Adherence reflects the extent to which individuals experience or engage with the content of online interventions and poses a major challenge. Neglecting to examine and report adherence and its relation to outcomes can compromise the interpretation of research findings. The aim of this systematic review is to analyze how adherence is accounted for in publications and to propose standards for measuring and reporting adherence to online interventions.
We performed a systematic review of randomized controlled trials on online interventions for the prevention and treatment of common mental health disorders (depression, anxiety disorders, substance related disorders, eating disorders) published between January 2006 and May 2018. We included primary publications on manualized online treatments (more than 1 session, successive access to content) and examined how adherence was reported in these publications.
We identified 216 publications that met our inclusion criteria. Adherence was addressed in 85% of full text manuscripts, but only 31% of abstracts. The median number of usage metrics reported was three; the most frequently reported usage metric was intervention completion, which was reported in 61% of the manuscripts. Manuscripts published in specialized E-Health journals more frequently included information on the relation of adherence and outcomes.
We found substantial variety in the reporting of adherence and the usage metrics used to operationalize adherence. This limits the comparability of results and impedes the integration of findings from different studies. Based on our findings, we propose reporting standards for future publications regarding online interventions.

The subject of this paper is to make closer clarification of the role and the specificities of services in transporting medicine by caring of vulnerable populations, or individuals who are in an emergency condition or critical situations. The field of medical transport presents a few legal questions and challenges. The aim is to research the rate of legal regulation and whether the legal and other regulation should be revised for reasons of achieving better health care of endangered. Issues of performing different types of transport of patients are observed in cases where the transport emergency and when it is not an emergency but is done on the orders of a doctor, be it on intrahospital moving the patient, moving within health facilities, or at home treatment. Each hospital should have a formalized plan for intra- and interhospital transport that addresses: a) pretransport coordination and communication; b) transport personnel; c) transport equipment; d) monitoring during transport; and e) documentation. The transport plan should be developed by a multidisciplinary team and should be evaluated and refined regularly using a standard quality improvement process. Each transport of critically ill patients carries inherent risks. So equally important is a commitment to providing high-quality, compassionate clinical care in a team-based environment with excellent documentation and communication. The results of the legal analysis and the illustrated example from the foreign jurisprudence are that when it comes to transport some of the patients' rights can be suspended under the condition of keeping a medical record properly. The urgency of transport is the reverse of the merits of enjoyment of the corresponding rights. The conclusion is that the regulations Serbia in the field of healthcare under-cover transportation problems of patients. Some amendments to the regulations and draft decisions regarding the current work of emergency services are of more recent date and insufficiently implemented. There is no doubt that groups or individuals in transport deserve a better quality of transport services, as well as the effective protection of the complaints against the department. Developed countries, experiencing and legislation in this regard can be a good model for the Law of Serbia. This is very important because today some aspects of transport, the case of the so-called. air ambulances in the health care, have given international situation.
УЛОГА ДЕРИВАЦИЈЕ У НАСТАВИ ВОКАБУЛАРА ЕНГЛЕСКОГ ЈЕЗИКА

Historically speaking, morphology had long figured as a marginal area of applied linguistic research. Its absence was particularly noticeable in teaching curricula and leading scientific journals. The last twenty years have seen a significant change, and morphology is nowadays gaining considerable attention as linguists and teaching practitioners alike are attempting to explore, from various standpoints, the acquisition of morphological processes in children, adults and L2 learners of differing proficiency levels. In line with these tendencies, the aim of this paper is to shed light on the immanent interrelatedness of morphology, specifically derivation, and vocabulary, and present EFL teaching and learning practices which contribute to an improved awareness of English derivational morphology. By drawing on the relevant literature and analyzing teaching materials that focus on derivation, we will try to draw attention to the importance of morphology in the process of English language learning and acquisition, an issue that has hitherto been underemphasized in the Serbian EFL context.

