Published: May 2017

A study by UNICEF in Indonesia find that the number of early marriage for 15 years old is 11% and 18 years is 35%. Generally, early marriage is more common in women than men, it’s approximately 5% of boys get married before they are 19 years old. The purpose of this study was to determine factors relating to early marriage in women and the most significant factor relating to early marriage. The study used observational quantitative study with case-control study design. The population of the study was 132 married women, samples were selected by using total sampling technique with the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The respondents of this study were 53 women. Data were analysis by chi square test and logistic regression. The results of chi-square test showed variables that had relationship with early marriage were respondents' education (p=0.035), respondents’ income (p=0.000), and sexual pre marriage (p=0.006) whereas variables that did not have relationship with early marriage are father's education (p=0.436), mother’s education (p=0.290), parents’ income (p=0.356) and respondents’ religiosity (p=0.489). The result of logistic regression analysis showed that respondents’ income was the most dominant factor affecting early marriage in women. Conclusion the most significant factor related to early marriage was respondents’ income.
Вільне вигодовування немовлят: проблеми і наслідки у дітей раннього віку
Authors: Duka K.D. , Mishyna N.V. , Yefanova A.A. , Duka I.G.
Published: May 2017

Актуальність. Всесвітня організація охорони здоров’я та ЮНІСЕФ у п. 8 Декларації рекомендують «заохочувати грудне вигодовування за вимогою дитини». Це рекомендація для кожного закладу, що надає родопомічні послуги і здійснює нагляд за новонародженими. Але після 5–6 місяців годування дитини за вимогою ніяк не може бути декларованим. У процесі зросту формуються всі органи і системи організму дитини. І те, що було закономірним в періоді новонародженості, не може бути застосовано до режиму вигодовування дитини після 2–3-місячного віку. Існують особливі потреби організму дитини щодо годування, подовженості сну, скорочується час денного сну, час неспання. Тому вільне вигодовування за вимогою дитини нерідко призводить до казуїстичних випадків, коли 3–4-місячна дитина одержує грудне годування до 8–9 разів на добу за вимогою, а однорічна дитина, яка довго була на вільному грудному вигодовуванні (більше 6 місяців) відмовляється від будь-якої іншої їжі, окрім грудного молока. Мета дослідження: уточнити ситуацію щодо вільного, за вимогою, грудного вигодовування дітей на першому році життя за даними анкетування. Матеріали та методи. Проведено аналіз анкет опитування у матерів дітей першого року життя різних районів міста Дніпра (n = 248 анкет). Результати. За результатами анкетування вільне вигодовування до 6-місячного віку було у 48 % випадків, більше 6 місяців — у 29,6 % випадків, до 1 одного року і більше — у 18,4 %. Заслуговує на увагу існуюче на сьогодні досить пізнє (7 місяців і більше) введення прикормів у дітей на вільному грудному вигодовуванні. Нерідко це перетворюється на хаотичне вигодовування без урахування основних вікових анатомо-фізіологічних особливостей органів шлунково-кишкового тракту, що диктує відповідні правила щодо введення прикормів. Висновки. Проведене дослідження щодо стану вільного грудного вигодовування у дітей на першому році життя показало проблеми і наслідки, що його супроводжують, а саме: пізнє введення прикормів дітям на вільному грудному вигодовуванні, хаотичне вигодовування без урахування основних вікових потреб дитини.

Гемостазіологічні порушення та протизапальна терапія у хворих на гострий панкреатит
Authors: Pidhirny B.Ya.
Published: May 2017

У статті подано результати лікування 98 хворих на гострий панкреатит (ГП) середньої тяжкості. Хворі були розподілені на 2 групи: у 35 хворих (основна група) на ГП середньої тяжкості в комплексі лікування використовували еноксапарин у дозі 0,5 мг/кг підшкірно 1 раз на добу протягом 12–14 діб. Порівнювали результати лікування пацієнтів із ГП і хворих, які отримували подібне лікування, але без еноксапарину (63 хворі — група порівняння). Групи були тотожними за вихідними параметрами при надходженні до лікарні. Застосування еноксапарину у хворих на ГП середньої тяжкості сприяло покращенню показників гемостазу і мало протизапальний ефект.
Півкульні особливості впливу Медотиліну та резонансної магнітно-квантової терапії на біоелектричну активність головного мозку пацієнтів, які перенесли гострі порушення мозкового кровообігу
Authors: Teshchuk V.Y. , Teshchuk N.V.
Published: May 2017

