Authors: Reddy B. Ushasree , Pal Ranabir , Ghosh Amrita , Moscote-Salazar Luis Rafael , Reddy Vishnu Vardhan , Agrawal Amit
Published: September 2018

Tinnitus is a frequent clinical feature encountered during follow up of Traumatic brain injury (TBI) that can be incapacitating in the long run. Literature suggests that post-TBI carries a higher psychological burden than tinnitus patients presenting with other non-traumatic or unknown etiologic. Posttraumatic tinnitus is of longer duration, frequently associated with hyperacousis and occurs in younger age group. If the symptoms are severe post-traumatic tinnitus can affect quality of life of the patients. The management of these patients needs detail evaluation and comprehensive rehabilitation plan.

Authors: Solmaz İlknur , Kartal Esma , Sarı Nebahat
Published: September 2018

Kavunlarda hibrit tohum üretiminde zaman, işgücü ve verim kaybının önüne geçmek için andromonoik ana materyalde erkek kısırlık ya da erkek kısırlığa sebep olacak kimyasal hibridizasyon ajanları (KHA) kullanımı önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada bazı bitki türlerinde KHA olarak kullanılan ABA hormonunun Galia Fı kavun çeşidinde bitki gelişmesi, erkek çiçek oluşumu ve çiçek tozu kalitesi üzerine etkileri araştırılmıştır. Araştırmada ABA‘nın 250 ve 500 ppm‘lik iki dozu, fidelikte (F), serada ilk çiçeklenme döneminde askıya alınmış bitkilerde (İÇ) ve fidelik+ilk çiçeklenme dönemlerinde (F+İÇ) uygulanmıştır. Kontrol uygulamasındaki bitkilere ise sadece su püskürtülmüştür. Araştırma bulgularına göre, ABA‘nın 500 ppm‘lik dozunun F+İÇ ile F uygulamaları bitki gelişimini başlangıçta biraz baskılamış olmakla birlikte, sıcaklıkların yükselmesi ile bu etki ortadan kalkmıştır. ABA uygulamaları erkek çiçeklerin açmasını engellememiş olmakla beraber, erkek çiçek sayısı 500 ppm F+İÇ uygulamasında kontrole göre %62 oranında azalmıştır. Çiçek tozu canlılık ve çimlenmesi üzerine de ABA uygulamalarının kaliteyi arttırıcı bir etkisi olmamakla birlikte, canlılık ve çimlenme oranlarının %95‘in üzerinde olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Published: September 2018

Akdeniz diyeti, Akdeniz çevresinde farklı ülkelerde yaşayan insanların yıllar boyu sürdürdüğü benzer yeme alışkanlıklarının bütünü olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Genellikle zengin fitokimyasal içeriği, yüksek miktarda diyet lifi içermesi ve fermente gıdaların ön planda oluşunun sağlık üstünde olumlu etkileri olduğu düşünülmektedir. Akdeniz diyetinde yer alan gıdalar, tüm bu özelliklerinin yanı sıra, melatonin bulundurması ile de öne çıkmaktadır. Melatonin zorunlu bir aminoasit olan triptofandan sentezlenen, bilinen en güçlü antioksidandır. Antioksidan, anti-inflamatuvar, antikanser özellik göstermesinin yanı sıra kardiyovasküler hastalıklar üzerinde iyileştirici etkisi ve vücuttaki sirkadyen ritimden sorumlu olması sağlık üzerinde geniş çapta ve oldukça fazla olumlu etkisi bulunduğunu göstermektedir. Melatonin içeren gıdaların tüketilmesi ile serum melatonin konsantrasyonları artmaktadır. Dolayısıyla, Akdeniz diyetinde bulunan gıdaların tüketimiyle, içeriklerindeki polifenollerin, diğer biyoaktif bileşenlerin melatoninle birlikte sinerjistik etki yaratması ve diyetten sağlanacak yararın maksimum düzeye çıkması beklenmektedir. Bu derlemede Akdeniz diyetinde yer alan gıdalar, bu gıdaların melatonin içerikleri ve tüketimleri sonucu beklenen sağlık faydaları üzerine odaklanılmıştır.

