wolf
Published: November 2019

Riassunto

Questo saggio offre gli esiti di un’indagine condotta sulla produzione epigrafica della Roma altomedioevale, ponendo in particolare l’accento sugli aspetti topologici e materiali delle iscrizioni commissionate da parte dei vescovi romani e degli esponenti della nobiltà cittadina durante il X secolo. Nonostante esistano ponderosi corpora che raccolgono le iscrizioni romane, manca purtroppo a tutt’oggi una rassegna specifica della produzione epigrafica dell’Urbe per il periodo che va dall’anno 890 all’anno 1000, periodo comunemente noto come saeculum obscurum. Proprio le testimonianze epigrafiche, invece, consentono di giungere a una comprensione più profonda del linguaggio materiale e dei meccanismi di comunicazione utilizzati per la rappresentazione del potere all’interno della struttura urbana della città di Roma. Due casi di studio, riguardanti, da un lato, gli epitaffi papali conservati nella basilica di S. Pietro e, dall’altro, le iscrizioni commemorative nella basilica di S. Giovanni in Laterano dimostrano come le epigrafi siano state opportunamente ed efficacemente integrate all’interno del contesto architettonico e liturgico. Un’organizzazione più attenta dello spazio epigrafico permise infatti una interazione per così dire intensificata tra le iscrizioni e il loro contesto tanto materiale che sociale, in particolare nel momento della controversia che coinvolse papa Formoso e della ricostruzione, così carica di valori anche simbolici, della cattedrale di Roma, quando i papi rivali si misero in competizione per il controllo dello spazio urbano. Seguendo un comportamento analogo, gli esponenti dell’aristocrazia cittadina utilizzarono lastre marmoree dalle dimensioni considerevoli al fine di esibire e consolidare in forme monumentali la loro posizione politica dominante. Soprattutto i famosi Teofilatti occuparono, per così dire, le basiliche patriarcali di S. Lorenzo fuori le mura e S. Maria Maggiore per custodirvi la memoria famigliare, mentre le iscrizioni commemorative delle loro imprese edilizie attestavano il loro sforzo di ridefinire il paesaggio urbano di Roma.

Auf der Basis von gedruckten und ungedruckten Quellen versucht der vorliegende Beitrag, die Rolle des Universitätskollegs der Peruginer Sapienza Vecchia im 15. Jahrhundert zu rekonstruieren; ein besonderes Augenmerk richtet er dabei auf die deutschen Gruppierungen und auf die 70er und 80er Jahre, die mit der Einführung des Buchdruckes eine Wende im kulturellen Leben der Stadt markierten. Die 1362 von Kardinal Niccolò Capocci gegründete Domus Sapientiae stellte für die ausländischen und insbesondere deutschen Studenten, die Perugia als bevorzugtes Ziel wählten, eine unverzichtbare Anlaufadresse dar. Das Kolleg behielt eine gewisse Zahl an Plätzen ausländischen Studenten vor; dieser Umstand führte möglicherweise dazu, dass viele von ihnen im Rahmen ihrer italienischen peregrinatio eine Studienetappe in Perugia einplanten. Ein reicher Quellenbestand im Staatsarchiv von Perugia öffnet überdies neue Perspektiven auf die familia des Kollegs, die die Grenzen der zwangsläufig eng begrenzten und – sozusagen – elitären akademischen Welt übersteigt. Die Annahme, dass die Studenten von persönlichen Dienern begleitet wurden, die dann in den Hausdienst des Kollegs übertraten, wirft neues Licht auf eine Erfahrung, die vielleicht gar nicht so isoliert war, wie gemeinhin angenommen wird. Ferner war das Kolleg ein Produktionszentrum von Handschriften, wie die Reihe aufeinanderfolgender Kopisten nahelegt, und spielte eine wichtige Rolle bei der Einführung des Buchdruckes in die Stadt. Wie die nähere Beschäftigung mit einigen Studenten-/Kopisten-/Druckerbiografien zeigt, lässt sich sogar die These wagen, dass das Kolleg der Sapienza Vecchia den Knotenpunkt für den Übergang von der alten Schreibkunst zu den modernen Methoden der Drucktechnik bildete.
Das Generalkommissariat in Italien von 1624 bis 1632
Authors: Runschke Florian
Published: November 2019

