Authors: Dai Lidong , Sun Wenqing , Li Heping , Hu Haiying , Wu Lei , Jiang Jianjun
Published: September 2017

Abstract. Electrical conductivities of the gneiss samples with different chemical compositions [WA=Na2O+K2O+CaO=7.12 %, 7.27 % and 7.64 % in weight percent] were measured using a complex impedance spectroscopic technique at 623–1073 K and 1.5 GPa in the frequency range of 10−1 to 106 Hz. In addition, conductivities of gneiss with WA = 7.12 % were measured at 623‒1073 K and 0.5‒2.0 GPa. The results indicated that the conductivities of gneiss markedly increase with the increase of the total content of alkali and calcium ions. The conductivity of gneiss and temperature conform to an Arrhenius relation at a certain temperature range. The influence of pressure on conductivity of gneiss is weaker than that of temperature, and the conductivity increases with the increasing pressure. According to the various ranges of activation enthalpy (0.35‒0.52 eV and 0.76‒0.87 eV) corresponding to higher and lower temperature regions at 1.5 GPa, two main conduction mechanisms were suggested to dominate the conductivity of gneiss: impurity conduction in the lower temperature region and ionic conduction (charge carriers are K+, Na+ and Ca2+) in the higher temperature region. Finally, it was confirmed that gneisses with various chemical compositions can’t cause the high conductivity layers (HCLs) in Dabie-Sulu ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic belt.
On wake modeling, wind-farm gradients and AEP predictions at the Anholt wind farm
Authors: Peña Alfredo , Schaldemose Hansen Kurt , Ott Søren , van der Laan Maarten Paul
Published: September 2017

Abstract. We investigate wake effects at the Anholt offshore wind farm in Denmark. We perform the analysis with three commonly-used wake models; two engineering approaches (the Park and G. C. Larsen models) and a linearized Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes approach (Fuga). From analysis of SCADA and mesoscale model simulations, we show that for westerly flow in particular, there is a clear horizontal wind-speed gradient over the wind farm, which results from the effect of the land nearby. We also show that for annual energy production estimates, in which a wake model is run with inflow conditions derived from mesoscale model outputs, accounting for the horizontal wind-speed gradient gives nearly the same results as averaging all the wake-free wind climates at the turbines' positions or using the wind climate of a position in the middle of the wind farm. However, annual energy production estimates can largely differ when using wind climates that are strongly influenced by the wind-speed gradient. When looking at westerly flow wake cases, where the impact of the wind-speed gradient is largest, the wake models agree with the SCADA fairly well; when looking at a southerly flow case, where the wake losses are highest, they tend to underestimate the wake loss. With the mesoscale-wake model setup, we are also able to estimate the capacity factor of the wind farm rather well when compared to that derived from the SCADA. Finally, we estimate the uncertainty of the wake models and some of its variants by bootstrapping the SCADA. The models tend to underestimate the wake losses and the engineering wake models are as uncertain as Fuga. These results are specific for this wind farm, the available dataset, and the derived inflow conditions.
Transforming Teaching and Learning for Quality Teacher Education in Ghana: Perspectives from Selected Teacher Trainees and Stakeholders in Teacher Education
Authors: Ntim Stephen Kwabena
Published: September 2017

This survey measured the perspectives of teacher trainees, classrooms teachers and stakeholders in teacher education regarding factors that could enhance teaching and quality teacher education in Ghana. Findings from the survey indicate that teachers’ content knowledge was considered appreciable, but more emphasis needed to be paid to cultivating critical and inquiry skills among Ghanaian teachers. Additionally, efforts were to be made in teacher education towards a more constructivists approach to teaching, with focus on student-centered teaching and attention to student diversity, as well as enhancing teacher professional development, especially in the area of academic research. Implications for policy and practice suggested among others, are that teacher education in Ghana needs a more professional development that is both data-based and standard driven, as well as collaboratively developed, as criteria to assess teacher quality and possible certification.
What makes qualitative research good research? An exploratory analysis of critical elements.
Authors: Kalu Felicity Agwu
Published: September 2017

When conducting research, it is essential that both the design and the method used are appropriate to fully answer the research questions. The overall aim of the study should determine the choice of the design. it is also crucial that the research is not only relevant but must be of good quality to provide knowledge that can be effectively used in various settings such as practice and education, as well as implementation of policies and projects. Qualitative research is used in various disciplines including behavioral and social sciences to understand human experiences and situations, as well as individuals' cultures, beliefs, and values. Qualitative research is very useful for exploring complex phenomena that are difficult to measure with quantitative studies. Despite the advantages of qualitative research, its trustworthiness is often questioned by some researchers and readers. This article presents an exploratory analysis of the essential elements in qualitative research that when properly and objectively utilised can enable the readers of qualitative work to judge it as a good research.

