Authors: Hussein Ali , Aziz Peri
Published: August 2017

Background: Breast cancer is the most common site-specific cancer in women. The incidence rate of

breast cancer in Suleimani did not estimated before the year 2006. The aim of this study is to find out the

incidence rate of breast cancer and some other statistical data in Suleimani city / Iraq in 2006. Patients

and Methods: A questionnaire was designated to collect data from all newly diagnosed breast cancer

 

patients in the year 2006, and from control group. We set up a hypothesis that to be tested using Chi-

Square test at 95% confidence level. Results: The number of patients was 61 (60 females and 1 male).

 

The incidence rate in females is 10.1 per 100000 adult females in the year 2006. The age group of highest

incidence is 45 – 54. Most of patients are house wives, married, fertile, living in city center and urban

areas, have no family histories of breast carcinoma, nonsmokers, have history of breast feeding, have

body mass index above normal range, and mammography or U/S was infrequent screening test for breast

mass done for them. Invasive ductal carcinoma of breast is the most frequent tumor among patients. The

results revealed that 11 (18.0%) of patients have history of exposure to chemical weapons in the year

1988. Conclusion: The incidence rate of breast cancer in Suleimani is 10.1 per 100000 adult females in

the year 2006, which is relatively low incidence.
Serological Survey of Newcastle Disease in Domestic Chickens in Sulaimani Province
Authors: Aziz Tariq , Ahmed Taib
Published: August 2017

Newcastle disease is one of the serious diseases of poultry. It causes a great loss in poultry industry and

domestic village chickens. Since domestic chickens in villages are free ranging for food, the chance of contact

with wild birds which may act as a reservoir for many viral diseases is high.

The ELISA and Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) test were used for the detection of antibodies against

Newcastle disease virus in 500 serum samples collected from chickens with no history of vaccination from

five regions in Sulaimani province during September and October 2006. Forty six percent of sera were

positive by ELISA and 34.4% by HI test. Chi-square and t-tests were used for statistical analysis. A good

correlation was observed between ELISA and HI titers (Correlation Coefficient=0.705205, T=3.80732) and

there was a statistically significant differences between ELISA and HI test at 95% confidence level (P<0.05).

It was found that 46% of the domestic village chickens have protective antibody and 53.9% of chickens

are susceptible to Newcastle disease virus infection.
Digital Modulation Classification Using Wavelet Transform and Artificial Neural Network
Authors: Faek Fatima
Published: August 2017

Received signals contain a vast amount of uncertainty due to the unknown modulating signals,

communication channel, and noise. Therefore the modulation classification problem has to be

approached based on artificial neural networks . In this work a digital modulation classification method

is presented, based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and artificial neural networks (ANN) to

distinguish digital modulation, like quadrature amplitude (QAM), phase shift keying (PSK), and

frequency shift keying (FSK) signals. Feature extraction is performed via the DWT detail coefficients of

the digital signals using (db4) mother wavelet, because of the usefulness of wavelet in signal de-noising

. The extracted features are presented to an ANN for pattern recognition. In this work Levenberg-

Marquardt error back propagation algorithm is used since it appears to be the fastest method for

training moderate-sized feed forward neural networks (up to several hundred weights).The performance

of the classification scheme is investigated through simulations using matlab-7, high recognition rates

are obtained of about (97%). However, there are probabilities of misclassification of about (3%).

Landslide Hazard of Rock Slopes Around Shaqlawa City, Kurdistan Region, NE Iraq, with Modified Classification of Hazards on Roads and proposing remedial measurements
Authors: Al-Saadi Saad , Yousif Luay
Published: August 2017

The results of rock slopes analyses around Shaqlawa area showed that Landslide Possibility Index (LPI) values range between Low (LPI) for rock slopes of Tanjero, Kolosh and (marl and siltstone) of Gercus Formations, Moderate (LPI) for rock slopes of Shiranish, Gercus (sandstone and dolomitic limestone) and Pila Spi Formations, and High (LPI) for rock slopes of the dolomitic limestone of Pila Spi Formation at the gorge north of Shaqlawa city (at the west side of Shaqlawa - Harir main road). Two landslide hazard maps have been prepared for Shaqlawa area: 

A- The first Hazard map (based on LPI values) shows three hazard areas; (1) Area of Low Hazards (for Tanjero and Kolosh Formations). (2) Areas of Moderate Hazards (for Shiranish, Gercus and Pila Spi Formations) and (3) Area of High Hazard (for the dolomitic limestone beds of Pila Spi Formation) west of Shaqlawa - Harir main road. 

