Authors: Endaryanto Anang , Irmawati Mira
Published: April 2018

It is expected that probiotics may act synergistically to improve the clinical efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT). The aim of this study was to investigate the role of probiotics in enhancing efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy in childhood allergic asthma. This was a randomized single blind clinical trial conducted on 6-17 year-old asthmatic children sensitive to house dust mite allergens. Subjects were allocated to Group A receiving SLIT, Group B receiving probiotics and SLIT, Group C receiving probiotics only. Clinical parameters (FEV1 reversibility, medication score, and symptom score) and immunological parameters (total IgE, eosinophil count, IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4, IL5, IL10, and TGF-b were evaluated in week 0 until 14. Statistical analysis revealed that the difference of clinical parameters (FEV1 reversibility, medication score, and symptom score) between groups were not significant. The difference of the immunological parameters of total IgE, IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4, IL5, IL10, and TGF-ß were also not significant. Eosinophil count decreased in subjects who received combination SLIT with probiotics. In conclusion, probiotics enhanced the efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy in childhood allergic asthma by decreasing the eosinophil count.
Conservation Agriculture Effects on Soil Greenhouse Gas Fluxes: An Overview
Authors: Alikhani Hossein Ali , Karbin Saeed , Moteshare Zadeh Babak
Published: April 2018

Conservation Agriculture (CA) alters soil properties and microbial processes compared to conventional agriculture. These changes can affect soil-atmosphere greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes. In this overview, we summarized the results of global literature and the gaps in measuring and understanding of GHG fluxes in CA systems and conventional agriculture. Some studies compared soil carbon sequestration and soil respiration in conservation agriculture and no-tillage system with conventional agriculture and the results were not consistent in all experiments. Interactions between CA pillars and soil factors such as soil moisture, temperature, texture can determine the rate of respiration rate and soil-atmosphere CO2 fluxes. The majority of studies reported larger N2O emissions in no-tillage treatment compared with conventional tillage while some other studies reported no difference between no-tillage and conventional tillage systems. In the majority of CA studies, there is lack of required information which is necessary to understand the mechanisms and processes that affect soil GHG fluxes. Determining factors like climate, amount of plant residues, soil type, crop types included in crop rotation and cover crops and duration of the study are not considered. Static chamber method was used for measuring soil-atmosphere GHG fluxes in the majority of studies. Spatial and temporal changes in GHG flux rates are high and missing part of highly episodic events by using static chamber method may result over- or under-estimation in flux balance calculation. Applying standard techniques for measuring continuous fluxes can help to calculating accurate GHG balance.

Published: April 2018

The number of SIEM introduction is increasing in order to detect threat patterns in a short period of time with a large amount of structured/unstructured data, to precisely diagnose crisis to threats, and to provide an accurate alarm to an administrator by correlating collected information. However, it is difficult to quickly recognize and handle with various attack situations using a solution equipped with complicated functions during security monitoring. In order to overcome this situation, new detection analysis process has been required, and there is an effort to increase response speed during security monitoring and to expand accurate linkage analysis technology. In this paper, reflecting these requirements, we design and propose profiling auto-generation model that can improve the efficiency and speed of attack detection for potential threats requirements. we design and propose profiling auto-generation model that can improve the efficiency and speed of attack detection for potential threats.
Habitat is More Important Than Climate and Animal Richness in Shaping Latitudinal Variation in Plant Diversity
Authors: Jie Gao , Yanhong Liu , Xue Du , Bogonovich Marc
Published: April 2018

