Authors: Behnam Mahsa , Zarrinfar Hossein , Najafzadeh Mohammad Javad , Naseri Ali , Jarahi Lida , Novak Babič Monika
Published: May 2020

Background and Purpose: Dermatophytes are a group of fungi specialized in invading humans and other vertebrate keratinized tissues. These fungi cause a variety of skin, nail, and hair disorders, called dermatophytosis (tinea). In some cases, drug resistance to antifungals necessitates special treatment. Among the antifungal agents, sertaconazole (i.e., a third-generation imidazole) has a broad-spectrum against dermatophyte species. Regarding this, the present study was conducted to investigate the antifungal susceptibility of dermatophytes obtained from patients with dermatophytosis in Mashhad located in northeastern Iran.
Materials and Methods: A total of 75 clinical dermatophyte isolates, including Trichophyton mentagrophytes (n=21), T. interdigital (n=18), T. tonsurans (n=16), Epidermophyton floccosum (n=11), Microsporum canis (n=5), Nannizzia fulvum (n=2), T. benhamiae (n=1), and T. verrucosum (n=1), were evaluated against five antifungal agents of sertaconazole, itraconazole, clotrimazole, terbinafine, and griseofulvin based on the CLSI M38-A2 guideline.
Results: According to the results, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranges of sertaconazole, terbinafine, griseofulvin, itraconazole, and clotrimazole were estimated at 0.125-16, 0.002-1, 0.5-4, 0.031-4, and 0.016-4 μg/ml, respectively, for dermatophyte species. In addition, the geometric mean (GM) values of the MIC of sertaconazole, terbinafine, griseofulvin, itraconazole, and clotrimazole were obtained as 3.39, 1, 1.44, 1.52, and 1.93, respectively.
Conclusion: Among the tested antifungals, terbinafine and griseofulvin were the most effective agents against dermatophyte isolates. However, sertaconazole, a third-generation imidazole, did not show any significant effect. Furthermore, M. canis and E. floccosum showed the best response to the antifungal agents.

Published: May 2020

Background and Purpose: Rhinocerebral mycosis is a rapidly invasive infection in diabetic patients with an unfavorable course. Herein, we report a rare case of orbital cellulitis caused by Curvularia lunata following fungal rhinosinusitis in a diabetic male patient.
Case report: A 35-year-old male with uncontrolled diabetes presented to the emergency department of our center with high-grade fever accompanied by chills and rigors, severe diffuse headache, and projectile vomiting with swelling and loss of vision in the right eye. The tissue sample from surgical debridement showed pigmented hyphae; in addition, Curvularia lunata was isolated in culture. Imaging was indicative of orbital extension. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with fungal rhinosinusitis with orbital cellulitis. The patient was subjected to extensive surgical debridement, along with antifungals. Rhinosinusitis resolved; however, the loss of vision was irreversible.
Conclusion: Orbital cellulitis is a very rare but life-threatening complication of fungal rhinosinusitis. Very few cases of orbital cellulitis following fungal rhinosinusitis have been reported in the literature. Early and prompt diagnosis can save the life of a patient.

GPS Based City Wise Integration System for City Vendors
Authors: Shrivastava Vaidehi , Dhakad Harsh , Bajaj Samarth , Divyasheesh Viplove
Published: May 2020

This research paper focuses on creating a platform for street vendors which will improve their availability to users by displaying their real-time location nearby user’s locality along with their respective services. This doesn’t require any expensive hardware allowing users to get notified when a hawker providing services of user’s interest pass through her street.

Small-scaled business people like hawkers have a large impact on a country's economy because of their large population in developing countries like India. Due to minimal exposure to technology, they use classic business methods which struggle to uphold their position against tough competition from large organizations. These hawkers can be uplifted by providing a platform which will be based on advanced business strategies developed on the basis of those which are introduced by modern economists and business ideologists.

This platform will be as useful for static vendors as it is for dynamic vendors not limiting to a single service but to all street vendors present despite the service they provide. Hence, users won’t have to look for vendors floating in the streets as their location will be visible on the map in the application.

