The Analysis of Vibration Signals of Critical Points of the Bus Body Frame
Authors: Kilikevičius Artūras , Kilikevičienė Kristina , Fursenko Antanas , Matijošius Jonas
Published: December 2019

In this paper, authors have investigated wave distribution caused by the mechanical structure of a passenger bus body frame and its parameters based on the theory of covariance functions. Authors have measured the intensity of vibrations at fixed points. Time scale analyses were conducted based on data arrays (matrixes). The estimates of covariance functions clearly showed that changes in the state of the bus mechanical structure invariably impact changes of the intensity of vibration signals at the relevant points. In the analysis, software Matlab 7 was applied.

Published: December 2019

With certainty, we can say that we are in the process of a new big revolution that has its name, Big Data. Though the term was devised by scientists from the area such as astronomy and genomics, Big Data is everywhere. They are both a resource and a tool whose main task is to provide information. However, as far as it can help us better understand the world around us, depending on how they are managed and who controls them, they can take us in some other direction. Although the figures that bind to Big Data can seem enormous at this time, we must be aware that the amount of what we can collect and the process is always just a fraction of the information that really exists in the world (and around it). However, from something we have to start!

The Multimodal Evocation of Minds in Audio Drama
Authors: Bernaerts Lars
Published: December 2019

This article discusses the construction of fictional minds in audio drama. Drawing upon social semiotics, cognitive narratology, and the narratology of audio drama, it starts from the premise that a character's consciousness in radio plays is shaped by the conventions, constraints, and affordances of the medium. This means that the semiotic modes of the radio play are exploited in a particular way to give listeners the impression that they are accessing a character's mind, e.g. through a voice's pitch or the verbal rendering of thoughts. In a dynamics of remediation, audio drama conventionally adopts narrative strategies associated with drama (e.g., soliloquy) as well as novelistic (e.g., thought report by a heterodiegetic narrator) and cinematic procedures (e.g., extradiegetic music as an accompaniment to characters' emotions) to evoke minds. Three adaptations will serve to illustrate this dynamics: Madame Bovary (PBS, 1986), Oeroeg (2009) and The Divine Comedy (BBC, 2014). By taking imported conventions into account alongside the audiophonic deployment of voice, music, sound, silence, and words, the article aims to further our understanding of minds in audio drama – which is relatively unknown territory in narratology – and contribute to the debate on fictional minds in cognitive and transmedial narratology.
Experimental Acoustic Life Writing: Gerhard Rühm's Radio Plays
Authors: Arteel Inge
Published: December 2019

In this article I focus on a selection of radio plays by the Austrian author Gerhard Rühm and analyse them from the perspective of life writing, starting with Irene Kacandes' findings on the increased referential effect of experimental life writing (2012). I want to extend the notion of experimental life writing to the medium of the experimental radio play and investigate whether and how the experiments with spoken language, voice, and musicalisation of language contribute to an effect of realness and create an aural world infused with lived experientiality. I'm particularly interested in the relationship between individualised, figurative voices and sounds, as they are to be expected in (auto)biographical art, and the defiguration and deindividualisation in the experimental, synthetic manipulation of human language and voice. Situating the corpus in the history of the German Neues Hörspiel, my analysis hopes to prove that the reality effect of the experimental (auto)biographical radio play does not, or at least not only, refer to an individual biographical self. Instead, the complex constellation of text and paratext, of scripted and spoken language, and of voice and music opens up the referential level for a broader, more general human experientiality. Most importantly, the technical possibilities of the radiophonic medium allow an intricate play with the semantics of referential language, with masking and unmasking voices, and with the exploration of the pathos of speaking together.

