Published: October 2018

Modeling and design of fiber lasers facilitate the process of their practical realization. Of particular interest during the last few years is the development of lanthanide ion-doped fiber lasers which operate at wavelengths exceeding 2000 nm. There are two main host glass materials considered for this purpose, namely fluoride and chalcogenide glasses. Therefore, this study concerns comparative modeling of fiber lasers operating within the infrared wavelength region beyond 2000 nm. In particular, the convergence properties of selected algorithms, implemented within various software environments, are studied with a specific focus on the central processing unit (CPU) time and calculation residual. Two representative fiber laser cavities are considered: one is based on a chalcogenide-selenide glass step-index fiber doped with trivalent dysprosium ions whilst the other is a fluoride step-index fiber doped with trivalent erbium ions. The practical calculation accuracy is also assessed by comparing directly the results obtained from the different models.
The Ascendency of Numerical Methods in Lens Design
Authors: Dilworth Donald C.
Published: October 2018

Advancement in physics often results from analyzing numerical data and then creating a theoretical model that can explain and predict those data.  In the field of lens design, the reverse is true: longstanding theoretical understanding is being overtaken by more powerful numerical methods.

Published: October 2018

The possibility of using additive manufacturing (AM) in the medicine area has created a new opportunities in health care. This has contributed to a sharp increase in demand for 3D printers, their systems and materials that are adapted to strict medical requirements. We described herein a medical-grade thermoplastic polyurethane (S-TPU), which was developed and then formed into a filament for Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printers during a melt-extrusion process. S-TPU consisting of aliphatic hexamethylene 1,6-diisocyanate (HDI), amorphous α,ω-dihydroxy(ethylene-butylene adipate) (PEBA) and 1,4 butandiol (BDO) as a chain extender, was synthesized without the use of a catalyst. The filament properties were characterized by rheological, mechanical, physico-chemical and in vitro biological properties. The tests showed biocompatibility of the obtained filament as well as revealed no significant effect of the filament formation process on its properties. This study may contribute to expanding the range of medical-grade flexible filaments for standard low-budget FDM printers.
Microbiome – The Missing Link in the Gut-Brain Axis. The Focus on Gastrointestinal and Mental Health

Published: October 2018

The central nervous system (CNS) and the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract communicate through the gut-brain axis (GBA). Such communication is bi-directional and involves neuronal, endocrine and immunological mechanisms. The scientific data are mounting that gut microbiota is a source of a number of neuroactive and immunocompetent substances, which shape the structure and function of brain regions involved in control of emotions, physical activity and cognition. Most of GI maladies are associated with altered transmission within the GBA and influenced both by genetic and environmental factors. Current treatment protocols widely advocated for the treatment of GI disorders may positively or adversely affect the composition of intestinal microbiota with diverse impact on therapeutic outcome. The alterations of gut microbiota have been associated with mood and depressive disorders. and mental health is frequently altered in the course of many GI and non-GI ailments. Deregulation of the GBA may constitute a grip point for the development of diagnostic tools and personalized microbiota-based therapy. For example next generation sequencing (NGS) offers detailed analysis of microbiome footprints in patients with mental and GI disorders. Psychobiotics are new class of beneficial bacteria, with documented efficacy in the treatment of gut-brain axis disorders.

