Published: November 2017

Period of intense rainfall during May 2014 was characterized with the occurrence of a large number of landslides on terrains that have not been previously threatened by human activities, and also terrains that were the subject of engineering activities. To separate terrains that are not threatened by human activities is difficult. Still they can be observed as the terrains where in general there is no presence of human interests and terrains where people live and bring slopes to their own purposes, but do not impair the nature by doing certain technical procedures.

Seen as a whole, the most vulnerable are hilly and mountainous terrains, which mainly represent conditionally stable slopes. Some of them are abandoned and some are brought to human purposes. Both are usually conditionally stable, only is difficult to determine where is easier to distort the natural stability. At the top of the slope are mostly smaller settlements, which partially maintain slopes in their conditional stability, but also sometimes disturb that stability.

Great rainfall in May 2014 have left the greatest consequences on such terrains. Majevica, as a mountain known for such slopes on its peripheral parts, only demonstrated earlier prediction that on its terrains can frequently occur landslides, which requires a more detailed study of the terrain if used for certain purposes, especially in the construction of individual residential objects.

Landslide Suljendic is located in the Srebrenik municipality, which is characterized by terrains where occurred the largest number of landslides. More detailed landslide is on the slope that from three sides surrounds several individual objects, built on its top. For years, the slope held its conditional stability, however during the mentioned period on each side started a movment of the rock mass which formed three landslides independent of each other. On the north side is the relevant landslide for which were carried out terrain and laboratory tests and was given sanation proposal.

Authors: Pešević Dušica , Knežević Nebojša
Published: November 2017

Construction of the silica material factory named "R-S Silicon", with an annual production capacity of 15,210 ton of Si-metal, was planned in the village of Bjelajce, municipality of Mrkonjić Grad. The factory for production of Si-metal shall have direct and indirect environmental impacts, especially on waters, by washing off working areas, leachate and other waste water that must be treated due to contamination, so that their quality would be at least the quality of surface recipient into which they are discharged.

Before the construction, i.e. commissioning of subject factory, it is necessary to determine the zero condition of waters quality around the factory in order to have a realistic picture of its impact on the water quality during its operation.
STUDY ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF PILE SPACING ON THE PERFORMANCE OF PILE GROUP UNDER COMPOSITE LOADS, ADJACENT STRUCTURE LOADS, AND BENDING MOMENT IN SAND
Authors: Karamjavan Abbas Firouzi
Published: November 2017

Pile group is a particular type of deep foundations which is designed and installed as the ultimate solution to foundation construction, load transition to the resistant subsurface layers, providing lateral resistance, and overcoming the poor performance of surface soils. Pile design should be done with respect to structural consideration, the load-carrying capacity of the surface and surrounding soil, settlement, and constructional, technical and environmental problems. Piles are mostly and widely utilized in coastal and offshore structures, and sustain vertical and lateral loads. Considering the imposed loads on structure, the effect of these loads on the pile behavior should be analyzed with an appropriate method. In this study, a 4x4 pile group with piles of 100-cm diameter and center-to-center spacing of 2, 3, 4 times the diameter is modeled using the Plaxis 3D foundation program, which uses the finite element method, and the Mohr-Coulomb model, and the behavior of piles subjected to loading, driven in sand, are investigated. Taking the achieved results, the mechanism of the pile group behavior under composite loads, adjacent structure loads, and bending moment are calculated, and displacement in the x-direction, y-direction and along the length, the bending moment and the axial force for each pile within a distance of 2, 3, 4 times the diameter are attained.

Authors: Pešević Dušica , Knežević Nebojša
Published: November 2017

Air quality measurement was conducted in the vicinity of the industrial plot that belongs to RS Silicon LLC Mrkonjić Grad where a plant for the production of the silicon metal is constructed, during the period January – December 2015; this air quality measurement comprised the immissions concentrations of CO, SO2, NO2 and total suspended particles (TSP), while simultaneously measuring wind speed and direction.

