Ценностные трансформации современной студенческой молодежи
Authors: Ситаров Вячеслав Алексеевич
Published: June 2017

В статье рассматриваются ценностные аспекты развития современной молодежи. Показано, что ценности  выступают несущими конструкциями любого общества и составляют менталитет входящих в него членов. Обсуждаются социокультурные проблемы и деформации ценностного пространства воспитания, которые связаны с процессами дегуманизации культуры и демонтажем основных общественных институтов.

На психолого-педагогическом уровне изменения связаны с превращением человека из носителя культурных ценностей в носителя потребностей; на макросоциальном уровне  констатируется  системный сдвиг социальной структуры в логике перехода от модели «общества социального благосостояния»  к модели «общества потребления». Раскрываются психологическая функция и педагогическое значение ценностей как источников личностного достоинства и социального заказа для воспитания. Показано деструктивное влияние общества потребления, современных массмедиа и информационных технологий на сознание молодежи.

Заключается, что мир ценностей создает систему жизненных координат, в которой молодой человек может найти себя, обрести свою общность с другими, определить свое уникальное место и уверенно двигаться по жизни. Наличие в обществе внятных, устойчивых, согласованных ценностей обеспечивает духовный и социокультурный иммунитет народа. Ценности стоят на страже культуры. Общество, теряющее свои ценности, неизбежно сходит со сцены истории. Ценности задают нормативно-императивный ландшафт для развития и воспитания молодежи. Зная и усваивая этот ландшафт, молодежь располагает четким пониманием и представлением о том,  что от нее ожидает общество, как жить, какими быть и к чему стремиться. 
Пределы парадигмы индивидуальности
Authors: Горелова Татьяна Анатольевна
Published: June 2017

В статье рассматриваются тенденции развития индивидуальности в современном обществе. Автор исходит из двух смыслов понятия «индивидуальность». В первом смысле это механизм, способ, возможность осуществления действия, во втором — совокупность особых качеств и свойств, которые отличают одного человека от другого. Индивидуальность как механизм существования современной личности подвержена воздействию расщепляющих тенденций. Человеческая индивидуальность, распадаясь, проявляет недоброкачественные обломки «невоссоединенного» целого — инстинктивную агрессию, отвлеченную чувственность и отвлеченную рациональность. Прилив агрессии связан с тем, что перестает действовать духовная система запретов; рациональное освобождение разума ведет к его превращению в «цинический разум»; следствием отвлеченной чувственности являются неконтролируемые воля к власти, потребительство и сексуальность. Распад ядра индивидуальности в отношениях с другими людьми проявляется как невротическая расщепленность, а в культуре исчезновение системы ценностей и дробление, смешение жанров приводит к полному исчезновению культурных сфер.

Во втором смысле понятие индивидуальности близко понятию «личность». Вслед за А. Маслоу автор предполагает, что личность формируется набором ее потребностей, так как в процессе их удовлетворения меняются мировоззрение, способности, эмоциональная реакция. И поэтому «пирамида  потребностей», включающая шесть уровней — физиологический, экзистенциальный, социальный, престижный, духовный, уровень метапотребностей, может стать основой структурирования индивидуальности. Соотношение общего и индивидуального на каждом уровне — динамическая характеристика, поскольку она чувствительна к внутренним и внешним влияниям. Просматриваются две тенденции, говорящие о росте индивидуальной составляющей по сравнению с общей. Первой тенденцией этой динамики является рост индивидуальных качеств на всех уровнях, поскольку в процессе социальной эволюции человека наблюдался рост разнообразия внешних условий его жизни. Вторая тенденция индивидуализации действует внутри системы личности: от нижнего, физиологического уровня к верхнему, духовному уровню доля индивидуального возрастает как в потенции, так и в реальности.

Структура уровней личности позволяет увидеть эволюционный аспект динамики индивидуальности. Механизм ее эволюции проявляется в виде двух стадий — развития и утверждения индивидуальности. В этом механизме выражается стремление человека к превращению его индивидуальности в закономерность в ее идеальной форме вечной закономерности (подобно механизму, действующему в эволюции природы).