Published: October 2018

Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) are currently a fundamental source of information in Earth Sciences. However, DTM-based studies can contain remarkable biases if limitations and inaccuracies of these models are disregarded. In this work, four freely available datasets such as SRTM C-SAR DEM, ASTER GDEM V2 and two airborne LiDAR derived DTMs (at 5 and 1 m spatial resolution, respectively) were analysed in a comparative study in three geomorphologically contrasted catchments located in Mediterranean geoecosystems under intensive human land use influence. Vertical accuracy as well as the influence of each dataset characteristics on hydrological and geomorphological modelling applicability were assessed by using classic geometric and morphometric parameters and the more recently proposed index of sediment connectivity. Overall vertical accuracy – expressed as Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Normalized Median Deviation (NMAD) – revealed the highest accuracy in the cases of the 1 m (RMSE = 1.55 m; NMAD = 0.44 m) and 5 m LiDAR DTMs (RMSE = 1.73 m; NMAD = 0.84 m). Vertical accuracy of SRTM was lower (RMSE = 6.98 m; NMAD = 5.27 m) but considerably higher than in the case of ASTER (RMSE = 16.10 m; NMAD = 11.23 m). All datasets were affected by systematic distortions. As a consequence, propagation of these errors caused negative impacts on flow routing, stream network and catchment delineation and, to a lower extent, on the distribution of slope values. These limitations should be carefully considered when applying DTMs for hydrogeomorphological modelling.

Published: October 2018

Gamma titanium aluminides (γ-TiAl) present an excellent behaviour under high temperature conditions, being a feasible alternative to nickel-based superalloy components in aeroengine sector. However, considered as a difficult to cut material, process cutting parameters require special study to guarantee components quality. In this work, developed drilling mechanistic model is a useful tool in order to predict drilling force (Fz) and torque (Tc) for optimal drilling conditions determination. The model is validated for three types of Gamma-TiAl alloys. Integral hard metal end-drilling tools and different cutting parameters (feeds and cutting speeds) are tested in three different sized holes for each alloy.
A Remote Sensing Contribution to Flood Modelling in an Inaccessible Mountainous River Basin
Authors: Hussain Alamgeer , Sagin Jay , Chun Kwok P.
Published: October 2018

Flash flooding, a hazard which is triggered by heavy rainfall is a major concern in many regions of the world often with devastating results in mountainous elevated regions. We adapted remote sensing modelling methods to analyse one flood in July 2015, and believe the process can be applicable to other regions in the world. The isolated thunderstorm rainfall occurred in the Chitral River Basin (CRB), which is fed by melting glaciers and snow from the highly elevated Hindu Kush Mountains (Tirick Mir peak’s elevation is 7708 m). The devastating cascade, or domino effect, resulted in a flash flood which destroyed many houses, roads, and bridges and washed out agricultural land. CRB had experienced devastating flood events in the past, but there was no hydraulic modelling and mapping zones available for the entire CRB region. That is why modelling analyses and predictions are important for disaster mitigation activities. For this flash flood event, we developed an integrated methodology for a regional scale flood model that integrates the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite, Geographic Information System (GIS), hydrological (HEC-HMS) and hydraulic (HEC-RAS) modelling tools. We collected and use driver discharge and flood depth observation data for five river sub-stream areas, which were acquired in cooperation with the Aga Khan Rural Support Program (AKRSP) organization. This data was used for the model’s calibration and verification. This modelling methodology is applicable for other regional studies especially for rough mountainous areas which lack local observations and river discharge gauges. The results of flood modelling are useful for the development of a regional early flood warning system and flood mitigation in hazardous flood risk areas. The flood simulations and prepared connected video visualization can be used for local communities. This approach is applicable for flood mitigation strategies in other regions.
Studies on the Wooden Box Containing the "Marco Polo's Bible"
Authors: Augelli Francesco
Published: October 2018

Aims of the paper are the results of a research on a wooden box that holds an important historical document, which is a hand Bible handwritten in the thirteenth century. The tradition connect this Bible to the name of Marco Polo (Venice, 1254 - Venice, 1324), who would be the owner and that it would accompany him on his travels (1262 and 1271) in China. The Bible, of fine workmanship, written on thin parchment, and its container, along with a yellow silk cloth, is preserved in the ancient and prestigious Laurentian Library in Florence. The manuscript was in very poor condition and in the course of the study (2011) was being restored. Aims of survey were to determine the place and period of realization of the box, or rather if it be contemporary or later than the manuscript it contains and whether it was made in the East or in Europe.
The Pierre Auger Observatory: Review of Latest Results and Perspectives
Authors: Gora Dariusz
Published: October 2018

