Experimental and Computational Analysis of Single Phase Flow Coiled Flow Inverter Focusing on Number of Transfer Units and Effectiveness
Authors: Barthram Thomas , Rivera-Solorio Carlos I.
Published: May 2016

The coiled flow inverter (CFI) is an enhanced heat exchanger. This device uses the principle of flow inversion to increase heat transfer and has potential for industrial applications. A mathematical model based on experimental and numerical data was developed for the case of single phase flow with water as working fluids. This model includes (ε-NTU) Effectiveness Number of Transfer Units curves, Nusselt correlations, for this specific neither parallel nor counter flow setup. A range of Reynolds numbers from 2,000 to 18,000 in the tube side, and 500 to 2,000 in the shell side was considered. The coiled flow inverter is made of coils and 90◦ bends, inserted in a closed shell. The shell side is cylindrical. The average temperatures at input and output of the heat exchanger were reported for different tube and shell side flow rates. Overall heat-transfer coefficients (Uf) were calculated as well as the Number of Transfer Units (NTU) and Effectiveness (ε) at various process conditions. A Nusselt correlation was proposed for the shell side of this configuration. The ε-NTU curves of the selected heat exchanger have a high resemblance to the parallel flow tube heat exchanger, with a maximum of 2.1 % error. The coiled flow inverter has increases of 200 %, 300 % and 500 %, respectively for effectiveness, number of transfer units and overall heat transfer coefficient compared to a regular parallel flow heat exchanger at the same conditions. Correlations for the CFI in its shell were proposed. This heat exchanger provides higher Uf, reduces cumbersomeness and length of piping.

On norm of single layer potentials on segments
Authors: Zoalroshd Seyed M.
Published: May 2016

We show that, for a special case, equality of the spectra of single layer potentials defined on two segments implies that these segments must have equal length. We also provide an upper bound for the operator norm and exact expression for the Hilbert–Schmidt norm of single layer potentials on segments.

Prevalence and clinical features of polycystic ovarian syndrome in adolescents with previous childhood growth hormone deficiency
Authors: Ciresi Alessandro , Amato Marco C. , Bianco Jessica , Giordano Carla
Published: May 2016

Growth hormone (GH) plays a role in the regulation of ovarian function but there are limited data in women with GH deficiency (GHD). Our aim was to evaluate the features of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in women with previous GHD.

Data of 22 adolescents previously GH-treated (group A) were compared with those of 22 women with classical PCOS (group B) and 20 controls (group C).

: Group A showed higher testosterone (p=0.048) and prevalence of menstrual irregularities (p<0.001) than group C. Compared to the group B, group A showed lower diastolic blood pressure (p=0.004), degree of hirsutism (p=0.005), testosterone (p=0.003) and prevalence of polycsytic ovaries (POC) morphology (p=0.024), with higher HDL-cholesterol (p=0.035) and 17-β-estradiol (p=0.009).

: Adolescents with previous GHD show a higher prevalence of PCOS than controls, but with milder metabolic and hormonal features than adolescents with classical PCOS. A careful long-term follow-up is advisable in these patients.

Introduction. Language acquisition and cognitive science at the crossroads
Authors: Liceras Juana M. , Grinstead John
Published: May 2016

The articles compiled in this volume provide an account of current research in “core” areas in the field of language acquisition (primary, secondary and bilingual) and suggest new avenues of research and ways of approaching the relationship between the theories and methodologies. Within the framework of cognitive sciences, specifically linguistics and psycholinguistics, the articles investigate language acquisition from four different dimensions: processing and lexical access, the prosody–pragmatics interface, the discourse–syntax interface and language impairment (so-called specific language impairment). Using data from four Romance languages – Catalan, French, Portuguese and Spanish – these articles address state-of-the-art issues pertaining to the relationship between language acquisition and other cognitive modules.

