Selayang Pandang Harmonisasi Spiritual Sufi Dalam Psikologi Agama
Authors: Saliyo Saliyo
Published: April 2019

Agama berkaitan dengan perilaku manusia yang bersifat formal dilakukan secara bersama dan doktrin yang bersifat umum. Sisi lain spiritual berkaitan dengan perilaku yang unik, personal dan non formal. Terkadang sulit membedakan antara agama dan spiritual. Terkadang spiritual menjadi agama dalam agama. Bentuk spiritual dalam agama Islam adalah perilaku sufi. Sufi bagi penganutnya menjadi agama dalam agama. Sufi mengajarkan penganutnya untuk bisa bertemu dengan Tuhan. Itulah pesona yang selalu ditebarkan oleh orang-orang sufi. Diantara ajaran sufi yang dapat bertemu dengan Tuhan adalah ajaran sufi Jalaludin Rumi. Jalan cinta sufi Jalaludin Rumi, sufi tidak hanya melampaui dunia sekarang yang dialaminya. Cinta sufi menembus dunia masa depan yang hanya dijangkau melalui imajinasi sekarang. Menurut Rumi cinta tidak dapat diungkapkan lewat kata-kata saja. Cinta adalah pengalaman yang berada dalam seberang pemikiran. Cinta adalah pengalaman yang lebih nyata daripada dunia dan segala yang ada di dalamnya. llrnu psikologi menjelaskan bahwa cinta memiliki tiga komponen yaitu pengasuhan, kasih sayang, dan keakraban. Pengasuhan memiliki makna bimbingan dan tuntunan menuju jalan yang benar. Kasih sayang merupakan kebutuhan ingin bersama untuk mengadakan kontak fisik dan untuk memilikinya. Keakraban merupakan ikatan khusus saling pengertian tak terucapkan dari keduanya. Keakraban merupakan hal yang eksklusif yang melibatkan komunikasi yang hanya dimengerti oleh orang yang saling mencintai. Kesimpulannya agama sufi mengajarkan untuk cinta terhadap Tuhan. Seseorang yang mampu menembus derajat cinta terhadap Tuhan akan melahirkan kehidupan yang damai, tenang dengan penuh keharmonisan. Cinta melahirkan kebahagiaan, kebermaknaan dan kepuasan. Cinta melarang pertikaian, dan penistaan.

Published: April 2019

This study aimed to examine the correlation between career capital and worklife balance towards the employees of PT Petrokimia Gresik. The total sample was 102 official employees in the office of PT Petrokimia Gresik. Data were collected using simple random sampling technique; the career capital scale was based on Arthur and Inkson theory (2001), while the work-life balance scale was transadapted from Fisher's theory (2009). The itemtotal correlation coefficient was calculated using Product Moment Pearson and the reliability was examined using internal consistency technique. The result showed the Product Moment correlation (r) was 0,522 with p = 0,000, showing the positive linear correlation was at medium range between the two variables. This means, the higher the career capital of the employees, the higher their work-life balance. Otherwise, the lower career capital of the employees, the lower their work-life balance.

РЕЦЕПЦИЈА ИВАНА ФРАНКА У КЊИЖЕВНИМ ДЕЛИМА МИХАЈЛА КОВАЧА
Authors: Римар Симуновић Ана В.
Published: April 2019

У овом раду се анализира рецепција Ивана Франка у делима Михајла Ковача. Иван Франко (1856–1916) је класик украјинске књижевности, а Михајло Ковач (1909–2005) је русински писац који је своје књижевно дело формирао на традицији украјинских класика, али никад није био писац епигон. Пошто је опус оба писца веома обиман, а обојица су писала поезију, прозу и драму, у овом раду сам одабрала по једно дело из поезије, прозе и драме Ивана Франка и приказала рецепцију тих дела у делима Михајла Ковача.
СТАРО ВРЕМЕ, НОВО ВРЕМЕ И МИТСКО ВРЕМЕ У ПРИПОВЕЦИ „КИР ГЕРАС” СТЕАВАНА СРЕМЦА
Authors: Егановић Фата А.
Published: April 2019

