Impact of Delays on Cost of Construction Project- A Cross Sectional Study of Pakistani Construction Industry
Authors: Khan Raza Ali , Umer Muhammad
Published: October 2020

It is widely believed that construction sector helps developing aggregate economy and reducing unemployment. Currently, Pakistan is experiencing a major transformational phase in the back drop of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). CPEC is valued at US$ 62 Billion. The present study is undertaken to ascertain the impact of time overrun of projects on their cost, the correlation between stakeholders and to predict the effect of delays on cost overruns. Causes of delays are identified by stakeholders of the construction industry of Pakistan. Two models for projects that had delay less and greater than 100 days are developed. Structured questionnaires and personal interviews are carried out to extract primary data for the study. Relative Importance Index (RII) was utilized for ranking of delay causes, and Pearson’s correlation to formulate correlation between causes of delays and cost of construction projects from the perspective of client, contractors and consultants. For predicting the impact of delays on cost of projects Linear Regression technique has been used. The results reveal that the causes of delay related to design, procurement and on-site has significant impact on delays. Pearson’s result indicates strong covenant between client and contractor. Whereas, there is a weak degree of association between consultant and contractor. Results from linear regression concluded that there is a significant effect of delay on cost of the project.
Application of local meshless method for the solution of two term time fractional-order multi-dimensional PDE arising in heat and mass transfer
Authors: Ahmad Imtiaz , Ahmad Hijaz , Inc Mustafa , Yao Shao-Wen , Almohsen Bandar
Published: October 2020

In this article, we presented an efficient local meshless method for the
numerical treatment of two term time fractional-order multi-dimensional
diffusion PDE. The demand of meshless techniques increment because of its
meshless nature and simplicity of usage in higher dimensions. This technique
approximates the solu?tion on set of uniform and scattered nodes. The space
derivatives of the models are discretized by the proposed meshless procedure
though the time fractional part is discretized by Liouville-Caputo
fractional derivative. The numerical re?sults are obtained for 1-, 2- and
3-D cases on rectangular and non-rectangular computational domains which
verify the validity, efficiency and accuracy of the method.

Entanglement and geometric phase of the coherent field interacting with a three two-level atoms in the presence of non-linear terms
Authors: Hilal Eman , Alkhateeb Sadah , Abel-Khalek Sayed , Khalil Eied , Almowalled Amjaad
Published: October 2020

We study the interaction of a three two-level atoms with a one-mode optical
coherent field in coherent state in the presence of non-linear Kerr medim.
The three atoms are initially prepared in upper and entangled states while
the field mode is in a coherent state. The constants of motion, three
two-level atoms and field density matrix are obtained. The analytic results
are employed to perform some investigations of the temporal evolution of the
von Neumann entropy as measure of the degree of entanglement between the
three two-level atoms and optical coherent field. The effect of the detuning
and the initial atomic states on the evolution of geometric phase and
entanglement is analyzed. Also, we demonstrate the link between the
geometric phase and non-classical properties during the evolution time.
Additionally the effect of detuning and initial conditions on the Mandel
parameter is studied. The obtained results are emphasize the impact of the
detuning and the initial atomic states of the feature of the entanglement,
geometric phase and photon statistics of the optical coherent field.
Numerical study on the boiling heat transfer induced by two heated plates
Authors: Shan Xiaopeng , Guan Geng , Nie Deming
Published: October 2020

A two-phase lattice Boltzmann method was used to numerically study the
boiling heat transfer related to the liquid-vapor transition induced by two
heated plates. The effects of the gravity force as well as the separation
between the heated plates were examined. The focus is on the bubble
departure behavior resulting from the interaction between bubbles, which can
be roughly classified into four types of pat?tern according to the
separation between plates. In particular, it is shown that the bubble
merging may take place twice in one cycle when the separation is close to a
certain value. This is referred to as the pattern of alternation of bubble
merging before and after departure, for which a sudden jump is seen in the
bubble release period. Furthermore, the heat flux and the flow features are
also shown to illustrate the behavior of heat transfer in the present
system.

