Should We Have Blind Faith in Liver Volumetry?
Authors: Golse Nicolas
Published: February 2019

Introduction: Liver volumetry is a routine procedure performed before major hepatectomy or living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) to anticipate the remnant liver volume and prevent liver failure. However, many parameters may impact its accuracy and no large-scale studies have evaluated inter-rater variabilities. We aimed to determine the reliability of volumetric assessments for whole organs in deceased-donor liver transplantations (DDLT) and partial organs in LDLT settings. Patients & Methods: Eight operators (four surgeons + four radiologists) analysed 30 preoperative CT scans (15 whole cirrhotic livers in the DDLT group + 15 partial healthy grafts in the LDLT group), using five software systems. The computed volumes were compared with liver weight; liver density being considered as1. Results: Inter-rater and inter-software concordances were excellent with coefficients of correlation >0.9. However, calculations overestimated the real volumes in 25 cases by a mean of 249 ± 206 [14-771] cc in the DDLT group and 138 ± 92cc [39-375] in the LDLT group. The mean calculations were significantly higher than liver weights in the LDLT group only (p=0.04). The radiologists overestimated the surgeons’ assessment in 24 cases, the differences exceeding 6% in some cases. The type of software used significantly impacted results in the DDLTgroup. Conclusions: Despite its unanimously recognised utility, we highlight significant discrepancies between estimated and real liver volumes. The global overestimation may lead to leave of too small remnant liver, with potentially dramatic consequences. In case of border-line estimations, we recommend a repetition of the evaluation by another operator (surgeon + radiologist working in concert).
The Pawnee Aquifer, Denver-Julesburg Basin, Northeastern Colorado
Authors: Jehn-Dellaport Theresa , Renninger Tammi
Published: February 2019

A partially defined and largely unexplored confined aquifer in Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming is identified regionally through interpretation of geophysical logs, well drilling, coring, petrographic analysis, and GIS interpretation. The aquifer is a fine-grained arkosic sandstone, with thickness ranging up to 1000 ft in some areas. The aquifer represents a significant water resource for ranching and other development in northeastern Colorado and may be a resource for Wyoming, and Nebraska. Nomenclature for this aquifer is suggested. Water wells penetrating the entire aquifer have produced up to 200 gpm. Water quality data is presented including total dissolved solids, boron, and microbial methane.
The Paleocene Chance Member of the Fort Union Formation, northern Bighorn Basin, Montana and Wyoming: aperiodic cyclothems in a tectonically dominated lake basin
Authors: Hickey Leo , Yuretich Richard
Published: February 2019

A 400 m-thick sequence characterized by prominent tabular sandstone beds and a significant amount of marl and limestone occurs in Paleocene strata of the northern part of the Bighorn Basin (Clarks Fork Basin) of Wyoming and Montana. These strata, currently designated as the Belfry Member of the Fort Union Formation, actually consist of two separate but related lithogenetic units. The lower unit, which includes the Belfry Member stratotype, shows a gradual upward increase in tabular sandstone and marl or limestone and is inferred to have been deposited on a drowning flood plain under paralacustrine conditions. The upper unit, here proposed as the Chance Member, is characterized by the presence of six asymmetrical, basin-wide cyclothems. Each cycle begins abruptly with a transgressive surface overlain by laterally extensive tabular sandstone, followed by a micrite-dominated interval that together represent the lacustrine phase of the cycle. These are succeeded by lenticular interbeds of mudstone and sandstone inferred to have been deposited as a prograding fluvio-deltaic and flood plain sequence. The cyclothems are of variable thickness, ranging from ∼30m in the lowest cycle to ∼10 m in the uppermost cycles. Detailed stratigraphic mapping and correlation with the paleomagnetic and vertebrate biostratigraphic framework for the Bighorn Basin places the entire Chance Member within a portion of one vertebrate zone, Ti4, of the middle Tiffanian Provincial Age (59.2 to 58.5 Ma). The variable thickness of the cycles points toward deposition during unequal time intervals and suggests a tectonic origin most likely related to episodic movement of faults bounding the Bighorn Basin.
Low Net: Gross Reservoirs of the Transgressive Shelf Systems in the Upper Mancos Shale, El Vado Sandstone, San Juan Basin, New Mexico
Authors: Wood Lesli , Benavidez Tiffany
Published: February 2019