Species data of 249 National Nature Reserves in China was used to identify potential underlying drivers of latitudinal gradients in plant diversity. We used generalized linear models (GLMs) to assess the correlations between predictor and response variables. We also used SAM (Spatial Analysis in Macroecology) to eliminate autocorrelation along each of the 249 studied locations. We used the Akaike information criterion (AICc; Montoya et al. 2007) to select the independent variables were those included in the best models from different combinations of climate, habitat and animal variables. Variance partitioning was used to decompose the variation in plant richness across different taxonomic levels among the three groups of predictors. We found that: Total plant species, gymnosperms, angiosperms and ferns showed significant latitudinal trends in richness (p < 0.001). Water-energy and habitat variables generally explained more variation in richness across different plant groups than did animal richness. Annual precipitation was selected as the best water-energy variable across different taxonomic plants groups, soil PH and elevation range were selected as the best habitat variables across different taxonomic plant groups. The independent effects of habitatvariables were higher than that of water-energy and animal variables across different taxonomic plants groups. Water-energy, habitat heterogeneity, and animal variables explain 48.8% of the variation in total species richness, 28.2% in gymnosperm richness, 44.2% in angiosperm richness, and 38.9% in fern richness.Plants showed significant latitudinal trends in richness (p < 0.001). Water-energy and habitat variables generally explained more variation in richness across different taxonomic plants groups than did animal variables. The independent effects of habitat variables were higher than those of water-energy and animal variables across different taxonomic plants groups.
Investigation of Post-Abandonment Surface Subsidence in Steam-Assisted-Gravity-Drainage Operations
Authors: Hossini Amir , Mostafavi Vahid , Bresee Don
Published: April 2018

Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) has been extensively applied in thermal recovery from oil sands reservoirs in the Athabasca region of Northern Alberta, Canada. As the steam chambers associated with SAGD well pairs become mature, a form of abandonment is often applied that may include pressure maintenance in the depleted zone. Quantification of potential surface subsidence associated with SAGD abandonment becomes critical especially when the mature wells are in proximity to future developments. In addition, induced shear stresses should be estimated to fulfill well-integrity requirements. In the context of this case study, first, the development of a static geomechanical model (SGM) derived from a fine-tuned geomodel realization is discussed, which forms the basis for the iteratively coupled simulation model. The calibration work flow of the coupled reservoir/geomechanical simulation model to historical heave data is then reviewed and the effects of different parameters on calibration quality are investigated. Finally, the estimation of subsidence and the induced shear stresses in the nearby wells are discussed, and the magnitude of residual heave is quantified. The results of this study show that only a fraction (up to 38%) of surface heave is reversible (in form of subsidence) during the abandonment phase. Therefore, the magnitude of the surface subsidence and the associated shear stresses are small. The modeling study has also shown that a small magnitude of subsidence may be recorded even 10 years after abandonment. However, more than 50% of the surface subsidence is observed in the first 2 years after abandonment. Other important findings of this study include documenting the effects of thief-zone interaction and pseudoundrained loading as they relate to irreversibility of surface heave; documenting the effects of various geomechanical parameters on the quality of calibration against the historical heave data; observation of the relative effects of the isotropic unloading, thermal expansion, and shear dilatancy on the magnitude of heave; and quantification of incremental, yet small, shear stresses along the nearby horizontal wells.
Present-day realities of risk management in the activity of Ukrainian banks

Published: April 2018

Modern development of banking business is connected with significant risks, which, taking into account globalization processes, political, economic problems in Ukraine and worldwide, development of technological and information systems, tend to transform, therefore it is very difficult to identify them and take preventive measures concerning their smoothing. Taking the abovementioned into account, it is reasonable to assess the modern state of risk management in the activity of Ukrainian banks and the influence on banking system development. For this purpose, the authors analyzed the performance of Ukrainian banks in the period 2017–2018 based on official statistic data of the National Bank of Ukraine and measures of economic standard of banking activity; studied the modern state of performing risk management in Ukrainian banks. The authors offer the process of effective organization of risk management system in national banks, which is a prerequisite for safe management of the bank. During the study, the authors found the significant decrease in the share of credits in total assets of Ukrainian banks and low quality of assets of Ukrainian banks during 2017–2018. This is caused by the significant amount of loan arrears, during the study period, the amount of loan arrears in 2016 increased by 36 times in comparison with 2008. The authors point to the need for improvement of assessment of banks’ riskiness, as a result of which they offer to use the methods of descriptive statistics for assessing risks and identifying them at all levels of banking activity.
The Fama and French three-factor model in developing markets: evidence from the Chinese markets
Authors: Li Man , Dempsey Michael
Published: April 2018