Caim: uma hermenêutica teo-literária de um homem humano
Authors: Ecco Clovis , Araújo Cristiano Santos
Published: June 2017

Resumo: neste texto abordaremos quatro representações textuais sobre um homem humano chamado Caim. Em primeiro lugar, veremos o Caim na literatura sagrada1 Judaico-Cristã, em segundo lugar, o Caim da interpretação bíblica de Maria Clara Bingemer, em terceiro lugar, o Caim na cronicidade brasileira de Luís Fernando Veríssimo, e em quarto lugar, o Caim do romancista português José Saramago. Dois textos bíblico-teológicos, assim como dois textos literários, um brasileiro, outro português. Nosso objetivo é interpretar o retrato de um imaginário sobre a violência e suas influências na construção das relações de poder em nível sócio-religioso-cultural da humanidade. Investigaremos o paradoxo das expressões de violência nos textos sagrados da religião judaico-cristã e suas interrelações na ambiência literária, esta intertextualidade pode ajudar-nos a pensar sobre o sagrado, a ética, a justiça, paz e as alteridades humanas.

Microbiome and Microbial Biofilm Profiles of Peri‐Implantitis: A Systematic Review
Authors: Lafaurie Gloria Inés , Sabogal María Alejandra , Castillo Diana Marcela , Rincón María Victoria , Gómez Luz Amparo , Lesmes Yamil Augusto , Chambrone Leandro
Published: June 2017

Background: This systematic review assesses microbiologic profiles of peri‐implantitis, periodontitis, and healthy implants based on studies that evaluated microbial biofilms and entire microbiomes to establish their similarities and differences.

Methods: The Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online via PubMed, Excerpta Medica Database, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, were searched without language restrictions through July 30, 2016. Observational studies that evaluated microbial profiles or entire microbiomes of peri‐implantitis compared with healthy implants or periodontitis were considered eligible for inclusion. A descriptive summary was created to determine quantity of data and interstudy variations.

Results: Of 126 potentially eligible articles, 26 were included in this study. Twenty‐one of these articles evaluated the microbiologic profile of peri‐implantitis versus healthy implants or periodontitis using conventional microbiologic techniques. Five articles evaluated the entire microbiome using genomic sequencing. Teeth with periodontitis, healthy implants, or implants with peri‐implantitis were colonized by periodontal microorganisms. Porphyromonas gingivalis and especially Prevotella intermedius/nigrescens were often identified at peri‐implantitis sites. Peri‐implantitis sites were also colonized by uncultivable asaccharolytic anaerobic Gram‐positive rods and anaerobic Gram‐negative rods, which were not frequently identified in teeth with periodontitis or healthy implants. Opportunistic microorganisms were not found very frequently in peri‐implantitis sites.

Conclusions: Peri‐implantitis represents a heterogeneous mixed infection that includes periodontopathic microorganisms, uncultivable asaccharolytic anaerobic Gram‐positive rods and other uncultivable Gram‐negative rods, and, rarely, opportunistic microorganisms such as enteric rods and Staphylococcus aureus. Sequencing methods that evaluate the entire microbiome improve identification of microorganisms associated with peri‐implantitis.
CLIL TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONS OF INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCE IN PRIMARY EDUCATION
Authors: Pérez Gracia Elisa , Gómez Parra Ma. Elena , Serrano Rodríguez Rocío
Published: June 2017

CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) includes the development of intercultural awareness as one of its main axes. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to examine the perceptions that CLIL teachers have regarding Intercultural Competence (IC) and the elements that contribute to its development. Through an open-question survey, we analysed the opinions of 59 Primary Education CLIL teachers from Cordoba. For the analysis of the qualitative data, Atlas.ti has been used on its two options: the textual and the conceptual analysis, thus generating the corresponding networks. On the other hand, SPSS v. 21 was used for the quantitative data analysis. The results show that CLIL teachers define IC closely linked to linguistic competence, and that communicative activities play an important role.
«ES UN LECTOR, NO UN ORADOR»: SOBRE LA TRICOTOMÍA COMUNICACIÓN VERBAL, PARAVERBAL Y NO VERBAL
Authors: Ridao Susana
Published: June 2017