The El Vado (EV) Sandstone Member (upper Coniacian) of the Mancos Shale has been considered both a conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon resource target (Ridgley, 2001) in the San Juan Basin (SJB) of northwestern New Mexico. Sandstones of the EV were deposited on the marine intracontinental shelf along the west margin of the Cretaceous Seaway. The EV is part of a transgressive-regressive wedge of rock that overlies a large, older transgressive wedge that contains the Tocito Sandstone. The EV is examined in outcrops in the northeast and the southeast parts of the SJB. In northern outcrops, the EV consists of five parasequences of interbedded sands and shales of similar thickness (∼4 m each) separated by marine-shale units that become progressively sandier upward. To the south, the EV Sandstone transitions from a shelf-deposited into a lower-shoreface sandstone. Well logs and core are used to map the subsurface distribution of the EV Sandstone in the SJB. It is reflected in logs as a thick (∼36.6 m; 120 ft) interval of low gamma ray and high resistivity, associated with highly laminated sand to silt interbedded with shales. A total of 13 cross sections are correlated and used to construct total-interval isopach and parasequence-scale isopach maps for the EV. Regional net-sand and net:gross maps, determined from 104 digitized well logs, highlight the regional distribution of sand in the formation. Thicks are oriented north to south and show compensated deposition suggesting that individual parasequences are not in communication across the basin, but opportunity exists to penetrate stacked parasequences with single vertical wells.
Stratigraphic Intervals for Oil and Tar Sand Deposits in the Uinta Basin, Utah
Authors: Johnson Ronald , Birdwell Justin , Lillis Paul
Published: February 2019

To better understand oil and bitumen generation and migration in the Paleogene lacustrine source rocks of the Uinta Basin, Utah, analyses of 182 oil samples and tar-impregnated intervals from 82 core holes were incorporated into a well-established stratigraphic framework for the basin. The oil samples are from the U.S. Geological Survey Energy Resources Program Geochemistry Laboratory Database; the tar-impregnated intervals are from core holes drilled at the Sunnyside and P.R. Spring-Hill Creek tar sands deposits. The stratigraphic framework includes transgressive and regressive phases of the early freshwater to near freshwater lacustrine interval of Lake Uinta and the rich and lean zone architecture developed for the later brackish-to-hypersaline stages of the lake. Two types of lacustrine-sourced oil are currently recognized in the Uinta Basin: (1) Green River A oils, with high wax and low β-carotane contents thought to be generated by source rocks in the fresh-to-brackish water lacustrine interval, and (2) much less common Green River B oils, an immature asphaltic oil with high β-carotane content thought to be generated by marginally mature to mature source rocks in the hypersaline lacustrine interval. Almost all oil samples from reservoir rocks in the fresh-to-brackish water interval are Green River A oils; however four samples of Green River A oils were present in the hypersaline interval, which likely indicates vertical migration. In addition, two samples of Green River B oil are from intervals that were assumed to contain only Green River A oil. Tar sand at the P.R. Spring-Hill Creek deposit are restricted to marginal lacustrine and fluvial sandstones deposited during the hypersaline phase of Lake Uinta, suggesting a genetic relationship to Green River B oils. Tar sand at the Sunnyside deposit, in contrast, occur in marginal lacustrine and alluvial sandstones deposited from the early fresh to nearly freshwater phase of Lake Uinta through the hypersaline phase. The Sunnyside deposit occurs in an area with structural dips that range from 7 to 14 degrees, and it is possible that some tar migrated stratigraphically down section.
Detrital Zircon Geochronology of Pennsylvanian-Permian Strata in Colorado: Evidence for Appalachian-Derived Sediment and Implications for the Timing of Ancestral Rocky Mountains Uplift
Authors: Nair Kajal , Singleton John , Holm-Denoma Christopher , Egenhoff Sven
Published: February 2019

