Authors: Глушко  , Glushko Sergey , Галиуллин  , Galiullin Ilfir
Published: March 2017

The article examines the possibility of forecasting the spring wheat the productivity according to the content of mobile forms of phosphorus, potassium, applied amount of mineral and organic fertilizers. Deviation of the projected yield from actual comes to 31%, and the forecasting yield of the moving average drops to 4.6%. During the observation period the spring wheat productivity increased from 11.6 to 18.7 kilogram per hectare, an increase was 7.1 tons per hectare with an average yield of 17.4 tons per hectare. The productivity of spring wheat exhibits a very unstable value, which is evidenced by the high variation coefficient - 43.3%. There is a positive correlation between security soil by phosphorus, potassium and spring wheat yield. It is positive according to phosphorus for the actual and derivative wheat yield, the higher rates of coefficients was according U11. Potassium also has a positive association with yield. However, the correlation coefficients of potassium are higher (0.57-0.0.94), than of phosphorus (0.50-0.84). This fact suggests, that potassium in macroelement is more scarce, than phosphorus. Apparently, this feature of mobile potassium is manifested by solubility characteristics of the potassium compounds in aqueous medium, despite a sufficient amount of its gross shapes in soils. Studies prove once again, that the basis of of productivity formation is security by nutrient macroelements and peculiarities of economic activities. In addition to more accurately actual spring wheat yield it is necessary to attract agro-climatic indicators. The projections data are also a good tool for assessing the economic activity of individual districts, regions, and land users of different levels.

Published: March 2017

The studies, conducted in 2012-2013, showed that pre-sowing seed treatment by fungicides, biological products and micro fertilizers had a positive impact on the formation of grain yield of Ulov and Gunter varieties of oats. The experiments were carried out on cespitose-medium-podzolic, medium-loamy soil. During the research meteorological conditions evolved differently. As for temperature and moisture conditions for oat growth and development, 2012 year was more favorable. The vegetation period of 2013 was characterized by a relatively hot and dry weather. Seed pre-treatment of Ulov oat variety by zinc sulfate provided yield of 2.12 tons per hectare, which was 0.50 tons per hectare or 31% higher, than the yield in the embodiment, where the seeds were not treated. Grain yield of Gunter oats variety at preplant seed treatment with a mixture of micronutrients was significantly increased by 0.42 tons per hectare or 22%, compared to the yield in the control variant (without treatment). It is found, that the yield of Ulov oats variety has a panicle the number of grains positive strong correlation (r = 0,78). Yield of Gunter oats variety has a total number of plants to harvest a positive correlation (r = 0,61).

Cel pracy

Omawiane w artykule badanie miało na celu identyfikacje barier w dostępie do poradni na terenie dużej i małej miejscowości.

Metoda

W badaniach została wykorzystana metodologia jakościowa. Techniką badawczą był wywiad swobodny ze standaryzowaną listą poszukiwanych informacji. Wywiady były prowadzone z osobami uzależnionymi i terapeutami. Przeprowadzono 64 wywiady w dwóch poradniach zlokalizowanych w Warszawie i małej miejscowości.

Wyniki

Badani identyfikowali podobne bariery w dostępie do leczenia w poradniach zlokalizowanych w Warszawie i małym mieście. Był to wstyd, jaki wiąże się z podejmowaniem leczenia z powodu picia, czas oczekiwania na terapię w warunkach stacjonarnych, intensywność odbywania się zajęć, złe warunki lokalowe. Bariery identyfikowane tylko przez badanych z Warszawy związane były z długim czasem oczekiwania na terapię w poradni ambulatoryjnej oraz na spotkania indywidualne, ofertą terapeutyczną wykluczającą uczestnictwo w terapii osób głuchych i chorych psychicznie, nieatrakcyjnym programem terapeutycznym wymagającym bezwzględnego utrzymywania abstynencji. Bariery w dostępie do leczenia identyfikowane tylko przez badanych z małej miejscowości odnosiły się do braku anonimowości leczenia związanego ze zbyt małą liczbą poradni w powiecie, skutkującą ograniczeniem wyboru miejsca leczenia, czasu i kosztów dojazdu do placówki, długości trwania terapii oraz ograniczonej współpracy międzyinstytucjonalnej.

