Performance of Circular Footing on Expansive Soil Bed Reinforced with Geocells of Chevron Pattern
Authors: Kumar Sanjeev , Sahu Anil Kumar , Naval Sanjeev
Published: November 2019

Results from laboratory model tests performed on circular footing are presented in this paper to understand the performance of geocell reinforced expansive soil. Naturally occurring expansive soil was used in this study as subsoil. Geocells of chevron pattern fabricated from geotextile made up of polypropylene were used to reinforce the soil bed. The parameters studied in this testing program were the placement depth of the geocell mattress, pocket size of geocell and the height of geocell mattress. Contrary to other researchers; the improvement in the performance of reinforced bed is evaluated at a settlement level equal to the failure settlement of unreinforced soil bed. The performance of reinforced bed is evaluated through two non-dimensional factors viz. bearing capacity improvement factor (If) and settlement reduction factor (PRS%). Test results indicated that with the introduction of geocell as reinforcement, a substantial improvement in bearing capacity and decrease in footing settlement can be achieved. Bearing capacity of reinforced bed increases by more than 200% and 81% reduction in footing settlement was achieved by using geocell mattress of optimal dimensions and placing it just below the footing base.
Study Numerical Simulation of Stress-Strain Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Bar in Soil using Theoretical Models
Authors: Al Amli Ali Sabah , Al-Ansari Nadhir , Laue Jan
Published: November 2019

Nonlinear analysis for reinforced concrete members (R.C.) with two types of bars also with unsaturated and saturated soils was used to represent the models. To control the corrosion in the steel bar that used in R.C. member and decrease the cost, the geogrid with steel bar reinforcement are taken in this study to determine the effect of load-deflection and stress-strain relationships. The finite element method is used to model the R.C. member, bars and soil. A three-dimensional finite element model by ABAQUS version 6.9 software program is used to predict the load versus deflection and stress versus strain response with soil. The results for the model in this study are compared with the experimental results from other research, and the results are very good. Therefore, it was concluded that the models developed in this study can accurately capture the behavior and predict the load-carrying capacity of such R.C. members with soil and the maximum stresses with strains. The results show plastic strain values in the R.C. member with saturated soil are larger than their values in unsaturated soil about (54%, 58%, and 55% and 52%) when the geogrid ratios are (without geogrid, 60%, 40% and 20%) respectively, with the same values of stresses.

Mechanisms and Occurrence of Detonations in Vapor Cloud Explosions
Authors: Oran Elaine
Published: November 2019

Not all accidental releases of ﬂammable gases and vapors create explosions. Most releases do not ﬁnd an ignition source, and of those that do ignite, most of them result in deﬂagrations that generate low or moderate overpressures. Under some circumstances, however, it is possible for deﬂagration-to-detonation transition (DDT) to occur, and this can be followed by a propagating detonation that quickly consumes the remaining detonable cloud. In a detonable cloud, a detonation creates the worst accident that can happen. Because detonation overpressures are much higher than those in a deﬂagration and continue through the entire detonable cloud, the damage from a DDT event is more severe.This paper ﬁrst provides a brief summary of our knowledge to date of the fundamental mechanisms of ﬂame acceleration and DDT. This information is then contrasted to and combined with evidence of detonations (detonation markers) obtained from large-scale tests and actual large vapor cloud explosions (VCEs), including events at Bunceﬁeld (UK), Jaipur (India), CAPECO (Puerto Rico), and Port Hudson (US). The major conclusion from this review is that detonations did occur in prior VCEs in at least part of the VCE accidents. Finally, actions are suggested that could be taken to minimize detonation hazards.

Published: November 2019

In recent years there has been renewed focus on workplace design and its impact on workers’ productivity and satisfaction, particularly in open plan offices. Extensive research has been conducted to date on the topic of Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ). Here we sought to understand how perceived personal space is influenced by a number of variables that could influence IEQ; specifically, we tested how different levels of social density, spatial density, environmental noise presence, and type of view impact the appreciation of personal space in a shared office environment. We employed virtual reality (VR) technology to simulate shared and single occupancy offices and tested a sample of 60 participants over three experiments. We devised a novel measure of personal space estimation using a virtual disc around the participant which could be extended and retracted to indicate the perceived amount of personal space. We also used a traditional personal space satisfaction score. We found that participants experienced greater perceived personal space when 1) in a sparse rather than a dense office, 2) in a private office rather than an open plan office, and 3) having any view outside of the office. We did not find an effect of the presence of noise or increased social density (with spatial density held constant) on the perception of personal space. The results confirmed that simulated personal space in a VR environment can elicit natural, realistic responses of perceptions of spatial dimensions and that the features of the virtual office determine individual levels of personal space.
Individual differences in acted emotions: An exploratory study into the role of interoceptive awareness in feelings prompted by emotion eliciting acting techniques
Authors: Jackson David , Muir Kate
Published: November 2019