Време (земан или вакат) у приповеци Стевана Сремца „Кир Герас” одвија се у три равни за које би се могло рећи да у себи носе извесне рефлексе народне књижевности, али и грчког мита. Те три равни су: митско време, старо време (које симболички представљају кир Наун и кир Герас) и ново време „пошљедње вријеме” (које представљају Герасова деца). У приповеци је евидентна конфронтација та два света, односно времена која доводи до смрти старог времена, и његовог васкрсавања у новом поретку кроз усаглашавање са њим. Под претпоставком да митско време, у овом случају, представља задату „космичку архепричу” о тој метаморфози света, према којој се ова друга времена усаглашавају, циљ је да се кроз пажљиво читање и анализу приповетке докаже и опише та „смена” кроз кризу старог времена сублимирану у судбини кир Гераса, односно начину на који он прихвата промену кроз лажну смрт и поновно рађање.
THE CITY, THE DESERT, THE ROAD: AMERICAN CHRONOTOPES IN DELILLO’S UNDERWORLD
Authors: Stamenković Slađana S.
Published: April 2019

In the contemporary discussion of the concept of space, there is a tendency to employ space to make a comment about the society that inhabits it. Regarding this and the prose of the contemporary American authors, the theory of Bakhtin’s chronotope may be one of the most legitimate ways to depict the society of contemporary America. In the fiction of Don DeLillo, one could discuss three typical American chronotopes: the city, the desert, and the road. The said chronotopes may be interpreted within the scopes of Bakhtin’s original chronotopes. They operate on both individual and mutually overlapping levels. In one way or the other, the American chronotopes mentioned seem to function as the ultimate Nowhere, space where the modern characters go to disappear in DeLillo’s prose.
Otras fuentes para el estudio de la enseñanza de la pronunciación española: las guías de conversación
Authors: García Aranda María Ángeles
Published: April 2019

Este artículo se ocupa del análisis de la enseñanza de la pronunciación española en seis guías de conversación y pronunciación publicadas a lo largo del siglo XIX, textos que fueron compuestos con el objetivo de enseñar deforma breve y con poco aparato teórico una segunda lengua de forma práctica y útil. Junto a gramáticas, diccionarios y ortografías, estas guías constituyen fuentes inestimables para la historia de la pronunciación española y para el estudio del componente fónico de nuestra lengua ya que suelen incluir o bien algunas líneas sobre la articulación española o bien la pronunciación figurada de vocabularios y diálogos (otro de los contenidos frecuentes en estos manuales).

Los acortamientos en el castellano de Madrid: una aproximación desde la Teoría de la Optimidad
Authors: Estrada Hernández Juan Bernardo
Published: April 2019

El truncamiento de nombres comunes y propios en Madrid ha sido visto como un fenómeno restrictivo. Se ha considerado que en dicha ciudad sólo se forman los hipocorísticos a partir de las dos primeras sílabas del nombre base; sin embargo, en mi trabajo he encontrado que, a pesar de ser una tendencia actual, no es la única forma de crear acortamientos en Madrid. Por medio de la Teoría de la Optimidad, pretendo mostrar cuáles son las restricciones que operan en el español madrileño para truncar nombres, además, propongo algunas otras restricciones presentes en la diversidad de mecanismos utilizados en la creación de acortamientos en el español de la capital española.

Authors: Wolf Zane Robinson , Donohue-Smith Maureen , Wolf Kerrin C.
Published: April 2019

Nursing staff have been tried and convicted of murdering patients. This qualitative study described attributes of nurses who killed patients in healthcare institutions and characteristics of murder events. Data sources included news reports, books, and court records. Results revealed personality and behavioral indicators manifested by nurses who murdered or were accused of murdering patients, and details of murder events. Registered nurses were accused and convicted of murder most frequently; male nursing staff were disproportionately represented. Old and acutely ill patients were frequent victims and poisoning with medications, the usual murder method. Power/dominance ranked as the most frequent motive.
Emancipatory Praxis for Cervical Cancer Health Equity in Guatemala
Authors: Driscoll Susan D. , Goodman Rhonda
Published: April 2019

This study explores barriers and facilitators to cervical cancer screening among indigenous Maya women in Guatemala. Eight weeks of observation, active participation, informal interviews, and semistructured interviews with community organizers were analyzed using Leininger's 4-phase process to elucidate five themes: fear/shame, “machismo,” education/experience, cost, and self-love. Results suggest sustainable cervical cancer screening may be possible through cultural humility, collaboration, balance of power, and emancipatory praxis. Practicing these concepts may help to build knowledge and trust between providers and community, thereby lessening oppression, empowering women, and reducing cervical cancer health disparities and disease burden among Guatemalan Maya women.
Congruence Between Nurses' Caring Behaviors and Patients' Perceptions of Being Cared for During Disaster Responses
Authors: Burgos Grace
Published: April 2019

