A statistical investigation to determine dominant frequency of layered soil profiles
Authors: GÜLLÜ Ahmet , HASANOĞLU Serkan
Published: April 2021

Energy based seismic design getting attraction since it accounts for all structural (hysteretic behavior of structural members), earthquake (amplitude, duration and frequency content) and soil (bearing capacity, frequency content) characteristics. To develop an efficient energy based seismic design procedure, accurate determination of the fundamental periods of the soil deposits is crucial. Hence, several analytical, numerical and approximate methods were suggested in the literature to find out fundamental periods of layered soil profiles. However, practitioners tend to use the simplest and the roughest methods, generally. In this particular research, a statistical study was performed to find out the best fit coefficient for the total travel time having minimum standard deviation. In the analyses, the calculated fundamental periods of 459 different soil profiles are compared with the results of almost exact analytical equations. Resultantly, the equation generally preferred by the practitioners is improved. It is proved that the improved equation has higher accuracy with lowest standard deviation and higher correlation. Therefore, using the improved equation to determine fundamental period of the layered soil profiles is highly suggested.
Partial engine fault detection and control of a Quadrotor considering model uncertainty
Authors: ASADİ Davood
Published: April 2021

This paper presents a trajectory tracking fault-tolerant control strategy inside an autonomous emergency landing architecture to control a quadrotor in case of partial rotor fault. The proposed architecture, which is composed of required hardware and subsystems, aims to ensure a fully autonomous safe landing of the impaired quadrotor to a suitable landing site. The controller strategy, which is tried to be coincident with the proposed emergency landing architecture and the Pixhawk autopilot contains a cascade three-loop structure of adaptive sliding mode and a modified PID algorithm along with a fault detection algorithm. The adaptive sliding mode and the PID algorithms are applied to the fast dynamics of angular velocity rates and the position control of the quadrotor, respectively. A lightweight fault detection algorithm is developed to detect and identify the partial faults of engine using the controller outputs and the filtered angular rates. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed fault-tolerant controller can control the multi-rotor in partial engine faults with satisfactory tracking performance. The results also demonstrate the effect of fault detection time delay on the overall control performance.
Is Pathological Demand Avoidance a “meaningful subgroup” of autism?
Authors: Woods Richard
Published: April 2021

Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) is a proposed Mental Disorder, from Elizabeth Newson, in the United Kingdom. While excluded from the two main diagnostic manuals, PDA has garnered much interest and controversy. While originally viewed as a new type of syndrome, a Pervasive Developmental Coding Disorder. Presently there is much focus on PDA as an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), that ignores broader discussions around how PDA should be clinically viewed. Due to arguments against doing that in favour of diagnosing PDA as an ASD. Charting the history of PDA from Newson’s research, through to how four main divergent schools of thought developed. From PDA being viewed as rebranded autism through to symptoms resulting from the interaction between autism and common co-occurring conditions. Conceptualising PDA as a common mental disorder best conforms to Newson’s opinions and research. Various empirical research supports this outlook. PDA can be diagnosed and researched independently of autism. Such an approach is needed to allow its full nature to become clear through scientific-method research.

Published: April 2021

Adolescent girls are one of the groups of people who is prone to iron nutrient deficiency. Iron is required as a substitute for iron lost due to the menstrual cycle. This research aims to determine the trigger factors of anemia in adolescent girls who become participants of the prevention and control program of anemia. This type of research is an observational research with cross sectional design and using statistical test of chelstle method of Mantel Haentzel and OR value for its meaning. The results shows there are four significant triggers of anemia that is perception of adolescent about nutrition (OR = 2,24; 95% CI = 1,05 - 4,76), adherence to TTD (OR = 2,49; 95% CI = 1.11 - 5.58), protein consumption levels (OR = 3.27, 95% CI = 1.57 - 6.84), iron intake (OR = 2.81; 95% CI = 1.30 - 6.05), and duration of menstrual bleeding (OR = 8.08; 95% CI = 1.05 - 61.89). The distribution of blood booster tablets or tablet tambah darah (TTD) needs to be intensified again, accompanied by an emphasis on the benefits of TTD tablets for young women, and to continue to consume independently when the distribution of TTD is terminated. In conclusion, adolescent girls are prevalent to iron nutrient due to menstrual cycle. Therefore, nutrition counseling should also be given besides consuming fresh foods rich in protein and iron as well as vegetables and fruits, because both foods contain vitamin C which greatly helps the absorption of iron in the body.
Differential expression of protocadherin 18 in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: April 2021

