Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Authors: Sari Teny Tjitra
Published: August 2018

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) telah mengalami perubahan definisi dan klasifikasi. Definisi ITP sebagai jumlah trombosit <100.000/uL dengan klasifikasi new diagnosed ITP, ITP persisten, dan ITP kronik. Disregulasi imun ITP menyebabkan menurunnya jumlah megakariosit di sumsum tulang dan trombosit di darah tepi. Diagnosis ditegakkan secara klinis dan pemeriksaan penunjang. Berbagai penelitian telah menunjukkan banyak perubahan pada tata laksana ITP. Bila tidak ada perdarahan ataupun perdarahan ringan, kasus ITP dapat ditatalaksana hanya dengan observasi. Namun demikian, dokter tetap harus dipertimbangkan faktor sosial dalam menentukan pilihan terapi seperti kecemasan orang tua, akivitas anak, dan jarak ke pusat kesehatan. Terapi IVIG dan kortikosteroid tetap menjadi pilihan pertama dalam tata laksana ITP bila terjadi perdarahan berat ataupun mengancam jiwa.
Einfache Formen, komplexe Prozesse. Sprichwörter und Redewendungen in multilateralen Verhandlungen
Authors: Groth Stefan
Published: August 2018

Sprichwörter und Redewendungen dienen in multilateralen Verhandlungen und anderen politischen Kontexten der Verstärkung und Legitimierung von Aussagen. Als Anspielungsformeln eignen sie sich zur impliziten Kommunikation, bei der keine direkten Anschuldigungen oder Forderungen erhoben werden und die für viele politische Kontexte typisch sind. Der Beitrag beleuchtet unterschiedliche Funktionen von Sprichwörtern und Redewendungen als Teil von kommunikativen Strategien in multilateralen Verhandlungen und fragt nach kontextuellen Faktoren, die bei ihrer Analyse Berücksichtigung finden müssen.

Authors: Buduma Parusharamulu , Panda Gayadhar
Published: August 2018

This paper presents an output and state feedback robust LQR (OSRLQR ) optimal controller for the control of active (P) and reactive power (Q) in grid-connected mode, and voltage (V) and active power in islanded mode of photovoltaic (PV) distributed generation (DG) system. The OSRLQR scheme is comprising of an output and state feedback controllers, which are designed based on LMI-LQR optimization approach. The DG inverter along with proposed controller is configured to work as a current source in grid-connected mode and a voltage source in island mode using P-Q and P-V control scheme respectively. A seamless transition between the grid connected and island modes under the presence of the proposed controller is achieved using a passive island detection and synchronization algorithm along with load shedding. The entire control scheme of the DG system is modelled and analyzed using MATLAB/SIMULINK/Robust Tool-Box, and the practical feasibility of the proposed control scheme is verified using dSPACE. A superior trade-off robustness among the stability and performance is the final outcome of the DG system with proposed control scheme. Performance of the proposed control scheme is compared with conventional PI controller and the comparative results indicate the superior performance of proposed control scheme over the conventional control scheme.

Brooks, ER, Benson, AC, and Bruce, LM. Novel technologies found to be valid and reliable for the measurement of vertical jump height with jump-and-reach testing. J Strength Cond Res 32(10): 2838–2845, 2018—Vertical jump testing is used by coaches and athletes across many sports and disciplines to assess lower-body power and neuromuscular fatigue. A range of devices are available to measure jump height, with recent innovations attempting to improve portability, usability, and accessibility. New devices should be evaluated for their effectiveness and dependability in specific tests before being adopted. The purpose of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of 2 novel measurement devices for jump height testing with a jump-and-reach protocol. Twenty-six healthy, active adults participated during 2 testing occasions. A wearable inertial measurement unit (VERT) and a smart device application (My Jump 2) were compared with established measures (force platform and jump-and-reach apparatus [Yardstick]). Correlations between the VERT and force platform were r = 0.95 (90% confidence interval [CI]: 0.93–0.97), and r = 0.93 (90% CI: 0.90–0.95) for the Yardstick. Correlations between the My Jump 2 app and force platform were r = 0.98 (90% CI: 0.97–0.99), and r = 0.94 (90% CI: 0.92–0.96) for the Yardstick. Reliability, measured as intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), was 0.91 (90% CI: 0.87–0.94) for the VERT, and 0.97 (90% CI: 0.96–0.98) for the My Jump 2 app. Intrarater reliability for the My Jump 2 app was ICC = 0.99 (90% CI: 0.99–0.99). The VERT and the My Jump 2 app have both shown acceptable validity and reliability compared with both the force platform and Yardstick. However, practitioners should consider which measurement device/s to use based on the acceptable level of potential error for their population and testing objectives.
Manager’s Flexibility & Cancellation Option: Insights of a Case Study in the Latin American Oil Industry
Authors: Ridolfo Neto Arthur , Russo Marcelo Moreira
Published: August 2018

