Authors: Rassweiler Jens
Published: March 2019

Objectives: To present the results of a multicentric phase-II study, representing the next step according to the IDEAL-criteria in the evualuation process of robot-assisted flexible ureterorenocopy. Material and methods: The Avicenna Roboflex consists of a console and the manipulator. Peri-operative data from 266 patients who underwent robotic retrograde intra-renal stone surgery (robRIRS) between January 2015 and March 2016 at two centres (Heilbronn, Ankara) were recorded prospectively. Six surgeons were involved in the study. We treated 90 females and 176 male patients with a mean age of 55 (2576) years. 118 stones were located on the right and 148 on the left side. Mean number of stones was 1.8 with a mean stone burden of 1620 (98-10600)mm3; 43% of the patients were pre-stented. A 12/14F access sheath was used in all cases; laser fragmentation was accomplished by a high-energy laser device applying actual concepts of laser lithotripsy. Results: Preparation of the robot required 4:30min (range 3-8min); docking time was 4 min (range 1-29min). Console time to identify the stone amounted 4min (range 1-12min.); total operating time was 96 min (range 58-193min) including a console time of 65(16-174) min. Laser lithotripsy was performed in 245 patients (92%), 112(42%) patients required extraction of larger fragments using N-gage-basket. The stone clearance rate amounted 25(9-101)mmA3/min. Total fluoroscopy time was time 2:30min with a radiation dosis of 297 cGy*cm2. 117(44%) of our patients were stented post-operatively of which 75(28%) had the stent on a string removed on day 1 together with the Foley catheter. In 2(0.7%) cases we had to convert to classical FURS due to technical failure of the robot. Median post-operative hospital stay was 1(1-30) day. We encountered one case of urosepsis (Clavien 3a) requiring treatment on an intensive care unit.

The use of TS498 and TS-EN-1991-1-4 in the Wind Load Calculation of Reinforced Concrete Minarets Considering Soil-Structure Interaction
Authors: Türkeli Erdem
Published: March 2019

The minarets

are among the most beautiful, meaningful and delicate works of Islamic

architecture. At early times, although these slender structures were built

short and with masonry stone, as time progressed, the construction of minarets

with reinforced concrete and that are thin-walled and long were preferred. This

has caused many reinforced concrete minarets to be damaged or destroyed under

wind and earthquake forces. With regard to this issue, because of the severe

winds, many minaret collapse incident took place in Turkey. Due to this reason,

in this study, the wind loads acting on a selected reinforced concrete minaret

have been calculated in details according to TS498 and TS-EN-1991-1-4

standards. In the calculations made, the effects of soil structure interaction

on the calculated wind loads were also examined. At the end of the study, the

wind loads obtained in the calculations were compared. The obtained results

show that soil structure interaction is a negative effect on wind loads, this

interaction increases them and that the soil structure interaction should be

included in wind load calculations.
A New Power Allocation Method with a Nonlinear Cost Constraint in Stratified Random Sampling
Authors: Şahin Tekin Sinem Tuğba , Metin Cenker Burak , Özdemir Yaprak Arzu
Published: March 2019

When

the population is heterogeneous, stratified random sampling is generally

preferred for estimation the population parameters. There are a lot of sample

allocation methods in stratified random sampling. However, most of sample

allocation methods ignore the selection cost or assume the selection cost as equal

in all strata. Bankier also suggested a power allocation method without

considering the cost function [1]. However, in real life applications, it is

very rare to come across such cases. Therefore, it would be more realistic to

take the cost into account for allocation procedures. In this study, a new

power allocation method is proposed by taking into account a non-linear cost

function constraint in Bankier’s method. The Neyman allocation and square root

allocation results are also obtained by using this new allocation method. The

performance of the proposed method is examined for different model parameters and

their different cases using data from 2012 Structural Business Survey of TURKSTAT.