The factory for Si-metal production will generate direct and indirect environmental impacts, especially on air. Generally, the largest environmental impact during operation of the factory will be reflected in the emission of a large quantity of waste gases. This document shows air pollution measurement results which represent the zero state, it is to say a basis for further assessment of air quality after the commissioning of subject factory.

Published: November 2017

The paper presents the results of the geochemical-pedological researches based on the lead concentrations in soil of the Tuzla's urban area. The main goal of the research was to determine to what extent, the urban area of Tuzla was contaminated by lead and to determine the pollutant origin. The 129 soil samples were collected in situ on the of area about 100 km2 . The testing of the lead concentration in soil samples was performed by mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) with detection range of 0.02 to 10.000 ppm. The exceeding of the maximum permissible concentrations of lead (as defined by the „Pravilnik o utvrđivanju dozvoljenih količina štetnih i opasnih tvari u zemljištu i metode njihovog ispitivanja“), was recorded in eight soil samples (samples 108, 170, 171, 182, 187, 189, 195 and 244), 6.20% of the total analyzed. The exceeded lead concentrations range from 114.0 - 190.82 ppm and the average value is 146.72 ppm. The concentration of lead in the soil, which is within the limits of the doses, ranges from 14.14 to 60.74 ppm, and the mean value is 33.68 ppm. Locations of elevated lead concentrations are closely related to the main road, resulting that the contamination is the result of the anthropogenic activities.

The main aim of the complete analysis is to establish a uniform depending of the analyzed elements in the system and finding the optimal parameters and their relationship that provide the most appropriate solution from the technical and economic aspects.
Gyrification of the cerebral cortex requires FGF signaling in the mammalian brain
Authors: Matsumoto Naoyuki , Shinmyo Yohei , Ichikawa Yoshie , Kawasaki Hiroshi
Published: November 2017

Although it has been believed that the evolution of cortical folds was a milestone, allowing for an increase in the number of neurons in the cerebral cortex, the mechanisms underlying the formation of cortical folds are largely unknown. Here we show regional differences in the expression of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) in the developing cerebral cortex of ferrets even before cortical folds are formed. By taking the advantage of our in utero electroporation technique for ferrets, we found that cortical folding was impaired in the ferret cerebral cortex when FGF signaling was inhibited. We also found that FGF signaling was crucial for producing Pax6-positive neural progenitors in the outer subventricular zone (OSVZ) of the developing cerebral cortex. Furthermore, we found that upper layers of the cerebral cortex were preferentially reduced by inhibiting FGF signaling. Our results shed light on the mechanisms of cortical folding in gyrencephalic mammalian brains.
Intrinsically disordered linkers determine the interplay between phase separation and gelation in multivalent proteins
Authors: Harmon Tyler S , Holehouse Alex S , Rosen Michael K , Pappu Rohit V
Published: November 2017

Phase transitions of linear multivalent proteins control the reversible formation of many intracellular membraneless bodies. Specific non-covalent crosslinks involving domains/motifs lead to system-spanning networks referred to as gels. Gelation transitions can occur with or without phase separation. In gelation driven by phase separation multivalent proteins and their ligands condense into dense droplets, and gels form within droplets. System spanning networks can also form without a condensation or demixing of proteins into droplets. Gelation driven by phase separation requires lower protein concentrations, and seems to be the biologically preferred mechanism for forming membraneless bodies. Here, we use coarse-grained computer simulations and the theory of associative polymers to uncover the physical properties of intrinsically disordered linkers that determine the extent to which gelation of linear multivalent proteins is driven by phase separation. Our findings are relevant for understanding how sequence-encoded information in disordered linkers influences phase transitions of multivalent proteins.
Patterns of Binary Oppositions in Yousef Al-Mohaimeed’s Wolves of the Crescent Moon
Authors: M. Al-Sharqi Laila
Published: November 2017

