Knowledge and Attitudes of Pregnant Women Regarding Breastfeeding
Authors: Ahmed Hamdia M. , Piro Safyia S.
Published: May 2020

Inadequate knowledge or inappropriate attitude about breastfeeding may lead to undesirable consequences. This study assessed the breastfeeding knowledge and attitude of pregnant women about breastfeeding. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 120 pregnant women from four primary health-care centers in Erbil City/Iraqi Kurdistan from March 15, 2017, to May 15, 2017. A structured questionnaire was developed based on the evidence in the literature. A face to face interview technique was used for data collection. Overall, 61.7% of mothers had a poor level of knowledge of breastfeeding despite having a positive attitude (96.7%). There was a significant association between mothers’ knowledge and mothers’ education level, age, occupation, and type of family. However, no significant association was found between mothers’ attitude and their education level, age, occupation, parity, type of family, and having the plan to breastfeed. As general, the highest percentage of correct responses was about knowing about early skin-to-skin contact (69.2%), initiation of breastfeeding (57.5%), knowing the colostrum (76.7%), necessity of giving colostrum (79.2%), no necessity prelacteal feeding (79.2%), exclusive breastfeeding age (69.2%), complementary age food (70.8%), and optimal weaning time (70%) while the lowest percentage of correct responses was about breastfeeding benefits for infant and mother; as well as the contraindication of breastfeeding. Having good attitude regarding breastfeeding is not ensuring to have good knowledge. A significant number of pregnant mothers had not sufficient knowledge that indicating the necessity of interventional programs by the health system.

Published: May 2020

Tobacco use is considered one of the largest public health threats facing the world. Waterpipe smoking (WPS) is a customary and cultural method of tobacco consumption in many parts of the world. This study aimed to find the prevalence of smoking among Duhok city University students in Iraq and to assess students’ knowledge regarding smoking. A cross-sectional, self-completed questionnaire-based study was conducted at four Universities in Duhok city. According to the study’s objectives, scientific and literature colleges from each university are selected. The selection of the number of enrolled colleges and departments is proportionate with total university students’ number. The colleges and departments are selected by a simple random sampling method. Descriptive and analytic statistical tools (SPSS-23) were used to assess significant associations. Chi-square test association is used to compare between proportions. The prevalence of cigarette smoking was 23.5% among studied students (41.9% among males and 6.8% among females), and the prevalence of WPS was 33.2% (56.7% among males and 11.8% among females). There is a significant correlation between cigarette smoking and WPS. Most of the students in this study were not well aware of the most harmful effects of smoking. There was a highly statistically significant association between cigarette and WPS. Smoking in males is more prevalent than females. Inclusion of a detailed and separate course in the university curriculum regarding tobacco control and the effects of smoking on health should be made compulsory. This course must be started from the 1st year of academic courses till the time of graduation or conducting health education and extensive counseling on the harmful effect of smoking for all university students.

Published: May 2020

In general, construction site management is planning, organizing, leading, directing, monitoring, and controlling overall construction activities, during the implementation phase, one of the key elements of construction site management is site layout planning, which is identifying, sizing, and placing temporary facilities within construction boundaries. It has got enormous influence on project parameters. The main aim of this study is to investigate Erbil’s project’s site layout performance. The study was carried out in Erbil, 16 projects have selected for assessment. From the result, it was found that these projects suffer from poor site layout planning, as there was a poor plan for construction facilities, the location of these facilities was wrong, almost, all projects have neglected safety-related issues and much more factors which have been discussed in the analysis section. As a solution, the researcher believes that the current site layout design of projects need immediate improvement, planning should be considered as priority for every single temporary facility during construction; safety basic should be implemented, including wearing PPE; labor accommodation should be improved; sanitation of the workforce should be good; and many other site layout elements should be developed.

Authors: Ghaffoori Farman K. , Arbili Mohamed M.
Published: May 2020

This paper deals with on stabilization of crude oil-contaminated soil. Industrial waste materials such as GGBFS and fly ash (FA) are used to achieve acceptable results for compaction and strength properties. GGBFS and FA utilized in two groups of soil (clean soil and 6% contaminated with crude oil) with varying proportions of GGBFS and FA by weight of soil. The primary goals of this study explain to establish a conclusion that GGBFS and FA are the best byproduct stabilizer material for increasing the strength and stability of soil by investigating samples of soil. In this study, the effect of GGBFS and FA on compaction properties (OMC and MDD) and direct shear strength (cohesion and angle of friction) observed. Different percentages of GGBFS (0%, 10%, and 15%) and FA (0%, 10%, and 15%) by dry weight were utilized in mixtures of sandy soil samples for different experiments. Ultimately, bases on the experimental results, it is summarized that the use of industrial wastes, i.e. GGBFS and Flyash, are affected in shear strength and compaction properties. Although, they have environment-friendly behavior for the construction project purpose.