Pennsylvanian-Permian time in north-central Colorado corresponds with uplift of the Ancestral Front Range and deposition of the Fountain, Ingleside, and Lyons Formations along its flanks. In southwestern Colorado, deposition of the Molas and Hermosa Formations along the flanks of the Uncompahgre Highlands largely represents Pennsylvanian time. We present new detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology data for the Ingleside and Lyons Formations in north-central Colorado and the Molas and Hermosa Formations in southwestern Colorado to understand sediment provenance and dispersal patterns. We determined U-Pb ages using LA-ICPMS on 120-150 zircon grains from five sandstone samples collected from shallow marine and eolian facies within the Ingleside, Lyons, Molas, and Hermosa Formations. All sandstone samples display a mixed Laurentian derivation, with age populations that record local and distal sediment sources. All samples also contain between 5% and 10% concordant Paleozoic-age zircon grains ranging from 330–490 Ma, coinciding with high magmatic flux during the Taconic and Acadian orogenies in the Appalachian orogen. Ultimate derivation from the Appalachians are also interpreted for zircon age populations ranging from 500-750 Ma and 1000-1300 Ma that likely originated from Pan-African and Grenville terranes respectively.
This study detects the earliest documented appearance of Paleozoic zircons along the northern Ancestral Front Range, corresponding to deposition of the lower Ingleside Formation. We compare our data along the Front Range to previous detrital zircon studies from the underlying Fountain Formation to conclude that the Fountain-Ingleside transition was accompanied by a decrease in locally sourced detrital zircons, most likely marking the cessation of Ancestral Front Range uplift. Conversely, deposition across the Molas-Hermosa contact in southwestern Colorado was accompanied by an increase in locally-sourced detrital zircon grains, most likely marking the initiation of the Uncompahgre uplift.
Making a Community Embedded in Mobility
Authors: Bloch Natalia
Published: February 2019

This case study of Dharamshala (India), a community that emerged as an outcome
of mobility just a few decades ago and is constantly fueled by refugees,
migrants, and tourists, aims to challenge the conceptual boundary between a
receiving society and mobile Others, and to pose questions about community
making in the context of postcolonial mobility. The history of Dharamshala reflects both the legacy of colonialism and the modern processes of mobility in
postcolonial Asia. The town’s highly fluid and heterogeneous community consists
of people of different nationalities, ethnicities, religions, and castes from
Tibet, Nepal, the Global North, and various Indian states. Most are seasonal
migrants attracted by the success of Tibetans in turning this in fact refugee
settlement into a popular tourist destination, while some have already settled
there. Communities embedded in mobility—for which mobility is an everyday
lived experience—reshape our thinking about adaptation processes and social
coexistence.
Concordance between Test Items and Lesson Objectives of Pedagogical Discourse
Authors: Habib Azhar , Ahmed Riaz , Gul Sana
Published: February 2019

The aim of this study is to see if there is any discrepancy between constructed response test items and learning objectives of Grade IX English Textbook published by Punjab Textbook Board, Lahore. As product oriented syllabi have clearly defined objectives, each lesson of the book contains a specified set of objectives. The researcher studied these objectives and their relation to the test items set in annual and supplementary exams conducted by Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Islamabad. It was a descriptive study and the data was interpreted using the theoretical framework propounded by Robert J. Marzano and Johns Kendall (2007). It was found that though most of the objectives fulfilled the recommended criteria of the taxonomy. Yet, they remained unfruitful as the test items are not related to them. Thus, the textbook needs to be improved in this regard.
Universal Psychological Mechanisms of Guilt and Redemption: An Analysis of the Scarlet Letter and Raja Gidh
Authors: Mazhar Shumaila , Khan Azka , Khosa Durdana
Published: February 2019

Freud’s trifurcated concept of human nature asserts that unlike other emotional states, guilt is a quite complicated feeling which requires a differentiated and powerful brain. A human brain, being cognizant of this uniqueness, is capable of self-appraisal and self-censure. The present study penetrates the intricacies of human mind through the study of protagonists of The Scarlet Letter and Raja Gidh. The concept of Freudian superego is used to examine the two characters, Dimmesdale and Qayyum, set in completely different temporal and spatial dimensions of human society. The parameters of psychoanalytical interpretation describes the human psychological distress and fight against the mental chaos after crossing the ethical boundaries of morality. It postulates that Freudian psychoanalysis contributes effectively to research in literary criticism beyond the social, cultural and linguistic boundaries as it highlights the universality of unique human feelings.

