Prediction of Punching Shear Capacity of Two-Ways FRP Reinforced Concrete Slabs
Authors: Kara Ilker , Sinani Besian
Published: February 2019

An innovative solution to the corrosion problem is the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) as an alternative reinforcing material in concrete structures. In addition to the non corrodible nature of FRP materials, they also have a high strength-to-weight ratio that makes them attractive as reinforcement for concrete structures. Extensive research programs have been carried out to investigate the flexural behavior of concrete members reinforced with FRP reinforcement. On the other hand, the shear behavior of concrete members, especially punching shear of two-way slabs, reinforced with FRP bars has not yet been fully explored. The existing provisions for punching of slabs in most international design standards for reinforced concrete are based on tests of steel reinforced slabs. The elastic stiffness and bonding characteristics of FRP reinforcement are sufficiently different from those of steel to affect punching strength. In the present study, the equations of existing design standards for shear capacity of FRP reinforced concrete beams have been evaluated using the large database collected. The experimental punching shear strengths were compared with the available theoretical predictions, including the CSA S806 (CSA 2012), ACI-440.1R-15 (ACI 2015), BS 8110 (BSI 1997), JSCE (1997) a number of models proposed by some researchers in the literature. The existing design methods for FRP reinforced concrete slabs give conservative predictions for the specimens in the database. This paper also presents a simple yet improved model to calculate the punching shear capacity of FRPreinforced concrete slabs. The proposed model provides the accurate results in calculating the punching shear strengths of FRP-reinforced concrete slender slabs.
Cultural Spaces Research on Architecture and Identity
Authors: Herbig Ulrike
Published: February 2019

Architecture is the result of a multilayered process influenced by numerous factors. Thus, comprehensive architectural research can only be achieved through a holistic approach and in collaboration with experts from different disciplines. Although interdisciplinary research is a common framework for architectural studies and should be an integral part of the education for future architects, yet, this is not usually the case. With its module entitled “Cultural Spaces – Research on Architecture and Identity” at the TU Wien, a set of courses has been developed to arouse the interest of students of architecture in setting up their own research project. This paper will describe the research approach that is taught in the framework of the module, using the example of the class of 2016, which was focused on the architecture of the world heritage sites of Historic Centres of Berat and Gjirokastra in Albania.
Herniated Lumbar Disc and Nursing Care
Authors: Elshani Besnik , Krasniqi Salih , Gjyliqi Rexhep
Published: February 2019

Spinal disc herniation, also known as a slipped disc, is a medical condition affecting the spine in which a tear in the outer, fibrous ring of an intervertebral disc allows the soft, central portion to bulge out beyond the damaged outer rings. Disc herniation is usually due to age-related degeneration of the outer ring, known as the anulus fibrosus, although trauma, lifting injuries, or straining have been implicated as well. Tears are almost always postero-lateral (on the back of the sides) owing to the presence of the posterior longitudinal ligament in the spinal canal. Disc herniations are normally a further development of a previously existing disc protrusion, a condition in which the outermost layers of the anulus fibrosus are still intact, but can bulge when the disc is under pressure. In contrast to a herniation, none of the central portion escapes beyond the outer layers. Most minor herniations heal within several weeks. Anti-inflammatory treatments for pain associated with disc herniation, protrusion, bulge, or disc tear are generally effective. Severe herniations may not heal of their own accord and may require surgery. The condition is widely referred to as a slipped disc, but this term is not medically accurate as the spinal discs are firmly attached between the vertebrae and cannot "slip" out of place. Lumbar disc herniations occur in the lower back, most often between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebral bodies or between the fifth and the sacrum. Symptoms can affect the lower back, buttocks, thigh, anal/genital region (via the perineal nerve), and may radiate into the foot and/or toe. The sciatic nerve is the most commonly affected nerve, causing symptoms of sciatica. The femoral nerve can also be affected[25]and cause the patient to experience a numb, tingling feeling throughout one or both legs and even feet or even a burning feeling in the hips and legs. A hernia in the lumbar region often compresses the nerve root exiting at the level below the disk. Thus, a herniation of the L4/5 disc will compress the L5 nerve root. With the patient and doctor, plan a pain control regimen. Encourage the patient to express his concerns about the disorder. Urge the patient to perform as much self-care as his immobility and pain allow. Use antiembolism stockings, as prescribed, and encourage the patient to move his legs, as allowed. Assess the patient’s pain status and his response to the pain-control regimen. Perform neurovascular checks of the patient’s legs such as color, motion, temperature, and sensation. Monitor vital signs, and check for bowel sounds and abdominal distention. Teach the patient about treatments, which include bed rest and pelvic traction. Urge the patient to maintain an ideal body weight to prevent lordosis caused by obesity. Discuss all prescribed medications with the patient. If surgery is required, explain all preoperative and postoperative procedures and treatments to the patient and his family.
A need for an integrative security model for semantic stream reasoning systems
Authors: Aliti Admirim , Jajaga Edmond , Sevrani Kozeta
Published: February 2019

