Seismic Performance of Special Truss Moment Frames With X-Bracing Type: Influence of Building Height
Authors: Sugihardjo Hidajat , Habieb Ahmad Basshofi , Karuniawan Robi
Published: November 2022

This study investigated the implementation of Special Truss Moment Frames (STMF) X-braced type in accordance with the recommendations of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP), 1997:2000 and Indonesian National Standards (SNI) 1726 where it is stated that the STMF may only be used up to a maximum building height of 48 m (160 feet) for Seismic Design Category of D. The analyses compared the seismic response of apartment buildings using STMF system with different height: 44 m (11 stories), 48 m (12 stories), and 52 m (13 stories). The nonlinear behaviors were investigated through a series of nonlinear time history and pushover analyses, including the inelastic response of the structural components, top-roof displacement, drift ratio, and ductility. The structural modeling and the selection of steel sections were performed in SAP 2000 based on SNI 1726 code, considering that the structure was built on medium soil in Aceh region. Seismic performance was examined through a series of pushover and nonlinear time history analysis (NLTHA) using three scaled accelerogram: Elcentro 1940, Northridge 1994 and Kobe 1995 records. The results of the study show that in case of STMF structure with the height of 52 m (higher than the maximum height of STMF structure stated in the codes), the seismic performance of the structure was excellent and met the requirements. Axial plasticization occurred only in X-braces, not followed by the formation of plastic hinges at the ends of the ductile segments. Meanwhile, the other structural components remained elastic. This indicates that the structure can still be used after the earthquake, by replacing only the X-braced components. The drift ratio met the requirements and the roof displacements behavior was asymptotic, indicating that there is no residual horizontal displacement of the building after the seismic loads occurred.
Probabilistic Analysis of Strip Footings Using the Subset Simulation Approach and the Influence of Spatial Variability of Two Clay Layers
Authors: Thajeel Jawad K. , Thahab Amell Jabbar
Published: November 2022

This article studies the probabilistic analysis at the ultimate limit state (ULS) of a strip footing resting on a purely cohesive soil composed of two layers with spatial variability of the upper or lower layer and treats the simultaneous effect of the variability of the two layers on the probability of failure Pf
value using the subset simulation approach. The results are examined by comparing the Pf
values obtained with the Pf
value corresponding to the reference case of two homogenous clay layers. In general, the subset simulation approach is used in cases of uncertain parameters modeled by random variables. But in this paper, it is employed with uncertain parameters modeled by random fields because the spatial variability of soil properties strongly affects the behavior of geotechnical structures and causes a significant change in the variability of their responses. The soil cohesion parameter is modelled as a non-Gaussian (log-normal) anisotropic random field using a square exponential autocorrelation function by the optimal linear expansion estimation (EOLE) and the deterministic model is based on numerical simulations using the finite difference software FLAC3D.
The Mechanical and Efficiency Constraints when Swimming Front Crawl with the Aquanex System
Authors: Santos Catarina , Marinho Daniel , Costa Mário
Published: November 2022

The aim of this study was to compare the mechanical and efficiency constraints between free swim and swimming with differential pressure sensors (Aquanex System). These conditions were also analysed to understand the differences between sexes. Thirty young swimmers, 14 boys and 16 girls (12.31 ± 0.67 years) performed three 25-m front crawl maximal bouts under each condition: free swim and swimming with sensors. Under the condition with sensors, swimmers carried the Aquanex System composed of two hand pressure sensors (v.4.1, Model DU2, Type A, Swimming Technology Research, Richmond, VA, USA). The 25-m time (T25) was assessed as a swimming performance variable. The swimming velocity (v), stroke rate (SR), and stroke length (SL) were assessed and calculated as stroke mechanics variables. Thereafter, the stroke index (SI) and arm stroke efficiency (ηF) were estimated for swimming efficiency. Statistical significance was set at p ≤ 0.05. Swimming performance was impaired when swimmers swam with sensors (overall: p = 0.03, d = 0.14; Δ = 1.30%) and a significant decrease in v was found for overall (p = 0.04, d = 0.14; Δ = 1.42%) and the girls’ group (p < 0.01, d = 0.39; Δ = -1.99%). The remaining stroke mechanics variables showed no differences between conditions, as well as for swimming efficiency. Furthermore, there were no differences between girls and boys in free swim and with sensors for all variables. Swimming with the Aquanex System seems not to impose constraints in the mechanics and efficiency of young swimmers, despite differences in swimming performance and v.

Authors: Lazăr Ana Petra , Dako Timea , Bud Anamaria , Păcurar Mariana , Lazăr Luminița
Published: November 2022

Background: In the last decades, adult patients require orthodontic treatment as a therapeutic method in an increasing percentage. This treatment has a lot of benefits, but unfortunately it also presents a number of complications and risks, among which favoring the accumulation of bacterial plaque is the most concerning.