B- The second Hazard map (based on the effect of landslide on the roads), also shows three hazard areas but different from the first map. It shows; (1) Area of Very Low Hazard (it includes slopes of Tanjero, Kolosh and Gercus Formations) because of the wide distance between the failing slopes and the road, (2) Area of Moderate Hazard (in the slopes of Shiranish Formation) because of closeness from the road and poor protection works, and (3) Area of High Hazard (at Pila Spi dolomitic limestone slopes at the west side of Shaqlawa-Harir main road) due to its high slope angle and height, and closeness to the road in addition to poor protection works. 

A modification on the classification of landslide hazard on roads is suggested, and some measures of landslides treatment are suggested, for slope stabilization and road protection.
New geologic setting of Bekhme Formation
Authors: Karim Kamal
Published: August 2017

Since the first description of Bekhme Formation (Late Campanian- Early 

Maastrichtian) by Wetzel in 1950 (in Bellen et al., 1959), no updating is published by later studies except confirmation of the first description. However, few published studied are deviated from the majorities and give serious suspicions about many parts of the previous description. The present study tries, on bases of stratigraphy, Correlation with Iran, fieldwork and paleontology, to evaluate these doubts and try to give evidence for abandoning this formation and changing it’s name to new formation (Perat Formation). Accordingly, it was proved that the top of Bekhme Formation is older than Late Campanian and it’s actual age is Turonian-Campanian. Additionally, it is concluded that the related basal conglomerate is choatic fault breccia. The changing of the name is based on the analysis of evidence of the previous studies, and introduction of new ones in which new stratigraphic column, stratigraphic positions and new depositional basin, tectonic and paleogeographic setting are proposed or established.

Authors: Al-Khateeb Azhar , Capigian Arsen
Published: August 2017

A comprehensive geotechnical study is carried out in Northeastern part of Iraq for a site in Sulaimaniya Governorate which is located about (4) km. from city center, a site where a grand hotel were constructed later on.  

The site is a longitudinal hill representing a double plunging anticline, which itself is the southeastern plunge of Pera-Magroon anticline, regionally the area is highly affected by tectonic movements which led to folding, faulting, jointing, shearing …etc. 

The site is evaluated by studying the core of (9) boreholes with (200) m length through three engineering parameters: Rock Quality Designation (RQD), Fissuration Factor (CFactor) and Number of Fractures per meter (F/m) besides two laboratory parameters: Unconfined Compressive Strength (c) and Porosity (Pₒ). 

Each borehole is divided into different geotechnical horizons according to the similarity of engineering parameter values, weathering degree, color, bedding, etc. Weighted average of the five above mentioned parameters are calculated for these horizons where each parameter classify the rock mass into five ranks from very weak to excellent with rank values from one to five; these values are adopted to get final evaluation of the boreholes. 

Subsurface correlation charts are drawn using Rockworks/15 program depending upon the evaluation of each horizon which is gained by matching rank values of each parameter to get the final rank values of it from weak to excellent which is used for the first time by the authors.
Evaluation of organic carbon content and source rock maturity using petrophysical logs and geochemical data: Case study of Horn Valley Siltstone source rock, Amadeus Basin, Central Australia
Authors: Shiri Mahdi , Ranjbar-Karami Rasoul , Moussavi-Harami Reza , Rezaee Mohammad
Published: August 2017