There were so many research has been done on anti-hypertensive drugs. One of them is a study of Amlodipine, which claimed that there were differences in blood pressure in the use of amlodipine at the morning and night in 24-hour blood pressure profile against the calcium channel blockers. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of amlodipine administration on blood pressure in primary hypertensive patients which is given in the morning with those given at night and the adherence to taking medication. This research used quasi experimental design by taking prospective data of the patients. The study was done at the Regional Hospital of West Nusa Tenggara Province (NTB Provincial Hospital). The research sample consisted of 30  out patient of NTB Provincial Hospital with a primary diagnosis of hypertension that given with single therapy of amlodipine. The results of this study showed that there was no significant difference in blood pressure reduction (systole and diastole) of primary hypertension outpatient and there was a significant effect of systolic blood pressure based on the adherence of taking medication. However, there was no significant effect between adherence of taking medication and diastole blood pressure.
Analysis of Quantitative Traits and Estimation of Heritability in Early Generations of a Single Cross in Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill)
Authors: Vu Thuy Hang Thi , Vu Hoa Dinh
Published: February 2019

Genetic variability and heritability of quantitative traits, particularly of yield contributing traits, are of great importance in understanding phenotypic variation and the heritable portion of the variation when making selection choices. In the present study, the heritability for days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height at maturity, total number of pods per plant, number-filled pods per plant, 100-seed weight, and grain yield per plant were estimated by variance components from variance analysis of parents and F2 and F2:3 progeny families derived from a single cross. Heritability estimates were high for days to 50% flowering and 100-seed weight, moderate for the number of pods per plant and number of filled pods per plant, and low for seed weight per plant. These results suggested that in the early segregating generations, direct selection for seed size, plant height, and a number of pods per plant might be more efficient than the direct selection for seed yield.

Authors: Dogjani Agron , Jonuzi Engjellushe , Osmanaj Shkelzen , Gradica Fadil , Celami Rustem , Latifi Rifat
Published: February 2019

Background: In the last decade, the risk of terrorist attacks has increased largely almost worldwide. In this setting, disaster response personnel must understand the unique physiopathology of injuries as-sociated with explosions and must be prepared to assess and treat the people injured in such tragedies. The ammunition explosion in Gërdec, Vora, just 13 miles from the capital of Albania, Tirana, confronted our country with a real human tragedy with severe casualties. The striking force of the two consecutive explosions resulted in two consecutive earthquakes with respectively an amplitude of 9.2 and 2.5 on the Richter scale.

Objective: To explain the classification of explosives and in connection with it to identify the major types of explosive and blast injuries, and the management options in the cases of explosions and blast injuries.

Material & Methods: Efforts to dismantle Albania’s stockpiles of obsolete munitions took a catastroph-ic turn on March 15th, when a series of explosions occurred as crews were clearing out a storage depot in Gërdec, on 15th of March 2008, at 12:15 AM hours. Gërdec is located 10 km northwest of the capital of Albania, Tirana; near the national highway Tirana-Durres and at a distance of 3-4 km in air line from National Airport. Data presented here were collected from the patients’ files in our Trauma UHC and from the official reports from the different governmental offices.