У статті подані результати комплексного аналізу впливу курсового комплексного застосування Медотиліну та резонансної магнітно-квантової терапії (РМКТ) на біоелектричну активність головного мозку (БАГМ) у 43 пацієнтів, які перенесли гостре порушення мозкового кровообігу (ГПМК) за ішемічним типом (ІТ) у відновному періоді. Пацієнти отримували сеанси РМКТ у комплексі з внутрішньом’язовим застосуванням Медотиліну (4,0 – 1000 мг в/м 1 раз на добу протягом 30 діб). Встановлено, що в пацієнтів даної (основної) групи порівняно з хворими групи плацебо, які отримували традиційне медикаментозне лікування ГПМК, курсове застосування запропонованого нами комплексного методу лікування справляло додатковий коригуючий вплив на БАГМ. Структура реорганізації БАГМ під впливом запропонованого нами методу лікування ГПМК має півкульні особливості. Позитивний вплив Медотиліну в комплексі з РМКТ за багаторівневою методикою на БАГМ у пацієнтів з ГПМК за ІТ дає підставу рекомендувати включення даного методу в комплексну систему реабілітації даної групи пацієнтів.
Результати застосування pентгенендоваскулярного гемостазу бронхіальних артерій у хворих із легеневими кровотечами
Authors: Ponomariova Ye.V.
Published: May 2017

Актуальність. Питання лікування легеневих кровотеч із застосуванням ендоваскулярного гемостазу бронхіальних артерій у хворих із легеневими кровотечами залишаються предметом активного обговорення і великої кількості публікацій у медицині. Це ускладнення спостерігається в 7–14 % хворих із різними захворюваннями легенів, які надходять у торакальне відділення. Мета дослідження — вивчення ефективності та доцільності використання рентгенендоваскулярних методів лікування у хворих із легеневими кровотечами. Матеріали та методи. За період 2012–2016 рр. у ДУ «Інститут загальної та невідкладної хірургії імені В.Т. Зайцева НАМНУ» рентгенендоваскулярна емболізація бронхіальних артерій виконана 27 хворим із легеневими кровотечами. Вік хворих становив від 29 до 67 років, із них жінок було 17, чоловіків — 10. Значної різниці між чоловіками і жінками не виявлено. Рентгенендоваскулярну емболізацію бронхіальних артерій виконували з використанням ангіографічного комплексу на апараті Tridoros Optimatic 1000 фірми Siemens (Німеччина) і Integris Allura 12 C фірми Phillips (Голландія). Результати. У результаті комплексного обстеження хворих із легеневими кровотечами встановлено, що у 12 хворих (44,4 %) легенева кровотеча обумовлена хронічним обструктивним бронхітом, у 7 (25,9 %) було хронічне обструктивне захворювання легень, у 5 (18,5 %) хворих була виявлена бронхоектатична хвороба, у 2 (7,4 %) — негоспітальна пневмонія, у 1 (3,7 %) хворого — центральний рак легені. Високу ефективність застосування рентгенендоваскулярної оклюзії при легеневих кровотечах різної етіології відзначили більшість авторів. Рецидив кровотечі у віддаленому періоді після рентгенендоваскулярної оклюзії виник у 2 (6 %) неоперабельних хворих із центральним раком легені. Висновки. Ендоваскулярна оклюзія має високу ефективність у вирішенні проблеми зупинки легеневих кровотеч, дозволяє: уточнити діагноз з огляду на наявність специфічних ангіографічних ознак злоякісного ураження; провести ефективний ендоваскулярний гемостаз; виграти час для стабілізації пацієнта з метою планового оперативного лікування.