Wnioski

Zidentyfikowane bariery były podobne do barier zidentyfikowanych w badaniach prowadzonych w Polsce w latach ’90 i pod koniec pierwszej dekady XXI w. Miały charakter barier psychologicznych związanych z wewnętrznymi zahamowaniami i obawami uzależnionego przed podjęciem terapii oraz strukturalny dotyczący organizacji leczenia w poradni.
Sexual problems in homo- and bisexual men – the context of the issue
Authors: Grabski Bartosz , Kasparek Krzysztof
Published: February 2017

Celem pracy jest omówienie szczególnego kontekstu występowania problemów seksualnych o charakterze dysfunkcji seksualnych w populacji mężczyzn homo- i biseksualnych. Problemy seksualne i ich ujawnienie stanowią dla mężczyzn z reguły trudne doświadczenie. W przypadku mężczyzn homo- i biseksualnych dodatkowe czynniki psychologiczne
i społeczne mogą przyczyniać się do pojawiania się tych problemów, potęgować szczególnie bolesne ich doświadczanie, ale też utrudniać zwrócenie się i uzyskanie adekwatnej pomocy.
Czynniki te związane są ze specyficznymi cechami seksualności gejowskiej, którymi jest na przykład brak oczywistych skryptów seksualnych dla mężczyzn homoseksualnych, pełna odwracalność wszystkich ról i pozycji seksualnych w kontaktach pomiędzy dwoma mężczyznami, czy niewystępowanie lęku przed niechcianą ciążą oraz szczególnym kontekstem psychospołecznym, na który składa się między innymi problematyka stresu mniejszościowego i zinternalizowanej homofobii. Świadomość występowania wspomnianych czynników może pomóc klinicystom – psychiatrom, seksuologom oraz psychologom – w skuteczniejszym niesieniu profesjonalnej pomocy tej grupie pacjentów, wolnej od uprzedzeń, opartej o pogłębioną refleksję i pozbawionej automatycznego przenoszenia doświadczeń z pracy z mężczyznami heteroseksualnymi.
The influence of early psychosocial intervention on the long-term clinical outcomes of people suffering from schizophrenia
Authors: Cechnicki Andrzej , Bielańska Anna
Published: February 2017

Cel pracy

Porównanie wyników leczenia dwóch grup pacjentów z diagnozą schizofrenii wg DSM-CR IV, leczonych w Środowiskowym lub Indywidualnym Programie Leczenia (ŚPL vs. IPL). Oceny dokonano po pierwszej hospitalizacji, a następnie po trzech i dwunastu latach.

Metoda

Grupa ŚPL (eksperymentalna) i IPL (tradycyjna) zostały dobrane w podziale losowym po 40 osób. Wszystkie trzy badania wykonało 67 osób (84%). Grupy nie różniły się pod względem demograficzno-społecznych i klinicznych czynników rokowniczych. Pierwsze trzy lata grupa ŚPL uczestniczyła w leczeniu dziennym, psychoedukacji dla rodzin i pacjentów oraz leczeniu środowiskowym. W kolejnych latach program objął obie grupy. Wykorzystano Kwestionariusz Anamnestyczny i Katamnestyczny, skalę GAF, BPRS LA, Kwestionariusz Jakości Życia Lehmanna.

Wyniki

Korzystny, średni wynik GAF, dopiero po dwunastu latach był istotnie większy dla grupy ŚPL (p=0,036), podobnie jak korzystne typy przebiegu choroby z remisją wg Watta i Shepherda (p=0,038). Różnice w liczbie nawrotów były istotnie korzystniejsze dla ŚPL też tylko po dwunastu latach (p=0,045), podobnie jak liczba rehospitalizacji (p=0,013). Istotnie mniejsze, ogólne nasilenie objawów w ŚPL oceniono po trzech (p=0,008) i dwunastu latach (p=0,030) a w syndromie pozytywnym tylko po trzech latach (p=0,044).

Wnioski

1. Po dwunastu latach od pierwszej hospitalizacji stwierdzono więcej korzystnych różnic w grupie leczonej w psychospołecznym programie od pierwszej hospitalizacji niż w momencie zakończenia eksperymentu. 2. Opóźnianie psychospołecznego leczenia w pierwszych trzech latach chorowania wiąże się z gorszym odległym, klinicznym przebiegiem schizofrenii.

Cel pracy

Środowiskowe Domy Samopomocy i Warsztaty Terapii Zajęciowej działają w Polsce od ponad dwudziestu lat. Jednak jak dotąd nie zbadano efektywności stosowanych tam programów rehabilitacyjnych oraz charakterystyk uczestników tych placówek.
Celem prezentowanego badania było określenie poziomu funkcjonowania społecznego oraz efektywności sieci wsparcia społecznego uczestników WTZ oraz ŚDS.