Kenaikan tertinggi terjadi pada tikus dengan perlakuan ekstrak 40% dimulai pada hari ke 10 perlakuan, meningkat secara signifikan pada hari ke 15 dan mengalami penurunan kembali pada hari ke 20.  Dari hasil pengolahan uji statistik ANOVA diperoleh nilai signifikansi 0,551>0,05 artinya H0 ditolak dan H1 diterima sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa suspensi ekstrak batang brotowali (Tinospora crispa L.) efektif terhadap kenaikan berat badan tikus putih.
GEOGRAPHYCAL EFFECT ON THE CYTOTOXIC ACTIVITY OF Annona muricata L. LEAVES ETHANOL EXTRACT AGAINST MCF-7 CANCER CELL
Authors: Suhendar Usep
Published: December 2019

Many studies have shown the anti-cancer activities of the chemical compounds extracted from the leaves of Annona muricata or soursop plant. Cianjur and Sukabumi are quite large soursop producing area in Indonesia. This study was carried out to determine the difference of cytotoxic activity of soursop leaves ethanolic extract which were harvested from three different areas of Cianjur (I, II, III) and Sukabumi (I, II, III). The Soursop leaves were macerated with 70% ethanol using microwave assisted extraction (MAE) method. The extract was tested in vitro on breast cancer cell line MCF7 and its constituent was identified using GC-MS apparatus. The results showed that the highest cytotoxic activity with IC50 values of 9.12 µg ml-1 was determined on the extract of soursop leaves harvested from Cianjur III area. Qualitative identification of chemical constituent shows that the soursop leaves contain alkaloid, flavonoid, triterpenoid, tannin and saponin compounds. No steroid compound was detected in the extract. It can be concluded that the geographical regions affected the biochemical properties of soursop leaves.
Secondary giant cell glioblastoma in a multiple drug abuser - simple association or ethiopathogenic correlation?
Authors: Eva L. , Ples M. S. , Munteanu M. R. , Dumitrescu Gabriela Florenta , Dumitrescu Nicoleta , Ples Horia
Published: December 2019

Experimental investigations have shown that drug abuse initiates a cascade of pathophysiological events including toxic and hypoxic-ischemic injury on neurons, microglia and astrocytes, which finally lead to widespread disturbances in the brain. There are many reports about the psychiatric and neurologic effects of multiple drug abuse, but only a few clinical studies reporting possible correlation between recreational illicit drugs and gliomas.

In this paper we present the case of a 40 years-old male patient, with a long history (almost ten years) of multiple drug abuse, including cocaine, heroin, marijuana, ethnobotanical drugs and nicotine, who was diagnosed and surgically treated for a supratentorial secondary giant cell glioblastoma (sgcGB) developed in a diffuse astrocytoma NOS. Depending on the type of the illicit drug used by the patient and the moment of life he used them, the morphological features identified in the histological samples of our patient confirmed the gliomagenesis effect of chronic multiple drug abuse, but also its inhibitory effects on tumour cells growth. This was due to the fact that although the tumour was large in size and caused brain sub-falcine herniation, the patient reported the onset of seizures only late in the evolution.

In conclusion, the diagnosis of a brain tumour should take into consideration not only patient's clinical and imaging data, but also his lifestyle, especially his addiction to recreational drugs.

Introduction: Cushing's disease (CD) is a complex endocrine disorder characterized by an increased risk of recurrence and persistence of hypercortisolism after initial transsphenoidal adenomectomy, a situation requiring alternative therapeutic measures.

Case presentation: A 21-year-old female patient was admitted for weight gain with centripetal fat distribution, transient headache, hair thinning and psycho-emotional lability. Clinical examination revealed round facies, acne, purple-red striae, hirsutism with a Ferriman-Gallwey score of 20. The hormonal profile revealed high serum cortisol (of 283.1 ng/mL, normal:70-225 ng/mL) and high ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone) levels (of 260.6 pg/mL, normal: 7.2-63.3 pg/mL). The pituitary MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) examination found a 4.3/4.4/6.2mm left paramedian microadenoma. The persistence of hypercortisolism after adenomectomy required GKRS (Gamma Knife radiosurgery). Four months after radiosurgery, complete remission of the disease was achieved and it was maintained at the last evaluation. At present, the patient is 20 weeks pregnant.