Development of Non-Contact Liquid Level Measurement and Data Storage System
Authors: Rashid Muhammad Mahbubur , Mamun Abdullah Al , Jaafar Abdul Hassan , Mollik Md. Sajib
Published: September 2018

The normal contact type liquid measurement devices have some drawbacks since they have potential damage due to the sensor fouling or corrosion since those are continuously exposed to the liquid. Especially flash flood may cause the damage of liquid level sensor. So that, it is important to design a non-contact device for liquid level measurement in order to avoid this constrain. Distance can be measured without contact such as laser, ultrasonic and radar. In this research, ultrasonic sensor is used to provide non-contact feature of the device since it is low cost and uses ultra-sound waves rather than light. This vital sensing device is able to sense uneven surfaces, liquids, clear objects, and objects in dirty environments. This paper discussed the measurement of liquid level in a tank as well as storing historical data.

Relics of Some Old Russian Linguistics Features in Modern Russian
Authors: Galinskaya E. A.
Published: September 2018

This paper‘s aim is to identy some Old Russian lingustic relics in present-day Russian. For this purpose, the method of comparison of synchronous linguistic levels is used. Most elements of the Old Russian linguistic system have undergone some kind of evolution; some of them disappeared completely (e.g., relativizers to and že), or stayed unchanged (e.g., the declension in singular of feminine *ĭ-stem nouns), or survived only in some dialects (e.g., infinitive r’uti), or are absent from the standard language, but exist in the colloquial language and dialects (e.g., indefinite pronouns identical to interrogative pronouns). Some features are present in the Russian language as unique relics only. Such relics are manifold and sometimes not easily recognizable.
Neography and Word of the Year
Authors: Butseva T. N. , Ridetskaya Yu. S.
Published: September 2018

The article deals with the relationship between the terms «word of the year» and «neologism of the year», and the examples are the words, annually nominating as «word of the year», and neologisms of the last few years. The main research methods are statistical, comparative, and lexicographic description. Usually nomination «Word of the year» presents words, long-existing in the Russian language, borrowings, as well as author’s occasionalisms. The cultural and social aspects prevail in this campaign, while linguistic aspects are not involved. It seems that the verbal image of the year is a more complex and mosaic phenomenon. It can be reconstructed with the help of representative linguistic data scrupulously collected by lexicographers.
Perfiles neuropsicológicos en una muestra de niños escolarizados de ambos sexos de 5 a 15 años con diagnóstico de TDAH en la ciudad de Manizales
Authors: Varela Cifuentes Vilma
Published: September 2018

El propósito de esta investigación fue analizar las características neuropsicológicas de niños, niñas y jóvenes con diagnóstico de TDAH, con edades comprendidas entre 5 a 15 años y un grupo control de la ciudad de Manizales. Se seleccionaron 184 participantes a quienes se administraron tareas de la batería ENI (2007). El diseño fue de corte trasversal no experimental de tipo descriptivo-comparativo entre tres subgrupos: TDAH inatento, TDAH combinado y control. Los resultados evidenciaron una amplia heterogeneidad en el funcionamiento neuropsicológico de los participantes con diagnóstico de TDAH, comparados con los controles. Los dominios cognitivos que presentaron mayor número de variables con diferencias estadísticamente significativas fueron la atención visual condicionada (Paradigma AX) en el tipo de errores, la memoria verbal-auditiva y el lenguaje (seguimiento de instrucciones y habilidades metalingüísticas). Las mayores diferencias en los grupos se observaron entre el subtipo combinado e inatento. En el funcionamiento ejecutivo, y contrario a lo esperado, el grupo control no se diferenció significativamente con respecto a los subtipos de TDAH, excepto en la variable total de errores. Estos hallazgos, contrastados con la literatura en el campo, permiten confirmar la heterogeneidad neuropsicológica del TDAH, lo cual tiene implicaciones a la luz de los modelos neurocognitivos propuestos para la comprensión del fenómeno.

Authors: Gupta Vandana , J Anandkumar
Published: September 2018

In this study, separation of protein (bovine serum albumin (BSA)) was carried out by ceramic microfiltration membranes. Ceramic membranes were fabricated by using fly-ash with different proportion (2-8 wt%) of fuller clay and fraction (20 wt%) of inorganic additives. Synthesized ceramic membranes were characterized using scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction analysis, mechanical-chemical stability, porosity and pure water flux. It was observed that the mechanical and chemical stability of ceramic membrane increases with increase in fuller clay’s content. Ceramic membrane with 8% fuller clay (C4) exhibited maximum flexural strength of 20 MPa. C4 membrane also shows least porosity of 29.9%, permeability of 0.397 L m-2h-1kPa-1, 20.15% water uptake capacity and 0.428 μm average pore radius. The BSA rejection efficiency of C4 membrane was studied for different operating parameter such as feed concentration (200-1000 mg/L), feed pH (2-10) and applied pressure (68-482 kPa). Maximum BSA rejection (82%) and flux (81 L m-2 h-1) has been observed at optimized condition (208 kPa, natural pH and 200 mg/L concentration). The results obtained in this work indicate that synthesized membrane could be used as proficient microfiltration membrane for protein rejection applications.