Metoda

Narzędzia badawcze: GAS [10,11], Ocena Otoczenia i Oparcia Społecznego[4], Skala Funkcjonowania Społecznego [9], Kwestionariusz Socjodemograficzny.

Wyniki

Otrzymane wyniki pokazują, że badane grupy (poza wiekem uczestników) w zasadzie nie różnią się między sobą pod względem zmiennych społecznodemograficznych i parametrów przebiegu choroby. Istotne różnice dotyczyły natomiast liczebności jakości sieci wsparcia społecznego oraz poziomu funkcjonowania.

Wnioski

Analizowane placówki wsparcia mają inne cele i oferują odmienne programy wsparcia co przekłada się na różnice w budowanych sieciach wsparcia oraz poziomie funkcjonowania społecznego. Może mieć to związek z tym, iż naczelnym celem Warsztatów Terapii Zajęciowej jest aktywizacja i pomoc w powrocie na rynek pracy, Środowiskowe Domy Samopomocy są natomiast zorientowane w większym stopniu na pomoc w bieżącym funkcjonowaniu oraz zapobieganie hospitalizacjom. Podczas kierowania osób chorujących do tych programów warto pamiętać o ich specyfice i celach działania.

Authors: Kochański Artur , Cechnicki Andrzej
Published: February 2017

Cel pracy

Celem: pracy było zbadanie opinii polskich psychiatrów wobec osób chorujących psychicznie i porównanie ich z analogicznymi badaniami w populacji ogólnej.

Metoda

Badaną grupą byli polscy psychiatrzy. Zastosowano sondaż diagnostyczny wykorzystując kwestionariusz do samodzielnego wypełnienia. Analizie poddano 232 ankiety..

Wyniki

Wyniki porównano z populacją ogólną. 61,5% respondentów (59% w populacji ogólnej) uważa, że osoba, która zachorowała psychicznie ma szanse na wyzdrowienie a 79% (v. 77%), że przymus w polskiej psychiatrii stosowany jest odpowiednio często. 95% (v.75%) zaliczyło choroby psychiczne do problemów zdrowotnych, które ukrywa się przed innymi. 43% (v. 56%) uważa, że przebyta choroba psychiczna ogranicza istotnie zdolność do wykonywania pracy zarobkowej, 13,5% (v 30%), że zespołowej a 33% (v 71%), że ogranicza pracę wymagającą dużej samodzielności. 16% (22%) wyraża sprzeciw, aby w pobliżu ich miejsca zamieszkania znalazły się placówki dla osób chorujących psychicznie. Psychiatrzy częściej deklarowali bliską znajomość z osobami chorującymi psychicznie (87,5% v. 32% ), oraz życzliwy stosunek do osób chorujących psychicznie i ich uczestnictwa w życiu społecznym (86,5% v. 65%).

Wnioski

1. Stosunkowo duża grupa badanych psychiatrów w porównaniu z populacją ogólną posiada członka rodziny chorującego psychicznie lub sama jest osobą chorującą psychicznie. 2. Polscy psychiatrzy, pomimo wykształcenia i misji zawodowej, prezentują podobnie stygmatyzujące postawy wobec osób chorujących psychicznie co populacja ogólna. 3. Poprzez swoje postawy polscy psychiatrzy współtworzą system wsparcia, ale również uczestniczą w procesie stygmatyzacji.
Psychotic symptoms as a complication of electroconvulsive therapy – a case report
Authors: Antosik-Wójcińska Anna , Chojnacka Magdalena , Święcicki Łukasz
Published: February 2017

We report a patient who experienced atypical symptoms in the course of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). During ECT treatment patient experienced psychotic symptoms which should be differentiated with prolonged delirium and nonconvulsive status epilepticus. 46-year-old female was referred to hospital with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder with no psychotic features in the course of recurrent depression. Despite several changes of pharmacological treatment no improvement was achieved, therefore it was decided to initiate ECT. Physical and neurological examination revealed no deviations from the norm. The results of other tests (CT and EEG) were normal. 4 bilateral, bitemporal ECT procedures were performed. The course of each procedure was typical, the same doses of anesthetic medication and pulse dose was administered throughout all of the procedures. The duration of seizure was 32–40 s. Despite this mental symptoms observed during the course of the treatment differed from known to the authors from both their own experience and from literature. Delusions of reference, persecution, agitation, oneiric delusions and olfactory hallucinations which appeared after the 4th ECT session maintained for 14 days and resolved after treatment with olanzapine. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on delusions of reference and persecution, oneiric delusions and olfactory hallucinations associated with the course of ECT.

