Authors: Daru April Firman
Published: October 2018

Perkembangan web saat ini sangat pesat, hal ini ditandai dengan munculnya Conten Management System (CMS) dan LMS (Learning Management System). Keduanya memiliki fungsi yang tidak sama. CMS digunakan untuk mengembangan web sedangkan LMS digunakan untuk mengembangkan e learning. Aplikasi CMS dan LMS juga berbeda sehinggga proses pengembangannya dalam bentuk situs di internet juga berbeda. Oleh karena itu user yang akan menggunakan harus login di masing masing sistem.

Apabila CMS dan LMS dapat digabungkan dalam satu sistem, maka akan terbentuk satu situs atau web  berbasis e learing yang lengkap dengan single login yang dapat digunakan sebagai sarana pembelajaran berbasis web. User tidak perlu memiliki username dan password yang berbeda untuk menggunakan kedua sistem tersebut. User akan mendapatkan informasi dari web sekaligus dapat belajar menggunakan fasilitas e learning yang sudah diintegrasikan.

Complex of equipment «Clean workplace» for sample preparation during trace elements analysis: a new development of the «ANALIT «company
Authors: Korkina D. A. , Delyatinchuk N. N. , Grinshtein I. L. , Kuzin A. I.
Published: October 2018

Most of the errors in determining the trace contents of the elements are attributed to contamination at the stages of sample preparation and preparation of calibration solutions. One of the main sources of contamination is the laboratory air containing detectable impurities in the form of dust and aerosols. Reagents, dishes, dispensers and chemist himself may also act as sources of pollution. Background contents of the elements in a laboratory can be rather significant and lead to serious accidental and systematic errors, especially for wide-spread elements: Al, Si, Ca, Mg, Na, Fe, Zn, Cu, P, etc. A new development of the ANALIT company «Clean workplace» intended for sample preparation for trace spectral analysis is designed to solve the aforementioned problems.
Diagnostics of metal samples using the results of experimental and theoretical study of positively charged microparticles formed upon sample destruction
Authors: Golentsov D. A. , Gulin A. G. , Likhter Vladimir A. , Ulybyshev K. E.
Published: October 2018

Destruction of bodies is accompanied by formation of both large and microscopic fragments. Numerous experiments on the rupture of different samples show that those fragments carry a positive electric charge. his phenomenon is of interest from the viewpoint of its potential application to contactless diagnostics of the early stage of destruction of the elements in various technical devices. However, the lack of understanding the nature of this phenomenon restricts the possibility of its practical applications. Experimental studies were carried out using an apparatus that allowed direct measurements of the total charge of the microparticles formed upon sample rupture and determination of their size and quantity. The results of rupture tests of duralumin and electrical steel showed that the size of microparticles is several tens of microns, the particle charge per particle is on the order of 10–14 C, and their amount can be estimated as the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the sample at the point of discontinuity to the square of the microparticle size. A model of charge formation on the microparticles is developed proceeding from the experimental data and current concept of the electron gas in metals. The model makes it possible to determine the charge of the microparticle using data on the particle size and mechanical and electrical properties of the material. Model estimates of the total charge of particles show order-of-magnitude agreement with the experimental data.
Microwave method of nondestructive control of thermal characteristics of building material
Authors: Chernyshov V. N. , Zharikova M. V. , Chernyshov A. V.
Published: October 2018

A contactless microwave method and corresponding information-measuring system (IMS) for determination of thermal and physical characteristics thermal and physical characteristics (TPH) of building materials and products are considered. The method provides microwave heating of the samples by exposing the surface of the sample to electromagnetic field of the microwave range through a circular area, as well as temperature control of the environment and in the center of the circle. A microprocessor-based IMS system developed for practical implementation of the proposed method provides determination of the thermal and physical characteristics of the objects under study with high accuracy. A possibility of on-line automatic control of all operations of the thermophysical experiment, as well as the control of heat losses to the environment from the surface of the circular spot subjected?? to microwave heating and the timely correction of those losses to improve the accuracy of the final results is a distinctive feature of the system. Analysis of the calculated and experimental data showed that the elimination of the impact of the contact thermal resistance arising between the surfaces of the sample and the heating element on the determination of the desired thermal characteristics increases the accuracy of the method by 6— 8 %. The developed method allows more accurate determination of the thermal characteristics compared to other known techniques and can be used in practice of general thermal measurements and thermal engineering for construction.
Determination of the reactivity of cellulosic substrates towards enzymatic hydrolysis
Authors: Kashcheyeva E. I. , Budaeva V. V.
Published: October 2018

