Principles of evaluation and canonization of dramatic works by Ukrainian publicists of the late XIX — early XX century
Authors: Kozlov Roman , Virchenko Tetiana
Published: November 2019

The subject of the study is the dramatic canon, a problem that is urgent for every nation. As a quite changeable phenomenon the theater is highly sensitive to social demand. So it is very important to understand those principles and bases which could be used for evaluation of dramatic works deserved to be introduced into national canon. The Aim of the Study is to highlight on the material of journalism of the late XIX — early XX century the criteria of the canon of dramatic works, criteria, tested not only by time but also by intelligence. The experience of Ukrainian publicists of the late XIX — early XX centuries in this field is very important. Ukrainians, divided nationally and ethnically, had developed the system of mutual codes, namely the cultural ones. Moreover, mainly they took a pattern from the experience of the made historical nations with established theater history. The study found that the development of such basic codes was conducted in several directions at the same time. This includes development of principles of poetic diction evaluation, and determination of the requirements to the author’s personality, and selection of original works of national literature as classical ones and concluding a genre repertoire of the theaters. Due to specific character of interpretation of educational role of dramatic literature and plays at that time, it is worth discussing the ideological part of the requirements to the of high-quality literary text. Urgent ideological contents was researched (Ivan Franko, Mykola Yevshan, Lesya Ukrainka) as a compulsory factor of a work’s success. However, it has to not stipulate didacticism, but rather serve as illustration material. Serhij Yefremov, when speaking about Ukrainian playwriting of the stated period being a literature historian, emphasized on theatrical effectiveness and contents and formal integrity of a play. The revealed criteria for the formation of a canon constitute novelty of the study and its practical significance, becoming a measure of the evaluation of those works that can be expanded by the Ukrainian dramatic canon. In general, forming a canon is a positive and discussive phenomenon, since it brings to find points of contact and renewal of integrity of separated national literature and culture.
Kemâl Yolculuğu Olarak Dinî Tecrübe: Gazâlî Üzerinden Bir Okuma
Authors: AKGÜL Abdullah
Published: November 2019

Din Felsefesinin temel problemlerinden biri olan dinî tecrübe, bir Tanrı kanıtı olarak literatüre girmiş olsa da, mevcut tartışmalar daha çok onun mahiyeti üzerine yoğunlaşmış gözükmektedir. Söz gelimi, onun bir duygu/his tecrübesi, bir algı tecrübesi olduğu ya da aslında yaşanan herhangi bir tecrübenin dinî bir yorumundan ibaret olduğu, öne sürülen belli başlı yaklaşımlardan birkaçıdır.  Dinî tecrübenin mahiyetini tartışmalı kılan temel sebep, din ve tecrübe gibi geniş anlam alanına sahip iki kavramdan oluşmasıdır. Bireylerin ve geleneklerin, bu iki kavrama yükledikleri anlamlar, dinî tecrübe anlayışlarını belirleyicidir. Dinî tecrübenin bir terim olarak kullanılmaya başlanması Protestanlığın ortaya çıktığı dönemlere denk gelir. Aydınlanmanın akıl vurgusuyla birlikte, ilgili terime yüklenen anlamlar indirgenir ve terim; sebebi açıklanamayan, başkalarına aktarılamayan, epistemik değeri tartışmalı, anlık, sıra dışı yaşanmışlıklar olarak literatürdeki yerini alır. Bu makalenin ön kabulü, dinî tecrübe terimine yüklenen anlamların daraltılmış olduğu ve terimin farklı gelenekler için aynı anlamlarda kullanılmasının hatalı olduğudur. Bu makale, okurun probleme ilişkin mevcut tartışmaları bildiğini varsayar ve mevcut tartışmalara cevap yetiştirmek kaygısıyla reaksiyoner bir tavır sergilemek yerine, daha ziyade aksiyoner ve ön açıcı bir yaklaşımla konuyu ele alır. Bu makale, bir Din Felsefesi problemi olarak dinî tecrübenin literatürdekinden farklı bir okumasını sunacaktır. Bu doğrultuda, öncelikle Gazâlî’nin Tanrı, âlem ve insan anlayışı, dinî tecrübenin ontolojik arka planı olarak ortaya konacak; daha sonra, bu ontolojik temel üzerinden dinî tecrübe kavramına ilişkin bir tanım önerilecektir.