Cel pracy

Celem badania było poszukiwanie czynników związanych z większym nasileniem objawów lęku i depresji w grupie kobiet doświadczających przemocy w związku intymnym.

Metoda

Badanie przeprowadzono w sześciu losowo dobranych ośrodkach Podstawowej Opieki Zdrowotnej w województwie lubelskim. Zastosowano Szpitalną Skalę Lęku i Depresji (HADS) oraz ustrukturyzowany kwestionariusz konstrukcji własnej. Do badania włączono 350 zgłaszających się kolejno do lekarza rodzinnego kobiet. Od 200 z nich uzyskano kompletnie uzupełniony zestaw narzędzi badawczych. Doświadczenie przemocy w związku intymnym potwierdziły 102 (51%) kobiety, które stanowiły właściwą grupę badaną. Zastosowano metodę regresji wielorakiej postępującej wstecznie do stworzenia czterofazowych modeli związku między różnego typu niezależnymi zmiennymi a występowaniem objawów lęku i depresji u kobiet doświadczających przemocy w związku.

Wyniki

68% badanych uzyskało pozytywny wynik w podskali lęku, a 56% pozytywny wynik w podskali depresji HADS. Zamieszkiwanie na wsi lub w małym mieście było związane z istotnie wyższymi wynikami w podskali lęku (b=−1,18, p=0,003), ale nie z wynikami w podskali depresji HADS. Rozpoznanie somatycznej choroby przewlekłej (b=2,42, p=0,013; b=2,86, p=0,015), status bezrobotnego (b=0,58, p=0,024; b=0,69, p=0,008), oraz doświadczanie przemocy ekonomicznej (b=3,97, p<0,001; b=3,88, p=0,001) było związane z uzyskaniem wyższych wyników w obu podskalach HADS. Otrzymywanie pomocy finansowej (b=2,67, p=0,002; b=2,68, p=0,003) okazało się czynnikiem protekcyjnym zarówno dla wystąpienia objawów depresji jak i lęku w badanej grupie. Doświadczanie przemocy fizycznej wiązało się z uzyskiwaniem wyższych wyników w podskali depresji (b=3,09, p=0,005), ale nie podskali lęku HADS.

Wnioski

Rodzaj doznawanej przemocy i czynniki socjoekonomiczne silniej niż zmienne demograficzne wiązały się nasileniem objawów lęku i depresji u kobiet doświadczających przemocy w związkach intymnych

Published: February 2017

Celem pracy było podsumowanie informacji dotyczących skuteczności i tolerancji palmitynianiu paliperidonu, atypowego leku przeciwpsychotycznego o przedłużonym działaniu. Paliperidon jest 9-hydroksy metabolitem risperidonu, ale w porównaniu z risperidone charakteryzuje się nieco odrębnym profilem receptorowymi istotnymi różnicami dotyczącymi farmakokinetyki. Przedstawiono dane dotyczące skuteczności palmityniamu paliperidonu w porównaniu do placebo oraz do aktywnego komparatora. Wyniki badań klinicznych wskazują, że palmitynian paliperidonu jest skuteczny w leczeniu zaburzeń psychotycznych, głównie schizofrenii, wykazując znaczną efektywność zarówno w leczeniu ostrych objawów psychotycznych, jak i w leczeniu długoterminowym. Skuteczność palmitynianu paliperidonu u chorych na schizofrenię była podobna, a w niektórych badaniach większa w porównaniu z długo działającymi preparatami risperidonu i olanzapiny. W badaniach farma ko-ekonomicznych palmitynian paliperidonu wykazywał nieco lepsze wskaźniki cost-effectiveness w porównaniu z risperidonem i olanzapiną. Badania oceniające tolerancję leczenia palmitynianem paliperidonu wykazały, że lek był dobrze tolerowany, w porównaniu z placebo. Częstość i nasilenie takich objawów niepożądanych jak objawy pozapiramidowe, hiperprolaktynemia oraz przyrost masy ciała była podobna lub mniejsza od występujących przy leczeniu innymi atypowymi lekami pzeciwpsychotycznymi, w tym preparatami o przedłużonym działaniu.

