Background and Aim:

Clinical grading of aortic stenosis (AS) is currently performed non-invasively by Doppler transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) through measurement of aortic peak velocity, mean transaortic pressure gradient, and aortic valve area (AVA). The objective of the study was to evaluate the effective valve area through an intraoperative invasive measurement using various dimensions of Hegar, to evaluate the effective valve area, respecting the valve opening, in the absence of deformation of the valve cusps themselves.

Methods:

From March 2017 to April 2018, 60 of patients who underwent elective aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis, where also subjected to intraoperative invasive measurement with Hegar. 18 patients (30%) had a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). All patients underwent preoperative TTE and intraoperative trans-esophageal echocardiogram (TEE).

Results:

Intraoperative invasive measurement through Hegar showed a total correspondence in aortic valvular area calculated preoperatively by means of TTE and TEE in presence of BAV (P = NS). Instead, in presence of a morphologically tricuspid aortic valve a statistically significant difference (P = 0.001) was highlighted between AVA calculated using non-invasive tests, and invasive measurement by means of Hegar. The last one showed a higher value in comparison with TTE and TEE.

Conclusions:

AVA is an excellent evaluation parameter in presence of BAV stenosis. Instead, in tricuspid aortic valve stenosis, other parameters should be considered, because preoperative AVA is not the only parameter of certainty for the evaluation of the severity degree of stenosis. The greatest limitation is the small number of sample and consequently a larger study is necessary.

Blockchains, Property Rights and Health Technology Assessment in the Pharmaceutical and Device(s) Industries
Authors: Langley Paul , Martin Robert E
Published: November 2018

Ongoing concerns with the security of health information, both from the perspective of the individual patient as well as health systems has led to increased attention being given to the potential role of blockchain technology in the secure storage of health information through encryption, the integration of diverse health record systems and the vesting of property and access rights to health data in the patient. While the security offered by blockchain technology has long been recognized in the finance sector with the emergence of a range of cryptocurrencies as a medium of exchange and store of value, demonstrating the value of blockchain technology in health management and health technology assessment has yet to be achieved. In this commentary, a number of questions are raised as to the potential value offered by blockchain technology as a complement to existing electronic medical record systems. Chief among these are: (i) the allocation of property rights as a necessary precondition for blockchain uptake; (ii) access and incentives for active as opposed to passive blockchain membership; (iii) monetization of blockchain access; (iv) capturing data from within the blockchain and the possibility of value added data; (v) the potential for blockchain platforms in formulary evaluations; (vi) the blockchain as a managed market for health data; and (vii) the role of intermediation in blockchain management.

Liquid limit determination of various sand clay mixtures by Casagrande and fall cone test methods
Authors: KARAKAN Eyyüb , DEMİR Süleyman
Published: November 2018

This study aims to evaluate the liquid limit of various sand-clay mixtures obtained from both Casagrande and fall-cone test. Two types of clay (bentonite/kaolinite) were mixed with quartz and fine sand (FS) at mixture ratios of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100% by dry weight. The results indicated that fall cone penetration was governed by the water content of sand-clay mixtures. Cone penetration of sand decreased with 30% kaolinite addition whereas then increased interval between 30% to 100% kaolinite, but for bentonite, it increased from 0% to 100% bentonite content at constant water contents. Different equations between Casagrande and fall cone tests were proposed for different mixture types. Liquid limit values for both methods were found to be greater for bentonite-sand mixtures that kaolinite-sand mixtures. 
Tunable Plasmonic Colours by Atomic Layer Deposition of Alumina