Riassunto

Nella storia moderna il Regno d’Italia fu, dopo la morte di Carlo V, una seria fonte di preoccupazione per gli imperatori tedeschi. Mentre la Spagna con i suoi possedimenti (Napoli, Sicilia e Milano) svolgeva un ruolo predominante sulla penisola, e Stati come Genova, Toscana e Savoia estendevano la loro area di dominio, l’Impero non disponeva di una base attraverso cui esercitare la sua influenza sulla politica italiana. Vi erano tuttavia, in Italia, tra i 250 e 300 vassalli imperiali minori residenti, in gran parte, in Lunigiana, nelle Langhe e nella pianura padana. Essi si mostravano fedeli alla causa imperiale, ma temevano quasi sempre di essere conquistati dagli Stati più grandi. Per ovviare a questo rischio, Ferdinando II nominò, nel 1624, Ferrante II Gonzaga a commissario generale in Italia. I suoi compiti consistevano, tra gli altri, nel rafforzare l’autorità dell’imperatore, nell’esigere i contributi economici dai vassalli e nell’informare Vienna su quanto avveniva nel territorio imperiale. In pratica, però, la riscossione dei tributi fallì completamente, mentre l’autorità imperiale fu rafforzata solo in parte. I rapporti per Vienna, invece, venivano stilati con un ritmo soddisfacente, sebbene fosse in realtà il subdelegato di Ferrante, lʼauditore Octavio Villani, a svolgere la maggior parte dei sondaggi tra i vasalli. Anche se i vassalli imperiali minori approvarono questo nuovo ufficio, non si comprende bene fino a che punto Ferrante Gonzaga abbia potuto aiutarli nella loro lotta contro gli Stati italiani maggiori. Dopo la morte del secondo commissario, Cesare II Guastalla, figlio di Ferrante, avvenuta nel 1632, il Consiglio Aulico di Vienna sconsigliò all’imperatore di riassegnare quell’incarico. Ciò non di meno Ferdinando II nominò Giovanni Andrea Doria Landi a capo del Commissariato generale.
Il memoriale di Aldo Moro
Authors: Twardzik Stefano
Published: November 2019

Die unter dem Namen „Memoriale di Aldo Moro“ bekannten Schriftstücke sind im Original nicht überliefert; es handelt sich dabei um Aufzeichnungen, Reflexionen und Verhöraussagen, die der Politiker während seiner fast zweimonatigen Entführung durch die Roten Brigaden im Frühjahr 1978 schriftlich niedergelegt bzw. gemacht hatte. Nach seinem gewaltsamen Tod drang die von General Dalla Chiesa geleitete Spezialeinheit im Oktober 1978 in die konspirative Wohnung ein, die sich in der Via Monte Nevoso in Mailand befand, und stieß dort auf eine partielle schreibmaschinenschriftliche Transkription dieses Materials sowie auf Fotokopien von weiteren handschriftlichen Texten, Briefen und Testamenten; zwölf Jahre später kamen in derselben Wohnung noch einmal 420 Briefe und Blätter mit Erinnerungsaufzeichnungen zum Vorschein. Der vorliegende Aufsatz erörtert weniger die Inhalte, sondern vor allem die redaktionelle Anordnung dieser Dokumente, die sich in einen thematischen und einen nichtthematischen Teil untergliedern, aber keine durchgängige Nummerierung aufweisen; vor allem aber versucht er auf die Frage zu antworten, ob die Gesamtanlage der Fotokopien, wie sie 1990 vorgefunden wurde, auf einen verborgenen Eingriff der staatlichen Sicherheitsapparate seit Herbst 1978 beruht, wie Miguel Gotor in seinem Buch „Il memoriale della Repubblica“ annimmt. Gegenüber dieser nicht überzeugenden These gehen die vorliegenden Ausführungen davon aus, dass die von den Roten Brigaden vorgenommene Strukturierung des Materials maßgeblich ist, auch wenn spätere begrenzte Eingriffe und Unterschlagungen nicht ausgeschlossen werden können: grundlegend bleibt die Unterscheidung zwischen den Texten, deren schreibmaschinenschriftliche Transkription (natürlich vor dem 1. Oktober 1978) durchgeführt worden war, und denjenigen, deren Bearbeitung aus inhaltlichen, zeitlichen oder beiden Gründen unterblieb.
Fault Location in the Transmission Network Based on Extraction of Fault Components Using Wavelet Transform
Authors: Dashtdar Majid , Dashtdar Masoud
Published: November 2019