Published: May 2017

Aim:
Our study aimed at estimating differences in quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gain for patients with predominant negative symptoms of schizophrenia treated with cariprazine compared with risperidone.
Materials & methods:
A Markov model was built, based on the Mohr–Lenert approach and data derived from clinical trials, to estimate potential QALY gains of patients.
Results:
Patients had higher probability of reaching better health states treated with cariprazine compared with risperidone. In the model, this resulted in an estimated QALY gain of 0.029 per patient, after 1 year of treatment.
Conclusion:
Cariprazine, which showed clinically meaningful improvement in the symptoms, and personal and social performance, can also provide significant QALY gain in the treatment of patients with predominant negative symptoms of schizophrenia compared with risperidone.

National Perspective and News Bias: A Comparison of National News Broadcasts
Authors: Kline Stephen
Published: May 2017

Among the various debates that have emerged concerning the roles and influences of mass communication in western societies, one of the most persistently contentious is about the place of journalism in a modern democracy. Although there is general agreement that an impartial and free press is fundamental to a democratic society, there remain widely differing opinions about the institutional structures that can best maintain freedom of expression, particularly in the face of rapidly changing technologies for communication. Both the power that have accrued to media institutions and the increasingly vital part that information distribution plays in most social processes have regularly brought journalistic practice to the foreground of social policy discussions. With the growing documentation of television's usurpation of the use and credibility of other news media, the part played by television news in helping to shape the public's image of reality plays a central part in this controversy.
Who Owns the Media? Concentration of Ownership in the Mass Communications Industry
Authors: Clarke Debora
Published: May 2017

One is instantly wary of a book about media ownership that opens with a reference to the First Amendment and a declaration that 'anyone has the opportunity to enter some segment of the industry, limited only by ingenuity, management skill, and the ability to raise a minimum amount of capital'(9). So begins this unmistakably American account of ownership concentration in the U.S. media industry.
Communication And Knowledge In Canadian Communication Theory: The Context Of The University And The Academy
Authors: Theall Donald F.
Published: May 2017

The University occupies a much more central role as a communication institution than many scholars have realized. History of communication, if it goes back beyond the introduction of electric technology, necessarily is intricately involved with the university and its importance in the development and distribution of knowledge. In fact, the major problem for the university and for communication theory has become the way to integrate a communicative-interpretive basis for the study of communication with the social, historic and biological aspects of communication. While such a reflection on education and communication appears in the work of communication theorists in diverse places and at diverse points in history, Canadian communication theory has been strongly preoccupied with and influenced by the university. This fact has been overlooked owing to the rather simplistic tension between the university and producers of communication that developed under the influence of the mass media, though even in that sphere the role of the professor as communicator has usually been disregarded.
Some Reflections On The Theoretical Discourse On Communications In Quebec and Canada
Authors: Tremblay Gaetan
Published: May 2017

I have been, and remain, very put off by the title of this session. In the first place, it is difficult to translate with exactitude into French. It seems to me that, if it had been conceived in French, it would have been formulated more in terms of epistemology or the theory of knowledge. My problem, however, is not simply one of translation: the subject in itself is a difficult one. And one must have been naive or ambitious to have agreed to tackle it. I could have approached it modestly, by dealing with the contribution of one author or one specific theory to the study of communications. But no. In order to make life more complicated, I tried to look at the topic in its entirety. To do so would have required that I undertake to read everything on communications published in Canada and Quebec. Obviously, I have not done so. My familiarity with the work of English Canadians is very narrow: it is limited to Innis, McLuhan and the work of a few colleagues in Ontario, British Columbia and Montreal. The work of Innis and of McLuhan is certainly highly original. Innis is, unfortunately, little known among Francophones, while McLuhan enjoys an international reputation. I will leave it to my colleagues to evaluate their contribution and importance.

Communication Teaching: Labour in Silence and Critique. Introduction to the Special Issue
Authors: Tate Eugene D.
Published: May 2017

This special issue is the result of a year long process of discussion and consultation among menbers of the Canadian Communication Association. It began with the observation that most of us are in academic employ and thus work in teaching. While the activity of teaching is the practice we most comnonly engage in, we rarely ever discuss it -- at least not in public and within the institutional setting of the annual conference; nor do we devote much space in our two Canadian journals to it. Our conferences and publications are almst entirely occupied by reports about our other shared activity-- research. The absence of discussion, debate and exchanges makes teaching a practice performed in silence.
Teaching Critical Media Analysis
Authors: Straw Will
Published: May 2017