An ever-growing scientific interest in the development of effective methods for transformation of various cellulosic resources into fermentable sugars necessitates development of a universal procedure for determination of the reactivity of cellulosic substrates towards enzymatic hydrolysis. The practical significance consists in maximum accessibility of the procedure for the labs of pilot-production enterprises engaged in testing and scaling up the biotech processes. The developed procedure fully complies with modern requirements and relies on measuring the concentration of reducing sugars (spectrophotometry and HPLC) in the enzymatic hydrolyzates obtained from pre-prepared substrates, the biocatalysis being run by a cocktail composed of available CelluLuxe-A and BrewZyme-BGX. On top of that, the procedure implies gravimetric analysis of the solid residues after hydrolysis of substrates. Cellulosic biomasses can usually be fermented for control without any pretreatment, however, commercial celluloses can be used as well. The use of the developed procedure is shown to provide prompt and high-quality assessment of the reactivity of a series of chosen substrates to enzymatic hydrolysis. In contrast to the methods of enzymatic hydrolysis discussed in literature for evaluation of the enzyme efficiency, the developed procedure allows arranging of chosen cellulosic raw materials in a descending order of their reactivity to hydrolysis using the same multi-enzyme cocktail and, moreover can demonstrate dependence of the reactivity of substrates on the pretreatment method. The results can be presented as a dependence of the concentration (yield) of reducing sugars on the duration of enzymatic hydrolysis of the substrate, and also in the form of the calculated hydrolysis rates, final yields of reducing sugars including pentoses, content of glucose component of reducing substances and decrease in mass. The procedure was repeatedly tested on a wide range of cellulosic substrates and provided reliable results regarding evaluation of their reactivity and forecasting of the scale-up results of enzymatic hydrolysis, including that in aqueous medium when preparing nutrient broths for microbiological synthesis.
Nursing Processes Related to Unexpected ICU Admissions
Authors: Martin Jennifer , Heale Roberta , Lightfoot Nancy , Hill Laura
Published: October 2018

Nurses have the knowledge and skills to recognize and intervene when the condition of patients on medical or surgical units deteriorates. Despite this, deterioration is sometimes missed resulting in unexpected ICU admissions. This study explored the nursing process factors associated with unexpected ICU admissions. A chart audit was undertaken in a large urban hospital and data were collected measuring nursing assessment (vital signs), communication and documentation. Results showed that the most common reason for an unexpected ICU admission was respiratory distress. At the same time, respiratory rate was the least documented vital sign. Communication, documentation and recognition of patient deterioration play a key role in intervening and preventing unexpected ICU admissions. Attention to adequate staffing levels as well as implementation of clinical tools may assist nurses to more readily address patient deterioration and prevent unexpected ICU admissions.

Authors: Montgomery Phyllis , Nangia Parveen , Mossey Sharolyn , Rancourt Sarah
Published: October 2018

Background: In the past decade, statistics indicate that over 80% of the six million Canadians aged 65 or older resided in non-institutional settings. To sustain their health in the community, there is national evidence about the interplay among alterations in physical, emotional, cognitive, social, cultural, and geographical factors. Although much is known about mental health challenges of this population, less is known about determinants of self-perceived mental health.

Aim: The primary aim of this study was to determine personal and external variables that are associated with self-perceived mental health in two groups of community dwelling Canadians aged 65 to 79 and those aged 80 and older.

Methods: The study design was a secondary analysis of Canadian Community Health Survey (2014) public use micro-data file. A sub-set of health, determinants of health, and health system utilization variables were extracted for 19,502 community-dwelling older adults residing in ten provinces and three territories.

Results: Self-perceived mental health was significantly associated with several personal and external variables relative to age group. For both age groups, a positive perception of mental health was predicated on self-perceived physical health, emotional functioning, general life satisfaction, sense of belonging and income.

Conclusion: Findings support the potential for innovative interdisciplinary models to optimize older adults' mental health for living independently.
L’impact de l’exposition bilingue sur l’acquisition du vocabulaire dans un contexte francophone minoritaire
Authors: Gervais Katie Lynn , Mayer-Crittenden Chantal
Published: October 2018

L’objet de cette étude était d’examiner la relation entre le montant d’exposition à deux langues et l’acquisition du vocabulaire dans ces langues chez des enfants bilingues en situation linguistique minoritaire francophone.

