Introduction: It is unclear if the assessment of early child development can be carried out using a group approach, as opposed to individually.
Objective: To compare scores obtained from children aged 22 to 26 months assessed either in small groups or individually using the INTERGROWTH-21st Neurodevelopment Assessment  (INTER-NDA), which measures cognition, language, motor skills, behavior, attention and socio-emotional reactivity.
Methods: A small group based strategy for administering and scoring the INTER-NDA was developed. Thirty-six preschool children attending four Centros de Cuidado y Atención Infantil of the Sistema Nacional para el Desarrollo Integral de la Familia (DIF) of Mexico were assessed in small groups of three children by a teacher specifically trained in the INTER-NDA. A second teacher, unaware of the group results, assessed the children individually on a different day. The sex, age, weight, length and head circumference of the children at the time of assessment were recorded.
Results: INTER-NDA domain scores for group and individual assessments were statistically significantly correlated (range r=0.35 to r=1.00) for all domains except receptive language (r=0.25, p=0.14). Bland-Altman analysis showed agreement between group and individual scores for the language, behavior, attention and socio-emotional reactivity domains, and consistency (but not agreement) between group and individual scores for the cognitive and motor domains. None of the differences between group and individual scores examined were statistically significant, even after adjusting for the children’s age, sex, nutritional status and location of the preschool.
 
Conclusion: INTER-NDA domain specific scores obtained following group and individual assessment of children aged 22 to 26 months are consistent. It is feasible for trained preschool teachers to administer INTER-NDA at both group and individual level.

Thermodynamically Limited Cu-Zn Order in Cu2ZnSnS4 from Monte Carlo Simulations
Authors: Wallace Suzanne , Frost Jarvist M. , Walsh Aron
Published: May 2018

Kesterite-structured Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is a semiconductor that is being studied for use as the absorber layer in thin-film solar cells. Currently the power-conversion efficiencies of this technology fall short of the requirements for commercialisation, despite the promising sunlight-matched optical band gap. Disorder in the Cu-Zn sub-lattice has been observed and is proposed as one possible explanation for the shortcomings of CZTS solar cells. Cation site disorder averaged over a macroscopic sample does not provide insights into the microscopic cation distribution that will interact with photogenerated electrons and holes. To provideatomistic insight into Cu-Zn disorder we have developed a Monte Carlo (MC) model based on pairwise interactions. We utilise two order parameters to relate Cu-Zn disorder to the processing temperature for stoichiometric systems: one based on cation site occupancies (the Q order parameter) and the other based on cation pair-correlation functions. Our model predicts that the order parameters reach a plateau at experimentally relevant low temperatures, indicating that Cu-Zn order in stoichiometric CZTS is thermodynamically limited. Around room temperature, we predict a minimum of 10% disorder in the cation site occupancywithin (001) Cu-Zn planes.

Using the Literature to Construct Causal Models for Pharmacovigilance
Authors: Malec Scott , Gottlieb Assaf , Bernstam Elmer , Cohen Trevor
Published: May 2018

Causal discovery methods provide a means to ascertain causal attribution from observational data. Causal modeling at scale requires a method to populate models with relevant domain knowledge. We propose to use the biomedical literature to perform feature selection for drug/adverse drug event (ADE) models with clinical observational data derived from electronic health records (EHR) as our primary input data source. We reason that spurious (non-causal) drug-ADE associations from co-occurrence-based analyses should diminish conditional on sets of validated confounders identified in the literature. To evaluate this hypothesis, we used a publicly available reference data set to test the proposed methodology with 4 ADEs and 399 drug-ADE pairs. We calculated baseline scores using the rank order regression coefficients each drug-ADE pair. We then identified confounding variable candidates for each drug-ADE pair using relationship constraints based on normalized predicates to search knowledge extracted from the literature in the publicly available SemMedDB repository. To determine eligibility for inclusion, we checked whether or not there were directed edges pointing to both the drug and the ADE. Finally, we tested whether associations from co-occurrence in the clinical data are diminished conditional on sets of permutations of confounders identified in the literature. Confounder yield rate was ~ 90%, indicating that our method successfully identified confounders in the observational data. Causal models attained aggregate performance improvements of ~ 0.07 area under the curve and reduced the False Discovery Rate from 0.50 to 0.38 over purely statistical models using unadjusted logistic regression.

Probabilistic optimization of fatigue maintenance for welded components in steel bridges based on LEFM and LCCM
Authors: Zeng Yong , Tan Hongmei , Chen Dahan
Published: May 2018

In this paper a probabilistic-based method for fatigue maintenance optimization of steel bridge’s welded joints, combined with linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM), the structure reliability, and life cycle cost method(LCCM) is proposed. The probabilistic analysis method can be used with the fatigue maintenance of steel bridges. Weld cracks are classified by its size and maintenance decisions, and are made according to its size classification. Maintenance cost is divided into inspection, repair and failure costs, according to the life cycle cost method. The maintenance optimization strategy is transformed to minimize
the expected lifetime total costs with the constraints of the minimum acceptable reliability index to attain the most cost-optimal inspection and repair for the balanced costs between risk and safety. An example concerning the transverse stiffeners of welded components in the main girder of suspension bridge is investigated through the research of some
parameters sensitivity. Among all the parameters, the inspection cost is the most remarkable. The optimal time interval of repair will delay based on the increase of the inspection cost. The optimal time interval of repair will advance based on the increase of repair cost. A discount rate can drastically change the value of the total cost, but when the probability of failure is very small, the increase of failure cost has little effect on the optimal time interval of repair. The method presented in this paper can be conducted using the similar maintenance of steel structures.