Metalinguistic comments in teenage personal blogs: Bringing youth voices to studies of youth, language and technology
Authors: Bogetić Ksenija
Published: May 2016

The language that young people use in technologically mediated interactions has been sensationally exoticized by the mass media, constructed as a distinct form of communication barely comprehensible to adults, and presented as a threat to standard English, as well as to human relationships and the social order. The question of young people’s actual role in linguistic and social change is one that runs through much of the existing research on the subject, but also one that remains limited to adult perspectives. In the present study, I aim to address this gap by investigating young people’s own metalanguage in a genre where traditionally such metalinguistic awareness would be little expected – in teenage personal blogs. The material used is composed of 32 personal blogs written by American teenagers in the period between 2010 and 2013, collected from a popular dating website, Mylol.net. The teenage bloggers are shown to frequently orient to their peers’ Internet language and to norms of orthography, perpetuating many aspects of standard-language ideology and linking them with adolescent concerns. I wish to use these examples in order to draw attention to the diversity of teenagers’ attitudes to language and technologically mediated communication, which works to challenge particular dominant assumptions. More broadly, I will argue that a full understanding of young people’s online practices and their potential impact on language and communication crucially requires more nuanced attention to youth voices and youth agency.
Introducing Connected Concept Analysis: A network approach to big text datasets
Authors: Lindgren Simon
Published: May 2016

This paper introduces Connected Concept Analysis (CCA) as a framework for text analysis which ties qualitative and quantitative considerations together in one unified model. Even though CCA can be used to map and analyze any full text dataset, of any size, the method was created specifically for taking the sensibilities of qualitative discourse analysis into the age of the Internet and big data. Using open data from a large online survey on habits and views relating to intellectual property rights, piracy and file sharing, I introduce CCA as a mixed-method approach aiming to bring out knowledge about corpuses of text, the sizes of which make it unfeasible to make comprehensive close readings. CCA aims to do this without reducing the text to numbers, as often becomes the case in content analysis. Instead of simply counting words or phrases, I draw on constant comparative coding for building concepts and on network analysis for connecting them. The result – a network graph visualization of key connected concepts in the analyzed text dataset – meets the need for text visualization systems that can support discourse analysis.

Self-Conception of The Vagrants in Jakarta
Authors: Rohim Syaiful
Published: May 2016

This research aims to identify the self construction and communicating acts amongst the homeless while they are doing their daily activities as a vagrant in downtown Jakarta. The method being used for this research is a qualitative method with phenomenologist paradigm which aims to understand human behaviors from an experimental perspective. Result shows that vagrants, especially those who has the same profession, tend to share the area of work in order to avoid conflicts among them. Description from the subject in establishing communication with other vagrants are done by sharing area of expertise from himself and other vagrants. Results also showed that almost all the subjects tend to close their “darker” side from others who don’t know that they are vagrants by impression management. These people came into existence not only because of a poor culture which shows nomadic type of living habit, but it’s also because of the structure and vast majority which sees them with a negative stigma for every type of occupation they choose including a forced action because they were left without any choices other being a vagrant.

Resistance to the patriarchy system which is done by women in the documentary movie is seen from many phenomenon of early marriage, divorce, and re-marry.
Food Security and the Futures of Farmers in Decentralisation Era: a Case Study From Sigi District Central Sulawesi
Authors: Alamsyah Muhammad Nur , Sultan Sultan , Sayuti Sayuti
Published: May 2016

Decentralization is a form of democratization used to push development at district level. The formation of new autonomous regions results into more land conversion and politicization of society, rather than the strengthening of food security and the wellbing of farmers. This study examines the effectivity of local policy of Sigi District South Sulawesi to strengthen food security and elevate the prosperity of farmers. Through qualitative methods to bring together stakeholders (farmers, local authorities) through focus group discussions and in-depth interviews, the study found that the district policy still is formalistic. There is no standard information dissemination,no better attitude and commitment to the policy, limited resources, and there is no work standard. The role of regional food security council is not optimal, a lot of institutional barriers, there is no involvement of the community in accessing the programmes and also high politicization of this top down policy. Key Word: Policy, Local Goverment, food security, DecentralizationDesentralisasi merupakan wujud demokratisasi daerah untuk pembangunan. Pembentukan daerah otonom baru (DOB) melahirkan terjadinya alih fungsi lahan dan politisasi masyarakat seperti petani daripada penguatan ketahanan pangan dan penguatan petani. Penelitian ini bertujuan meneliti kebijakan Kabupaten Sigi dalam hal penguatan ketahanan pangan dan petani. Melalui metode kualitatif dengan mempertemukan pemangku kepentingan (petani, pejabat daerah) melalui diskusi kelompok terfokus dan wawancara mendalam, diketahui bahwa kebijakan masih bersifat formalistik. Tidak ada sosialisasi informasi secara baik, sikap dan komitmen terhadap kebijakan kurang, keterbatasan sumber daya, tidak ada standar kerja. Dewan ketahanan pangan daerah belum optimal, hambatan struktur dan kelembagaan, tidak ada keterlibatan masyarakat dalam mengakses penyusunan program serta tingginya politisasi pada bidang pertanian yang semuanya dikelola secara top down di daerah.

