Legitimate mix design and cautious development utilizing the best accessible materials and developments are significant to finish quality concrete structures. In the utmost current decade, the usage of Additional Cementing Materials (ACMs) has become a vital piece of high quality and superior concrete mix design. One of the significant changes is the presentation of small-scale innovation for concrete with fine and ultrafine cementitious materials. It is currently believable to achieve astounding molecule pressing and subsequently conform to the exhibition requests both in new and in the solidified states. In the prevailing examination the ACMs utilized are Fly ash, silica fume, Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag and Metakaolin which are prescribed by IS 456:2000 to recover the strength and durability of concrete. This paper shows the presentation of M30 to M90 grade of concrete with superplasticizer utilizing Rapid Chloride Permeability Test. Suitable mix of these ACMs can be utilized practically to advancement the chloride opposition of standard to high strength concrete mixes.
Structural Steel Tensile Fracture-Inception Prevention Limit State and Ductility Criteria
Authors: Adewole Kazeem Kayode , de Dieu Mutabaruka Jean
Published: June 2020

This paper proposes using the tensile-fracture-inception-prevention (TFIP) limit state and ductility parameter/criterion for a safer fracture-resistant design of the tension members of steel structures. Finite element (FE) analysis revealed that the tensile band localization strain (TBLS) is significantly lower than the fracture strain currently employed as the structural steel elongation-based ductility parameter/criterion. The TBLS is thus, a safer fracture-resistant parameter/criterion than the fracture strain. FE analysis reveals that the TBLS at the center of tension specimens (mid-thickness and mid-width) is lower, and is thus a safer TFIP elongation-based ductility criteria/parameter than the TBLS at the surface of tension specimens.

Published: June 2020

To guarantee the safety and serviceability of present bridges maintenances are essential all around the Globe and most governments’ budget effect by overhaul such infrastructures yearly without any rate of interest in these maintenances. A large proportion of costs are allocated for maintenances costs due to the increasing number of present bridges. Maintenances also have a substantial effect on economic and sustainable development. In this study, a durability reliability analysis of reinforced concrete slabs subject to the action of deteriorations during the life cycle of bridges is presented. This paper is focused on providing insight into the role of reliability life cycle assessment in One Century of bridge maintenance cost performance by two reliability factors in the monitoring of 150 points of modeled bridge. The first factor in this model is crack size expansion about the time scale of the concrete deck by consideration of concrete deterioration. The second factor is the reliability of the compaction ratio of concrete (fc) based on the probability that this factor will perform as intended for 100 years duration under normal conditions. Finally, this paper generates a complicated model, which illustrates specific duration need maintenance to reach high performance in a total of 100 years. For instance, by this sample and data binding, the best time to get reliable and durable structure is in 23 years of initial usage, and this bridge needs concrete structural rehabilitation to reach high performance and durable concrete deck and pavement in the life cycle of the bridge.

Published: June 2020

Introduction

African swine fever (ASF) is a pressing economic problem in a number of Eastern European countries. It has also depleted the Chinese sow population by 50%. Managing the disease relies on culling infected pigs or hunting wild boars as sanitary zone creation. The constraints on the development of an efficient vaccine are mainly the virus’ mechanisms of host immune response evasion. The study aimed to adapt a field ASFV strain to established cell lines and to construct recombinant African swine fever virus (ASFV) strain.

Material and Methods

The host immune response modulation genes A238L, EP402R, and 9GL were deleted using the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/caspase 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) mutagenesis system. A representative virus isolate (Pol18/28298/Out111) from Poland was isolated in porcine primary pulmonary alveolar macrophage (PPAM) cells. Adaptation of the virus to a few established cell lines was attempted. The plasmids encoding CRISPR/Cas9 genes along with gRNA complementary to the target sequences were designed, synthesised, and transfected into ASFV-infected PPAM cells.

Results

The reconstituted virus showed similar kinetics of replication in comparison to the parent virus isolate.