The Pierre Auger Observatory is the world's largest operating detection system for the observation of ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). The detector allows detailed measurements of their energy spectrum, mass composition and arrival directions of primary cosmic rays in the energy range above $10^{17}$ eV. The data collected at the Observatory over the last decade show the suppression of the cosmic ray flux at energies above $4\times10^{19}$ eV. However, it is still unclear if this suppression is caused by the propagation of cosmic rays or rather by energy limitation of their sources. The other puzzle is the origin of UHECRs. Some clues can be drawn from studying the distribution of their arrival directions. The recently observed dipole anisotropy has an orientation which indicates an extragalactic origin of UHECRs. The Auger surface detector array is also sensitive to showers due to ultra high energy neutrinos of all flavours and photons, and recent neutrino and photon limits provided by the Observatory can constrain models of the cosmogenic neutrino production and exotic scenarios of the UHECRs origin, such as the decays of super heavy particles. In this paper the recent results on measurements of the energy spectrum, mass composition and arrival directions of cosmic rays, and future prospects are presented.

Published: October 2018

This study explores the impact of financial inclusions on financial resilience. In doing so, we utilize the World Bank’s data on global financial inclusions. Our study confirms that the respondents with financial accounts are more resilient than those without accounts. The chances of being financially resilient are around 1.4 times higher for the account holders than their counterparts. We find a significant relationship between gender and financial resilience; males are 1.4 times more resilient than females when other covariates are considered in the regression model.

Published: October 2018

In 2015, Romania was the first country in Europe that achieved EU targets regarding the share of renewables in the generation mix, far ahead of the 2020 deadline. Starting with the energy structure in Romania, the paper: (1) analyses the evolution of the main indicators in the renewable energy sector, (2) discloses the perspectives of renewable energy in Romania synthesizing the main trends of development in the field and (3) analyses the challenges facing with the development of renewable energy in Romania. Based on analyzing the exploratory data, the paper makes a preliminary prediction of the development of the sector for the future decades and proposes targeted countermeasures and suggestions. Romania still has unexploited potential concerning renewable energy sources. Because Romania registered a continuous economic growth, the demand for electricity is steadily growing, and this trend is expected to continue. Also, Romania could introduce a support mechanism for developing the potential of unexploited potential. The results of the present study may be useful for further research regarding public policies for the development of renewable energy. Also, it can represent a useful analysis in order to identify the future trends of renewable energy in Romania.

A healthy community is a community resilient to disaster. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction considers disaster impacts on health and encourages the implementation of disaster medicine and access to mental health services. Life expectancy (LE) is a basic statistic that indicates public health achievements and social development, including the health system, infrastructure, and accurate vital statistics. Thus, we hypothesized that LE corelates with disaster risk and strategies to achieve long LE can help achieving disaster risk reduction. We compared the disaster risk obtained from Index for Risk Management (INFORM) with the LE of both genders at birth to identify which component of INFORM risk correlates with LE. A correlation analysis revealed that overall INFORM risk negatively correlated with LE. The natural hazard category did not correlate with LE, but the human hazard category, vulnerability, and lack of coping capacity negatively correlated with LE. In the vulnerability dimension, indicators of socioeconomic vulnerability, health conditions, and children U5 negatively correlated with LE. In the lack of coping capacity dimension, indicators of communication, physical infrastructure, and access to health care negatively correlated with LE. Japan has achieved the longest LE and a low INFORM risk because of its lower vulnerability and reduced lack of coping capacity, including healthrelated indicators. In a cluster analysis of LE and INFORM categories of risk, we divided countries into four clusters and found categories that could be improved. Compared with another global disaster risk index, the Word Risk Index (WRI), the INFORM risk index seems to represent the overall disaster risk better, though they have different aspects of risk evaluation. The WRI is also negatively correlated with LE, supporting our hypothesis. In conclusion, LE is an important indicator of disaster risk and strategies to achieve long LE can be effective and important strategies in disaster risk reduction.