Published: November 2019

Break-Even Analysis is an important step to be considered in the design process of a product. In order to facilitate this cost analysis in the framework of unmanned aerial vehicle design, a numerical algorithm is proposed and implemented on an in-house software. The developed algorithm adopts the cost components of Modified DAPCA IV Cost Model. It aims to calculate the number of units to achieve Break-Even Point and its corresponding unit price, as well as the obtained profit margin. Three example cases are employed in the assessment of the outcomes of the proposed algorithm, whereby reasonable results and good agreements with theoretical trends are concluded.

Authors: Arini Hilya Mudrika
Published: November 2019

This initial study explores the importance of trust in Aceh tsunami evacuation. Drawing upon the cultural theory as theoretical basis, this research classifies people in Aceh based on their trust level and identifies the significant factors influencing them to trust to different sources during tsunami. To accomplish the goals, an offline survey to 62 respondents in Aceh who experienced tsunami was conducted. From this survey, it found that most of respondents tend to be more trust to their self (individualist) and family/neighbor (egalitarian) than trust to government (hierarchy) and religious leader (traditional). On the other hand, (1) self-efficacy, (2) evacuation knowledge and (3) trust level to non-government people are indicated as the significant factors influencing people to trust in different sources during tsunami evacuation. This initial result will be benefit to develop a predictive model of trust using Agent-based model and simulation (ABMS) for the further research.

Assessing the impact of Connect 2 Care on the residential stability of homeless and vulnerably housed clients
Authors: Dewsnap Kyle , Kamran Hasham , Rondeau Kimberly , Polachek Alicia , Fabreau Gabriel , McBrien Kerry
Published: November 2019

Background

Certain kinds of housing instability, such as foreclosure and homelessness, have been associated with poorer physical and mental health. The Connect 2 Care (C2C) program targets medically complex individuals who are unstably housed, primarily aimed at reducing acute care utilization and connecting clients to appropriate community-based care. However, because housing status is a fundamental determinant of health, the team also assists clients in finding permanent housing. As the C2C program aims to improve the health of its clients, we hope that this intervention positively impacts the housing stability of clients.

Objective

To determine whether the C2C program is effective in reducing factors of housing instability, such as the frequency of housing moves made, and time spent in unstable housing (such as shelters or sleeping outside).

Methods

C2C clients were asked to participate in 6- and 12- month follow-up surveys with a member of the research team. During both surveys, participants were prompted to describe their housing history using the Residential Time-Line Follow-Back (rTLFB) inventory. Starting at six months prior to their intake into C2C, participants created a twelve- to eighteen-month timeline that detailed their residential locations and number of housing transitions. Location descriptions provided by clients were categorized as stable, temporary, institutional, or literal homelessness. The number of housing transitions and the proportion of time spent in each housing category were then calculated for each individual. Changes in proportion of time spent over three unique time periods were evaluated using Wilcoxon’s paired rank test with Holm’s multiplicity correction.

Results

Since September 2018, housing data was collected from 100 unique clients. In comparing the six months preceding C2C intake with the six-to-twelve months after C2C intake, significant reductions in the amount of time spent in literal homelessness (p < 0.001) and reductions in the number of housing changes (p = 0.014) were observed.

Discussion

Housing stability for C2C clients improved after enrolment in the program. This study was potentially limited by incomplete sampling of the C2C population. Based on our findings, further research should be conducted in evaluating the relationship between increases in housing stability and increases of health status.