Published: November 2018

We report the tuning of plasmonic colours on silver by controlling the thickness of alumina films deposited via atomic layer deposition. The colours are observed to shift with increasing alumina film thickness. Colour palettes produced with periodic topographical features are observed to recover their original vibrancy and Hue range after the deposition of a film thickness of ~ 60 nm while colours devoid of such topographical features are observed to gradually fade and their colour intensities are never recovered collapsing into a small visually unappealing region of the LCH color space. Analysis of the surfaces identifies the periodic topographical features as responsible for this behavior. Finite-difference time-domain simulations of flat and sine-modulated surfaces covered with nanoparticles and covered by a conformal alumina film were conducted to unravel the role played by the ALD thickness on the colour formation, where colour rotations and recovery were also observed. The coloured surfaces were evaluated for applications in colourimetric and radiometric sensing showing large sensitivities of up to 3.06/nm and 3.19 nm/nm, respectively. The colourimetric and radiometric sensitivities are ob-served to be colour dependent.
ONIOM(QM:QM') Electrostatic Embedding Schemes for Photochemistry in Molecular Crystals
Authors: Rivera Miguel , Dommett Michael , Crespo Otero Rachel
Published: November 2018

Understanding photoinduced processes in molecular crystals is central to the design of highly emissive materials such as organic lasers and organic light-emitting diodes. The modelling of such processes is, however, hindered by the lack of excited state methodologies tailored for these systems. Embedding approaches based on the Ewald sum can be used in conjunction with excited state electronic structure methods to model the localised excitations which characterise these materials. In this article, we describe the implementation of a two-level ONIOM(QM:QM') point charge embedding approach based on the Ewald method, the Ewald Embedded Cluster (EEC) model. An alternative self-consistent method is also considered to simulate the response of the environment to the excitation. Two molecular crystals with opposing photochemical behaviour were used to benchmark the results with single reference and multireference methods. We observed that the inclusion of an explicit ground state cluster surrounding the QM region was imperative for the exploration of the excited state potential energy surfaces. Using EEC, accurate absorption and emission energies as well as S1-S0 conical intersections were obtained for both crystals. We discuss the implications of the use of these embedding schemes considering the degree of localisation of the excitation. The methods discussed herein are implemented in an open source platform (fromage, https://github.com/Crespo-Otero-group/fromage) which acts as an interface between popular electronic structure codes (Gaussian, Turbomole and Molcas).

Published: November 2018

Biological and bioinspired polymer microparticles have broad biomedical and industrial applications, including drug delivery, tissue engineering, surface modification, environmental remediation, imaging, and sensing. Full realization of the potential of biopolymer microparticles will require methods for rigorous characterization of particle sizes, morphologies, and dynamics, so that researchers may correlate particle characteristics with synthesis methods and desired functions. Toward this end, we evaluated biopolymer microparticles using flow imaging microscopy. This technology is widely used in the biopharmaceutical industry but is not yet well-known among the materials community. Our polymer, a genetically engineered elastin-like polypeptide (ELP), self-assembles into micron-scale coacervates. We performed flow imaging of ELP coacervates using two different instruments, one with a lower size limit of approximately 2 microns, the other with a lower size limit of approximately 300 nanometers. We validated flow imaging results by comparison with dynamic light scattering and atomic force microscopy analyses. We explored the effects of various solvent conditions on ELP coacervate size, morphology, and behavior, such as the dispersion of single particles versus aggregates. We found that flow imaging is a superior tool for rapid and thorough particle analysis of ELP coacervates in solution. We anticipate that researchers studying many types of microscale protein or polymer assemblies will be interested in flow imaging as a tool for quantitative, solution-based characterization.

EFL TEACHERSâ€™ REFLECTION IN TEACHING ENGLISH TO EFL STUDENTS OF RURAL AREAS
Authors: Saiful Jepri Ali , Triyono Sulis
Published: November 2018

Theoretical and empirical grounds suggest that the discussions on the practices of teaching English in rural area are limited in numbers. Ergo the voices, challenges, and recommendations echoed by EFL teachers of rural areas remain unexplored. This study is thus to shed light on the voices, challenges, and recommendations of EFL rural teachers in teaching EFL to students of rural areas. This study used qualitative research method with multiple case study design. The participants were two EFL service teachers teaching English in Pegunungan Bintang in Papua and Talaud Island in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The data collection techniques were teaching reflection writing journal and phone and WhatsApp call semi-structured interview. This study extended our knowledge that teacher-centered learning was not always perceived to be a left-behind and invaluable teaching approach. This study revealed that teacher-centered learning, which the teachers became the sources of knowledge, was an appropriate teaching approach to teach English to students of rural areas. Moreover, this study found that lack of facilities and learning recourses as well as studentsâ€™ low motivation and proficiency in English language were main challenges faced by EFL teachers in rural areas. Therefore, shared-recommendations were given by the participants to English teacher candidates taking career to be English teachers in rural areas. First, English teacher candidates should have or build strong and good characters. Meaning, they have to be discipline, creative, innovative, patient, firm and adaptable. These characters are non-negotiable for other English teacher candidates teaching English in any region as well. Second, English teacher candidates should take into account studentsâ€™ competency and social condition of learning to make students succeed in target language. Third, they had better use teacher talk and caretaker speech to explain English teaching materials or topics to the students.