The authors study the Fama and French three-factor (FF-3F) model in relation to a developing market. To this end, they consider Chinese stock markets over the period 1995–2008, which is to say, over a period when these markets are recognized as “developing” markets influenced by speculative activity. The authors find that the model appears to be working as a form of “principal component analysis for the determinants of stock price formation with book-to-market (B/M) as the “variable of choice” on account of that it captures the earnings-to-price (E/P), cash-flow-to-price (C/P) and sales-to-price (S/P) variables while remaining largely uncorrelated with firm size (whereas E/P, C/P and S/P are themselves positively correlated with firm size). The variables, however, are unrelated to risk as represented by market exposure, volatility, or leverage.
The relationship between fat, oil and grease (FOG) deposits in building drainage systems and FOG disposal patterns
Authors: Nieuwenhuis Eva , Langeveld Jeroen , Clemens François
Published: April 2018

Fat, oil and grease (FOG) deposits are an important contributor to blockages in building drainage systems. Such blockages bring undesirable financial, health and environmental costs, and thereby burden society. It is unclear to what extent the behavior of inhabitants, and more precisely domestic FOG disposal, affects the occurrence of FOG blockages. For this study, samples of FOG blockages were collected from building drainage systems (kitchen drains and lateral house connections) and analyzed. The results showed that the deposits were calcium salts of fatty acids. Dissimilarities between the network locations demonstrate that, even at short distance, in-sewer transformation processes occur. Surveys were conducted to reveal information about FOG disposal patterns. Three households showed a clear link between the type of cooking oils used and the type of deposits collected.
Role of MicroRNAs in Treatment Response in Prostate Cancer
Authors: Razdan Anshuli , de Souza Paul , Roberts Tara Laurine
Published: April 2018

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common non-skin cancer in men worldwide, resulting in
significant mortality and morbidity. Depending on the grade and stage of the cancer, patients may be
given radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, or chemotherapy. However, more than half of these patients
develop resistance to treatment, leading to disease progression and metastases, often with lethal
consequences. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, non-coding RNAs, which regulate numerous
physiological as well as pathological processes, including cancer. miRNAs mediate their regulatory
effect predominately by binding to the 3′-untranslated region (UTR) of their target mRNAs. In this
review, we will describe the mechanisms by which miRNAs mediate resistance to radiation and drug
therapy (i.e. hormone therapy and chemotherapy) in PCa, including control of apoptosis, cell growth
and proliferation, autophagy, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), invasion and metastasis,
and cancer stem cells (CSCs). Furthermore, we will discuss the utility of circulating miRNAs isolated
from different body fluids of prostate cancer patients as non-invasive biomarkers of cancer detection,
disease progression, and therapy response. Finally, we will shortlist the candidate miRNAs,
which may have a role in drug and radioresistance, that could potentially be used as predictive biomarkers
of treatment response.
Identification of Adjacent NNRTI Binding Pocket in Multi-mutated HIV1- RT Enzyme Model: An in silico Study
Authors: Kamil R.F. , Debnath U. , Verma S. , Prabhakar Y.S.
Published: April 2018

Introduction:

A possible strategy to combat mutant strains is to have a thorough structural
evaluation before and after mutations to identify the diversity in the non-nucleoside inhibitor binding
pocket and their effects on enzyme-ligand interactions to generate novel NNRTI’s accordingly.

Objective:

The primary objective of this study was to find effects of multiple point mutations on
NNRTI binding pocket. This study included the contribution of each individual mutation in NNIBP
that propose an adjacent binding pocket which can be used to discover novel NNRTI derivatives.

Methods:

An in Silico model of HIV-1 RT enzyme with multiple mutations K103N, Y181C and
Y188L was developed and evaluated. Two designed NNRTI pyridinone derivatives were selected as
ligands for docking studies with the homology model through alignment based docking and residue
based docking approaches. Binding pockets of wild type HIV-1 RT and multi-mutated homology
model were compared thoroughly.