As the term circulates in current debates within Communication Studies, "critical" may be seen to designate two broad bodies of work. In its most literal and archaic sense, "critical" describes an oppositional stance taken toward dominant communications structures and processes (and the discourses underlying these). In discussions of new communications technologies, wherein this usage is perhaps most common, a "critical" approach is one preoccupied with the social and political effects of such technologies.
Prolegomena for the Critical Study of Popular Music
Authors: Shepherd John C.
Published: May 2017

Among the areas that could or should be studied from the perspective of critical communication, popular music is among those that have received the least attention. As Taylor and Laing have remarked: "popular music remains poor relation in cultural theory, usually being tagged onto a list in which film or television takes pride of place." A reason for this neglect, Taylor and Laing continue, "is its lack of status.. .which has the effect that rock is usually studied or taught in odd corners of the curriculum ... In addition, music as such poses great problems in the determination of meaning and signification" (Taylor and Laing, 1979, 43).
Critical Teaching in a Basic Course on the Study of Mass Communication
Authors: Gilsdorf William O.
Published: May 2017

This article flows from my twenty four years of teaching communication theory and practice. More specifically it is a result of the analysis and rethinking of one of our department's more basic courses: Mass Communication 360. Preparing this article has been a valuable exercise since it has forced me to think about my definition of critical teaching/learning, to make explicit some of my basic assumptions about this course, and it has pushed me to evaluate the course in terms of my expectations. This paper will essentially follow this train of thought, with an additional section describing in summary detail the activities and relevant assignments in the course. Thus, after defining critical teaching I intend to share basic assumptions, describe the course, and then critically assess it.

The Nation in the Schools: Wanted A Canadian Education
Authors: Young Wanda
Published: May 2017

Rowland Lorimer stresses the need to include Canadian content in the curricula for elementary and secondary (but he would not object to adding university level and non-formal education) materials used in formal schooling, and in courses taken by teachers-to-be. Lorimer is committed to the need to develop the Canadian culture and has carried out his commitment in this study, which was undertaken at the Canadian Learning Materials Centre at Dalhousie University during a sabbatical and also in a regular column in the publication of the Association of Canadian Studies.
Women Against Censorship
Authors: Mainprize Steve
Published: May 2017

This book is a collection of papers by (mostly) Canadian feminists, whose aim is to provide a critique of feminist 'anti-pornography theory' (Snitow) and then indicate what actions this implies for feminists. The contributors are unanimous in the view that "difficulties and contradictions notwithstanding, for women freedom lies not in accepting censorship, but in repudiating it" (Burstyn, Introduction). In light of the critique of feminist anti-pornography theory the authors advocate how feminists (and men who support them) ought to proceed in dealing with the thorny issue of pornography -- an issue Callwood sees as having produced a schism within the feminist movement. The contributors (fourteen in all) are lawyers, academics, filmmakers , writers/journalists, and artists.
Press Reporting on El Salvador and Nicaragua in Leading Canadian and American Newspapers
Authors: Soderlund Walter C.
Published: May 2017

Literature dealing with western news coverage of the Third World points to an unevenness in that coverage. Events that are sensational or violent, especially if they impact on the West, are those most likely to find their way into news reports (Markham, 1961; Hester, 74). This article, based on a study of news coverage of Central America in the fall of 1983, substantiates this generalization, as one hundred and fifty - six out of a total of two hundred and fourteen items dealing with the entire region in four leading Canadian and American newspapers (72.9%), focused on the violence torn countries of El Salvador and Nicaragua. With respect to the remaining items, twelve percent focused on the region in general (often in terms of the implications of the violence in El Salvador and Nicaragua), while only seven percent dealt with Guatemala, 3.7% with Honduras, 3.3% with Costa Rica, and 0.6% with Panama. If violence, both external and internal, is the magnet which attracts western press attention to countries of the Third World, we have little difficulty in locating the primary sites of that violence within the Central American isthmus.