Published: February 2017

The persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD) may coexist with restless legs syndrome and overactive bladder syndrome and share some similarities with these conditions. Thus, the new term: restless genital syndrome (RGS) is proposed. The purpose of this paper is to present a case of PGAD, including the description of the etiology, the diagnostics and the treatment of the disorder. The described patient meets the criteria for PGAD. Organic lesions within nervous and urogenital system were excluded and the psychogenic background of the syndrome was assumed in this case. The patient was diagnosed with personality disorder with a predominance of dependent personality traits and emotional lability. After the failure of pharmacological treatment, systemic psychotherapy with cognitive-behavioral elements was initiated with moderate effect.

Dynamic Abandon/Extract Decisions for Failed Cardiac Leads
Authors: Khojandi Anahita , Maillart Lisa M. , Prokopyev Oleg A. , Roberts Mark S. , Saba Samir F.
Published: March 2017

When a cardiac lead fails, physicians implant a new lead and may opt to extract the failed lead and/or any previously abandoned leads. Because the risk of extraction increases in lead age, physicians may extract leads to reduce the future risk of mandatory extraction, due to either infection or limited space in the vein. We develop discrete-time semi-Markov decision process models for various types of cardiac devices to determine patient-specific, lifetime-maximizing extraction policies as a function of patient age and the age of every implanted lead. We use clinical data to calibrate these models and present insightful numerical results, including comparisons to policies commonly used in practice. Our numerical experiments suggest that extracting failed leads only when forced to because of space limitations is usually a good rule of thumb, but that following the optimal policy, as opposed to the commonly used heuristic policies, can extend an average patient’s expected lifetime by up to 1.2 years and decrease the likelihood of device-related death by up to 94% in some cases.

Impact of Service Value on Satisfaction and Repurchase Intentions in Business-to-Business Cloud Computing
Authors: Padilla Roland S. , Milton Simon K. , Johnson Lester W. , Nyadzayo Munyaradzi W.
Published: March 2017

Businesses are starting to use several cloud computing services, but we do not know much about how these business-to-business (B2B) customers view the service value that they receive from these services. Service value in the business-to-consumer (B2C) literature has been seen to be made up of four components, all shown to relate to the customer’s satisfaction and intention to repurchase. In this current paper, we examine whether these same four components can be used in a model explaining satisfaction and repurchase intention for B2B cloud computing services. We describe a two-step research project consisting of (1) a set of exploratory interviews and (2) a questionnaire survey of 328 information technology (IT) managers. The interview step resulted in confirmation of the existing four components of service value from the B2C literature. We also uncovered a fifth component that we have called cloud service governance. We then developed a survey instrument to measure these five service value dimensions as well as satisfaction and intention to repurchase. We used structural equation modeling (SEM) to estimate a structural model that linked the perceptions of these service value components to customer satisfaction and repurchase intentions. Our results will enable B2B customers to better understand the components of service value in cloud services, and cloud service vendors will be able to measure how well their services are leading to value and satisfaction for their customers.
The impact of medical technology on sense of security in the palliative home care setting
Authors: Munck Berit , Sandgren Anna
Published: March 2017

The increase in the use of medical devices in palliative home care requires that patients and next-of-kin feel secure. Therefore, the aim was to describe medical technology's impact on the sense of security for patients, next-of-kin and district nurses. Deductive content analysis was conducted on data from three previous studies, using the theoretical framework ‘palliative home care as a secure base’. The use of medical technology was shown to have an impact on the sense of security for all involved. A sense of control was promoted by trust in staff and their competence in managing the technology, which was linked to continuity. Inner peace and being in comfort implied effective symptom relief facilitated by pain pumps and being relieved of responsibility. Health care professionals need to have practical knowledge about medical technology, but at the same time have an awareness of how to create and maintain a sense of security.
Are specially trained midwives the right professionals to perform the newborn physical examination?
Authors: Osborne Kate
Published: March 2017

The newborn infant physical examination (NIPE) is a screening tool and holistic assessment of the newborn, and abnormalities detected are referred as per individual Trust procedures. The extension of the role of the midwife has enabled specially trained midwives to undertake the NIPE, which had previously been the exclusive remit of medical practitioners. However, the clinical effectiveness of midwives in this role has not been measured in a robust manner. The introduction of the NIPE SMART tool should facilitate comprehensive and systematic audit of clinical effectiveness of practitioners in conducting NIPE, and standardisation of the examination and documentation. Even so, the eligibility criteria to have NIPE undertaken by a midwife varies between NHS Trusts, and calls for standardisation of such criteria have remained unanswered.
A better start for Bradford?
Authors: Marriott Stephanie
Published: March 2017

Bradford was one of five areas across the UK successful in a bid for funding from the Big Lottery Fund's A Better Start initiative.