Published: May 2020

Abstract— In this paper, we will discuss how to perform a penetration test on Metasploitable 2 using Metasploit. Metasploitable 2 is a vulnerable system that we decide to use, as using some other system to do the same it would be considered as hacking and could have awful results. The primary purpose of this research is to tell about the various tools used when someone trying to find possible vulnerabilities in a system. By using the Metasploit system to test a system, we can find possible vulnerabilities that need to be fixed to protect and make the system better. Different areas like firewalls, network protocols, and other basic security is-sues will be explored in this research.While there are many other different ways to do penetration testing, but we decide to use Metasploit be-cause of its broad uses and simplicity. We will have the option of either using the command line within Metasploit or by using the community version of the product, which is mostly automated. Both alternatives will be explored in this paper. If anyone going through all of the steps given in this paper should be able to try and exploit any vulnerable system.
The Russian Factor in Turkey's Georgian Policy after the Russian-Georgian War (August 2008)
Authors: Asadov Murad
Published: May 2020

Formation of new states in the South Caucasus and Central Asia after the collapse of the Soviet Union raised to have relations with the Turkic peoples of Central Asia first in the history of the Republic for Turkey. Foreign policy the Caucasus continues to evolve in its foreign policy strategy. A force associated with this well-intentioned policy, which is adjacent to the Laki region, is always offered. Whenever Turkey wants to enter the Caucasus, it will not be adversely affected by other countries. With the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, Russia's influence in the region was weak. The nickname was temporary. At the beginning of the 21st century, Vladimir Putin received a well-developed document with the credibility of Putin.

Turkey’s north-east neighbour Georgia is not a very big country, it has a particular importance of the geostrategic position not only in the Caucasus region but also in Turkey. Especially, the location of Georgia in the center of the transport and trade routes to the Caucasus and Central Asia increases its geostrategic status more. The main positive turning point in the development of Georgia-Turkey relations happened with the realization of oil and natural gas pipelines to run Caspian oil through Tbilisi to Turkey and from there to the West.

This article will explore the Turkish-Russian relations of the late twentieth and early twenty first century and the Russian factor in Turkey's South Caucasus policy following the August 2008 events.
Evaluation of Public Tender Law Changes in Turkey in Context of Economic Sustainability
Authors: AKYILDIZ Nihal Arda
Published: May 2020

In today's economic system, the state has to make some purchases of goods and services to produce and offer the services of the public system formed by local administrations and other administrations. These purchases are the purchases that the public deems necessary through the private sector within the framework of investment programs and budget. Although annual growth and the tranches of spending items in investment programs change every year within the framework of the country's growth, purchases in the public system necessarily occur depending on these rates. Regulations and improvements on this subject; will not only affect the current levels of economic and social welfare, but will also increase the welfare levels of future generations and will support economic sustainability. The issue of public purchases regulated by law, which has become more important especially with its wide coverage in the Eleventh Development Plan, continues to contribute to economic sustainability with its value that directs the country's economy.

In the study, literature reviews of public procurements, tender laws and related regulations which have a direct effect on the country's economy were conducted as method; and changes in the public procurements, tender laws and relevant legislation have been aimed to be revealed. Since the first law of 1925, in the four law amendments, some regulations have been made abiding by the main principles and the arrangements required by the country have been made. While the names of the procurement procedures change in the laws are partial, the main contents are preserved. The study examines the four procurement laws that have changed in this way; aiming to provide information on the subject and to address the forecasts that are realized with the support of the country's economy and sustainable development.

Published: May 2020

Los sofocos son el síntoma más frecuente y característico del climaterio. Se desencadenan con el estrés, altas temperaturas ambientales y alcohol. La etiología es la deprivación estrogénica, pero los mecanismos exactos que los producen se desconocen, pero se postula que se relacionan con un cambio en la vía noradrenérgica que modifica tanto la regulación de los centros hipotalámicos, que controlan la temperatura corporal, como las neuronas productoras de GnRH. Los sofocos hay que diferenciarlos de cuadros clínicos similares como el hipertiroidismo. carcinoide, feocromocitoma; y, de reacciones a fármacos como nifedipina, niacina o calcitonina. El tratamiento más efectivo son los estrógenos. Cuando hay contraindicaciones o rechazo a esta terapia pueden plantearse otras alternativas como tibolona, gestágenos y andrógenos; entre las alternativas no hormonales figuran veralipride, alfametildopa, clonidina, metoclorporpamida y la beta-alanina. Otra medida con cierta efectividad es el aumento de la actividad física. Las mujeres japonesas presentan menos bochornos que las occidentales, relacionándose este hecho a los fitoestrógenos que ingieren a través de la soya. Diferentes fitoestrógenos se han usado con éxito en el control de los bochornos. Conclusión: cuando no se puede o no se quiere usar estrógenos existen otras alternativas terapeutas efectivas.