The process of educating preschool teachers in Serbia over the past decades has been carried out within the framework of three-year vocational programs. Ten years ago Teacher Education Faculties offered academic, four – year long studies for preschool teachers. Curricula and programs in all areas, including music, have been constantly modificated,  improved and adapted to the needs of practice. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a statistically significant difference between self-assessment of musical competences – general and individual (instrument playing skills, knowledge of musical notation, as well as basic methodological steps in music activities) between educators who have just completed academic studies and those who already work at Serbian preschools an have mainly attended vocational studies. Our primary purpose was to ascertain whether the various innovations introduced within the curricula of musical subjects in the academic studies have positively influenced the teachers’ perception of their own musical competencies. The research has confirmed the impact of educational programs for music teachers on the self-assessment of their musical competencies and knowledge in this field. There was a statistically significant difference between the responses of the experimental and control groups in favor of experimental in all key areas: general self-assessment of music competences, self-assessment of specific skills – music-playing skill and music literacy, content selection criteria, methodological procedures.

Published: April 2019

Starting from the current role of school in preparing students for life in a socially and culturally diverse world, this paper points out the need to change the paradigm towards an open constructivist curriculum and new learning strategies in the implementation of the concept of interculturality in the school context. Special attention has been devoted to developing intercultural competences of both students and teachers starting from the changes in the school culture, constructivist, contextual and integrated approach in viewing multicultural contents and activities. The paper presents two examples of the implementation of this concept which were created within the second component of the project entitled “The Support to Human Capital Development and Research – General Education and Human Capital Development – Razvionica” in schools in Serbia. The summary provides an outline of the pedagogical measures for supporting intercultural education, including the role of developing the school culture in that process.

The subject of the research paper is focused on the recommendations for alternative financing and management with the aim of achieving sustainable development of protected areas and the commons. For the need of research paper we have conducted financial analysis of operations of the national parks, which pointed out one of the challenges for sustainable (economic and environmental) development of protected areas in Serbia. We have taken into account the multi-year period, with the aim of assessment of the financial position in order to give recommendations that may provide sustainable development of national parks. Financial analysis conducted in this paper refers to the measurement of financial performances, the financial position and operations efficiency of the national parks with particular emphasis on NP Djerdap and related commons. The basic objective of this analysis is reflected in the consideration of weakness (which can lead to the illiquidity and insolvency of NP Đerdap in the future), with the goal of timely undertaking adequate measures for their elimination ensuring sustainable development. The second challenge is concerned with the essential similarities and differences in terms of management, responsibilities, protection, rights to use national parks as examples of protected areas, and the associated heritage as examples of commons. Different perspectives on these phenomena closely confirm the direction of management recommendations.In relation to the identified financial and management challenges, the main objective of the paper is to give recommendations for an alternative system solutions that reflects through the establishment the financial and management sustainability of national parks and associated heritage.

Economics has been uttered, spoken and written about more than it is studied and/or understood. It impregnates our lives to such extent that the claim "now and then we're all economists” represents a meaningful, though not necessarily true statement (except, possibly, in a very narrow sense when it is grasped as a skill). However, economics, like any other science, would be superfluous "if the form and essence directly coincide." Although economists do not dispute the interweaving of science and skills, most of them will say that economics has established itself as a scientific discipline with particular field of research. Also, a number of economists will support transfer and exchange of ideas, concepts and methods among different research fields. Consequently, economists will in principle accept expansionism as a positive trend bringing to economics and other disciplines nothing but benefits. The aim of this paper is to indicate (through a review of relevant literature) economics’ attempt to realize its expansionist ambitions in order to establish itself as a universal science (general philosophy of the society) by misinterpreting or even abusing thе idea of multiple disciplinarity.
RECOGNITION OF FACIAL MICRO EXPRESSIONS OF EMOTIONS DEPENDING ON PROFESSIONAL ORIENTATION, SATISFACTION WITH LIFE AND SOCIAL BACKGROUND OF STUDENTS
Authors: Veljkovic Bojan Milivoje
Published: April 2019