Yousef Al-Mohaimeed’s Wolves of the Crescent Moon is a rich contemporary novel that deploys several effective narrative strategies and themes. Binary oppositions provide the novel’s most unifying thread. This paper examines how binary opposition is used as a structural device in the novel to explore the interplay between modernity and culture in Saudi Arabia by challenging previously unquestioned aspects of life in the contemporary society. The paper focuses on the manner in which binary oppositions inform the novel’s rhetoric of displacement, which becomes a driving force determining variation in values and notions within the privileged elite. Corresponding cultural changes emerge from this elite set, whose members pursue modernity in an exclusionary manner in their rapid assimilation into modernization. They appear incapable of understanding indigenous members of Saudi society who adjust less rapidly and who perceive changes in norms and traditions as evidence that the elite regard them as inferior ‘Others’.
Aesthetic Image of the Animal Epithet in Alice Walker's Short Story "Everyday Use"
Authors: Hadi Radhi Shaimaa
Published: November 2017

In her short story Everyday Use, the African American writer Alice Walker labels her female characters Mrs. Johnson, and her two daughters: Maggie, and Dee by associating them with an animal quality. In my present paper I attempt to show the central and pivotal role played by the mechanism of 'Animal Epithet' in order to investigate to what extent does the writer apply the theory of 'Womanism' to her short fiction's protagonist and the other characters. Walker wants the reader to share her investigation journey in order to find a logical answer for the crucial questions raised in the research-paper: Why does Walker portray female characters by comparing them to animals? How does Walker manage to treat this topic aesthetically? What portrait of black woman does she prove? To answer these central questions, Walker is committed to construct her short narrative work on the base of the key elements of inversion, signifying, and quilting-like. Walker, as a womanist and animal activist is defiant and ridiculous of the mainstream agent of humanism represented by white males. She aesthetically inverts the meaning of the negative, dehumanizing image devised and everyday used by the men of ruling class into aesthetic and positive one to represent the identity of black women.
The Bildungsroman Tradition: The Philosophical Maturation of Jack Burden in All the King’s Men
Authors: M. Al-Shraah Bassam
Published: November 2017

This paper aims to sketch out the transformation that Jack Burden—the main character in the novel—had gone through. With all the political leanings in Warren’s All the king’s Men, Jack burden seems to have had developed his own theories of dealing with life and people all through his life. He has always suffered an inferiority complex, rendering himself unworthy of being a real human being. This paper claims that Jack’s philosophical transformation has passed through three distinct phases; he had changed from a carefree idealist to a man of moral responsibility much similar to a Bildungsroman style of character maturation. Difficult times that Jack Burden has gone through caused his awakening at the end of the novel ushering his maturation
A Linguistic Study of Courtship as a Rule-Bound Social Institution in Pride and Prejudice
Authors: Pouralifard Akram , Ahmadi Moslem
Published: November 2017

The focus of this research is in the area of the relationship between linguistics and the Victorian literature. Such a study is important in order to demonstrate how the masterpieces of Victorian literature possess the potential to be studied according to the principles of linguistics and how the motives behind many characters’ activities can be determined by recourse to linguistics. The findings from this research provide evidence that all human activities follow the same rules which all the human languages are based on and according to which they all function due to their common root in the human mind. The main conclusion drawn from this study is that linguistic principles can constitute a great methodology for determining the real motives behind many activities done by the humans. This paper recommends that linguistic principles can be an excellent methodology by means of which the researchers can study the literary works of other eras in the English literature.
The Journey from Compliancy to Intimate Revolt: A Kristevan Reading of Sam Shepard’s Three Major Plays
Authors: Emam Forough , Ahmadzadeh Shideh
Published: November 2017