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding protocadherin 18, PCDH18, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. PCDH18 mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of PCDH18 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with recurrence-free survival in patients with luminal A cancers, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by molecular subtype. PCDH18 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

Kesadaran pembelajaran sejarah bagi generasi milenial
Authors: arieana yessy
Published: April 2021

Sejarah menurut Meullan mempunyai peran penting dalam membangun kepribadian, sikap mental, dan dapat membangkitkan kesadaran tentang suatu dimensi yang sangat fundamentalis dalam eksistensi manusia (Meullen, 1987: 8). Dasar eksistensi manusia adalah kontinyulitas dan perubahan yang bergerak secara dinamis menuju masa depan. Seperti halnya, Sejarah sebagai ilmu mempertunjukkan, tidak ada satu gagasan atau institusi yang tetap sepanjang masa, dan ia tidak akan bermakna apabila segala sesuatu dalam keadaan keadaan stabil. Bagi sebagian orang sejarah dianggap sesuatu yang tidak berguna. Sejarah adalah masa lalu yang harus ditinggalkan karena tidak memberikan manfaat apapun bagi kehidupannya. Hal ini nampak, misalnya, dalam cara mereka memandang masa lalu dengan tatapan yang sinis dan ingin melupakan. Kelompok ini menjadi bagian dari masyarakat kita yang oleh sebagian ahli dianggap tuna-sejarah (ahistory) yang dengan mudah melupakan masa lalunya dan tidak menghargai jejak peninggalan masa lalu dalam berbagai bentuknya. Atas nama pembangunan dan kemajuan, banyak peninggalan sejarah dibiarkan atau bahkan dihancurkan untuk kepentingan pembangunan. Hilangnya artefak itu berarti hilang pula jejak sejarah atau memori yang tersimpan di dalamnya. Namun, di sisi lain masih banyak juga yang percaya bahwa sejarah memberi manfaat bagi kehidupan.
Analyzing the Brain Drain Effect in Developing Countries: A Higher Education Perspective
Authors: Sriram Raghav
Published: April 2021

Frédéric Docquier, professor of Economics at Université Catholique de Louvain and researcher in migration and its economic effects, defines the “brain drain effect” as the transfer and migration of highly educated individuals from developing to developed countries. While the brain drain effect does present concern for richer more developed countries in terms of the native population’s job security and employment, it has a much more detrimental effect on poorer developing countries1 Once a high-skilled professional migrates out of their developing country after the time and money put in their training, they pay no taxes back to their home country and overall contribute no economic benefit.1 Furthermore, this can lead to shortages of manpower in certain professions due to the disproportionally large population of health professionals and engineers who emigrate, undermining a country’s ability to adopt new technologies and limits a developing nation’s growth potential. In 2010 there were 27.3 million foreign-born workers with higher education living in countries part of the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) with two-thirds of these high-skilled immigrants coming from developing countries, a 70% increase in ten years. This increase comes despite developing countries efforts in establishing and investing in infrastructure and education and the promotion of incentives to attract back high-skilled immigrants to their home countries.In many Middle Eastern countries, higher education fails to address the domestic issues within its country but rather the problems in other societies leading to an unfit workforce and the migration of thousands. Seeing as the effects of brain drain in developing countries are growing each year, changes must be made within post-secondary education in developing countries in order to retain a higher percentage of high-skilled educated persons.
Applying Bodily Sensation Maps To Art-Elicited Emotions: An Explorative Study
Authors: Schino Gemma , van Klaveren Lisa-Maria , Gallegos González Héctor Gerardo , Cox Ralf F. A.
Published: April 2021