Purpose: This article focused on the main business insights of the use of Real Options valuation analysis in the eyes of a finance professional. It used a case study of an investment opportunity in the oil and gas field services industry in Latin America to discuss the methodology implementation and its insights. As a secondary objective, it discussed the insights and options embedded in this investment opportunity.Methodology: The investment opportunity was examined using the Real Options Analysis (ROA) framework and the results compared to the traditional methodology of Net Present Value. The valuation technique was performed as if it had been applied at the time the project was approved.Findings: The most important of Real Option valuation is not the results, but how one arrives at them. After the project value is calculated and the project approved or not, the Real Option valuation requires and supports the monitoring of the project. By understanding how the options are created, managers can make better decisions about the project after it was approved.Practical implications: A relevant contribution from the study was the discussion, as a practitioner, of the methodology implementation in a real world corporation. Originality & value: The case study evaluated two types of real options: first, the effect of an option to cancel a contract that was assessed from the perspective of the client contracting the project; and second, the option to abandon and defer, from the perspective of the company that will perform the investment to provide the services. By incorporating the cost of the put option that the company puts forth for the client (cancellation option) it reduces the project value by giving flexibility to its clients.

Numerical Study of Plasticity Effects on High Residual Stress Measurement Using Ring-Core Technique
Authors: Moharrami R. , Sadri M.
Published: August 2018

The ring-core technique is a stress relaxation-based method that is used to determine surface residual stresses in a material based on the linear elastic theory. However, material yielding that is due to ring creation on a highly stressed body would cause some errors. In this article, plasticity effects on high-level uniform residual stresses calculated by the ring-core technique were examined via a numerical analysis. The plasticity error owing to yielding was obtained by comparing the applied stress and the calculated stress derived from finite element (FE) simulation. Moreover, using the prepared FE model, the effects of various parameters, such as state of loading, ring geometry, and tangent modulus, were investigated. The results showed a maximum 30 % positive errors in the calculated residual stresses and the great impact of ring geometry on the plasticity error. Based on the results, the optimized ring diameter and depth for suitable precision were proposed.
Jet Cavitation Erosion in Chamfered and Tapered Cylindrical Passages: Comparison with Visualization and Simulation
Authors: Kazama Toshiharu , Noda Tatsuya
Published: August 2018

In hydraulic equipment, a jet cavitation occurs frequently at points wherein oil flows through an orifice and a gap that is due to a high pressure and large pressure difference. These jets typically erode equipment surfaces when the cavitation bubbles collapse. Although the erosion characteristics have been studied for cases wherein jets impinge on surfaces at normal or oblique angles, cavitation erosion has not been studied in cases wherein jets flow parallel to the wall surfaces. This study uses the method outlined in ASTM G134-17, Standard Test Method for Erosion of Solid Materials by Cavitating Liquid Jet, to perform 8-hour-long erosion tests on aluminum specimens and to visualize cavitation jets in transparent acrylic specimens. We test specimens with chamfers and tapers in different orientations and compare the results with numerical simulations to better understand the mechanisms behind cavitation erosion. The inner walls of the chamfered specimens were partially eroded near the downstream chamfered edge, regardless of the chamfer location. During the testing time, the chamfered surfaces and outer surfaces on both ends were not eroded. Erosion pits were visible locally along the convergent and straight paths in the tapered specimen, but the pits did not appear in the divergent-tapered specimen. Visualization and numerical results offer some insights into the pressure dynamics that explain why divergent tapers seem to be effective countermeasures against cavitation erosion in hydraulic equipment.
Cavitating Flow Luminescence as a Potential Source for Analytical Spectroscopy
Authors: Whitfield Claire M. F. , Foulkes Michael E. , Hywel Evans E.
Published: August 2018