State-of-the-art security frameworks have been extensively addressing security issues for web resources, agents and services in the Semantic Web. The provision of Stream Reasoning as a new area spanning Semantic Web and Data Stream Management Systems has eventually opened up new challenges. Namely, their decentralized nature, the metadata descriptions, the number of users, agents, and services, make securing Stream Reasoning systems difficult to handle. Thus, there is an inherent need of developing new security models which will handle security and automate security mechanisms to a more autonomous system that supports complex and dynamic relationships between data, clients and service providers. We plan to validate our approach on a typical application of stream data, on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In particular, WSNs for water quality monitoring will serve as a case study. The paper describes the initial findings and research plan for building a consistent security model for stream reasoning systems.
Permission-based Privacy Analysis for Android Applications
Authors: Gashi Erza , Tafa Zhilbert
Published: February 2019

While Information and Communication Technology (ICT) trends are moving towards the Internet of Things (IoT), mobile applications are becoming more and more popular. Mostly due to their pervasiveness and the level of interaction with the users, along with the great number of advantages, the mobile applications bring up a great number of privacy related issues as well. These platforms can gather our very sensitive private data by only granting them a list of permissions during the installation process. Additionally, most of the users can find it difficult, or even useless, to analyze system permissions. Thus, their guess of app’s safety mostly relies on the features like rating and popularity, rather than in understanding context of listed permissions.

In this paper we investigate the relationship between the features collected from Android Market API 23 (such as Popularity, Total Number of Permissions, Number of Dangerous Permissions, Rating and Package Size) to app’s privacy violation. To show the influence of each feature we use linear regression and R squared statistics. The conducted research can contribute to the classification of mobile applications with regards to the threat on user’s privacy.
Decision making based on data analyses using data warehouses
Authors: Haxhiu Valdrin
Published: February 2019

Data warehouses are a collection of several databases, whose goal is to help different companies and corporations make important decisions about their activities. These decisions are taken from the analyses that are made to the data within the data warehouse. These data are taken from data that companies and corporations collect on daily basis from their branches that may be located in different cities, regions, states and continents. Data that are entered to data warehouses are historical data and they represent that part of data that is important for making decisions. These data go under a transformation process in order to accommodate with the structure of the objects within the databases in the data warehouse. This is done because the structure of the relational databases is not similar with the structure of the databases (multidimensional databases) within the data warehouse. The first ones are optimized for transactions on daily basis like: entering, changing, deleting and retrieving data through simple queries, the second ones are optimized for retrieving data through multidimensional queries, which enable us to extract important information. This information helps to make important decisions by learning which are the weak points and the strong points of the company, in order to invest more on the weak points and to strengthen the strong points, increasing the profits of the company. The goal of this paper is to treat data analyses for decision making from a data warehouse by using OLAP (online analytical processing) analysis. For this treatment we used the Analysis Services of Microsoft SQL Server 2016 platform. We analyzed the data of an IT Store with branches in different cities in Kosovo and came to a conclusion for some sales trends. This paper emphasizes the role of data warehouses in decision making.
Applying a Revised Approach of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps on a Hybrid Electrical Energy System
Authors: Antoniou Ekavi , Vergini Eleni , Groumpos Peter
Published: February 2019