Art is known to give rise to a large range of emotions in people. These emotions are associated with bodily sensations felt in various regions of the body and subjective feelings. The current study applies Bodily Sensation Maps (BSMs, Nummenmaa et al., 2014) as a tool to measure art-elicited emotions by charting bodily sensations onto a body map. Through a web survey, 90 participants viewed 36 new media visual artworks. After each artwork, they were asked (1) to point out the regions of their body in which they felt activity getting stronger or weaker, (2) to select, if appropriate, up to two primary emotion words being anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness or surprise, and (3) to rate the intensity of the subjective feeling on a continuous scale. By allowing two primary emotion words for each artwork, participants could report more complex emotions. Among complex emotions, bittersweetness, delight, despair, and repugnance occurred the most, and delight stands as the most frequently used. Results show that BSMs are a resourceful method to investigate simple and complex emotions elicited by art in terms of bodily sensations and subjective feelings. Interestingly, we found that art-elicited emotions were always characterized by increased activity in the head area. This study provides novel insights into the nature of art-elicited emotions and how they are experienced in the body, as well as how they are related to emotions in everyday life.
The Serbian validation of the Rational-Experiential Inventory-40 and the Rational-Experiential Multimodal Inventory
Authors: Purić Danka , Jokic Biljana
Published: April 2021

The widely used Rational-Experiential Inventory-40 (REI-40) assesses Rational and Experiential thinking styles. Recently, the authors have distinguished three aspects of the Experiential style: Intuition, Emotionality and Imagination and developed the Rational-Experiential Multimodal Inventory (REIm).In this study, we examined the internal consistency, structural/factorial, discriminant and known-groups validity of both REI-40 and REIm, in two samples of Serbian students. Participants in Study 1 (N = 819, mean age M = 19.81, 31% males) completed REI-40 and HEXACO Personality Inventory (HEXACO-PI-R), while participants in Study 2 (N = 304, mean age M = 19.47, 29% males) completed REIm, HEXACO-PI-R and Disintegration inventory DELTA.The internal consistency of both REI version subscales was acceptable to good. The results of CFA analyses indicated an acceptable fit for REI-40, while the structural validity of REIm was poor. Both REI-40 subscales (Rationality and Experientiality), as well as REIm Intuition demonstrated only a small content overlap with basic personality traits, while REIm Experientiality, Emotionality and Imagination correlated highly with Openness and Emotionality. We also observed some gender differences in the expected direction.

Published: April 2021

In India, the usage of Menstrual Cups is comparatively limited. The study focuses on the acceptability, affordability, accessibility and awareness of Menstrual Cups amongst Indian women in the menstruating age. An assessment of the Knowledge, Aptitude, Practice and Behaviour (KAPB) of Menstrual Cups was done. The sampled data received from various parts of the country, after exclusions, included 397 responses. The average age of the respondents was 24 years where most of them were students and were from urban dwelling. From the results, it was inferred that menstrual cups users were in favour with their experiences with 79% reporting menstrual cups to be comfortable and 82% of the users found menstrual cups to be cheaper compared to other menstrual products, 61% of the users reported menstrual cups to be easy to adapt. For monthly expenditure of sanitary products, menstrual cups were more cost efficient as users spent an average of Rs 0-100 in comparison to other Sanitary Products where users spent an average of Rs 100-300. Disposable Sanitary pads was the most used sanitary product by non-menstrual cup users. 29.6% of the respondents are willing to switch to menstrual cups and 45.4% of the respondents are not sure if they want to switch to menstrual cups. The reasons for non-usage of menstrual cups was mostly comfort (32%), limited knowledge (25%) and accessibility (15%). Homemakers scored high on Practice and Behaviour questions while Business women scored high on Knowledge and Aptitude questions. Both users and non-users recommended conducting awareness drives in the form of seminars focusing on clarifying myths and taboos related to menstrual cups. A change in favor of menstrual cups could be made possible by targeted pricing and advertising
Geology of Dhangarhi-Dandeldhura road section and its regional significance
Authors: Bashyal R. P.
Published: April 2021