Caring has been defined as a benevolent act, human trait, and moral necessity. This paper explores the caring concept from perspectives of nurses and patients receiving care. A case is made for nurses' caring behaviors and patients' perceptions of how they ought to be cared to be congruent. Theorists' formulations and studies on nurse caring and disasters are reviewed. The caring moment goes beyond clinical settings; it can be experienced during natural disasters. A narrative of the author's caring during a disaster response is described, together with a generated disaster response model inspired by nurse theorists and philosophers' viewpoints on caring phenomena.
EVALUATION OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL QUALITY OF SNACKS EXTRUDED FROM BROKEN GRAINS OF RICE AND MECHANICALLY SEPARATED TILAPIA MEAT FLOUR
Authors: MAGALHÃES Amanda Oliveira , MÁRSICO Eliane Teixeira , SOARES JÚNIOR Manoel Soares , MONTEIRO Maria Lúcia Guerra
Published: April 2019

The objective of this study was to evaluate the technological vulnerability of snacks extruded from broken rice grains (BRG) and mechanically separated tilapia meat flour (MSMF) and to characterize the best formulation from a technological point of view. Five snack formulations were elaborated with different levels of MSMF (0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%) replacing the BRG. The snacks were evaluated in relation to expansion index, specific volume, hardness, instrumental color parameters, water activity (Aw) and scanning electron microscopy to identify the maximum substitution level of BRG by MSMF that did not compromise the technological quality of the product. Aw was similar (p>0.05) in all formulations. Replacement of MSMF by BRG influenced (p<0.05) expansion index, specific volume, hardness, and L*, a* and b* values. However, the replacement of 30% of BRG by MSMF did not compromise the technological quality of the extruded snacks. In addition, this formulation presented high nutritional value, acceptance and purchase intention and could therefore be used as an industrial strategy to meet current consumer demand for nutritious foods and stimulate fish consumption.
CAPTURE OF ANEMONES AND POLYCHAETES IN ARTIFICIAL COLLECTORS FOR ORNAMENTAL PURPOSES, EFFECTS OF: DEPTH, DEPLOYMENT PERIOD, AND TIME OF IMMERSION
Authors: CARVALHO Leina Moura Carneiro , TURRA Alexander , ALVES Jose Luis , MARQUES Helcio Luis de Almeida
Published: April 2019

This research aimed to test the catching of ornamental invertebrates in artificial collectors, comparing different types of collectors (vertical and horizontal), deployment period (seasons) and time of immersion (1 to 8 months). The experiments were carried out in an area of mussel farming in Caraguatatuba, southeastern Brazil. Collectors were made of braided nets, measuring 1 m (horizontal) and 2 m long (vertical). Batches of 32 collectors were deployed into the sea at Winter and Spring 2011 and Summer and Autumn 2012. Half of collectors were positioned horizontally at the surface of the sea and the others were positioned vertically, both tied to a floating structure 50 m long. Monthly, two vertical and two horizontal collectors were removed from each batch and examined for detecting ornamentals. Two species were caught: the anemone Bunodosoma caissarumm and the polychaete Branchiomma luctuosum. Occurrence of anemones was significantly higher in horizontal collectors and lower in collectors deployed during summer. Occurrence was also higher after two to five months of immersion. Polychaete occurrence was significantly higher in vertical collectors deployed during Autumn, being higher after seven months of immersion. We concluded that the system was technically feasible, but an economical evaluation must be done in further studies.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate different lipid sources in diets for silver catfish juveniles regarding aspects of productive performance, centesimal composition, hepatic histology, biochemical responses, and oxidative stress. A total of 300 juveniles with an initial mean weight of 18.45 Â± 1.22g were distributed in 20 net-pens of 1m3, arranged in a 200 m2 masonry tank, for a period of 90 days. The experimental diets were isoprotein (29.05% digestible protein) and isoenergetic (3,250 kcal.kg-1), containing different sources of oils (soybean, sunflower, fish, canola and olive) at a concentration of 3.0%. The animals were distributed in a completely randomized design, with five treatments and four replicates. The data were submitted to ANOVA, and the means, when significant, were compared by the Tukey test at 5% significance level. Visceral fat index was higher for fish fed diets containing sunflower oil (P<0.05). No differences (P>0.05) were observed for the variables of productive performance, centesimal composition, and blood biochemistry. A difference (P<0.05) was observed in hepatic histology, where the treatment with soybean oil had a higher number of hepatocytes. The animals fed with fish oil had a higher TBARS lipid peroxidation and a higher GST enzyme activity (P<0.05). Therefore, the different lipid sources can be used to feed this species without any damage to productive performance. It is not advisable to include sunflower oil, as it provides greater deposition of visceral fat.
Neoechinorhynchus buttnerae PARASITIC INFECTION IN TAMBAQUI (Colossoma macropomum) ON FISH FARMS IN THE STATE OF AMAZONAS