Delivering Precision Behavior Change Through Digital Medicine
Authors: Wongvibulsin Shannon , Martin Seth S. , Saria Suchi , Zeger Scott L. , Murphy Susan A.
Published: September 2018

Although the global burden of chronic diseases is rapidly growing, there is currently a mismatch between therapies that the healthcare system is equipped to provide and the interventions demonstrated to address the root causes of these chronic diseases. Since the underlying causes of chronic diseases are substantially lifestyle related, effective therapies require frequent, individualized behavioral interventions, but the intensive care that is traditionally provided in an effort to change behavior does not scale to meet the population’s chronic disease demands. This paper presents an alternative, scalable, technology-enabled framework for behavior change: we propose a “digital therapy” approach that comprises 1. precise targeting of the risk-producing behavior using real-time sensing technology, 2. predictive data analysis to identify the most effective intervention, and 3. delivery of that intervention with health-reinforcing feedback.

Fourth, reliability reports still do not reflect the real conditions that occur in the field at the same time it shows the achievement of the organization's mission is not optimal, so it can bring the understanding that the management of the reclame tax cannot be said to be accountable in terms of the fulfillment of targets and mission of the organization.
Maternal Executive Function and the Family Food Environment: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Bauer Katherine , Weeks Heidi M. , Lumeng Julie C. , Miller Alison , Gearhardt Ashley N.
Published: September 2018

Background: Individuals with lower executive function (EF) have poorer quality dietary intake and are more likely to experience obesity, in part because of their limited ability to resist impulses and implement routines that promote healthy eating. It is unknown whether these negative impacts of lower EF among parents extend to the parenting practices and routines that support children’s healthy eating and weight. The purpose of the current study is to examine associations between mothers’ EF and characteristics of the family food environment that support children’s healthy eating.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in August 2017 via Amazon Mechanical Turk of US-based mothers of 2 to 9-year-old children (N=492). EF was measured using the Behavior Rating of Executive Function-Adult Version. Family food environment characteristics were measured via self-report surveys. Standardized, linear regression models were used to examine covariate-adjusted associations and the potential for different associations between mothers’ EF and family food environment characteristics by family socio-demographics. Results: Low EF among mothers was associated with less engagement in positive food-related parenting practices and less presence of healthy family food environment characteristics including providing family meals, implementing consistent mealtime schedules and structure, and avoiding using food to regulate children’s emotions. Few differences in these associations were observed by mothers’ educational attainment, household income-to-needs ratio, or child age.Conclusions and Implications: Maternal EF is associated with several features of the family food environment. Lower EF among mothers may interfere with their ability to implement recommending parenting practices that support children’s healthy eating and weight.
An induced successful performance enhances student self-efficacy and boosts academic achievement
Authors: Uchida Akitoshi , Michael Robert B , Mori Kazuo
Published: September 2018

A growing body of correlational research finds a relationship between self-efficacy—beliefs in one's capabilities—and academic success. But few studies have investigated whether self-efficacy is causally related to academic success. We hypothesized that an experience of success would promote self-efficacy in junior high school students and would lead to academic improvements. To induce an experience of success, we secretly presented easy anagrams to target students (41 males and 43 females; 12-13 years old) who then outperformed their classmates (116 males and 115 females). We assessed students’ self-efficacy and academic achievement scores before and after the anagram tasks. We found that the success-induced students raised their self-efficacy, and this elevated self-efficacy persisted for as long as one year. Moreover, success-induced males eventually showed significant improvement in their academic achievement. These results provide a real-world experimental enactment of Bandura’s self-efficacy theory, and have implications for the practices of educational practitioners.
Learned object-specific invariances are revealed by the effect of intensity on environmental sound recognition
Authors: Norman-Haignere Sam , Mcdermott Josh
Published: September 2018