Authors: Ezedikachi. N Eze-Michael
Published: September 2017

Sectarian crisis has been said to have erupted from groups with different ideological values and perspectives and had resulted into conflicts and brought about sectarian crisis especially in the northern Nigeria. The study examined the various causes of sectarian crisis in northern Nigeria, which included religious fundamentalism, religious extremism, and political manipulations. The study examined the effect of sectarian crisis in northern Nigeria with Kaduna state used for the case study. It was structurally analyzed with the use of quantitative method due to the nature of the research. The study developed fifteen (15) research questions, which were administered to 2 local government areas in Kaduna state namely Jema’a and Zagon kataf. Both primary and secondary data were used as sources of data. For primary sources data was gotten from the field work where research questionnaires were distributed and, for the secondary sources, data was gotten from journals, articles, published and unpublished books, libraries, works from the existing literature related to this study as well as from the internet. While the simple percentage technique was used in organizing and presenting the data collected. The data analysis revealed that sectarian crisis created ethnic differences and socio-economic problems. The study recommended that for sectarian crisis to be prevented, an elaborate process of depoliticizing ethnic groups must be put in place. The government also should take measures to shutdown religious group crisis by promoting peace and unity in the society. By this northern Nigeria will experience peace, oneness, good security and national Unity.
The Legal Challenges of International Electronic Contracts in Iraq
Authors: Ayub Zainal Amin
Published: September 2017

The electronic commerce activities raise an emerging legal challenges and problems based on the existing legal systems in Iraq. The traditional commercial relations make the commercial activity on the basis of offer and acceptance relies on the commitment of the seller. For example, to deliver the sales physically on one hand and the buyer has to pay the price either in cash or by using tools that are alternative to direct payment-in cash through trade securities or other means of conventional banking fulfillment. However, it is a different story in relation to electronic commerce transactions. The difference is not only in the concept of the commercial activity but also in the tools of its practice and the nature of relations arising under its umbrella. Most activities in the e-commerce activities is carried out online i.e. through the internet or information network. The use of technology is dominant, creating new challenges against the existing legal systems in Iraq. The aim of this article is to study the challenges and problems with regards to electronic contracts in Iraq. It is found that the current law governing the e-commerce in Iraq is the main obstacle for Iraqi consumer to conclude such contracts. It is interesting to note the growing importance of e-commerce contract among Iraqis in their daily life.  The article suggests amendment to the current legislation governing e-commerce to facilitate the growth of online transaction in Iraq.
Currency Devaluation and Fuel Subsidy Removal for Nigeria’s Economic Development
Authors: Saleh Martha , Olasunkanmi Osundina
Published: September 2017

Currency devaluation and fuel subsidy removal are policies that are phenomena to the Nigerian economic environment. The implementation of the policies has further caused more challenges in the pursuit for economic development than remedy to alleviate the crisis in the Nigeria economy. However, the continuous exploration of this policies by successive administration was a concern to this research work. It is as a result of this persistent policies that this paper wants to analyse its viability for economic development in Nigeria.The paper adopted survey research design with the use of questionnaire administered to 387 respondents. Three major organizations were purposefully selected as sources for data collection which were the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG).The paper found out that currency devaluation and fuel subsidy removal is a resultant effect of the mono-productive characteristics of the Nigerian economy which has continually led to balance of payment deficit, low competitiveness in the economy and fall short in living quality of the citizenry. Further exposition revealed that not until diversification of the economy is attained, revitalization of the power sector and industrialization for local manufacturing; economic development might not be feasible. Therefore, it is recommended that industrialization of the economy is highly overdue, infrastructural development imperative and economic policies such as devaluation and subsidy regime should be mildly used when economic downturns are experienced.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: Current Concepts
Authors: Staples Jonathan Robert , Calfee Ryan
Published: September 2017

Cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common upper extremity compressive neuropathy. In recent years, rates of surgical treatment have increased, and the popularity of in situ decompression has grown. Nonsurgical treatment, aiming to decrease both compression and traction on the ulnar nerve about the elbow, is successful in most patients with mild nerve dysfunction. Recent randomized controlled trials assessing rates of symptom resolution and ultimate success have failed to identify a preferred surgical procedure. Revision cubital tunnel surgery, most often consisting of submuscular transposition, may improve symptoms. However, ulnar nerve recovery after revision cubital tunnel surgery is less consistent than that after primary cubital tunnel surgery.
Distal Humerus Fractures in the Elderly Population
Authors: Varecka Thomas F. , Myeroff Chad
Published: September 2017

