The paper discusses the results of the ground-penetrating radar (GPR) survey carried out in February 2019 in the area of Thala Bay (Larsemann Hills, East Antarctica). Thala Bay is one of the strategic facilities of the Russian Antarctic Expedition (RAE) in the Progress station area as since 2019 heavy cargo has been unloaded here intended for the construction of new facilities at the Vostok station. Transportation of goods to the point of formation of logistic traverses takes place on ice tracks, whose safety must be evaluated taking into account the expanded system of crevasses. In addition, the current track is characterized by a significant slope of the terrain, which also complicates the relocation of heavy equipment.

In February 2019, a GPR survey was carried out within the Thala Bay area to assess the possibility of organizing an alternative section of the route within it. According to the visual observations, this area was characterized by an extensive system of crevasses, the width of which at the surface reached 20-30 cm, and the prevailing longitudinal direction coincided with the direction of the route. The task of the geophysical survey was to map the crevasses not identified by visual inspection and to determine their morphology. According to the GPR data, it was shown that the crevasses within the site are located to the firn layer and are characterized by an irregular shape, significantly expanding at the deeper levels and reaching a width of 6 m. The results of the survey are illustrated with the scheme of the firn thickness which shows location of the crevasses. According to the recommendations of the authors, the section of the glacier is suitable for operation provided the glaciological situation using the GPR method is monitored annualy.

Reasonable men: Sexual harassment and norms of conduct in social psychology
Authors: Young Jacy L , Hegarty Peter
Published: July 2019

Sexual harassment has received unprecedented attention in recent years. Withinacademia, it has a particularly reflexive relationship with the human sciences in which sexual harassment can be both an object of research and a problematic behaviour amongst those engaged in that research. This paper offers a partial history in which these two are brought together as a common object of social psychology’s culture of sexual harassment. Here we follow Haraway (1997) in using culture to capture the sense making that psychologists do through and to the side of their formal knowledge production practices. Our history is multi-sited and draws together (1) the use of sexual harassment as an experimental technique, (2) feminist activism and research which made sexual harassment an object of knowledge in social psychology, and (3) oral history accounts of sexual harassment amongst social psychologists. By reading these contexts against each other, we provide a thick description of how sexual harassment initiates women and men into cultures of control in experimental social psychology and highlight the ethical-epistemological dilemma inherent in disciplinary practices.
The spatialization of Islamist, populist, and neo-Ottoman discourses in the Turkish capital under AKP rule
Authors: Ghulyan Husik
Published: July 2019

This article discusses the recent politics of space in Turkey during the rule of the Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, AKP) through a focus on the capital city of Ankara. In order to analyze the recent politics of space in Turkey, the article elaborates upon the recent politics of toponym changes and the discourse over space and place in the Turkish capital. Particular attention is paid to the spatialization of neo-Ottoman, Islamist, and populist discourses and to the production of various representational and counter-representational spaces. One of the key foci of the article is its elaboration on the new Presidential Complex (Cumhurbaşkanlığı Külliyesi) as a case that, in its representational and conceptual aspects, reflects the spatialization of Islamist and populist discourses and symbolizes the recent transformations of social space and the emergent sociospatial order in Turkey.
Transdisciplinarni pristup u razmatranju odnosa znanost — teologija
Authors: Cerovac Krešimir
Published: July 2019

There are many reasons why a partnership dialogue between theology (religion) and the natural sciences is needed. However, first and foremost this must be a conversation between one human being and another regarding the most important of human interests. The most effective way to approach complex issues and problems in the dialogue between theology and science is the transdisciplinary approach. Transdisciplinarity can solve prob lems which cannot be resolved by separate attempts. This approach can connect different modes of thought, that is, thought beginning with different points of view on the material world or religion. The transdisciplinary approach takes on the role of mediator, which demands at the “round table” that which unites human beings on a universal human level. This is a new, challenging and demanding approach which requires researchers to leave their own field of interest and strive to learn about other fields. The transdisciplinary approach, as “critical rationality” and a new way of thinking, opposed to classical and reductive rationalism, emphasizing objectivity, is based on controlled conflict–induced paradoxes. Transdisciplinarity creates a new quality — which is not an arithmetic sum of individual disciplines — and enables articulation, i.e. a link between two, at first glance, controversial disciplinary modes of thought.