The present paper deals with the geological section of the Dhangarhi­ Dandeldhura Road in the far Western Nepal. The section, south to north, crosses the Gangetic plain, Siwaliks, and the Lesser Himalayan metasedimentary and crystalline rocks. Two tectonic units to the north of MBT, Budar Metasedimentary Complex and Dandeldhura Crystalline Complex, are recognized. The latter which is equivalent to the Almora Crystalline Nappe, is thrust over the Lesser Himalayan metasedimentary complex along the Goganpani Thrust and has been preserved in the synclinal structure. The Budar Complex comprising Budar quartzites and Rupaskanra Phyllites, is correlable to Nagthat quartzites (Krol Nappe?) and Ramgarh unit (Valdiya, 1980) or the Chail Nappe (Fuchs & Sinha, 1978) of the Kumaun Himalayas.
Landsat imageries in the study of planar surfaces and lineaments in Garhwal Himalaya, India
Authors: Prasad C. , Shandilya A. K. , Verma V. K.
Published: April 2021

Morphological features are identified and studied on the basis of the interpretations of landsat imageries  and  topographic  maps, aided  by  field checks in the study area comprising the drainage network of Alaknanda, Mandakini,  Bhilanganga  rivers in Garhwal  Himalaya.  Various planar   surface, and lineaments are delineated.

The studies show that the major lineaments oriented in NNE- SSW, E-W, NW-SE, ENE-WSW, NE- SW, and N-S directions are either fault zones or the zones of fracturing along the major fold axes. The major fault, zones like the Main Central Thrust, Alaknanda fault, Srinagar (North Almora) thrust and Garhwal thrust are represented by NW-SE and E-W trending lineaments, while Mandakini and Bhilanganga zones of fracturing are represented by the NNE-SSW and N-S lineaments.

Three distinct levels of planar surfaces have been identified. The summit and middle surfaces exhibit distinct variations in their mean altitudes when placed on the opposite sides of fault zones, which indicate some recent reactivation of these fault zones. On this basis, the Mandakini fracture zone appears to be a reactivated basement fault, which has not been identified so far.

Geology and structure of the Pokhara-Piuthan area, central Nepal
Authors: Arita Kazunori , Hayashi Daigoro , Yoshida Mitsuo
Published: April 2021

The geological mapping of the present area revealed that the area is a transitional area between central and western Nepal. The Kali Gandaki - Bari Gad fault which runs obliquely to the general Homalayan trend separates the present area lithostrato- tectonically into the northeast and soutewest units. Both units are in contrast each other in many respects. The northeast unit comprises the Tibetan Tethys, Himalayan gneiss, Main Central Thrust, Baglung and Bihadi zones. The last two are composed of the Midland meta- sediment Group of Riphean to Eocambrian age and autochthonous in character. The Himalayan gneisses are thrust over the Midland meta-sediments by the Main Central Thrust zone forming a klippe in the southwest unit. On the other hand the southwest unit consists mainly of slightly metamorphosed sediments probably of Paleozoic age which are folded and faulted as compared to those of the northeast unit. The metamorphic grade of the latter is obviously higher than the foemer.

The present area, particularly the Kali Gandaki. Bari Gad fault is of exteme significance in considering the tectonic flame of the Nepal Himalayas.

The area consists geologocally of six formations from the base upwards the Angaha Khola Formation, Ramdi Formation. Kokat formation, Kerabari formation, Charchare Formation and Tansen Formation. The lower four formations are considered to be lower to middle paleozoic and the upper two formations to be upper Mesozoic in age. These formations are distinct from the Midland meta- sediment Group to the north. The Tansen zone composed of these formations, as well as the Piuthan zone on the west, is a peculiar geologic unit of the Nepal Himalayas.