The student’s engagement in curriculum development is necessary and important, as this has direct effect on their academic performance. The positive feedback and criticism given by the students when engaged contributes to the development and changes in the curriculum. Objectives: To explore the perceptions of the under-graduate medical students about their engagement in the curriculum development. Study Design: A qualitative study. Setting: Two private medical colleges in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Period: From 1st January 2018 to 30th June 2018. Material and Methods: Seven open ended questions were developed after literature search and were authenticated by three faculty members. After pilot testing, necessary changes were made in guiding questions. Four Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were conducted with final year students, two from public and two from private medical colleges of Peshawar. The FGDs were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. All transcripts were reviewed after each session and triangulation of data was done. Data was analyzed and themes were identified. Results: A total of 36 participants were included in FGDs. Four themes that emerged were “Increased interest of students in studies” indicating that the curriculum should be planned according to their priorities and co-curricular activities should be encouraged; “educational reforms” indicating that there is a need for improvement in the teaching style of the faculty,; “improved communication” indicating effective communication between the faculty and students; “favorable academic environment” indicating self-confidence of the students and good working relationship between students and faculty for producing conducive environment. Conclusion: The concept of engaging the students in planning the curriculum and extracurricular activities needs to be further structured. Academic workload and time constraints may be reduced when students are engaged in curriculum development.

Vital Capacity is an essential mirror of a person's respiratory health that can be measured through spirometer. Objectives: To analyze the relation of Body Mass Index (BMI) and Tidal Volume (TV) on Vital capacity (VC) in healthy young adults and also to observe any gender differences in this regard. Study Design: An analytical cross sectional research. Setting: Using convenience sampling on First year MBBS students of Shalamar Medical and Dental College, Lahore. Period: From May 2017 to November 2017. Material and Methods: Thirty healthy participants with fifteen males and fifteen females, aged 20-22 years were taken in the study after their consent, all were not involved in any endurance training or body-building activity. All of them were the First year MBBS students of Shalamar Medical and Dental College, Lahore. Weight and height of each student was measured via Adult weighing scaleto calculate BMI. Tidal volume and vital capacity were measured through “Power Lab 2005-07, Model 26T” linked to a spirometer pod. Multivariate regression analysis was done by Microsoft excel. Results: Linear regression analysis depicted insignificant statistical correlation between VC and BMI in both genders (p> 0.05). However, the regression model between VC and TV showed a decrease of 1.14 units in VC with 1 unit increase in TV in male students. Conclusion: BMI and TV both negligibly affect the vital capacity in both genders, however Vital capacity is somewhat reduced in healthy males with rise in TV.

Published: November 2019

Objectives: To determine the possible correlation between raised serum uric acid and various components of metabolic syndrome (Waist circumference, serum triglyceride, plasma HDL-C). Study Design: Descriptive case control. Setting: Army Medical College laboratory, Military Hospital, Rawalpindi. Period: One year (November 2014 to October 2015). Material and Methods: Total of 100 subjects were enrolled in this study. WHO criteria were applied for identifying the patients of metabolic syndrome. Fasting plasma glucose, lipid profile and serum uric acid levels were measured by using colorimetric enzymatic method. The formula of Homeostasis Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) was applied to calculate Insulin resistance. Collected data was analyzed by using SPSS- Window version-17 for statistical analysis. Results: Serum uric acid levels were turned out to be high in metabolic syndrome patients (cases= 6.1±1.3mg/dL) when compared with controls (having no symptoms of MetS=3.6±1.2; p<0.001). Uric acid showed a statistically significant positive association with waist circumference (WC=r-value:0.250; p-value:0.000) and serum triglyceride (TG=r-value:0.341; p-value:0.000). Negative correlation had been found between plasma high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C=r-value: -0.173; p-value:<0.01) with uric acid levels. Conclusion: Serum uric acid levels show a significant association with components of metabolic syndrome making it a powerful biomarker of metabolic syndrome and its various cardiometabolic complications.

Published: November 2019

Castleman disease was initially explained in 1956 as a syndrome that is lymphoproliferative, also recognized as angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia. It is a rare disease and may proceed to malignant lymphoma that is difficult to diagnose while the treatment is complex. Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a malignancy that is related to lymphoid and can be characterized as Reed-Sternberg cells in the lymph nodes. Prognosis as well as treatment is complex and depends upon the Ann Arbor staging as well as age of the affected patient. HL is divided into 2 distinct subtypes, Nodular Lymphocyte Predominant HL (LPHL), and classical HL (cHL). The present case was a 12year old male boy who presented with fever, cough and swelling on the body at multiple sites. Diagnosis of cervical lymph node biopsy was labeled as classical Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, mixed cellularity. Early diagnosis, better understanding of the pathophysiology as well as the biology of HL can assure much better prognosis.