In this paper, a Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) has been utilized for processing the current signal in order to fault-location evaluation in network transmission using pre-fault and post-fault current data of both the terminals of a transmission line. In fact, the basis of the work is based on the information recorded before the fault at the end of the line and after the fault at the beginning of the line received by the relay. Obviously, high-frequency components are created at the time of the fault, which is a way of extracting these components using a wavelet transform. In this design, characteristics extorted from synchronous recording of three-phase current signals at the two terminals using DWT. In the following, can accurately estimate the exact location of the fault in the transmission network by extraction and subtracting of the minimum and maximum components of the DWT approximate and detail components of the signal before and after the fault (pre-fault and post-fault). The simulation results reveal that the minimum and maximum extracted components are highly dependent on the fault resistance. Hence, due to increase the fault resistance, the level of signal decomposition has to be increased so that the algorithm is not compromised. Eventually, the proposed method is tested on the transmission network of 735 kV at different distances of the transmission line, which indicates that the proposed algorithm can accurately estimate the fault distance, depending on the type of fault (including low-impedance and high-impedance fault) by changing the signal decomposition level.
Voltage Control in Distribution Networks in Presence of Distributed Generators Based on Local and Coordinated Control Structures
Authors: Dashtdar Majid , Dashtdar Masoud
Published: November 2019

Nowadays, many factors lead to selection and utilization of distributed generations (DG) in distributed networks. But more penetration of DG's in network faced with problem due to existence of passive and inactive distribution networks. One of these essential issues is voltage rise due to injection of active power generated by DG's. That in this paper, control strategies for controlling of voltage profile of distribution network and adjustment of increase of DG's penetration is assessed and an optimal strategy for voltage rise with mathematical formulation is presented that will include both local and coordinated control approaches of reactive power generation. Finally, in this paper an implementation plan with smart control tools of DG's is suggested.
How do volatility regimes affect the pricing of quality and liquidity in the stock market?
Authors: Bazgour Tarik , Heuchenne Cedric , Hübner Georges , Sougné Danielle
Published: November 2019

This paper shows how stock market volatility regimes affect the cross-section of stock returns along quality and liquidity dimensions. We find that, during crisis periods, low quality and low liquidity stocks experience relatively higher losses than predicted in normal times, while high quality and high liquidity stocks experience rather relatively lower losses. These findings lend strong support to the presence of cross-market and within-market flight-to-quality and to-liquidity episodes during crisis periods. During low volatility periods, however, low quality and low liquidity stocks earn relatively larger returns, while high quality and high liquidity stocks yield lower returns; suggesting that low volatility conditions benefit junk and illiquid stocks but not quality and liquid stocks. Finally, our results reveal that liquidity level dominates liquidity beta in explaining stock returns across the different market volatility regimes.

Galen's Wounds: Dissolutions and the Theoretical Structure of Galen's Disease Taxonomy
Authors: Salas Luis Alejandro
Published: November 2019

Galen conceives of wounds, fractures, and similar conditions as belonging to one of the highest genera in his taxonomy of disease. This classification is puzzling, as much from an ancient Greco-Roman perspective as from a contemporary one. In what sense are wounds and other injuries diseases? The classification appears more perplexing in light of Galen's method of conceptual analysis, which takes ordinary language use as a starting point. What, then, motivated Galen's departure from common Greek conceptions of disease? This article examines the class of disease that Galen called “dissolutions of continuity” in the broader context of his system of nosological definition and classification. It concludes that Galen's analysis of wounds is driven by his theory of causation, and by his localization of disease and its mechanism inside the body, a conceptualization typical of Greco-Roman medical writing. This conclusion sheds further light on Galen's method of disease classification and the role of dissolutions within it.
Dancing for Free: Pindar's Kastor Song for Hieron
Authors: Wilson Peter
Published: November 2019