Conclusion

Taking into account the usefulness of the developed CRISPR/Cas9 system it has been shown that modification of the A238L, EP402R, and 9GL genes might occur with low frequency, resulting in difficulties in separation of various virus populations.
The Turnover of Palestinian Governments and its Selected Impacts on the Sustainability of Public Policy
Authors: Alaysa Jehad , Musa Hussam
Published: June 2020

The aim of this research is examining governmental turnover and its impact on the sustainability of public policy in the Palestinian context. We argue that the absence of a clear political program of governments and the absence of clear rules in professional and independent civil service allows Palestinian ministers to politicize the ministries they run, in addition to imposing their personal visions on different administrative levels, which makes the frequent turnover of governments and ministerial faces a challenge to the administrative level’s capability to create and implement sustainable public policies. We examined and compared through in-depth interviews the relationship between the political dimension of government formation and its surrounding considerations with the administrative executive dimension in Palestinian conditions. We concluded that professionals from most ministries think that frequent ministerial turnover usually has a negative impact on the sustainability of public policy while only respondents from three ministries stated that turnover could have a positive impact.
Public Administration in Ukraine: Adjusting to European Standards
Authors: Khadzhyradieva Svitlana , Slukhai Sergii , Rachynskyi Anatolii
Published: June 2020

In recent years many important developments have been observed in the Ukrainian public administration: reforms in the public-administration system and civil service, improvements in the regulatory framework for their functioning, extension of the rights and powers of local self-government, bringing their activities into compliance with the EU requirements as well as the transformation of civil service according to the European standards.

However, reforming public administration in a post-socialist transition country is hampered by the lack of resources and by public mistrust. The Ukrainian state faces these challenges, as well, and it attempts to find the ways to leave behind the situation formed by decades of uncertain public policy and a flapping development vector.

Since 2014 key events have taken place that dramatically affected the public administration in Ukraine, i.e.: the elections of a new president instead of the one who fled, the snap parliamentary elections, establishing new civil and military administrations, launching approximately 60 reforms aiming to give the nation a modern shape corresponding to world-wide trends. Special importance must be granted to the public administration (PA) reform because it plays a crucial role in securing the nation’s success in global competition.

The goal of this study is reviewing the most important PA reforms occurring in Ukraine (decentralization, civil-service reform, anti-corruption measures, transparency, reviewing the functions of the central executive bodies). The research questions embrace the following: (a) what main directions in PA reforming are perceived by the Ukrainian government; (b) how are the national governmental body’s functions reviewed; (c) what are the obstacles and risks for PA reforming at the national level ? To address these questions, the respective legislation has been analyzed along with some practical steps applied by the government towards the improvement of public institutions’ operation.

Our study demonstrates that Ukraine has moved quite a distance from the soviet legacy as concerns public administration; however, the country has not reached the point of no return yet: the positive reform achievements must be supported by steady efforts in order to make them irreversible and to significantly raise public administration’s efficiency.

Authors: Raafat Mostafa , Ragab Omar Abdelaleem , Abdelwahab Osama Mohamed , Salama Mohamed Mamdouh , Hafez Mohamed Ahmed
Published: June 2020

Background:

The optimum timing for surgical evacuation of spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hematoma (ICH) is still controversial. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcome following early versus delayed surgical evacuation of spontaneous supratentorial ICH.

Methods:

This is a prospective cohort study including 70 patients with spontaneous supratentorial ICH ≥30 cc in volume and Glasgow Coma Scale 8–12. Patients were divided into two groups based on the time interval between ictus and surgery; Group A (evacuated within 8 h from ictus) and Group B (evacuated >8 h from ictus). Outcome was assessed at discharge and at 2 months postoperative using extended Glasgow Outcome Scale.

Results:

The early evacuation group (Group A) included 44 patients and the late evacuation group (Group B) included 26 patients. Favorable outcome was achieved in 20.5% of the patients in Group A and in 11.5% of the patients in Group B. Mortality rate was 18.2% in Group A and 26.9% in Group B. Three patients in Group A and one patient in Group B required reoperation. The mean hospital stay was 17.18 days and 14.54 days in Groups A and B, respectively.

Conclusion:

Early surgical evacuation of spontaneous supratentorial ICH in patients with good preoperative conscious level is associated with better clinical outcome, particularly in the early postoperative period. Early surgical evacuation has no significant impact on the rate of reoperation or the length of hospital stay.
Effect of length time to surgery on postoperative hospital length of stay among neurosurgical patients
Authors: Khormi Yahya H. , Nataraj Andrew
Published: June 2020

Background:

In most hospitals, inpatient urgent surgery is triaged based on the degree of urgency and time of surgical booking. A longer wait for semi-urgent surgery due to sharing resources between specialties might impact the postoperative course. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of length time to semi- urgent surgery on postoperative hospital length of stay among neurosurgical patients.

Methods:

A retrospective cohort study was conducted included all admitted adult patients placed on semi-urgent University of Alberta Hospital surgical list between 2008 and 2013. Linear and logistic regression analyses were performed. The main exposure variable was time from surgical booking to the time of surgery, and the outcome variable was time from surgery to discharge.