Cavitating flow luminescence (CFL) has been observed for the first time at the microscale in fluid flow through a Venturi orifice. Water and mixtures of dimethyl sulfoxide and water were pumped through a Venturi orifice with a 220-μm inside diameter at flow rates between 60–100 mL min−1 to generate cavitation bubbles downstream of the Venturi restriction. Cavitation inception was observed to occur at a flow rate of 35 mL min−1 and a cavitation inception number of σi ≈ 0.83. The onset of CFL emission occurred at a flow rate of 60 mL min−1 and increased with increasing flow rate through the orifice. CFL also increased with decreasing temperature and decreasing vapor pressure of the cavitating fluid. The intensity of CFL also increased when argon was present as a dissolved gas compared to untreated fluids.

Introduction. Each year approximately 250–500 people experience spinal cord injury, most often as a result of a fall from a height or a road accident. The injured are mostly young men. The quality of life is an increasingly popular topic, which in terms of medicine is conditioned by the state of health. Research on the quality of life of people with spinal cord injury provides valuable information on the needs of people with disabilities.Aim. The aim of the study was to determine the quality of life of people after spinal cord injury.Material and Methods. The study was conducted among 30 adults after spinal cord injury from various areas of Poland. The examined group of disabled persons consisted of women and men of various ages and with each level of spinal cord injury. A survey was also conducted among 53 people who were physically fit, matched in terms of gender, age and education. The research tool applied for both groups was the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire (The World Health Organization, a shortened version of the quality of life survey), distinguishing four areas of the quality of life: somatic, psychological, social and environmental. The analysis of the results was based on: arithmetic mean, standard deviation, distribution normality study with the Shapiro–Wilk test. In order to compare particular variables, Pearson’s linear correlation coefficient was calculated. The Mann–Whitney U test was used to assess the significance of differences between the independent groups.Results. The arithmetic mean of the quality of life result in patients after spinal cord injury was 3.83±0.79, and in the control group 4.00±0.65. The average health assessment in both groups was also slightly different: in patients with spinal cord injury it was 3.4±1.1, and in those with mobility problems respectively 3.7±0.9. The average score obtained by people with spinal cord injury in the somatic field was lower than in those who were physically fit. Also, respondents with spinal cord injuries are less satisfied with the means of transport, health care centres or living conditions, compared to those in the control group.Conclusions. Summing up the results of the study, it can be said that people with spinal cord injury have a slightly lower overall subjective quality of life than those who are physically fit. Worse quality of life of people after spinal cord injury occurs particularly in the somatic and environmental fields. (JNNN 2018;7(2):64–69)

Authors: Raszka Anna , Antczak-Komoterska Anna , Filipska Karolina
Published: August 2018

Introduction. Cranial and cerebral injuries are an opened or closed brain damage coming into existence as a result of a short-lived mechanical factor affecting the skull. They constitute the most frequent cause of deaths amongst traumatic patients. In vast majority of fatal victims of injuries (70%) a cranial-cerebral injury is the cause of death. The aim of the work is to present the patient’s nursing problems after a cranial-cerebral injury as a result of a gunshot.Case Report. The description of the case refers to the patient aged 35 who suffered from cranial-cerebral injury as a result of the gunshot wound in vague circumstances. The patient was subjected to surgical treatment consisting in the removal of a foreign body from the skull in the mode of urgency. He required intensive nursery supervision and the long-term rehabilitation. This work presents the description of the case and chosen nursing problems of the patient after the gunshot wound.Discussion. Cranial-cerebral injuries are regarded to be the main cause of the mortality. The most important factor in the scale of intracranial injury is, above all, the strength of the injury. This value determines the extent of injury, prognosis, survival and recovery. However, the promptness of the given help is an important factor determining the fate of the patient. The advanced neurological deficit in the sick person after the cranial-cerebral injury requires the holistic approach to the patient and involvement the entire therapeutic team in the process of diagnosing, treatment, rehabilitation or the psychotherapy.Conclusions. The state of the patient after the gunshot wound shows shortages and nursing problems in the biological, psychical and social sphere. The actions undertaken are of highly individual nature. The care over the patient after the gunshot wound should be comprehensive, adapted for identified shortages and individual needs of the patient according to applicable standards.