Conclusion: The explosive and blast injuries now present a true modern epidemic disease that threat-en the very survival of the free world. A thorough understanding of detonation and blast dynamics by the treating teams is required to better correlate the injury patterns presented. This is also critical for revision of current multiple casualty protocols. It is up to the medical establishment to prepare suitable protocols, coordinate manpower and secure medical resources to successfully handle such events.
Spanish-Language Community Radio as a Resource for Health Promotion Campaigns Targeted to Farmworkers and Recent Immigrants
Authors: Kissam Edward , Intili Jo Ann
Published: February 2019

This report describes findings from recent audience research on the impact of health promotion campaigns conducted by Radio Bilingue, a Spanish-language community public radio network. The discussion includes estimates of audience size and analysis of the station’s ability to reach the population targeted in the health promotion campaigns: low-literate farmworkers, recent immigrants, and the parents of pre-school age children. The authors conclude that station identity and communication style play a crucial role in catalyzing listeners’ discussion of health topics with family members, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. This, in turn, has important implications for developing health promotion strategies and designing media campaigns directed to Latino immigrant populations.

Published: February 2019

In this study, we have synthesized polyurethane based on monoglyceride and 4.4 '-diphenyl methanediisocyanate (MDI) – an environmentally friendly polymer. Graphene oxite (GO) was used to reinforce for polyurethane forming polyurethane/graphene oxide (PU/GO) nanocomposite. The synthesis of PU and PU/GO was performed directly on the twinscrew extruder. This is a simple, time saving, economical and environmentally friendly method. Nanocomposites were manufactured with GO phase changed from 0.5% to 1.5% by weight. Structural analysis results of PU/GO showed a good dispersion through TEM figure (transmission electron microscopy). In addition, the mechanical and thermal properties of the nanocomposite were improved as compared to the original polyurethane. This study is a new step for the synthesis of polyurethane and nanocomposite based on polyurethane by the melt intercalation method.

Dampak Era globalisasi terhadap negara berkembang, akan berpengamh pada pembahan struktur masyarakat Indonesia dari masyarakat agraris menuju ke struktur Industrialis. Dampak yang akan ditimbulkan kemudian adalah munculnya kesenjangan domestik serta tidak meratanya hasil pembangunan ekonomi yang dapat mengarah pada terjadinya kerusuhan sosial dan unjuk rasa di mana-mana.Banyak orang yang merasa tidak terlindungi atas hak yang dimiliki,yang semestinya dapat memberikan suatu kebebasan terhadap pelaku ekonomi. Peran pemerintah dalam masalah ini sebenarnya hanya sebagai pemberi fasilitas untuk menjaga apabila ekonomi ingin diberdayakan dan berkembang, maka ia harus mengupayakan adanya suatu kompetisi yang bebas, dimana pemerintah harus memberanikan diri untuk bertindak apabila tata ekonomi mengalami gangguan dari pelaku-pelaku ekonomi.Hak asasi manusia sekarang ini menunjukan adanya suatu perluasan karena di dukung dengan adanya konsep perkembangan suatu ekonomi dan teori hak asasi manusia yang didukung oleh konsep Barat, yang menyatakan bahwa otonomi merupakan suatu kebebasan individu dalam mengahadapi kekuasaan pemerintah dan politik. Dalam hal ini bahwa konsep hak asasi manusia dapat mempengaruhi sikap dan kenyataan luas untuk memiliki akibat yang nyata dan positif dalam program proyek pembangunan di dunia berkembang.Pada akhirnya pembangunan di dunia berkembang yang berorientasi kepada pasar bebas dalam menghadapi era globalisasi menuntut adanya suatu kebijakan untuk terpeliharanya stabilitas yang mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi dalam waktu yang bersamaan dan dapat melindungi pihak yang lemah dari sisi negatif industrialis melalui pembaharuan hukum.Kata Kunci: HAM, Ekonomi, Globalisasi, Pasar Bebas, Dunia Berkembang.
KONDISI KEWANITAAN DALAM KONTEKS ISLAM