USING QUANTUM-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS FOR PREDICTING ANTI-RADICAL (НО∙) ACTIVITY OF RELATED STRUCTURES CONTAINING A CINNAMIC MOLD FRAGMENT. I. DERIVATIVES OF CINNAMIC ACID, CHALCON AND FLAVANON
Authors: Oganesyan E. T. , Shatokhin S. S. , Glushko A. A.
Published: March 2019

45 compounds uniting 3 groups of derivatives of cinnamic acid, chalcone and flavanone, have been studied. Each of them includes 15 substances. The analyzed compounds contain a common structural fragment, which is a cinnamic acid residue (cinnamoyl fragment).

The aimis to study the quantum-chemical parameters of the listed groups of the compounds in order to predict possible ways of their interaction with the most aggressive and dangerous of the active oxygen species (ROS) – a hydroxyl radical.

Materials and methods.For the analyzed structures, the Mulliken charges (a.u.), bond numbers (Nμ), unsaturation index (IUA), and electron density values on all 9-carbon atoms of the cinnamoyl fragment have been determined. The calculations have been carried out on a workstation with an Intel Xeon E5-1620 3.5 GHz processor, 20 GB of RAM. The semi-empirical method PM7 was used (WinMopac 2016 program). The ORCA 4.1 program was used to calculate the energies of homolytic cleavage of the O – H bond.

Results.The analysis of Mulliken charges (a.u.), bonded numbers (Nμ), unsaturation indices (IUA), and electron density revealed a number of regularities on the basis of which it can be concluded, that taking into account the nature of the substituent, the most probable for addition in the aryl residueare positions C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4 and C-5. In the propenone fragment, the radical НО∙ first attacks position 8, then 7. For the hydroxy-substituted, the energy of the homolytic breaking of the H – O bond has been determined and it has been established that the spatial difficulty of phenols (compounds 13k, 13x, 13f, 14k, 14x, 14f) H-O bonds are the smallest and on average are -160.63 kJ/mol. It has also been established that the higher the positive Mulliken charge on the carbon atom with which the phenolic hydroxyl is bound, the lower the energy of the homolytic breaking of the H – O bond and the more stable the resulting phenoxy radicalis.

Conclusion.The carried out quantum chemical calculations allow us to conclude that the studied classes of compounds can be used to bind the hydroxyl radical formed in the body, causing various kinds of mutations, leading, among other things, to the development of oncological diseases.

Authors: ARIKAN Serkan
Published: March 2019

In PISA 2015 the average mathematics score of Turkey decreased
dramatically. One of the reasons could be the psychometric properties of
mathematics items of PISA 2015. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate PISA
mathematics items for language DIF. In the study, three different DIF detection
methods were used: logistic regression (LR), Mantel-Haenszel (MH) and
structural equation modeling (SEM). Eleven items were found to have DIF when
Turkish and English speaking students were compared. The effect sizes of
mathematics performance differences between Turkish and English speaking
students before and after excluding DIF items did not change which indicated
that DIF items did not cause Turkish students to perform lower than expected.
All the DIF items were open response format in which answers were rated by
experts and computers. The DIF items favoring Turkish students were mainly
related to the basic cognitive process.

Using a panel of more 400 observed district and municipal inEast Java. It provides empirical evidence on how the local tax as well as the retribution in the neighborhood affect the local tax. The results support the existence of fiscal externalities: an increase in the tax and retribution of local neighbors exerts a positive effect on the local tax which is shown by spatial weighting variable both tax and retribution. Several factors that are hypothesized affect local tax also significant to determine local tax, these factors such as original regional income, and regional domestic product as a proxy of income.

 
A Markov regime switching approach to estimating the volatility of Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) returns
Authors: K. Oseifuah Emmanuel , H. Korkpoe Carl
Published: March 2019

The study used the Markov regime switching model to investigate the presence of regimes in the volatility dynamics of the returns of JSE All-Share Index (ALSI). Volatility regimes are as a result of sudden changes in the underlying economy generating the market returns. In all, twelve candidate models were fitted to the data. Estimates from the regime switching model were compared to the industry standard non-switching GARCH (1,1) using the Deviance Information Criteria (DIC). The results show that the two-regime switching EGARCH model with skewed Student t innovations describes better the return of the JSE Index. Additionally, we backtest the model results in order to confirm our findings that the two-regime switching EGARCH is the best of the models for the sample period.