The study intends to examine three major plays of Sam Shepard –True West, Fool for Love, and A Lie of the Mind– to explore the underlying reasons for the characters’ social transgression in the light of Julia Kristeva’s theory of intimate revolt. Notwithstanding that all the characters feel alienated from reality and other members of society, there is a marked divergence between male and female characters in the approach they adopt to revolt against the societal norms so as to transform their lives. The findings suggest that while men seem less likely to revolt against the rules of patriarchy, it is predominantly women who embark on revolting against the psyche-numbing society to bring jouissance to their once-predetermined meaningless lives. The study comes to the conclusion that by reconnecting with their personal desire and preserving their individuality in a society that hegemonizes its subjects’ identities, women engage in what Kristeva calls ‘intimate revolt’ and become the forces of power and change in the modern world.
The Effect of Implementing the Experiential Learning Model in Listening Comprehension for the Eleventh Graders at SMAN 1 Telaga Biru
Authors: Tahir Ismail
Published: November 2017

This study is aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the experiential learning in listening comprehension with the focus on the implementation of the class story using language experience at SMAN 1 Telaga Biru. As the pre-experimental research, this study involved one class consisted of 27 students in the eleventh graders. However, most of the students of the eleventh graders in this school have some problems in their listening comprehension. This current research, therefore, aims at finding the result of the students’ listening comprehension by using experiential learning in focusing on the class story using language experience for the eleventh graders at SMAN 1 Telaga Biru and defining the students’ achievement in listening comprehension by using experiential learning focusing on the class story using language experience.  This study also explored the learners’ listening comprehension by analyzing the result of the students’ pre-test and post-test. It was found that the mean of the pre-test was 60 while the mean of the post-test was 80,6. By analyzing this result, it indicated that the post-test was higher than the pre-test. In conclusion, the finding of this research showed that teaching listening in the eleventh graders of SMAN 1 Telaga Biru using experiential learning in focusing on the class story using language experience was effective to teach students’ listening comprehension. Therefore, it can be suggested that it was an alternative way to use of experiential learning focusing on the class story using language experience in teaching listening.

The Use of L1 in English as a Foreign Language Classes: Insights from Iraqi Tertiary Level Students
Authors: Galali Atta , Cinkara Emrah
Published: November 2017

Two main opposing approaches exist regarding the impact of first-language (L1) use in the teaching and learning of English as a foreign language: the monolingual and bilingual approaches. Some linguists assume that students’ L1 should be banished from their English classes, whereas others assert that it facilitates the process of learning a target language. The purpose of this study was to investigate learners’ attitudes towards the use of L1 in their English classes, both by the students themselves and by their teachers. The current study also determined which factors caused the learners to switch from the TL to their L1.  This study was conducted at Salahaddin University, Erbil, at the end of the first semester of the 2016-2017 academic year. It employed a mixed-method approach of data collection and analysis. Two hundred and fifty-eight EFL learners participated in the quantitative data collection, by completing a questionnaire and the qualitative data were collected via face-to-face semi structured interviews with eight EFL learners. The findings revealed that participants had a slightly positive attitude towards the use of their L1 in the facilitation of their TL learning.  By referring to current theories of TL acquisition and reviewing recent literature, it can be inferred that learners’ L1 has a necessary and facilitating role in acquiring a foreign language under certain conditions.
A Critical Metaphor Analysis of Disability Identity and Ideology in the Thai Undergraduates’ Home for Children with Disabilities Website Project
Authors: Sudajit-apa Melada
Published: November 2017

This study examines how the Home for Children with Disabilities and disability identities were construed by Thai undergraduates in their website project through an analysis of metaphors. Critical Metaphor Analysis (CMA) was the framework for analyzing the use of metaphors and the participants’ enactment of identity and social representation. The critical analysis revealed four dominant themes: ‘JOURNEY’, ‘FAMILY’, ‘OBJECT’ and ‘HOPE’ all utilized to reproduce the Home for Children with Disabilities identity as a ‘warm’, ‘effective’ and ‘altruistic’ organization  that provides their children with forms of care and compassion. The analysis, in addition, showed the participants’ representation of disability identity as a non-static and changeable entity. Children with disabilities were seen as ‘capable of becoming self-supporting’. Additionally, the semi-structured interviews conducted with the participants indicated that social oppression was believed to be the cause of disability-related issues and that true understanding was needed to terminate social discrimination.
Analysis of the Quranic Text Using intertextuality: A Case Study of Two Lexemes
Authors: Khawaldeh Sami
Published: November 2017