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la relevancia que asumen la comunicación verbal, paraverbal y no verbal para un grupo de estudiantes al observar y evaluar el discurso de un orador. El corpus analizado está compuesto por las anotaciones efectuadas por 30 alumnos sobre los déficits comunicativos que detectan en el discurso de un orador. Los resultados obtenidos indican que el 11.27% de tales críticas iban dirigidas a la comunicación verbal, el 30.82% a la comunicación paraverbal y el 57.89% a la comunicación no verbal. Por tanto, estas conclusiones resultan afines con las alcanzadas por Mehrabian (1972), si bien difieren parcialmente de las presentadas en van-der Hofstadt (2005) u Orzáiz (2009). Se discuten las implicancias de estos resultados.

Authors: Ma Chiyuan , Ran Jisheng , Xu Kai , Xu Langhai , Yang Yute , Sun Miao , Liu An , Yan Shigui , Wu Lidong
Published: June 2017

As a chronic disease, osteoarthritis (OA) leads to degradation of both cartilage and subchondral bone, of which the development is related to proinflammatory cytokines like interleukin-1β. In the present study, the anti-inflammatory effect of Specnvezhenide in osteoarthritis and mechanism of it was studied in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that Specnvezhenide decreases interleukin-1β-induced expression of matix-degrading enzymes and reduces the activation of NF-κB and wnt/β-catenin pathways in vitro. Furthermore, Specnvezhenide treatment prevents the degeneration of both cartilage and subchondral bone in rats OA model. As conclusion, to the best of our knowledge, we report firstly that Specnvezhenide decreases interleukin-1β-induced inflammation on rat chondrocytes by inhibiting activation of NF-κB and wnt/β-catenin pathways, and has therapeutic potential in OA treatment.
Christian Churches and the Boko Haram Insurgency in Cameroon: Dilemmas and Responses
Authors: Lang Michael Kpughe
Published: June 2017

The spillover of the terrorist activities of Boko Haram, a Nigerian jihadi group, into Cameroon’s northern region has resulted in security challenges and humanitarian activity opportunities for Christian churches. The insurgents have attacked and destroyed churches, abducted Christians, worsened Muslim-Christian relations, and caused a humanitarian crisis. Aggregately, these ensuing phenomena have adversely affected Christian churches in this region, triggering an aura of responses: coping strategies, humanitarian work among refugees, and inter-faith dialogue. These responses are predicated on Christianity’s potential as a resource for peace, compassion, and love. In this study we emphasize the role of Christian churches in dealing with the Boko Haram insurgency. It opens up with a contextualization of Boko Haram in Cameroon’s north. This is followed by an examination of the brutality meted out on Christians and church property. The final section is an examination of the spiritual, humanitarian and relief services provided by Christian churches. The paper argues that although Christian churches have suffered at the hands of Boko Haram insurgents, they have engaged in various beneficial responses underpinned by the Christian values of peace and love.
Presenting the First JDR Award
Authors: Takiguchi Katsuki
Published: June 2017

Founded in August 2006, the Journal of Disaster Research (JDR) reached Vol.10 this year. Regular issues are published bimonthly, six times a year. Special editions on the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake are published once a year, with four of the five issues planned having been published.

The JDR's features lie in its broad spectrum of subjects and the comprehensiveness of their treatment. These points are extremely important in dealing with disasters, but may lose focus in the selection of article content and have difficulty in evaluating it.

From its inception, the JDR has made each issue special, focusing on certain topics and inviting specialists in the area to serve as (guest) editors of each issue. Thanks to the cooperation of such specialists, the JDR has developed being able to reach Vol.10 this year.