Result and Discussion:

K103N mutation narrowed the entrance of NNRTI binding pocket and forbade
electrostatic interaction with α amino group of LYS103. Mutations Y181C and Y188L prevented
NNRTI binding by eliminating aromatic π interactions offered by tyrosine rings. Docking
study against new homology model suggested an adjacent binding pocket with combination of residues
in palm and connection domains. This pocket is approximately 14.46Å away from conventional
NNRTI binding site.

Conclusion:

Increased rigidity, steric hindrance and losses of important interactions cumulatively
prompt ligands to adapt adjacent NNRTI binding pocket. The proposed new and adjacent binding
pocket is identified by this study which can further be evaluated to generate novel derivatives.

Published: April 2018

Background: Hypertension (HTN) is the main cause of cardiovascular diseases
accounting for one-third of global mortality. Physical exercise reduces the incidence and prevalence
of HTN and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Exercises recommended for hypertensive patients
include supervised cardiac rehabilitation, which occurs in rehabilitation centers, and partly
supervised rehabilitation, with the individual prescription of exercises conducted at patients’ residences.

Objective: Compare clinical and functional parameters of hypertensive patients subjected to two
cardiac rehabilitation protocols: supervised and partly supervised.

Method: Hypertensive patients stage I or II were randomly divided into group one (G1) (partly
supervised cardiac rehabilitation) and group two (G2) (supervised cardiac rehabilitation). All patients
performed a warm-up, aerobic exercise, strength training and cool-down. Participants’ assessments
conducted before and after intervention included: physical examination, six-minute walk
test, cardiac stress test, metabolic tests, and central and peripheral blood pressure measurements.

Results: A total of 61 patients (mean age 60.3±11.3 years, 78.7% women) were randomized (30 in
G1 and 31 in G2). At the end of the intervention, G1 increased 30.6 meters (p=0.004) and G2 increased
55.0 meters (p>0.001) the distance covered in the six-minute walk test. G2 showed an increase
in the maximum oxygen consumption from 24.7±8.6 mlO2/Kg/min to 28.4±7.5 mlO2/Kg/min
(p=0.003). Compliance with the intervention was similar in G1 and G2 (77.5±11% x 82±10%;
p=0.654).

Conclusion: Participants from both groups improved their physical fitness and showed satisfactory
compliance and tolerability to the interventions. The supervised exercise was more effective in improving
muscle strength and some physical fitness parameters.

Este artículo indaga en la creación de una nueva institución para el gobierno de la formación docente en Argentina, el Instituto Nacional de Formación Docente (INFD) y qué lugar construyó en la tarea de restañar lo común. Se sostiene que la formación docente (y su gobierno) se constituyó nuevamente em una pieza clave para esa reconstrucción. Para eso, en primer lugar recorre muy brevemente el panorama y los principales problemas que atravesaban el terreno de la formación docente a fines del siglo XX. En segundo lugar, el proceso de creación del INFD y los aportes y definiciones que incorpora la Ley Nacional de Educación sancionada en 2006 respecto de la formación docente, qué lineamientos establece, cómo se vinculan con las políticas en curso. En tercer lugar, analiza lo que el INFD logró producir así como tensiones y emergentes novedosos. Por último, da cuenta de las nuevas orientaciones puestas en marcha desde 2016 respecto de la Formación Docente y otros modos de abordar lo común. En cada uno de los puntos enumerados aborda cuestiones ligadas a la reconstrucción del sistema formador de docentes y su gobierno, a las instituciones formadoras, a las políticas curriculares y a las políticas estudiantiles entendiendo que en todas ellas también se disputa lo común.
MARCHAS Y CONTRAMARCHAS DE LOS INSTITUTOS DE FORMACIÓN DOCENTE DE PARAGUAY (1970 – 2017)