INFLUENCE OF THE SYSTEM OF PRODUCTION AND INJECTION WELLS AREAL PLACING WHILE INJECTING NITROGEN INTO THE DEPLETED GAS RESERVOIR ON THE GAS RECOVERY RATIO
Authors: Kondrat R. M. , Khaidarova L. I.
Published: July 2019

The results of experimental and theoretical studies of the displacement of residual natural gas from the depleted gas deposits by non-hydrocarbon gases are analyzed, and the use of nitrogen as a displacing agent is substantiated. The authors present results of computer studies of areal injection of nitrogen into a hypothetical depleted gas reservoir at 4-, 5-, 7- and 9-point well placing systems in the gas-bearing area and the distance of 500, 750, 1000 and 1250 m from the central injection well to peripheral production wells.
The article designates the significant influence of the well placing system in the gas-bearing area and thedistance between the injection and production wells on the gas recovery ratio as to residual gas and on the duration of the further reservoir development period until the moment when nitrogen breaks through into production wellsand the nitrogen content in the formation product is 5 % vol. The research has got a wide range of changes in their values (from 6.92 to 56.44 % for the gas recovery ratio at the time of nitrogen breakthrough into production wells, from 4 to 49 months for the duration of the additional reservoir production process). It gives possibilities to optimize the system of production and injection wells placing in the gas-bearing area, taking into account the technological and techno-economic indicators of further reservoir development. The results are recommended to use when designing the areal injection of nitrogen for a real depleted gas reservoir.

Published: July 2019

Introduction: The skull’s main function is to protect the brain. Total skull bone thickness is the total thickness of diploe and the external and internal tables. The measurement of the human skull based on CT images results are of great practical value in the fields of anatomy, clinical medicine, biomechanics study and head injury analysis. There are few literatures about imaging assisted measurement of the cranial vault thickness while sparse literature among Nepalese population. In this study, we aim to measure the thickness of Nepalese calvarian bones and find the difference between gender and ethnic groups.Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in our center during a period of 6 months. Patient of age 15 to 50 years with normal CT finding were included in the study. Using the axial view of brain CT, the thickness of cranial vault was measured and recorded in millimeter. Results: Among 100 patients, 51 were male and 49 were female. Mean thickness of frontal bone, parietal, temporal and occipital bone were 8.02±1.97 mm, 7.04±1.43 mm, 4.71±1.34 mm and 7.98±2.47 mm respectively. Conclusions: There was no significant difference in cranial vault thickness among sex or ethnical groups in patients of a hospital.

Published: July 2019

Introduction: Preoperative differentiation of benign, atypical and malignant meningiomas would significantly help in surgical planning and treatment. The aim of this study is to look at radio- morphologic behavior of various histopathological types and grades of meningiomas and their diffusion characteristics.Methods: We performed an analytical cross-sectional study including all patients operated on for meningiomas at our hospital during January 2016 to July 2018. We studied 38 meningiomas in 38 patients aged 14 to 73 years old. All patients underwent MRI prior to surgery, including diffusion- weighted sequences, in a 1.5T scanner. Signal intensity in T2-weighted images, diffusion-weighted images (b=0, 90 and 1,000), and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient maps within the tumors and in the normal parietal white matter as a reference were evaluated. Results: There was female predilection with male:female ratio of 1:2.4. Most meningiomas were supratentorial with most common origin being parafalcine and convexity. Of the 38 meningiomas, 31 were WHO grade I, 6 were WHO grade II (apalstic) and one was WHO grade III (anaplastic). Similarly, tumors showing pial invasion, breached tumor-brain interface, no capsular enhancement and parenchyma invasion showed significantly low NADC. Mean ADC value was 0.722±7.7x10-3 mm2/s (normalized ADC 0.9±0.1) in the atypical group and 0.876±24.56x10-3 mm2/s (normalized ADC 1.11±0.31) in the typical group. No statistically significant differences of ADC/NADC were found between histologic subtypes. Two subtypes of typical meningiomas, metaplastic and angiomatous meningioma had the highest values in the ADC maps.Conclusions: MR morphology like pial invasion, breached tumors brain interface, parenchymal invasion can predict aggressiveness and atypical nature of meningiomas. Meningioma shows moderately restricted diffusion. The signal on the ADC map is associated with tumors cellularity and aggressiveness suggesting its usefulness for predicting the histological grade.