Distal humerus fractures present complex challenges in the elderly patient. These fractures often occur in patients who are living independently but have poor bone quality and low physiologic reserve, thus complicating management decisions and treatment. The goal is a painless, functional, stable elbow that allows completion of the activities of daily living. Nonsurgical management is reserved for those who cannot tolerate surgery. Open reduction and internal fixation is the preferred choice in fractures amenable to rigid fixation and early motion. Although total elbow arthroplasty provides improved early function and similar overall outcomes in appropriately selected patients, it has the potential to cause devastating complications. With modern technology and treatment principles, as well as early definitive treatment by an experienced specialist, predictable return to function can be expected.
Allergic or Hypersensitivity Reactions to Orthopaedic Implants
Authors: Roberts Timothy T. , Haines Colin M. , Uhl Richard L.
Published: September 2017

Allergic or hypersensitivity reactions to orthopaedic implants can pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Although 10% to 15% of the population exhibits cutaneous sensitivity to metals, deep-tissue reactions to metal implants are comparatively rare. Nevertheless, the link between cutaneous sensitivity and clinically relevant deep-tissue reactions is unclear. Most reactions to orthopaedic devices are type IV, or delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions. The most commonly implicated allergens are nickel, cobalt, and chromium; however, reactions to nonmetal compounds, such as polymethyl methacrylate, antibiotic spacers, and suture materials, have also been reported. Symptoms of hypersensitivity to implants are nonspecific and include pain, swelling, stiffness, and localized skin reactions. Following arthroplasty, internal fixation, or implantation of similarly allergenic devices, the persistence or early reappearance of inflammatory symptoms should raise suspicions for hypersensitivity. However, hypersensitivity is a diagnosis of exclusion. Infection, as well as aseptic loosening, particulate synovitis, instability, and other causes of failure must first be eliminated.

Introduction:

Hemiarthroplasty with concentric glenoid reaming (known as “ream and run”) may be an option for treating glenohumeral arthritis in younger patients with a biconcave glenoid. The goal of this study was to evaluate early results of this technique.

Methods:

Two senior, fellowship-trained shoulder surgeons (G.R.W. and M.D.L.) performed a retrospective review of 23 patients (24 shoulders) with a biconcave glenoid and end-stage degenerative glenohumeral arthritis treated with hemiarthroplasty with concentric glenoid reaming. The mean patient age at the time of surgery was 50 years. We evaluated the Penn Shoulder Score (PSS), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) score, and Simple Shoulder Test (SST) score or the time to revision surgery.

Results:

Twenty-four humeral hemiarthroplasties with concentric glenoid reaming were performed in 23 patients. Twenty patients (21 shoulders) reached the end point of 2-year follow-up or revision surgery. Six shoulders (25%) required revision surgery at an average of 2.7 years (range, 0.7 to 7.2 years), and three were lost to follow-up. The remaining 14 patients (15 shoulders) were followed up for an average of 3.7 years (range, 2.3 to 4.9 years). At 2-year follow-up, these 15 shoulders did not require revision surgery and had an average SANE score, PSS, and SST score of 74.5%, 82.9, and 10.4, respectively. Increasing age correlated positively with the SANE score (r = 0.62; P = 0.015), PSS (r = 0.52; P = 0.047), and SST score (r = 0.63; P = 0.012). Early postoperative forward elevation correlated weakly with the PSS (r = 0.24; P = 0.395), and early postoperative external rotation correlated moderately with the PSS (r = 0.53; P = 0.044). Final external rotation correlated moderately with the PSS (r = 0.69; P = 0.005).

Discussion:

Modest results were achieved with a hemiarthroplasty and concentric glenoid reaming in young patients with end-stage glenohumeral arthritis and a biconcave glenoid. Younger age and stiffness were associated with worse outcomes. Given the high revision rate and the percentage of patients who had unsatisfactory results, this procedure should be performed only after careful patient selection. Patients who are willing and able to undergo aggressive physical therapy focused on achieving early range of motion are more likely to have a satisfactory outcome after humeral hemiarthroplasty with concentric glenoid reaming.

Published: September 2017

Occupational spine injuries place a substantial burden on employees, employers, and the workers’ compensation system. Both temporary and permanent spinal conditions contribute substantially to disability and lost wages. Numerous investigations have revealed that workers’ compensation status is a negative risk factor for outcomes after spine injuries and spine surgery. However, positive patient outcomes and return to work are possible in spine-related workers’ compensation cases with proper patient selection, appropriate surgical indications, and realistic postoperative expectations. Quality improvement measures aimed at optimizing outcomes and minimizing permanent disability are crucial to mitigating the burden of disability claims.