A significant part of the creative art of acting consists of arousing emotions appropriate to the character’s fictional circumstances and communicating them to an audience. This article describes a novel exploratory study which is a joint investigation of acted emotion from the perspectives of both psychology and acting pedagogy. We compare the impact on subjective emotional experience of two contrasting actor training techniques designed to enable performers to elicit and express emotion in aesthetic contexts: Emotion Memory versus Alba Emoting. We further explore how interoceptive awareness as an individual difference (sensitivity to bodily signals) influences an actor’s emotional response to the two techniques. Trainee actors (N = 8) attempted to arouse three target emotions (anger, sadness and joy) using each of the two techniques and recorded the level of subjective emotion experienced. Although both techniques were successful in eliciting the target emotion, reported emotional intensity was higher for Emotion Memory exercises. Further, high interoceptive awareness resulted in greater emotional intensity generated by Emotion Memory compared to Alba Emoting exercises, but vice versa for low levels of interoceptive awareness. Our results have implications for acting pedagogy in terms of the relationship between individual differences in interoceptive awareness and the effectiveness of selected acting exercises and have the potential to contribute to both psychological and artistic theories of emotion generation.

Authors: Kotsur Roman
Published: November 2019

У запропонованій статті розкривається формування наукових поглядів професора В.Ф. Ніколаєва в галузі охорони природи в перші десятиліття ХХ ст. Важливу роль у становленні вченого відіграло Полтавське товариство любителів природи, засноване в березні 1918 року за ініціативою академіка В.І. Вернадського. До складу товариства входило 119 членів, серед них – ентомолог Д.О. Оглоблін, учений-агроном С.Ф. Третьяков, археолог В.М. Щербаківський, літератор С.В. Короленко та ін. В.Ф. Ніколаєв виконував обов’язки секретаря товариства, систематично виступав з науковими доповідями, брав активну участь у нарадах дослідників природи України. Товариство підготувало матеріали з охорони дев’яти пам’яток природи Полтавщини. В.Ф. Ніколаєв очолював комітет з охорони пам’яток старовини, мистецтва й природи Полтавщини. В.Ф. Ніколаєв започаткував розробку української наукової термінології з природознавства. Ученим було розроблено і запроваджено анкету щодо назв комах, птахів, риб, ссавців у різних повітах Полтавської губернії, зіставлено з назвами попередніх століть. У 1920 р. Термінологічною комісією Відділу природничих наук Українського наукового товариства було видано перший том узагальнюючих «Матеріалів до української природничої термінології та номенклатури».
ЖІНОЧІ ПРИКРАСИ ТА СПОСОБИ ЇХ ВИКОРИСТАННЯ В ТРАДИЦІЙНОМУ ВБРАННІ УКРАЇНОК ХІХ – ПОЧАТКУ ХХ СТ.: АВТЕНТИКА ТА ВЗАЄМОВПЛИВИ
Authors: Khmelnytska Lyиdmуla
Published: November 2019

Мета статті полягає в неупередженому ідеологічною обмеженістю аналізі джерел та літератури стосовно способів використання в традиційному жіночому вбранні українок прикрас, як невід'ємного елементу автентичного строю. Досліджено загалом базові риси автентичного образу жіночого національного костюму, зокрема прикрас, як найбільш сталої композиційної одиниці, в тому числі механізм поєднання окремих компонентів у святковому, буденному та обрядовому костюмі. У ході проведеного дослідження встановлено, що у зазначений період відбулося остаточне виокремлення найбільш історично сформованих видів прикрас у жіночому національному вбранні та локалізація територіальних особливостей способів їх використання та компонування у відповідності до функціонального призначення та естетичних уподобань. Доведено, що в роки соціально-економічних та політичних трансформацій, прикраси залишалися не лише джерелом забезпечення економічної стабільності, але й символічно наповненими національними реліквіями, символізуючими «українство» як націю. З’ясовано, що навіть в період ХІХ – початку ХХ ст. в українському традиційному соціумі простежуються автентичні риси у способах використання та компонування різних видів жіночих прикрас, попри урбанізацію та суцільну радянізацію. Прослідковано основні трансформаційні зміни естетичних уподобань та смаків українок, щодо використання традиційних прикрас, їх основного призначення та семантичного навантаження. Доведено що традиційні жіночі прикраси, маючи багатовікову історію виникнення та глибинні традиції розвитку і трансформації форм, видів, способів носіння, залишаються своєрідним історичним джерелом нації. Завдяки зусиллям цілого ряду дослідників в Україні з’явився додатковий наочний елемент, який допомагає вивченню цілого пласту вітчизняної культури. У статті використані такі методи дослідження: порівняльно-історичний, типології, класифікації, проблемно-хронологічний, об’єктивності, багатофакторності, які дозволяють вивчати складні суспільні явища, конкретні події й факти в їх динаміці.