Aim of the study: In this study we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using the dark-field microscope as a method of motivating adult patients with orthodontic treatment in maintaining a proper oral hygiene.

Material and methods: Thirty-six patients were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. At time T0, patients were divided into two groups: Group 1–microscope and Group 2 – control, in such a way that the groups were as homogeneous as possible. Dental plaque samples were collected and analyzed under a dark field microscope in the presence of the patient for subjects from Group 1 but not Group 2. All patients were then instructed on oral hygiene techniques. The following periodontal indices were recorded of each patient: plaque index (PI), index of bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD) – at T0 and T1 (after one month).

Results: Comparing the PI and BOP values before (T0) and after treatment (T1), statistically significant results were detected (PI: p = 0.0020, BOP: p = 0.0297), which denotes that patients who observed the bacterial load of their dental plaque in real time using the dark-field microscope had a better oral hygiene and lower values of periodontal health indices. Regarding the PD index, the difference between time T0 and T1 was not statistically significant (p = 1.4762).

Conclusions: During the orthodontic treatment, adult patients often present gingival inflammation caused by improper hygiene. The use of the dark-field microscope is effective in motivating patients regarding the rules of maintenance of a proper oral hygiene.
Décor Motifs of the Bronze Chandeliers in Lithuania and Latvia in the 16th to the 18th Century: Typology, Prevalence, Symbolism
Authors: Valtaitė-Gagač Alantė
Published: November 2022

The article analyses for the first time the décor motifs of the bronze chandeliers from Lithuania and Latvia in the 16th–18th century. More abundant objects in Latvia are used to reconstruct the lost heritage of chandeliers in Lithuania, and the variety, origin, and symbolism of décor motifs are analysed. The study revealed two groups of décor elements: some of them came from the Gothic and were still used during the Renaissance, while other motifs were started to use altogether with the beginning of the promotion of antiquity culture in the 16th century. The tops of the chandeliers were not decorated with random but rather relevant and important elements of the symbolic meaning of that period. These could be allegorical motifs of décor symbolising fire/Heavenly light, motifs symbolising Divine order on earth or Divine patronage, as well as heraldic décor elements denoting political relationships or friendliness.

The Need to Implement Change in Educational Leadership
Authors: Anghel Blidaru Roxana Maria
Published: November 2022

This article is inspired by the practical approach to education reforms, within education for all. These reforms have greatly fueled political dialogue and exchange of experience. Given the number of countries and regions of the world concerned, these reforms take place in a wide variety of contexts that underlie the specificity of each. Consequently, any possibility of classification and typology may encounter theoretical and practical obstacles that are difficult to overcome. Although we do not ignore them, observing certain dominant common features of these reforms allows us to try it through a double input: the expectations and the conduct of change, especially those determined by the globalization of reforms through the frameworks of successive education assessments and international assessments (PISA, TIMSS, PASEC, SAQMEC). The challenge is threefold. It is primarily a matter of categorizing expectations and strategic choices that make it possible to distinguish policies in the field of educational reform. This opens up a deeper understanding of the nature and impact of each of these different types of reform to better inform the analysis of the options that have guided the unfolding of change. The second challenge is to identify the major challenges faced by change management. Such challenges, by their scale and complexity, often explain the discrepancies between expectations for change and the results of reforms. One of the implications is also that addressing these challenges creates the critical conditions for successful reforms. The reflection on the lessons learned then opens the way to new perspectives for the development of reforms to which current and future trends in the evolution of education systems are articulated.

Objective: to develop a diagnostic model that includes CT and radiomic features for the differential diagnosis of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) G1 and G2 and pancreatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastases.

Material and Methods. 78 patients with 79 hypervascular PNETs and 17 patients with 24 pancreatic RCC metastases who underwent pancreatic resection and histological verification were selected in the study. All the patients underwent preoperative contrast enhanced CT (CECT). We assessed tumor attenuation, composition (cystic/solid), homogeneity (homogeneous/heterogeneous), calcification and presence of the main pancreatic duct (MPD) dilation. We calculated lesion-to-parenchyma contrast (LPC), relative tumor enhancement ratio (RTE) and extracted 52 texture features for arterial phase of CECT. Qualitative and texture features were compared between PNETs and pancreatic RCC metastasis. The selection of predictors for the logistic model was carried out in 2 successive stages: 1) selection of predictors based on one-factor logistic models, the selection criterion was p < 0.2; 2) selection of predictors using L2 regularization (LASSO regression after standardization of independent variables). The selected predictors were included in a logistic regression model without interactions, the coefficients of which were estimated using the maximum likelihood method with a penalty of 0.8.