Conclusions: Gamma Knife radiosurgery offers a high control rate of pituitary adenomas and a reasonable rate of remission of residual hypercortisolism after neurosurgical treatment. After surgery or GKRS, periodic monitoring is necessary for patients with CD due to the risk of pituitary insufficiency or relapse.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs-induced hypersensitivity reactions
Authors: Vicovan Andrei Gheorghe , Veres Liliana , Cucu Andrei , Turliuc Dana , Ghiciuc Cristina Mihaela
Published: December 2019

The role of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) in neurosurgical practice is a secondary one, however they are still constantly involved in perioperative management of pain or in nonoperative management of acute radiculopathy. Beside the well-known adverse reactions (ADRs), the neurosurgeon practitioner should also take in account the drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) of NSAIDs and be able to deal with it. The aim of this paper was to review the diagnostic and management steps for NSAIDs-induced Hypersensitivity Reactions. The actual stratification of NSAIDs-induced Hypersensitivity Reactions is based on understanding of the heterogeneity of immunological/non-immunological mechanisms of reactions and complexity of clinical manifestations. Practically, this stratification allows the physician to assess suspicion of DHR, based on anamnesis and clinical analysis, and to consider further practical steps to manage and eventually confirm the diagnosis. Drug allergies are considered only the DHRs for which a definite immunological mechanism (either drug-specific antibody or T cell) is demonstrated. In conclusion, clinical analysis and anamnesis of patient with NSAIDs-induced Hypersensitivity Reactions can be realized by any physician and could be enough to diagnose, but it is not sufficient to confirm the diagnosis. In vitro tests and oral provocation challenges may be necessary to be undertaken by an allergy specialist.
Adeloye-Odeku Disease in Irrua, South-South Nigeria
Authors: Morgan E. , Okwumezie C. O. , Akasike G. C. , Morgan E A.
Published: December 2019

First described in a publication by two Nigerian Neurosurgeons, Adeloye A and Odeku EL, in 1971, Adeloye-Odeku disease is a solitary congenital subgaleal inclusion dermoid cyst of the anterior fontanelle. This rare lesion, which makes up about 0.1-0.5% of all cranial tumours and 0.2% of all inclusion cysts, was initially thought to be found only in Africans. However, further reports have shown it to have a universal occurrence, as it has been reported in Caucasians, Chinese, Indians, and other part of the world. This lesion is also known as Congenital inclusion dermoid cyst (CIDS), is a benign slow-growing lesion, and if untreated, may persist to adult life.

This article gives a highlight of the disease and its management and goes further to report 3 cases of this rare benign lesion seen in Irrua, South-South Nigeria, a rural, low-resource tertiary health institution.

Incidentally and interestingly, all three cases presented within three consecutive months (January-March, 2019) at the neurosurgery outpatient clinic. Being uncomplicated cases, private and group counselling was done. The parents of the patients were much more reassured and relieved from their anxieties seeing others with similar problem. They were all worked up for surgery at different dates, had excision of the cysts with no complication and are currently being followed at the outpatient clinic.

Published: December 2019

Background and objectives. Due to marked increase in violence, the world is facing problem of refugee population either as a source of refugee population or shelter provider. These refugee population is exposed to prolonged physical and emotional distress over years, may result into spectrum of neuropsychiatric disease conditions including traumatic brain injury (TBI). Although trauma is one of the major events faced by refugee population, the exact details of the injuries still not documented and there is paucity of published literature; further these injuries may be recorded as unspecified.

Methods. The present article is intended to provide a theoretical overview of existing knowledge and gaps on trauma and injuries in the refugee population. Authors analysed all relevant articles available on PubMed and Medline using the keywords: “Refugee”, “Traumatic Brian Injury”, “Head Injury”.