The paper introduces the development of the technology of reactive magnetron deposition of a nanosized aluminum oxide layer on a roll PET film, which provides a low specific permeability relative to oxygen. We describe a large-size magnetron deposition facility and its optimal operating modes, as well as the sequence of operations performed. Within the research, we found that various parameters of magnetron deposition of aluminum oxide affect the characteristics of the nanosized layer. The thicknesses of oxide layers were measured in the range of 20--80 nm, the roughness of their surfaces and their structures and reliefs were estimated. Furthermore, we established the experimental dependence of the specific permeability relative to the oxygen of the oxide layer on the PET substrate on its thickness in the range of 20--80 nm. The study gives its qualitative explanation and describes the specific energy consumption
Comparative Assessment of Thermal Protective Characteristics of Metal and Ceramic Shields of Flow Paths of High-Temperature Gas Dynamic Facilities
Authors: Tovstonog V.A.
Published: May 2020

In modern technology, gas dynamic facilities with a flow path of a high-temperature working fluid are widely used. Their effectiveness largely depends on the maximum achievable temperature, which is to a great extent determined by the heat resistance of structural materials and thermal protection systems of the most heat-stressed structural units. Most often, mass transfer thermal protection methods using the coolant of fuel components are used in such plants. However, in some gas dynamic facilities, such as high-speed ramjet engines, the use of such methods is only sufficient to maintain an acceptable temperature level for the elements of the flow path itself. As for the thermal protection of the enclosing structural elements which are adjacent to the path, it can be provided with either uncooled screens or heat-insulating linings. The study gives a comparative assessment of the temperature regime and characteristics of alternative types of heat shields

Published: May 2020

The main factors controlling the formation of the stern of explosively formed projectiles are investigated using numerical calculations in a three-dimensional formulation of a problem. To form folds in the stern, it is proposed to use thin-walled spherical segments with a peripheral thickness deviation in terms of decreasing or increasing with respect to the thickness in the central part. The configurations of explosively formed projectiles with inclined folds in the stern are shown, and it is proposed to describe the fold inclination by two angles of its position. The effect of folds in the stern on the change in aerodynamic coefficients for a wide range of angle of attack is numerically studied. The angular velocity of the axial rotation of explosively formed projectiles with inclined folds in the stern is estimated based on the Newton method and considering the angles of its position. The results obtained are of interest to specialists working in the field of physics of explosion and high-speed impact, as well as those dealing with aerodynamics of aircrafts, mainly of axisymmetric shape

Authors: Arefyev K.Yu. , Fedotova K.V. , Krikunova A.I. , Panov V.A.
Published: May 2020

The paper presents the results of calculation and experimental studies of the diffusion combustion of methane in the air cross-flow. We developed a mathematical model for describing a diffusion air-methane flame, the model being based on solving a system of averaged Navier --- Stokes equations in an unsteady setting. To calculate the combustion processes, we used the flamelet models and eddy dissipation concept (EDC) model. The mathematical model was supplemented by a detailed kinetic mechanism consisting of 325 elementary reactions involving 53 substances. Furthermore, we carried out calculations and comparative analysis of the flame characteristics using various turbulence models: k − ε, k − ω SST and Transition SST. The study introduces a diagram of the experimental setup for physical modeling of methane combustion in the air cross-flow, and presents the results of the calculation and experimental study of the cross-flow velocity pulsation effect on the flame structure, as well as the efficiency of methane combustion in the diffusion mode. We obtained data on temperature and concentration fields at pulsation frequencies of 0--100 Hz. Findings of research show that for the case under consideration, stable combustion occurs at pulsation frequencies of 0--90 Hz. The maximum observed flame lift-off is 3.2 times the diameter of the burner nozzle

Published: May 2020

One of the most important problems in the development of advanced products of aerospace engineering and highly efficient power plants is to make high-temperature structural, heat-shielding and heat-insulating materials with extremely high operating temperatures of 2000--2500 °C. Even for prototype models, it is necessary to make a qualitative breakthrough in the field of materials science and the production of new high-temperature composite and heat-insulating materials which provide thermal protection and the permissible temperature conditions of structural elements at high temperatures. The practical application of the developed materials requires an evaluation of the whole body of their physicomechanical, optical, and thermophysical characteristics, which can only be done in experimental studies. We developed the design of the experimental setup and the methodology for the approximate evaluation of the thermophysical characteristics of highly porous heat-insulating materials at temperatures up to 2000 °C. A propane / oxygen or acetylene / oxygen multi-nozzle torch serves as a heating source for samples with a characteristic size of up to 50 × 50 mm. The paper substantiates the methodology for processing the measurement results in order to determine the thermophysical characteristics, and gives the results of a study of the thermal conductivity of highly porous zirconium oxide-based material