Published: February 2019

Dalam konteks di mana kekerasan struktural bertengger di dalam mentalitas selama beberapa abad taklid buta yang jauh dari segala krtik, kaum wanita yang tidak tahan terhadap segala bentuk dominasi, sesekali memperlihatkan sejauh mana mereka menjadi "hamba di hamba" di dalam kemodernan yang diimpikan.Sesungguhnyaa, terdapat cukup banyak literatur yang lebih-kurang membahas secam kritis tentang status wanita di dalam Qur’an, hukum dan tradisi muslim. Kita akan melihat pendekatan ini lebih cocok dengan tujuan-tujuan apologetik, ideologis dan militan ketimbang kebutuhan untuk menjelaskan persoalan yang membingungkan ini. Dengan memperhatikan aneka ragam konteks sosial politis, budaya dan hirtoris di mana Islam berada sebagai faktor di antara berbagai faktor lain, tetapi sama sekali tidak eksklusif, kita terpaksa memperluas analisa kepada beberapa data sosiologis dan antropologis.Kita akan menguji satu problematika historis dan antropologis tentang kaum wanita dalam rangka menggeser berbagai diskusi polemis, sikap militan, pengulangan setia untuk mendekontruksi mentalitas yang senantiasa menguasai wacana kewanitaan.Para pembaca, terutama para pembaca wanita, yang hidup dalam lingkungan Islami akan dapat menilai sedemikian rupa ketepatan beberapa fakta yang diberikan untuk suatu pendekatan antropologis, dan bukan saja pendekatan keislaman yang sempit, tentang persoalan wanita.Artikel ini merupakan jawaban terhadap desakan atas penulis untuk mengupas secara tuntas problema tentang emansipasi kaum wanita dalam konteks Islam. Dengan pendekatan antropologis dan historis dalam lima tataran (antropologis, semiologis, sosiologis, politis, historis) penulis berkesimpulan bahwa jalan menuju emansipasi yang optimal bagi kondisi kaum wanita dalam konteks Islam masih panjang dan berat.
TANGGUNGJAWAB ILMUWAN MUSLIM DALAM MASYARAKAT
Authors: Baihaqi Wazin
Published: February 2019

Tidak semua pengetahuan memenuhi kaidah-kaidah ilmiah. Pengetahuan ilmiah memiliki kriteria tertentu seperti pengetahuan (knowledge), tersusun secara sistematis, menggunakan pemikiran dan dapat dikontrol secara kritis oleh orang lain (obyektif). Dalam kerangka filsaf ilmu, sebuah pengetahuan dapat disebut pengetahuan ilmiah (science) apabila memenuhi aspek-aspek ontologis, epistemologis dan aksiologis. Karena itu seorang ilmuwan adalah orang yang mampu menyelami dunia pengetahuan ilmiah dengan mengikuti kaidah-kaidah keilmuan yang telah ditetapkan, terutama dalam menggali dan memperoleh data. Jelas sekali bahwa pengetahuan ilmiah mengandalkan kekuatan logika dan hanya membatasi diri pada gejala-gejala konkrit yang dapat diindera oleh manusia.Seorang ilmuwan tidak hanya menunjukan sebuah kemampuan berfikir logis dan argumentatif, tetapi ia memiliki sebuah pandangan tentang bagaimana ilmu tersebut digunakan. Beberapa ilmuwan memilih sikap netral dan menyerahkan penggunaan ilmu pengetahuan sesuai keinginan dan kebutuhan masyarakat. Kelompok ilmuwan lain memilih untuk memiliki sikap formal dengan memperhitungkan kegunaan ilmu pengetahuan tersebut dengan nilai-nilai kemanusiaan, mempertimbangkan kelestarian alam dal memiliki pertimbangan kelestariannya. Ilmuwan memiliki tanggung jawab terhadap profesinya untuk senantiasa prefesional dan loyal terhadap asas-asas profesi seperti kejujuran, obyektif, kritis dan rasional. Selain itu ilmuwan memiliki tanggung jawab sosial terhadap masyarakat untuk senantiasa tertarik dengan permasalahan masyarakat dan dengan kemampuannya membangun masyarakat tersebut. Untuk itu perlu dibina komunikasi yang baik antara ilmuwan dan masyarakat.Dalam pembahasan ini dirumuskan pula bagaimana idealnya ilmuwan muslim itu. Terdapat istilah ulil albab dan rausyanfikr untuk menunjukkan mentalitas ilmuwan muslim ideal Dijelaskan pula dalam tulisan ini bagaiman Al­Quran justru menuntun manusia pada cara-cara benalar untuk mencapai kebenaran dan menyandingkannya dengan keimanan, sehingga untuk ilmuwan muslim tidaklah mungkin memisahkan antara ilmu dan iman. Karena itu ilmuwan muslim tidak semata-mata mengakui kebenaran yang dihasilkan dari fakta-fakta obyektif yang dapat diuji kritis tetapi juga memiliki keterikatan terhadap nilai-nilai agama. Sehingga dalam mengamalkan ilmunya, ilmuwan muslim mempertimbangkan apakah pemanfaatan ilmu tersebut sesuai dengan etika Islam ?