Published: November 2019

Objectives: To determine whether Bayesian Analysis (BA) predicts malignancy with similar specificity and sensitivity values ​​ in both subgroups of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) and to compare PET-CT findings in solid and subsolid subgroups of PET-CT scanned SPNs. Study Design: An observational study. Setting: Department of Chest Diseases, Ankara Chest Diseases and Chest Surgery Training and Research Hospital. Period: February 2013 to February 2016. Materials and Methods: 156 patients with SPNs and whose histopathological diagnosis confirmed by fiberoptic bronchoscopy biopsy, transthoracic tru-cut biopsy or surgical methods were evaluated retrospectively. BA and PET-CT findings of nodules were evaluated. Results: 73.3% of male patients and 80% of females with subsolid SPN were diagnosed malignant. BA was statistically significantly found to be consistent with definitive diagnosis in Kappa compliance analysis in solid and nonsolid nodules (p <0.005 kappa = 0.604; p = 0.023 kappa = 0.358). The sensitivity of BA in solid and subsolid nodules was 63.6% and 80%, respectively, while their specificity was 93.4% and 73%, respectively. Positive predictive values (PPVs) ​​were found to be 84% in solid nodules and 36% in subsolid nodules. Negative predictive values (NPVs) ​​were calculated as 83% in solid nodules and 95% in subsolid nodules. In the patients with SPN included in our study, Kappa compliance analysis was performed separately in the solid and subsolid subgroups of patients who underwent PET-CT. When the cutoff value of Kappa compliance analysis in solid nodules was taken 2.5, definitive diagnosis and suvmax uptake were found to be statistically consistent (p <0.005 kappa = 0.638). When the cutoff value of Kappa compliance analysis in subsolid nodules was taken to be 2.5 as malignancy value, definitive diagnosis and suvmax uptake were found to be statistically consistent as in subgroup (p=0,011 kappa=0,399). When we took PET-CT suvmax cutoff value as 2.5, sensitivity uptake and specificity of PET were found in solid nodules, to be 68.4% and 93.1%, respectively. PPV was 86.7% and NPV was 82%. The sensitivity and specificity values ​​of subsolid subgroup were 70% and 75% respectively, whereas the PPVs and NPVs ​​were 50% and 87.5%, respectively. Conclusion: In subsolid SPNs, as in BA, PET-CT seems to be more reliable when used exclusively in malignancy exclusion. Although a significant suvmax cut-off value was determined for malignancy, the PPV of PET-CT is lower than that of solid SPNs.
Adaptive Noise Cancellation Algorithms Implemented onto FPGA-Based Electrical Impedance Tomography System
Authors: Baidillah Marlin Ramadhan , Gao Zengfeng , Iman Al-Amin S , Takei Masahiro
Published: November 2019

Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) as a non-invasive of electrical conductivity imaging method commonly employs the stationary-coefficient based filters (such as FFT) in order to remove the noise signal. In the practical applications, the stationary-coefficient based filters fail to remove the time-varying random noise which leads to the lack of impedance measurement sensitivity. In this paper, the implementation of adaptive noise cancellation (ANC) algorithms which are Least Mean Square (LMS) and Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS) filters onto Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)-based EIT system is proposed in order to eliminate the time-varying random noise signal. The proposed method was evaluated through experimental studies with biomaterial phantom. The reconstructed EIT images with NLMS is better than the images with LMS by amplitude response AR = 12.5%, position error PE = 200%, resolution RES = 33%, and shape deformation SD = 66%. Moreover, the Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) performances of power spectral density (PSD) and the effective number of bit ENOB with NLMS is higher than the performances with LMS by SI = 5.7 % and ENOB = 15.4 %. The results showed that implementing ANC algorithms onto FPGA-based EIT system shows significantly more accurate image reconstruction as compared without ANC algorithms implementation.