La révolution technologique amorçée depuis quelques années et son impact potentiel aux plans économique, social et culture1 est sans doute l'une des questions les plus préoccupantes qui soit posée à la société contemporaine. L'étude des innovations passées nous enseigne en effet qu'elles ne peuvent connaître de succès que dans la mesure où elles parviennent à s'intégrer sans trop de heurts aux conditions sociales qu'elles viennent transformer, et qui la modifient en retour. Afin de pouvoir mieux cerner des phénomènes d'une telle complexité, il s'avère essentiel d'examiner d'abord l e processus par lequel l'innovation technologique pénètre les diff6rentes sphères de l'activité humaine et la façon dont les usagers la redéfinissent en l'adaptant à leurs besoins.

We believe that this does require some minimal comment simply to point out where he is in error concerning Rosenstock-Huessy.
The Metaphor of Dependency and Canadian Communications: The Legacy of Harold Innis
Authors: Collins Richard
Published: May 2017

It is with some sense of lese-majeste and presumption that I a citizen of one of the old dominant metropoles, offer this critical engagement with Innis and his legacy to thinking about communications in Canada. I hope that my perspective as an outsider may be judged, in this instance, enabling rather than disabling . In constructing my own set of theoretical earthworks from behind which I can begin my sapping of the Innis redoubt I want to profit form the work of other outsiders to the Anglophone Canadian tradition. Gaetan Tremblay's skirmish with Innis in his review of the Melody, Salter, Heyer collection of 1981, Culture Communication and Dependency. The tradition of H. A. Innis in which he states of the collection: "L'ouverage, est trop exclusivement Canadien."

This book is very aptly named, for it was Alan Plaunt, more than any other individual, who set the philosophical and organizational foundations of the CBC and its progenitor, the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission.
The Media Revolution in America and Western Europe
Authors: Robinson Gertrude J.
Published: May 2017

This wide-ranging and informative volume has two purposes, according to its editors, (Intro XI). They are: To familiarize North American communication researchers with European work; and to further the intellectual merger of empirical and critical approaches to communication studies. While these are admirable goals, the volume contributes to the former, but it not as convincing in championing the latter. It seems safer to assume with Steven Chaffee and John Hochheimer that "empirical research findings need to be interpreted in the context of the historical time and place in which the data were gathered," (290). and these social contexts remain vastly different in Canada, the United States and Europe.

Members of the Federal Task Force on Broadcasting Policy also participated in sessions on four major issues: the application of emerging technologies to meet national and regional needs; possibilities for restructuring regulatory and other incentives within the broadcast system; changes in regional and local television programming policies; and provisions for radio and television programming in languages other than Canada's two official languages.
Control of Telephones: The Canadian Experience
Authors: Babe Robert E.
Published: May 2017

In popular literature on new media (Toffler, 1981; Naisbitt, 1984), in academic literature on the Information Revolution (Bell, 1979; Porat, 1978; Irwin, 1984), and most significantly in policy documents from the Government of Canada, a recurring theme is evident: technological imperative, the doctrine maintaining that technology's march is largely inevitable, autonomous, foreordained (Winner, 1977). In Canada, foremost among proselytizers of the doctrine of technological imperative, have been senior civil servants Shirley Serafini and Michel Andrieu, whose widely-read tome, The Information Revolution and Its Implications for Canada (1981), declared:

The article "The Regulation of Broadcasting in Canada and the U.S.: Straws in the Wind" [this volume] is exemplary on two counts: first, it asks us to consider simultaneously provisions of the Broadcasting Act and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, certainly a worthwhile exercise; and second it typifies neo-conservative analysis of an important policy issue. Neo-conservatism, of come, has for a number of years been blowing its chill wind through Parliament Hill and several provincial legislatures, making the article in tune with the times.
Governance structures and coordination mechanisms in the Brazilian pork chain – Diversity of arrangements to support the supply of piglets
Authors: Martins Franco M. , Trienekens Jacques , Omta Onno
Published: May 2017

This paper depicts the main coordination mechanisms (CMs) included in governance structures used to support the supply of piglets in the Brazilian Pork Chain (BPC). Furthermore, it analyses how and why actors use plural forms of coordination to support similar transactions. Based on the literature and an exploratory study carried out in the BPC, we propose a framework to analyse how price, volume, quality and resource allocation are coordinated in a transaction. This paper builds on transaction cost economics in two ways. First, it shows that to arrange a transaction, a buyer may set CMs in distinct positions within the market-hierarchy continuum. Second, it shows that actors use plural CMs with different counterparties in similar transactions. We found four explanations for plural governance: market fluctuations, bargaining power of suppliers, stricter coordination and quality, and the exchange context.