Authors: Chen Jianfei , Zhang Shujun , Han Xiaoyu , Zhang Liang , Peng Yongzhen
Published: March 2019

In this study, the side-stream heat-shock treatment was used to start up and maintain the nitritation of real sewage. Complete nitrification was obtained when the real sewage was treated in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). Then, about 50% of the mixed sludge was collected from the SBR and treated with the heat-shock treatment at 60 °C for 40 min in another reactor every 2 weeks. After providing the heat-shock treatment for four times, the effluent nitrate in the SBR gradually decreased from 22.5 to 3.2 mg/L, while the nitrite accumulation rate increased from 4.4% to 81.8%, indicating a successful start-up of nitritation. Further, the sewage nitritation was stable with the regular side-steam heat-shock treatment for 91 days, and the ammonium removal efficiency of 80.6% and nitrite accumulation rate of 91.2% were achieved. This study suggests that the side-stream heat-shock treatment could be used to start up sewage nitritation and maintain stability for a long-term operation.
Identification of Hydroxamic Acid Based Selective HDAC1 Inhibitors: Computer Aided Drug Design Studies
Authors: Patel Preeti , Patel Vijay K. , Singh Avineesh , Jawaid Talha , Kamal Mehnaz , Rajak Harish
Published: March 2019

Background:

Overexpression of Histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) is responsible for carcinogenesis
by promoting epigenetic silence of tumour suppressor genes. Thus, HDAC1 inhibitors have
emerged as the potential therapeutic leads against multiple human cancers, as they can block the activity
of particular HDACs, renovate the expression of several tumour suppressor genes and bring about
cell differentiation, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

Methods:

The present research work comprises atom-based 3D-QSAR, docking, molecular dynamic
simulations and DFT (density functional theory) studies on a diverse series of hydroxamic acid derivatives
as selective HDAC1 inhibitors. Two pharmacophoric models were generated and validated by
calculating the enrichment factors with the help of the decoy set. The Four different 3D-QSAR models
i.e., PLS (partial least square) model, MLR (multiple linear regression) model, Field-based model and
GFA (Genetic function approximation) model were developed using ‘PHASE’ v3.4 (Schrödinger) and
Discovery Studio (DS) 4.1 software and validated using different statistical parameters like internal
and external validation.

Results and Discussion:

The results showed that the best PLS model has R2=0.991 and Q2=0.787, the
best MLR model has R2= 0.993 and Q2= 0.893, the best Field-based model has R2= 0.974 and Q2=
0.782 and the best GFA model has R2= 0.868 and Q2= 0.782. Cross-validated coefficients, (rcv
2) of 0.967, 0.926, 0.966 and 0.829 was found for PLS model, MLR, Field based and GFA model, respectively,
indicated the satisfactory correlativity and prediction. The docking studies were accomplished
to find out the conformations of the molecules and their essential binding interactions with the target
protein. The trustworthiness of the docking results was further confirmed by molecular dynamics (MD)
simulations studies. Density Functional Theory (DFT) study was performed which promptly optimizes
the geometry, stability and reactivity of the molecule during receptor-ligand interaction.

Conclusion:

Thus, the present research work provides spatial fingerprints which would be beneficial
for the development of potent HDAC1 inhibitors.

Authors: Sandhu Navjot Kaur , Angehore Durga Das , Upmanyu Neeraj , Porwal Pawan K.
Published: March 2019

Background:

Sertraline Hydrochloride, an oral anti-depressant, has two chiral centers and its
cis enantiomers and trans diasteromers are defined as related substances by United State Pharmacopoeia
and British Pharmacopoeia.

Introduction:

A selective, stereospecific and economical high performance liquid chromatographic
(HPLC) method was developed for the determination of sertraline enantiomeric forms. The HPLC-UV
method was developed and optimized in the terms of system suitability parameters.