Les données utilisées proviennent d’une étude longitudinale par Auteur (en préparation). Soixante enfants à développement typique âgés de cinq et six ans ont participé à l’étude. Ces participants ont été divisés en deux groupes : enfants franco-dominants (FD) et enfants anglo-dominants (AD). Tous les participants ont été soumis à des tests mesurant le vocabulaire réceptif et expressif, et ce, en français et en anglais. Les scores obtenus ont été comparés à des normes monolingues régionales obtenues auprès d’enfants ayant le même statut linguistique(Auteur, 2014), le cas échéant, ou aux normes monolingues publiées.

D’une part, les résultats ont montré que lesenfants FD réussissent moins bien que les enfants franco-ontariens monolingues sur les tests de vocabulaire réceptif en français. Pour le test de vocabulaire expressif en français, les enfants FD ont réussi moins bien que la norme publiée. D’autre part, il n’y avait pas de différence significative entre les enfants AD et les monolingues anglophones sur les tests de vocabulaire réceptif et expressif en anglais.Alors, il semble que lorsque la langue dominante de l’enfant est une langue minoritaire, l’acquisition du vocabulaire dans cette langue est moindre. Au contraire, lorsque la langue dominante de l’enfant est une langue majoritaire, il semble que le vocabulaire dans cette langue soit plus grand parce qu’il y est plus exposé.
Executive Function and Attention in Children Born Prematurely
Authors: Beaudoin Celeste , Bélanger Roxanne
Published: October 2018

Aim - The aim of this study is to measure the abilities of premature school-aged children in tasks of attention, working memory and executive functioning in order to determine if premature newborns are more at risk to develop delays compared to children born at term.

Method - The sampling will be based on a previous study where five school-age premature children from Northern Ontario will be assessed using standardized tests. Each parent will be given a standardized questionnaire designed to measure the executive functioning of his or her child. The results will be then compared to those of a control group born at term without any neonatal complications. Participants will be matched according to gender, age, language status and socio-economic status. Preliminary analysis has shown that premature infants have reduced performance in tasks such as attention and executive functioning (inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility). The influence of gestational age, birth weight and socio-economic status will be explained.

Importance of the Study - Premature children are more vulnerable to developmental and behavioural delays (Taheri, Goudarzi, Shariat, Nariman, & Martin, 2017). Several studies have shown that delays in executive functions are associated with lower academic achievement (Hüning et al., 2017). This study will help us determine the nature of the impact on non-language skills in premature infants. Preliminary results will allow us to better understand the impact of prematurity on the development of attention and executive functioning (inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility), as it relates to language.
The Relationship Between Motor Skills, Psychosocial Adjustment and Peer Victimization in School-Aged Children

Published: October 2018

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between childrens’ motor competence, psychosocial adjustment, peer victimization, physical activity participation and obesity.  Using the Elaborated Environmental Stress Hypothesis as the framework, we hypothesized that multiple stressors influence children with poor motor competence and that the pathway from motor competence to psychosocial maladjustment is more complex than initially thought.  A sample of child-parent dyads (n = 51; children ages 7 to 10 years), were recruited from two educational institutions in Sudbury, Ontario. Child participants completed self-report measures on peer victimization, depression symptoms, loneliness and anxiety symptoms across five dimensions (social phobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, separation anxiety, panic disorder and generalized anxiety). Child participants also completed the Test of Gross Motor Development-3.  Parent participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire and a questionnaire on their child’s levels of participation in physical activity. For boys, Pearson product-moment correlations revealed that lower motor competence was significantly related to depressive symptoms, social phobia, separation anxiety symptoms, loneliness and peer victimization. For girls, lower motor competence was significantly related to separation anxiety symptoms and loneliness. No correlations were found between motor competence, weight status and physical activity participation.  Findings are consistent with previous literature. These findings suggest that (1) boys are more psychosocially affected and victimized than girls when measured against motor competence and, (2) children are experiencing these issues as early as age 7, which is a time when children are starting to build social relationships. More research is required strengthen these findings.

Purpose: Emergency departments (ED’s) often serve as the access point to health services for individuals living with mental health challenges, with mental health crisis (MHC) accounting for 15% of all presentations to ED’s in Canada. Consumers’ experiences of emergency mental health services have widely been reported as negative. This research aims to explore the experiences of individuals accessing the ED for MHC.