The £49 million funding that Bradford won is being used to further develop 22 projects to improve the social and emotional development, communication and language development, and health and nutrition of children aged 0–3 years. One of these projects is a 3-year pilot of a personalised midwifery care team. Using a ‘buddy’ system, the midwifery team aims for the named midwife or buddy to provide 90% of all antenatal and postnatal midwifery care. Each midwife has a maximum caseload of 60 women and is, therefore, able to offer an enhanced care package, individualised to each woman's needs. The pilot began in October 2015 and the learning from this model of care is being fed into the local discussions about the National Maternity Review.

Published: March 2017

Ética e filosofia guardam profunda correlação. A visão do homem como um ser social e histórico é uma concepção filosófica que representa o fundamento da ética. Os conceitos de liberdade, necessidade, valor, consciência, são objeto de estudo da ética e são antecedidos de uma explicação filosófica. As relações humanas em sociedade também dizem respeito à ética, cuja inserção nesse contexto se dá através da sociabilidade. São os parâmetros sociais adotados por determinada sociedade que irão nortear a vida do indivíduo e lhe permitir conviver com outras pessoas.
CALCULATIONS OF ION TRAJECTORIES AT MAGNETOPLASMA SEPARATION AND EXPERIMENTS WITH POLYATOMIC GASES
Authors: Yuferov Vladimir , Shariy Sergey , Tkachova Tetiana , Katrechko Vyacheslav , Svichkar Alexander , Ilichova Vira , Shvets Mykhailo , Mufel Evgen
Published: March 2017

Calculated trajectories of ions with different masses, indicating the possibility of a mixture separation, are obtained. Comparative experiments for plasma of monatomic and polyatomic gases (Ar, N2, CO2), upon combination of pulsed discharge with a stationary one with incandescent cathode, are carried out. The oscillograms of discharge current and voltage at low emission currents and a constant energy input show that energy is spent on other processes different from ionization. With an increase of emission current, the nonlinear character of the discharge current and voltage, which may be indicative of the role of dissociation and vibrational levels in energy consumption, is observed. In addition, there is connection between the number of atoms in molecule and the values of maximum discharge current and the pressure of injected gas.
MICROSCOPIC FEATURES OF CEMENT PASTE MODIFIED BY FINE PERLITE
Authors: Hrbek Vladimír , Koudelková Veronika , Padevět Pavel , Šašek Petr
Published: March 2017

The use of waste material and replacement of binder element in cementitious composites is in focus of material development. Perlite in the construction industry is usually used in form of lightweight aggregate enhancing the insulating performance of concrete. This paper focuses on integration of fine perlite into the cement matrix and possible replacement of the cement binder in the composition of the material. The macromechanical performance of the modified paste is tested on specimens with 5, 10, 15 and 20% fine perlite substitution and pure cement sample. To distinguish the effect of the perlite on the microstructural level, pure cement material and specimen containing 10% of fine perlite are investigated by the electron microscopy. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of individual phases are examined and compared on same samples by instrumented indentation. The presented results enabled estimation of fine perlite impact on the macro and microscopic performance of the material.
VALIDATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF FAILURE PARAMETERS IN INTEGRATED SIMULATIONS FOR SHORT FIBRE REINFORCED POLYPROPYLENE
Authors: Kalteis Anna , Reiter Martin , Jerabek Michael , Major Zoltán
Published: March 2017

Nowadays short fibre reinforced polymers are often used in load carrying structural parts. Compared to continuous fibre reinforced polymers they exhibit a more complex morphology. Hence the determination of the strength is a difficult but important task. Therefore this was the objective of this research. The strength of short fibre reinforced polymers was numerically determined for low-speed to high-speed strain rates for specimens with different fibre orientations. For the failure modelling the micromechanical approach “First pseudo grain failure” in Digimat was used. The parameters for the material and failure description were determined with the reverse engineering method. Integrated finite element simulations
were performed to validate the material and failure models by tensile and bending tests with different specimens. The comparison of the results of the experiments and simulations showed low deviation.
PERFORMANCE OF STEEL FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE – COMPARABILITY OF TESTS ACCORDING TO DAFSTB-GUIDELINE "STAHLFASERBETON" AND EN 14651
Authors: Anders Steffen , Schovenberg Melanie
Published: March 2017