This article studies a neglected melic poem by Pindar, a hyporcheme for Hieron of Syracuse. It places the work in the context of vigorous poetic production associated with Hieron's foundation of the city of Aitna in 476/5 and assembles the relevant fragments, arguing for the inclusion of frr. 105ab, 106, 114 S-M, and for the relevance of sch. Aelius Aristeides Panathenaikos 187, 2 Dindorf. It analyzes and accepts as likely the evidence of the Pindaric sch. vet. Pythian 2.127 Drachmann that this hyporcheme was referred to by Pindar as a Kastoreion or “Kastor song,” and weighs the significance of the further claim that the poet gifted it to Hieron as a “free extra.” A survey of the hyporcheme as a melic form permits some conclusions as to the likely performative qualities of the work. A close reading of the surviving fragments follows, with an emphasis on how they advanced key motifs of Hieron's propaganda: notably, the image of himself as king and founder, and as a promoter of Dorian culture; and his efforts to assume a kind of Spartan mantle. It is also argues that the poem associates Sicily with the invention of the chariot in an effort to counterbalance the greater hippic successes already achieved by Hieron's brothers Gelon and Polyzalos, as well as the Emmenids.
The Driver of Extreme Human-Specific Olduvai Repeat Expansion Remains Highly Active in the Human Genome

Olduvai (formerly DUF1220) protein domains have undergone the largest human-specific increase in copy number of any coding region in the genome (∼300 copies of which 165 are human-specific) and have been implicated in human brain evolution...

Sequences encoding Olduvai protein domains (formerly DUF1220) show the greatest human lineage-specific increase in copy number of any coding region in the genome and have been associated, in a dosage-dependent manner, with brain size, cognitive aptitude, autism, and schizophrenia. Tandem intragenic duplications of a three-domain block, termed the Olduvai triplet, in four NBPF genes in the chromosomal 1q21.1-0.2 region, are primarily responsible for the striking human-specific copy number increase. Interestingly, most of the Olduvai triplets are adjacent to, and transcriptionally coregulated with, three human-specific NOTCH2NL genes that have been shown to promote cortical neurogenesis. Until now, the underlying genomic events that drove the Olduvai hyperamplification in humans have remained unexplained. Here, we show that the presence or absence of an alternative first exon of the Olduvai triplet perfectly discriminates between amplified (58/58) and unamplified (0/12) triplets. We provide sequence and breakpoint analyses that suggest the alternative exon was produced by an nonallelic homologous recombination-based mechanism involving the duplicative transposition of an existing Olduvai exon found in the CON3 domain, which typically occurs at the C-terminal end of NBPF genes. We also provide suggestive in vitro evidence that the alternative exon may promote instability through a putative G-quadraplex (pG4)-based mechanism. Lastly, we use single-molecule optical mapping to characterize the intragenic structural variation observed in NBPF genes in 154 unrelated individuals and 52 related individuals from 16 families and show that the presence of pG4-containing Olduvai triplets is strongly correlated with high levels of Olduvai copy number variation. These results suggest that the same driver of genomic instability that allowed the evolutionarily recent, rapid, and extreme human-specific Olduvai expansion remains highly active in the human genome.
АНГЛІЙСЬКИЙ ЗАЙМЕННИК: РОЛЬ ТА ЗМІНИ У СУЧАСНІЙ МОВІ
Authors: Lobanova V. V.
Published: November 2019