Published: April 2018

Este artículo analiza la formación docente en Paraguay, dando especial atención a los Institutos de Formación Docente (IFD), responsables de la formación inicial de docentes en los últimos cincuenta años. Los cambios en la formación docente se dieron en tres grandes momentos: el periodo de 1970 a 1989 durante la reforma denominada “Innovaciones educacionales”, cuando se crean los IFD, el periodo de 1989 - 2008, correspondiente reforma de los noventa, cuando se da una expansión de los IFD; y el periodo entre 2008 y 2017, caracterizado por la revisión de los modelos de formación docente y la disminución de la matrícula de los IFD. Al inicio de la reforma de los noventa se observa un aumento significativo de los institutos de formación docente, en especial los institutos privados, em respuesta a la necesidad de expandir la matrícula en todos los niveles educativos. A mediados de la siguiente década habían disminuido considerablemente las plazas para nuevos docentes y el Ministerio de Educación suspende la apertura y habilitación de nuevos IFD. La situación actual es de dispersión institucional con énfasis en la evaluación como dispositivo de “aseguramiento de la calidad”. El futuro docente encuentra con escaso apoyo para su formación inicial y debe enfrentar dispositivos evaluativos que ponen en riesgo su ingreso y su permanencia en la carrera docente.

Considerando a revisão da problemática acerca da função do agir extensionista, pontuamos que a educação e a ação no campo se referem a estudos que surgem a partir da crítica à extensão rural, que apontaram para a mudança da função do extensionista na reformulação do seu papel social, com apostas ao paradigma da comunicação rural. Essa mudança, implícita na ação extensionista, diverge da prática orientada para essa noção. Nesse viés, entendemos a necessidade de revisar a problemática da função teórico-prática da extensão rural, no sentido de identificar e reconhecer a coerência da proposta de atuação e do projeto de desenvolvimento. Esta produção se refere a uma pesquisa bibliográfica com base nos estudos em aula, a partir de componentes curriculares administrados no ensino superior das ciências agrárias. Verificamos que a função da extensão rural permanece a de promover o processo de desenvolvimento urbano-industrial na perspectiva da relação sujeito-objeto, mas, por outro lado, o movimento crítico à essa função se mostra como possibilidade evidente, cada vez mais.

Mother tongue defense is an effort to preserve the language treasures in Nusantara. Mother tongue as part of Indonesian wealth must be kept early, especially in elementary school level. If elementary school children lose their native language, it will deprive their own culture and character. Damage to language in children is a clear proof that maintaining the mother tongue is very important. Mother tongue defense in addition to strengthening in language learning can also be done through cultural diversity, maintaining ethnic identity, social adaptability, enhancing childrenâ€™s sense of security and enhancing linguistic sensitivity. In addition, it needs family support, language environment in schools, language celebrations and mass media support as forming the public language.

Este estudio es parte del macroproyecto Modelo para producción de contenidos digitales educativos para inclusión de sordos, adscrito al Programa Nacional Arquitectura Pedagógica, didáctica y tecnológica para formación de profesores en y para la diversidad, financiado por COLCIENCIAS mediante contrato 546-2014.  En este proyecto se presentó el videojuego desde el punto de vista educativo mostrando sus ventajas y desventajas como oportunidad para potencializar los procesos de enseñanza aprendizaje en la población sorda. Para ello, se llevó a cabo una investigación documental, una fase heurística sobre investigaciones realizadas por expertos en el tema de la educación para todos y el uso de los videojuegos, y, otra hermenéutica, para sintetizar la información en una cuadrícula que menciona las diferentes ventajas y desventajas de los videojuegos educativos para la población infantil y adolescente..  Asimismo, se reconoce la necesidad de las escuelas de poseer una infraestructura y soporte en hardware y software necesarios para la aplicación del video juego educativo. Como resultado se establece una secuencia didáctica para uso del video juego educativo como estrategia educativa que contribuya al desarrollo de habilidades y capacidades en el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje de los sordos y oyentes.
Elementos para la discusión sobre la gobernanza y gobernabilidad en el posconflicto en Colombia
Authors: Buelvas Mendoza Milton , Florez Campo Oscar
Published: April 2018