Published: October 2020

Objectives: We
aimed to compare cardiovascular (CV) events, all-cause and CV mortality rates,
among adults with and without diabetes in countries with differing levels of
income.

Research design and methods:
Prospective Urban Rural
Epidemiological (PURE) enrolled 143,567 adults aged 35 to 70 years from 4 high
income countries (HIC), 12 middle income countries (MIC) and 5 low income
countries (LIC). The mean follow-up was 9.0±3.0 years.

Results: Among those with diabetes,
CVD rates (LIC 10.3, MIC 9.2, HIC 8.3 per 1000 person years, p<0.001),
all-cause mortality (LIC 13.8, MIC 7.2, HIC 4.2 per 1000 person years,
p<0.001) and CV mortality (LIC 5.7, MIC 2.2, HIC 1.0 per 1000 person years,
p<0.001) were considerably higher in LIC compared to MIC and HIC. Within LIC,
mortality was higher in those in the lowest tertile of wealth index (low 14.7%,
middle 10.8%, high 6.5%). In contrast to HIC and MIC, the increased CV
mortality in those with diabetes in LIC remained unchanged even after
adjustment for behavioural risk factors and treatments [Hazards ratio (95%
Confidence Interval): 1.89 (1.58 – 2.27) to 1.78 (1.36 – 2.34)].

Conclusions: CVD
rates, all-cause and CV mortality were markedly higher among those with
diabetes in LIC compared to MIC and HIC with mortality risk remaining unchanged
even after adjustment for risk factors and treatments. There is an urgent need
to improve access to care to those with diabetes in LIC to reduce the excess
mortality rates, particularly among those in the poorer strata of society.
Monitoring Suhu Kabel Trafo melalui Tampilan LCD dan SMS
Authors: Fadlilah Umi , Saniya Nina
Published: October 2020

Salah satu bagian sistem tenaga listrik yang penting tapi kurang diperhatikan perawatannya adalah transformator, terutama pada bagian kabel transformator/trafo. Di Indonesia, pengecekan suhu kabel trafo masih dilakukan secara manual dan tidak terusmenerus, sehingga diperlukan alat yang dapat memantau secara continue dan realtime. Pemonitor suhu ini dapat mengetahui suhu kabel trafo di tiap fasanya, misalnya pada Gardu Induk PLN (Pembangkit Listrik Negara). Sensor suhu yang digunakan adalah DHT22. Hasil pembacaan sensor diproses oleh arduino UNO R3, sehingga tampil di LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), selanjutya dikirim dengan SMS (Short Message Service) menggunakan modul SIM800L ke smartphone. Jika suhu kabel trafo kurang dari 40.00 0C, maka trafo dalam keadaan normal dan indikator LED hijau menyala. Jika suhu melebihi nilai tersebut, maka indikator LED merah dan buzzer menyala. Pada keadaan berlebih arduino akan mengirimkan pesan yang berisi informasi suhu tiap fasanya ke petugas. Walaupun tidak sedang di lapangan untuk memonitor, namun petugas dapat mengetahui suhu berlebih dan segera melakukan tindakan. Hasil monitoring suhu akan ditampilkan pada LCD 16x2 dan selanjutnya ditampilkan ke smartphone berupa pesan teks.

Difficulties in differential diagnosis of cutaneous manifestations in patients with coronavirus infection
Authors: Tairova RT , Gaydina TA , Dvornikov AS , Tazartukova AD , Lyang OV
Published: October 2020

Patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) and multiple comorbidities should be monitored for possible adverse reactions to prescribed drugs, including drug eruptions (DE) at any stage of treatment. Below, we describe a clinical case of a 92-year-old female patient with severe PCR-confirmed COVID-19. The patient was treated with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, moxifloxacin, acetylcysteine, and sodium enoxaparin. On day 9 into treatment, the patient developed moderately itching macular rashes showing a tendency to coalesce, but overall showed no signs of deterioration. On day 15, the rashes regressed, following a short course of dexamethasone and chloropyramine. This kind of skin reaction might have been provoked by β-lactams and fluoroquinolones included in the treatment regimen, a secondary bacterial infection, compromised immunity due to advanced age, and high viral load associated with dermatological symptoms. Delayed onset of skin symptoms might be regarded as a marker of COVID-19 severity.