Стаття написана в руслі актуальних досліджень, оскільки проблема ролі та перекладу займенника зумовлена поширеністю цієї частини мови, її складними взаємовідносинами з актуальним референтом. Визначення оптимальних засобів перекладу займенників є певним внеском до загальної теорії перекладу. Існує декілька значних проблем, пов'язаних з теорією та типологією займенників і найбільш актуальних в контексті сучасної лінгвістики. До цих проблем належать: універсальні категорії особових займенників, функційні типи вживання займенників тощо. Значну увагу приділено ролі займенників у роботах А. Вежбицької, Е. Лассан, Л. М. Синельникової, М. Шефера та інших авторів. Незважаючи на наявність значної кількості праць, присвячених займенникам, їх роль у сучасній мові ще не є вичерпно висвітленою. Тому метою, яку ми ставимо у цій статті, є проаналізувати функції особових займенників у сучасній англійській мові. За нашими спостереженнями, окрім традиційних функцій, притаманних займеннику як частині мови, треба звернути увагу на тема-рематичну функцію займенника, стилістично-видільну та функцію психологічну. В сучасній розмовній англійській мові відбуваються певні зсуви в співвідношенні називного і об'єктного відмінків особових займенників, особливо займенника «I». Сфера використовування об'єктного відмінку розширяється за рахунок звуження сфери вживання називного відмінку. Ці особливості співвідношення відмінкових форм зумовлюють появу та розвиток таких функцій займенника, як стилістично-видільна та психологічна. Перспективи подальшого дослідження ми бачимо в аналізі форм питальних займенників.
BODY IMAGES IN THE POETRY BY ANNE SEXTON, SYLVIA PLATH, ADRIENNE RICH
Authors: Honsalies-Munis Svitlana
Published: November 2019

The research is an attempt to analyze female body images in the poetry by Anne Sexton, Sylvia Plath and Adrienne Rich. Special attention is paid to the concept of women’s writing, modern theories of corporeality, sexuality and the problems of the body and the language, which have been considered as major features of women’s poetry in the second half of the 20th century. The theoretical background of the article is based on the works of Hélène Cixous, Luce Irigaray, Julia Kristeva, Jane Gallop, Alicia Ostriker, Christina Britzolakis, Jacqueline Rose, in which they defined the concepts of women's writing and language, women's subject, bodiness and corporality. The article analyzes a number of related issues: firstly, it determines how well-known theories of women's writing are consistent with the peculiarities of the female experience and its realization in a poetic text, especially on the level of the themes and motifs; secondly, it studies how the female body images are expressed in the poetry by Anne Sexton, Sylvia Plath and Adrienne Rich, what are the similarities between their corporeal imagery and what are the differences. The article analyses modern feminist works as well as gender studies.
UNRELIABLE NARRATOR AND DOUBT IN THE TURN OF THE SCREW BY HENRY JAMES
Authors: Kyrpyta Tamara
Published: November 2019

In this article we explore the narrative features of The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. This work is considered to be one of the most controversial in relation to the author's design and description of the characters. Until recently, the controversy was focused only on whether the events in the narrative are really mystical (within the reality of the text), or the ghosts described by the heroine are the product of her imagination. In recent years there has been a tendency to consider this work in the light of narratology and structuralism. We consider this approach to be appropriate, because for Henry James as a writer and a literary critic the form and content of the text were inextricably linked, and in his later writings he sometimes favored a form over content. The Turn of the Screw is known primarily for its ambiguity. Written in the genre of "scary tales," it not only reveals the events in Bly, but, which is typical of late James, draws a psychological portrait of the main character. The narrative features of The Turn of the Screw create the effect of an "unreliable narrator", and this has caused controversy in the literary environment as to whether the ghosts that the governess speaks about are real or generated by her sick imagination; whether Flora and Miles are innocent children or they have already been spoiled by the vicious servants, whose influence the governess is trying to protect them from. We are inclined to believe that the ambiguity of the novella was the author's intention. Considering the focusing of the work, we arrive at the conclusion that the work is double-layered. On the surface, there is a scary ghost story, and beneath there is an allegory of oppression of forced respectability from which the protagonist is afflicted with.