In this study, 30 samples from the Horn Valley Siltstone Formation from Amadeus Basin in Central Australia have been analyzed using geochemical method Rock-Eval (RE) pyrolysis. The analysis shows Total Organic Carbon between 0.21 to 2.74%wt . It also shows that kerogen type II, and a mixture of type II and III are the dominant kerogen. This type of kerogens are prone to oil and oil/gas production. The geochemical diagrams show that all samples are in the oil window, and they have good thermal maturation. The Horn Valley siltstone formation has been divided into 4 zones; Hv1, Hv2, Hv3 and Hv4. Although all zones are mature (i.e., have Tmax over 435 °C), Hv2 has a high organic carbon content and is located at the end of the oil window (Tmax between 450-470 °C). Also, to compare the results, petrophysical logs (Resistivity and Sonic) and ΔlogR method were used to determine the organic carbon content of source rock, and investigate zones with high pontentials to produce hydrocarbons. Zones have the potential to produce hydrocarbons was determined. And there was a close adaptation between the results of petrophysical method (ΔlogR) and Rock-Eval pyrolysis technique. The results show that Petrophysical method (ΔlogR) and the Rock-Eval pyrolysis technique have produced close results

Authors: Sedighi M. , Danesh M. , Vaji S.
Published: August 2017

The electronic and structural properties of Sr3Sb2 were investigated using the Density 

Functional Theory (DFT). To solve the equations of Kohen-Sham the method of FullPotential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave (FP-LAPW) was applied. The lattice parameters, volume modulus and the derivative of the volume modulus were calculated. The band structures were also studied by two different methods of Generalized Gradient 

Approximation (GGA) and Engle-Vosko Generalized Gradient Approximation (EVGGA). The results of the calculations by GGA and EV-GGA methods show that this structure is a semi-conductor and predict the energy gap of type  Γ→K with a magnitude of 0.412eV and 0.977eV respectively. The effect of pressure on the band structures, the magnitude of the gap, anti-symmetric gap, and the width of the gaps were also studied. With extrapolation of the gap variation with pressure, the metallization pressure was determined which is equal to 19.984GPa. In this work, the electron and hole effective mass were investigated as well by the methods of GGA and EV-GGA.

El copyright del juez. ¿y si demostramos que el derecho de autor podría mejorar –en cierto sentido– la justicia?
Authors: Murillo Chávez Javier André
Published: August 2017

¿Cómo lograr que nuestros magistrados mejoren la calidad de sus resoluciones? Sabemos que la búsqueda de una respuesta a esta pregunta se ha convertido en la cacería del “Santo Grial”. El presente trabajo constituye una propuesta de utilización de los derechos de autor como medio para lograr conseguirla. Creemos que otorgar ciertos derechos de autor sobre las resoluciones a los magistrados generará incentivos para la mejora en la calidad de las mismas. Pese a que diversas normativas nacionales excluyen estos textos oficiales del régimen de Derecho de autor, el marco jurídico a nivel internacional permite a los Estados otorgar derechos de autor sobre las resoluciones. Creemos que esto incentivaría una mejora en la elaboración de estos documentos clave para la Justicia. Sobre la base de las normativas peruana, española y colombiana, el presente trabajo estudia dicha posibilidad.

Investigating the Role of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Neonatal Medicine
Authors: Evans Kaylee M. , Rubarth Lori B.
Published: August 2017

Abstract

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a clinical tool that provides a bedside method of noninvasively measuring continuous, “real-time” oxygen consumption and monitoring for potential ischemia of somatic tissues, particularly the brain, kidneys, and intestine in neonates. Although the concept of NIRS seems promising, its implementation into clinical practice has been inconsistent for various reasons, including difficulty in interpreting regional oxygen saturation (rSO2), the wide variation in types of NIRS monitors and probes, the cost of new equipment, different monitoring modalities, large discrepancies in both intra- and interindividual use, a lack of defined universal normative values, and little to no data on outcomes or potentially harmful interventions made based on rSO2 readings. We combine findings from previously published informational articles and studies on the use of NIRS in neonatal medicine to provide a comprehensive overview of this tool and identify potential indications for clinical use.