Methods:

The elution was made using a mixture of -cyclodextrin (-CD) and hydroxypropyl -
cyclodextrin (HP -CD). Analysis was performed on a Zorbax SB C-18 column (250 x 4.6mm), 5μ with
the mobile phase consisting of 170mM KH2PO4 containing -CD and HP -CD (pH: 3.0 with dil. H3PO4)
and acetonitrile (75:25, v/v). Flow rate was kept at 1.0mL/min and the detection was carried out by UV
at 220nm. Enantio-separation for sertraline was carried out using two different CDs (β-CD and HP β-
CD) at different concentrations in the mobile phase.

Results:

Complete resolution of all the four isomers was achieved using 9mM β-CD and 15mM HP β-
CD in the mobile phase. The development was optimized using central composite quadric model, where
concentration of -CD and HP -CD were varied and resolution between trans diastereomeric impurities
was calculated as a response.

Conclusion:

Resolution between any pair of isomers was found to be more than 2. Method development
and optimization leading to the best resolution between the isomers of sertraline is described in detail.
Mid-Victorian England and Female Emancipation: Elizabeth Gaskell’s North and South
Authors: Mohammed Saman Ali
Published: March 2019

One of the heated discussions of the Victorian era is female emancipation. In the heart of an industrial period when materialism, economic competition and public domain were dominated by men, women had the domestic sphere. The apparent difference between these two spheres was not tolerable for Elizabeth Gaskell and she critiqued it. Her novel North and South discusses the perceptions on women, the idea of industrialization, and class distinction in Victorian Era. Developing her main character Margaret Hale, Gaskell critiques her society and the mentality behind a perception of patriarchal and materialistic society. Gaskell develops her character on many different levels by giving her various roles especially in the industrial north. Valuing certain qualities women possess in the domestic level, Gaskell brings Margaret to the debates, businesses, factories, riots and public sphere of Milton. Gaskell presents the contemporary and Victorian readers with a different perception of women, their roles, and significance in the private and public spheres.
Characterizing Media Content and Effects of Organ Donation on a Social Media Platform: Content Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Jiang Xiaoya , Jiang Wenshi , Cai Jiawei , Su Qingdong , Zhou Zhigang , He Lingnan , Lai Kaisheng
Published: March 2019

BACKGROUND

The lack of organ donors has become a barrier for the development of organ transplantation programs, and many countries are currently facing a severe shortage of deceased organs. Media campaigns on social media have the potential to promote organ donation. However, little is known about what kind of media content is the most appropriate for this purpose.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to analyze media posts regarding organ donation on Weibo, a social media platform, and to identify the media themes that are most advantageous in promoting public awareness and attitudes concerning organ donation.

METHODS

Based on 16 million social media users’ posts randomly extracted from January 1 to December 31, 2017, 1507 reposts of 141 distinct media posts relevant to organ donation were found. We analyzed the media posts’ themes and examined their effects in promoting public awareness about organ donation by comparing the number of reposts and comments they prompted. The themes’ impact on attitude toward organ donation was gauged using the comments indicating support and intentions for organ donation.

RESULTS

Overall, 5 major themes were identified from the media posts, among which “organ donation behaviors” constituted the highest proportion (58/141, 41.13%). However, themes of “statistical descriptions of organ donation” and “meaningfulness of donation” were the most influential in promoting awareness on organ donation: approximately 3 of 10 commenters for the former theme and 2 of 10 commenters for the latter expressed intentions to become organ donors. These two themes, along with “meaningfulness of organ donation for society,” a subtheme of “meaningfulness of donation,” were the most effective for evoking support and intentions for donation.

CONCLUSIONS

A discrepancy was revealed between the media themes that were the most salient on the media agenda and those that were the most effective in increasing organ donation awareness and intentions on social media. These findings provide guidance for campaigns on organ donation. The results also suggest the potential of campaigns on social media for promoting prosocial health behaviors and highlight the importance of strategic message design for serving this goal.
How much popular is table tennis? Googling for table tennis (Preprint)
Authors: Bragazzi Nicola
Published: March 2019

BACKGROUND

Table tennis is a popular sport, practiced worldwide. In particular, it is the most popular racquet sport in the world and ranks second in terms of participation. Over 10-18 million players compete in many tournaments each year.