El artículo analiza el modelo de Bird y Hulstrom con el propósito de conocer los criterios que se deben tener en cuenta en su formulación y  observar el grado de precisión de éste en lo que respecta a la predicción del recurso solar. Con este fin, se sometieron los datos estimados con este modelo a un análisis de regresión contra datos obtenidos de mediciones directas realizadas a través de piranómetros en tres estaciones, una ubicada en la ciudad de Barranquilla y las otras dos ubicadas en municipios pertenecientes a su área metropolitana (Puerto Colombia y Soledad). Por otra parte, se comparó su coeficiente de correlación con el del modelo de Angström-Prescott utilizado por el Instituto de Hidrología, Meteorología y Estudios Ambientales (IDEAM), con el propósito de tener un estándar que permitiera tener conclusiones con respecto al grado de precisión y ajuste del modelo. Se encontró que el modelo de Bird y Hulstrom no representa una mejora significativa en el ajuste de los datos en comparación con el modelo utilizado por el IDEAM (Angström-Prescott). También se concluyó que el recurso solar en la ciudad de Barranquilla es uno de los mejores del país, con un promedio de incidencia que se mueve ente 5,25kWh/m2 y 6,8kWh/m2 a lo largo del año.

Located in between the Flores and Adonara islands, Larantuka Strait has one of the strongest tidal currents in Indonesia. A bridge 810 m long is planned to be constructed across the strait to connect the islands. The Palmerah Tidal Bridge project, commenced in 2019, is planned to be the first combined tidal energy/bridge project worldwide. By combining the installation of turbines with bridge construction, the project is intended to achieve certain economies. However, the financial viability would depend on the power production at this site. This study is an independent assessment regarding the tidal energy resources, estimating the average power available at possible array locations in the area of the Palmerah Tidal Bridge. This paper examines alternative locations for turbine deployment along the strait as well. Moreover, it also discusses the flow-field change and its effects on the Indonesian throughflow in the region. This paper discovers that the average available power from this site is lower than the output that has been predicted for this project. However, if the prediction is the maximum (as opposed to average) power available for the subsequent stages, then this study would prove that the numbers are achievable.
Undrained stability of active and passive trapdoors
Authors: Shiau Jim , Hassan Mohammad Mirza
Published: November 2019

The recent growth in the number of sinkhole occurrences due to human activities has highlighted the need for better understanding and prediction of the problem. This paper investigates the use of Broms and Bennermark’s original stability number for trapdoor problems in cohesive soil. The shear-strength-reduction method built in a finite-difference method software program (FLAC) is used to obtain the factor of safety (FOS) under different combinations of pressures for collapse and blowout. Unlike previous research on the use of critical pressure ratios, the FOS results are now functions of the original stability number and depth ratio. The obtained numerical results are compared and validated by using rigorous upper- and lower-bound finite-element limit analysis, as well as other existing solutions available in the literature. Surface failure extents are also examined in the paper. The dimensionless ratios employed in this study are useful for preparing design charts with a broad range of trapdoor geometries and soil parameters.

Published: November 2019

The purpose of this study is to determine the value of corrosion rate influenced by coastal environment and seawater to nickel as a collimator base material for the application of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). In this research, the authors used 99.9% pure nickel as the reference material. Corrosion testing was carried out to determine the rate of corrosion of nickel as a base material for BNCT. After the specimens were formed, the test specimens were then corroded for 12 weeks, with various conditions such as indoor, outdoor environment, static seawater, and moving seawater. The results of this study indicated that in corrosion testing with indoor condition, the corrosion rate values are 0.61-1.00 mpy. For outdoor condition, the corrosion rate is 0.89-1.34 mpy. Meanwhile, at static seawater conditions, the corrosion rate is 0.97-1.24 mpy. Lastly, for moving seawater condition, the corrosion rate is 1.64-1.91 mpy. The results showed that corrosion resistance was relatively the same for all nickel exposed to corrosion in the coastal environment. Therefore, in regards to corrosion resistance, using nickel as a collimator base material for BNCT applications is considered as safe.Keywords: BNCT, Nickel, Corrosion, Coastal Environtment, Sea Water