Published: April 2019

The record of occurrence of acanthocephalan parasites on tambaqui farms in Northern Brazil has increased in recent years along with reports of associated economic losses, justifying further epidemiological studies of this parasite. As such, this study evaluated the occurrence of the acanthocephalan Neoechinorhynchus buttnerae and the parasite-host relationship in tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) from three fish farms in the Amazonian town of Rio Preto da Eva, Brazil. Fish from the farms (N = 18 per farm) were collected for parasitological examination, determination of the relative condition factor and correlation tests between the parameters assessed. Of the fish examined, 37 were parasitized with N. buttnerae (68.5% prevalence), with intensity of infection variation ranging from 1 to 1,219 specimens per fish (12,279 specimens counted). In two farms was detected the high mean intensity of infection, 230.8 and 451.3 parasites per fish, with a total count of 4,155 and 8,123 parasites, respectively, whereas the third farm had a single fish infected with only one specimen. The weight-length ratio equation indicated that the fish were growing at the same rate in weight and length. It was observed significant correlation between parasite intensity and fish length, as well as significant negative correlation with parasite intensity and condition factor. The gastrointestinal tract contained ostracod invertebrates, which are intermediate N. buttnerae hosts. The high N. buttnerae intensity affect their physiological condition as suggested by the negative correlation between parasitic intensity and condition factor, emphasizing the need to implement suitable prophylactic measures to prevent infection by the parasite.
Пространственное распределение ихтиопланктона у Крымского полуострова в летний сезон 2013 г.
Authors: Климова Т. Н. , Субботин А. А. , Мельников В. В. , Серебренников А. Н. , Подрезова П. С.
Published: April 2019

Проанализированы данные, полученные в пяти комплексных экспедициях НИС «Профессор Водяницкий», которые были проведены с мая по сентябрь 2013 г., в летний нерестовый сезон. Представлена динамика видового разнообразия и пространственного распределения ихтиопланктона в связи с особенностями гидрологического режима в различных районах шельфовых и открытых вод Чёрного моря у Крымского полуострова. В ихтиопланктоне идентифицированы 17 видов икринок и личинок рыб из 13 семейств. Количество видов в ихтиопланктоне было максимальным в июне. Средняя численность икринок и личинок за нерестовый сезон составляла 50,5 и 9,2 экз.·м-2 соответственно. Наибольшая численность икринок (109,9 экз.·м-2) и личинок (9,2 экз.·м-2) наблюдалась в июле. Преобладали икринки и личинки хамсы Engraulis encrasicolus (Linnaeus, 1758): их доля в открытых водах в разгар нерестового сезона достигала 96 и 94 % соответственно. Максимальные показатели индексов видового разнообразия и выровненности (значимости каждого вида) наблюдались в мае, когда доминантные виды только начинали нерест и их численность в ихтиопланктоне была сравнительно низкой. Индексы видового богатства достигали наибольших величин в июне, когда количество видов в ихтиопланктоне было максимальным. Видовой состав и пространственное распределение ихтиопланктона зависели от термогидродинамической структуры морских вод в районах исследований, а выживанию личинок рыб способствовало снижение прессинга желетелого планктона на их кормовую базу. Наиболее значимыми факторами, определяющими термогидродинамическую структуру моря в летний нерестовый сезон 2013 г., являлись: региональные особенности режима прогрева поверхности моря в весенне-летний период и его выхолаживания в осенний гидрологический сезон; адвективный вклад поверхностных течений (прежде всего Основного черноморского течения); сгонно-нагонные процессы в прибрежных районах; локальные термохалинные неоднородности в областях смешения распреснённых речных вод с шельфовыми в северо-западной части моря и азовоморских вод в Керченском предпроливье — с водами открытого моря.
Isolated Leptomeningeal Enhancement in Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate Receptor Encephalitis: A case report
Authors: Niu Peng-Peng , Song Bo , Xu Yu-Ming
Published: April 2019

Background

Magnetic resonance imaging findings of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (anti-NMDA) receptor encephalitis have been reported to lack specificity. The hippocampus, frontal lobe, white matter, basal ganglia, and even spinal cord can be involved. However, isolated leptomeningeal enhancement is rare in anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis.