Authors: Febriyanti Emma Rosana
Published: November 2018

Teaching is a lifelong learning process and even if a teacher may have years of experience in teaching English as a foreign language, one might not know whether he/she has become a good teacher or not. The perceptions about a â€œgoodâ€ English language teacher have been varied among the language learners and the teachers themselves. However, it is important to find out what kind of a â€œgoodâ€ English language teacher based on learnersâ€™ perceptions in order to discover what they believe and what they expect from their English teachers when they are learning the language. This present study aims at investigating and describing the qualities or the characteristics of a good English teacher based on the learners perceptions. The population for this study are the students of English Department of FKIP Lambung Mangkurat University Banjarmasin in three batches (batch 2015, 2016, and 2017), and when the time data collected they were at the sixth, the fourth and the second semester. The questionnaire given is in the form of close-ended questions and analysed quantitatively. The findings of this study are expected to help teachers to reflect or evaluate themselves and refresh their teaching practice when necessary, as well as for their own improvement and further professional development.

Nowadays, the lack of opportunity for students to practice speaking in English classroom makes them difficult to improve their speaking ability. Therefore, this study will address PMI, stands for Plus, Minus and Interesting strategy that can encourage students to speak by thinking the plus, minus and interesting points of the topic. This study used Quasi-Experimental research for the students at second grade of SMP-IT As-Salam Ambon. It is aimed to find out whether the students who are taught by using PMI strategy had better achievement in their speaking ability rather than those who are taught by using Question and Answer strategy. This study was conducted during 8 meetings. First meeting was the pre-test, 6 meetings were the treatment and the last meeting was the post-test. The result reveal that after PMI strategy had been applied, the students in experimental class was significantly had better achievement in speaking ability than the students in control class based on their pre-test and post-test result. Thus, PMI strategy could influence studentsâ€™ speaking ability because it can open the opportunity for the students to elaborate their ideas, to help them make a decision in a short time and to increase their participation in speaking activity.

Document: An Axiological Aspect
Authors:   Perm Institute of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia, Perm, Russian Federation, Ginatulina Olga A.
Published: November 2018

The article analyzes the phenomenon of document as assessed in the study of value. To begin with, it poses a problem of contradictory axiological status of document in modern society. On the one hand, document is objectively important, as it completes certain practical tasks, and yet, on the other hand, documents and document management are receive a negative assessment in public consciousness. In order to understand this situation, the article analyzes the concept of ‘value’ and concludes that certain objects of the material world receive this status, if they are included in public practice and promote progress of society or human development. Although this abstract step towards a better understanding of values does not provide a comprehensive answer to the question of axiological nature of document, it however indicates a trend in development of thought towards analysis of the development of human nature. The document is an artifact that objectifies and reifies a certain side of human nature. Human nature is a heterogeneous phenomenon and exists on two levels. The first abstract level is represented by the human race and embodies the full range of universal features of humanity. The second level is the specific embodiment of generic universal human nature in specific historical type of individuals. Between these two levels there is a contradiction. On the one hand, man by nature tends toward universality, on the other hand, realization of his nature is limited by the frameworks of historical era and contributes to the development of only one side of the race. Accordingly, document has value only within a certain historical stage and conflicts with the trend of universal development of human nature, and thus receives a negative evaluation. However, emergence of a new type of work (general scientific work) will help to overcome this alienation between generic and limited individual human being, and therefore will make a great impact on the nature of document, making it more ‘human,’ thus increasing its value in the eyes of society.
Structure and Size of the Ukrainian Army in the Russo-Polish War of 1654-1656: Documents of the Little Russia Office from the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, St. Petersburg. Russian Federation, Tairova-Yakovleva Tatiana G.
Published: November 2018