Published: May 2016

The purpose of this study is to determine the social capital and communication system of Ettawa goat breeders (Peranakan Ettawa/PE) Kaligesing race in Purworejo. The study used the theory of social capital and communication systems in the perspective of Niklas Luhmann. The method of this study employed ethnography. Social capital of breeders is developed within farmers’ groups (Poktan). The existing social capitals in Poktan include trust, network, and norms. Social capital of trust is seen in the management of membership dues/contribution, poktan board transparency, division of work, and goat farming with nggaduh system. Network appears in the cooperation between Poktan with other Poktan, instructors/educator, traders/markets, universities, villages and districts. Norms are seen in the agreement on the division of dues, waragan group, and the breeders who use goats as debt guarantee and youth Poktan rules that prohibit breeders to sell the goats before lambing.
Institutional Membership and Rural Development in Indonesia: Case Study of Three Villages in Purbalingga
Authors: Sutiyo Sutiyo , Nurdin Ismail
Published: May 2016

This study aims to measure community membership in rural institution and analyze its benefits in rural development after Indonesian decentralization. To do so, a case study was conducted in Serang, Kedarpan and Sumilir village of Purbalingga District, Central Java Province. Respondents of this study consist of 232 people, and data are analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. Findings of this study present that diverse community groups exist, and most households become active members in one to two rural institutions. Neighbourhood, religious and farmer groups are the most active institutions in term of membership and carrying periodic meeting. Membership in rural institutions improves access to financial, physical and natural capital, but less in improving human capital. While most villagers are member of neighbourhood, farmer and religious groups, the village government does not build intensive interaction with these institutions in meetings to formulate village decision. Thus, the empowerment process is not optimally delivered, and the institutions cannot optimally help their members in addressing their livelihood problems. Some initiatives are performed by the institutions, but without government support, they result only limited benefits for the members. Thus, this study recommends the government to involve more institutions in village decision making, especially by improving the participation of neighbourhood, religious and farmer groups.
Papalele: Dangerous Encounter and Transaction in Conflict
Authors: Soegijono Simon Pieter
Published: May 2016

The true peace is still being fought in various countries, indeed Indonesia. It relates with the pluralism life as the main constraint recently. So it is important to raise the individual and community awareness to pluralism. Thus, peace becomes important factor for any country with various identity like Indonesia. This Peace is related to some value, as follows: mutual respect and sense of tolerence to face the conflict of religion, ethnicity and race that takes place at this time. At recent, numerous attempts have done by government, education institution, non-governmental organization, and others independent stakeholder. The strategy of peace recovery can be done by formal activities, like: workshop, training, seminar, focus group discussion, etc. However, it appears negative impression of the results which is not optimal. In spite of the efforts to build peace, this paper as the research give an idea contribution to peace on the empirical level and informal that was built by micro business in Ambon City. They are known as papalele. Papalele provides essential lessons about peace from economic activity; without religion, etnicity ang race. Despite, their role was not considered various stakeholder at that time and became untold story in peace building in Ambon City, in fact they are true peace bridge.
The Reinforcement of Multiculture-Based Curriculum For Students of Foreign Nationalities in Indonesian Schools
Authors: Rachmawati Iva
Published: May 2016

Multicultural curriculum in Indonesia is developed for students with multicultural backgrounds to internalize multicultural values without having to lose their own cultural identity. A multicultural curriculum is designed to promote teaching methods developed based on the diversity of the students themselves with the purpose of educating them to understand pluralism, humanism, and democracy and to respect each other both inside and outside the school. Such a multicultural curriculum proves to be a barrier for students with non multicultural backgrounds.  Their different backgrounds limit their understanding of the diversity. This situation requires a new curriculum. This article is the result of the Competitive Grants research regarding multicultural curriculum for students of foreign nationalities. The interviews with the participants of IACS (Indonesian Art Culture Sholarship) program in 2013 and 2014 have indicated that classroom discussions and direct interaction with the local community could become some kind of reinforcement for the formation of a new curriculum for students with foreign nationalities to better understand the diversity of Indonesia instead of art and cultural education.