Results:

A total of 1367 neurosurgical cases were included in the study. The mean age was 54.3 years. The mean length of time in the hospital before and after surgery was 1.2 and 12.5 days, respectively. Overall, the time from booking to surgery did not affect the time from surgery to discharge. Increased age, higher ASA score, and surgeries performed after 24 h from booking in the group of patients who were discharged to another facility were associated with a longer postoperative stay.

Conclusion:

Neurosurgery patients booked for surgery to be done within 24 h waited longer to have their procedure completed. Overall, there was no significant association between length of time waiting for surgery and postoperative stay, although there was an increase in postoperative stays among patients who were discharged to another facility and had their surgeries performed after 24 h.
Hemifacial spasm caused by the brainstem developmental venous anomaly: A case report and review of the literature
Authors: Grigoryan George , Sitnikov Andrey , Grigoryan Yuri
Published: June 2020

Background:

Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is usually caused by vascular compression of the root exit zone (REZ) of the facial nerve. Dual compression of the REZ by veins and arteries is also associated with HFS, but venous origin alone is rarely reported. We present a rare case of HFS caused by the brainstem developmental venous anomaly (DVA) treated with microvascular decompression (MVD).

Case Description:

A 30-year-old women presented with the left-sided HFS since the age of 18 years. The brainstem DVA was diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and followed by two attempts of MVD at some other clinics without any improvement. At our hospital, MVD was performed through a left retromastoid craniotomy. Intraoperatively, after detaching the strong adhesions between the cerebellar hemisphere, petrosal dura and lower cranial nerves, and removing the Teflon sponge inserted during the previous operations, the compressing large vein was found, separated from facial nerve REZ and MVD was completed. The postoperative computed tomography angiography and MRI showed the thrombosis of the main trunk of DVA and decompression of the facial nerve REZ. Complete cessation of HFS with hearing preservation was observed with only slight weakness of mimic muscles which disappeared within 3 months after surgery.

Conclusion:

HFS associated with brainstem DVA is a very rare condition. MVD of the facial nerve REZ with transposition of the large draining vein should be considered as an effective treatment option.

Published: June 2020

The persistent decline in the quality of education in Nigeria in general and in Anambra state in particular gives serious cause for concern. Something has to be done about it and urgently too. This prompted the study to analyze principals’ management activities for sustainable quality assurance in secondary schools in Anambra state. Two research questions guided the study and two hypotheses were tested. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised all the 257 public secondary school principals in Anambra State. No sampling was done due to the relatively small size of the population of the study. A 21-item questionnaire titled ‘‘Analysis of Principals’ Management Activities for Sustainable Quality Assurance Questionnaire (APMASQAQ)’’ was the instrument for data collection. The instrument was subjected to face validation by three experts from Faculty of Education, NnamdiAzikiwe University. Cronbach alpha method was used to ascertain the reliability of the instrument. The overall coefficient of 0.84 was obtained.  Mean was used to answer the research questions, while Z-test was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study, among others revealed that principals’ students’ academic performance monitoring activities for sustainable quality assurance in secondary schools in Anambra state was low. It also revealed that there was no significant difference in the mean ratings of male and female principals on the extent of their engagement in management activities for sustainable quality assurance in secondary schools in Anambra State. Based on the findings it was recommended among others that principals should encourage the teachers to take the continuous assessment exercise very serious and also make provisions for learners with special learning needs to bring about all inclusive learning.

Gender Ideology on Marriage in Contemporary Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Hien Thi , Hoang Lan Anh
Published: June 2020

This paper examines how conservative gender ideology affects Vietnamese men’s and women’s belief in marriage with a focus on the importance of marriage to their personhoodand aspirations for ideal marital partners. Since marriage is a both legal and social recognition for the foundation and maintenance of families in a society, studying gender ideology on marriage helps to identify differences in men’s and women’s perspectives over marriage and how those views can reflect gender equality in the domestic sphere. The data on which this paper is based are part of a larger research project, namely “Understanding Gender and Marriage Ideology in Contemporary Vietnam” which was conducted in 2015. The results of the study indicate that marriage is still highly important to both Vietnamese men and women. Marriage is not only a social recognition regarding people’s individual achievements and gender identities but also a type of economic investment (in children) for their old age. In relation to marriage aspirations, Vietnamese people still base on genderrole ideology, which highlights men’s and women’s distinctive roles in familial life, to select their marital partners. The persistence of Confucianism in Vietnamese society is the main source for Vietnamese people to set up criteria for their ideal partners.