У статті розглядається стан побутування кобзарсько-бандурницької традиції в Україні від 30-х рр. ХХ ст. і до сьогодення. Здійснено акцент на проблемі переслідування й нищення представників давньої кобзарської традиції та популяризаторів бандурного мистецтва за документальними матеріалами, що зібрані в Музеї кобзарства НІЕЗ «Переяслав», та архівними джерелами. Автори статті акцентують увагу на висвітленні питання перших пошуків майстрування хроматичних бандур для професійних музикантів. Проводиться хронологічний аналіз створення перших кобзарських хорів, ансамблів бандуристів. Розкривається дана тематика на прикладі постатей репресованих бандуристів: учасника Першої художньої української капели кобзарів, Івана Борця з Борисполя, бандуриста та майстра бандур Оврама Яценка з с. Харківці Переяславщина, майстра виготовлення хроматичної бандури – Григорія Паліївця з Полтави, керівника капели бандуристів - Никифора Чумака з селища Шишаки (Полтавщина) та його учня – Давида Івахненка – бандуриста Донецької обласної філармонії та ін.  Особлива увага звертається на висвітлення питання зародження новітнього професійного виду мистецтва – бандурного музикування. Підкреслюється спадковість творчих поколінь від кобзарів до сучасного реконструкторського руху, у прагненні популяризувати український героїчний епос та пропагувати українську ідею самоідентичності.
ДІЯЛЬНІСТЬ МИТРОПОЛИТА АНДРЕЯ ШЕПТИЦЬКОГО ЩОДО ПОРЯТУНКУ ЄВРЕЇВ У РОКИ ДРУГОЇ СВІТОВОЇ ВІЙНИ

Published: November 2019

Діяльність Української греко-католицької церкви в роки Другої світової війни, зокрема її духовного наставника митрополита Андрея Шептицького, завжди привертала увагу широкого кола науковців. У статті проаналізовано позицію митрополита Андрея Шептицького в період німецького окупаційного режиму, зокрема щодо порятунку єврейського населення на західноукраїнських землях. З’ясовано, що одним із напрямів діяльності митрополита було створення організованої мережі з порятунку єврейського населення в період нацистської окупації,яка налічувала понад 240 греко-католицьких священників, близько 500 ченців та черниць. У статті містяться спогади очевидця – Цві Барнеа, сина рабіна міста Катовіце, де він розповідає як перебував під захистом митрополита Шептицького. Простежено, що відношення до німецької окупаційної влади митрополит висловлював у листах та пастирських посланнях, в яких засуджував людиновбивство та жорстокість німецького командування на окупованих західноукраїнських землях спрямовані на винищення євреїв. Найбільшою вдячністю митрополиту є книги спогадів очевидців Голокосту та визнання світової спільноти.

An ethical approach to health care requires that patients be provided with informed choice about management. However researchers have not addressed patients’ concerns and choices in managing headache. This study aims to describe the views of patients, their fears, use of EDs, their perceived need for a scan and its outcome for them. Methods: A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with 19 adults aged 23-63, referred by Family Practitioners (FPs) to neurologists for primary headaches approximately two years previously. Audio-recorded interviews were transcribed and analysed thematically. Results: Participants described fears about secondary organic causes for headache, like a brain tumor. They described their headaches as stressful, and leading to a vicious cycle of fear. Many believed they needed a brain scan and requested it. Participants reported relief of their fears after a scan, and in some cases relief of headache symptoms. Discussion: UK FPs now have open access to brain scanning, which may relieve physical concerns. Interventions to address health-related anxiety may also help some consulters for headache.