Dentre os elementos presentes nas estruturas de concreto pré-moldado estão as vigas de seção “L”, largamente utilizadas no perímetro (bordas e fachadas) das edificações. A geometria tridimensional e as cargas externas aplicadas excentricamente na aba lateral fazem com que este tipo de viga esteja submetido simultaneamente a tensões normais e tensões de cisalhamento, gerando assim um complexo estado tensional. O fato das ligações com os apoios também estarem submetidas a torção torna o projeto estrutural das vigas de seção “L” um dos mais complexos entre os elementos da indústria de concreto pré-moldado por particularidades que não ocorrem nos modelos de vigas convencionais. Nesse contexto, o presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar a análise e dimensionamento de vigas de seção “L” utilizando o Método das Bielas. Para tanto, foi desenvolvido um estudo de caso com auxílio do software CAST contemplando todas as etapas de dimensionamento e respeitando os parâmetros recomendados pela ABNT NBR 6118:2014. Por fim a metodologia apresentada foi validada através de diferentes métodos analíticos alternativos presentes na literatura internacional, demonstrando que o Método das Bielas é uma ferramenta bastante atrativa para o dimensionamento de vigas de seção “L” de concreto pré-moldado.

Furthermore, the postpartum mother, who needs recovery after birth, also drinks the herbs. This essay employed a literature review of 14 ethnographic books conducted by National Institute of Health Research and Development, which focused on the herbal medicines for puerperal mothers. The results of the literature review revealed that the majority of mothers in Java and Sumatera using jamu during the postpartum period to heal and recover the mother's health. Not only do the mother drink jamu, but she also applies certain herbs on her body. Clinical trials have proved the efficacy of ingredients for herbal medicines. Therefore, people prefer to use the herbs because it is easy to find and inexpensive, and it also has a long-term effect on the mother's health and fitness. However, herbal medicine, which is usually employed by the people, needs further research, in particular, the dose of jamu. So, herbal medicine based on local wisdom can be one of consideration in the health development program. Keyword: Jamu, Pueperal, Traditional
Correlation of Mothers’ Knowledge and Employment Status with Exclusive Breastfeeding in Sidotopo
Authors: Ramli Riza
Published: May 2020

Background: Low level of knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding and mother's employment status become factors causing flawed exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia. The high number of working mothers makes babies unable to be exclusively breastfed. Objective: This study determined the relationship of knowledge and mother's employment status with exclusive breastfeeding in Sidotopo. Method: This study was a descriptive analytical study with a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a total sample of 57 respondents. The primary data were collected through questionnaires and then analyzed by using chi-square test. Results: There were 52 mothers (91%) who did not exclusively breastfeed. Most of them (94.4%) had insufficient knowledge and did not exclusively breastfeed. The number of mothers who had good knowledge and exclusively breastfed was only 3 mothers (14.3%). Most mothers (73.7%) who did not work did not exclusively breastfed their babies (90.5%). Among 15 working mothers (26.3%), only 1 mother (6.7%) exclusively breastfed. Based on the bivariate analysis test, there was no relationship of mother's knowledge with exclusive breastfeeding (P value = 0.346 > 0.05). There was no relationship of mother's employment status with exclusive breastfeeding (P value= 0.604 <0.05). Conclusion: Environment and habits of providing complementary food to babies aged less than 6 months are difficult to avoid it, and thus babies cannot gain the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the Legis Ratio in the regulation of Ministerial Regulations in Article 8 of Law 12 of 2011 concerning Formation of Regulations and Regulations as amended by Law 15 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law 12 of 2011 concerning Formation of Regulations. This research is normative legal research with a philosophical approach, conceptual approach, comparative law, and historical approach. The legal materials used are primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. basic norms and laws and regulations, while secondary sources include new and current scientific knowledge which includes books, research reports, journals, magazines Tertiary sources namely black law dictionary, abstracts and other tertiary sources Analysis of legal material is carried out with descriptive perspective. The results showed that the regulation of Ministerial Regulations departs from the desire to re-regulate clearly the existence of Ministerial Regulations previously stated in the Explanation of Law 10 of 2004 concerning Formation of Legislation so that the existence of Ministerial Regulations has stronger legal legitimacy in the legislation system Indonesia. The Ministerial Regulation provides the legal basis for the Minister to form laws and regulations in their respective fields as an assistant to the President in carrying out governmental power.