The article draws on previously unknown documents from the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts to study structure and size of the Ukrainian army under command of I. Zolotarenko, which participated in the Russo-Polish war of 1654-1655. This war with the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was an important event in the history of Central and Eastern Europe, and the first success of a joint Ukrainian-Russian military action in the early modern period. Contrary to the prevailing opinion of the historiography, registers on pay distribution preserved in the ‘Little Russia affairs’ fond allow to assert that I. Zolotarenko’s army numbered 18,000 in enlisted ranks (not counting starshinas); it was divided in 6 regiments and included in addition to registered Cossacks, volunteer Cossacks, hajduks, and German mercenaries. Apropos, this refutes the prevailing assertion that the Zaporozhian Host enlisted no foreign mercenaries. The author also concludes that there was a good reason for Zolotarenko to call himself ‘Severian Hetman.’ He created a kind of ‘superstructure’ over the regiments participating in the campaign, which included army (but not regiment) officers and his own ‘court.’ The documents in question give a sense of how the Ukrainian Hetmanate organized its military campaigns under the direction of specially appointed hetmans. Article also refutes the opinion of modern Ukrainian historians that while administering the oath of regiments in February 1654, the tsar's representatives mechanically transferred whole paragraphs from Cossack registers. In fact, oath books’ structure was fundamentally different from that of Cossack registers. The article also expounds the changes in administrative structure of the hetmanship occurred in 1654. Since the register of I. Zolotarenko's troops is the third list of registered Cossacks known to historians, it is obviously worth publishing. Moreover, the troops’ structure of the Ukrainian hetmanate dovetailed its administrative-territorial division, which underlay all its executive and judicial structures.
Petersburg Collection of the ‘Hermetic Library’ of N. I. Novikov as the Heritage of Russian Rosicrucians from Ancient Greece to the 18th Century
Authors:   A. I. Herzen Russian State Pedagogical University, St. Petersburg, Russian Federation, Kondakov Yuri E.
Published: November 2018

The article gives the first extensive review of the multivolume ‘Hermetic Library.’ It is stored in the Research Division of Manuscripts of the Russian National Library. This collection includes translations from European authors from Ancient Greece to the 18th century. Some manuscripts of the ‘Hermetic Library’ collection were believed by the Order of the Golden and Pink Cross to belong to the legendary Rosicrucians. The Order of the Golden and Pink Cross emerged in the 18th century within the Masonic movement. Until early 19th century the Order, mostly focused on alchemy, developed as a branch of Freemasonry. In 1782 the Order of the Golden and Pink Cross opened its subdivision in Russia. Having survived a number of prohibitions, the organization of Russian Rosicrucians continued until early 20th century. The ‘Hermetic Library’ is the largest literary heritage of Russian Rosicrucians. The ‘Hermetic Library’ was started by educator and book publisher N. I. Novikov in early 19th century. It was Europe’s largest collection of alchemical and Rosicrucian works of the time. The library was to be kept secret and be used for education of the Order members. Two collections of the library fell into hands of different groups of Rosicrucians. The Moscow collection was kept in Arsenyev's family. The Petersburg collection passed from hand to hand; in late 19th century it was put up for sale. Only after 1917 the two collections of the ‘Hermetic Library’ were acquired by libraries of Moscow and St. Petersburg. The study of the St. Petersburg collection shows that it was copied and translated by several Rosicrucians. After Novikov’s death in 1818, two different groups continued the library, and volumes following the 30th differ in content and design. Novikov’s library included manuscripts on the development of alchemy from Ancient Egypt and to 18th century Europe. They included the most important Rosicrucian works. 35 volumes of the St. Petersburg collection include 191 works. The volumes were compiled to insure consistent training of the Order adepts. The article analyses the St. Petersburg collection of the ‘Hermetic library.’ Within the frameworks of an article it is impossible to review the contents every volume. It offers a summary of the history of writing and storage of the library until the 20th century and an overview of the volumes’ design and layout, which allows to judge the overall design of the library. It also compares the St. Petersburg collection and the Moscow one.