Case presentation

We report a 17-year-old boy who presented with a 2-week history of mild fever and progressive encephalopathy with behavioral and psychological abnormalities. Finally, a diagnosis of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis was made. Initial magnetic resonance imaging results revealed diffuse contrast enhancement of the leptomeninges without parenchymal lesions. After treatment with high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone, plasma exchange, and intravenous immunoglobulin, the enhancement showed substantially decrease at the 3-week follow-up.

Conclusions

This case is unusual because isolated leptomeningeal enhancement is rare in anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. The present case suggests that isolated diffuse leptomeningeal enhancement could be one of the imaging findings in patients with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis.
A national survey of videolaryngoscopy in Hungary
Authors: Nagy Balint
Published: April 2019

Background

Videolaryngoscopy (VL) as a new airway management technique has evolved in recent decades, and a large number of videolaryngoscopes are now available on the market. Most recent major guidelines already recommend the immediate availability and use of VL in difficult airway management scenarios. However, national data on the availability of VL, introduction into practice and patterns of use are rarely published. Therefore, the current study aimed to provide data on VL in Hungary.

Methods

An electronic survey was designed and popularized with the help of the Hungarian Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy to explore the availability, use, and practice of and attitudes toward VL among Hungarian anesthesiologists. The survey was conducted in 2018 and ended on 31.12.2018.

Results

In total, 324 forms were returned and analyzed. Responders were mainly males (58%), specialists (80%) and those involved in anesthesia (68%) in the public sector. Two hundred and ten (65%) responders had access to various videolaryngoscopes and were mainly from surgery, intensive care and traumatology units. No responders reported the availability of eight videolaryngoscopes out of the eighteen listed devices, and 32% of the responders had never used any videolaryngoscope in clinical settings. The most commonly available devices were KingVision, MacGrath Mac and Airtraq. Most of the responders reported using videolaryngoscopes mainly for difficult airway management and reported using a fiberscope as the first alternative device. Popular methods for selecting videolaryngoscopes included the following: short clinical trial (n=67/324), decision of the departmental lead (n=65/324) and price (n=54/324). The majority of responders had some training prior to clinical application, but training was mainly voluntary. Overall, 98% of the responders considered videolaryngoscopes beneficial.

Conclusions

Approximately two-thirds of Hungarian anesthesiologists have immediate access to videolaryngoscopes, which are used mainly for difficult airway management. The overall attitude towards VL is positive, and many videolaryngoscopes are known and have been used by Hungarian anesthesiologists. However, only a few devices on the market are used commonly. Based on the results, further improvement might be recommended regarding VL training and availability.

The history of CGIAR and the development and implementation of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (“Plant Treaty”) are closely intertwined. In accordance with the agreements that 11 CGIAR centers signed with the Plant Treaty's Governing Body under Article 15 of the treaty, >730,000 accessions of crop, tree, and forage germplasm conserved in CGIAR genebanks are made available under the terms and conditions of the multilateral system of access and benefit sharing, and the CGIAR centers have transferred almost 4 million samples of plant genetic resources under the system. Many activities of CGIAR centers and their genebanks (e.g., crop enhancement, improved agronomic methods, seed system strengthening, and capacity building) are influenced by, and promote, the Plant Treaty's objectives. The continued existence and optimal functioning of the Plant Treaty's multilateral system of access and benefit sharing is critically important to CGIAR in the pursuit of its mission. However, the multilateral system has encountered some challenges since the Plant Treaty came into force. The successful conclusion of the ongoing process for enhancing the functioning of the multilateral system could increase monetary benefit sharing and incentives for exchanging more germplasm. In the meantime, increased efforts are necessary to promote nonmonetary benefit sharing through partnerships, technology transfer, information exchange, and capacity building. These efforts should be integrated into countries’ and organizations’ work to implement the Plant Treaty's provisions on conservation and sustainable use of plant genetic resources, and farmers’ rights.
System for Preparing and Applying 15N‐Labeled Anhydrous Ammonia in Field Plot Research
Authors: Griesheim K.L. , Mulvaney R.L. , Smith T.J.
Published: April 2019

Core Ideas

A manifold is described for preparing kilogram quantities of 15NH3.