El artículo que aquí presentamos si bien comparte el interés general sobre el devenir de las trayectorias de estudiantes en las instituciones universitarias de gestión estatal, abordado por un número cada vez mayor de estudiosos dedicados al tema, procura desarrollar una visión analítica productiva que permita capturar algunos rasgos de la especificidad del fenómeno en torno a una institución universitaria estatal en particular: la Universidad Nacional de San Juan. Se visibiliza así una línea de investigación que se viene consolidando en la provincia desde hace varios años, espacio acadé- mico en el que los autores de este trabajo participan como investigadores.
El sentido de vida en adolescentes entre 17 y 18 años de la ciudad de Mendoza, evidenciado antes y después de un programa de intervención basado en los postulados de Viktor Frankl
Authors: Gottfried Mter. Andrés Enzo
Published: May 2017

El artículo da cuenta de un estudio exploratorio-descriptivo que observa los efectos de un programa de intervención teórico-vivencial sobre sentido de vida en base a los postulados de la logoterapia de Viktor Frankl. La población a la cual se aplicó se constituyó por 68 estudiantes entre 17 y 18 años del último año del colegio secundario de la ciudad de Mendoza. El programa de intervención tuvo una duración de 4 meses, implementado dentro de las horas de clases de la materia de Psicología. Se realizaron 18 encuentros de 2 horas reloj cada uno. Y al mismo tiempo se lo comparó con alumnos de otro curso del mismo colegio que conformaron el grupo control. Para observar el logro interior de sentido se aplicó el "Purpose in Life" Crumbaugh y Maholick (1969), adaptado para Argentina como "Test de Sentido en la Vida" por Gottfried (2016), antes y después de la aplicación del trabajo de intervención. Los resultados arrojaron diferencias significativas en la mayoría de los ítems investigados.
Devenires de la autoridad en la escuela

Published: May 2017

El presente trabajo da cuenta de una experiencia de intervención en una escuela secundaria de la ciudad de Villa Mercedes, San Luis, a través de la realización de un taller de reflexión sobre la autoridad docente. El taller se desarrolló con docentes de 6.to año con el objetivo de crear condiciones para pensar colectivamente las prácticas profesionales en relación a la autoridad, valiéndonos del espacio grupal como espacio intermediario. Permitió recuperar la dimensión subjetiva a partir de la indagación en una instancia individual y colectiva que favoreció pensar y pensarse en el "entre" de un dispositivo grupal, que posibilitó nominar el malestar y asimismo auguró la posibilidad de construir nuevas significaciones en relación al tema de la autoridad, mediante el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico, la autonomía de opinión y de criterio, como así también la fuerza creadora de esos miembros del grupo para abrirse a la creatividad y el devenir.
The impact of monetary policy on output and inflation in India: A frequency domain analysis
Authors: Salunkhe Bhavesh , Patnaik Anuradha
Published: May 2017

In the recent past, several attempts by the RBI to control inflation through
tight monetary policy have ended up slowing the growth process, thereby
provoking prolonged discussion among academics and policymakers about the
efficacy of monetary policy in India. Against this backdrop, the present
study attempts to estimate the causal relationship between monetary policy
and its final objectives; i.e., growth, and controlling inflation in India.
The methodological tool used is testing for Granger Causality in the
frequency domain as developed by Lemmens et al. (2008), and monetary policy
has been proxied by the weighted average call money rate. In view of the
fact that output gap is one of the determinants of future inflation, an
attempt has also been made to study the causal relationship between output
gap and inflation. The results of empirical estimation show a bi-directional
causality between policy rate and inflation and between policy rate and
output, which implies that the monetary authorities in India were equally
concerned about inflation and output growth when determining policy.
Furthermore, any attempt to control inflation affects output with the same
or even greater magnitude than inflation, thereby damaging the growth
process. The relationship between output gap and inflation was found to be
positive, as reported in earlier studies for India. Furthermore, the output
gap causes inflation only in the short-tomediumrun.
Determinants of credit risk - the case of Serbia
Authors: Jovic Zeljko
Published: May 2017