The aim of this research was to examine if there is a difference regarding the successfulness of observation of facial micro expressions of basic emotions among students depending on their professional orientation, social background and self-assessment of satisfaction with life. The instruments used were a computer program for examining the ability to observe basic emotions based on micro expressions of the face and SWLS- Satisfaction with life scale. The results showed that there is a connection between the self-assessment of satisfaction with life and the accuracy of observation of micro facial expressions of basic emotions. When it comes to the successfulness of observation of facial micro expressions of basic emotions, there is no difference between students from the city and the village, or between the subsamples of students of different social backgrounds.
ATTITUDES OF INFERTILE WOMEN IN SERBIA TOWARDS THIRD-PARTY REPRODUCTION
Authors: Bilinović Ana , Zotović Marija , Škorić Marko , Kričković Pele Ksenija
Published: April 2019

Third-party reproduction refers to the use of gametes, embryos or gestation that have been provided by a third party to enable an infertile individual or couple to become parent(s). The social, legal, and ethical acceptability of third-party reproduction varies around the world. In Serbia, there is a noticeable lack of data on attitudes towards infertility treatments involving the use of donated gametes, as well as surrogacy arrangements, due to the fact that this practice is banned in this country. The aim of this paper is to examine the attitudes of infertile women in Serbia towards third-party reproduction, i.e. gamete donation and surrogate motherhood as potential parts of their own infertility treatments. The sample included 50 infertile women involved in the program of in vitro fertilization, which amounts to at least 10% of the total number of women who go through the program of state-funded in vitro fertilization in Novi Sad each year. The questionnaire, constructed for the purpose of the study, was administered. The participants expressed negative attitudes towards using third-party gamete donation and surrogacy in their own infertility treatments. The negative attitudes were most prevalent among participants with low- and medium-level education. The potential reasons for such attitudes are discussed.

Published: April 2019

The existing organization and direct implementation of all types and forms of teaching at the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education in Niš certainly provide an opportunity to improve their quality. When a good quality contemporary teaching is mentioned, it is presumed that students are in an active role, and that there are preconditionsmet for students to be able to participate in the teaching process actively and creatively, while according to their individual potentials they should be able to progress and develop. In order to systematically present the possible ways to have good quality teaching, this paper provided the theoretical basis and the pedagogical/didactic presentation of two contemporary teaching systems: cooperative and integrative learning. Through the explanation of the essential features of these teaching systems, their values and possibilities, articulation and challenges to implement them, this paper has provided the theoretical concept on how to ensure the quality of teaching through these modern teaching systems.

This paper presents some of the results of an exploratory research conducted on an appropriate sample of students from six countries in the region of Southeast Europe (N-973), among them 182 potentially gifted, ie with an average grade above 9.00, therefore with expressed academic performance. The intercultural sensitivity of the gifted students was examined in the context of the current migration processes in order to analyze their ability to accept pluralistic ideas and to reconsider the opposite argumentation, because the gifted have a greater tolerance to diversity and the like.The differences in the intercultural sensitivity of the gifted students compared to other students, as well as the differences between students by gender, were recorded by applying the descriptive method and the scale of assessment as an instrument. The instrument was concerned with the question: what effects in the field of intercultural communication can cause current migration in Europe? Independent variables were gender and success in studies, and the dependent variable was level of intercultural sensitivity.The main finding relates to the following: there are statistically significant differences (small or medium) in evaluating positive and negative intercultural effects in terms of sex and success in studies, and that the donation in immigration flows has more positive effects for the EU, and in the first place among these is the strengthening of multiculturalism in the EU.

Published: April 2019

Una de las mayores preocupaciones del Bachillerato Virtual de la Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa es la de buscar la mejora en el proceso educativo, tratando de cumplir con los lineamientos establecidos en el Sistema Nacional del Bachillerato y que impacte en los estudiantes. De la misma manera, coadyuvar a cumplir con los objetivos del Eje 1 “Innovación Educativa y Docencia de Calidad” del Plan de Desarrollo Institucional Consolidación Global 2021 de nuestra Alma Mater.