Efectos, consecuencias y regulación de la maternidad subrogada = Effects, consequences and regulation of surrogated maternity
Authors: Regalado Torres María Desirée
Published: August 2017

Resumen: Para muchos, la gestación por subrogación refleja un avance en las técnicas de reproducción asistida que permite otorgar una nueva alternativa ante la imposibilidad de concebir de forma natural. Para otros, se trata de un nuevo tipo de explotación de la mujer, que la cosifica e instrumentaliza con el fin de cumplir el deseo de terceros de ser padres con base en un liberalismo contractual desmesurado. El presente trabajo muestra los inconvenientes ético-jurídicos que genera la maternidad subrogada para la madre gestante, el niño concebido, y los padres comitentes, así como el controvertido debate que existe en torno a la necesidad de actualizar el concepto de maternidad dejando a un lado el carácter personalísimo del propio acto, situación en gran parte motivada por el desarrollo económico-social que ha tenido la maternidad subrogada gracias a la ausencia de prohibiciones o de una regulación concreta en muchos países.Palabras clave: gestación por subrogación, maternidad subrogada, liberalismo contractual. Abstract: On the one hand, for many people subrogated gestation means a great advantage in assisted reproduction techniques because of it is an alternative for those who cannot conceive naturally. On the other hand, for some people it means sexual exploitation of women, who are treated as an object and manipulated with the intention of granting a wish of people who want to become parents, and all this is part of a contractual and disproportionate liberalism. This essay shows the ethical and legal inconvenients caused by subrogated maternity to the expectant mother, the child and the recipient parents. Besides, the controversial debate in relation to the necessity of updating the term maternity will be analysed as a consequence of the socioeconomic development that has had subrogated maternity due to the abscence of prohibitions or a regulation in many countries.Keywords: subrogated gestation, subrogated maternity, contractual liberalism.
Agulhas e pincéis: as relações entre a paleontologia e a neontologia no estudo dos ostracodes (Crustacea: Ostracoda)
Authors: Bergue Cristianini Trescastro
Published: August 2017

O estudo dos ostracodes se desenvolveu sob diferentes influências, sendo possível identificar em sua história tendências orientadas pelas tecnologias de amostragem, a necessidade de conhecimentos aplicáveis à indústria do petróleo e pelo aprimoramento da microscopia óptica e eletrônica. O início da ostracodologia pode ser situado na segunda metade do século XVIII com o estudo de faunas continentais por zoólogos europeus. A pesquisa paleontológica iniciou-se quando as primeiras espécies fósseis foram descritas no início do século XIX. O aprimoramento do conhecimento paleontológico revelou a potencialidade paleoambiental e bioestratigráfica da ostracodologia, tornando-a um importante ramo da pesquisa micropaleontológica. A partir de então, um número crescente de pesquisadores passou a dedicar-se ao estudo destes crustáceos em diversas instituições do mundo, tanto em âmbito acadêmico quanto aplicado à indústria do petróleo. Atualmente, há uma tendência de recrudescimento da pesquisa em ostracodes recentes sob os mais diferentes enfoques. Os novos conhecimentos paleontológicos e neontológicos fornecidos por ela permitirão conhecer melhor a história evolutiva dos ostracodes e de outros artrópodes.

En particular, la ecología, como ciencia, permite abordar la problemática ambiental a través de sus diferentes escalas de análisis y consigue permear a través de la EA aportando en el manejo ambiental y la conservación. El presente trabajo plantea nuevas propuestas educativas basadas en los resultados obtenidos de una investigación científica. Éstas se ofrecerán a la comunidad a través de un portal educativo online generando una nueva forma de presentar, transponer y difundir el conocimiento científico; conocimiento que pretende contribuir a la enseñanza ambiental.
Evolução do conhecimento biocronoestratigráfico do cretáceo nas bacias marginais brasileiras baseado em nanofósseis calcários
Authors: Guerra Rodrigo do Monte , Tokutake Lucio Riogi
Published: August 2017