Authors: Hama Ali Hunar F. , Hama Rash Ahmed J. , Hama kareem Madeh I. , Muhedin Daban A.
Published: May 2020

This paper addresses the correlation between the liquid and/or plastic limits with the compaction characteristics, maximum dry density, and optimum moisture content (OMC), for fine-grained soils. In the previous studies, several attempts have been made to identify these two important parameters from other simple soil properties such as index soil properties. Some concluded that liquid limit shows a good correlation with compaction characteristics, while others observed that plastic limit does. In this work, many soil samples have been taken from various locations around Koya city and the required tests have been carried out. The results have been illustrated to identify whether soil index properties can correlate with the compaction characteristics. It is concluded that neither plastic limit nor liquid limit can provide an adequate correlation with maximum dry density and OMC. Contrary to the literature, liquid limit provides better correlations.

Negative pressure pulmonary edema due to endotracheal tube bite in a patient who could not be placed guedel oropharyngeal airway before extubation.
Authors: HOŞTEN Tülay , SEREZ Buket Yıldız
Published: May 2020

Background: Acute negative pressure pulmonary edema is a
complication that usually occurs shortly after extubation in patients receiving
general anesthesia. It may
also occur due to the bite of the endotracheal tube prior extubation.Case presentation: A
52-year-old male patient was scheduled for ventriculoperitoneal shunt operation.
General anesthesia was applied. Respiratory and hemodynamic variables were
stable during surgery. At the end of the surgery, anesthetic drugs were
discontinued, the lumen of the endotracheal tube and oropharynx were aspirated.
When oropharyngeal airway was placed the patient bit and occluded his endotracheal
tube, and began exerting breathing effort. Rapid desaturation was observed and
pink foamy secretion came through the endotracheal tube. Bilateral diffuse
crackles were present. A chest X-ray revealed bilateral pulmonary edema. The
patient was transferred to the intensive care unit, sedation was applied and
volume controlled positive pressure mechanical ventilation was started. The
patient was extubated at the 12th postoperative hour and sent to the
ward on the third postoperative day. Discussion: The extubation plan should be done well. Aspiration
and extubation should be performed either under deep anesthesia or when the
patient is fully awake. Oropharyngeal airway should be placed under adequate
depth of anesthesia before extubation. Although oropharyngeal airway reduces the risk of biting of the endotracheal
tube and subsequent development of negative pressure pulmonary edema, it may
not prevent it completely. In negative pressure pulmonary edema treatment,
invasive or non-invasive mechanical ventilation may be preferred depending on
the severity of obstruction and degree of hypoxia. Early diagnosis and
treatment of negative pressure pulmonary edema is life-saving.

Authors: Venugopal R. Bovilla  , Chaitra Rai  , Mahadevaswamy G. Kuruburu  , SubbaRao V. Madhunapantula
Published: May 2020

Incidence of breast cancer in the age group of 30 to 50 is increasing at an alarming rate globally. Moreover, existing treatments are either marginally effective or resistance developed, hence development of safe and potent pharmacological agents is immediately required. However, establishment of a disease progression marker for early detection, development of safe and effective treatment agents requires identification of key proteins that are exclusively expressed in advanced malignant breast tumors. 2-Dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DGE) is one of the early methods used for the identification of deregulated proteins in cancers. Therefore, the proteins of benign andmalignant tumors as well as breast cancer cell lines MCF-7, SKBR-3 and MDAMB- 468, were subjected to 2-DGE and relative expression calculated. Analysis of the data showed a significant increase in the intensity of 7 protein spots compared to malignant tissues and benign ones. Further, comparison of cell line proteins with tissue lysates revealed that SKBR-3 is much closer to malignant tumors, hence, may be considered for screening drug targets as well as for evaluating the efficacy of pharmacological agents. In conclusion, our 2-DGE identified key differences and similarities in the expression of proteins between breast cancer cell lines, benign and malignant tissues.

To See a World in a Grain of Sand: Review of Legate (2014)
Authors: Chen Yen-Hsin
Published: May 2020

Voice and v is an investigation of the syntax of an understudied Western Austronesian language, Acehnese, with a particular interest in its implications for the theory of verb phrase structure under the framework of the Minimalist Program. Since Pylkkänen's seminal article, the idea that the functional projection of verb phrases involves two distinct layers—a higher one (that is, Voice) that is responsible for introducing the external thematic role and Case-licensing the internal argument, and a lower one (that is, v) that is responsible for introducing causative semantics and verbalizing the root—has been advanced in a series of works under the Minimalist Program. This book presents novel evidence for this hypothesis based on an in-depth analysis of Acehnese passive, object voice, and causative constructions. Building on the empirical observations from Acehnese, the book makes further explorations of the syntactic typology of passives and causatives, on which the Acehnese data shed light. It contributes not only to the description and analysis of an understudied language, but also to the cross-linguistic understanding of the different flavors of Voice and the architecture of verb phrase structures.