This study aimed to examine actual situations and problems involving evacuation activity during the Mt. Agung eruption in the autumn and winter of 2017. It also clarified (from the viewpoints of administrative information, individuals, families, local residence organizations, and simple notification services) the factors that promoted evacuation based on an examination of data from evacuees and supporters as provided by administrative agencies, questionnaires, and surveys. There were two main results. The first involved the relationship between alert recognition and recognition of the call for evacuation. When people received the volcanic eruption alert from real media sources, they also recognized the call for evacuation from other people or parties within those sources. When people received the alert through virtual media, they also recognized the call for evacuation from the same media. The information recognition path available through real media was narrower than that involving virtual media. Second, only the factor of “alert recognition” realized “group evacuation.” Factors such as “prior action” and “recognition of eruption in 1963” were not directly related to “group evacuation.”

Published: October 2018

Waigeo Island people in Warsamdin Village are remote from the West Papua mainland. But now transportation is easier after becoming a maritime tourism destination for the international community and traditional influences turn out to be modern as is the use of traditional medicine. Traditional knowledge about medicines still relies naturally on utilizing medicinal plants. This study aims to explore the potential of medicinal plants in the Warsamdin community, Waigeo Island, West Papua for generations. The method used by interviewing indigenous elders known as Old Man is either the local name of a medicinal plant, how to use it and as a traditional medicine and traced the morphology of the plant species. Local names are some commonly used species, namely Min ikanu (Morinda citryfolia), Kanaul leaves (Hibiscus sp), Deawas (Psidium guava), red fruit (Pandanus conoideus), Kokanu kaluku, Kiom ikanui, Umare ukani, Bim ikani, Wit ikani , Kokanu matalu. Kabaji and Gaviol. Knowledge of medicinal plants is a knowledge gained through the use of local customs that are descended from the origin of the tribe from Biak Island. These limitations are also influenced by the species of medicinal plants available in the area. The role of medicinal plants is still believed to be able to cure diseases and help cure pain.

Corrosion Inhibition of Copper in 2M Nitric Acid Solution by 2-(Thiobenzyl)-5-Nitro-1H-Benzimidazole
Authors: Coulibaly Nagnonta Hippolyte , Brou Yapi Serge , Akpa Sagne , Creus Juan , Trokourey Albert
Published: October 2018

Pickling with nitric acid is commonly practiced in industry for finishing metal surfaces. The use of inhibitors during the pickling operation is of very recent origin. The TBNBI inhibition effect on copper corrosion in 2M nitric acid solution was investigated by weight loss method in relation to the temperature (25 to 40°C) and inhibitor concentration range 10-4 to 5.10-3 M. The results show that TBNBI is a good inhibitor for copper and the inhibition efficiency increases with concentration of TBNBI but decreases with increase in temperature. The adsorption parameters (ΔGa0ds ,ΔHa0ds ,ΔSa0ds ) and the activation ones * * a a a (E ,ΔH ,ΔS ) for the corrosion process in inhibited and uninhibited nitric acid solution were also calculated using Arrhenius equations. It can be concluded that the adsorption of the compound is spontaneous and found to occur through both physisorption and chemisorption processes. The adsorbed film on copper surface was characterized using optic microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The surface analysis confirmed the inhibition action of TBNBI. Quantum chemical calculations using Gaussian 09 at B3LYP level with 6-31G (d,p) basis set lead to obtain molecular descriptors such as EHOMO (energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital), ELUMO (energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital), ΔE (energy gap) and μ (dipole moment). The global reactivity descriptors such as χ (electronegativity), η (hardness), S (softness) and ω (electrophilicity index) were derived using Koopman’s theorem and analyzed. We used the condensed Fukui function and softness indices, Mulliken population analysis for local reactivity study. The calculated results are consistent with the experimental data.
An Extended Occlusion Detection Approach for Video Processing
Authors: Ha Synh Viet-Uyen , Vu Tuan-Anh , Tran Ha Manh
Published: October 2018