The article reviews major milestones in the history of the Communist University of the Toilers of the East (KUTV) and its role in formation of the Soviet-centric political avant-garde in some countries of the East. The creation of this educational institution was connected with the resolution of the Central Committee of the RCP(b) оf January 21, 1921 On Organization of the Eastern Courses under the People's Commissariat of Nationalities (Narkomnats), later enshrined in the decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee (April 21, 1921). The university firmly established itself within the vast network of international institutions of the Comintern. Although it had never been quantitatively dominant in the institute, the Sector ‘A’ (or the Special Sector, or the Inosektor, as this department for international students was known in different periods) was crucial for the development of its complex system, as the policy of the 3rd International formed the core of its activities. The modest historiography on the history of the university in the Soviet period describes its development as overcoming difficulties in on-going forward movement. A more comprehensive picture emerges in the documents from the KUTV archival fond stored in the RGASPI (fond 532). 12,000 files of the fond include about 10,000 personal files of students and teachers. They show the sinuosities of the KUTV history from its organization to high noon of its activities and to its end in consequence of the restructuring of the party education system in the USSR in 1938. The university accumulated unique experience of training almost illiterate people to become middle-ranking executives in a very short time. A considerable part of the future leaders of colonial countries passed through the university. This Comintern coordinated process secured Soviet national interests. The university also laid the basis for Soviet Oriental studies. All this does not allow to call the university a purely propagandistic institution for ‘export’ of the world revolution and prompts to look behind utilitarian ideological clich?s. The article studies its unique experience in forming the national elites of the Oriental countries, which were to become communist champions of world revolution, and thus provides a professional-level picture of the university organization and management that recognized special nature of the multiethnic student body. It introduces statistical and personal data on the graduates that prove the efficiency of the university. The study may be of interest to political technologists, who determine mode of modern universities’ interaction with the Oriental countries.
The Third Reich Documents on the ?vian Conference of 1938: Conniving Indifference of World Powers towards Nazis’ Anti-Semitic Policies

The year 2018 is the 80th anniversary of the international conference on refugees held on July 5-16, 1938 in a French town of ?vian. Despite great significance of the refugee problem in the modern world, the history of the ?vian conference remains on the periphery of historical science. There are no studies of the topic in Russian scholarship; the Western historiography on the conniving indifference of the world powers towards Nazi anti-Semitic policies, which resulted in the Holocaust, is scarce. The object of this study is the 1938 international ?vian conference on refugees and its reflection in sources and scholarship. The subject of the study is previously unpublished German documents on the ?vian conference stored in the fond of the ‘Chief Directorate for Imperial Security’ in the Russian State Military Archive (RGVA). The purpose of the article is to give a new interpretation of the role of Germany in the ?vian conference drawing on German documents on the ?vian conference from the fonds of the RGVA and to show the historical significance of the conference for the Nazis’ turn towards the Final Solution to the Jewish Question. The tasks of the article are to use traditional methods of historical research to study new German sources on the topic of the study. The documents have been translated in Russian in order to put them into source and literary context and to provide their scientific interpretation. For the first time in Russian historiography, the article notes that at the ?vian conference the German Jews submitted a memorandum with a 4-year plan of emigration of 200,000 Jews from Germany, but their action-oriented proposals were buried in platitudes. The conference participants’ speeches demonstrated the unwillingness of the majority of countries to open their borders to refugees from the Third Reich. The study concludes that the failure of the ?vian conference opened the door to the Holocaust. The significance of the study is due not just to the 80th anniversary of the ?vian conference, but also to the urgency of the refugee problem in Europe and worldwide.
In Search of Sources for Studying Russian Social History of 1990s: Materials from the Archive of the Kuban State University

