-Windturbine mit einer hydrostatischen Übersetzung und einem permanenterregten Synchrongenerator betrachtet. Die Struktur beinhaltet zwei dezentrale Regler: einen für eine aktive Schwingungsdämpfung des Turms und der Blätter sowie einen weiteren für den Antriebsstrang. Beide Regelungskonzepte wurden unter Nutzung linearer Matrix-Ungleichungen (LMIs) entworfen, sodass Unsicherheiten, welche beispielsweise durch Parametervariabilitäten gegeben sind, adäquat betrachtet werden können. Im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen Konzepten bildet die hier vorgestellte Regelung den gesamten Betriebsbereich der Windkraftanlage ab und kann so sowohl bei schwachen Windstärken als auch im Starkwindbereich genutzt werden.

Authors: Mindt Sonani , Aida Sihem , Merx Kirsten , Müller Annette , Gutting Tobias , Hedtke Maren , Neumaier Michael , Hofheinz Ralf-Dieter
Published: January 2019

Background

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is frequently used for the treatment of gastrointestinal tumors. The pharmacological effect of 5-FU is influenced by genetic polymorphisms as well as differently dosed regimens. Currently, 5-FU is generally administered as a continuous infusion via an implanted port system using a body surface area (BSA)-based dose calculation. In order to optimize treatment, the area under the curve (AUC) can be estimated to allow for individual dose adjustment. A 5-FU AUC range between 20 and 30 [mg×h×L] is recommended. The aim of the current study was to assess if blood for AUC analysis could also be drawn at the side where the port system had been placed.

Methods

We collected EDTA blood samples of patients receiving infusional 5-FU simultaneously from different sampling points (right/left cubital vein). 5-FU concentrations were measured in a steady-state equilibrium based on nanoparticle immunoassay (My5-FU; Saladax).

Results

A total of 39 patients took part in this study. About half of the patients did not reach the target 5-FU concentration window (37% were under- and 16% of the patients were overdosed). Calculated median AUC was 23.3 for the right arm (range 5.8–59.4) and a median of 23.4 for the left arm (range 5.3–61.0). AUC values showed no difference between right compared to left arms (p=0.99).

Conclusions

In all, these results confirm that a high percentage of patients are not treated with 5-FU doses reaching suggested AUC levels of 20–30. The location of venepuncture, however, had no impact on the results of plasma 5-FU concentration.
Comparing Short and Long-Memory Charts to Monitor the Traffic Intensity of Single Server Queues
Authors: Santos Marta , Morais Manuel Cabral , Pacheco António
Published: January 2019

The traffic intensity (ρ) is a vital parameter of queueing systems because it is a measure of the average occupancy of a server.
Consequently, it influences their operational performance, namely queue lengths and waiting times. Moreover, since many computer, production and transportation systems are frequently modelled as queueing systems, it is crucial to use control charts to detect changes in ρ. In this paper, we pay particular attention to control charts meant to detect increases in the traffic intensity, namely: a short-memory chart based on the waiting time of the n-th arriving customer; two long-memory charts with more sophisticated control statistics, and the two cumulative sum (CUSUM) charts proposed by Chen and Zhou (2015). We confront the performances of these charts in terms of some run length related performance metrics and under different out-of-control scenarios. Extensive results are provided to give the quality control practitioner a concrete idea about the performance of these charts.
Unique continuation for a reaction-diffusion system with cross diffusion
Authors: Wu Bin , Gao Ying , Wang Zewen , Chen Qun
Published: January 2019

This paper concerns unique continuation for a reaction-diffusion system with cross diffusion, which is a drug war reaction-diffusion system describing a simple dynamic model of a drug epidemic in an idealized community.
We first establish a Carleman estimate for this strongly coupled reaction-diffusion system. Then we apply the Carleman estimate to prove the unique continuation, which means that the Cauchy data on any lateral boundary determine the solution uniquely in the whole domain.
Effects of perspective-taking on pronominal reference to humans and animals: Logophoricity in Finnish
Authors: Kaiser Elsi
Published: January 2019