Results. There was no difference in composition, homogeneity (homogeneous/heterogeneous) and presence of the MPD dilation between groups. We did not find calcification in pancreatic RCC metastasis, in contrast to the PNETs (9% contained calcifications). After selection, the LCR, CONVENTIONAL_HUmin, GLCM_Correlation, NGLDM_Coarseness were included in the final diagnostic model, which showed a sensitivity and specificity of 95.8%; 62% in the prediction of pancreatic RCC metastases.

Conclusion. The diagnostic model developed on the basis of texture and CT-features has high sensitivity (95.8%) with moderate specificity (62%), which allows it to be used in complex diagnostic cases to determine the patient's treatment tactics.

Figurative language is a part of semantics study. Through studying semantics, meanings of words can be learnt. This study entitled “Figurative Language in Barack Obama’s Speech at The United Nations General Assembly” is aimed at identifying the types and analyzing the meanings of Figurative Language used by Barack Obama in his first speech at The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). The theory stated by Wren & Martin (2000) and Leech (1981) were used in analyzing the data. The data was presented and explained descriptively in the third chapter of this research. Any sentences containing figurative language were differentiated by a code created by the researcher. A speech delivered by Barack Obama at United Nations General Assembly was used as the data source of this research. As a result, there are seventeen data were found containing seven types of figurative language, one data contains a metaphor, three data contain personification, two data contain a symbol, four data contain an apostrophe, four data contain verbal irony, one data contains antithesis, one data contain euphemism, and one data contains epigram. There were five theories of meaning by Leech (1981) implied in the speech, including conceptual, connotative, social, affective, and reflected meaning. As this study is focusing on the theory of figurative language, it is expected that the results will be valuable to students of English Literature or others. The figurative language and meanings applied in this research can be used to provide a clearer and better understanding of the meanings of figurative language.

The purpose of this research is to ascertain how individuals feel or think about a certain issue or institution. Additionally, this study employs two theories: the first is from Sigmund Freud and is referred to be the model of the mind; the second is from Kenney and is referred to as the forms of conflict. Following that, this study discovered that conflict between a single man and conflict between men happened mostly in Joe Goldberg's character. Meanwhile, when Joe Goldberg is attempting to solve an issue, his id, ego, and superego all play a significant part.

Research subject. The anomalous magnetic ﬁeld of the southern part of the Barents Sea Shelf.

Materials and methods. The research was based on a digital matrix (grid) of the anomalous magnetic ﬁeld (AMP) compiled from the materials of magnetic surveys performed in 2002–2007 by a number of research organizations and research and production companies. A model describing the structure and formation of the magneto-active layer of the southern part of the Barentsevomorsk region was developed. An analysis of the radially averaged ﬁeld spectrum made it possible to establish the conﬁnement of the upper edges of the ﬁeld sources to several structural horizons. Band ﬁltering in the frequency domain in accordance with the allocated depth ranges allowed anomalies to be distinguished from other sources. To determine the nature of sources of magnetic anomalies at diﬀerent levels of the earth’s crust, an integrated analysis of gravimagnetic ﬁelds, seismic proﬁling data and ground studies was conducted.

Results. At least two levels of magnetic anomaly sources were found: the distribution of eﬀective magnetization for the low-frequency component of AMP, reﬂecting the depth structure of the region, and the high-frequency component of AMP, reﬂecting the distribution of local intrusions in the upper part of the foundation and in the sedimentary cover. The lower level is represented by massive blocks of deep laying and corresponds to the SDR (Seaward Dipping Reﬂectors) complex, which is an alternation of tectonic plates of continental material with ultrabasite basites that were introduced into the crust at the post-rift stage of the continent’s split. The zone of positive linear anomalies of the magnetic ﬁeld reﬂects the divergent boundary of the ancient continental plate of the Baltic, which arose during the fragmentation of the supercontinent of Colombia (Paleopangea) in the middle reef and the formation of the Rifean oceanic basin, which was then veiled by subsequent tectonic processes. The upper structural level indicates the introduction of the main composition into the upper layers of the earth’s crust in the zones of rift-forming faults of magma in late Devonian times during the process of continental rifting on the Svalbard Plate. This is conﬁrmed by the presence of manifestations of the main magmatism within the propagation zone of the South Barents riftogenic depression into the body of the Baltic Shield.

Conclusions. The conducted integrated analysis of the anomalous magnetic ﬁeld and other geological and geophysical data allowed the authors to establish the nature of the sources of magnetic anomalies located at diﬀerent structural levels of the earth’s crust in the southwestern part of the Barents Sea shelf. The magnetoactive layer of this region is characterized by a complex structure, the section of which includes at least two structural levels, each reﬂecting certain evolutionary stages of the earth’s crust.