The central challenge of recognition is that similar entities in the world do not always produce similar sensory signals. One solution to this challenge could be to generically remove or separate irrelevant sources of variation from object representations. Alternatively, robust recognition might entail learning the extent and type of variation encountered for particular object classes. The effect of sound intensity on auditory recognition provides a simple test of the two hypotheses for real-world sounds, because canonically quiet sounds (e.g. salt-shakers) are not normally encountered with high intensities at the ear. We measured the effect of intensity on the recognition of common environmental sounds. For canonically loud sounds (e.g. jackhammers), recognition improved with intensity. But for canonically quiet sounds, recognition peaked at moderate intensities and declined thereafter. These results suggest that even basic forms of invariance are at least in part learned individually for object classes rather than instantiated generically.
Societal Values in Jewish State Religious and State Secular Schools in Israel
Authors: Katz Yaacov J
Published: September 2018

The Israeli Jewish educational system offers mandatory religious and heritage education specially tailored to the specific needs of the state religious and state secular sectors of the Israeli population. In both state religious and state secular schools, study about Jewish religion, Jewish tradition, Jewish history, and Jewish culture falls under the category of religious and heritage education and, as such, addresses the normative societal values common to both sectors in Israeli Jewish society. In state religious schools religious and heritage education is both faith and knowledge based and is characterized by an emphasis on religious themes underlying societal values, whereas in state secular schools religious and heritage education is entirely knowledge based with emphasis on the secular character of societal values. In the present study a questionnaire designed to examine the values of Jewish identity, Jewish tradition, Jewish peoplehood, humanism and universalism was administered to 84 eleventh grade students in Israeli state religious and state secular high schools. Results of the study indicate that while students in the state religious high school hold significantly more intense attitudes toward Jewish identity, Jewish peoplehood and Jewish tradition, students in the state secular high school exhibited significantly more intense attitudes toward humanism and universalism. The results of the study were explained in light of the different emphases characterizing religious and heritage education studied in state religious and state secular high schools and the resulting differences in the intensity of the influence of religiosity or secularity on the formation of societal values of students in the two educational sectors.

Authors: Alkhayatt Adel H.Omran , Abed Abdul Wahab H Azhar , Ali Abdulhussein Hameed Ali
Published: September 2018

Au nanoparticles doped CuZnS (CZS) thin films were deposited by spray pyrolysis method (SPD) onto glass and silicon substrates at temperature of 330 ºC and annealed at 450ºC. Cu:Zn:S content was 1:1:2 and Au NPs dopant ratio was 4%, 6% and 8%. The structural, surface morphology, optical and photodetector properties were investigated with respect to the dopant concentration. X–Ray diffraction patterns indicate that the films have low crystallinity and polycrystalline structure nature with ZnS sphalerite cubic phase. The intensity of diffraction peaks and the crystallite size increased with the increase of Au Np's dopant ratio.  The SEM images show a homogeneous and smooth uniform surface. Also AFM images reveals that the roughness increased from1.95 nm for CZS (1:1:2) to 2.64 nm for CZS:Au (4%), 4.86 nm for CZS:Au (6%) and 3.82 nm for CZS:Au (8%)  thin films, these increases could be probably due to the increasing concentration of atomic gold in the CZS thin films, The average grain diameter was evaluated from the plane view images for 68.99 CZS 1:1:2 and CZS:Au NPs was (93.59–102.07 nm). Au Np's dopant ratio, the lower band gap corresponds to CuxS phase and double band gap confirms the alloy nature of material. The decreased in energy band gap after increasing of Au Np's dopant ratio can be attributed to the red shift of the absorption edge and to the improvement in the crystallinity, increase of Au Np's ratio leads to decrease band gap from 2.5 eV to 2.39 eV. Photodetectors CuZnS: Au Np's/Si were synthesized and I–V characteristics have been investigated, the results showed that the photocurrent increased from 0.0 to (8.65×10-7 A, 5.62×10-6 A and 5.03 ×10-6 A)   at the bias voltage range of 0– 2V under illumination, and from 0.0 to (3.49 ×10-7 A, 1.9 ×10-6 A and 3.14 ×10-6A)  in the dark for CZS:Au NPs (4%, 6% and 8%) ratio, respectively. Under applied voltage of 2V, the response time was (0.8, 0.5 and 1.5 sec) respectively; whereas the recovery time was (0.6, 0.9 and 1.35 sec) and the sensitivity increased from 42.86% to 122.73%.