For the determination of the performance of steel-fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC), the post-peak flexural strengths are used. In different national and European standards, different test-setups are defined, resulting in double efforts for testing for the manufacturers. In addition, the German national guideline "Stahlfaserbeton (DAfStb)" on SFRC is well established European-wide, but the test standard is specifically national, demanding a four-point-bending tests using unnotched beams. Contrarily, the European standard EN 14651 as well as the Model Code 2010 demand three-point bending tests using notched specimens. Applying the national guideline is obligatory in Germany for structural use of SFRC. Therefore, it is essential to standardize the performance evaluation of SFRC based on commonly applied international guidelines. In the following, an approach is presented especially dealing with the problem of random occurrence of cracks in the four-point-bending tests. It is shown, that neglecting the point of crack can systematically under-estimate the performance of SFRC especially at deformations.
On HPM approximation for the perihelion preces-sion angle in general relativity
Authors: Shchigolev Victor , Bezbatko Dmitrii
Published: February 2017

In this paper, the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is applied for calculating the perihelion precession angle of planetary orbits in General Relativity. The HPM is quite efficient and is practically well suited for use in many astrophysical and cosmological problems. For our purpose, we applied HPM to the approximate solutions for the orbits in order to calculate the perihelion shift. On the basis of the main idea of HPM, we construct the appropriate homotopy that leads to the problem of solving the set of linear algebraic equations. As a result, we obtain a simple formula for the angle of precession avoiding any restrictions on the smallness of physical parameters. First of all, we consider the simple examples of the Schwarzschild metric and the Reissner - NordstrÃ¶m spacetime of a charged star for which the approximate geodesics solutions are known. Furthermore, the implementation of HPM has allowed us to readily obtain the precession angle for the orbits in the gravitational field of Kiselev black hole.

Background: Recurrent insulin-induced hypoglycemia (RIIH) is an avoidable consequence in the therapeutic management of diabetes mellitus. RIIH has been implicated in causing hypertension through an increase in renal and systemic AngII production.Objective: The present study was performed to assess the hypothesis that chronic insulin treatment enhances AngII and COX2 formation which in turn increases (pro) renin receptor (PRR) expression and NADPH oxidase-mediated oxidative stress, leading to renal and cardiac injury.Methods: The present studies were conducted in Male Sprague Dawley rats treated with daily subcutaneous injections of 7u/kg insulin or saline for 14 days. On the 14th day, surgery was performed for treatment infusion (captopril 12mg/kg, NS398 0.3mg/kg or vehicle), and renal interstitial fluid sample and urine collections for biomarker measurements. At the end of the experiments, kidneys and hearts were harvested to evaluate PRR and NOX2 (NADPH oxidase subunit) expression and oxidative stress.Results: We found that RIIH enhanced AngII and COX2 activity, leading to renal PRR expression and NADPH oxidase-induced oxidative stress in the heart and kidney. 8-isoprostane was evaluated as a renal biomarker of oxidative stress, which was induced in insulin treated animals and modulated by captopril and NS398. In addition, there was a slight increase in NGAL, a urinary biomarker of acute kidney injury (AKI), in insulin treated animals when compared to control.Conclusion: These results demonstrate that RIIH induces renal PRR expression and oxidative stress through increasing AngII and COX2 in the heart and kidney, leading to end-organ damage.

Authors: Serna Gabriel R. , Cohen Joshua M. , Nguyen David H. K.
Published: February 2017

In this article, we examine policies related to in-state resident tuition and state financial aid policies aimed at undocumented students. To help frame the discussion and spark further debate and research in this area the article seeks to do three things. First, it provides a comprehensive review of state and institutional in-state tuition policies aimed at undocumented students as well as state college or university system responses. Second, it charts the policy landscape for state financial aid access for this population. Third, it examines the numerous implications that such policies engender and highlights the role of the federal government and the proposed Dream Act in mitigating some of these concerns. It closes by underscoring the important financial role played by the critical interaction of state, institutional, and federal policies in making college going a reality for these students while proposing avenues for future study around the issue.
Coign of vantage and action: Considering California’s local accountability and school finance plans for English learners
Authors: Vasquez Heilig Julian , Romero Lisa S. , Hopkins Megan
Published: February 2017