The aim of the present study was to show how intertextuality could be a viable approach to determine the intended meaning of words in religious texts such as the Holy Quran. In order to do just this, the researcher selected two Quranic words to be the data of the study. These were "الخشية"(al- xshiah) and الخوف (al-xawf). The study argues that the former effected internally (i.e. stemming from the human being himself/herself), but "الخوف"(al-xawf) is created by either an internal or external force (i.e. stemming from the human being himself/herself or from external factors). Furthermore, "الخوف" (al-xawf) reflects a real feeling of panic, which causes the heart to pump quickly, butالخشية" "(al-xshiah) does not reflect such a feeling. Finally, we dare to make the claim that who does not fear يخاف""(yaxaf) Allah will be punished but who does not يخشى"  "(yaxsha)Allah will not be punished.
Self-medication practices and rational drug use habits among university students: a cross-sectional study from Kahramanmaraş, Turkey
Authors: Okyay Ramazan Azim , Erdoğan Ayşegül
Published: November 2017

Background

Self-medication refers to the use of medicines to treat self-diagnosed diseases without consulting any healthcare professionals. Irrational drug use and self-medication have serious negative consequences both on health and economy. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the habits related to rational use of drugs (RUD) and to estimate the prevalence of self-medication practices among university students.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was conducted on university students in Kahramanmaraş. From May 2017 to June 2017 a total of 960 students filled a “Rational Use of Drugs Questionnaire”.

Results

The prevalence of practicing self-medication in students was 63.4%. The most common medicines that the students had consumed without prescription were analgesics by 39.5%, antibiotics by 36.9% and cold remedies by 24.0%. The rate of students who declared that they were familiar with RUD and “rational use of antibiotics” (RUA) was 45.9%. Reading/checking the instructions in the prospectus (OR = 1.529, 95% CI [1.176–1.990]), understanding the context of the prospectus (OR = 1.893, 95% CI [1.387–2.584]), compliance with the duration of antibiotic treatment (OR = 1.597, 95% CI [1.231–2.071]) and consulting a physician in case of a side effect (OR = 1.350, 95% CI [1.037–1.757]) were significantly higher among students who were familiar with RUD as compared to who were not.

Discussion

Since the awareness of RUD among university students was found to be inadequate, it has critical importance to hold educational activities with the cooperation of physicians, health organizations, universities, non-governmental organizations and media to avoid negative consequences of irrational drug use and self-medication.
Breezes during some months of spring and summer in the northwest of the Gulf of California
Authors: Delgado-González OE , Ocampo-Torres FJ , Larios-Castillo S
Published: November 2017

Surface wind data measured in San Felipe, B.C., during some months in the summer of 1984 and spring of 1987 are analyzed and described. The relative importance of the breeze system in relation to the synoptic field is established, specially during the summer. Monthly hodographic representation in the time domain permits the study of the breeze system, provides information on the average wind direction and speed for each hour of the day, and presents seasonal events. Typical days from some of the months are represented, which constitute one of the first contributions to describe the phenomenon in this region. The rotary spectra in the frequency domain permit us to state that during the 1984 period of measurement, the diurna1 band explains 57% of the total spectral energy, while during 1987, the diurna1 and synoptic bands explain 35 and 31%, respectively. The synoptic events in each period of measurement can also be observed in the filtered time series. They demonstrate that when winds stronger than 5 m/s are present and persist in direction longer than one day, the breeze system is interrupted making the land breeze disappear. The first two months of the 1987 spring period of measurement still reflect winter conditions as described by severa1 authors. This study suggests that the transition period is reduced to May and June only.