The 15NH3 is condensed into a collection tank that allows the use of a nitrification inhibitor.

The collection tank connects to a tractor‐mounted toolbar for knifed applications to field plots.

Although direct application of anhydrous ammonia (NH3) is a common practice for Midwestern corn (Zea mays L.) production in the USA, field studies utilizing 15N to quantify nitrogen (N) uptake efficiency have long been impeded by the difficulties and safety hazards inherent to a liquified gas that must be handled and applied under pressure. A manifold system is described for transferring known quantities of NH3 from labeled and unlabeled sources to obtain a desired 15N enrichment, and for collecting the mixture cryogenically in a tank specifically configured for knifed applications using a tractor‐mounted tool bar. Enrichments of 1.2 to 1.5 atom% 15N were obtained for 3 kg of NH3 prepared within a normal working day by a 15‐fold dilution with 10 atom% 15N as the starting label. A collection capacity of such magnitude represents a 3000% upscaling over systems previously described for this purpose, providing an essential prerequisite for field plot research to realistically assess the fate and fertilizer value of anhydrous NH3.

The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients hospitalized in the therapeutic and cardiology departments of the St. Petersburg hospital, and to analyze the prevalence of the number of components of the metabolic syndrome (MS) in patients with AF and anticoagulant therapy (ACT) assigned to outpatient stage to hospitalization. A retrospective analysis of 1760 case histories of patients hospitalized in the therapeutic and cardiology departments of the Therapy Clinic of the Faculty of Pavlov State Medical University named after IP Pavlov for 2017 was performed. It was established that AF was found in 16.5% (286) patients hospitalized in 2017. Among the causes of AF in patients, the number of components of MS was analyzed: 0 – 2.1% (6), 1 – 4.5% (13), 2 – 19.2% (55), 3 – 34.3% (98), 4 – 31.5% (90), 5 – 8.4% (24), thus MS with 3 or more components installed in 74.1% (212) surveyed in 2017. 58.7% (168) received ACT at the time of hospitalization, and 41.3% did not receive it (118). In 32,9% of patients with AF did not receive anticoagulant therapy at the prehospital stage, with no contraindications for administration. Among patients receiving ACT at the time of hospitalization, direct oral anticoagulants were prescribed 2 times more often than warfarin (69% and 31%, р = 0,01).
Bias correction of daily precipitation over South Korea from the long-term reanalysis using a composite Gamma-Pareto distribution approach
Authors: Kim Dong-Ik , Kwon Hyun-Han , Han Dawei
Published: April 2019

Long-term precipitation data plays an important role in climate impact studies, but the observation for a given catchment is very limited. To significantly expand our sample size for the extreme rainfall analysis, we considered ERA-20c, a century-long reanalysis daily precipitation provided by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Preliminary studies have already indicated that ERA-20c can reproduce the mean reasonably well, but rainfall intensity is underestimated while wet-day frequency is overestimated. Thus, we first adopted a relatively simple approach to adjust the frequency of wet-days by imposing an optimal threshold. Moreover, we introduced a quantile mapping approach based on a composite distribution of a generalized Pareto distribution for the upper tail (e.g. 95th and 99th percentile), and a gamma distribution for the interior part of the distribution. The proposed composite distributions provide a significant reduction of the biases over the conventional method for the extremes. We suggested an interpolation method for the set of parameters of bias correction approach in ungauged catchments. A comparison of the corrected precipitation using spatially interpolated parameters shows that the proposed modelling scheme, particularly with the 99th percentile, can reliably reduce the systematic bias.

This study aimed to estimate the annual probability of Giardia and Cryptosporidium infection for a population supplied by contaminated drinking water sources. Parasites were quantified by the USEPA Method 1623.1/2012. Annual risk was estimated using the quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) approach. Genotyping was performed using specific primers based on the 18S rRNA gene for Cryptosporidium and gdh gene for Giardia. Giardia was detected in 83.3% of the samples (<0.1 to 8.6 cysts/L) and Cryptosporidium in 37.5% (<0.1 to 2 oocysts/L). In general, annual risk values for Giardia were 1 log higher when compared with those obtained for Cryptosporidium. Giardia intestinalis A and B were present as well as C. hominis and C. parvum. The lack of protection measures for the water supply catchment point put the population's health at risk. The results provide data to support decision-makers to take actions to improve environmental quality resulting in a positive impact on consumers' health.