Published: August 2018

Phosphorylation of myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) reflects neurite degeneration at the early stage of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), before extracellular Aβ aggregates are histologically detectable. Here, we demonstrate that similar changes in MARCKS occur in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) pathologies in both mouse models and human patients. The increase in the level of pSer46-MARCKS began before α-synuclein aggregate formation, at a time when human α-Syn-BAC-Tg/GBA-hetero-KO mice exhibited no symptoms, and was sustained during aging, consistent with the pattern in human postmortem brains. The results strongly imply a common mechanism of pre-aggregation neurite degeneration in AD and PD/DLB pathologies.
Cancer risk assessment for occupational exposure to chromium and nickel in welding fumes from pipeline construction, pressure container manufacturing, and shipyard building in Taiwan
Authors: Yang Show-Yi , Lin Jia-Ming , Lin Wan-Yu , Chang Ching-Wen
Published: August 2018

Objective

We assessed the cancer risks resulting from the exposure to chromium, hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)), oxidic nickel (Ni), and soluble Ni in welding fumes during pipeline and shipyard construction and pressure container manufacturing in Taiwan. We also determined the roles of welding performance and demographic characteristics during the exposure to Cr and Ni.

Methods

Personal air samples were collected for the analysis of Cr and Ni, and the concentrations of Cr (VI), oxidic Ni, and soluble Ni were quantified. We assessed cancer slope factors for Cr, Cr (VI), oxidic Ni, and soluble Ni, and we used the Incremental Lifetime Cancer Risk model proposed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency to calculate excess risk.

Results

The risks of exposure to Cr and Cr (VI) in welding fumes exceeded the acceptable level of occupational exposure (10-3). We ranked the excess cancer risk in three industries in decreasing order as follows: pipeline construction, shipyard construction, and pressure container manufacturing. The most sensitive parameters for the risk assessment were Cr and Ni concentrations. Statistically significant determinants of Cr (VI), oxidic Ni, and soluble Ni concentrations were the following : stainless steel as the base metal and the filler metals of shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) and of gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW).

Conclusion

The study revealed that welders belong to a high cancer-risk group. Furthermore, we demonstrated the roles of filler metals and stainless steel in exposure to Cr and Ni.

BACKGROUND:

Recruiting and retaining community-based pediatricians for teaching medical students has been explored through the lens of preceptors and educational leaders. The purpose of this study was to explore the perspective of pediatric department chairs, a key stakeholder group charged with maintaining teaching capacity among a faculty.

METHODS:

In 2015, members of the Association of Medical School Pediatric Department Chairs and Council on Medical Student Education in Pediatrics joint task force disseminated a 20-item survey to pediatric department chairs in the United States and Canada. Topics included demographics, incentives offered to community pediatricians, and the perceived value and feasibility of such incentives. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and χ2 to compare categorical variables.

RESULTS:

Pediatric department chairs from 92 of 145 (63% response rate) medical schools returned the survey. Sixty-seven percent reported difficulty recruiting or retaining preceptors, and 51% reported high-reliance on preceptors for the ambulatory portion of the pediatrics clerkship. Almost all (92%) cited competition from other programs for the services of community preceptors. The provision of incentives was correlated with perceived feasibility (R2 = 0.65) but not their perceived value (R2 = 0.12). Few (21%) chairs reported providing financial compensation to preceptors. The provision of compensation was not related to reliance but did vary significantly by geographical region (P < .001).

CONCLUSIONS:

Pediatric departments rely heavily on community-based pediatricians but face competition from internal and external training programs. The perspective of department chairs is valuable in weighing interventions to facilitate continued recruitment and retention of community preceptors.

Published: August 2018

Objetivo: investigar la adherencia farmacológica y el conocimiento de pacientes en tratamiento con anticoagulantes orales con acompañamiento en ambulatorio. Método: estudio transversal con enfoque cuantitativo. Resultados: se evaluaron 222 pacientes; de ellos el 60,8 % se clasificaron como no adherentes, y el 63,1 % poseían conocimiento inadecuado sobre la anticoagulación oral. La no adhesión estaba relacionada con un tratamiento más prolongado (p < 0,001) y con los pacientes con valores da International Normalized Ratio (inr) fuera del rango terapéutico (p = 0,022). El conocimiento no adecuado se asoció al menor nivel educativo (p < 0,001), al sedentarismo (p = 0,027), al menor tiempo de acompañamiento en ambulatorio (p < 0,001) y a los pacientes con valores de inr fuera del rango terapéutico (p = 0,012 ). Conclusión: con base en los resultados se evidencia la necesidad de estrategias de educación en salud que atiendan a ese público, teniendo en cuenta la comprensión individual y la adhesión farmacológica como algo crucial en la terapia.