The present study aims to detect the impact of both Chernobyl reactor explosion, Fokushima reactor destruction and the oil industries in the study region environments. The results of the soil and sediment analysis showed that there is an impact of Chernobyl accident. There are observed concentrations for the 137Cs; in addition to the effect of the oil industries in the soil, sediments, and Acanthopagrus arabicus fish and Kladophora crusbate plant. This was proved by measuring the concentrations of Radium isotopes in the amounts above the allowable rates globally and locally. The results of the current study showed that the rates of Potassium 40 were the most prominent in fish samples and the Kladophora crusbate plant, which represents the predominant radiation activity and it is within the permitted natural range. The results of this study can be considered as a basis for monitoring of the future changes.

Published: September 2018

The purpose of the work is to calculate VVER-1200 neutron-physical characteristics that are important for safety using MCU Monte Carlo code for an independent verification of the accuracy of design calculations of the first fuel cycle. The calculations were carried out before the startup of the first VVER-1200 power unit. A full-scale computer model of VVER-1200 was developed using the design documentation of the fuel assemblies and the reactor facility. Special attention was given to the accurate specification of the geometry and material description of the core and its immediate environment. The full-scale VVER-1200 model allows performing Monte Carlo calculation of some safety-relevant characteristics for which it is impossible or extremely difficult to carry out full-scale reactor experiments. In total, more than 110 different states were calculated; five states were calculated taking feedbacks into account. For all calculations, the neutron-physical characteristics obtained by means of the MCU code were used to verify the BIPR-7A and the PERMAK-A codes.

In 2016 OECD put forward a routine problem to simulate the operation conditions in VVER-1000 reactor of Rostov NPP unit No. 2 taking into account control rod motions. The participants were encouraged to simulate the integrated process and obtain the indications of the hot leg temperature control sensors depending on control rod motions. The data from in the experiment at 75% nominal power was selected for the first test carried out in the frames of the international task. Insertion of the 10th and 9th CPS rod groups into the core without driving was carried out in the low power testing experiments at Rostov NPP unit No. 2 (May 31, 2010). The task was split into several subtasks, each with its own specifics. One of such subtasks is focused on the simulation of the standard temperature control indications at the FA outlet. The way of solving the abovementioned subtask is reflected in the present report.

Published: September 2018

The 2-D benchmark related to the “full-core” of VVER-1000 was proposed at the AER working group A&B meeting in 2015. Such type of benchmarks requires the adequate specification of the volume surrounding the core where geometry is complex enough. The proposed benchmarks have been solved using the codes included into the software package KASKAD. The data calculated by the engineering codes have been compared with the calculation results of the Monte-Carlo code MCU.

Published: September 2018

Throughout the existence of VVER-440 reactors, their fuel design was always subject to ongoing improvements. By the moment, extensive computations and RD&D have been performed to evaluate the feasibility of further improvement of VVER-440 fuel cycles and fuel design. This paper discusses computational assessments of basic neutronic parameters of prospective fuel cycles based on newly-designed fuel assemblies, namely RK3+, slim rod and RK3+SR. RK3+ stands for shroud less fuel assemblies with wide angle bars instead of shrouds and optimized pitches between fuel rods. Slim Rod means shrouded fuel assemblies with rods whose external diameter was reduced to 8.9 mm. RK3+SR is an abbreviation for shroud less fuel assemblies with wide angle bars instead of shrouds and rods whose external diameter was reduced to 8.9 mm. This paper demonstrates that, in the countries operating VVERs-440, a transition to new fuel design would improve both the energy output and the fuel cycle economy.

Published: September 2018

The Refueling Neutron Monitoring System and the Reactivity Monitoring System for startup measurements are both aged, the development of a new combined system fulfilling both functionalities has therefore been started. The new system is based on 6 autonomous measurement chains covering the whole neutron flux range and uses fixed fission chambers. The signals of the measurement chains are received by two redundant processing systems continuously providing measured and calculated data for external systems like the VERONA core monitoring system. The system generates emergency signals and events for the operators of the Main Control Room and the Refueling Machine. The pilot measurement chain has been tested at Units 2 and 3 of Paks NPP. The first implementation of the new system is planned to be installed at Unit 3 by the middle of the following year.