Published: May 2016

The purpose of the study is to identify the needs and appropriate media for information services regarding the management of freshwater and sanitation of small island community in North Lombok. The data was collected using a questionnaire with the households as respondents. The study then compared two samples i.e. the community in the district of Lombok north and Kepulauan Seribu using Kolmogorov-Smirnov technique. The community in both districts has similarities and differences in the aspect of demographic, understanding, behaviors as well as the information needs and the preferred media. The study concludes that the community in Lombok Utara needs information about global warming and its effect to the damage of freshwater and sanitation. The media information such as film animation is necessary to be considered due to fact that people of the two districts have a longer time on the land.

Published: May 2016

Curriculum 2013 requires teachers to be more creative in compiling teaching materials which are innovative, varied, exciting, contextual, and in accordance with learners’ needs to achieve learning objectives. This research aims at developing IPS materials for VII graders of Junior High School (SMP) based on ethnophotography. This study used Research and Development design (R D). The results were analyzed by qualitative analysis technique. The results show that most social studies (IPS) teachers have not yet developed the IPS materials for VII graders of SMP which is relevant to the environmental conditions. The ethnophotography was used to determine the development of IPS materials by photographing/taking pictures of each regional potential to be used as supporting material in IPS materials. Through ethnophotography, the students would be more interested and easier to learn the material, and at the same time, they learn a variety of region’s potential. In conclusion, the IPS material based on ethnophotography can be used as one of the ways to develop teaching materials to get more effective and efficient learning because students can easily understand the material through the photographs displayed in the teaching materials because the photographs show a variety of things around it.

Published: May 2016

Migration phenomena, especially internal migrations which are usually called commuting migration, take place almost in the entire parts of Indonesia. One commuting migration phenomenon is shown by workers of Semarang District. The purpose of this study is to partially analyze the influence of income, education, marital status, land ownership, sex, and age variable upon workers’ commuting decision of Semarang District. This study uses both primary, obtained from questionnaires of 100 respondents, and secondary data. The results of binary logistic regression model analysis in this study show that two independent variables of income and education significantly influence workers’ commuting decision while marital status, land ownership, sex, and age variable do not influence workers’ commuting decision.

Published: May 2016

Every Hindu family in Bali dedicates offerings of Canang Sari on a daily basis. The provision of the offering is not always created by them, but they buy canang sari. This has turned canang sari into a market commodity. Therefore, women have emerged as canang sari street vendors in the several towns in Bali. This study examines the reasons why women do this job, especially in Singaraja Regency. The approach of this research was qualitative study which focused on critical social theory. The results show that the reasons women do such business activities not solely because canang sari street vendors is an informal economic sector, but also it is related to the ownership of economic, social, cultural, and symbolic capitals. This reason is strengthened by the condition of Balinese who have affected by McDonaldization society so they prefer to buy canang sari rather than making it their own.

Variation in NICU Admission Rates Without Identifiable Cause
Authors: Ziegler Kathryn A. , Paul David A. , Hoffman Matthew , Locke Robert
Published: May 2016

OBJECTIVES:

Admission to the NICU is influenced by physiologic compromise and by hospital care protocols. Providing appropriate care must be balanced with adverse consequences of NICU admission, such as interrupting maternal–infant bonding and unnecessary interventions. This study aims to determine the variation in NICU admissions in term and late preterm infants among 19 hospitals.

METHODS:

We used the Consortium on Safe Labor (CSL) database to determine NICU admission rates. This database includes data from 217 442 infants aged 35 to 42 weeks within 19 US maternal delivery hospitals from 2002 to 2008. NICU admission rates were evaluated for absolute factors including, but not limited to, sepsis, asphyxia, respiratory distress, and intracranial hemorrhage, as well as relative factors, such as maternal drug use, chorioamnionitis, and infant birth weight ≤2500 g.

RESULTS:

Percentage of infants 35 to 42 weeks’ gestation admitted to the NICU without an identifiable absolute or relative cause for intensive care services ranged from 0% to 59.4% (mean, 10.8%; P < .001). Among infants 35 to 42 weeks’ gestation and ≥2500 g, infants without absolute or relative identified cause accounted for 9.1% of total NICU days and had lower length of stays (–2.7 days; 95% confidence interval –3.4; –2.1) compared to those with an identified reason.