Cosmopolitan Planetarity: Translating Multilingual Affectivity
Authors:   University of British Columbia, Canada (sneja.gunew@ubc.ca), Gunew Sneja
Published: October 2020

As an umbrella term, the planetary has become a type of placeholder for many different ways of rethinking how the human and the non-human interact in relation to space and time (national time, colonial time, deep time). As well, when we engage with marginalized epistemologies associated with, for example, Indigenous and other nonEuropean cultures, what kind of planetarity is constructed then? And what types of affect does planetarity generate (for example, between the human and the in/non-human) in these contexts? Language and the necessity for multilingual translations of affective concepts are at the core of such questions. My paper will consider an uncomfortable cosmopolitan planetary affect in relation to the Inuit writer Tanya Tagaq’s Split Tooth, the Korean novelist Han Kang’s The Vegetarian and the Japanese German writer Yoko Tawada.
Les guerres froides : Le film Cold War de Pawel Pawlikowski (2018)
Authors:   Université Babeș-Bolyai, Cluj-Napoca, Roumanie (laura.ilea@lett.ubbcluj.ro), Ilea Laura T.
Published: October 2020

Every attempt to replace the cold war polarisation represents a reinterpretation of the global conflict in the modern history. In my text, I will link the movie Cold War of the Polish director Pawel Pawlikowski (2018) to the analysis made by Heonik Kwon in his study The Other Cold War (Columbia University Press, 2010), who claims that the very notion of cold war as an unitary concept does not exist. Starting from this presupposition, I will examine the movie, which stages the love story of a couple crossing the Iron Courtain of the post-war Europe. The result is a Polish and British-French coproduction, opening the field of political action and moral imagination rather than of a homogenous perspective over the cold war.
Transidentité et transfiction à l’heure de la postmodernité
Authors:   Universidad de Cádiz, Cadix, Espagne (martine.renouprez@uca.es), Renouprez Martine
Published: October 2020

The Western view of the world is fundamentally a binary one, in which institutions (political, scientific and religious) have tried to pass off as natural those distinctions which are cultural in origin, particularly those concerning men and women. The male/female organic distinction has been used as supposed evidence for the creation of gender constructs. However, biology today shows that an infinite diversity of sexual orientations and identities exists within both animal and human worlds. What is the effect of “otherness” within oneself when “I am the other”? The post-modern novel Chéri-Chéri by Philippe Djian questions the legitimacy of human binary and the distinction between sexes and genders.
Violences de l’englobement et expériences du lieu originel dans le roman africain
Authors:   Université du Québec à Montréal, Montréal, Canada (bazie.isaac@uqam.ca), Bazié Isaac
Published: October 2020

Even if the local and the global have been studied from many perspectives, a notable fact in current globalization rhetoric emerges when considering the World-Africa tandem : it is the access to a more global sphere of critical voices that speak out against the (neo)colonialist conditions in which Africa's relations have historically been conceived and perpetuated. The present contribution is part of the debate on the consequences that globalization, since the 16th century, has had on the relationship of (post)colonial subjects with their original space. We will see that the telluric experience, which is understood as primary contact with the earth, is presented in African novels as a very important part of the identity process.

Algumas Notas Sobre a Tutela do Utente de Serviços Públicos Essenciais
Authors: Falcão David
Published: October 2020

In the present study we dedicate ourselves to make an analysis of the Law of Essential Public Services, giving a special focus to the mechanisms of protection of the user of such services. If it is true that, on the one hand, it has not been doctrinally peaceful to qualify contracts for the provision of essential public services as public or private law agreements, on the other, and consequently, the question of where to bring legal action arising from disputes that oppose the provider and the user, therefore, we will try to answer that question. Having made a general analysis of the user protection mechanisms, we focus on issues related to the suspension of the service for non-payment, establishing a parallel between the regimes of the Essential Public Services Law and the Electronic Communications Law. Finally, we will address the issue of prescription and lapse periods related to the right to receive the price of the service provided. At this point we will try to give an adequate answer regarding which prescription period to resort whenever the service is provided by a local authority (8 years or 6 months).