O advento da bioestratigrafia contribuiu em grande parte para a resolução de problemas estratigráficos, possibilitando a correlação dos estratos rochosos com base na análise dos fósseis. A utilização como ferramenta padrão na indústria do petróleo propiciou um grande avanço nos conceitos da bioestratigrafia e no conhecimento geológico. Devido a dificuldade de recuperação de macrofósseis na amostragem em perfurações petrolíferas, os microfósseis transformaram-se em ótima alternativa para correlações, estudos paleoecológicos e posicionamento cronoestratigráfico de poços. Dentre os grupos mais utilizados estão os nanofósseis calcários, devido à abundância com que ocorrem nas rochas aliada à ampla distribuição geográfica, rápida especiação e ao fato de serem facilmente recuperados da matriz sedimentar e preparados em laboratório. Este trabalho busca apresentar a importância da bioestratigrafia e a evolução do conhecimento cronoestratigráfico do Cretáceo Superior nas bacias marginais brasileiras, por meio dos principais biozoneamentos propostos com nanofósseis calcários.

                                                                         ABSTRACT
Since the growth of syariah banking in Indonesia, law constraints have been faced, Law Number 7 of 1992 concerning Banking changed into Law Number 10 Of 1998. Law Number 21 of 2008 on syariah Banking, Law Number 3 of 2006 has no effect on the method of dispute resolution of syariah economy. Decision of the Constitutional Court No. 93 / PUU-X / 2012 which strengthens the Religious Courts in accepting, examining, deciding syariah economic cases, but the practice there is still a syariah economic dispute resolution submitted to the District Court. Like the lawsuit to BPSK, against the decision of BPSK, its law remedy to the District Court, another example of using the District Court to resolve the syariah dispute is a matter between CV. Makmur Rezeki with PT. Bank Syariah Mandiri Branch Office Medan Ringroad. This creates a prolonged law uncertainty. This study examines the establishment of a special syariah economic court within the Religious Courts as an institution that can solve the law uncertainty. This study focuses on: First, the importance of the establishment of special courts within the Religious Courts in the settlement of syariah economic disputes; Secondly, the law construction of the establishment of a special syariah economic court within the Religious Courts. This research is a normative-empirical law research, the primary and secondary data sources Obtained from library research and field analyzed by using qualitative method. Qualitative analysis is done by taking into account the facts that exist in the field and combined with secondary data obtained from literature materials. The results of the study show that, Firstly, Decision of the Constitutional Court Number 93 / PUU-X / 2012 which strengthens Religious Courts as the institution authorized to receive, examine, decide the case of syariah economy. In fact, the resolution of the syariah economic dispute still exists in the District Court. The occurrence of dualism of dispute resolution of syariah economy was caused by the unharmonious of legislation and factor of Choice of Forum and factor of judge who should not refuse the case; Secondly, the existence of special court in solving of syariah economic dispute in the environment of Religious Court was supported by law construction namely Basic Law of 1945 and Law Number 48 of 2009 regarding Judicial Power, and position within the Religious Courts under the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia in accordance with Law Number 3 of 2006 concerning Amendment to Law Number 7 of 1989 concerning Religious Courts and Law Number 50 of 2009 on the Second Amendment to Law Number 7 of 1989 on Religious Courts.

Derivative Transactions banking activity has become inseparable from the business activities of companies in the era of free market economy and globalization. One of derivative transactions known and used in Indonesia is Cross Currency Swap transaction.From the perspective of Indonesian contract law, Cross Currency Swap is a new type of special contract or sui generis originated from a lending and borrowing contracts. Cross Currency Swaps made by BNI were in compliance with the requirement of contract to be valid. The application of ISDA Master Agreement as a soft law in this transaction is not in contrary to the laws and regulations of Indonesia.
STRENGTHENING THE POSITION OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THE FOREST BY SUBSQUENT OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT DECISION OF REPUBLIK INDONESIA NO.35/PUU-X/2012 TO SUPPORT OF REDD+ INDONESIA

The problems of disputes over land ownership of forest between the government (in this case is the state) and the community, has been occured tens of years ago, but the increase was higher along with just an era of reform. A possession of forest resources has been dominated by large employers with the strength of their capital, while the local community (in this case of indigenous people) who rely on forest resources for generations before this country stood, their fate was even more marginalized. In fact, the existence of indigenous people with local wisdom value, plays an important role in forest management, as recognized in Act No.41 of 1999 about Forestry. Inequality of distribution of forest resources this mastery was seen as a base for real social conflict happens in the life of the community law. Furthermore it was published constitutional court’s verdict of RI No.35/PUU-X/2012 to provid e access to justice for indigenous people over the mastery of the forest. This recognition is strengthened by the existence of a REDD + Program aims to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation that requires the existence of a customary law society active participation through the empowerment of local wisdom values.
What Happens to Directional Drillers When Computers are Directing Drillers?
Authors: Rassenfoss Stephen
Published: August 2017

Behind every driller drilling a horizontal well is a directional driller. And increasingly, there is a screen in front of the driller showing what to do next.