Authors: Maknouni Gilani Saeid
Published: November 2019

The iron ore minerals reservoir of Golgohar Mine#3 is more than 660 million tons. It is the biggest in Iran and rate of ore extraction is more than 15 million tons per year. The pit takes place on the way of runoff pathway of this watershed and it needs an especial strategy for conserving the pit mine during next imminent floods. The area of Mine# 3 watershed is 20785700 square meters and its general slope in its topography map is 0.59 percent; then initial scheming indicates it can causes a great deal of problems for mining operation n the next floods; particularly, the pit is located into degree 4th sub branch of a main ephemeral river. For this purpose, the Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS) method was employed to estimate intervals period of next floods based on the magnitude, the intensity and the duration of precipitation events data. Conceptual design of runoff drainage of the watershed was designed to lead the flood to a better pathway location. The Mine#3 overburden deposition occupies a huge area on the watershed; and it has been considered and redesigned in terms of size, form, dimensions and location to manage as a physical obstacle against next floods. Hydraulic calculations were applied for designing two essential open channels which can preserve the pit.

Authors: Jufri Syofiani , Apriyanti Difiani
Published: November 2019

PGSD UBH (Pendidikan Guru Sekolah Dasar) is one of departments in Teacher Training Faculty under Bung Hatta University. The graduate students will be Elementary School teachers. The department provides curriculum which consists of subjects that needed by  the candidate of Elementary School teachers, but unfortunately none involve English. Even, there is no English subject to be taught to the students. Meanwhile, as a teacher in this globalisation era, they must aware with all new information that grow rapidly from other countries, especially information about education, teaching, and their teaching subjects.  Beside that, they also going to face pupils who are living in an era of advanced technology where information from all the world can be reached easily.  There is no doubt that students of PGSD need to acquire English passively and actively. Therefore, CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) training was conducted. CLIL was taught to 40 students of PGSD who were in semester two. By introducing the characteristics of CLIL, giving the direct model of CLIL, it was hoped the students have understood the base of CLIL. The students observed steps of CLIL that were shown by the model before giving their own performance. After giving a chance for each student to choose a topic that usually being taught to Elementary School  pupils, they prepared themselves to teach the topic using CLIL. The result is the students considered much on their activating, language, and speaking. They focused more on the vocabularies and pronunciation. While the writing part was not dominan since the chosen topics were for low grades of elementary school.

Authors: Волков Александр Ильич , Прохорова Любовь Николаевна
Published: November 2019

Изучена эффективность десикантов при возделывании кукурузы на зерно в агроклиматических условиях Чувашской Республики в 2016 – 2018 гг. Ресурсосберегающая обработка почвы под кукурузу состояла из разноглубинного осеннего дискования, лущения стерни яровой пшеницы и весенней предпосевной культивации. Обработка вегетирующих посевов кукурузы гербицидами Реглон супер, Раундап экстра, Зеро супер и Торнадо за 2 недели до планируемого сбора урожая позволяет довести зерно до оптимальных технологических параметров, снизив его исходную влажность с 39,0 – 40,0 до 31,9 – 34,4 %. Максимальное (5,6 %) снижение влажности кукурузного зерна к моменту уборки выявлено в варианте с использованием десиканта Зеро супер, а минимальное (3,1 %) — в варианте с применением Реглон супер. В среднем, к моменту уборки влажность кукурузного стебля снижалась на 6,0 – 9,5 %, стержня — на 3,5 – 5,5 %, ножки початка — на 9,0 – 10,5 %. Несколько меньшее влияние оказывали десиканты на листья и обертку початка, где влажность уменьшалась в среднем на 0,2 – 0,8 и 0,5 – 1,5 % соответственно.

Published: November 2019

Среди генов, регулирующих важные метаболические процессы в организме кур, ген гипофизарного фактора транскрипции (PitI) занимает особое место. Этот ген связан с формированием продуктивных качеств и отвечает за ряд биологических свойств организма. Изучен аллельный состав гена PitI в популяции кур породы корниш кросса «Смена-8». Определена связь аллельных вариантов гена с продуктивными признаками птицы. Материалом исследования служила ДНК, выделенная из крови кур указанного выше кросса (152 головы). Доминирующим генотипом является гомозиготный генотип СС с частотой 0,72 у кур и 0,73 у петухов. Из 152 проанализированных кур и петухов гетерозиготный генотип СТ встречался у 42 особей, гомозиготный генотип СС — у 109 особей, гомозиготный генотип ТТ — у 1 особи. У особей гомозиготного генотипа СС зрелость наступала раньше — в 196,54 ± 2,34 дня в сравнении с 202,85 дня у особей гетерозиготного генотипа СТ (p < < 0,05). Не обнаружено достоверной разницы по живой массе и другим признакам, кроме половой зрелости, между генотипами по гену PitI (rs13687127).