Method: A supra-analysis was conducted using data from four semi-structured interviews collected from a larger study exploring stigma, discrimination and resilience in people experiencing mental health challenges. Supra-analysis aims to explore an aspect of the data from a different theoretical perspective. Transcripts were selected based on a participant history of voluntarily accessing emergency services for MHC. Data analysis was completed using the process of thematic analysis which involved immersion in the data, the development and refinement of codes leading to themes.

Findings: A major theme of abandonment was identified in participant interviews with subthemes of; geographic, socioemotional and therapeutic abandonment. Participants reported that the locations of care, lack of social/emotional engagement and lack of health care providers’ (HCP) knowledge led to negative experiences attending ED’s. Participants also reported a lack of desire to access emergency services in the future.

Conclusion: Future research is vital to enhance the delivery of emergency services, to reduce the feelings of abandonment experienced by individuals accessing the ED for MHC. Training and education must be provided to HCP’s staffing ED’s that focuses on providing high quality, appropriate emergency services to this vulnerable population.

The products covered by the common name polyurea were first developed and marketed in the United States in the 1980’s In the first period polyurea was used as a protective coating of polyurethane foam used for thermal insulation of roofs, and in the 1990s many other uses were quickly disseminated. In Europe this technology appeared in the second half of the nineties and the market for polyurea applications started to develop very dynamically in the recent years. Polyurea coatings, due to their extremely versatile physical properties such as watertightness, extremely high wear resistance, resistance to chemical and mechanical stresses, high elasticity and stretchability as well as resistance to freeze-thaw cycles, are increasingly popular, and more and more frequently used in the broadly understood construction. As a rule, the growing demand for technology fosters its development and enhances the knowledge of those who use it, so that it is used for its intended purpose, while maintaining security and enforcement procedures. However, in the absence of such knowledge, misconceptions about the use of polyurea spray coating technologies are emerging, both at the design stage and during the execution phase.

The Expansion of Local Literature and Literary Geography Research
Authors: Zhu Jianguo
Published: October 2018

Literary geography is a new research literature developed and developedby Chinese scholars. It is also a new method of criticism and research literature. It arises from the study of ancient Chinese literature and develops into the study of modern and contemporary Chinese literature, foreign literature and folk literature. In the discipline construction of literary geography, the collection and collation of local literature can provide many first-hand materials for literary geography, and provide many important cases for literary geography research, thus playing an important role.The cultural, literary and natural geographical elements preserved in the local literature have repeatedly illustrated the natural connection between literature and geography, which strongly argues that geography, is the starting point and foundation of literary development, and is also an important object of literary criticism and literary studies. The local literature also includes first-hand information obtained from field trips and field surveys, including photographs, videos, recordings and objects of natural landscapes and customs in a certain place, which are of great significance forthe study of literary geography.

Physical geography is the basic discipline of geography and the cornerstone of comprehensive geography research. Based on the main research progress of physical geography, This paper considered the development direction of natural geography in the new era. Driven by global environmental change, physical geography and its sub-disciplines have gained new development in heritage. The research progress of physical geography in recent years mainly includes the integration and deepening of natural geographical processes, the integration of terrestrial surface systems, land-sea interactions and regional ecological environment management applications. The development of physical geography and its sub-disciplines needs to face the global environmental change and human needs, explore the application of new technologies and methods, conduct multi-factor and multi-process integration research, develop and improve geographic models, simulate and predict environmental change and sustainable development, and serve Major national needs and government decisions. In the process of development, it is urgent to pay attention to the following frontier areas and directions:(1) Geomorphology needs to focus on strengthening the relationship between geomorphology and global environmental change and human activities;(2) Biogeography needs to deepen the frontier fields such as attribute geography and global change biogeography. Exploring the spatial distribution of biogeography and human needs in the context of connection changes;(3) Hydrology needs to carry out comprehensive integration research of multi-element, multi-process and multi-scale, and develop emerging subject areas such as ecological hydrology, social hydrology and hydromorphology;(4) Physical Geography needs to be comprehensively introduced into climate change research’s role in the major international climate change research program, the climate change framework convention, etc;(5) Comprehensive physical geography needs to face the country’s major needs, focusing on the coupling of human and land systems In the areas of resource and environmental carrying capacity evaluation, ecological security pattern and ecological civilization construction, etc.;(6) Physical geography needs to deepen the coupling of natural and human elements and process research ‘establishing and developing complex system simulation model’ analysis and simulation change environment Nature, humanity Su coupling mechanism and the dynamic changes of land surface systems.