The article provides insights into the nature of tax policy of the EU member states and Ukraine. A comprehensive analysis of the current state of tax revenues in Ukraine and in the EU countries has been made. In particular, their size was estimated which revealed the critical need for optimization and reformation of the Ukrainian tax system to increase tax revenues and spur the GDP enhancement. The research problems and objectives have been attained and accomplished through application of the following research methods: a comparative analysis – to assess the current state of tax revenues in the EU and Ukraine; scientific synthesis and systematization – to identify and group the incentive instruments to foster Ukraine's fiscal policy towards European integration. The share of state budget revenues and the share of tax revenues to the state budget are considered and analyzed. Recommendations on increasing tax revenues and raising the GDP level in Ukraine in the context of European best practice have been developed. It is argued that the state should not increase tax rates thus encouraging tax evasion but build a system of legal restrictions on government fiscal policy along with delivering a mutually agreed, comprehensive improvement of all structural elements of the tax system.

Authors: Lama Rajkumar , Tamrakar Naresh Kazi
Published: May 2018

Population growth, urbanization and improper land use practice cause change in natural behavior of the river system. In this point soil erosion and sediment deposition in the river channel adversely bring environmental problems like variation in discharge, surface water physical quality, sediment transportation capacity, sediment yield and stream power. In lack of proper research and planning, disasters like flooding, failure of engineering structure, bank erosion and imbalance in aquatic ecosystem can be seen. To better understand the stream, present work was carried out to determine the discharge, sediment transportation capacity, sediments yield and stream power of northern major tributaries of the Bagmati River. Subsequent to this, relations between the two or more than two morpho-hydraulic parameters with the discharge and sediments load were evaluated.The northern Bagmati River basin occupies an area of 3750 sq. km and lies within 26°42’ and 27°50’ N latitude and 85°02’ and 85°58’ E longitude. The Bagmati River, non-glacial perennial river, consists of four main tributaries contributing from the northern part of the Bagmari River basin. They are the Manahara River, Bagmati River, Dhobi Khola and the Bishnumati River. The four major tributaries including the Bagmati River were upto sixth stream order. The study revealed that water discharge varied from 0.033 to 1.983 m3/s and the grain size distribution d50 ranged from 0.0002 to 0.0250 m. The study found that the suspended load for dry season varied from 5.93 to 916 mg/L and the bed load from 6 to 393711 tonnes/day. The total sediment yield ranged from 0.58 to 22029.64 tonnes/km2/day. The boundary shear stress and critical shear stress ranged from 0.03 to 30.87 N/m2 and 0.05 to 0.06 N/m2, respectively. The stream power per unit channel width was found to vary from 0.001 to 0.06 KNm/s/m2 for tributaries. Except at few sites, the rest of the sites of the studied river exhibit competency and good capability of sediment transport of the rivers. This study helps to implement proper engineering hydraulic practices around the river corridors.Bulletin of the Department of Geology, Vol. 19, 2016, pp. 29–44

The present study focused on the use of the magnetic nanocomposite NiFe2O4/GO (GO - Graphene oxide) as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of congo red (CR). The NiFe2O4/GO was synthesized from NiFe2O4 and GO via a facile route, and the structure of this nanocomposite was analyzed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). By applying the response surface methodology, the profound relationship was found between variables (initial concentration, adsorbent dosage, and pH) and CR removal efficiency. Moreover, the model was optimized to give a favourable condition for the adsorption. Up to 94.7% of CR removal was obtained via a confirmation test, and this result indicated that the magnetic NiFe2O4/GO was a promising material in terms of treatment for CR-contaminated wastewater.

The production of natural latex is limited, and the related demand for terrestrial transportation has increased. The synthesis of rubber has become necessary and the resulting synthetics’ properties must be known. Thermo-oxidative degradation of synthetic rubbers 1,4- and 1,2-polybutadienes caused by heating the compounds at 100°C in the air, was monitored. The volatile compounds released during the degradation were identified using coupled modern physical methods, including NMR, TGA, MS, FTIR, etc.. Thermal gravimetric analysis showed that oxidation occurred for both 1,4 and 1,2-PB. Below 400°C, major functional groups were formed, including peroxides, ketone, aldehyde, ester, etc.. Oxidation was found to start on the methylene (CH2) carbon of 1,4-PB and on the methylene (CH2) and methine (CH) carbons of 1,2-PB. The polycyclohexane-like structures were identified resulting from the oxidation of 1,2-PB. Above 400°C, the main resulting compounds were carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water, and some hydrocarbons and aromatics. Radical mechanisms for thermo-oxidative degradation of 1,4 and 1,2-PBs were proposed.