Occlusions become conspicuous as failure regions in video processing when unified over time because the contraventions of the restriction of brightness have accumulated and evolved in occluded regions. The accuracy at the boundaries of the moving objects is one of the challenging areas that required further exploration and research. This paper presents the work in process approach that can detect occlusion regions by using pixel-wise coherence, segment-wise confidence and interpolation technique. Our method can get the same result as usual methods by solving only one Partial Differential Equations (PDE) problem; it is superior to existing methods because it is faster and provides better coverage rates for occlusion regions than variation techniques when tested against a varied number of benchmark datasets. With these improved results, we can apply and extend our approach to a wider range of applications in computer vision, such as background subtraction, tracking, 3D reconstruction, video surveillance, video compression.

Published: October 2018

Coastal water quality is deteriorating worldwide. Water quality monitoring is therefore essential for public health risk evaluation and the management of water bodies. This study investigated the feasibility of using bacteriophages of Enterococcus faecalis as sewage-specific faecal indicators, together with physicochemical (dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature and total suspended solids) and biological parameters, to assess coastal water quality using multivariate analysis incorporating non-detects. The principal component and cluster analyses demonstrated that coastal water quality was mostly influenced by biological parameters, including Escherichia coli and total coliforms, which were found in all 31 sampling sites, and enterococci, which was found in all but two sampling sites. The enterococcal bacteriophages AIM06 and SR14 were detected in 17 and 18 samples at concentrations up to 1,815 and 2,790 PFU/100 mL, respectively. Both bacteriophages co-presented in approximately 80% of phage-positive samples, and the concentrations at each site were not significantly different. Overall, either bacteriophage could be used to differentiate high- and low-level coastal water pollution, as grouped by cluster analysis. This study is the first to investigate the suitability of sewage-specific bacteriophages of E. faecalis for monitoring coastal water quality and emphasises the importance of a multivariate analysis with non-detects to facilitate coastal water quality monitoring and management.

Percepção do enfermeiro sobre os efeitos do trabalho noturno em sua vida
Authors: Girondi Juliana Balbinot Reis , Gelbcke Francine Lima
Published: October 2018

Este trabalho objetivou identificar as percepções dos enfermeiros de um hospital universitário do sul do país acerca dos efeitos do trabalho noturno sobre a saúde e vida social. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa utilizando questionários e análise temática de Bardin. Participaram do estudo 16 enfermeiros. Conclui-se que o trabalho afeta diretamente o equilíbrio psíquico do trabalhador, uma vez que não há como dissociar a saúde psicológica da física, e por isso o trabalho noturno demanda uma reformulação geral de hábitos de vida.Descritores: Trabalho Noturno, Esgotamento Profissional, Saúde Ocupacional.Perception of the nurses on the effects of night work in their livesThis study aimed to identify the perceptions of nurses at a university hospital in southern Brazil, about the effects of night work on their health and social lives.

Enfermagem pré-profissional no Brasil: questões e personagens
Authors: Oguisso Taka , Campos Paulo Fernando De Souza , Moreira Almerinda
Published: October 2018