Essential oil has complex chemical substances with a lot of benefit, one of them is as mosquitoe or insect repellent. This research aims to find out the best essential oil formula for mosquito repellent. Essential oils that used in this research are citronella, lemongrass, cajeput, and lavender oil. Essential oils are characterized by its color, density, refractive index, and solubility in alcohol. The essential oil colors met the SNI which was pale yellow to clear yellow, the density was 0.8125 - 0.9114 g/ml, the refractive index was 1.4568-1.4665 and soluble in alcohol. The essential oil mixture resulted in 7 series of formula, namely series A1-A5, B1-B5, C1-C5, D1-D5, E1-E5, F1-F5, and G1-G5. The organoleptic test performed on all formula showed that the preferred formula was the formula E3, G3, and F3. All preferred formula were carried out repellent tests against mosquitoes to determine the effectiveness of the oil mixture in Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) carrier. The result showed that E3 was more effective repellent compare to F3 and G3 formulas, because it has protection value more than 90% until fourth-hour.
Impact of the idea of simple universal language for description of the world and “calculation of thinking” upon emergence of the project of Internet
Authors: Popova Aleksandra Vital'evna
Published: October 2020

The subject of this research is the idea of simple universal language for description of the world in its relation to the so-called calculative thinking. The idea of simple universal language became one of the core philosophical ideas that led to the emergence of the project of Internet. Most remarkable incarnation of the idea became the Characteristica universalis of Leibniz, intended as a project for clarification of the precise names of things in existence. Development of the project led Leibniz to the work with binary calculation, which is imparted with ontological meaning within the framework of correspondence of the philosopher with the missionary in China – Father Bouvet. The article analyzes the critical perspective upon Leibniz's philosophy as the representative of the new European calculative thinking. Research methodology is based on the correspondence of Leibniz and Father Bouvet, as well as retrospective analysis of evolution of the idea of universal language. The main conclusion consists in the thought that the idea of creation of simple universal language for describing the world through the number of historical interactions strongly affected origination of the Internet. Leibniz brings under deliberation the binary system of calculation, which he considers ontological and reflects the divine harmony of the world. The article also examines the criticism towards calculative new European thinking, formulating a conclusion that the attempt to replace reasoning with calculations and formalization does not always mean leveling things in existence to the state of objects, but rather represents one of the core vectors of thinking of the European man, and is associated with the ideas on the “great chain of existence”, completeness and continuity of all in the world.

Authors: Christensen Marianne , Zellers Jennifer A. , Kjær Inge Lunding , Silbernagel Karin Grävare , Rathleff Michael Skovdal
Published: October 2020

Objectives

To (1) describe which resistance exercises are used in the first 8 weeks of treatment for acute Achilles tendon rupture and (2) assess the completeness of reporting of the exercise descriptions.

Design

Scoping review.

Literature Search

We searched the MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) databases.

Study Selection Criteria

Randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and case series (10 or more participants) that reported using resistance exercise in the immobilization period in the first 8 weeks of treatment for acute Achilles tendon rupture were included.

Data Synthesis

Completeness of exercise description was assessed with the Consensus on Exercise Reporting Template (CERT) and the Toigo and Boutellier exercise descriptor framework.

Results

Thirty-eight studies were included. Fifty-one resistance exercises were extracted and categorized as isometric exercises (n = 20), heel raises (n = 6), strengthening with external resistance (n = 13), or unspecified (n = 12). A median of 8 (interquartile range, 6–10) of a possible 19 CERT items was reported. The amount of items described of the 13 Toigo and and Boutellier exercise descriptors ranged from 0 to 11.

Conclusion

A variety of resistance exercises targeted at the ankle plantar flexors were used as part of early functional rehabilitation after Achilles tendon rupture. However, most studies provided inadequate description of resistance exercise interventions. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(12):681–691. Epub 23 Oct 2020. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.9463