Editors-in-chief (EIC) of medical journals have the paramount responsibility of directing the dissemination of peer-reviewed medical information and influencing contemporary clinical practices. While previous literature has assessed gender differences in the allergy and immunology physician workforce [1], the percentage of female EICs leading immunology medical journals remains unknown. In this cross-sectional study, we ascertained the proportion of high-impact immunology medical journals with female EICs and whether there was an association between impact factor and EIC gender.
The Use of Intravenous Tenecteplase in Acute Ischemic Stroke after Idarucizumab Reversal of Dabigatran Anticoagulant Effects; Experience from a Regional Hospital Directed by Video Telemedicine Stroke Specialist
Authors:   Goulburn Valley Health, Ibrahim Tunde Maiyaki
Published: November 2022

Novel Oral Anticoagulants (NOACs) are widely used in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation to prevent Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) and other thrombo- embolic phenomena. The management of AIS with Intravenous Thrombolysis Therapy (IVT), also known as fibrinolytic therapy in people who are taking NOACs poses a great challenge due to increased risks of hemorrhage and intracranial bleeding. We present the case of a 77-year-old man on dabigatran for atrial fibrillation who woke up with an extensive right middle cerebral artery ischemic stroke and had his anticoagulant effects reversed with idarucizumab before successful thrombolysis with intravenous tenectaplase.
Creating a Community-Based Disaster Management System
Authors: Zangana Hewa Majeed
Published: November 2022

This research is aimed into Malaysia's efforts to harness ICT's pervasiveness to manage natural and man-made calamities. These efforts have resulted in various agencies and programs ranging from forecasting to coordination and monitoring, but the number of fatalities during such inevitable catastrophes has been a major worry. Unfortunately, as seen by recent storms in Malaysia, the number of such calamities continues to rise. A proposal to create a crisis management joint platform will work alongside government departments, allowing for real-time sharing of knowledge, resources, and information. The building of the mosque drew the community into the system since they are seen as the closest to the people. These actions will surely bolster the government's attempts to meet its objectives. As a result, experts suggest that teaching these communities, which are expected to form a volunteer community, the science of gathering information and putting it to good use in the case of a disaster, would go ways away beyond maximizing tax dollars.
Equity in Tax Law: Vietnam Case Study
Authors: Thao Le Thi , Trien Nguyen Thi
Published: November 2022

Fairness is a fundamental principle in the design of optimal tax systems. This concept of equity in taxation emerges from two primary viewpoints: the benefits principle, which relates to the services and advantages taxpayers receive from society, and the ability-to-pay principle, which focuses on taxpayers' income levels. Echoing economist Adam Smith's views, taxes are pivotal to the stability of economic institutions, and lack of transparency can lead to economic disturbances. This paper explores the evolution of tax law in Vietnam, examining how fairness has been addressed in aspects such as tax obligations, exemptions, administration, and accountability. Through an analysis of the historical development of these elements, the paper proposes solutions to enhance the fairness of the Vietnamese tax legal framework, considering the economic, social, and political context of the country across different stages of its development.
Relationship for the Establishment of Local Regulations in the Job Creation Law

The job creation law was born with the aim of opening the widest possible investment climate in Indonesia. To date, investors still face obstacles in investing in the form of difficult regulations. This can be seen in the inadequate coordination between local regulations and central government regulations. Based on this, the problem arises how is the relationship for the establishment of local regulations in the job creation law? The method used in this research is normative legal research with a qualitative approach method with a focus on regulations and related data to answer problems. It can be concluded that Article 174 of the job creation law adds rules regarding the relationship between the central and local governments, namely the authority of local governments as part of the presidential authority. Article 176 a quo also changes a number of local government authorities. For example, the licensing authority in Article 350 of Law 23/2014. In PP No 6/2021, Article 3 Implementation of Business Licensing in the Regions is carried out by the Central Government, Provincial Government, and City/Regency Goverment in accordance with their respective authorities based on the provisions of laws and regulations. From the licensing rules, it is not executive preview as a form of preventive supervision, but top-down control that dominates. This has the potential to eliminate local content and conditions based on regional interests.

The proper functioning of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) single market necessitates the elimination of discriminatory value-added tax (VAT) laws on commodities. This study aims to empirically assess the imperative for harmonizing VAT legislation among GCC countries. Data for this investigation were gathered from diverse sources, including ministry websites, VAT laws of each country, published articles, and other online repositories related to VAT. Statistical analysis was conducted using Microsoft Excel, with harmonization as the dependent variable and factors influencing Value Added Tax Legislation as independent variables. The findings underscore the significance of harmonizing VAT legislation in GCC nations to optimize the efficacy of tax laws and address challenges faced by companies due to discriminatory VAT regulations and double taxation. This study contributes by evaluating the current state and necessity for harmonizing VAT legislation in the GCC, providing timely insights for policymakers, regulators, and practitioners to comprehend its importance.