Although the last decade of the 20th century is the most important stage in the development of modern Russia, the historiography on social history of the period is insufficient as archival sources on the social history of 1990s are difficult to identify. While studying life trajectories of young people who were entering adulthood at the end of the Soviet era and had to work out new strategies for self-realization during global social transformations, the author has found it difficult to search for adequate sources. These have been eventually found in the archive of the Kuban State University. The article assesses informative potential of educational records of students. They are useful for studying several important issues of social history of 1990s: social mobility of the population, educational and professional strategies of the youth, gender history. New Russian realities had an impact on the fates of 1992 and 1993 graduates of the full-time department of the historical faculty of the Kuban State University — they are to become a target group of sociological study planned by the author. With a series of interviews in view, the author has analyzed documents in graduates’ educational records, which are preserved in the archive of the Kuban State University: applications for entrance examinations admission, characteristics from schools, certificates of employment, recommendations, referrals, examination answer sheets, grade records, student ID cards, health certificates. This information provides a collective portrait of graduates, who received a diploma of ‘historian’ in the period of change. The analysis of documents from graduates’ educational records helped to select future respondents and develop an interview form. The author believes that searching in departmental archives can bring to light many aspects of social history of 1980s-1990s as a ‘turning point’ in the Russian history, which greatly impacted the contemporaries’ fates.
Foreign Internet Archives on the Yalta Conference: Revisiting the Theory of ‘Communication Power’: The National Archives (TNA) (Great Britain)
Authors:   V. I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University, Simferopol, Russian Federation, Shevchenko Oleg K.
Published: November 2018

The article deals with the problems of uploading archival materials on the Yalta conference to open-source websites. The author focuses on the UK experience. The significance of studying open-source archival documents as historical sources is not of purely archival or, rather, source-studies nature, but has a serious political background. The author demonstrates the potential of publication of the ‘Yalta-1945’ archival documents for solving important issues connected to geopolitical interests of various states. The textual analysis of documents and detailed analysis of their structure allow to conclude that national scholars can now access foreign documents on the ‘Yalta-1945,’ and yet they should beware of the ‘communication power’ technologies used by the United States and Great Britain. The author analyzes key series of English-language documents available on The National Archives official website. There are available on-line various catalogues, files descriptions, etc. Great Britain has uploaded a great number of digitized documents and microfilms on Yalta-1945. Most of these are open-sourced. Studying these documents adds to our knowledge of the Yalta Conference and allows to conduct a cross-sectional analysis of documents on the ‘Yalta-1945’ in the United States, Great Britain, and the USSR. However, the way documents are placed and presented and the nature of tools created for primary generalization of the documentation allow to assert that the authorities attempt to manipulate the public conscience.
‘... Her Imperial Majesty Deigned to Declare Herself’: V. N. Tatishchev’s Journal-Book for 1734
Authors:   Institute of History and Archaeology, Ural Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, Ekaterinburg, Russian Federation, Kiselev Mikhail A.
Published: November 2018

This is the first publication of the journal-book kept by famous Russian statesman and historian Vasily Nikitich Tatishchev from February 10 to April 2, 1734, after his appointment director of the Urals state-owned metallurgical plants. This document allows to clarify the circumstances of V. N Tatishchev's appointment to the Urals, including its date. According to the document, it was made on February 10 by oral order of the Empress. Immediately afterwards Vasily Nikitich plunged into planning his trip assisted by cabinet-ministers A. I. Osterman, A. M. Cherkassky, and president of the Commerce-Collegium P. P. Shafirov. The journal-book allows to reconstruct the flow of communication within the bureaucratic elite in 1730s. It also shows that internal documentation (minutes and registers) of the Cabinet of Ministers does not fully reflect its activities. It indicates that the Empress took a most active part and interest in Tatishchev’s appointment and his sending away; she thus sought to keep under her personal control all most important state affairs, including management of metallurgical plants. The document is of interest for studying history of Russian culture of the 18th century, as it contains some information about translator and writer K. A. Kondratovich and historian P. N. Krekshin. It intimates that Kondratovich was exiled to the Urals with Tatishchev by oral order from Anna Ioannovna. To this, there is no other documentary evidence, and therefore, Kondratovich attempted to mystify the circumstances of his exile to the Urals and to bury the fact in oblivion. The document is stored in the State Archive of the Sverdlovsk Region, Ekaterinburg.