En el presente artículo de reflexión se dará cuenta que el éxito del posconflicto concurren diversas variables que si se logran materializar permitirán reafirmar la paz y su permanencia en el tiempo. Podemos destacar entre esas variables, el cumplimiento de los Acuerdos pactados entre gobierno e insurgencia,  y para eso se necesitará voluntad política de las partes, y los recursos económicos que sostengan lo acordado. Que la Justicia Especial para la Paz cumpla su cometido y logre garantizar justicia, reparación y no repetición. Estos aspectos significan que los gobernantes deben estar dispuestos a impulsar la cristalización de lo pactado y para ello será indispensable gobernanza y gobernabilidad.

Trabajo social frente a la construcción del género y la influencia de la multiculturalidad.
Authors: Del Rio Durango Jennifer
Published: April 2018

En este artículo de investigación se  analizarán  y cuestionarán diferentes representaciones del género en el contexto multicultural de la ciudad de Cartagena. En tal orden de ideas, plantea una concepción compleja de la identidad de género, pues explora cómo las construcciones sociales de lo femenino: a) producen violencias de diversa naturaleza; b) son fomentadas mediante instituciones (escuela, religión, familia); y c) están ligadas a otros aspectos como la raza, la clase social y el lugar de origen. Por otro lado, la investigación alude a una serie de discursos (normativos, teóricos) y prácticas que permiten reformular los esquemas anteriores, con el fin de promover nuevas formas de libertad, tolerancia y resistencia.

Published: April 2018

Let G? be a signed graph with the underlying graph G and with sign function ?
: E(G) ? {?}. In this paper, we characterize the signed graphs with two
distinct eigenvalues whose underlying graphs are triangle-free. Also, we
classify all 3-regular and 4-regular signed graphs whose underlying graphs
are triangle-free and give their adjacency matrices as well.

Extension of the Kantorovich inequality for positive multilinear mappings
Authors: Kian Mohsen , Dehghani Mahdi
Published: April 2018

It is known that the power function f (t) = t2 is not matrix monotone.
Recently, it has been shown that t2 preserves the order in some matrix
inequalities. We prove that if A = (A1,...,Ak) and B = (B1,...,Bk)
are k-tuples of positive matrices with 0 < m ? Ai; Bi ? M (i = 1,...,k)
for some positive real numbers m < M, then ?2 (A-11,...,A-1k) ?
(1+vk)2/4vk)2 ?-2(A1,...,Ak) and ?2 (A1+B1/2,..., Ak+Bk/2)?
(1+vk)2/4vk)2 ?2 (A1#B1,...Ak#Bk), where ? is a unital
positive multilinear mapping and v = M/m is the condition number of each Ai.
φ-contractibility of some classes of Banach function algebras
Authors: Essmaili Morteza , Sanatpour Amir
Published: April 2018

In this paper, we study ?-contractibility of natural Banach function algebras
on a compact Hausdorff space. As a consequence, we characterize
?-contractibility of the Lipschitz algebra Lip(X,d?), for a compact metric
space (X,d). We also characterize ?-contractibility of certain subalgebras
of Lipschitz functions including rational Lipschitz algebras, analytic
Lipschitz algebras and differentiable Lipschitz algebras.
A new approach to the constructions of braided T-categories
Authors: Lu Daowei , You Miman
Published: April 2018

The aim of this paper is to construct a new braided T-category via the
generalized Yetter-Drinfel?d modules and Drinfel?d codouble over a Hopf
algebra, an approach different from that proposed by Panaite and Staic [1].
Moreover, in the case of finite dimensional, we will show that this category
coincides with the corepresentation of a certain coquasitriangular Turaev
group algebra which we construct. Finally we apply our theory to the case of
group algebra.
Synthesis and luminescent properties of novel red-emitting M7Sn(PO4)6:Eu3+(M= Sr,Ba) phosphors
Authors: Feng Guo , Jiang Weihui , Liu Jianmin , Li Cong , Zhang Quan
Published: April 2018