To mark this anniversary, the JDR has established the JDR Award, an idea originally proposed by one of our editors, Shinji Egashira. We feel that having a broad spectrum of subjects is fitting as the selection criterion for the JDR Award, but this has made it difficult to set up objective selection criteria.

A major factor in selection has been the number of downloads. Both of the two-part articles on the special issue on “Enhancement of Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster Mitigation in Peru” in Vol.8 No.2 and Vol.9 No.6 ranked among the top ten downloads in the almost 60 JDR issues published thus far.

Each issue derives its significance from the relevance of the featured topic, so members of the editorial committee have unanimously agreed to present this first JDR Award to the guest editors of the special issue:

Fumio Yamazaki,

Professor, Graduate School of Engineering, Chiba University, Japan

Carlos Zavala,

Professor, CISMID, Faculty of Civil Engineering,

National University of Engineering (UNI), Peru On behalf of the JDR editorial committee, I wish to thank them for their efforts and to congratulate them as the first winners of the Award.

This study assesses the impact of participation in decision making on job satisfaction, group commitment, and group learning. Data were collected from 397 managerial employees working in public sector undertakings across India. Structural equation modeling as a statistical technique and WarpPLS as a statistical tool was used to verify the proposed relationships. The findings of the study suggest that participation in decision making had a positive and significant relationship with job satisfaction. Further, participation in decision making had significant impact on group learning, but had no impact on group commitment. Job satisfaction had a positive and significant impact on group commitment. Group learning was positively and significantly related to job satisfaction and group commitment. The results suggest that employee participation in decision making process is highly desirable as it elevates employee identification with their respective organisation. The findings of the study are relevant to the people holding key managerial positions in public sector undertakings and they are discussed in detail.
Lipid Oxidation Products in the Pathogenesis of Inflammation-related Gut Diseases
Authors: Sottero Barbara , Rossin Daniela , Poli Giuseppe , Biasi Fiorella
Published: June 2017

Background:

A defective mucosal barrier function is the principal cause of the
uncontrolled onset and progression of a number of human inflammatory gut diseases, most of
which are characterized by chronic intermittent immune and inflammatory responses leading
to structural intestinal damage, which can represent a potential risk for colorectal cancer development.

During the active disease phase the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines,
and the induction of oxidative reactions by activated leukocytes and epithelial cells represent
the main event in the intestinal inflammation.

Objective:

Oxidative stress plays a key role in the development of intestinal damage. Indeed
reactive oxygen species and their oxidized by-products regulate redox-sensitive signaling
pathways and transcription factors, which sustain inflammation within the intestinal layer.

Methods:

Polyunsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol are the principal targets of oxidative
modifications.

These lipids, which are cell membrane constituents or are present in food, readily undergo
non-enzymatic oxidation to form chemically-reactive species that can induce a wide range of
biological effects including inflammation, programmed cell death, and proliferation.

Results and Conclusions:

In this review we summarize the current knowledge on the role of
lipid oxidation products in regulating redox pathways involved in the pathogenesis of inflammation-
related gut diseases. In particular, lipid peroxidation end products, such as isoprostanes
and aldehydes, and cholesterol oxidation-derived oxysterols are taken into consideration.

Results and Conclusions:

The control of oxidative damage and consequently tissue local over-production of lipid oxidation
products by using specific antioxidant and anti-inflammatory molecules in the diet
may have clinical and therapeutic benefits.
Solar System Sonification: Exploring Earth and Its Neighbors Through Sound

Published: June 2017

Informal learning environments (ILEs) like museums incorporate multi-modal displays into their exhibits as a way to engage a wider group of visitors, often relying on tactile, audio, and visual means to accomplish this. Planetariums, however represent one type of ILE where a single, highly visual presentation modality is used to entertain, inform, and engage a large group of users in a passive viewing experience. Recently, auditory displays have been used as a supplement or even an alternative to visual presentation of astronomy concepts, though there has been little evaluation of those displays. Here, we designed an auditory model of the solar system and created a planetarium show, which was later presented at a local science center. Attendees evaluated the performance on helpfulness, interest, pleasantness, understandability, and relatability of the sounds' mappings. Overall, attendees rated the solar system and planetary details very highly, in addition to providing open-ended responses about their entire experience.
Image sharing privacy policy on social networks using A3P
Authors: Saranya S. , Ranjith Kumar M. , Madheswaran K.
Published: June 2017

