Published: January 2018

Diagnostic and interventional radiology (IR) techniques have recently shown significant efficacy in trauma care when combined with surgical procedures. A multifaceted approach to traffic accidents has reduced the number of trauma patients in Japan, which has necessitated simulation education to provide practical experience and ensure proficiency. The objective of this paper is to report the educational development of endovascular and hybrid workshops in Japan. The Japanese Society of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology in Emergency, Critical care, and Trauma (DIRECT) was established in 2011 to maximize the benefit of diagnostic and IR in emergency or trauma settings. DIRECT conducts trauma endovascular workshops for emergency medicine physicians, acute care surgeons, and IR physicians. From July 2011 to June 2016, DIRECT has conducted 14 simulator workshops, six endovascular workshops using a porcine model, and four hybrid trauma management workshops, of which two were conducted with porcine models. The simulation workshop was designed for novice learners and included resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) deployment using a pressurized silicone model, catheter and guidewire manipulation with a three-dimensional (3D) vessel silicone model and virtual fluoroscopic simulator, and metallic coil deployment. Porcine simulations for intermediate-level physicians were conducted and endovascular tools included different occlusion materials. In the hybrid strategy model, by using a porcine model of injury, the participants combined both surgical and endovascular procedures such as REBOA, selective balloon occlusion, and N-butyl cyanoacrylate embolization. DIRECT is a vital bridge between emergency/trauma and IR, and workshops are essential for improved trauma care.
ДИАЛЕКТИКА СТОИМОСТИ, РЫНОЧНОЙ ЦЕНЫ В ИССЛЕДОВАНИИ МАРКСИЗМА
Authors: Гасанов Тофик Атабабаевич , Гасанов Гасан Атабабаевич
Published: January 2018

Цель работы. В статье рассматриваются категории стоимости, рыночной цены в условиях капитализма. Метод или методология проведения работы. С помощью различных методов проведен анализ стоимости, рыночной цены. Результаты. В процессе исследования были выявлены основные методологические подходы к стоимости, рыночной цене, а также различные формы стоимости и их влияние на общественное производство в условиях капитализма. В результате использования диалектического метода познания были рассмотрены исторические процессы развития форм стоимости, которые привели к возникновению денежной формы стоимости. Показано развитие простых форм, которые не исчезают, а становятся элементами сложных понятий, определений. Так, товар, деньги становятся составными частями всеобщей формулы капитала с её противоречиями. Затем исследование переносится на уровень общественного производства, где раскрывается механизм простого и расширенного воспроизводства и условия их реализации. Приводятся обоснования существования абсолютной земельной ренты на основе учения о стоимости и цене производства (рыночной цены), а также механизм её образования в условиях монополии частной собственности на землю. Раскрывается механизм противоречия между трудом и капиталом, который становится законом капиталистического накопления. Раскрывается механизм исследования с помощью индукции и дедукции, исторического и логического, восхождением от простого к сложному. Тщательно анализируется так называемое противоречие между первым и третьим томами «Капитала» на основе диалектики единичного и общего. Обращается внимание на тот факт, что только экономического рассмотрения процессов исследования явно недостаточно, необходимо понять философию изложения марксизма. Область применения результатов. Результаты проведённого исследования могут быть использованы в преподавании «Истории экономических учений» для исследователей-экономистов, аспирантов и студентов. Выводы. Делается вывод о том, что марксизм достаточно глубоко исследовал диалектику стоимости, используя при этом разнообразные методы познания, и останется в истории экономической науки как одна из самых стройных и последовательных систем изложения экономических процессов.
Institutionalization of Religion in Schools to Intercultural Education
Authors: Casey Erin , Kudeva Rumyana , Rousson Ashley
Published: January 2018