Keywords: apparent diffusion coefficient; atypical; histopathology; meningioma; MR morphology.

Introduction: Exposure to dusts and hard physical work is common in developing industrialized countries. Acute and chronic respiratory illnesses are highly been reported from jute and textile industry. This study was undertaken to explore status of respiratory health among the workers of jute and textile industries.Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study enrolled 315 workers from each of textile and jute industry of Eastern Nepal. Almost all the workers were selected from the textile industry whereas those from dust prone areas of jute industry. Workers were interviewed using pre-tested questionnaires. Measurement of height, weight and peak expiratory flow rate was done. Results: Majority were non-smokers in both the industries 230 (73%) in Jute vs. 223 (70.8%) in Textile. Most of the workers had the working experience of less than five years; jute 134 (42.5%) vs. textile 180 (57.1%). Upper respiratory disorder was found in more than 1/5 of workers (68) in jute vs. 1/20 of workers (18) in textile industry. One and two workers suffered from chronic bronchitis in the jute and the textile industry respectively. Chest tightness was reported among 4 (1.3%) in jute vs. 17 (5.4%) in textile workers, cough symptoms among 86 (27.3%) in jute vs. 26 (8.3%) in textile industry. Low practice of personal protective measure was seen in both industries. The mean score of PEFR of workers in jute mill was lower than the workers in textile industry.Conclusions: Workers with acute respiratory disorders were more in the jute industry while chest tightness was more in the textile industry. Chronic respiratory problems did not appear to be alarming in both the industries. Use of personal protective measures should be promoted among the dust exposed workers.

Key Words: dust exposure; peak expiratory flow rate; respiratory disorder.

Introduction: Racial variation, genetic inheritance and various other factors can affect the jaw size and ultimately the tooth size and number. Studies for agenesis of mandibular third molars (M3s) have been carried out in various populations but data relating to these are not evident from most of the parts of Nepal. Hence, the objective of the present study is to determine the prevalence of agenesis among the population of patients visiting the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology of this institute. The study also sought the odds of agenesis of M3 in one side when there was missing M3 on the other side of the mandible.

Methods: This study was conducted after the approval from Institutional Review Committee of BPKIHS. Two hundred and eighty four patients (568 sites of M3, bilaterally), visiting the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology were studied with Panoramic Radiograph to assess for agenesis of mandibular third molars, bilaterally. Percentage of agenesis was calculated and chi square test was applied where relevant. Odds ratio was also calculated.

Results: Agenesis was seen in 28.7% of the participants. The Odds of M3 being missing on one side with concurrent missing M3 on the other side was 40.27 (Confidence Interval 19.34 to 83.87).

Conclusions: Agenesis was highly prevalent in this study group. The likelihood of M3 being absent on one side, when there was concurrent missing M3 on the other side of mandible was also high.

Authors: Mirabal Jorge Rivera , Taylor John A. , Lerner Seth P.
Published: July 2019

Purpose of the review:

To review the most recent literature with regards to the pathogenesis, diagnostics, clinical implications and treatment strategies for Carcinoma in Situ (CIS) of the Bladder.

Recent findings:

There have been advancements in understanding the genetic composition and biochemical behavior of CIS. Technological advancements including Photodynamic Diagnosis (PDD) with Hexaminolevulinate (HVA) better detect CIS compared to traditional white light (WL) cystoscopy. Recently published single and multi-center studies have enabled better understanding of the impact of CIS on clinical and cancer related outcomes, including disease recurrence and patient survival. Alternative intravesical chemotherapeutic and immunotherapies for CIS have been investigated, especially in the setting of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) unresponsive disease. While these demonstrate a great deal of promise, they have not garnered much success.