ABD
ile Çin arasında dünyanın diğer bölgelerinde olduğu gibi Latin Amerika
coğrafyasında da bir güç mücadelesinin varlığı gözlemlenmektedir. Soğuk
Savaş’ın bitişiyle birlikte Latin Amerika coğrafyasında yaşanan bu güç mücadelesinde
artık ABD’nin karşısında SSCB yerini Çin’in yer aldığı görülmektedir. Özellikle
Xi Jinping’in devlet başkanı olmasıyla birlikte Çin’in bölge ülkelerine yönelik
olarak askeri, ekonomik, kültürel ve bunlara bağlı olarak siyasi etkisinin
arttığı ve Çin’in küresel düzlemde eskiye nazaran daha etkin bir dış politika
stratejisini hayata geçirdiği gözlemlenmektedir. Bu durum ABD’yi Latin Amerika
devletlerine yönelik olarak uyguladığı geleneksel arka bahçe politikasını
değiştirmek zorunda bırakmıştır. ABD’nin bu politika değişikliğinde en önemli
hedef ülkelerden biri stratejik konumundan ötürü Küba olmuştur. ABD, Barack
Obama döneminde Küba ile eski düşmanlıkları bir tarafa bırakarak “Amerika
Amerikalılarındır” mottosundan hareketle yeni bir yumuşama siyasetini
uygulamaya sokma kararı almıştır. Nitekim Başkan Obama 2014 senesinde Küba’ya
resim bir ziyarette bulunmuştur. Aynı şekilde Küba’nın da ambargolar nedeniyle
ekonomik açıdan zor dönemler geçirdiği ve bir çıkış yolu aradığı gözlemlenmektedir.
Nitekim yönetimin kontrolünün fiilen kardeş Raul Castro tarafından ele
geçirilmesiyle sistemde bazı yumuşamaların varlığı gözlemlenmektedir. Sonuç
olarak tüm bu yaşanan gelişmeler ışığında bu çalışmada ABD ve Çin’in, eksende
Küba olmak üzere genel olarak Latin Amerika ülkelerine yönelik son dönemdeki siyasetleri
ve hegemonya mücadelesi irdelenmiştir.

Modern GNSS navigation equipment has a significant drawback — low noise immunity. To solve this problem, they are based on phased array antennas using adaptive signal processing algorithms. The final effect of such processing is determined by the level and completeness of using the existing differences, as well as the quality of accounting for each of them, depending on the degree of fame of the statistical characteristics of signals and interference. The article discusses the theory of synthesis of an algorithm for measuring the parameters of radio navigation signals received on spaced antennas under the influence of interference

Background. Cervicalgia from traumatic events such as road traffic accidents and falls can lead to musculoskeletal and soft tissue injuries with the development of pain and headache. Microkinesitherapy is a manual therapy technique that normalizes soft tissue tensions and articular range of motion throughout micropalpation. Objective. This study is a secondary analysis with a clinical significance approach to data collected in a previously published study. These data were obtained during a randomized double-blind clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of microkinesitherapy treatment in cervical trauma. Methods. The authors performed a secondary analysis of a previous randomized, double-blind clinical trial, using the Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID). This study was conducted at the Faculty of medicine of the Université Grenoble Alpes (Grenoble, FRA), and analyzed 29 patients with cervical trauma less than three months of trauma. This is a secondary analysis of data collected in a previously published randomized double-blind clinical trial where the treated group received a microkinesitherapy treatment (n= 15, 8 females) and the other group received a sham treatment (n=14, 7 females). To look at the clinical significance of those results, it was used the MCID of the instantaneous pain and cervical articular mobility, before and after the treatment or sham treatment. The clinical significance of the treatment was obtained through an inter-group comparison (Pearson’s chi-squared test) based on MCID. Results. With both threshold values, the Pearson’s chi-squared test provide a significant difference in the treatment result compared to sham group. Conclusion. The use of the MCID concept and its value is drawn from recent studies on neck pain allowed us to demonstrate, on an intergroup analysis basis, that there is a clinically significant difference in the effect of a microkinesitherapy treatment on post-traumatic neck pain as compared to a sham treatment.