“It is like a navigation system for drilling,” said Ginger Hildebrand, operational efficiency manager for North America land drilling at Schlumberger. Based on surface and downhole data, it delivers “step-by-step directions, shows you where you are and how well you are performing.”

In other words, the directional drilling advisory software (directional advisor) is designed to do what a directional driller does for a living.

The goal of algorithm-driven decision making is to “industrialize directional drilling operations.” That means more consistent, efficient drilling, as measured by the time it takes, the ability to consistently deliver complex well designs, the quality of the borehole, and facilitating decisions that determine the long-term value of the well.

That quote came from a recent paper, Transitioning the Directional Driller Off the Rig (SPE/IADC 184682). It told how Precision Drilling managed to reduce, or eliminate, directional drillers on rigs by using a computerized drilling advisory system developed by Schlumberger and Pason Systems, which developed and runs the data network. Reliable communications are critical for new systems that connect teams of people, some-times with directional drillers remotely monitoring the work.

Schlumberger and Pason have a sys-tem on the market as does Motive Drilling Technologies, a pioneer in the field that was recently bought by Helmerich & Payne. Tesco, which makes drilling tools, is developing an advisor as part of its Automated Rig Control system, and a startup, xnDrilling, is trialing one that uses drill path location information from Hawkeye Directional software.

The addition of a directional advisor on a drilling rig raises an unanswered question about what directional drillers will do. One possibility is working at a console in a remote center tracking a handful of drilling projects in progress using directional advisors. The idea of removing a key member of the rig team, though, has run into opposition.
Profit Increase With New Subsea Boosting Products
Authors: Carpenter Chris
Published: August 2017

This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper OTC 27747, “Profit Increase With New Subsea Boosting Products,” by åge Hofstad and Hans Christian Nilsen, Aker Solutions, prepared for the 2017 Offshore Technology Conference, Houston, 1–4 May. The paper has not been peer reviewed. Copyright 2017 Offshore Technology Conference. Reproduced by permission.

Emphasis on identifying more-efficient subsea boosting solutions has led to a number of initiatives in the industry. A new multiphase-pump technology has been developed that will expand the operation envelope for subsea boosting and create better opportunities for more-effective offshore-field development. A parallel, and equally important, advance has been the development of a new heavy-duty 6-MW subsea motor.

Introduction

In 2011, a decision was made to abandon twin-screw technology because of the low sand-handling resistance and limited differential-pressure generation with multiphase fluids that these pumps had demonstrated during in-house testing. Thus, a development project was initiated.

Multiphase-Pump-Development Project

For this development project, the main target was to increase pump performance in the following ways:

From 4,000 to 6,000 rev/min

From 3 to 6 MW

From 500 to 1,000 actual m3/h

From 50- to 150-bar differential pressure at 70% gas-volume fraction (GVF)

Reaching these targets would require design of a new motor to operate at higher speeds at twice the power.

Multiphase-Pump Technology

It was evident from recent experience that the pump design had to use the rotodynamic principle (dynamic energy transfer to the liquid) and not the positive-displacement principle. Before this multiphase-pump development, a hybrid multiphase pump with both multiphase impellers and radial impellers had shown very good test results when operating with multiphase fluids.

The multiphase impeller design has commonly been a helicoaxial design, which has been the standard until now. However, on the basis of previous experience and tests, a different technology was chosen. This was a mixed-flow impeller in which the flow channel was partly axial and partly radial. This design uses centrifugal action to provide more pressure generation from each impeller. This principle can be termed a helico-mixed-flow design.