Solid Works 2014, ANSYS 15.0 software was used to analyze the fields of flow and temperature inside the shell and the tubes. The RNG k-ε model was used and it provided good results. Coarse and fine meshes were investigated, showing that aspect ratio has no significant effect. 14 million elements were used in the mesh. A comparison was made between the profiles of temperature and velocity for the experimental and results of the model and it had an acceptable adaptation.
Mobile-based Human Emotion Recognition based on Speech and Heart rate
Authors: Swadi Huda Majed , Ali Hamid Mohammed
Published: November 2019

Mobile-based human emotion recognition is very challenging subject, most of the approaches suggested and built in this field utilized various contexts that can be derived from the external sensors and the smartphone, but these approaches suffer from different obstacles and challenges. The proposed system integrated human speech signal and heart rate, in one system, to leverage the accuracy of the human emotion recognition. The proposed system is designed to recognize four human emotions; angry, happy, sad and normal. In this system, the smartphone is used to   record user speech and send it to a server. The smartwatch, fixed on user wrist, is used to measure user heart rate while the user is speaking and send it, via Bluetooth, to the smartphone which in turn sends it to the server. At the server side, the speech features are extracted from the speech signal to be classified by neural network. To minimize the misclassification of the neural network, the user heart rate measurement is used to direct the extracted speech features to either excited (angry and happy) neural network or to the calm (sad and normal) neural network. In spite of the challenges associated with the system, the system achieved 96.49% for known speakers and 79.05% for unknown speakers

Fridays of Revolution: Focal Days and Mass Protest in Egypt and Tunisia
Authors: Ketchley Neil , Barrie Christopher
Published: November 2019

Focal days of protest are increasingly common to episodes of revolutionary mobilization. This paper explores the significance of focal days in patterning sustained protest in Egypt and Tunisia from 2011 to 2012. In Egypt, resource-poor activists exploited the confluence of worshippers on Fridays to mobilize mass transitory protest. This reliance on ritualized action hindered cross-sectoral coordination and meant mass protest often failed to inflict a direct economic cost. In Tunisia, there was no focal day of protest, in large part due to the coordinating hand of trade unions. In consequence, mass protest was more likely to span multiple sites, sectors, and tactics. These results suggest that oppositions can sustain mass mobilization even absent organizational capacity, but a reliance on a focal day limits the potential of protest over a political transition. Supplementary analyses point to the applicability of our findings to a number of other Arab Spring countries.
A simplified model for predicting shrinkage during low temperature air drying of porous food materials
Authors: Sinha Ankita , Bhargav Atul
Published: November 2019

Food materials shrink when they are air-dried. However, owing largely to the complexity of modelling, most drying models so far have neglected this shrinkage, leading to inaccurate predictions. The empirical nature, inability to yield data on location-specific deformations and computational cost of detailed poro-mechanistic analyses and complex deformation modelling approaches make them unattractive for models that could be used in real-time process control algorithms. In this work, we develop a simplified transport model to predict spatial and temporal shrinkage during low temperature air drying process, and validate the model with experiments. In such drying, volumetric change is dominated by moisture loss; therefore the role of gas induced porosity is neglected. This model predicts shrinkage, temperature and moisture content at each spatial location at time intervals during the drying process. The model agrees well with experiments conducted by us (reported in this paper) as well as with those conducted by others (taken from the literature) on food samples. We expect that this generalized model will find wide applications in the food processing industry.

Inclusion Requires a Comprehensive Understanding of Justice
Authors: Martin Chris C. , Newstetter Wendy , Ledoux Joseph M.
Published: November 2019

Educators wish to treat their students and colleagues justly, and equally important, educators wish their students to treat one another justly. We believe that the field of justice research provides a strong foundation for promoting diversity and inclusion. In this editorial, we argue that undergraduate engineering teams should be taught how to measure justice, how to structure team processes to increase justice, and how to ameliorate injustice. These lessons can increase the level of inclusion within these teams and prepare students to be inclusive during their professional careers.