User Image sharing social site maintaining privacy has become a major problem, as demonstrated by a recent wave of publicized incidents where users inadvertently shared personal information. In light of these incidents, the need of tools to help users control access to their shared content is apparent. Toward addressing this need an Adaptive Privacy Policy Prediction (A3P) system to help users compose privacy settings for their images. The solution relies on an image classification framework for image categories which may be associated with similar policies and on a policy prediction algorithm to automatically generate a policy for each newly uploaded image, also according to user’s social features. Image Sharing takes place both among previously established groups of known people or social circles and also increasingly with people outside the users social circles, for purposes of social discovery-to help them identify new peers and learn about peers interests and social surroundings, Sharing images within online content sharing sites, therefore, may quickly lead to unwanted disclosure. The aggregated information can result in unexpected exposure of one’s social environment and lead to abuse of one’s personal information.

Published: June 2017

Aim:
Compare the safety and efficacy of intermittent fenofibrate versus simvastatin in chronic hemodialysis patients.
Patients & methods:
Sixty patients received either fenofibrate 100 mg or simvastatin 20 mg after their dialysis session (parallel study). The safety and efficacy of drugs on lipid profile, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL), glutathione peroxidase and C-reactive protein were compared before and after 16-week treatment.
Results:
After treatment, significant increase in glutathione peroxidase, significant decrease in total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein (LDL) and ox-LDL (p < 0.05) and no significant changes in C-reactive protein (p > 0.05) were observed in both groups. Both drugs were well tolerated with no serious side effects reported by the patients.
Conclusion:
Both drugs have comparable efficacy and safety when used as intermittent low dose regimen in hemodialysis. Larger studies with longer follow-up periods are needed to confirm our new findings.

Niveles de desarrollo de los programas de formación en habilidades informativas - alfabetización informacional en universidades mexicanas según la información de sus sitios Web
Authors: Uribe Tirado Alejandro
Published: June 2017

El desarrollo de habilidades informativas(DHI)o alfabetización informacional (ALFIN), entendida como la formación en competencias informacionales, es uno de los retos actuales de las bibliotecas universitarias ante las posibilidades de acceso a enormes recursos de información que facilitan los medios digitales al interior y exterior de las bibliotecas, y la necesidad de sus usuarios de formarse en mejores estrategias y herramientas para acceder, seleccionar y evaluar la información más pertinente y de mayor calidad. Ante esta situación las bibliotecas universitarias iberoamericanas han ido poco a poco incorporando esta formación, bien sea desde programas/cursos directos o mediante el trabajo colaborativo con docentes y facultades en currículas de toda una universidad o de disciplinas específicas. Este trabajo, desde la metodología de análisis de contenidos Web, revisa la información que presentan las bibliotecas universitarias mexicanas sobre esta actividad de formación para, a partir de la misma, visualizar los niveles de desarrollo que tendrían de sus programas de DHI-ALFIN, y por consiguiente, las competencias informacionales que estarían adquiriendo sus usuarios.