Es por ello que, a partir de esta reflexión, se han hecho cambios a los contenidos temáticos, las actividades a realizar, las formas de trabajar de los docentes, fomentando en los estudiantes la interacción, interactividad, motivación, innovación, originalidad y creatividad en la concreción de sus ideas.

Considerar las teorías y enfoques del constructivismo y conectividad, ha permitido visualizar que se está fortaleciendo el trabajo en el Bachillerato a distancia, razón por la que al final del documento se deja a consideración un ejemplo de una de las actividades del Curso de Comunicación oral y escrita I.
Desarrollo del pensamiento crítico e interculturalidad
Authors: Vargas Castillo José Alberto , Cano Padilla Luis Miguel Ángel
Published: April 2019

Usualmente se consideran las asignaturas de tendencia filosófica como mayormente teóricas y sin una aplicación práctica en la vida diaria del estudiante; sin embargo, esto último es completamente falso. El principal propósito de estas asignaturas en el espíritu formativo que ofrece el bachillerato a distancia de la UNAM es dotar al alumno con las herramientas conceptuales necesarias para evaluar la información de su entorno de manera reflexiva y crítica para así poder tomar decisiones informadas y racionales, justificándolas de manera argumentativa, con base en evidencia concreta y con la capacidad de exponer sus ideas y conclusiones dentro de un espíritu democrático y con el respeto de las reglas del diálogo. Debido a lo anterior el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje de las asignaturas de esta área se vuelve complejo debido a diversos factores como son los propios de la modalidad en línea, los conceptuales y los socioculturales, todos los cuales inciden en el aprovechamiento de los alumnos.

En este trabajo presentamos una reflexión en torno a este tema. Primeramente, presentamos las cifras relativas al porcentaje de aprobación en las asignaturas de “Problemas filosóficos”, “Lógica para la resolución de problemas” y “Dialógica y argumentación”. Posteriormente analizamos la estrecha relación que guardan entre sí estas tres asignaturas y finalmente planteamos las principales problemáticas detectadas que se relacionan con los índices de aprobación señalados en el primer punto, entre los cuales destaca el relacionado con el aspecto intercultural y bilingüe en el que se enmarca el proyecto “juntos en línea” especialmente al atender a comunidades rurales.

Objetivo - construir sistemas dinámicos caóticos unidimensionales mediante el estudio de una familia de funciones con dominio y contradominio en el intervalo [0,1] la cual se define en términos de cuatro parámetros.

Método - con base a los parámetros que definen a cada función que proponemos, se identificaron aquellas que tienen periodo tres, las cuales inducen un sistema caótico en el contexto de Li-Yorke. Los teoremas del punto fijo y de Sharkovskii fueron la herramienta fundamental de nuestro trabajo.

Resultados - se obtuvo un conjunto de sistemas dinámicos caóticos, se describió un procedimiento sencillo para obtener sistemas dinámicos caóticos (adicionales a los obtenidos) y se sugiere como primera aplicación la obtención de números pseudoaleatorios.

Limitaciones - los sistemas dinámicos construidos son caóticos en el sentido de Li-Yorke, -no necesariamente en el sentido de Devaney-.

Principales hallazgos - las funciones estudiadas tienen una gráfica en forma de Zeta, y para cada una de ellas se identifica a su respectiva dual (las gráficas que se obtienen presentan una relación de simetría), de esta manera se muestran las condiciones que deben verificar los parámetros -primal y dual- para obtener (y no obtener) período tres.

INCLUSIVE EDUCATION: a research on the perception of the teachers of a school in Espinosa – MG

ABSTRACT

The process of inclusion of the disabled student in common classes of the regular network still requires many changes in the educational management by the State, which functions as an example of society, giving an overview of how it is, highlighting an important mission of the school that is to provide relationships in an interaction environment. Classroom practice does not effectively meet the needs of students in the inclusion process and one of the contributing factors is the school's lack of adaptation of the curriculum. This study provided a closer look at what is involved in the reality of inclusive education in schools and also brought the reality of schools in the regular network closer.