The genetics of CIS is linked to aggressive, and at times resistant disease, with increased cancer progression and associated clinically worse cancer specific outcomes. New technologies have enabled a more effective diagnosis of CIS. The development of a standardized definition for clinical trials and greater disease understanding will enable us to develop better treatment options.
Universal (and Existential) Nulls
Authors: Grahne Gösta , Moallemi Ali
Published: July 2019

Incomplete Information research is quite mature when it comes to so called existential nulls, where an existential null is a value stored in the database, representing an unknown object. For some reason universal nulls, that is, values representing all possible objects, have received almost no attention. We remedy the situation in this paper, by showing that a suitable finite representation mechanism, called Star Cylinders, handling universal nulls can be developed based on the Cylindric Set Algebra of Henkin, Monk and Tarski. We provide a finitary version of the cylindric set algebra, called Cylindric Star Algebra, and show that our star-cylinders are closed under this algebra. Moreover, we show that any First Order Relational Calculus query over databases containing universal nulls can be translated into an equivalent expression in our cylindric star-algebra, and vice versa. All cylindric star-algebra expressions can be evaluated in time polynomial in the size of the database.

The representation mechanism is then extended to Naive Star Cylinders, which are star-cylinders allowing existential nulls in addition to universal nulls. For positive queries (with universal quantification), the well known naive evaluation technique can still be applied on the existential nulls, thereby allowing polynomial time evaluation of certain answers on databases containing both universal and existential nulls. If precise answers are required, certain answer evaluation with universal and existential nulls remains in coNP. Note that the problem is coNP-hard, already for positive existential queries and databases with only existential nulls. If inequalities ¬( xi ≈ xj) are allowed, reasoning over existential databases is known to be [Formula: see text]-complete, and it remains in [Formula: see text] when universal nulls and full first order queries are allowed.
Relationships Between Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Cerebrospinal Fluid Metrics in Early Stages of the Alzheimer’s Disease Continuum
Authors: Alm Kylie H. , Bakker Arnold
Published: July 2019

Recently, the field of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) research has adopted a new framework that places the progression of AD along a continuum consisting of a preclinical stage, followed by conversion to mild cognitive impairment, and ultimately dementia. Important neuropathological changes occur in the preclinical phase, necessitating the identification of metrics that can detect such early changes. While cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) measures of amyloid and tau are generally accepted as biomarkers of AD pathology, neuroimaging measures used to index white matter alterations throughout the brain remain less widely endorsed as candidate biomarkers. To explore the relationship between white matter alterations and AD pathology, we review the literature on multimodal studies that assessed both CSF markers and white matter indices, derived from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) methods, across cohorts primarily in the early phases of AD. Our review indicates that abnormal CSF measures of Aβ42 and tau are associated with widespread alterations in white matter microstructure throughout the brain. Furthermore, white matter variability is related to individual differences in behavior and can aid in tracking longitudinal changes in cognition. Our review advocates for the utilization of DTI metrics in investigations of early AD and suggests that the combined use of DTI and CSF markers may better explain individual differences in cognition and disease progression. However, further research is needed to resolve certain mixed findings.

Authors: Nance Christin , Ritter Aaron , Miller Justin B. , Lapin Brittany , Banks Sarah J.
Published: July 2019

Background:

Variable rate of cognitive decline among individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an important consideration for disease management, but risk factors for rapid cognitive decline (RCD) are without consensus.

Objective:

To investigate demographic, clinical, and pathological differences between RCD and normal rates of cognitive decline (NCD) in AD.

Methods:

Neuropsychology test and autopsy data was pulled from the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center database from individuals with a clinical diagnosis of AD. Individuals with average decline of 3 or more points on the Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) per year over 3 years were labeled RCD; all others were NCD.

Results:

Sixty individuals identified as RCD; 230 as NCD. These neuropsychology tests differed at baseline (RCD versus NCD): WMS-LM Immediate Recall (4.35[3.39] versus 6.31[3.97], p < 0.001), Animal Naming (12.1[4.83] versus 13.9[4.83], p = 0.007), TMT Part B (187[86.1] versus 159[79.0], p = 0.02), WAIS-Digit Symbol (29.5[11.3] versus 29.5[11.3], p = 0.04), and the BNT (21.5[7.05] versus 23.6[5.09], p = 0.04). RCD had more thyroid disease (30% versus 16%, p = 0.01) and greater usage of AD medication at baseline (80% versus 62%, p = 0.01). RCD had more severe cerebral amyloid angiopathy (1.62[1.0] versus 1.13[1.0], p = 0.002), more neocortical Lewy bodies (20% versus 10%, p = 0.04), and more atrophy (1.54[0.92] versus 1.17[0.83], p = 0.04). A model combining select variables was significant above chance ( χ2 = 25.8, p = 0.002), but not to clinical utility (AUC < 0.70; 95% CI).