OBJECTIVE

However, little is known about the table tennis related web activities.

METHODS

Google Trends (GT), a freely online available tool that tracks and monitor web searches, was mined from 2004 to today worldwide, using table tennis as a keyword. The searches volumes were correlated with country ranking (overall and broken down for gender). An autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) model was used to model the GT-generated data.

RESULTS

Table tennis resulted the second most popular racquet sport being googled worldwide. Interest for table tennis has slightly decreased over the time with table tennis-related web activities exhibiting a cyclic pattern. The best ARMA model which fits the trend of Internet searches is an ARMA(6,5). The most related searches concerned equipment and sports products for playing table tennis, famous athletes, other team sports and scheduled tournaments. Country ranking (both overall and broken down for gender) well correlated with GT-based RSV.

CONCLUSIONS

Despite its limitations, GT appears to have some degrees of utility in tracking, monitoring in real time and forecasting/nowcasting table tennis related web searches.

Abstrak. Perilaku ketidakjujuran akademik bertentangan dengan norma, nilai pendidikan karakter serta agama. Salah satu bentuk perilaku ketidakjujuran akademik yaitu menyontek. Ironisnya pelaku penyontek tidak menyadari perilakunya sebagai kesalahan. Iklim sekolah yang kurang kondusif cenderung dipersepsikan secara negatif, diduga menjadi penyebab siswa leluasa melakukan ketidakjujuran akademik, sehingga perlu dilakukan upaya pencegahanya. Hipotesis, ada hubungan negatif significan persepsi positif terhadap iklim sekolah dengan perilaku ketidakjujuran akademik. Subjek penelitian siswa kelas XII SMAN Darul Sholah Banyuwangi sejumlah 120 siswa. Teknik sampling purposive sampling. Alat ukur menggunakan Perception School Climate Scale dan Academic Dishonesty Scale. Analisis data korelasi product moment. Hasil menunjukan bahwa terdapat hubungan negatif yang signifikan (r = -0,129, p = 0,015). Artinya, semakin positif persepsi terhadap iklim sekolah maka semakin kecil kecenderungan perilaku ketidakjujuran akademik dan sebaliknya. Pentingnya menciptakan iklim sekolah yang dipersepsikan secara positif dapat digunakan sebagai upaya mencegah terjadinya ketidakjujuran akademik seperti menyontek.Kata kunci : persepsi; iklim sekolah; ketidakjujuran akademik  Abstract. Dishonest behavior is very contrary to the norm and religion values. One of academic dishonest behavior is cheating. Unfortunately the cheaters do not realize their behavior as an error. A less conducive school climate tends to be perceived negatively and it is suspected to be the reason students are free to cheat when doing academic dishonesty, so necessary to prevent it. The subject is the XII Grade students of Darus Sholah Banyuwangi Senior High school as much 120 students. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling. Instruments used are Perception School Climate Scale and Academic Dishonesty Scale. Data analysis uses product moment correlation. Results is a significant negative (r = -0,129, p= 0,015), the more positive perception of the school climate, the smaller tendency of academic dishonesty behavior and vice versa. The importance of creating a school climate that is perceived positively can be used as an effort to prevent academic dishonesty such as cheating.Key words : perception, school climate, academic dishonesty

That has 61.491,02 ha of water catchment areas. Hydrological processes that occur in awatershed is closely related to erosion. The alteration of land use and watershed management is oneof the factors causing soil damage, accelerate the erosion rate, and cause erosion. Based on thecondition of that case, this study analyzes about how much the erosion rate, the amount of erosion,and to estimate the level of erosion that will occur.MUSLE method is one of the methods used to determine the magnitude of the erosion rate,that use an approach of runoff factor. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) used for the managementand data processing. Geographic Information Systems is a spatially information technology thatgenerate digital data which can gives the area characteristics, and illustrates the potential of soildamage.The level of erosion hazard on Sub DAS Lesti for weight categories reach 31.421% of thearea, while another erosion rate is Medium 24.146%, Lightweight 22.151%, Very Heavy 16.123%,and Very Light 6.159%.