Authors: Neftalí Reyes Ricardo Eliécer
Published: November 2019

Background: Linear accelerator (LINAC) based radiosurgery for a brain arteriovenous malformation (bAVM) is replacing gamma knife radiosurgery. We present clinical outcome, obliteration rates and predictor factors of treatment success following LINAC radiosurgery for bAVM which is not much addressed subject in Middle East. Methods: 13 patients who underwent LINAC radiosurgery for brain arteriovenous malformations from November 2008 to November 2011 in our radiation oncology department were retrospectively analyzed. Recollection of demographic data, AVM and treatment characteristics along with clinical and radiographic follow up information was done by reviewing the electronic data base. Results: All thirteen patients underwent stereotactic radiosurgery by linear accelerator based treatment delivery system (BrainLab) over three years. These included 7 males and 6 females, with median age of 22 years. Intracranial hemorrhage was a presenting feature in 7 (54 %) of patients. Prior embolization was done in 10 (77%) patients with 7 patients having more than once undergone this procedure. The location of AVM was superficial in 9 (70%) and deep in brain in 4 (30%) patients. The mean AVM score was 0.97 with 3 patients having AVM score ≥ 1 with mean Spetzler-Martin grade of 2.7 and 8 (62%) patients having grade 3 or more. Median follow up was 30 months. Mean dose delivered was 21.7 Gy in single fraction. Complete obliteration of AVM nidus was achieved in 9 (70%) patients while 4 patients (30%) had partial obliteration. Six patients (67 %) achieved complete obliteration among 9 who had AVM score of less than 1. Post radiosurgery neurological deficit occurred in only one patient in form of right temporal field loss. Conclusions: Linear accelerator based radiosurgery is promising treatment option for brain AVMs in majority of cases with reasonable adverse effect profile.

Authors: Rustaiyan Abdolhossein
Published: November 2019

Plants play an important role in cancer prevention and treatment. Satureja khuzistanica, an endemic plant to Iranian flora is widely distributed in the southern and western parts of Iran. It is famous for its medical uses as analgesic and antiseptic in folk medicine. It has been showed that Satureja khuzistanica possess inhibitory effects on the proliferation and reproduction of certain tumorigenic microorganisms and viruses, such as Heliobacter pylori. Transcriptional regulation of some oncogene and carcinogenesis-related gene expression and interaction with both DNA and RNA are also well documented. Besides, Satureja khuzistanica is a spectrum enzyme inhibitor. More importantly, the suppression of tumor growth and metastasis, the beneficial application in combined medication, and the improvement of multidrug resistance both in vivo and in vitro clearly show its potential as an alternative medicine for tumor chemotherapy.

Published: November 2019

Neoplasm of the ovary may coexist with benign teratoma of the opposite organ. I report from an Ethnic Group in Nigeria the 6 cases which were collected during a period of 30 years at a Reference Pathology Laboratory. As the age range was from 21 to 40 years, the series confirms the uncommonness of teratomas in menopausal females. In contrast, dysgerminoma is shown to feature in younger persons. As bilaterality of neoplasms may occur in the ovaries, attention should be paid during clinical work-up.

OBJECTIVE

Patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) are predisposed to visceral neurofibromas, some of which can progress to premalignant atypical neurofibromas (ANFs) and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs). Though subtotal resection of ANF may prevent malignant transformation and thus deaths with no neural complications, local recurrences require reoperation. The aim of this study was to assess the surgical morbidity associated with marginal resection of targeted ANF nodules identified via preoperative serial volumetric MRI and 18F-FDG-PET imaging.

METHODS

The authors analyzed clinical outcomes of 16 NF resections of 21 tumors in 11 NF1 patients treated at the NIH Clinical Center between 2008 and 2018. Preoperative volumetric growth rates and 18F-FDG-PET SUVMax (maximum standardized uptake value within the tumor) of the target lesions and any electromyographic or nerve conduction velocity abnormalities of the parent nerves were measured and assessed in tandem with postoperative complications, histopathological classification of the resected tumors, and surgical margins through Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test and t-test. The surgical approach for safe marginal resection of ANF was also described.

RESULTS

Eleven consecutive NF1 patients (4 male, 7 female; median age 18.5 years) underwent 16 surgical procedures for marginal resections of 21 tumors. Preoperatively, 13 of the 14 (93%) sets of serial MRI studies and 10 of the 11 (91%) 18F-FDG-PET scans showed rapid growth (≥ 20% increase in volume per year) and avidity (SUVMax ≥ 3.5) of the identified tumor, respectively (median tumor size 48.7 cm3; median growth rate 92% per year; median SUVMax 6.45). Most surgeries (n = 14, 88%) resulted in no persistent postoperative parent nerve–related complications, and to date, none of the resected tumors have recurred. The median length of postoperative follow-up has been 2.45 years (range 0.00–10.39 years). Histopathological analysis confirmed significantly greater SUVMax among the ANFs (6.51 ± 0.83, p = 0.0042) and low-grade MPNSTs (13.8, p = 0.0001) than in benign neurofibromas (1.9).