A photogrametric study on active faults in the Nepal Himalayas
Authors: Nakata Takashi
Published: April 2021

Active faults in the Nepal Himalayas are identified by means of interpretation of vertical aerial photographs. They are mainly distributed along the major tectonic lines as older geological faults and are classified into four groups, the Main Central Active Fault system, the active faults in the Lower Himalayas, the Main Boundary Active Fault system and active faults along the Himalayan Front Fault.

The mode of active faulting is closely related to the strikes of the faults. Along the NW-SE and NE-SW trending faults, lateral displacement with northward drop is prevailing, and right-lateral movement along the former and left-lateral movement along the latter is a rule in the sense of displacements. On the other hand, dip-slip faulting is observed mainly along the E-W trending faults belonging to the Main Boundary Active Fault system. However, apparent displacement along the faults is mostly of northward drop. It is considered that active faulting along the major tectonic lines except the Himalayan Front Fault does not favor the upheaval of the Himalayan ranges during the late Quaternary period.

Published: April 2021

The influence of the chosen method of anesthesia on cognitive functions in the postoperative period is investigated in the article. Cognitive status analysis was performed using neuropsychological testing: Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB), short-term mental status assessment scale (Mini-MentalStateExamination - MMSE). The evaluation was performed in 3 stages: on the eve of surgery, 7 days after it and on the 21st day of the postoperative period. Patients were divided into two groups: group k - patients received general anesthesia with narcotic analgesics and benzodiazepines in premedication for 40 minutes, maintenance of anesthesia - sevoflurano - oxygen mixture on a low gas stream. minutes before surgery. Estimation of the depth of analgesia was monitored using ANI (Analgesia Nociception Index, index of analgesia with nociceptive effect), evaluation of the depth of sedation - by BIS (Bispectral index, Bispectral index). Patients in both groups were statistically comparable by gender and age. Given the comparative analysis of changes in neuropsychological testing on the FAB scale, the average in the group using dexmedetomidine increased by 13.3% relative to baseline. After a comparative analysis of neuropsychological testing on the MMSE scale, the indicators in the group using dexmedetomid while in the group with the "classical" method of anesthesia, they did not change significantly. Based on the data obtained, it can be argued that the use of dexmedetomidine, as a component of multimodal analgesia, has a positive effect on the state of cognitive functions in the post-anesthetic period.

Authors: Mynka N. V.  , Kobelyatskyy Yu. Yu.
Published: April 2021

Despite the significant advances made by modern anesthesiology in the perioperative management of patients, surgical interventions are still accompanied by a high proportion of complications and even deaths. At the same time, it is known that in 50% of cases mortality and serious postoperative complications could be prevented. After performing a thorough study of the factors affecting the increase in hospitalization and postoperative recovery (Kehlet H., 1997; Kehlet H., Wilmore D., 2002), it was determined that the surgical stress response is the most significant inducer of dysfunction of various organs. and systems. To date, it has been established that general anesthesia in its classical sense does not allow achieving complete protection of the patient from surgical trauma. More complete protection can be achieved by combining general anesthesia with regional blockages and adjuvant drugs with stress-protective properties. In the present study, we compared the severity of the surgical stress response and pain syndrome in patients operated on under conditions of multicomponent balanced general anesthesia (group K) with patients who received a stress-limiting anesthesia regimen (group DB). In both groups, multicomponent anesthesia was performed, in group K, sibazone was used for sedation, in group DB, dexmedetomidine was used. Also, patients of the DB group underwent regional blockade (blockade of the pterygo-palatine fossa) before surgery. The main criteria for evaluating the results were: hemodynamic stability, blood glucose, the level of venous blood leukocytes and the severity of pain according to the VAS in the postoperative period. Both schemes made it possible to avoid pronounced fluctuations in hemodynamic and gas exchange parameters at all stages of the study. When analyzing blood glucose and leukocyte counts, it was found that patients in the control group had a more significant deviation of both indicators from the preoperative level than in the stress-limiting anesthesia group. In the study of pain syndrome, it was determined that in the control group the level of pain according to the VAS was higher at all stages of the study compared to patients in the group of stress-limiting anesthesia.