Kata wacana berasal dari kata vacana ‘bacaan’ dalam bahasa sanskerta kemudian masuk dalam bahasa Jawa Kuno dan bahasa Jawa Baru yaitu wacana atau ‘bicara, kata, ucapan’. Menurut Poerwadarminta (dalam Baryadi, 2002:1) kata wacana dalam bahasa Jawa Baru diserap kedalam bahasa Indonesia menjadi wacana ‘ucapan, percakapan, kuliah’. Wacana memiliki hubungan antar bagian wacana. Menurut Baryadi (2002:17), hubungan antar bagian wacana ada dua jenis, yaitu (1) hubungan bentuk yang disebut dengan kohesi (cohesion) dan hubungan makna atau hubungan semantis yang disebut koherensi (coherence).Pada hubungan antar bagian wacana telah dilakukan beberapa penelitian dengan guna mengetahui apa saja kohesi dan koherensi yang terdapat dalam sebuah wacana. Menurut Hidayat, et.al, (2016), pada penelitiannya terdapat empat kohesi gramatikal, yaitu referensi, subtitusi, elipsis, dan konjungsi, sedangkan lima kohesi leksikal yang terdiri dari, repetisi, sinonim, antonimi, hiponimi, dan kolokasi. Lain halnya dengan Lestari (2019), pada hasil penelitiannya menjelaskan kohesi yang sering digunakan pada karangan narasi adalah referensi, katafora, sinonim, konjungsi, subtitusi, dan elipsis. Selain itu Aisyah (2019), pada hasil penelitiannya masih terdapat banyak kesalahan mengenai kohesi dan koherensi dalam wacana pada LKS dan yang paling menonjol adalah ketidaktepatan penggunaan konjungsi. Purwitasari (2017), pada penelitiannya terdapat penggunaan kohesi gramatikal yang sering muncul, yaitu referensi, penggantian, dan kohesi leksikal berupa repetisi dan kolokasi. Selanjutnya Amin (2016), pada penelitiannya menemukan kohesi dan koherensi terdapat pada bentuk konstruksi satuan lingual dan hubungan semantis antar kalimat di dalam wacana.

Kata vacana itu kemudian masuk kedalam bahasa jawa baru kemudian diserap kedalam bahasa indonesia wacana ‘ucapan, percakapan, kuliah’ ( Poerwadarminta 1976:1144). Kata wacana dalam bahasa Indonesia dipakai sebagai padanan atau terjemahan, kata discourse dalam bahasa Inggris. Secara etimologis kata discourse itu berasal dari bahasa latin discursus ‘ lari kian ke mari’. (Webster 1983:522). Pada analisis wacana mengenai kohesi dan koherensi telah dilakukan menelitian terdahulu sebagai berikut, menurut Suladi ( dalam Diah, 2012), kohesi adalah keserasian hubungan anatara unsur yang satu dan unsur yang lain dalam wacana, koherensi merupakan pertalian semantis antara unsur yang satu dan unsur lainnya dalam wacana. Menurut (Yeti Diyan, 2012), hubungan yang ditandai suatu bentuk lingual yang dampak disebut kohesi. Hubungan yang diwujudkan melalui hubungan makna disebut koherensi. Zaimar & Harapan (2015:19), kohesi merupakan keterkaitan unsur-unsur lahiriah suatu teks, misalnya kata-kata yang kita lihat atau saling berkaitan dalam suatu sekuen. Menurut Alwi, dkk. (2003:427), kohesi merupakan hubungan perkaitan antar proposisi yang dinyatakan secara eksplisit oleh unsur-unsur gramatikal dan semantik dalam kalimat-kalimat yang membentuk wacana, koherensi merupakan hubungan perkaitan antarproposisi. Menurut Sumadiria (2007:60), koherensi merupakan prinsip pertautan menunjukkan tentang keharusan pesan yang kita uraukan mengalir lancar dari kalimat yang satu ke kalimat yang lainnya.