CONCLUSIONS

This report evaluates the utility of serial imaging (MRI and 18F-FDG-PET SUVMax) to successfully detect ANF and demonstrates that safe, fascicle-sparing gross-total, extracapsular resection of ANF is possible with the use of intraoperative nerve stimulation and microdissection of nerve fascicles.

Published: November 2019

OBJECTIVE

The application of evidence-based medicine (EBM) has played an increasing role within neurosurgical education over the last several decades. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) has mandated that residents are now required to demonstrate academic productivity and mastery of EBM principles. The goal of this study was to assess how neurosurgery programs around the US are dealing with the challenges of fulfilling these program requirements from the ACGME in addition to standard neurosurgical education.

METHODS

A 20-question survey was developed and electronically delivered to residency program directors of the 110 ACGME-approved MD and DO training programs in the US. Data regarding journal club and critical appraisal skills, research requirements, and protected research time were collected. Linear regression was used to determine significant associations between these data and reported resident academic productivity.

RESULTS

Responses were received from 102 of the 110 (92.7%) neurosurgical training programs in the US. Ninety-eight programs (96.1%) confirmed a regularly scheduled journal club. Approximately half of programs (51.5%) indicated that the primary goal of their journal club was to promote critical appraisal skills. Only 58.4% of programs reported a formal EBM curriculum. In 57.4% of programs an annual resident publication requirement was confirmed. Multivariate regression models demonstrated that greater protected research time (p = 0.001), journal club facilitator with extensive training in research methods (p = 0.029), and earlier research participation during residency (p = 0.049) all increased the number of reported publications per resident.

CONCLUSIONS

Although specific measures are important, and should be tailored to the program, the overall training culture with faculty mentorship and provision of time and resources for research activity are probably the most important factors.

OBJECTIVE

Intractable epilepsy patients with ulegyria could be candidates for resective surgery. Complete resection of ulegyria in the epileptogenic hemisphere is associated with favorable seizure outcome, although the risk of postoperative functional deficits is higher. The authors evaluated the extent of resection and postsurgical outcomes in epilepsy patients with ulegyria who underwent intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) monitoring prior to resection to clarify the efficacy of iEEG-guided partial resection of ulegyria.

METHODS

Ten consecutive epilepsy patients with ulegyria (7 males and 3 females, age range at surgery 7–34 years) underwent iEEG prior to resective surgery between 2011 and 2017 with a minimum follow-up of 12 months (range 12–72 months). The diagnosis of ulegyria was based on the typical pattern of cortical atrophy especially at the bottom of the sulcus on MRI. An iEEG study was indicated after comprehensive preoperative evaluations, including high-field MRI, long-term video-EEG, magnetoencephalography, and FDG-PET. The resection planning was based on iEEG analysis. Total lesionectomy was not always performed, as preservation of cortical function was prioritized.

RESULTS

Ulegyria was seen in the occipital and/or parietal lobe in 9 patients and bilaterally in 5 patients. Ictal EEG onset involved the temporal neocortex in 6 patients. Intracranial electrodes were implanted unilaterally in all except 1 patient with bilateral lesions. The extent of MRI lesion was covered by the electrodes. Seizure onset zones (SOZs) and irritative zones (IZs) were identified in all patients. SOZs and IZs were completely resected in 8 patients but were only partially removed in the remaining 2 patients because the eloquent cortices and the epileptogenic zones overlapped. Ulegyria of the epileptogenic side was totally resected in 1 patient. Seizure freedom was achieved in 4 patients, including 3 after partial lesionectomy. Extended resection of the temporal neocortex was performed in 4 patients, although postoperative seizure freedom was achieved only in 1 of these patients. Visual field deficit was seen in 4 patients. Three of 5 patients with bilateral lesions achieved seizure freedom after unilateral resective surgery.

CONCLUSIONS

Intracranial EEG–guided partial lesionectomy provides a reasonable chance of postoperative seizure freedom with a lower risk of functional deficits. Patients with bilateral ulegyria should not be excluded from consideration as surgical candidates.