This paper investigates the logophoric pronoun system of Finnish, with a focus on reference to animals, to further our understanding of the linguistic representation of non-human animals, how perspective-taking is signaled linguistically, and how this relates to features such as [+/-HUMAN]. In contexts where animals are grammatically [-HUMAN] but conceptualized as the perspectival center (whose thoughts, speech or mental state is being reported), can they be referred to with logophoric pronouns? Colloquial Finnish is claimed to have a logophoric pronoun which has the same form as the human-referring pronoun of standard Finnish, han (she/he). This allows us to test whether a pronoun that may at first blush seem featurally specified to seek [+HUMAN] referents can be used for [-HUMAN] referents when they are logophoric. I used corpus data to compare the claim that han is logophoric in both standard and colloquial Finnish vs. the claim that the two registers have different logophoric systems. I argue for a unified system where han is logophoric in both registers, and moreover can be used for logophoric [-HUMAN] referents in both colloquial and standard Finnish. Thus, on its logophoric use, han does not require its referent to be [+HUMAN].
Cohesion and Particularity in the Spanish Dialect Continuum
Authors: Fernández Francisco Moreno , Ueda Hiroto
Published: January 2019

This paper studies the degree of cohesion among varieties of Spanish, proposing an analysis of Spanish dialectal variation and the internal cohesion of varieties using the Varilex-R database (2016). A battery of complementary statistical tests (correlation analysis, cluster analysis, association analysis) has been applied to these data in order to establish the distances between the principal modalities of the Spanish language. It also introduces the calculation of indices of generality and particularity, which, by establishing associations between linguistic uses within different countries, illustrate the extent to which each country’s Spanish, by virtue of its linguistic uses, can be considered more general or more particular.
The Public-Art Publics: An Analysis of Some Structural Differences among Public-Art Spheres
Authors: Baldini Andrea
Published: January 2019

In this paper, I argue for what I define as the multiplicity thesis (MT). According to MT, there is not a single public of public art, but a multiplicity of them. I defend MT both as a descriptive and a normative claim. I explore different types of publics of public art that can be distinguished from one another in terms of their different sizes. I expand my analysis of the differences among separate publics of public art by considering temporary and enduring ones.
Serum folic acid, PCT, CRP and ESR detection as biomarker in differentiation ulcerative colitis activity
Authors: Xia Dong , An Jikun
Published: January 2019

Objective: To investigate the serum concentration of folic acid, procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) as biomarkers in the differentiation of the severity of ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods: Fifty one patients who had been diagnosed with UC were recruited from January 2014 to August 2017. Twenty-two of these patients had severe diseases while the remaining twenty-nine patients had mild/moderate disease, according to the Truelove-Witts classification criteria. In the same study, 26 healthy subjects which served as the healthy controls were included alongside the UC patient group. The serum folic acid, PCT, CRP and ESR were examined and compared among the healthy control, mild/moderate and severe UC groups. Results: The serum PCT, CRP and ESR in the control group were significantly lower than those of mild/moderate and severe UC groups with statistical significance (p<0.001). However, the serum folic acid in the control group was significant higher than that of mild/ moderate and severe UC groups (p<0.001). The serum folic acid (p=0.015), PCT (p<0.001) and ESR (p<0.001) were significantly different between the severe and mild/moderate groups. However, the serum CRP was not statistically significant between the mild/moderate and severe UC groups (p=0.06). Using serum folic acid, PCT, CRP and ESR as biomarkers in the differentiation of mild/moderate and severe UC, the serum PCT had good diagnostic accuracy for detecting severe UC with the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of 85.71% (63.66~96.95%), 82.76% (64.23~94.15%), respectively under the cut off value of 0.045. The correlation between serum CRP, ESR and PCT were examined by Pearson correlation test and line regression analysis. However, there was no correlation between each of them with the exception of folic acid and ESR (r=-0.334, p=0.017). Conclusion: Serum folic acid, PCT, CRP and ESR are significantly elevated in patients with active UC thereby presenting novel and potentially promising biomarkers for the diagnosis and differentiation of mild/moderate and sever UC.

Muscle stretching – the potential role of endogenous pain inhibitory modulation on stretch tolerance
Authors: Støve Morten Pallisgaard , Hirata Rogerio Pessoto , Palsson Thorvaldur Skuli
Published: January 2019

Background and aims

The effect of stretching on joint range of motion is well documented and is primarily related to changes in the tolerance to stretch, but the mechanisms underlying this change are still largely unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of a remote, painful stimulus on stretch tolerance.