Complex systems modeling is a rapidly developing research field which incorporates various scientific sectors from bio medicine and energy to economic and social sciences. However, as the systems’ complexity increases pure mathematical modeling techniques prove to be a rather laborious task which demands wasting many resources and in many occasions, could not lead to the desired system response. This realization led researchers turn their attention into the field of computational intelligence; Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic etc. In this way scientists were able to provide a model of a system which is strongly characterized by fuzziness and uncertainties. Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM) in another methodology which lies in the field of computational intelligence. FCM came as a combination of Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic and were first introduced by B. Kosko in 1986. All these years they have been applied on a variety of systems such as social, psychological, medical, agricultural, marketing, business management, energy, advertising etc, both for systems modeling and decision-making support systems, with very promising results. Classical FCM approach uses the experts’ knowledge in order to create the initial knowledge base of each system. Based on the experts’ knowledge, the interrelations among the system variables are determined and the system response is defined. Through years, improvements have been made and learning algorithms were embodied in the initial approach. Learning algorithms used data information and history to update the weights (the interconnections) among concepts (variables), contributed to the optimization of FCMs and reached more efficient systems’ response. However, all these decades, researchers have mentioned some weak points as well. In the last years substantial research has been made in order to overcome some of the well-known limitations of the FCM methodology. This paper will apply a revised approach of the Fuzzy Cognitive Maps method on a techno-economic study of an autonomous hybrid system photovoltaic and geothermal energy Specifically, the FCM model of this system includes twenty-five concepts and three of them are considered as outputs, the total system efficiency, the total energy production and the total system cost. The aim of the study is to provide maximum performance with the minimum total cost. To this end results for both the classic and revised approach of the FCM method are provided and discussed. Computational Intelligence and especially Fuzzy Cognitive Maps are a very promising field in modeling complex systems. The latest approaches of the method show that FCM can open new paths towards higher efficiency, more accurate models and effective decision-making results.

Monuments, Protection and Rehabilitation Zones of Vienna. Genesis and status in legislation and administration
Authors: Jaeger-Klein Caroline
Published: February 2019

Austria has a very long tradition in monument protection. Already in 1853, the central commission to research and preserve the built historic monuments started to operate. The current law on monument protection is from the year 1923. Hence, the most successful steps to secure the country’s built cultural heritage date back to a new provincial legislation, administration and finance system implemented in the early 70ies of the 19th century based on so-called Old-City Preservation Acts. By this sensitive approach, Austria safeguarded the most important historic city centers of Austria like Salzburg, Graz and Vienna vividly in their traditional characteristics without turning them into museum cities without contemporary life. Especially Vienna managed to balance the protection of its extent historic urban environments with parallel ongoing directed urban expansion.

This paper will reflect the genesis of this very successful integrated conservation process for its capital Vienna in the context of the Austrian tradition of monument protection and the European Year of Architectural Heritage 1975. Further, it will outline its legal, administrative and financial framework. Finally, it will describe its different phases of development reacting on shifting goals during the course of the times.

State Feedback of Complex Systems Using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps
Authors: Mpelogianni Vassiliki , Arvanitakis Ioannis , Groumpos Peter
Published: February 2019

Complex systems have become a research area with increasing interest over the last years. The emergence of new technologies, the increase in computational power with reduced resources and cost, the integration of the physical world with computer based systems has created the possibility of significantly improving the quality of life of humans. While a significant degree of automation within these systems exists and has been provided in the past decade with examples of the smart homes and energy efficient buildings, a paradigm shift towards autonomy has been noted. The need for autonomy requires the extraction of a model; while a strict mathematical formulation usually exists for the individual subsystems, finding a complete mathematical formulation for the complex systems is a near impossible task to accomplish.

For this reason, methods such as the Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM) have emerged that are able to provide with a description of the complex system. The system description results from empirical observations made from experts in the related subject – integration of expert’s knowledge – that provide the required cause-effect relations between the interacting components that the FCM needs in order to be formulated. Learning methods are employed that are able to improve the formulated model based on measurements from the actual system. The FCM method, that is able to inherently integrate uncertainties, is able to provide an adequate model for the study of a complex system.

With the required system model, the next step towards the development of a autonomous systems is the creation of a control scheme. While FCM can provide with a system model, the system representation proves inadequate to be utilized to design classic model based controllers that require a state space or frequency domain representation. In state space representation, the state vector contains the variables of the system that can describe enough about the system to determine its future behavior in absence of external variables. Thus, within the components – the nodes of the FCM, ideally those can be identified that constitute the state vector of the system.