Results. There is a gap in knowledge for this particular demographic population. They suffer a wide range of physical and emotional to social traumatic events. The most common cause of head injury was assault; however, motor vehicle accidents were less prevalent, and there is an ongoing struggle for resources to fulfil basic needs leading to health care taking a backseat. There is high prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder. Many of the refugees are settled in relative economically poorer countries which further add to the burden of a nation already besotted with internal requirements. There is a need for international collaboration to tackle unique problem.

Conclusion. Authors recommend urgent need to handle the root causes responsible for the generation of refugee population and at the same time it is necessary to identify the epidemiology, patterns, management challenges and consequences of injuries and barriers to seek and provide care in refugee population.
Improved pain and quality of life outcomes after percutaneous vertebroplasty for thoraco-lumbar non-osteoprotic compression fractures
Authors: Nabeeh Mostafa M. , Awad Hanee A. , Ali Nabil M.
Published: December 2019

Introduction: Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive technique in which percutaneous injection of bone cement under fluoroscopic guidance Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) has been widely and successfully accepted in the treatment of osteoporotic and neoplastic vertebral compression fractures to control pain refractory to medical treatment. However, using of vertebroplasty as primary line treatment for traumatic, non-osteoporotic compression fractures still not widely accepted and considered a debatable issue.

Patients and methods: This prospective comparative study was conducted at Neurosurgery department, Mansoura university hospital and Mansoura emergency hospital through the period between January 2015 and March 2016. 20 patients complaining of back pain due to single level thoracolumbar vertebral compression non-osteoprotic fractures were admitted to the study. Patients were divided into two groups 10 patients each, PVP group and conservative group. Outcome were assessed as regard pain improvement using Visual analogue scale VAS and quality of life using short form 36 scale (SF36).

Results: Ten patients in the PVP group received Vertebroplasty, eight males (80%) and two females (20%) the age ranged from 29 to 62 years with mean age of 44.2+8.3 (mean+SD) years. The conservative group included ten patients seven males (70%) and three females (30%) the age ranged from 31 to 64 years with mean age of 45.1+9.2 (mean+SD) years. The level of injury ranged from D6 to L4. VAS and SF36 results showed significant improvement in post injection results compared to preinjection and to the conservative group

Conclusion: Percutaneous vertebroplasty is safe and effective procedure to improve pain and quality of life in non osteoprotic patients complaining of traumatic compression fractures of thoraco-lumar region it decreases pain, and provide early ambulation of patients which improve their quality of life without significant morbidity.

Authors: Aichaoui F. , Khelifa A. , Assoumane I. , Al-Zekri M. , Morsli A.
Published: December 2019

Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) is often used to describe the condition of patients who have experienced continued pain after surgery. It is of multifactorial genesis and may be the consequence of various lumbar spinal diseases; lumbar disc herniation surgery or spinal canal stenosis laminectomy. The presented series included 13 patients affected with chronic pain related to FBSS who underwent implantation of spinal cord stimulation. The mean percentage of pain relief was 90 % for all patients. 60% of the patients were in a better psychological status and the intake of analgesic medications has been reduced of more than 70%. More than 50% of the patients could resume professional activities. Analysis of the risks and benefits comes in favour of spinal cord stimulation.

Published: December 2019

Background: Reports showed the intimate association of the developmental venous anomaly with infra-tentorial cavernous malformation. This association has several clinical and surgical implications, sometimes this association will be a surgical challenge and affect the selection of the safest approach to the lesion. Surgery for infratentorial cavernoma is indicated for accessible symptomatic lesion only.

Case scenario: we present a case of deep cerebello-pontine CM adjacent to the lateral recess, presented with acute clinical deterioration to the emergency department of the Neurosurgery Teaching Hospital in Baghdad, Iraq, with the only possible approach was Trans-cerebellar approach because of the medial location of the associated DVA.

Conclusion: The association of developmental venous anomaly with infratentorial cavernous malformation has a pivotal role in selection the most appropriate and safe surgical approach which should be based upon the individualized patient anatomy and the location of the target lesion.