Published: February 2019

Remotely-sensed data for urban classification is very diverse in data type, acquisition time, and spatial resolution. Therefore, preprocessing is needed for input data, in which the spatial resolution must be changed by different resampling methods. However, data transformations during resampling have many effects on classification results. In this research, resampling methods were evaluated. The results showed that mean aggregation and bicubic interpolation methods performed better than the rest on a variety of data types. Besides, the highest overall accuracy and the F1 score for urban classification maps were 98.47% and 0.9842, respectively. DOI: 10.32913/rd-ict.vol2.no15.663

The results of the uranium isotopes masses and content determination in depleted and low enriched uranium bearing samples using gamma-spectrometric data and iterative method were presented in the paper. Powders of UO2 and U3O8, compact products on their basis, metal uranium and scrap with an enrichment by the isotope 235U from 0,3 to 19,9 % were used as test samples. The sample mass ranged from tens of grams to several kilograms. Gamma-spectrometric data were processed using commercial software packages by Canberra Company: Genie 2000, MGAU, ISOCS and GeometryComposer. The proposed method provides a satisfactory correlation between the experimental and calculated data and allows estimating the quantitative characteristics (enrichment, mass of isotopes, uranium content in the matrix) of uranium bearing samples with different physical shape and chemical composition.

A load-following mode of nuclear power plants (NPP) is a complicated procedure, since there are significant changes in many interrelated processes. In order to show which control program (CP) of NPP is better to use, data mining (DM) techniques can be introduced. This study proposes a DM approach in order to show a possibility of using DM regression models for NPP. The datasets for DM were obtained by simulating two static CP of VVER-1000 NPP in Simulink software of Matlab program package.

Published: February 2019

Flow accelerated corrosion (FAC), which caused major accidents at Sarri-2 NPP and Mihama-3 NPP, is the main ageing mechanism of NPP secondary side piping. FAC determines the service life of piping made of carbon steel. Wear prediction using computer codes is considered a tool for life management. The paper presents analysis of computer codes of the USA, Germany and Russia and considers the advantages of computer codes for life management and repair planning. Some problems that arise from using computer codes for analyzing the results of ultrasonic thickness gauging are indicated. The paper provides the algorithm for piping life management at Japanese NPPs and proposes the ways of improving piping life management algorithm, which makes it possible to proceed to the implementation of piping repair concept according to their condition.
Assessing Impact of Sorption in Geological Medium on Permissible Activity of Radioactive Waste in Near-Surface Disposal Facilities
Authors: Tokarevsky O. , Iarmosh I.
Published: February 2019

The paper considers the conservative scenario of potential exposure that envisages simultaneous destruction of barriers with simultaneous release of radionuclides by the example of Lot 3 near-surface radioactive waste disposal facility at the Vektor Industrial Complex located in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. A conceptual model that considers migration of radionuclides through the aeration zone and aquifer to the potable water well, as well as mixing of infiltration water containing radionuclides with ground water in case of reaching the aquifer, was developed to analyze the mentioned scenario. Permissible specific activity of radioactive waste in the facility is calculated under the assumption that radioactive waste contains only 90Sr radionuclide. Normalysa software is used for calculations.