Methods

Thirty-four healthy male subjects were recruited and randomly assigned to an experimental pain group (n=17) or a control group (n=17). Passive knee extension range of motion, the activity of hamstring muscles and passive resistive torque were measured with subjects in a seated position. Three consecutive measures were performed with a 5-min interval between. A static stretch protocol was utilized in both groups to examine the effect of stretching and differences in stretch tolerance between groups. Following this, the pain-group performed a cold pressor test which is known to engage the endogenous pain inhibitory system after which measurements were repeated.

Results

A significant increase in knee extension range of motion was found in the pain group compared with controls (ANCOVA: p<0.05). No difference was found in muscle activity or passive resistive torque between groups (ANCOVA p>0.091).

Conclusions

Passive knee extension range of motion following stretching increased when following a distant, painful stimulus, potentially engaging the endogenous pain inhibitory systems. Current findings indicate a link between increased tolerance to stretch and endogenous pain inhibition.

Implications

The current findings may have implications for clinical practice as they indicate that a distant painful stimulus can influence range of motion in healthy individuals. This implies that the modulation of pain has significance for the efficacy of stretching which is important knowledge when prescribing stretching as part of rehabilitation.
Probing Resonances and Pseudospin Symmetry of the Eckart Potential by the Complex Scaling Method within the Relativistic Framework
Authors: Wang Suo-Fu , Shi Min , Liu Quan , Guo Jian-You
Published: January 2019

The complex scaling method is applied to probe the resonances of a Dirac particle in the Eckart potential, along with the corresponding energies and widths obtained. Then, the dependence of the resonant energies and widths on the parameters of the potential is checked. The results indicate that the energy and width of the pseudospin doublets preserve a good pseudospin symmetry. Furthermore, the quality of pseudospin symmetry is correlated with the parameters of the Eckart potential.
Prediction and Optimization of Erosion Rate of Carbon Fiber–Reinforced Ebonite Using Fuzzy Logic
Authors: Chowdhury M. A. , Shuvho B. A. , Debnath U. K. , Nuruzzaman D. M.
Published: January 2019

In this study, a fuzzy artificial intelligence approach is utilized to predict the erosion rate of reinforced ebonite composite materials with carbon fiber owing to the significant accuracy of soft computing techniques. Experimental data were used to predict the erosion rate with respect to the input testing conditions, namely, impact velocity, impingement angle, erodent size, and stand-off distance. The size of the erosive element of randomly shaped sand particles (silicon dioxide) is set between 300 and 600 μm. Other input process parameters, such as the impact velocity between 30 and 50 m/s, the impingement angle between 30° and 90°, and the stand-off distance between 15 and 25 mm, are selected. The consistency between the experimental and fuzzy logic model values, with a 94.45 % accuracy, signifies that the proposed fuzzy logic model is suitable for predicting the erosion rate of reinforced ebonite composite materials. The maximum erosion rate is obtained between a 50° and 60° impingement angle. Morphological images are analyzed by scanning electron microscopy to elucidate the erosion mechanisms.
mTOR Hyperactivity Levels Influence the Severity of Epilepsy and Associated Neuropathology in an Experimental Model of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex and Focal Cortical Dysplasia
Authors: Nguyen Lena H. , Mahadeo Travorn , Bordey Angélique
Published: January 2019

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) are focal malformations of cortical development (FMCDs) that are highly associated with intractable epilepsy. TSC and FCD are mTORopathies caused by a spectrum of pathogenic variants in the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway genes leading to differential activation of mTOR signaling. However, whether the degree of mTOR hyperactivity influences disease severity remains unclear. Here, we examined the effects of differential mTOR hyperactivity levels on epilepsy and associated neuropathology in a mouse model of TSC and FCD. Constitutively active Rheb (RhebCA), the canonical activator of mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1), was expressed in mouse embryos of either sex viain uteroelectroporation at low, intermediate, and high concentrations to induce different mTORC1 activity levels in developing cortical neurons. We found that RhebCAexpression induced mTORC1 hyperactivation and increased neuronal soma size and misplacement in a dose-dependent manner. No seizures were detected in the low RhebCAmice, whereas the intermediate and high RhebCAmice displayed spontaneous, recurrent seizures that significantly increased with higher RhebCAconcentrations. Seizures were associated with a global increase in microglial activation that was notably higher in the regions containing RhebCA-expressing neurons. These data demonstrate that neuronal mTOR hyperactivity levels influence the severity of epilepsy and associated neuropathology in experimental TSC and FCD. Overall, these findings highlight the importance of evaluating the outcome of individual variants on mTOR activity levels and support personalized medicine strategies based on patient variants and mTOR activity level for TSC, FCD, and potentially other mTORopathies.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTTuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) are epileptogenic cortical malformations caused by pathogenic variants in mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway genes leading to differential mTOR hyperactivation. Here, we present novel findings that neuronal mTOR hyperactivity levels correlate with the severity of epilepsy and associated neuropathology in a mouse model of TSC and FCD. Our findings suggest the need to evaluate the outcome of individual variants on mTOR activity levels in clinical assessments and support personalized medicine strategies based on patient variants and mTOR activity level. Additionally, we present useful modifications to a previously described mouse model of TSC and FCD that allows for titration of seizure frequency and generation of a mild to severe epilepsy phenotype as applicable for preclinical drug testing and mechanistic studies.