Published: December 2019

This research was compiled based on a visual design study on the revitalization of the Mesatua Bali culture which was divided into 3 (three) periods, namely: the first Balinese Mesatua (oral) culture, the second period Mesatua Balinese culture (written literature), and the third period Mesatua Bali culture (digital visual). The Mesatua Bali culture is an oral tradition culture carried out by parents to their children. In this study begins by sharpening the substance and structure of research problems designed through the structure of the thinking of researchers. The design of the structure of thought focuses on the purpose of research, namely, to find out the causes and consequences of changes in the revitalization of Balinese Mesatua culture. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative method, in order to meet objective data needs in conducting studies on the revitalization of Balinese Mesatua culture, this study uses data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. Surgery for object research is carried out starting from observing aspects of actors, technology and targets. Furthermore, an analysis of the stimuli generated starting from space, time and atmosphere (desa-kala-patra) and the human sensory field. In the final stage a study of visual elements in visual objects is carried out starting from the composition of balance, continuity, combination, unity, typography to color. Then it is compared based on each period of the object of research with 3 (three) levels of values, namely, essential, important, and desirable to analyze aspects that influence the revitalization of the Balinese Mesat culture and dissect what are new, what remains, what was lost, and what changed from the 3 (three) periods to the revitalization of the Balinese Mesatua culture. The results of this study indicate that there is a phenomenon of change in each period from the revitalization of Balinese Mesatua culture. The phenomenon of changes occurring in the revitalization of the Balinese culture from oral to become a visual form (design) is influenced and dilaterbelak by several factors, namely: factors of actors, target factors, technological factors along with factors of space, time, atmosphere (desa-kala-patra) different in each period.

Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa tokoh idola pada film Shingeki No Kyojin lebih dipilih berdasarkan kepribadiannya daripada tampilan visualnya. Tokoh yang dijadikan idola ialah tokoh yang memiliki kepribadian yang tenang, dingin, dapat mengesampingkan perasaan namun masih memiliki rasa kepedulian, tidak banyak bicara, kuat dan kekuatannya diakui oleh banyak orang, pemberani, dan cekatan. Secara visual tokoh idola ditampilkan melalui tema warna yang cenderung hitam, putih, dan abu, juga bentuk mata dan bibir yang memiliki makna kekuatan. Aspek lain seperti pencahayaan, pewarnaan, ukuran pengambilan gambar, sudut pengambilan gambar, dan garis-garis tambahan berpengaruh dalam memperkuat kepribadian tokoh yang ditampilkan dalam adegan film.

Judicialización de las políticas sociales y cuestión social: subsidios para el debate
Authors: Jimenez Juan
Published: December 2019

El artículo destaca los elementos conceptuales que atraviesan el debate sobre la judicialización de la política, su significado y su interconexión con la política social. Es una cuestión reciente que viene aconteciendo desde mediados de la década de 1990 del siglo pasado en diversos países que sustentan Estados de Derecho concomitante a la entrada de políticas de corte neoliberal en la agenda pública. Se entiende que este debate atraviesa el Poder Judicial, la administración pública y las condiciones de vida, de resistencia y de acceso a las políticas sociales por parte de sujetos individuales y colectivos de la clase trabajadora. La línea de análisis es la de comprender la cuestión de la judicialización de las políticas sociales en sus contradicciones; considerándola como una estrategia de enfrentamiento que no supera la fragmentación de las demandas que surgen de las múltiples expresiones de la cuestión social por parte del Estado de Derecho contemporáneo.