This paper examines systemic and specific factors that increased the credit
risk level in the Serbian banking sector between 2008 and 2014, by applying
the vector autoregression model (VAR), logit and probit. Business cycle and
RSD depreciation are the most important systemic determinants of credit risk
in the corporate sector, while in the retail sector these determinants
represent a deterioration of the business and financial situation, based on
a rise in the unemployment rate and nonperforming loans, together with
domestic currency depreciation and the effects of the solidarity tax. Banks
that entered the crisis with a lower level of capital, higher level of
portfolio concentration in their 50 biggest borrowers, and with restrictions
on the owner supporting the bank by providing additional capital in the
period of credit risk increase, have been more exposed to default and more
inclined to overestimate their good assets in their reports. The influence
of RSD depreciation and the economic interrelation of clients represent an
increase in the credit risk level.
Degradation of benzodiazepines using water falling film dielectric barrier discharge reactor
Authors: Radulovic Vesna , Roglic Goran , Manojlovic Dragan
Published: May 2017

Classical methods of wastewater treatment are often not suitable for the treatment of pharmaceutical waste. The previous studies have shown that the use of the advanced oxidation procedures (AOP) can lead to a more efficient degradation of various biologically active compounds, which are active pharmaceutical ingredients of applied drugs. The aim of this paper is the application of the plasma technology on the degradation of a two active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs, diazepam and alprazolam) and the finished products (Bensedin? and Ksalol?) using the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor for AOP. We studied the degradation rate of these pharmaceuticals, depending on the number of passes through the reactor. This degradation method was efficient 61 % for diazepam and 95 % alprazolam. We also examined the influence of the pH adjustment between the passes of APIs through the DBD reactor. The degradation rate of APIs and the finished products was monitored by the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique, using a photodiode array detector. The concentration of the dissolved ozone was determined using the iodometric procedure.

Time resolved analysis of nanosecond pulsed laser processing of carbon fiber reinforced plastics
Authors: Bluemel S. , Kuklik J. , Staehr R. , Jaeschke P. , Suttmann O. , Overmeyer L.
Published: May 2017

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) are of high interest for lightweight construction within many industrial sectors. Although knowledge about the laser processing of CFRP is continuously increasing, deeper process knowledge is of importance for the development of automatable and controllable industrial processes. Furthermore, new laser sources are developed continuously, providing, for example, high pulse energies for short and ultrashort pulse laser processing. In order to develop a fast and high quality cutting process, the lifetime of potentially shielding plasmas and particles is a key factor. For this purpose, time resolved investigations of pulsed laser processing were conducted. A fiber guided nanosecond pulsed laser source with an average laser power of PL = 1.5 kW and a maximum pulse energy of EP = 80 mJ was used for cutting. The setup for the time resolved investigation consisted mainly of an industrial camera, enabling a minimum exposure time of tB = 13 μs and a light source with a pulse duration of tP = 500 ns in order to realize pictures of the process with high spatial and temporal resolutions. An optical setup with a light source and a camera on opposite sides of the processing zone was chosen for the investigation. In order to ensure distortion-free imaging of the processing zone, the camera was equipped with telecentric lenses. The time resolved analysis is realized by a laser signal as the master clock and a delay generator, enabling the activation of the camera and light source in a defined delay in relation to the laser pulse. With the described setup, cutting processes with different laser parameters were investigated. The focus of the analysis was the plasma and particle formation depending on two main factors for the observed process parameters. One factor is the time delay between the laser pulse and taking the picture, and the other factor is the cutting kerf depth. The investigation revealed the lifetime of the plasma as well as the changes in the plasma between two consecutive pulses. The results indicate a plasma lifetime in the range of t = 20 μs to t = 200 μs. Consequently, the optimum repetition rate for the chosen laser system is expected to be in the range of f = 5 kHz to f = 50 kHz. For deeper cutting kerfs and smaller ablation rates, the area of plasma plumes reduces and the lifetime of the plasma seems to reduce in an analogous manner.