Introduction/Objective. Vitreal hemorrhage (VH) is one of the possible
complications of the diabetic retinopathy which is followed by intensive
decrease of visual acuity. Corticosteroides are commonly used in treatment
of different retinal diseases, due to their antiinflammatory and
anti-angiogenetic effect. Triamcinolone acetonide applied invtravitreally
remains in the eye for several months, releases its crystals and decreases
the density of vitreal hemorrhage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the
efficacy of 20 mg intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide for the managementof
long lasting VH, occurred as a complication of proliferative diabetic
retinopathy (PDR) in non-vitrectomized eyes. Methods. In prospective study,
from January 1st 2015 until the January 1st 2016, 24 patients with VH who
received intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide, were compared to 21 patients
from the control group (patients with PDR and similar degree of VH). All
patients passed ophthalmological examination at the beginning of the study,
7 days, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after intravitreal application of 20mg
triamcinolone acetonide. Besides VH and visual acuity, intraocular pressure
and cataract development were also analyzed. Results. Statistically
significant difference was recorded 1st and 3rd month after the usage of
triamacinolone, in the density of vitreal hemorrhage and visual acuity.
Twenty-nine percent of patients had temporally intraocular pressure rise
after the intravitreal triamacinolone application, and 4.1% of patients
ended the study with the developed cataract. Conclusion. Intravitreally
applied triamcinolone acetonide has moderate and temporary influence on the
velocity of vitreal hemorrhage reabsorption. It can be useful treatment

After the creation of the Basic Law of Hungary, and following a drawn discussion Act CLXXV of 2011 on the Right of Association and the Operation and Funding of Civil Society organizations has come into force (hereinafter referred to as Civil Act). The Civil Act repealed a lot former provitions, thus the Act II. of 1989 on the Right of Association, the law concerning non-profit status, and the provitions related to association of the previous Civil Code. The new Act V of 2013 in the Civil Code has also brought significant changes according to associations.

The base of the rules has changed considerabely, as the permissive legislation, and the freedom of the parties has become the main line.

At present to association the Civil Act, the new regulations about the court registration of associations – such as Act CLXXXI of 2011 –, and the provisions concerning legal persons and associations of the new Civil Code should be applied.

Since the relevant legal regulation has changed, the previous judicial practice is not applicable, courts have to answer the questions among the new legal circumstances as well. However it is sure that the basis of association is the right of association which is a constitutional fundamental right. Due to these significant changes in this paper I have examined those important Constitutional Court Rulings which can be connected with the right of association, and I have tried to compare the decisions of the Constitutional Court with the new present regulation.

New types of assets has appeared in property lawsuits in the past 25 years, such as company shares (one of the most important kind of valuable rights). This fact made forensic experts - who deal with evaluation of these assets - to obtain additional comprehensive knowledge.  The Kuria quoted that "the expert opinion is an underlying proof for the court judgment, an objective and precise means of proof, which usually affects directly the decisions of the court," and I think the date of the completion of the trial can be affected significantly.

The author of the study and writing of the addition was designed to court pointed out weaknesses in the analyzed case by case decisions perceived peer involvement draws the attention of the interested public on the company's assessment of literature on the importance of knowledge. To that aim the light of the experience gained from the analysis of the case law, above all, the study seeks to publish the company's fundamental valuation basic concepts summarize the literature on the same value in generally accepted and applied definitions and outline the applicable assessment methods. It is certain that the regulation of property relations in the new Code requires the renewal of judicial regulation of professional activity as well.

2010 marked the opening of a new chapter inthe more than 120 years history of the Hungarian order for payment procedure. Breaking with the Hungarian traditions, the notaries became competent to carry out these procedures instead of courts. The Hungarian Chamber of Civil Law Notaries established an accessible web-based computerised system for support of procedures. The registration of requests, the assignment of cases to notaries and the administrative handling of cases are carried out through this electronic network. The legislator’s aims when modified the regulation of this legal instrument was to reduce the duration of order for payment procedures and the workload of courts.

The doctor-patient relationship requires set rules for liability considering the nature of professional norms on medicine and the protection of human life and health. According to these rules, the healthcare provideris vicariously liable for damages suffered as a consequence of healthcare servicesprovided to the patient. In such cases– on the grounds of labor law rules – the healthcare providermay transfer liability to its employee. Considering recent amendments of labor law regulations, it is essential to summarize and analyze relevant labor law norms relatedto medical liability.

The employee’s liability for damages is based on the employment relationship between the healthcare provider and the employee. Despite of the healthcare provider’s liability for damages, the employee’s liability is always personal.