Conclusion:

Individuals with RCD have more severe pathology, more comorbidities, and lower baseline neuropsychology test scores of language and executive function.
In vitro rooting and acclimatization of Amelanchier alnifolia (Nutt.) Nutt. ex M. Roem: Testing of auxin, spermidine, and gibberellin for overcoming dormancy
Authors: Hunková Júlia , Gajdošová Alena
Published: July 2019

BACKGROUND:

Amelanchier alnifolia is an attractive small fruit difficult to propagate by traditional methods. Moreover, this species can be susceptible to dormancy after transplanting to the soil.

OBJECTIVE:

The aim of this work was to evaluate factors that contribute to effective in vitro rooting and acclimatization of micropropagated shoots of Amelanchier alnifolia.

METHODS:

Different auxins, media concentrations, and sprays containing plant growth regulators were tested. The experimental data were treated by analysis of variance.

RESULTS:

1-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) was superior for rooting compared to indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Cultivation of shoots on Murashige & Skoog (MS) medium with a half-strength concentration (1/2 MS) led to higher rooting frequencies than on full-strength MS medium. Addition of 1.5 mg l–1 spermidine to cultivation medium did not significantly improve rooting. Gibberellic acid (GA4+7) alone or in combination with 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) did not effectively break post-rooting dormancy.

CONCLUSION:

The greatest number of actively growing plants was recorded after rooting the shoots on 1/2 MS medium with 1 mg l–1 NAA followed by a spray treatment with 1 mg l–1 BAP. These results are directly applicable for improving rooting efficiency and acclimatization of micropropagated Amelanchier spp. plantlets.

Design an Adjustable Narrow Correlator to Track GPS Signals
Authors: Albu-Rghaif Ali , Salman Saad A. , Alshamary Haider Ali Jasim
Published: July 2019

Multipath signals problem is still the main challenge for the global positioning system (GPS) receiver to obtain an accurate localization measurement. However, many techniques have been developed to mitigate the impact of these undesired signals at the expense of adding a burden to the GPS receiver design. Even though, none of the techniques in the works of literature was able to solve the loose signal lock issue efficiently. In this piece of work, we used a new approach to maintain the tracking synchronization when the receiver moves from outdoors to indoors /harsh environment. We design a dynamic narrow correlator in the delay lock loop, which made the space between the early and late correlators adjusted according to the receiver’s location. Consequently, this will enable the receiver to keep tracking the received GPS signal in a challenging environment and reduce the thrashing the available resources (power/processing) to acquire the GPS signal again. The results show that the ranging error has been reduced in comparison with a traditional narrow correlator, as well as the bit transition in the in-phase arm has been also maintained.
The Issue of the Knowledge of the Unseen; A Comparative Study in the Light of Tafsir Jawahir al Qur’an and Zia al Qur’an
Authors: Ullah Mr. Sami
Published: July 2019

he study of two renowned Tafasir (commentries) of the Holy Qur’an namely: Jawahir-al-Qura’n and Zia-al-Qura'n reveals that these interpretations stand parallel to each other as far as certain religious beliefs are concerned. A critical and research based study is required to end the differences once for all. It is crystal clear that there is a difference of opinion regarding certain religious beliefs between the authors of Tafsir Zia al-Qur’an and Tafsir Jawahur al-Qur’an. Both the authors belong to Sunna School of Thoughts and interestingly both sects, the DeobandÊ and the Brelvi follow Hanafi Fiqh. But in spite of all that there is a difference of opinion regarding certain religious beliefs between them. This thesis deals with the difference of opinion on the question whether the Holy Propht (PBUH) had knowledge of the unseen (Ilm-al-Ghaiyb) or not?