A review of the uranium content in ores from different deposits of the world and contains the estimated cost of its production in Ukraine is presented. The quantitative characteristics of the uranium content in the tailings materials of the former uraniumprocessing plant - Production Association Pridneprovskiy Chemical Plant (PA "PCP") Dneprodzerzhinsk (since 2016 Kamensk city) is discussed. The method of supercritical fluid extraction of carbon dioxide (SFE-CO2) complexes of uranium-containing compounds for the extraction of uranium from tailings is proposed to use. The list of materials and reagents for SFE - CO2 from complexes of uranium-containing compounds is defined. The describing of procedures and their sequence for the sample preparation are done. The calculation of the cost of uranium extraction by SFE-CO2 from tailings PCP Dneprodzerzhinsk is presented. It is found that the production cost of uranium complexes may amount of 344.32 UAH/kg (13,77 USD/kg) to 457.08 UAH/kg (18,28 USD/kg) (at the rate of the NBU as of 28.01.2016 25,0054 UAH/USD).

Published: February 2019

The analysis of the current state of research and developments in the field of creation of thermal-hydraulic computer codes has been performed. The experience of creation of foreign versions of best-estimate codes was analyzed. Considerable attention is paid to the issue of critical heat flux calculation of nuclear reactors channels. It is demonstrated that now the efficiency of application of modern computer codes for estimating of the heat transfer crisis in the water-cooled nuclear reactors requires further improvement. Calculation methods for accuracy increase of predicting this thermal-hydraulic phenomenon in reactor channels are considered. The well-known methods of critical thermal flux in nuclear reactors channels have been analyzed. Peculiarities of determination of the heat transfer crisis in the forced of the vapor-water steam motion have been reviewed. Adequacy of software computer codes designed to calculate the main safety parameters of water-cooled nuclear reactors was analyzed. The idea of the physical mechanism of the heat transfer crisis under forced motion of a two-phase flow in heated channels was considered. Particular attention has been paid to analysis of experimental and calculated data on conditions of initiation of a heat transfer crisis in fuel assemblies rods.
Pregnancy-triggered triple autoimmunity (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, antiphospholipid syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus)
Authors: Junejo Shoaib Z
Published: February 2019

Introduction: We describe a case of 22 year old female with her first pregnancy triggered Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT), Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).

Case Report: A 22 year old female was diagnosed with HT on levothyroxine during the early first trimester. During 21 weeks of gestation patient has intrauterine fetal demise and underwent medical abortion. SLE work up including antinuclear antibody and anti-double stranded DNA were positive. She underwent kidney biopsy, which revealed membranous and mesangial proliferative lupus nephritis. Diagnosis of SLE and APS was made. Treatment with anticoagulation therapy was started. SLE therapy was initiated with prednisone, mycophenolate mofetil and hydroxychloroquine with complete resolution of symptoms.We report a 23-year-old gravida in her first pregnancy, suffering from MGN and severe nephrotic syndrome, complicated by APLA syndrome. The patient was treated with enoxaparin, aspirin azathioprine, and Prednisone for a short time, in addition to furosemide and albumin intravenously. She was delivered at 30 weeks due to deteriorating maternal and foetal conditions.

Discussion: APS is a prothrombotic disorder with various manifestations, most commonly venous and arterial thromboembolism and recurrent pregnancy loss. Pregnancy may trigger an underlying APS, which may well be the causative for the miscarriage. New onset SLE during pregnancy is rare. However, in our case, the anemia, thrombocytopenia, and proteinuria led us to the correct diagnosis of SLE. HT is associated with higher rates of infertility and early miscarriages, due to the associated hormonal changes and instability. However, the association of APS and HT is not well recognized in pregnant women.

Conclusion: We present here a challenging case of new-onset triple autoimmune disorders trigged by pregnancy. Clinicians should be aware of this association and initiate early autoimmune work up for SLE and APS in patients with new onset of HT during pregnancy.
A successful neonatal and maternal outcome was achieved in this case. The patient's history revealed thrombocytopenia and APLA syndrome and continues to be treated chronically with enoxaparin. Kidney biopsy performed after delivery showed membranous MGN stage II-III. Herein, we present a case of successful pregnancy and foetal outcome in a young woman with APLA syndrome and MN.