CAPITAL SOCIAL E SUAS DIVERGÊNCIAS CONCEITUAIS
Authors: Leis Luciana Pereira , Cavalcante Carolina Miranda
Published: April 2019

O objetivo do presente artigo é uma análise do conceito de capital social a partir da leitura das principais obras de Putnam, Coleman e Bourdieu. Tais autores, referidos na literatura como os difusores do conceito de capital social no âmbito das ciências sociais, podem ser classificados em duas correntes: uma econômica, mais focada nos aspectos econômicos do capital social e nas teorias da ação racional (Putnam e Coleman); outra sociológica, que enfatiza a ideia de enraizamento social (Bourdieu). A segunda corrente adotaria uma perspectiva mais holística, chamando atenção para os aspectos estruturais na formação do capital social, enquanto a primeira estaria voltada à investigação dos mecanismos canalizadores da ação racional para a construção de redes de relacionamento dotadas de capital social. Tendo em vista a atenção dada à ideia de capital social por instituições internacionais, como o Banco Mundial, uma análise do conceito de capital social se faz necessária, haja vista a multiplicidade conceitual observada na literatura acerca desse tema.

Authors: Baranovsky Andrey Yu. , Belyaev Alexey M. , Kondrashina Elina A.
Published: April 2019

Aim: to analyze the dynamics of morbidity and mortality from digestive diseases, as well as their causes, in the RF Northwestern Federal District (NWFD).

Materials and methods. A statistical analysis was carried out on the basis of the 2007–2017 annual reports of the Medical Information and Analytical Center (MIAC) in St. Petersburg and the reports of the chief gastroenterologists of the Northwestern Federal District subjects.

Results. In the RF Northwestern Federal District, an increase in both morbidity and mortality from digestive diseases is observed. The main non-oncological reasons for the development of these disorders include alcoholic liver disease, chronic alcoholic pancreatitis, peptic ulcer complications and NSAID-associated gastropathies. Along with a decrease in the incidence of gastric cancer, an increase in the incidence of colorectal cancer, as well as pancreatic cancer, is observed. A decrease in mortality from all the aforementioned cancer localizations is revealed.

Conclusions. The main reasons for the increase in morbidity and mortality due to gastroenterological diseases in the RF Northwestern Federal District include alcohol abuse among the population, inadequate prevention of gastric helicobacteriosis, insufficient expertise of physicians in terms of Helicobacter pylorieradication and cancer prevention.
Forsvar vår dyd, men kom oss ikke for nær. Norge og det militære samarbeidet i NATO
Authors: Sigurd Hilde Paal
Published: April 2019

Artikkelen tar utgangspunkt i Johan Jørgen Holsts og Rolf Tamnes’ klassiske kategoriseringer og gir et perspektiv på norsk sikkerhetspolitikk som et forsøk på å finne en balanse mellom ulike behov: støtte fra vest, lavspenning med øst og innenrikspolitisk oppslutning. Artikkelen retter oppmerksomheten mot to områder av det militære samarbeidet i NATO som har vært sentrale for Norge gjennom 70 års medlemskap: NATOs kommandostruktur og alliert tilstedeværelse i og planer for forsterkning av landet. Områdene har gitt tydelige utrykk til den norske balansegangen og vært viktige for utviklingen av denne. Overordnet har norsk sikkerhetspolitikk gjennom en skiftende internasjonal kontekst siden 1949 beveget seg mot mer integrasjon og avskrekking og mindre beroligelse og avskjerming. Et større steg i denne retning kom i 1995, mindre i 1951, 1977 og 2016. Selv om balansepunktet har blitt forskjøvet, er imidlertid norske myndigheters vektlegging av å finne en balanse fortsatt relevant og levende.
Utsettelsen av utslettelsen: NATOs atomvåpen i 70 år
Authors: Gullestad Rø Johannes
Published: April 2019