A Stillinger-Weber Potential for InGaN
Authors: Zhou X. W. , Jones R. E.
Published: September 2017

Reducing defects in InGaN films deposited on GaN substrates has been critical to fill the “green” gap for solid-state lighting applications. To enable researchers to use molecular dynamics vapor deposition simulations to explores ways to reduce defects in InGaN films, we have developed and characterized a Stillinger-Weber potential for InGaN. We show that this potential reproduces the experimental atomic volume, cohesive energy, and bulk modulus of the equilibrium wurtzite / zinc-blende phases of both InN and GaN. Most importantly, the potential captures the stability of the correct phase of InGaN compounds against a variety of other elemental, alloy, and compound configurations. This is validated by the potential’s ability to predict crystalline growth of stoichiometric wurtzite and zinc-blende InxGa1-xN compounds during vapor deposition simulations where adatoms are randomly injected to the growth surface.

Published: September 2017

In the petroleum industry, it is common practice to do survey well liquid level for monitoring well in the purpose of evaluation well production capacity, for setting performance of downhole pump. Here we proposed liquid level survey using acoustic well sounder (echosounder) equipment. The reading of liquid level in the oil well is contained noises due to some physical and mechanical condition. An idea to handle large scattered field data contains noises is smoothness method by Tikhonov regularization.Liquid level survey is set up under shunt in well condition, to clearly monitoring liquid level rises in the well column. So, we have acquired field data reading. Beside the field data reading using echosounder tool, we also need to calculate expected liquid level, because that noises factor in the field data. The equation is generated to define calculation of liquid level increases in the well column as a function of time. The initial condition of started liquid column height h0 and well production rate Q0 at t=0 is definite. We build the Volterra integral equation of the 1st kind for this calculation purpose.The ill-posed problem performs in the data, needs the solution for smoothness. Tikhonov regularization (Least Squared problem) has handling this problem. Some value of regularization parameter were employed to the calculation.This paper is an innovative idea to maximum utilization of fluid level data monitoring in the well, while the acquired data is scattered or contains error. After smoothness of the data, qualified model solution curve is fully advantage for well interpretation.

Knowledge about seed dispersal is required to explain problems in ecology, phylogeography, and conservation biology. Even though seed dispersal is a fundamental mechanism to understand problems at different levels of biological organization (individual, population, species, landscape), it remains one of the least recognized processes. Similar to other groups of plants, very little is known regarding patterns and distances of seed dispersal in orchids. Orchid seeds are generally assumed to be widely dispersed by wind because of their small size and low weight. Between 2006 and 2008, we conducted a field study of the distances at which orchid seeds are dispersed, and determined factors affecting dispersal. Investigations included 13 populations of six terrestrial orchid species – Cypripedium calceolus, Cephalanthera rubra, Epipactis helleborine, Goodyera repens, Neottia ovata, and Platanthera bifolia. To evaluate seed dispersal in orchid populations, 8.5-cm Petri dishes (traps) with self-adhesive paper were placed along transects, starting from a group of fruiting plants, which were considered to be the dispersal source. Seeds of the investigated orchid species were dispersed over relatively short distances. There were statistically significant negative correlations between seed density and distance from the fruiting plants. Seeds of species with taller fruiting shoots were dispersed farther than those with shorter ones (R = 0.68, p < 0.05). We discuss the causes and consequences of the dispersal patterns of orchid seeds.
THE MINORS IN PENAL SYSTEMS IN SELECTED COUNTRIES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Published: September 2017

In foreign jurisdictions, various models of responsibility for juvenile offenses are adopted. In many countries, like Poland, entirely separate regulations in this field are adopted (England and Wales, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Spain, Ireland, Germany, Scotland, Switzerland, Sweden). In other countries like (Slovakia, Belarus, Estonia, Greece to 2003, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Russia, Slovenia, Ukraine), there are specific rules of responsibility of minors included in criminal codes and codes of criminal proceedings. Different solutions in this regard are partly due to the different traditions of legal systems, and partly due to various axiomatic justifications formulated in these matters. Review of legislation on minority in selected European countries: Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic shows that in terms of the approach to the problem of minority in all legal systems, specific interaction of children and young people who come into conflict with the criminal law are included, as well as those that show signs of corruption, making their proper personal and social development threatened. Adoption of selected concepts of minors legislation, however, does not mean more or less severe approach to the liability of minors.Both discussed issues the theoretical and practical ones, are the subject of the deliberations beneath, their structure includes:
1. Problems of minors in the European countries
2. Minors in Polish criminal justice system
3. Minors’ responsibility in Slovakian criminal justice system