Änanda & Sukha: Indian model of happiness & its mental health implications
Authors: Agrawal Jyotsna
Published: June 2020

Änanda, along with sätvika, räjasika and tämasika sukha are different types of happiness as discussed in the Indian tradition. Further different pathways to these have also been discussed such as niùçreyasa path to änanda, çreyas path to sätvika sukha and preyas path to räjasika - tämasika sukha. While änanda is experienced on liberation, most people in the world experience sukha, although its type differs based on the path taken. In a series of empirical studies on happiness of sukha type, with urban Indian adults, we found that most people at any point of time are happy. Sätvika qualities and çreyas type of activities were associated with happiness, while räjasika and tämasika qualities, along with preyas type of activities were related to more unhappiness. In general people preferred a mix of both çreyas and preyas type of activities, with higher frequency of çreyas type. High preyas focus in terms of alcohol dependence was associated with high tamas, low sattva and more frequent experience of negative emotions. These studies suggest development of sattva by taking a çreyas pathway may be associated with better mental health, on the other hand predominant focus on preyas pathway may be associated with räjasika - tämasika qualities and poor mental health. More studies are required in future to further test this hypothesis by developing sattva based interventions.
The Quest for Algerian Linguistic Independence
Authors: Bessaid Abdelhamid
Published: June 2020

The paper focuses on the eternal conflict between the existing languages in Algeria as a whole, starting from Berber language varieties through Tamazight to Arabic, then French, and the struggling issue in the Algerian linguistic network. It also examines the existing relationship between the patterns of Arabic language in Algeria, since it was considered as a foreign language until 1947, chiefly through, highlighting the relationship between Classical Arabic among Algerian society, and the language policy (Arabization) pursued since wrenching independence and the linguistic repercussions of the colonization period on Algerian Arabic. In this respect, among other findings, a foremost issue raised to highlight such a critical phenomenon; and that later leads to question the different realities between the Algerian National Constitution and daily practices among users. In other words, the new generation speakers face a natural barrier communicating with post-independence schooled generation. In this sense, the former represents the 'Arabization' policy pursued in Algeria; whereas, the latter is 'francophone,' considering the linguistic as well as the sociolinguistic repercussions that might outcome such contact in a country famed by the use of French among its diplomats as a language of instruction and discourse, whether as a formal discourse or informal speech. The research methodology is based on early retrospect works to denote such cross- conflicting status raised as a significant issue. Finally, the study recommended a siné- qua- non question which is, when will Algerians put an end to the different linguistic situations inherited after gaining their political independence in 1962?
Conceptual Symbolic Narration in Virginia Woolf’s To The Lighthouse and The Waves from a Reader-response perspective
Authors: Aboudaif Said Ahmed
Published: June 2020

This study examines conceptual, symbolic narration in Virginia Woolf’s; To The Lighthouse and The Waves. The study applies the reader-response critical approach to explain the significance of Woolf’s metaphoric narration in achieving specific interactions and meanings within her readers’ minds. Firstly, it sorts out symbolic language in the two novels to figure out how readers receive them. The analysis shows the heavy use of conceptualized symbolic language to achieve particular meanings and create thematic responses. Secondly, the study clarifies the effect of the conceptual, symbolic narration in revealing the technical aspects in the novels both at the literal meaning and at the symbolic meaning. Thus, the study aims at explaining how the conceptual, symbolic narration plays a functional role in achieving reader-responses to enhance thematic purposes and ideas intended by the writer.
"But you're Indian!" Cultural Hybridity and Assimilation in The Namesake
Authors: Khrais Sura Mohammad
Published: June 2020

This paper is a study of the cultural struggle and conflict survived by the protagonists in The Namesake (2003) by Jhumpa Lahiri as they move from their native land to America. It is an application of the theoretical concepts of hybridity and assimilation, as discussed in post-colonial criticism by critics such as Homi Bhabha. The researcher will discuss how the three main characters finally manage to develop new anti-monolithic models of cultural growth and exchange. As a result, they succeed in embracing a new culture while protecting their Bengali heritage. The novel depicts the life of an Indian couple (Ashoke and Ashima Ganguli) who settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1968. It describes the cultural challenges the heroine faces as she struggles to accommodate to a new Western society. Ashima clings tightly to her Bengali roots and identity, a fact which becomes apparent through the dilemma caused over naming their first baby. However, to survive the challenges of Massachusetts' society, Ashima welcomes its culture to a certain extent. Thus, she succeeds in overcoming feelings of loneliness and displacement. On the other hand, Ashoke's adjustment is less complicated. Although he copes with the new Western life faster, his respect for his native traditions is daily observed. His resentment of his children's attempt to give up their native identity is heartbreaking. Early in the novel, Gogol rejects symbols of his Indian culture, and later he repudiates his parents' style of life. Finally and after his father's death, Gogol's personal growth is associated not only with him welcoming his native culture, but also embracing both cultures in an excellent example of cultural hybridity.