Multiphase-Pump-Prediction Model

From promising initial pilot pump tests, the authors were able to prepare a prediction model for the multiphase pump. The prediction model is, in itself, a challenging piece of work because the fluid conditions will change considerably through the pump. It is necessary to use a stepwise approach and calculate the fluid parameters for each impeller stage.
RESEARCH OF MINERAL ADSORBENTS APPLICATION FOR WATER-ALCOHOL SOLUTIONS PURIFICATION IN TECHNOLOGY OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
Authors: Marynchenko Lolita , Marynchenko Viktor , Hyvel Mariana
Published: August 2017

The possibility of using natural mineral adsorbents - clinoptilolite and schungite - in the adsorption purification of water-alcohol solutions of different concentrations was studied using the example of impurities of ethanol of acetaldehyde and ethyl acetate. The feasibility of studying the above-mentioned minerals for the adsorption of simple organic substances is justified. The best concentration of a water-alcohol solution for adsorption of acetaldehyde 80-85 vol.%, ethyl acetate-40 vol.% is experimentally established. The rational duration of phase contact for adsorption of acetaldehyde is from 10 to 20 minutes, for adsorption of ethyl acetate - 5 minutes.

An explanation for the dependence of the sorption efficiency on the ethanol content in a water-alcohol solution is proposed based on the known dependencies of the rectification factor on the ethanol concentration. The larger the rectification factor, the less the hydrogen bond of this impurity with ethanol and the easier it is to sorb it from ethanol by mineral adsorbents. The practical and economic feasibility of using the mineral adsorbent clinoptilolite of Ukrainian origin in the preparation of alcoholic beverages instead of imported active coal is shown. It is determined that to purify water-alcohol solutions from aldehydes, which most worsen the taste of alcoholic beverages, it is more expedient to use clinoptilolite as an adsorbent. It is shown that the use of clinoptilolite for the preparation of vodkas from non-standard rectified alcohol will improve the tasting indicators of the final product.

El estudio describe las características diferenciales de la esperanza en jóvenes y adultos universitarios según el sexo y la edad a partir de las puntuaciones del Herth Hope Index, en su adaptación peruana (Castilla et al., 2014). Para ello se contó con la participación de 420 personas, varones (47.9 %) y mujeres (52.1 %), con edades entre 16 y 38 años (Media = 20.16; D.E.= 4.57). Los resultados muestran que las mujeres, en comparación con los hombres, son más propensas a experimentar cierto grado de esperanza; mientras que las personas del grupo de mayor edad tienen más altas puntuaciones en la esperanza que las del grupo de menor edad; así mismo, a medida que los años trascurren mayor es el nivel de esperanza. Los resultados contribuyen a una mejor comprensión de la esperanza, variables asociadas a la salud y el bienestar, así como permite tener un marco empírico que sirva para el diseño e implementación de programas de intervención destinados a favorecer la expresión de variables positivas.
Calidad de vida según el estadio del cáncer de seno en mujeres: análisis desde el Fact-B y SF-36
Authors: Aguirre Loaiza Héctor Haney , Núñez César , Navarro Ana , Cortés Sánchez Sebastián
Published: August 2017

El cáncer se clasifica según criterios histológicos en estadios (0 o in situ, I, II, III y IV), los cuales se asocian a las tasas de sobrevida. El cáncer de mama afecta la calidad de vida de las pacientes. A partir de un estudio relacional, no experimental en una muestra no probabilística de 39 mujeres (M = 56.2, DE = 13.4) diagnosticadas con cáncer de mama, se analiza la calidad de vida y posibles diferencias según el estadio de cáncer, y se relacionan las medidas del SF-36 y el FACT-B. Los resultados describen que en estadios avanzados, los puntajes de calidad de vida son bajos en comparación a los iniciales; sin embargo, las diferencias no alcanzan la significancia estadística. Los instrumentos se relacionaron positivamente entre sí. Se concluye que la calidad de vida no difiere según los estadios oncológicos y que ambos instrumentos correlacionaron positiva y significativamente. Estos resultados alientan a nuevos trabajos en esta línea.