Novel Eu3+-activated M7Sn(PO4)6 (where M = Sr, Ba) red-emitting phosphors
were synthesized via conventional solid-state reaction method at 1200 ?C for
2 h. The luminescence properties of the prepared samples and quenching
concentration of Sr7-xSn(PO4)6 :xEu3+ and Ba7-xSn(PO4)6 :xEu3+ were
investigated. These phosphors can be efficiently excited by UV (395 nm) and
visible blue (465 nm) light nicely matching the output wavelengths of the
near-UV LEDs and InGaN blue LED chips and emit the red light. The critical
concentrations of the Eu3+ activator were found to be 0.175mol and 0.21mol
per formula unit for Sr7-xSn(PO4)6 :xEu3+ and Ba7-xSn(PO4)6 :xEu3+,
respectively. The M7-xSn(PO4)6 :xEu3+ (M = Sr, Ba) phosphor may be a good
candidate for light-emitting diodes application.
Influence of Ti addition on thermophyscial properties of Sm2Ce2O7 oxides
Authors: Chen Xiaoge , Zhang Hongsong , Zhou Longfei , Ren Bo , Tang An , Dang Xudan
Published: April 2018

Sm2(Ce1-xTix)2O7 (where x = 0, 0.1,0.3, 0.5) solid solutions were synthesized
by conventional solid state reaction method using Sm2O3, CeO2 and TiO2 as
raw reactants. The synthesized powders were pressed into pellets by cold
isostatic pressing and pressure-less sintered at 1600 ?C for ten hours.
Their phase-structure and thermophysical properties were studied. The
synthesized samples exhibit single defect fluorite-type structure. Due to
the phonon scattering by substitutional atoms, the thermal conductivities of
the Sm2(Ce1-xTix)2O7 solid solutions decrease with the increasing Ti4+
content over the entire temperature range, which are significantly lower
than that of yttrium stabilized zirconia (YSZ). The thermal expansion
coefficients of the prepared Sm2(Ce1-xTix)2O7 solid solutions also decrease
with the increasing Ti4+ fraction, which can be attributed to the lower
titanium ion radius.
Structure and dielectric behaviour of Sr-modified Bi4Si3O12 thin films prepared via sol gel method
Authors: Sadeghzadeh-Attar Abbas , Hajijafari-Bidgoli Saeid , Bafandeh Mohammad
Published: April 2018

Bismuth silicate (Bi4Si3O12, BSO) nanostructured films containing 0,1,2, and
3mol% Sr were prepared via sol-gel method and annealed at different
temperatures up to 700?C. The effects of Sr content on the structure and
morphology of prepared films were investigated. SEM images showed that
surfaces of the prepared films were dense, smooth and homogeneous. The
average particle size was changed from 30 to 35 nm as the annealing
temperature was increased from 500 to 700?C. Variation of the dielectric
constant and dielectric loss as a function of frequency and annealing
temperature for the synthesized thin films with different content of Sr were
also studied. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss decrease with Sr
addition, and reach the minimum for the sample containing 2mol% Sr. These
changes could be attributed to the crystal structure and formation of
secondary phases.
A complication during endoscopic removal of a long esophageal foreign body in an eight-month-old girl
Authors: Djuric Zlatko , Zivanovic Dragoljub
Published: April 2018

Introduction. Esophageal foreign bodies can cause a wide array of acute and delayed complications. The aim of this paper was to report a complication during endoscopic removal of a long esophageal foreign body. Case outline. An eight-month-old girl was admitted to our hospital due to an acute onset of dysphagia, drooling, and vomiting. From the result of a plain anteroposterior X-ray, the patient was found to have a long hairpin retained in her esophagus. During endoscopic removal using a polypectomy snare, the hairpin was found to be stuck in the hypopharynx. It could not be removed by moving the scope and placing the patient in different positions. Finally, the hairpin was pulled out using a pair of Magill forceps under the control of a laryngoscope. Conclusion. The Magill forceps can be a very useful tool if a foreign body is stuck in the hypopharynx during an endoscopic removal and should be readily available in any setting where this kind of endoscopic procedure is being performed.