Current study review extant empirical researches on the relationship between CG and EQ. However, the scope of the reviewed studies was shown to vary, most studies on CG and EQ are specific in focus, with different studies focusing on specific aspects or measures of CG. This study evaluates the role of emerging policies and the effectiveness of corporate governance mechanisms on earning quality within a conceptual framework for the Gulf cooperation council. This study concludes that the majority of companies with big board size, higher board independence, and more frequent meetings have improved EQ. Also, the result indicates companies with big audit committee size, a larger number of independent directors, more audit committee meetings and more experts tend to have an increase in EQ. Finally, this review emerged as a framework suitable for assessing the level of EQ disclosed and the relationship between CG and EQ base on GCC policies.
Stiffness-Damping Matching Modelling for Vibration Isolation System of Roadheader ECB

Published: May 2020

The electronic control box (ECB) is a key and precise component of a roadheader. The vibration of the ECB is an increasingly prominent issue as the machine capacity grows. In order to promote the isolation effect of the ECB, a whole-body vibration model considering the cutting effect is derived, based upon which the stiffness-damping matching strategy for the ECB isolator is acquired. For engineering application, the tubular constrained damping isolator (TCDI) is developed based on the constrained damping theory and the matching strategy. The theoretical results show that the isolation effect of the ECB isolator strengthens as the stiffness coefficients decline and the damping coefficients increase. The configurations with larger rear stiffness coefficients and larger front damping coefficients could lead to a better vibration control effect. The experiment results indicate that the TCDI exhibits a greater capability of isolating the impact excitation than the traditional E-type isolator, thus verifying the whole-body vibration model for the roadheader and the matching strategy for the ECB isolator. This research can provide theoretical and practical references for the investigation of the dynamic behaviour of complex viscoelastic structures.
Influence of a Vibration Isolation System on Planar Dynamics of a Motorcycle
Authors: Kaul Sudhir
Published: May 2020

This paper examines a model to investigate the impact of a vibration isolation system on the planar (in-plane) dynamics of a motorcycle. While it is not very common, a vibration isolation system is used in some motorcycles to mitigate vibrations resulting from the shaking forces of the engine. For such layouts, the powertrain is assembled to the frame through the vibration isolation system that typically consists of two to four isolators. It is critical to comprehend the influence of the isolation system on the overall dynamic characteristics of the motorcycle due to the coupled dynamics of the rear suspension, the isolation system, and the rear unsprung mass. The influence of a vibration isolation system on the in-plane dynamics is analysed by using a relatively simple model that has been developed in this study. This model has been used to evaluate the influence of the isolation system on natural modes, transmissibility, and ride comfort. Results indicate that the use of a vibration isolation system couples the rear unsprung hop to the pitch motion of the powertrain with a slight increase in the corresponding natural frequency. Results indicate that the use of a vibration isolation system directly affects handling of the motorcycle. Furthermore, results indicate that the pitch of the sprung mass and the hop of the rear unsprung mass are particularly influenced by the vibration isolation system. The model presented in this paper could be useful in the early stages of the design process to compare the rigidly mounted powertrain to different layouts of the vibration isolation system.

Рассматривается система уравнений Эйлера, описывающая многомерные течения невязкого многокомпонентного газа с несколькими химическими реакциями. Для этой системы методом расщепления по физическим процессам Марчука-Стрэнга строится неявная численная схема. Конвекция в ней рассчитывается по бикомпактной схеме SDIRK3B4 четвертого порядка по пространству и третьего порядка по времени, химические реакции - $L$-устойчивым методом Рунге-Кутты второго порядка. На одномерных и двумерных задачах с детонационными волнами проводится сравнение схемы SDIRK3B4 со схемой WENO5/SR. Показывается, что схема SDIRK3B4 при той же фактической точности обходится в 20-40 раз меньшим числом шагов по времени и не требует применения специальных процедур, подавляющих нефизический распад детонационных волн на относительно грубых сетках.

Изложен подход к математическому моделированию процесса зарождения и роста частиц сажи при диффузионном горении углеводородного топлива. Цепочка превращений углеводородного топлива моделируется с помощью марковского процесса с конечным числом состояний, который описывается жeсткой системой обыкновенных дифференциальных уравнений (ОДУ) Колмогорова. В результате численного моделирования получена совокупность функций, описывающих изменение концентраций различных фракций сажи в ламинарном диффузионном пламени толуола в зависимости от времени. На основе результатов численного решения системы ОДУ построены дискретные распределения частиц по размерам (относительным диаметрам) для различных моментов времени. С помощью метода наименьших квадратов построены непрерывные распределения Вейбулла, аппроксимирующие дискретные распределения. Полученные результаты качественно согласуются с экспериментальными данными.