Education is closely associated with religion. Education is the doctrine of morals and intelligence of the mind and religion is belief in God with the teachings of worship and obligations. Religion prepares a comprehensive norm that underlies life educational purposes. Educational institutions have played their significant part in the production and reproduction of European warfare. Nationalist curricula in history, national language and literature, social sciences and religion typify many school systems. Educational institutions are theoretically the opposition to those of religion: critical exegesis of all texts and the subjection of all theories to rigorous attempts at falsification are the commonplace expectations of educational institutions. All too often, however, religious organizations are actually in charge of schools and even universities. Of course state sponsored educational systems have other objectives, which take precedence over the pursuit of knowledge, in particular social control and nation building. It is in these two areas that the alliance between church and state in the control of the reproduction of knowledge is at its most symbiotic. Schools and universities, ostensibly the key intuitions of modernization and modernity, are in actuality one of the main sites for the production and reproduction of religion.

Background: The paper reports the use of knowledge acquisition tools and reading knowledge sources by faculty members. It also identifies demographic differ-ences among participants in using knowledge acquisition tools and reading knowledge sources.

Methodology: The study used an online survey-based questionnaire tool for data collection. The participants consisted of 300 faculty members from 26 academic institu-tions in UAE. Statistical tests are used to verify and validate the hypotheses.

Contribution: The paper represents one of the few empirical studies conducted on knowledge acquisition among faculty members in the GCC countries. Find-ings of the study may contribute to the theoretical and practical understanding of knowledge acquisition among faculty members.

Findings: Findings of the study revealed that medical faculty members read knowledge acquisition sources more than other faculty members. Likewise, IT faculty members use knowledge acquisition tools more than other faculty members. Results of the study supported stage three of knowledge acquisition proposed in the “Stage Theory of Knowledge Consumption Growth” (Mathew, 1985). The study found that journals are the most sources read by the participants while web-based training (WBT) tools are the most used knowledge acquisition tools among faculty members. Results of the study indicated significant differ-ences among faculty members of different age groups, academic ranks, aca-demic specializations, and institutional affiliation in reading knowledge sources. Likewise, findings of the study revealed significant difference among partici-pants of different academic specializations in using knowledge acquisition tools.

Recommendations for Practitioners: Results of the study could be extrapolated to other faculty members in the GCC countries.

Recommendation for Researchers: More researches could be done to address different issues of knowledge acquisition among faculty members.

Impact on Society: Faculty reading of knowledge sources and use of knowledge acquisition tools may have direct or indirect positive impacts on innovation, creativity, and re-search productivity in any society.

Future Research: It will be interesting to apply more than one data collection method in the future research.

The Reconstruction of Islamic Education in Indonesia Through Maqa?id Shari�ah of Jaseer Auda
Authors: Naupal Naupal
Published: January 2018

Islamic education in Indonesia has a long history and started around the 13th century, but it faces many challenges. The first of challenge is the existence of logocentrism and the second of the challenge is the school of centrism (mazdhab-centrism). Logocentrism and school of centrism (mazdhab-centrism) in Islamic education has caused the rise of ghulat community and radicalism in Indonesia. For this reason, Islamic education as an implementation of maqa?id shari�ah should be reconstructed. Islamic education systems have to change its strategy and operational method. It has to be open and inclusive to foreign resources of school environment as stated by Auda in maqa?id shari�ah. By implementing the thought of Auda�s maqa?id shari�ah in the Islamic education in Indonesia, it is expected that the competent, broad-minded, humanistic, tolerant, and democratic Muslim communities can be realized. Besides that, the reconstruction of Islamic education can give information to the society that Islam is not as rigid as radicalism claims, but Islam provides a lot of alternatives in solving the present problems.

An Optimal Online Resource Allocation Algorithm for Energy Harvesting Body Area Networks
Authors: Wu Guangyuan , Chen Zhigang , Guo Lin , Wu Jia
Published: January 2018

In Body Area Networks (BANs), how to achieve energy management to extend the lifetime of the body area networks system is one of the most critical problems. In this paper, we design a body area network system powered by renewable energy, in which the sensors carried by patient with energy harvesting module can transmit data to a personal device. We do not require any a priori knowledge of the stochastic nature of energy harvesting and energy consumption. We formulate a user utility optimization problem. We use Lyapunov Optimization techniques to decompose the problem into three sub-problems, i.e., battery management, collecting rate control and transmission power allocation. We propose an online resource allocation algorithm to achieve two major goals: (1) balancing sensors’ energy harvesting and energy consumption while stabilizing the BANs system; and (2) maximizing the user utility.