According to the new labor code the employee’s liability for damages is only ascertainable if the tortfeasor did not act like a reasonable person would have actedunder given circumstances. This means that the tortfeasor’sintention or negligence is irrelevant in the course of ascertaining liability. The purpose of our study is to provide a review of the strict measure of due care in health care services, and to summarize rules about the healthcare professional’s liability for damages.
A General Ritz Algorithm for Static Analysis of Arbitrary Laminated Composite Plates using First Order Shear Deformation Theory
Authors: Rango RF , Bellomo FJ , Nallim LG
Published: June 2017

This paper is concerned with the bending of laminated composite plates with arbitrary lay-up and general boundary conditions. The analysis is based on the small deflection, first-order shear deformation theory of composite plates, which utilizes the Reissner-Mindlin plate theory. In solving the aforementioned plate problems, a general algorithm based on the Ritz method and the use of beam orthogonal polynomials as coordinate functions is derived. This general algorithm provides an analytical approximate solution that can be applied to the static analysis of moderately thick laminated composite plates with any lamination scheme and combination of edge conditions. The convergence, accuracy, and flexibility of the obtained general algorithm are shown by computing several numerical examples and comparing some of them with results given in the literature. Some results, including general laminates and nonsymmetrical boundary conditions with free edges, are also presented.
A New Scheme for Crack Growth Modeling by Coupling Modified Quarter Point Crack-Tip Element and the Level Set Method
Authors: Abdelaziz Y
Published: June 2017

In this paper, an efficient, numerical procedure is presented to track crack growth modeling without remeshing. The method's key feature is the coupling of a modified quarter-point crack tip element (MQPE) with the level set method (LSM) for crack growth problems. The LSM was used to represent the crack location, including the location of crack tips. The MQPE was used to compute the stress and displacement fields necessary for determining the rate of crack growth. Numerical test cases including various geometrical exceptions (the center-crack plate specimen, the single edge-crack plate specimen, and the double-edge crack plate) demonstrate the accuracy, robustness, and efficiency of the MQPE/LSM coupling. The extrapolation technique was used to estimate numerically the calibration factor for various specimens. This work confirms the feasibility of the MQPE/LSM to model accurately the singularity existing in the vicinity of the cracks. It allows an economic and adequate calculation of the stress intensity factors, which can be introduced into the various criteria of fracture or laws of propagation of the crack. The new method reduces the need for remeshing, and results agree well with reference data.

Published: June 2017

Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET) are the two most common disorders that cause involuntary muscle shaking movements, or what is called "tremor”. PD is a neurodegenerative disease caused by the loss of dopamine receptors which control and adjust the movement of the body. On the other hand, ET is a neurological movement disorder which also causes tremors and shaking, but it is not related to dopamine receptor loss; it is simply a tremor. The differential diagnosis between these two disorders is sometimes difficult to make clinically because of the similarities of their symptoms; additionally, the available tests are complex and expensive. Thus, the objective of this paper is to discriminate between these two disorders with simpler, cheaper and easier ways by using electromyography (EMG) signal processing techniques. EMG and accelerometer records of 39 patients with PD and 41 with ET were acquired from the Hospital of Kiel University in Germany and divided into a trial group and a test group. Three main techniques were applied: the wavelet-based soft-decision technique, statistical signal characterization (SSC) of the spectrum of the signal, and SSC of the amplitude variation of the Hilbert transform. The first technique resulted in a discrimination efficiency of 80% on the trial set and 85% on the test set. The second technique resulted in an efficiency of 90% on the trial set and 82.5% on the test set. The third technique resulted in an 87.5% efficiency on the trial set and 65.5% efficiency on the test set. Lastly, a final vote was done to finalize the discrimination using these three techniques, and as a result of the vote, accuracies of 92.5%, 85.0% and 88.75% were obtained on the trial data, test data and total data, respectively.