Introduksjonen av atomvåpen representerte et tidsskille i internasjonal politikk på grunn av våpnenes grenseløse ødeleggelsespotensiale. Det var NATOs skjebne å danne fortropp i denne nye æraen. Atomvåpen har i 70 år vært den viktigste kilden til sikkerhet så vel som til usikkerhet for NATO. For Norge har atomvåpen vært både besværlig og beleilig. Basepolitikken, atompolitikken og anløpspolitikken begrenset Norges befatning med NATOs atomvåpen. Samtidig har NATOs trussel om atomvåpenbruk vært en bunnplanke i norsk forsvarspolitikk. Operasjonelt har Norge heller ikke vært avskåret fra NATOs atomvåpenpolitikk. Etter den kalde krigen ble betydningen av atomvåpen i NATOs forsvarsplanlegging redusert. Nå er mange av problemstillingene vendt tilbake. Det er en vedvarende stormakspolitisk fellesinteresse, og et ansvar for NATO, å gjøre utsettelsen av utslettelsen permanent.

El positivismo racionalista, mutila el ser, al afirmar que existe una sola realidad posible (5-6), en el caso de la medicina sit al paciente fuera de la vida real. Esto es posible al reducirlo a un objeto, es decir un diagntico, una enfermedad, con lo cual se niega el contexto, la cosmovisi, los sentimientos y los saberes del paciente. Esta forma de mirar el mundo a pesar de su envestidura polica de neutralidad, es conservadora, pues mantiene el status quo y defiende su pretenciosa normatividad (2).

Published: April 2019

Purpose: The present study intended to compare the effects on the female body of high-heeled shoe types, including regular high heels, wedge heels, and platform heels, with those of sneakers during level walking by examining muscular activity in the lower limbs. Materials and Methods: Participants were 20 women in their 20s or 30s who regularly wear different types of size 8 (US size). The heel height tested was 7 cm, and electromyographic muscular activation (% maximal voluntary isometric contraction) was measured in the rectus femoris, tibialis anterior, and semitendinosus muscles of participants’ dominant legs during walking 15 m at a self–selected walking velocity step speed. Results: Rectus femoris revealed significant electromyographic differences among shoe types in terms of muscular activation (p = .013). Multiple comparisons among shoe types and activation of various muscles were carried out. These showed significant (p < .05) differences in rectus femoris muscular activation among shoe types, most notably between sneakers and platform heels (average -15.69 (SD = 4.22) (p = .002)) and between sneakers and high heels (average 13.83 (SD = 4.22) (p = .010)). Conclusion: Results obtained revealed significant variation in muscular activation of rectus femoris among shoe types. Multiple pairwise comparisons of the differences in muscular activation of rectus femoris revealed significant differences between sneakers and high heeled shoes and between sneakers and platform heels. Therefore, the results of the present study are expected to be beneficial for ordinary individuals in selecting appropriate types of shoes that reduce the level of the muscle activation.

ESTUDIO PROSPECTIVO DE LA CALIDAD MICROBIOLÓGICA DEL AGUA QUE CONSUME LA POBLACIÓN DE FORTALEZA – COCHABAMBA
Authors: Cossio Andia Eddy
Published: April 2019