In this work the authors propose the creation of a state feedback control law of complex systems via Fuzzy Cognitive Maps. Given the FCM representation of a system, initially the components-states of the system are identified. Given the identified states, a FCM representation of the controller occurs where the controller parameters are the weights of the cause-effect relations of the system. The FCM of the system then is augmented with the FCM of the controller. An example of the proposed methodology is given via the use of the cart-pendulum system, a common benchmark system for testing the efficiency of control systems.
Seismic actions induced by cladding panels on precast concrete frame structures
Authors: Dal Lago Bruno , Foti Francesco , Martinelli Luca
Published: February 2019

The strong earthquakes occurred in Southern Europe in the last decade pointed out a poor seismic performance of the connection system of the cladding of precast industrial structures. The cladding of these buildings usually consists of sandwich concrete panels of remarkable mass, connected to the frame structure with mechanical devices. The estimation of the out-of-plane seismic action on these connections is a key step for their correct proportioning. However, the formulation currently provided in the Eurocode 8 for the estimation of the seismic action on non-structural elements was calibrated with different objectives. Furthermore, given there is no in-plane structure-panel interaction, a quote of the panel mass is lumped in correspondence of their connection for a correct proportioning of the frame structure. The designers need to make assumptions on both aspects that often bring to remarkably different solutions.

The paper presents a consistent dynamic formulation of the problem of the vibration of rigid bodies connected with cantilever columns. The solution brings to closed-form equations to evaluate the exact out-of-plane action on the connections and the correct amount of panel mass to be lumped.

Reducing the Porosity and Sealing Cracks by Using Crystalline Admixture in Conventional Concrete
Authors: Krelani Visar , Ferrara Liberato
Published: February 2019

There is a continuous increase of quality on civil engineering materials in developed countries and parallel increase of need for new constructions in developing countries. Professional community should propose solutions for the durability that can resist in different severe environments. The most important factor that can affect concrete durability is represented by the pore distribution. Transport properties can take place through the porous network inside the cementitious composites and the aggregates interface, permitting the ingress of aggressive agents damaging concrete function intrinsically as a material and the wellfunctioning of the entire structure. The use of a crystalline admixture during the mixing procedure can fill the pores and capillarity of the cement composites, while in case of the appearance of the cracks, can perform as sealing agent, representing a secondary innovative benefit. Concrete structure, in this case will be more durable and there will be no need for unplanned intervention.

Using of Proper Pavement Material for the Intersections with Slow-moving Traffic
Authors: Selimi Bekim
Published: February 2019

Use of proper pavement material for some of intersections need special attention by road designers. At Camp Bondsteel-Kosovo on 2002 were built four road intersections using the concrete as pavement material. Heavy and slow-moving trucks that are turning or accelerating exposed these intersections to some of the highest stress level. After some years this intresections start deteriorating on their surface due to friction. The concrete pavements did not survive this period of usage and after eight years were removed and replaced with asphalt pavements. After more than seven years, the asphalt has shown minor distress but is still in good condition after years of outstanding service. This issue was resolved using aggregate and aggregate blend who meet higher standards. This blend of aggregate has high internal friction developing the degree of interlock needed to resist friction and or shearing. In this case, tough, durable aggregates were necessary, while rounded aggregate avoided in both the coarse and fine fractions. Due to slow-moving traffic on the hot weather, the binder has been selected with higher temperature grade than climate conditions. The asphalt section is still going strong after seven years.

We have examined 30 patients with type 2 diabetes to study the clinical and functional status of the peripheral nervous system in patients with diabetic distal polyneuropathy. Our works showed the importance of both clinical and electroneuroneuromiographic examination of patients with diabetes who have or do not have objective manifestations of polyneuropathy. This allows for early detection of the initial effects of polyneuropathy. In patients with symptomatic stage of diabetic polyneuropathy, this method allows to establish the pattern, nature, and severity of lesions of fibers of peripheral nerve trunks.

Currently, much attention is paid to the importance of studying the subjective features of the disease, noting that the nature of the patient's complaints, their analysis and changes in personality characteristics under the influence of the disease are no less important than the data of objective (instrumental) studies. The importance of the relationship of a person to one's health and illness, the cognitive and emotional components of these relationships, was shown to emphasize the importance of the internal picture of the disease when studying the mechanisms of the disease and the therapeutic process leading to recovery. It is shown that the character of the disease itself, and its severity, and the rate of development affect the formation of the internal picture of the disease; How sudden and unexpected was its beginning; This is an exacerbation of a chronic disease or acute pathology. It is proved that the influence of premorbid personal qualities and psychological characteristics of a person's personality on the development and course of the disease is as important as those changes in the psyche that arise in the suffering person under the influence of the pathological process. Art-therapeutic technique can be used as a diagnostic and therapeutic technique, as it allows to diagnose the internal picture of the disease; To separate man and illness; See yourself and the disease from the outside; Take responsibility for the current situation; Feel not a victim of the disease, but a master; Is a resource and increases the motivation for recovery.