CONCLUSIONS:

There is significant variation in admission rates among NICUs that cannot be explained by infant health conditions. Further analysis is needed to determine the cause of between-site variation and potential opportunities to refine protocols and optimize use of NICU services.
Screen Media Use in Hospitalized Children
Authors: Arora Gitanjli , Soares Neelkamal , Li Ning , Zimmerman Frederick J.
Published: May 2016

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

Screen media overuse is associated with negative physical and mental health effects in children. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends limiting screen media use at home; however, there are no similar guidelines for children’s hospitals. This study was conducted to explore caregiver (parent or other guardian) perceptions about screen media use, compare at-home with in-hospital screen media use, and measure screen use among hospitalized children.

METHODS:

We obtained data from a convenience cohort of hospitalized children at a single, comprehensive tertiary care children’s hospital over 3 periods of 2 weeks each from 2013 to 2014. Home and hospital screen media use was measured through survey and study personnel directly observed hospital screen use. Descriptive statistics are reported and generalized estimating equation was used to identify characteristics associated with screen media use.

RESULTS:

Observation (n = 1490 observations) revealed screen media on 80.3% of the time the hospitalized child was in the room and awake, and 47.8% of observations with direct attention to a screen. Surveyed caregivers reported their child engaging in significantly more screen media use in the hospital setting as compared with home, and 42% of caregivers reported the amount of screen time used by their child in the hospital was more than they would have liked.

CONCLUSIONS:

Hospitalized children have access to a variety of screen media, and this media is used at rates far higher than recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Children’s hospitals should consider developing guidelines for screen media use.
Following the (Clinical Decision) Rules: Opportunities for Improving Safety and Resource Utilization With the Bacterial Meningitis Score
Authors: Hagedorn Philip A. , Shah Samir S. , Kirkendall Eric S.
Published: May 2016

BACKGROUND:

The Bacterial Meningitis Score accurately classifies children with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pleocytosis at very low risk (VLR) versus not very low risk (non-VLR) for bacterial meningitis. Most children with CSF pleocytosis detected during emergency department evaluation are hospitalized despite the high accuracy of this prediction rule and the decreasing incidence of bacterial meningitis. The lack of widespread use of this rule may contribute to unnecessary risk exposure and costs.

METHODS:

This cross-sectional study included 1049 patients who, between January 2010 and May 2013, had suspicion for meningitis and underwent both a complete blood cell count and CSF studies during their emergency department evaluation. We then examined their hospitalizations to characterize exposure to drugs, radiologic studies, and the costs associated with their care to determine the safety and value repercussions of these VLR admissions. Primary outcomes include duration of antibiotics, exposure to drugs and radiology studies, safety events, and costs incurred during these VLR admissions.

RESULTS:

Twenty patients classified as VLR were admitted to the hospital. On average they received35 hours of antibiotic therapy. There was 1 adverse drug event and 1 safety event.

CONCLUSIONS:

The VLR patients admitted to the hospital were exposed to risk and costs despite their low risk stratification. Systematic application of the Bacterial Meningitis Score could prevent these exposures and costs.

Published: May 2016

OBJECTIVE:

To explore the attitudes, preferences, and experiences of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and CF providers toward sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care for young women with CF.

METHODS:

Young women with CF aged 18 to 30 years from a US CF care center and pediatric and adult CF program directors from a national sample participated in qualitative interviews investigating their experiences regarding SRH care and their attitudes and preferences toward SRH care provision in the CF setting. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and coded by using a thematic analysis approach.

RESULTS:

Twenty-two patient participants and 16 CF program directors were interviewed. Themes shared by both groups included the importance of SRH discussion in the CF care setting, patient and provider discomfort as a barrier to SRH care, and the need for SRH educational resources and provider training to improve SRH care. Providers highlighted the lack of standardization around SRH care in the current CF care model. Patients desired SRH educational resources coupled with early SRH discussions initiated by their CF provider.

CONCLUSIONS:

Both CF providers and patients agree that the CF provider has a fundamental role in providing CF-specific SRH care. Educational resources coupled with individualized SRH discussions may facilitate improved SRH care for young women with CF. Investigation into the implementation of SRH education and services into pediatric-onset chronic disease care models is needed.