Goniodysgenesis is a developmental abnormality of the anterior chamber of the eye. It is generally considered to be congenital in dogs (Canis lupus familiaris), and has been associated with glaucoma and blindness. Goniodysgenesis and early-onset glaucoma initially emerged in Border Collies in Australia in the late 1990s and have subsequently been found in this breed in Europe and the USA. The objective of the present study was to determine the genetic basis of goniodysgenesis in Border Collies. Clinical diagnosis was based on results of examinations by veterinary ophthalmologists of affected and unaffected dogs from eleven different countries. Genotyping using the Illumina high density canine single nucleotide variant genotyping chip was used to identify a candidate genetic region. There was a highly significant peak of association over chromosome 17, with a p-value of 2 × 10−13. Expression profiles and evolutionary conservation of candidate genes were assessed using public databases. Whole genome sequences of three dogs with glaucoma, three severely affected by goniodysgenesis and three unaffected dogs identified a missense variant in the olfactomedin like 3 (OLFML3) gene in all six affected animals. This was homozygous for the risk allele in all nine cases with glaucoma and 12 of 14 other severely affected animals. Of 67 reportedly unaffected animals, only one was homozygous for this variant (offspring of parents both with goniodysgenesis who were also homozygous for the variant). Analysis of pedigree information was consistent with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance for severe goniodysgenesis (potentially leading to glaucoma) in this breed. The identification of a candidate genetic region and putative causative variant will aid breeders to reduce the frequency of goniodysgenesis and the risk of glaucoma in the Border Collie population.

The first Lahu (Muhsur) Christians: A community in Northern Thailand
Authors: Walker Anthony R.
Published: January 2019

Universiti Brunei DarussalamBetween 10 to 20 per cent of all the Tibeto-Burman-speaking Lahu people now subscribe to one or another version of the Christian religion.The largest proportion of present-day Lahu Christians inherited the genre of this Western religion propagated by American Baptist missionaries in the former Kengtung State of Burma (from 1901 to 1966), in Yunnan (from 1920 to 1949), and in North Thailand (from 1968 to 1990). For this reason, it is often thought that pioneer American Baptist among the Lahu, William Marcus Young (1861–1936), was the first to induct a representative of this people into the Christian faith.In fact this is not the case. The first Lahu Christians lived in North Thailand, baptised by long-time Chiang Mai-based American Presbyterian missionary, Daniel McGilvary. This was in 1891, thirteen years before Young’s first baptism of a Lahu in Kengtung, Burma, in October 1904.The paper addresses three questions. Why were Lahu living in upland North Thailand in the early 1890s? Why did one small Lahu community decide to embrace the Christian religion? Finally, why, in stark contrast to Baptist Christianity in the Lahu Mountains, did this fledgling Lahu Presbyterian community disappear, apparently without trace, sometime after 1920?

A PROPAGANDA NAZISTA – técnica, alienação e uma aproximação a partir de Paul Tillich
Authors: Tada Elton Sadao , Gracino Laíssa Correia
Published: January 2019

A propaganda foi um dos elementos mais fortes do Terceiro Reich na Alemanha pré-Segunda Guerra Mundial. A persuasão utilizada nas propagandas nazistas afetou a população de maneira com que apoiassem praticamente todas as decisões tomadas pelo governo nesse contexto. Para compreender a influência ideológica na Alemanha Nazista este trabalho identifica e analisa os aspectos alienantes contidos na propaganda durante o regime de Hitler. Para se chegar a este objetivo através de estudo de caso foram selecionadas algumas propagandas para análise e apontado as características da Teoria Critica imposto pela indústria cultural e alienação da população. Uma vez que o regime autoritário imposto pelo governo nessa época precisava de extrema poder de manipulação de massas para manter o controle social, entende-se que a propaganda foi a principal ferramenta usada – e desenvolvida – pelo nazismo para o processo de alienação da sociedade. A partir do problema da relação entre técnica e alienação faz-se uma crítica tillichiana.