Authors: Patiño-Suárez Jeyma Talía , Campos-Uscanga Yolanda
Published: August 2018

Introducción: iniciar la lactancia tempranamente es crucial para aprovechar el periodo sensitivo del recién nacido y la cascada hormonal materna inmediata al posparto, que en conjunto favorecen la continuidad de la lactancia durante el desarrollo del niño. Sin embargo, existen factores que pueden afectar la realización de la lactancia materna inmediata (LMI) con consecuencias que afectan la salud.Objetivo: determinar si existe relación entre la LMI y las características del control prenatal, del parto y de tipo socioeconómico.Material y métodos: estudio de casos y controles. Se aplicaron encuestas a mujeres con hijos entre 6 y 24 meses de edad. El muestreo fue no probabilístico. Se compararon las medias a través de la t de student, se buscaron asociaciones a través de correlación de Spearman y Odds ratio.Resultados: las semanas de gestación (SDG) tuvieron una media inferior en el grupo de mujeres que realizaron LMI (p=0,023). Las mujeres con mayores ingresos económicos realizaron menos LMI [Rho= -0.28 (p <0.05)] y a menos SDG aumenta la práctica de LMI [Rho= -0,35 (p <0,05)]. Nacer con más de 38 SDG se relaciona con menor realización de LMI [OR= 0.16 (IC 0,04-0,64)].Conclusiones: mientras que el menor ingreso económico y escolaridad de la madre se relacionan con menor práctica de LMI, cuando el parto se da antes de las 38 SDG la probabilidad aumenta.

Authors: Narvaez Mercado Berónica , Arrieta Ruiz Yeraldin , Flores Gómez Bertha
Published: August 2018

El presente artículo analiza el régimen de protección de la competencia en la legislación colombiana, puntualmente en el caso Uber, una empresa prestadora del servicio público de transporte individual de pasajeros, a través de un aplicativo tecnológico. Se desarrolló una investigación de corte cualitativo, jurídico y hermenéutica, donde se utilizaron fuentes de información secundarias para resolver el caso objeto de debate, con el objetivo de determinar el régimen de protección a la competencia, la modalidad bajo la cual opera la empresa desarrolladora del software como lo es Uber y los entes nacionales encargados de la vigilancia y control de la misma, logrando concluir que de acuerdo a la naturaleza esencial del servicio prestado, es el Estado, a través del Ministerio de Transporte y la Superintendencia de Puertos y Transportes, el ente encargado de su vigilancia y control y que Uber no incurre en ninguna competencia desleal frente al servicio tradicional de taxi, a la luz de la legislación colombiana vigente.

El derecho administrativo colombiano esta impregnado con un fuerte barniz de jurisdiccion rogada, si bien de suma importancia en el desarrollo de muchos temas, presenta grandes contradicciones en el derecho  administrativo desde el derecho constitucional colombiano. Veeremos las fuentes historicas interpretativas en la que se ha desarrollado la dialectica que se presenta entre el estado constitucional de derecho y la justicia rogada en el derecho administrativo colombiano, y como el debate entre paradigmas hermeneuticos como el Positivismo y Jusnaturalismo han sido la fuente fundamental de las apresiaciones juridicas el marco de la jurisdiccion rogada. Asi mismo, la influencia de las nuevas concepciones del derecho adminsitrativo desde una optica constitucional de la mano de principios como el iura novit curia ofrecen acercamientos hacia una justicia material efectiva en el derecho laboral administrativo.