Authors: Gracia A , Hernández-Ferreira G , García-del-Real R , Genis-Vargas JA
Published: November 2017

The efficiency of a Renfro beam trawl net was tested in vegetated and nonvegetated habitats of Términos Lagoon, Mexico. The white shrimp, Penaeus setiferus (87%), predominated over the brown shrimp. Penaeus uztecus (13%), in the naked substrate (Palizada Vieja), whereas the pink shrimp, Penaeus duorarum (98%), was the most abundant penaeid shrimp in the habitat with vegetation (Pájaros Island). In the substrate covered by vegetation, only the brown shrimp (2%) was present in addition to pink shrimp. Estimated penaeid shrimp density through the first sample ranged from 1.2 and 1.3 org. rn–2 in Palizada Vieja to 1.8 org. rn–2 at Pájaros Island. The efficiency of the beam trawl net was estimated at 28% in naked substrate when trawlings were done countercurrent. Net efficiency decreased to 17% when trawlings were done along the water flow. Net efficiency on vegetated substrates was estimated at 15%. Size composition of the first tow was significantly different (Χ2, P = 0.05) from the total size distribution of penaeids present in the area enclosed in both substrates, although mean sizes were similar. However, the size distribution obtained with two replicates did not show significant differences in both substrates at the same probability level.
Quantity and quality of the particulate organic matter in Concepcion Bay, during the spawning season of the scallop Argopecten circularis (Sowerby, 1835)
Authors: Martínez-López A , Gárate-Lizárraga I
Published: November 2017

In this study we describe the spatial variability of the particulate organic matter (POM), expressed in terms of proteins, carbohydrates and chlorophylls, and the specific abundance of phytoplankton at Concepción Bay during the maximum reproductive peak of Argopecten circularis. The distribution of these variables shows two zones of high concentration of particles: one located in the first “third” of the bay and the other in the upper end. High values of chlorophyll a were due to the nannophytoplankton size class, which is the major contributor to the total phytoplankton abundance. The most abundant species of microphytoplankton were Chaetoceros curvisetus, C. lorenzianus C. teres, C. cinctus and Lithodesmiun undulatum. The phytoplanktonic-POM and non-phytoplanktonic-POM contribution estimated at the surface shows that the highest protein percentage (69.5%) was due to phytoplankton, whereas at 10 m depth it corresponded to non-phytoplankton-POM or detritus. This indicates that a high quality POM in the water column represents a potential source of food for the different development stages of A. circularis.

Resultados: os participantes revelaram: reconhecer o álcool como uma droga apenas se consumido de forma excessiva, cotidiana e que cause danos à saúde; que o consumo da substância encontra-se naturalizado, ao ponto de passar despercebido diante de vários contextos sociais; e que a mídia tem contribuído para essa naturalização. Conclusão: trata-se de uma situação preocupante no contexto da saúde, uma vez que situa as pessoas que consomem bebidas alcoólicas de forma “sociável” à margem das políticas de prevenção e enfrentamento, o que torna necessário fomentar debates públicos sobre a temática.

Objetivos: valorar os itens do custo direto do cateter vesical de demora (CVD) e realizar sua avaliação econômica parcial nos pacientes internados na unidades de terapia intensiva (UTI) com e sem infecções do trato urinário (ITU). Método: Trata-se de estudo descritivo do tipo série de casos, que utilizou a avaliação econômica parcial para estudar os custos diretos do cateterismo vesical de demora, analisando prontuários dos pacientes. Resultados: 48,45 % do custo do CVD devem-se ao sistema coletor de urina, seguido do cloridrato de lidocaína (20,38%) e cateter Foley (12,70%). O aumento dos custos do CVD, associado ao tratamento da ITU, representa um aumento do custo em 18 vezes em ambas as UTI, extrapolando o valor dos tratamentos em R$3.537.692,79, abrindo possibilidades para trabalhos de avaliação do custo-efetividade. Conclusão: a ITU associada ao CVD traz grande impacto no orçamento hospitalar, cabendo à análise econômica a alocação racional de recursos.