There are the results of experimental and theoretical studies on the propagation of weak shock waves in the wet sand at different water saturation. There are mathematical model and numerical analysis of propagation of pressure pulses in porous media, taking into account capillary forces. Non-monotonic dependence of the amplitude of the wave resulting in a wet porous medium vs. the degree of water saturation is installed. The evolution of the fast, slow and filtration waves depends on the saturation of the system with water is analyzed. The influence of capillary forces on the propagation of longitudinal waves is evaluated.

Authors: Bogdanov R.M. , Lukin S.V.
Published: April 2019

Latterly, oil and gas pipelines are laid not on the bottom of the reservoir, but in wells under the reservoir, for which the inclined and horizontal drilling is carried out. At the same time, failures occur in the design of the drillstring bottom. The theory of horizontal drilling has not been developed yet. The solution is given to the problem of internal forces determining in a drillstring for inclined and horizontal drilling and their change as a result of interaction with the ground.

Analysis on Public’s Response Toward Bus Reform Policy in Indonesia Considering Latent Variables
Authors: Saleh Sofyan M. , Sugiarto Sugiarto , Anggraini Renni
Published: April 2019

Background:

Public Transport (PT) is commonly recognized as a valid transport policy to reduce car and motorcycle users in many developing countries. In emerging countries such as Indonesia, a city like Banda Aceh has not run-away from the influences of impecunious public transportation services such as insufficient quality of services. The need for public transport reforms in achieving efficiency and sufficiency is under consideration by the Government as a way to mitigate severe private mode dependency. Therefore, Stated Preference (SP) survey was conducted in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, where the so-called bus reform policy Trans Koetaradja runs under trial as a case study. This investigation looks at Banda Aceh citizens’ intentions to Trans Koetaradja bus reform policy in terms of the public approval.

Methods:

The questionnaires were distributed to the public within three lines of Trans Koetaradja. Utilizing psychometric data collected from SP survey, we construct four factors representing psychological determinants (i.e., appropriateness of the policy, private mode dependency, the consciousness of problem private mode in society, and inhibition of freedom of movements). Due to the characteristics of the methods for evaluating public’ intentions, we retain that this kind of unobserved variable analysis could be accomplished by applying multivariate latent variable modeling.

Aims:

This work aims to propose a Structural Equation Modeling of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (SEM-CFA) for analyzing the effects of citizens intents related to subjective an individuals’ indicators on the psychological factors that might abridge the judgments about numerous characteristics towards the bus reform policy.

Results:

The empirical findings show that some latent factors offer explanatory power for bus reform policy acceptance. Latent variables, including “perceived appropriateness of the policy” and “awareness of problem private mode in society” appear to be the most significant direct causes leading to the acknowledgment of the effect of the acceptance of the proposed policy.

Conclusion:

However, the effect of latent variables of “private mode dependency” and “inhibition of freedom of movement/less accessibility of the bus” reveals negative determinants to the acceptance of the policy.
An Enhanced Beam Model for the Analysis of Masonry Walls
Authors: Lucchesi Massimiliano , Pintucchi Barbara , Zani Nicola
Published: April 2019

Background:

Some typologies of masonry constructions (e.g. towers or walls with openings) can be reasonably studied through simple beam or frame-like models. For these structures, shear mechanisms often play an important role inducing failure and collapse.

Objective:

The paper presents an enriched beam model for studying the in-plane response of masonry walls. Initially formulated for masonry columns, towers and masonry slender structures in general, the model is now modified in order to also capture the shear failure mechanisms, in addition to the flexural ones.

Methods:

Starting with a one-dimensional no-tension model, a strength domain in the plane of the axial and tangential stress of the beam has been added, which has been defined by limiting both the stress shear component with respect to any possible direction and the main compressive stress.

Results:

The model, implemented in the FEM computational code MADY, allows for short computational times in studying the response of single panels as well as walls with openings.

Conclusion:

Comparisons with some experimental results from literature and some numerical results from more refined 2D models show the effectiveness and accuracy of the model’s predictions in terms of global and local response.