La violencia familiar ha tomado auge en los últimos años, en teorizaciones e investigaciones, su incidencia no es tan reciente como lo es en su análisis y estudio, antes se tomaba como un conflicto del interior de la familia, era considerado una circunstancia del poder del hombre sobre la mujer. Para desarticularla se requieren de medios y factores que la pueden desestructurar como la ley y el tratamiento de carácter psicológico social y clínico criminológico. La ley es la instancia que le permite al ser humano socializarse, a través de la mediación como una herramienta de paz que auxilia a fundar un entorno pacífico, de transformación de los conflictos en ideas, fomentando el diálogo, la empatía, la solidaridad, la no-violencia, la comprensión, la integración, la creatividad, la participación y el consenso, generando reconstrucción de masculinidad.

Ideology critique as decolonising pedagogy: Urban forced removals as a case study
Authors: Davids M.Noor
Published: August 2018

After emerging from its troubled past, postapartheid South Africa adopted a democratic constitution and cosmopolitanism as path to a peaceful future. Cosmopolitanism, once a vibrant tradition at the turn of the 19th century, disappeared from the apartheid historical canon and memory due to the colonial practice of forced removals. The apartheid fallacy that forced removals were necessary because of urban slum conditions and public health reasons obscured its ideological and economic reasons. Apartheid narratives and traumatic memories of forced removals continue in the postapartheid era and mitigate against the establishment of a nonracial, cosmopolitan society. Notwithstanding the dominance of negative memories, a productive, decolonised version of forced removals can make a positive contribution to social cohesion. This paper offers a multiple historical case study of three pre-apartheid cosmopolitan spaces that were destroyed by the Group Areas Act as framework to suggest how ideology critique can be employed as a decolonising pedagogy. A critical notion of cosmopolitanism is appropriated, using the notion of production of space to explain the role of political and social engineering in the making of place during the colonial-apartheid period. Recommendations suggest how to integrate cosmopolitanism, segregation, and forced removals with ideology critique as decolonising pedagogy in teacher education curriculum spaces.
Transformative praxis through critical consciousness: A conceptual exploration of a decolonial access with success agenda
Authors: Maseko P.B.N.
Published: August 2018

This paper is a conceptual exploration of a decolonial perspective towards the notion of access with success. Attention is drawn to the significance of students' schooling backgrounds in the perpetuation of inequity that accrues from coloniality. Decoloniality is factored into teacher identity formation and professional development in the interests of the attainment of ontological density with specific reference to the black preservice teacher cohort. The view presented here is that colonial cultural capital in social justice has ramifications for access with success. A counterstrategy in the interests of the decolonial turn is the development of a professional identity where a culture of critical consciousness yields attributes that are indicative of, and consistent with, emergent transformative praxis. The overarching theoretical explorative tool of this discussion is couched within the transformative paradigm. This tool is used to draw attention to a critical decolonial social justice agenda that conceives of the university as a site for the inculcation of organised and multidimensional critical change agency. The attendant view is that preservice teachers' role as change agents is actualised through transformative praxis that is informed by critical consciousness. In this discussion, the decolonial strategy of breaking the cycle that is informed by mentalities of coloniality is poised to play a pivotal role in the attainment of the cohort's epistemic reflectivity and ontological density in the interests of social transformation.
Determination of base and shaft resistance factors for reliability-based design of piles
Authors: Bian X , Chen X , Lu H , Zheng J
Published: August 2018

This paper aims to propose a procedure for calculating separately the resistance factors for ultimate base and shaft resistances for the reliability-based design of piles. The proposed procedure can clearly explain the different sources of uncertainties of the bearing capacity, including those from ultimate base and shaft resistances. The study evaluates the convergence of the proposed procedure, and the effects of relevant parameters on resistance factors. Finally, two examples are used for comparison and application of the presented method for determining ultimate base and shaft resistance factors. Convergence analysis proves that the final resistance factors can be rapidly obtained, and maintain good stability using the iteration algorithm included in the proposed procedure. A parametric study indicates that the ratio of dead load to live load and initial values of the ultimate shaft (or base) resistance factor, have a limited effect on the final convergence values of ultimate shaft (and base) resistance factors. However, the target reliability index has significant influence on the ultimate shaft and base resistance factors. The validation example shows that the ultimate shaft and base resistance factors, as calculated in this paper, are conservative compared to the results by Kim et al (2011), due to the consideration of more uncertainties. The recommended ultimate shaft and base resistance factors for the reliability-based design of piles can be obtained conveniently using the proposed procedure in the application example.