Hal ini dapat digunakan untuk mengukur target yang sudah dicapai dan sebagai evaluasi atas pekerjaan yang sudah dilakukan, dimana kedepannya pasti akan berpengaruh kepada benefit yang akan diperoleh karyawan. Saat ini, Sistem penilaian kinerja existing yang digunakan pada PT. XXX masih dilakukan secara manual dimana setiap data yang masuk dan diolah masih berbasiskan kertas, hal ini akan berakibat kepada banyaknya penggunaan kertas, dan terjadi ketidak efisiensian dalam hal pengarsipan. Disisi lain pada saat pengumpulan hasil performa karyawan membutuhkan waktu yang lama untuk kolektivitasnya, sehingga untuk efisiensi divisi HRD dalam memberikan laporan yang tepat waktu menjadi terganggu dikarenakan menunggu data yang masih paper based dari unit lain. Hal ini dikarenakan kepala unit/departemen lain harus terlaebih dahulu melakukan approval dokumen yang dilakukan secara manual. Model Layanan Sistem Pengukuran kinerja merupakan model sistem yang dapat digunakan untuk melakukan proses mencatat dan mengevaluasi pencapaian pelaksanaan kinerja seorang karyawan pada organisasi atau perusahaan yang dilakukan secara digitalisasi, dengan menggunakan parameter-parameter pencapaian yang dapat diatur oleh organisasi tersebut. Sistem yang dirancang menggunakan metode Service Oriented Architecture, dimana metode ini merupakan penggabungan antara metode top down strategy dan bottom up strategy. Rancangan untuk arsitektur desain aplikasi akan dibangun dengan berbasiskan Web Services yang mempunyai dua akses pada masing-masing unit yang terkait (HRD, Kepala Bagian, dan Karyawan).

Swallow's nests are sold as ingredients for soups and raw materials for medicines. Because the price of swiftlet nests is very expensive so many people have started to build a swallow bird house (RBW) by spending a considerable amount of money for swallow bird cultivation. But to build RBW and grow swallow birds requires an exact and optimal location. This study aims to create a system for determining the location of a computerized swallow house construction by implementing the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method and the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method in determining the exact location of swallow bird house construction to reduce the level of loss and error in site selection. The AHP method is used in estimating the value of each parameter that is determined while the SAW method is used in assessing levels. Based on the 6 criteria for swallow bird locations, namely location height, distance from the city center (industry), air temperature, distance from rice fields / plantations, distance from waterways, and distance from other buildings, the decision support system built can be a choice of solutions to facilitate farmers and swallow nest entrepreneurs in determining the exact and optimal location of swallow bird houses.

TÜRKİYE’NİN İKLİM AKSİYONUNUN BUGÜNKÜ DURUMU
Authors: PAKSOY Semin
Published: December 2019

Sanayileşme ile yıllardan beri hoyratça atmosfere yayılmasına göz
yumulan ve insan kaynaklı olan sera gazlarının,  iklim değişikliği üzerindeki yıkıcı etkileri,
günümüzde sadece gelişmekte olan ülkeleri değil gelişmiş ülkeleri de etkileyen
bir canavara dönüşmüştür. Gelinen noktada, önlem alma zorunluluğu artık alarm
seviyesine ulaşmıştır. Dünyayı etkileyen küresel iklim krizi ile bütünsel
mücadele etmek amacıyla, uluslararası protokol ve antlaşmalar yoluyla gelişmiş
AB ülkelerinin belirledikleri ve BM’in de iklim değişikliği çerçeve programına
adapte ettiği iklim aksiyonu planı yürürlüğe konulmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı başta
Türkiye olmak üzere AB ülkelerinin iklim aksiyon planı çerçevesinde aldıkları
önlemlerin etkinliğini araştırmaktır. Çalışmada, Eurostat veri tabanında yer
alan ve iklim değişikliği ile mücadelede kullanılan ölçme ve değerlendirme
göstergeleri kullanılmaktadır.  Gri
ilişki analiz yöntemi kullanılarak seçilen göstergeler altında AB+28, Türkiye,
İsveç ve Norveç karşılaştırılacaktır.  Yapılan
analiz sonucuna göre Türkiye’nin gelişmiş bazı Avrupa ülkeleri gibi, 2008-2018 yıllarında
küresel iklimle mücadele konusunda yeterli mücadele yapmadığı; Türkiye’nin AB
ülkeleri ile karşılaştırılmasında bu ülkeler arasında zayıf kalan konumunu
istikrarlı bir şekilde koruduğu görülmektedir.