O presente artigo recupera experiências efetivadas por homens e mulheres em contextos distintos da história da enfermagem pré-profissional brasileira, anterior à institucionalização da formação acadêmica. Pretende-se atualizar conteúdos específicos, recuar o tempo histórico e evidenciar personagens que atuaram no âmbito do cuidar. O objetivo deste trabalho é contribuir para o reconhecimento de ações derivadas do cuidado pré-profissional, desvelando questões pertinentes à pesquisa em enfermagem. Acredita-se que os conteúdos relativos ao período pré-profissional transformam interpretações existentes sobre as origens do cuidado no Brasil, cujas matrizes históricas fundamentam práticas e teorias contemporâneas (humanização, equidade), indicativos seguros da utilidade da análise histórica em relação ao desenvolvimento da profissão.Descritores: História da Enfermagem, Cuidadores, Pesquisa em Enfermagem.Pre-professional nursing in Brazil: issues and charactersThis article recovers past experiences by men and women within distinct contexts of the Brazilian pre-professional nursing history, prior to the academicals education institutionalization. This paper aims to up to date specific contents, go back in the historical time and to evidence who have worked within caring scope and to contribute for the recognition of derived actions in the pre-professional caring scope, showing issues related to nursing research. It is believed that contents related to the pre-professional period may change existent interpretations on the caring origins in Brazil, whose historical sources are based on contemporaneous practices and theories (humanization, equity) may safely indicate the utility of the historical analysis in relation to the development of the profession.Descriptors: Nursing History, Carers, Nursing Research.Enfermería pre-profesional en Brasil: cuestiones y personajesEl presente artículo recupera experiencias vividas por hombres y mujeres en contextos distintos de la historia de la enfermería pre-profesional brasileña, anterior a la institucionalización de la formación académica.

Luzes e blecautes: o público e o privado em Hannah Arendt
Authors: Passos Jorge Roberto Costa , De Mattos Maria Cláudia Tavares , Campos Maria Pontes de Aguiar , Resende Gabryella Garibalde Santana
Published: October 2018

Percorremos, inicialmente, alguns autores clássicos como Platão, Aristóteles, Locke, Marx e outros, na intenção de encontrar uma fundamentação filosófica capaz de iluminar nossa perspectiva. Chegamos a Hannah Arendt, que atendeu plenamente nosso objetivo: compreender o exercício público e privado da saúde em nossa sociedade. Ressalta-se que, embora tenhamos como indiscutível a existência de uma defasagem geral entre os serviços públicos e privados, de modo algum isso é encarado como justo ou natural pela sociedade, seja pela via pública ou privada, mesmo porque tais vias já não são tão rigidamente distintas como eram para a pólis.Descritores: Saúde, Filosofia, Hannah Arendt, Público e Privado.Lights and blackout: public and private command post Hannah ArendtWe first went through some classic authors such as Plato, Aristotle, Locke, Marx and others in the intention to find a satisfactory philosophic reason and really capable of illuminate our perspective. Finally, we got to Hannah Arendt, whom reached completely our objective: to understand the public and private health service that is processing in our society. The conclusion to this process seems to give the public and private sector of equivalent service qualities, what, however, seems far away to accomplish. It is important to notice that, nevertheless we have as indisputable the fact that there is in society a general lag between the public and private service, in any way this is faced as fair or natural for the human being society, which fights for its rights, either by the public or the private way, even because these two ways are not as rigid as they were in thepolis.Descriptors: Health, Philosophy, Hannah Arendt, Public and Private.Luz y apagones: el público y privado em Hannah ArendtRecurrimos, inicialmente, a algunos autores clásicos como Platón, Aristóteles, Locke, Marx y otros con la intención de encontrar un fundamento filosófico satisfactorio y realmente capaz de iluminar nuestra perspectiva. Finalmente, llegamos a Hannah Arendt, quien atendió plenamente a nuestro objetivo: comprender el ejercicio público y privado de salud que se realiza en nuestra sociedad. La conclusión de este proceso parece dotar el ámbito público y privado de equiparables calidades de servicios que, sin embargo, tal vez estén lejos de realizarse. Además es digno denotar que, a pesar de que tengamos como indiscutible el hecho de que existe un defasaje general entre los servicios públicos y privados, de ninguna manera esto es visto como justo o natural por la sociedad, que exige sus derechos, sea por vía pública o vía privada, hasta porque tales vías ya no son tan rígidamente distintas como eran para la polis.Descriptores: Salud, Filosofia, Hannah Arendt, Público y Privado.