Майстер Экхарт и вопросы лингвофилософии языка
Authors: Аликаев Р.С. , Аликаева Л.С. , Тогузаева М.Р.
Published: May 2020

В отечественной лингвистике практически отсутствуют исследования по языку схоластики и мистики. Имеющиеся редкие публикации посвящены вопросам словообразовательных моделей в лексике данного направления, общим вопросам теософии схоластики и мистики, отдельным лексемам мистических текстов. В то же время изучение текстов представителей немецкой мистики, которые являлись продуктом устной творчества, сложившихся в результате сложного взаимодействия с латинским языком западной схоластики, представляют особый интерес в аспекте лингвофилософского осмысления языковых реалий и их влияния на лингвофилософские концепции нового времени. В статье рассматриваются рассуждения доминиканца Мастера Экхарта, представителя рейнской мистической школы, о сути языка, автономии языка, языке как неисчерпаемом богатстве бытия, языке как рождении слова в душе, соотношении материального звука языка и слова как его референции, взаимосвязях языка и познания, вещи и представления, значения и звучания языкового элемента. В статье отмечается, что язык у мистиков, в отличие от современного представления о нем, не может быть автономной сущностью. Он не творит сам по себе «чисто языковое» значение, но открывает и познаёт всего-навсего созданную Богом форму вещи и подобным образом полученное познание транслирует (выражает) наружу. Языковое значение для Экхарта даже в его самой слабой и упрощенной форме как внешнее слово выступает все ёще отблеск изначальной божественной идеи, хотя может быть и в достаточно завуалированной форме. Для Экхарта речь, творимая Богом, означает введение духовных форм в мёртвую материю и тем самым создание упорядоченного мира отличающихся различными формами реальных вещей. При этом основная функция божественного языка видится в дистинктивной роли (rerum distinctio) или, говоря другими словами, в создании порядка Вселенной (или упорядоченного мира). В трудах мистика Экхарта в понимание сути языка и его составляющих продолжены в целом традиции средневековой схоластики, а язык самой мистики стоит обособленно, где важную роль играет не звучащая речь.
To Create a CO2 Emission Reduction Scenario of a Mass Housing Settlement in Isparta, Turkey until 2050
Authors: SÜMER HAYDARASLAN Kübra , YAŞAR Yalçın
Published: May 2020

Energy plans are at the center
of countries' development plans. The share of buildings in energy consumption
is about 40%. Energy consumption in buildings can be reduced by 25-45% with the
measures taken. The European Union has published the Energy Performance
Directive on Buildings (EPBD) to reduce the energy consumption of buildings.
European Union member and candidate countries are obliged to fulfill the
provisions of the regulation. Turkey is among the candidate countries for
accession to the European Union (EU). Therefore, the energy consumption of the
existing buildings and the reduction of CO2 emissions were examined in
this study. Since The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicts
that global temperatures will increase by a range of 1.1°C to 6.4°C by the end
of the twenty-first century, future climate data were also taken into
consideration in this study. For the study, measures were determined to achieve
the EU's total CO2 emission reduction targets. A mass housing
settlement built by the Housing Development Administration (TOKİ) in Isparta
has been identified as the study area. Improving the heating systems of these
buildings, increasing the energy performance of the building envelope and the
production of electricity with photovoltaic (PV) panels were studied in this
study. As a result of the study, it was determined that it has 66% CO2
emissions in 2020, 79% in 2030, and 84% less in 2050 compared to 1990.

Published: May 2020

In the present day scenario, designing a circuit with low power has become very important and challenging task. The designing of any processor for portable devices demands low power. This can be achieved by incorporating low power design strategies and rules at various stages of design. To increase the performance of portable devices, the power backup should be taken in consideration, which is extremely desirable from the users prospective. As we approaches towards the sub-micron technology the requirement of low power devices increases significantly. But at the same time leakage current and dynamic power dissipation play a vital role to diminish the performance of portable devices. This paper presents techniques to reduce the power dissipation and various methodologies to increase the speed of device. That is very beneficial for designing of future VLSI circuits.