Staphylococcus aureus is a major agent of nosocomial infections. Especially in methicillin-resistant strains, conventional treatment options are limited and expensive, which has fueled a growing interest in phage therapy approaches. We have tested the susceptibility of 207 clinical S. aureus strains to 12 (nine monovalent) different therapeutic phage preparations and subsequently employed linear regression models to estimate the influence of individual host gene families on resistance to phages. Specifically, we used a two-step regression model setup with a preselection step based on gene family enrichment. We show that our models are robust and capture the data’s underlying signal by comparing their performance to that of models build on randomized data. In doing so, we have identified 167 gene families that govern phage resistance in our strain set and performed functional analysis on them. This revealed genes of possible prophage or mobile genetic element origin, along with genes involved in restriction-modification and transcription regulators, though the majority were genes of unknown function. This study is a step in the direction of understanding the intricate host-phage relationship in this important pathogen with the outlook to targeted phage therapy applications.

Many organic sulfur, selenium and tellurium compounds show considerable activity against microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi. This pronounced activity is often due to the specific, oxidizing redox behavior of the chalcogen-chalcogen bond present in such molecules. Interestingly, similar chalcogen-chalcogen motifs are also found in the elemental forms of these elements, and while those materials are insoluble in aqueous media, it has recently been possible to unlock their biological activities using naturally produced or homogenized suspensions of respective chalcogen nanoparticles. Those suspensions can be employed readily and often effectively against common pathogenic microorganisms, still their practical uses are limited as such suspensions are difficult to transport, store and apply. Using mannitol as stabilizer, it is now possible to lyophilize such suspensions to produce solid forms of the nanoparticles, which upon resuspension in water essentially retain their initial size and exhibit considerable biological activity. The sequence of Nanosizing, Lyophilization and Resuspension (NaLyRe) eventually provides access to a range of lyophilized materials which may be considered as easy-to-handle, ready-to-use and at the same time as bioavailable, active forms of otherwise insoluble or sparingly substances. In the case of elemental sulfur, selenium and tellurium, this approach promises wider practical applications, for instance in the medical or agricultural arena.

Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G), the predominant anthocyanin in haskap berries (Lonicera caerulea L.), possesses antioxidant and many other biological activities. This study investigated the impact of temperature and pH on the degradation of the C3G-rich haskap fraction. The effect of the thermal degradation products on the viability of hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 and breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells was also studied in vitro. Using column chromatography, the C3G-rich fraction was isolated from acetone extracts of haskap berries. The C3G stability in these fractions was studied under elevated temperatures (70 °C and 90 °C) at three different pH values (2.5, 4, and 7) by monitoring the concentration of C3G and its major degradation products, protocatechuic acid (PCA) and phloroglucinaldehyde (PGA), using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. Significant degradation of C3G was observed at elevated temperatures and at neutral pH. Conversely, the PCA and PGA concentration increased at higher pH and temperature. Similar to C3G, neutral pH also has a prominent effect on the degradation of PGA, which is further accelerated by heating. The C3G-rich fraction exhibited dose-dependent inhibitory effects on cell metabolic activity when the HepG2 cells were exposed for 48 h. Interestingly, PGA but not PCA exhibited cytotoxic effects against both MDA-MB-231 and HepG2 cells. The results suggest that thermal food processing of haskap could influence its biological properties due to the degradation of C3G.
Energy Management Strategy for a Hybrid Electric Vehicle Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning

An energy management strategy (EMS) is important for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) since it plays a decisive role on the performance of the vehicle. However, the variation of future driving conditions deeply influences the effectiveness of the EMS. Most existing EMS methods simply follow predefined rules that are not adaptive to different driving conditions online. Therefore, it is useful that the EMS can learn from the environment or driving cycle. In this paper, a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based EMS is designed such that it can learn to select actions directly from the states without any prediction or predefined rules. Furthermore, a DRL-based online learning architecture is presented. It is significant for applying the DRL algorithm in HEV energy management under different driving conditions. Simulation experiments have been conducted using MATLAB and Advanced Vehicle Simulator (ADVISOR) co-simulation. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the DRL-based EMS compared with the rule-based EMS in terms of fuel economy. The online learning architecture is also proved to be effective. The proposed method ensures the optimality, as well as real-time applicability, in HEVs.
Experimental Study on Punching Performance of Recycled Aggregate Concrete Thin Wallboard with Single-Layer Reinforcement

Published: January 2018

Recycle Aggregate Concrete (RAC) is a common “green” product used for a variety of purposes, although the durability and strength of the material still need more research to adequately determine influences on these parameters. The failure pattern, punching bearing capacity, and deflection variation of wallboard of both ordinary concrete and RAC with various rebar reinforcement diameters and spacing were analyzed. Based on experimental data, the ABAQUS finite element analysis of the thin wallboard was performed, and the calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental results. The results show that the failure characteristics of ordinary concrete wallboards and RAC wallboards are similar, but the brittleness of the RAC specimens is more significant. Under the same reinforcement ratio, concrete material, whether new or recycled, had little effect on the punching bearing capacity of the specimens. In the case of a low reinforcement ratio, increasing the reinforcement ratio (decreasing the spacing of steel bars) can effectively improve the bearing capacity of the wallboard. Under the same reinforcement ratio, the wallboard with larger diameter and larger spacing has a higher bearing capacity and less deformation after failure.
Monitoring Damage Using Acoustic Emission Source Location and Computational Geometry in Reinforced Concrete Beams

Non-destructive testing in reinforced concrete (RC) for damage detection is still limited to date. In monitoring the damage in RC, 18 beam specimens with varying water cement ratios and reinforcements were casted and tested using a four-point bending test. Repeated step loads were designed and at each step load acoustic emission (AE) signals were recorded and processed to obtain the acoustic emission source location (AESL). Computational geometry using a convex hull algorithm was used to determine the maximum volume formed by the AESL inside the concrete beam in relation to the load applied. The convex hull volume (CHV) showed good relation to the damage encountered until 60% of the ultimate load at the midspan was reached, where compression in the concrete occurred. The changes in CHV from 20 to 40% and 20 to 60% load were five and 13 times from CHV of 20% load for all beams, respectively. This indicated that the analysis in three dimensions using CHV was sensitive to damage. In addition, a high water-cement ratio exhibited higher CHV formation compared to a lower water-cement ratio due to its ductility where the movement of AESL becomes wider.

This paper presents the outcome of a comprehensive experimental program undertaken to study the performance of cellulose pulp and synthetic PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) based fiber-cement composite under both carbonated and non-carbonated curing conditions at early age. The composites were produced at different rolling pressures (2.5 to 9.0 bar) and subjected to various curing conditions in which the effects of CO2 pressure (1 to 3 bar) and curing time (3 to 9 h) were studied. The mechanical properties (modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), and toughness), as well as the physical properties (porosity, bulk density, and water absorption), were measured for all samples. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to investigate the effect of carbonation on porosity change and adhesion of fiber-matrix. A parametric investigation of the effects of the carbonation curing period, CO2 pressure, and rolling pressure on the improvement of the physical and mechanical properties during carbonation curing was performed. Results showed that fiber-cement composites cured with an elevated CO2 pressure of 3 bar, rolling pressure of 3 bar, and 5 h of curing time provided optimal curing conditions resulting in the most desirable mechanical and physical properties. However, toughness was greatly reduced with the increase of the CO2 pressure, curing time, and rolling pressure. Additionally, the carbonation curing improved the bonding between the fiber and the cement matrix because of the precipitation of calcite particularly in the pores of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between the cement matrix and the fibers.