Local scour around submerged tandem and offset cylinders due to change in alignment angle
Authors: Rout Abhijit , Sarkar Arindam
Published: January 2019

A study on scour around submerged tandem and offset cylinders was carried out with the aim of characterising the scour process and the influence of various parameters on the variation of scour depth over time. An experimental campaign was undertaken in a laboratory flume over a shallow range of submergence ratios (1·95–2·60) and alignment angles between the tandem cylinders (0°–40°). The formation of dunes in between tandem cylinders was observed for experiments with reduced flow velocity. The scour depths around both cylinders increase with the increase of Froude number and decrease with an increase in the submergence ratio and sediment size. The scour depth around the downstream cylinder increases with increase of alignment angle. Equations to representi the various combinations of cylinders and arrangements have been proposed. On the basis of the experimental results, adjustment factors and a timescale are proposed. The degree of deviation and adjustment factors to correlate scour depth around tandem and single cylinders have been determined. The time variation is represented using a timescale that decreases with increase of densimetric Froude number.
HDI and Gender Development Index: Current Status of Women Development in India
Authors: Malik Rajeshwari
Published: January 2019

Economic reforms of 1990s have touched the lives of all Indians. Not just Indian economy but the society as a whole can be divided into pre and post liberalisation, privatisation, globalisation eras. Post LPG the Indian economy has been growing at a rate of 7+ per cent per annum. The Indian middle class, the aspirational class, the neo-middle class, had expanded substantially in size. Today, India is the fourth largest economy in the world. In the last two decades women across the country have reaped the benefits of this economic growth. They have become the part of global economy and market, and their lives have transformed into that of global citizens with all the comforts and luxuries in life. Today women are rapidly closing the gender gap with men in various areas. Through this research paper, an attempt is being made to critically analyse the status of women in India post reforms. Finally the paper studies Gender inequality at workplace as an indicator of development in true sense.
Microfinance on Poverty Alleviation: Empirical Evidence from Indian Perspective
Authors: Din Malik Mohd Azhar Ud
Published: January 2019

This paper is a modest attempt to collect data from northern, southern and central India to analyse the impact of microfinance on poverty through imperial evidence from across the country- The respondents were divided between two groups, Participants and Non-Participants, Participants were members of Self Help groups (SHGs) which have benefited from which scheme? and received bank loans. Non-participant members were those who were eligible for microfinance and formed SHGs but did not obtain credit up to the time of the survey. As per the NABARD guidelines, SHGs are provided bank loans only after active existence of the groups for about six months since inception. Non-participants belonged to the group which was less than six months old at the time of survey; - have not availed any benefit from the microfinance program. The study concludes that the socio-economic profile of sample respondents with experience of less than six months was completely different from the respondents with experience of more than six months.
A Critical Appraisal of Goods and Services Tax in India
Authors: Samantara Rabinarayan
Published: January 2019

The present paper attempts to make a critical appraisal of Goods and Services Tax (GST), implemented in India from 1st July, 2017. In addition to explaining the structure of GST in India as well as the tax rates under it, the present paper attempts to analyse the impact of GST on certain major industries or sectors within the Indian economy. Although GST has certain obvious advantages including exemptions and low compliance burden for small businesses, lower tax rates for mass consumption goods, increase in tax base and tax collections, etc., it is noteworthy, however, that GST has certain limitations as well. In spite of this, it must be accepted that GST has helped in ensuring a common Indian market through the elimination of multiplicity of taxes as well as ‘ tax on tax ‘. It is expected to accelerate economic growth, help generate more of employment opportunities, and lead to increased tax base as well as increased revenue generation

A Measurement Based Study to Assess Power Line Communication Network Throughput Performance
Authors: ÇÜRÜK Selva Muratoğlu , ÖZKANER Vedat
Published: January 2019