Local control has been a bedrock principle of public schooling in America since its inception. In 2013, the California Legislature codified a new local accountability approach for school finance. An important component of the new California Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) approach is a focus on English learners (ELs). The law mandates that every school district produce a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) to engage the local community in defining outcomes and determining funding for ELs. Based on an exploratory analysis of a representative sample of LCAPs, we show that, although California’s new approach offered an opportunity to support locally-defined priorities and alternatives to top-down accountability, few if any districts had yet taken full advantage of the opportunity. That is, the school districts in our sample had not yet engaged with the local community to facilitate significant changes to accountability or redistribution of funding and resources to support educational equity for ELs.
The politics of schools and money: Building awareness about channeling practices for supplemental resource allocations to serve English language learners
Authors: Okhremtchouk Irina
Published: February 2017

One of the aims of K-12 supplemental programs is to maximize the potential for success of students who bring special needs into a classroom. Therefore, the intent behind a large majority of these additional resources is to support programs that are designed to address the needs of otherwise marginalized students by leveling the playing field. The purpose of this work is to shed light on how supplemental funds are potentially channeled from the source to the students for whom these funds are intended and whose needs these funds intend to serve. Specifically, this article draws attention to the dynamics associated with channeling practices of supplemental dollars for English language learners. This article concludes with a practical discussion to offer insights for navigating the typical channeling practices of these funding streams.

As any other cities in Indonesia, Semarang is a city that never free from flood and it is getting worse and worse each year. Ten to sixteen sub-districts are flooded increasingly each year, among others Northern, Eastern and Western Semarang. Histotically, Semarang is never free from flood. Through forced labour, in 1850 and 1896 Dutch colonizer built two big cannals, called East Banjirkanal (Banjirkanal Timur) and West Banjirkanal (Banjirkanal Barat) anticipating flood in Northern Semarang that becomes business center in Semarang harbour. East Banjirkanal was built to anticipate flood in East Semarang and  the development area of Semarang harbour. Originally those cannals built to flow water from the upper part of Semarang (area of Semarang district on the foot of Ungaran hill). Flood problem should be handled  not only by structural method, such as building infrastructure, but also by non-structure method namely social and socio cultural aspects. To overcome flood in Semarang, wholy and integratedly starting from planning phase, execution, reconstruction, evaluation and revitalization should be carried out. In planning activities, synoptic comprehensive and transactive or social learning are applied. Synoptic comprehensive planning is  applied to study technical problems  and policies related to execute the technical execution. Administered synoptic comprehensive is comprehensively, inter-sectors and administration. Transactive or social learning is stressed on social participation related to awereness, objective and education related to culture that  nurture the environment maintenance.

KEUNIKAN TUTURAN HALUS BASA SEMARANGAN SEBAGAI SALAH SATU BENTUK KESANTUNAN BERTUTUR PADA MASYARAKAT JAWA PESISIR
Authors: Suryadi M.
Published: February 2017

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelusuri keunikan tuturan halus basa Semarangan. Sisi keunikan yang dibidik adalah perilaku penutur Jawa-Semarang sebagai masyarakat pesisir dalam menempatkan leksikon leksikon krama inggil pada tuturan halus, sebagai cermin adab santun. Penelitian melalui pendekatan sosiolinguistik ini memanfaatkan metode deskriptif kontekstual sebagai alat untuk menganalisis data. Piranti yang digunakan adalah komponen tutur yang berwujud (1) penutur, (2) mitra tutur, (3) situasi tutur, (4) tujuan tutur, dan (5) pokok tuturan. Temuan penelitian berupa fitur keunikan tuturan halus basa Semarangan. Fitur tersebut berseberangan dengan kaidah yang berlaku pada bahasa Jawa standar. Dua fitur yang ditemukan meliputi (1) Leksikon krama inggil selain dikenakan kepada mitra dapat juga dilekatkan pada diri penutur, dan (2) Leksikon krama inggil meskipun melekat pada diri penutur tetap digunakan untuk  menghormati mitra tutur. This research aims at showing the uniqueness of tuturan halus basa Semarangan. The uniqueness can be seen from the way the users place the lexical item of krama inggril in their tuturan halus as the reflection of politeness behavior. With sociolinguistic approach, I used contextual descriptive method to analyze the data based on the following speech components: (1) speaker, (2) hearer, (3) situation, (4) purposes, and  (5) topic. The result shows that there are some features of tuturan halus basa Semarangan which violate standard Javanese. The features are as follows. (1) The lexical item of  krama inggil can be attached not only to the hearer but also to the speaker him/herself; and (2) eventhough the lexical item attached to the speaker him/herself it can be used to respect the hearer.