Published: June 2017

A new compact microstrip slot antenna with Y-shaped coupling aperture is proposed. This antenna is based on a rectangular form with a microstrip fed line for excitation, and consists of slots on the edge of the radiation patch to provide dual-band operation. The design and simulation of the antenna were performed using CST Microwave Studio simulator. A prototype of the proposed antenna has been constructed and tested. In order to validate the return loss of the prototype antenna, the experimental results are presented. The results show two available bands with –10 dB band S at 2.7 GHz and band C at 5 GHz. Also, good radiation performance and antenna gain over the two frequency ranges have been obtained. Computation results confirm the experimental findings.
Applying Interpretive Structural Modeling to Cost Overruns in Construction Projects in the Sultanate of Oman
Authors: Alzebdeh K. , Bashir H.A. , Al Siyabi S.K.
Published: June 2017

Cost overruns in construction projects are a problem faced by project managers, engineers, and clients throughout the Middle East.  Globally, several studies in the literature have focused on identifying the causes of these overruns and used statistical methods to rank them according to their impacts. None of these studies have considered the interactions among these factors. This paper examines interpretive structural modelling (ISM) as a viable technique for modelling complex interactions among factors responsible for cost overruns in construction projects in the Sultanate of Oman. In particular, thirteen interrelated factors associated with cost overruns were identified, along with their contextual interrelationships. Application of ISM leads to organizing these factors in a hierarchical structure which effectively demonstrates their interactions in a simple way. Four factors were found to be at the root of cost overruns: instability of the US dollar, changes in governmental regulations, faulty cost estimation, and poor coordination among projects’ parties. Taking appropriate actions to minimize the influence of these factors can ultimately lead to better control of future project costs. Thisstudy is of value to managers and decision makers because it provides a powerful yet very easy to apply approach for investigating the problem of cost overruns and other similar issues.
Arginine-Amino Acid Interactions and Implications to Protein Solubility and Aggregation
Authors: Shaikh A. R. , Shah D.
Published: June 2017

Arginine, useful in protein refolding, solubilization of proteins, and suppression of protein aggregation and non-specific adsorption during formulation and purification, is a ubiquitous additive in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. In order to provide a framework for analyzing the molecular level mechanisms behind arginine/protein interactions in the above context, density functional theory was used to systematically examine how arginine interacts with naturally occurring amino acids. The results show that the most favorable interaction of arginine is with acidic amino acids and arises from charge interactions and hydrogen-bond interactions. Arginine is also shown to form stacking and T-shaped structures with aromatic amino acids, the types of cation–p and N–H…p interactions, respectively, known to be important contributors to protein stability. The analysis also shows that arginine-arginine interactions lead to stable clusters, with the stability of the clusters arising from the stacking of the guanidinium part of arginine. The results show that the unique ability of arginine to form clusters with itself makes it an effective aggregation suppressant and support the interpretations of the current study using experimental and molecular dynamics results available in the literature. The results also contribute to understanding the role of arginine in increasing protein solubility, imparting thermal stability of important enzymes, and designing better additives.

Published: June 2017

Residential projects represent the largest section of the construction industry in Oman. It is widely claimed that designers in Oman tend to unnecessarily overdesign structures, thereby aggravating construction costs. The aim of this research was to investigate the existence and extent of structural overdesign through the investigation of 31 villas which were approved by Muscat Municipality between 2000–2010. The specified villas were structurally redesigned based on the British Code of Practice using the same geometry and material strengths recorded in the drawings. The required reinforcement resulting from the redesign work was compared with the provided reinforcement as per the drawings. The results showed clear cases of extra reinforcement in almost all villas. The difference between required and provided reinforcements in the villas ranged from 2.3– 104.8%, with an average of 48.5% and a standard deviation of 24.0. The required and provided weights of reinforcement per square meter of the built-up area ranged from 25.7–71 and 40.9–87.9 kg/m2, respectively. The largest differences between the required and provided reinforcement were in the slabs, followed by the footings. A field survey of consultants and municipality engineers indicated that the most notable reasons for overdesign are the absence of authorized agents specialized in reviewing structural design, a lack of an engineering licensing system in Oman, and the phenomenon of experienced engineers leaving design offices for better paying jobs elsewhere. Finally, the cost implication of overdesign is minor compared to the overall cost of building.