Power line
communications (PLC) is a known low cost technology which is easily installed
and extended to the various connections especially to areas with poor wireless
coverage. Unfortunately, designers and users experience technical problems that
arise from the difficulty of operating on a complex time varying medium and
that limits the expected high throughput. Therefore, testing and understanding
network dynamics of PLC systems before usage is a necessity. This paper
presents the findings obtained from the experiments carried out in order to
verify the throughput performance of PLC systems. Experimental measurements are
realized in different testbeds, under different times and conditions, in order
to achieve an idea of the practical PLC performance. Data obtained from the
measurements have been stored and the throughput is analyzed by the help of
software. Following, using distribution fitting methods, it is shown that the
PLC throughput may be modeled by the extreme value distribution. Furthermore,
adding a basic noise to the network, simply by lamps, results with a degraded
performance. The noise changes the parameters of the derived distributions; a
decrease in expected value and an increase in standard deviation are observed.
Comparative Analysis of Evolutionary Computation Based Gain Scheduling Control for Ball and Plate Stabilization System
Authors: GÖZDE Haluk
Published: January 2019

The platform
stabilization systems used in marine, airborne or land vehicle applications are
controlled with very different control methods basically including linear,
nonlinear and artificial intelligence-based design techniques. Nowadays,
evolutionary computation based optimization algorithms also provide new
opportunities to engineers in order to design a gain scheduling controller. In
this study, an evolutionary computation based gain scheduling controller is
proposed for a ball and plate system so as to examine its control performances
on a stabilization system. For this purpose, the swarm intelligence based Particle
Swarm Optimization (PSO) and evolutionary algorithm based Differential
Evolution (DE) algorithms are chosen due to their better performance than the
other evolutionary computation algorithms. The results are comparatively
investigated by using time domain and frequency domain analysis methods.
Additionally, the robustness analysis is also applied to examine the tuning
performances of these controllers in case of changing system parameters in the
range of ±50%.
Fuzzy Variable Order Extremum-Seeking Controller Design for Mobile Robots
Authors: ATAN Ozkan
Published: January 2019

In this paper, we are
designed a fuzzy variable order extremum-seeking control (FVO-ESC) system for a
mobile robot. Fractional order controllers have advantages in the control of
nonlinear systems such as a wider area of stability and performance enhancement
in the presence of noise. The main proposal of the paper is to increase the
performance of the fractional order controller. So a variable order controller
was designed for a mobile robot, and a fuzzy logic controller was designed
according to user experiences to tune the controller order. The proposed
FVO-ESC approach has been validated the effects on nonlinear systems such as
the mobile robot system. It has been put forward in the preliminary
investigation that the order of the fractional order ESC controller affects the
overshoot and time to reach the target. The results suggested that a
variable-level controller would have better performance. The results show that
the proposed FVO-ESC control approach provides optimum performance for mobile robot
systems.

Authors: Prokhorova A.
Published: January 2019

The article is dedicated to the diplomatic relationships between the British Kingdom and the Huguenots during the Anglo-French War of 1562-1564 and their influence on the foreign policy of England and France. The author analyzes the main directions of the diplomatic relations of the Elizabethan politicians with the French Protestants, finds out the factors and circumstances of the defeat of the Huguenots in the Battle of Dre and change the course of diplomatic relations between the countries. Also, author observes the course and results of the war of 1562-1564, and concludes that the defeat for England in this military conflict in the future had positive effects. For Elizabeth I became clear that it makes no sense to rely on the further assistance of Protestant forces from other states to the English case. The country could deviate from the policies that it was carrying out, and to re-evaluate its foreign-policy priorities, which contributed to a further new course of the country.

Knowledge Sharing in Healthcare Centers: Practices and Influences
Authors: Almobarraz Abdullah
Published: January 2019

The desire to improve health services provided to citizens in Saudi Arabia increases the need to encourage health practitioners to share their knowledge with peers. Unfortunately, there is no evidence that information and knowledge are shared in healthcare sectors. This study thus investigates the practice of knowledge sharing by workers and practitioners in primary healthcare centers. The influence of technology and management support in dissemination of the culture of knowledge sharing is also studied. The findings revealed that the staff in healthcare centers has a positive perception towards the importance of knowledge sharing in the work environment Workers have the desire to exploit all available potentials to transfer, exchange, and provide new knowledge within these centers. However, some factors were found to be barriers to sharing knowledge. Such factors include discouragement by top management as well as a lack of technology that supports knowledge management and sharing. Therefore, employees depend on their own efforts to share knowledge and apply it in the work place.