Authors: Boyko Igor , Sakharov Vladimir , Litvin Alexander
Published: April 2021

This paper presents the results of research of design solutions of multi-story building structures with the support of the extreme vertical load-bearing elements of the frame on the piles of the retaining wall. The research is performed on the basis of numerical modeling in three-dimensional formulation for the elements of the system «soil base - foundation - above-ground structures» at static loads. The analysis of the stress-strain state (SST) in the elements of the frame with such constructive solutions is carried out. Stresses of stress concentration in which irreversible deformations may occur at design loads have been identified.

It is established that despite the fact that due to the change of the structural scheme of the foundation it was possible to achieve a relative difference of subsidence close to the normative value and a significant reduction of bending moments in the grille, there remained zones in the floor slabs manifestations of irreversible deformations were predicted. Recommendations are given and changes to the constructive scheme of the house are offered which allow to provide safe design decisions for all term of operation of the house.

Another feature of the studied building is that the proposed design of foundations with piles of short length (6 m). With this solution, the zones of deformation under the height of the pile and the sole of the piles are closed and the deformations are determined by the size of the structure [1], and the piles only improve the soil properties in the upper part of the base due to its compaction. This solution allows you to achieve an economic effect by reducing the length of the piles, while ensuring the subsidence of the house within acceptable values.

Purpose - Blended learning is rapidly emerging as a domain for practice and research. Across disciplines and contexts, at individual instructor and institution levels, educators are experimenting with the blended learning model of instruction. The current generation of learners have been referred to as ‘digital natives’ in reflection of their apparent ease and familiarity with digital technology. However, questions remain about how ready students are for a blended learning model of instruction. The purpose of the study was to investigate students’ readiness for a blended learning model of instruction in a leading Malaysian higher education institution.
Methodology - The study employed a non-experimental quantitative research design. Data were gathered from a sample of 235 undergraduate and 131 postgraduate students using the Blended Learning Readiness Engagement Questionnaire (BLREQ). The data was analysed using the WINSTEPS Rasch model measurement software to determine the validity and reliability of the instrument. Differential Item Functioning (DIF) analysis was also used to identify responses based on students’ demographic profiles.

Findings - Findings identified that students were ready for blended learning. Further analysis indicated that there were differences in students’ readiness for blended learning based on gender, age, ethnicity, field of study, and level of education.

Significance - This study provides insights on students’ readiness towards blended learning, particularly in the Malaysian context, discusses implications for blended learning practices in higher education institutions, and offers recommendations for future research.

Parentification refers to parent-child role reversal wherein the child adopts the parent's role instrumentally or emotionally. This role reversal practice between the parent and the child is not uncommon in certain cultures. The cultural dynamics and familial obligations at play have positive and negative outlooks with varying effects. This study focused on the effects of instrumental parentification experiences on psychological resilience and interpersonal relationships among selected Filipino young professional daughters during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Using purposive sampling, 19 Filipino young professional daughters from Metro Manila, Philippines, were selected for the study. Online interviews were conducted and thematic analysis was employed to process the data. Findings showed that most of the daughters, with “utang na loob” (indebtedness) value system, wholeheartedly accepted instrumental parentification. Thus, more tasks and responsibilities were shouldered by them due to the COVID-19 lockdown wherein older parents need to stay at home due to the fear of contracting the disease. Almost all shared that the COVID-19 pandemic tested their parent-child relationship. A few expressed that it made them let go of personal growth opportunities and experienced problems with their parents' relationship, given the uncertainties brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, they shared that they could not leave their ageing parents in this time of COVID-19 pandemic and that with proper balancing of tasks and responsibilities at home and at work, parentification made them to become more self-reliant, mature faster, and responsible daughters.