El estudio microbiológico del agua es de vital importancia porque ello permite tomar acciones en la prevención de enfermedades causadas por el consumo de agua contaminada. El presente estudio se realizó en base a la siguiente pregunta: ¿El agua consumida por la población de Fortaleza es apta para el consumo humano? Para responder la misma se planteó el objetivo: Determinar la calidad microbiológica del agua que consume la población de fortaleza. Dado que esta población es considerada zona periurbana agrícola (zona sudoeste) y al no contar con servicios básicos pone en riesgo la salud de la población y provoca un problema de salud pública. En base a la hipótesis de que el agua de fortaleza tiene una deficiente calidad microbiológica y no cumple los requisitos microbiológicos establecidos en las Normas Bolivianas, se realizó un estudio prospectivo longitudinal. Se tomaron 4 muestras en la gestión 2013 y 4 muestras en la gestión 2017 de diferentes puntos de distribución del agua que consume la población de Fortaleza y se sometieron a pruebas de control de calidad microbiológica. Los resultados mostraron que la calidad del agua es deficiente, se encontró la presencia de Pseudomonas aeruginosa, un incremento en el recuento de Bacterias Aerobias Mesófilas totales y de coliformes totales. Se puede observar que el agua de la población de Fortaleza está contaminada con Pseudomonas aeruginosa y que no cumplen con los requisitos mínimos establecidos en la Norma Boliviana 512 y MB 5122 al superar notablemente los valores máximos de conteo de bacterias para los parámetros estudiados.

The main objective of this work is to assess the performance of two heat exchanger units (Stripper/Gas Overhead Condenser and Methanator Effluent Cooler) operating under steady state conditions in two stages. Two different methods are employed in monitoring the heat exchanger fouling, namely dirt factor trend method and a statistical control technique where a Cumulative Sum (CuSum) chart is used to check the stability of the process. Data were obtained through steady state monitoring and direct measurements from the plant. The data were analyzed using various energy equations and a computer program to determine the overall heat transfer coefficient, heat duty, capacity ratio, corrected log-mean-temperature difference, fouling factor, temperature range of both fluids and effectiveness. The result shows that for the Stripper/Gas Overhead Condenser, the overall heat transfer coefficient was 63.13% less than the design value in stage1 and 12.59% less in stage2. For the Methanator Effluent Cooler the value of heat duty and the overall heat transfer coefficient were 51.76% and 59.62% less respectively than the design value in stage1 and 30.72% and 30.16% less respectively in stage2. This was traceable to increase in heat transfer rate as a result of injecting the tubes of the exchangers with NALCO fluid. In order to detect small changes in the heat exchanger operation and to know the actual time fouling starts to build up, a Cusum chart is used. This work made use of QI Macros software to check the stability of the heat exchanger units and to know if processes are on-target.

Oil spillage is a major environmental threat in south south of Nigeria where most of oil exploration and exploitation activities takes place. If this goes on unchecked or poorly managed, it would lead to total annihilation of the ecosystem. The objective of this study is to develop a model for the prediction of potassium depletion in the crude oil contaminated soil with time using regression analysis. Each sample containing 10kg of soil was artificially polluted with 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 liters of crude oil (Bonny Light).  The potassium concentrations were determined using standard methods. Results shows that the concentration of residual potassium in the soil for all the volumes of crude oil introduced into the soil decrees significantly with time when compared to values obtained for the control samples. The concentration of residual concentration in the control soil sample was about three times higher than the concentration obtained for other samples. The results obtained from the derived model were very close to the experimental value. The model is suitable for determining potassium content in crude oil polluted site.

The liver plays an important role in regulating the body's internal interactions as the largest and the most complex organs in the body. Such interactions are essential in preserving life and proper body function. The eaten foods are not consumed in the same way in the body. In fact, it should pass through the liver and after absorption and entering the blood, and the liver plays an important role in the storage of eaten substances. Accordingly, the speed of diagnosing and treating liver diseases are highly effective in improving patients' health; however, there is always a lack of immediate access to specialized physicians. The present study aims to provide an expert system using the VP-Expert shell for diagnosing liver disease. Also, block and Mockler charts have been used to provide the necessary knowledge in the expert system. In this regard, the factors affecting the diagnosis of the disease were firstly categorized into three groups of blood tests, clinical symptoms of illness and disease time on the block diagram for disease diagnose, and in the next step, the Mockler chart was designed according to the three groups of factors on the block chart. The three categories of disease diagnostic factors, questions corresponding sub-sections, and the response range are determined on Mockler chart, and finally, the tables are designed to express the system inference according to the user's answers to the questions.