Boron, Titanium and boron – titaniumaustenitic stainless steel alloys were developed to be used as a nuclear reactor shielding material. Three grades of steel alloys with base composition of AISI316 but having either Ti or B or Ti and B (SS316Ti, SS316B and SS316TiB) were designed and produced using 30 kg pilot plant medium frequency induction furnace at the same conditions. Samples of the properly treated steels were subjected to microstructure observation, hardness, tensile and impact testing. The microstructure observation revealed an austenitic phase in all investigated steel alloys. Among the investigated steels, the lowest corrosion rate was found in the modified steel containing B. The macroscopic-cross sections for neutrons > 10 keV, slow, and total slow neutrons were carried out using 241Am-Be neutron source. The developed boron and boron-titanium stainless steel alloys were found to have higher cross sections for neutrons > 10 keV, slow, and total slow neutrons than SS316 while the modified Ti- stainless steel has lower values for slow neutrons and neutrons > 10 keV than the standard stainless steel SS316. Moreover, the associated neutron half value layer (HVL) was calculated for each sample. Additionally, gamma ray shielding properties were performed for several gamma ray energies that emitted from 232Th radioactive source.

Nowadays plastics have become one of the main construction materials with a wide range of use in product design as well as construction industry of medium or large elements including buildings. Elements like pipes’ and cables insulation, storage tanks, skylights, roofing, windows and doors, insulation and temporary structures can be made entirely, partly or as a bonding compound in new material mixes like WPCs wood plastic composites, carbon or natural fiber reinforced plastic. Material of this study has a vast application in the field of tensile structures construction or tents in smaller scale. One of the most common uses of plastic in the building construction is insulation of large surfaces such are walls, roofs or floors that can come in different forms commonly in foam which amounts can be adjusted to fit any form, in a prefabricated form like SIP panels as well as to securely insulate smaller details like pipes or cables. It is frequently used in the timing of the exterior building planes too. A rife problem is allergies from raw organic material objects and building components like down, sisal, cotton, coir, sea grass, etc. that can cause serious sequels like asthma, eyes and other mucous maladies can be completely eliminated with synthetic plastic-based materials-nylon, polyester, and polypropylene. This paper intends to stream how different plastic-based materials can help attain sustainable position in modern contemporary architecture.

Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) is one of multiferroic material group, but it is difficult to produce BiFeO3 in single phase as multiferroic material because it occurs leakage of current arising from non stoichiometric. So, to minimize it, it has already been engineering processed to synthesis BiFeO3 doped by Mg to produce Bi0.9Mg0.1FeO3 and Bi0.93Mg0.07FeO3. It used sol-gel method to produce the ceramics. The result of TGA/DTA(Thermo Gravimetric Analysis/Differential Thermal Analysis) test shows that the temperature of calcination is about of 150 and 175oC and temperature of sintering is about of 650oC. Characterization of the powder has already been done by using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) test and electrical properties test. The results of XRD test show that the powder of Bi0.9Mg0.1FeO3has minimum impurities with total oxide of 6.9% (bismite 3.5% and silenite 3.4%) at calcination temperature of 175oC for 4 hours and sintering at 650oC for 6 hours. Meanwhile at same parameter, Bi0.93Mg0.07FeO3 has more oxide phases with total oxide of 14.5% which consists of silenite (2.5%) and Bi2O4 (12%). Presence of oxide phases could cause leakage of current decreasing electrical properties. The values of electrical saturation polarization for ceramic having minimum total oxide (Bi0.9Mg0.1FeO3) is higher than ceramic having more oxide (Bi0.93Mg0.07FeO3). The value of electric saturation polarization for Bi0.9Mg0.1FeO3 is of 0.26 kv/cm and for Bi0.93Mg0.07FeO3 is of 0.11 kV/cm.

Published: May 2020

During welding, the heat produced during the process can affect the microhardness and the microstructure of the material. The change in the microstructure and the microhardness can be discovered by carrying out a microhardness test on the welded sample and compare changes in the three different zones i.e the base, the weld and the Heat affected zone or by carrying out a micro structural examination on the welded sample and see the grain dispersion in relation to their sizes. In this work, weld quality of manual arc welded samples of low-carbon steel St3spdestined for bridge construction to be used in Cameroon has been investigated. After a chemical analysis of the material, a micro hardness test and a micro structural examination was also done. Results show that a composition of pearlite and ferrite was seen with the print of the id enter of the micro hardness test. The formation of pearlite and ferrite in base metalis composed of 20/80 respectively. For weld zone and HAZ it changes due to thermal processes. So the microstructure analysis shows that the base metal is a ferrite and pearlite having a grain size of 11-12 on a scale corresponding to an average grain diameter ≈ 7 microns. The structure of the weld metal is also made up of ferrite and pearlite with columnar crystals of cast metal. The HAZ is made up of Widmanstätten. The width of the HAZ zone is about 1,5 mm. In different areas of heat affected zone is observed fine-grained ferrite-pearlite structure with a high degree of dispersion.