The results showed that the maximum adsorption was obtained at pH = 4.0 for both materials and after 60 minutes for g-MnO2 and 80 minutes for a-MnO2. Adsorption isotherm models demonstrated that the Langmuir was the best model to describe the adsorption of Zinc(II) on g- and a-MnO2 because of the highest correlation coefficient (R2), the smallest root mean square error (RMSE), and the nonlinear chi-squared test (c2) values. The maximum adsorption capacity of g-MnO2 calculated from Langmuir model was 55.23 mg/g, which was roughly double a-MnO2. The lower 1/n value from Freundlich model for a-MnO2 revealed that it was not as favourable as g-MnO2. The heat of the adsorption as well as the mean free energy estimated from Temkin and Dubinin - Radushkevich models to be less than 8 kJ/mol indicated that the adsorption on both materials followed a physical process. Kinetic studies showed that pseudo-second-order model was accurate to describe both materials in three stages.

Published: May 2018

This article discusses how the encounter of Islam and culture in Indonesia, and how Islam on one hand  affects culture and on the other hand it is influenced by culture. The encounter between Islam and local culture has formed a new habitat that is later called the Islamic Nusantara tradition. The findings in this article prove that the interaction of Islam with local culture occurs in a socio-historical context influenced by the pattern of the spread of Islam in the archipelago. By using the theory of Taufik Abdullah in this article the author compares the three variants of Islamic Nusantara with the pattern and uniqueness of each form: a) Javanese variant, there is a process of acculturation between Islam and culture which are equally strong. The Javanese Islamic variant describes the result of a reconciliation process between identity, belief and the style of Javanese and Islam as "Mystic Synthesis". B) Minangkabau variant, born from "Negotiation of Islam and Adat" as a very thick area of Islamic and customary nuances make the dimensions in Islamic variants in Minangkabau cannot be separated from the conflict between the two parties who gave the role. C) Gorontalo variant, with different Islamiza­tion process with other kingdoms in the Nusantara in general. Since the early period of Islamic encounter with Gorontalo culture, there has been more tangible "Integration between Islam and Adat". Keywords: Java, Minangkabau, Gorontalo, Islam NusantaraArtikel ini mendiskusikan bagaimana perjumpaan Islam dan budaya di Indonesia, dan bagaimana Islam pada satu sisi berpengaruh terhadap budaya dan di sisi lain dipengaruhi oleh budaya. Perjumpaan antara Islam dan budaya lokal telah membentuk habitat baru yang belakangan disebut tradisi Islam Nusantara. Temuan dalam artikel ini membuktikan bahwa interaksi Islam dengan budaya lokal terjadi dalam konteks sosio-historis yang dipengaruhi pola penyebaran Islam di kawasan Nusantara. Dengan menggunakan teori Taufik Abdullah dalam artikel ini penulis memban­ding­kan tiga varian Islam Nusantara dengan corak dan keunikannya masing-masing diantaranya: a) Varian Jawa, terjadi proses akulturasi an­tara Islam dan budaya yang sama-sama kuat. Varian Islam Jawa meng­gambarkan hasil proses rekonsiliasi antara identitas, keyakinan serta gaya Jawa dan Islam ini dengan sebutan “Sintesis Mistik”. b) Varian Minang­kabau, lahir dari “Negosiasi Islam dan Adat” sebagai wilayah yang sangat kental nuansa Islam dan adat membuat warna dalam varian Islam di Minangkabau tidak lepas dari dari konflik antara dua pihak yang memberi peranan tersebut. c) Pola Gorontalo, dengan proses Islamisasi yang ber­beda dengan kerajaan-kerajaan di Nusantara pada umumnya. Sejak periode awal perjumpaan Islam dengan budaya Gorontalo lebih berwujud “Integ­rasi antara Islam dan Adat”.Kata kunci: Jawa, Minangkabau, Gorontalo, , Islam Nusantara

As vitaminas são indispensáveis em diversos processos biológicos, tornando-se crucial para o funcionamento do organismo humano. Devido seu potencial, diversas vitaminas são utilizadas para o desenvolvimento de cosmecêuticos. A Vitamina A foi o primeiro retinoide a ser estudado na área clínica, por sua importância na queretinização e diferenciação epitelial. Esta Revisão de Literatura tem o intuito de avaliar o aperfeiçoamento da molécula de vitamina A nos últimos 30 anos e a aplicação deste componente em formulações cosmecêuticas. Atualmente, os retinoides são uma das classes mais prescritas em dermatologia para preparações cosmeceuticas. São substâncias derivadas da Vitamina A, que de acordo com a literatura, possuem ação principalmente no tratamento de envelhecimento cutâneo, acne e fotoenvelhecimento. Observou-se uma série de inconvenientes associados a utilização de retinoides, como a instabilidade da molécula, os efeitos colaterais e o grande potencial teratogênico, dando início às pesquisas com objetivo de obtenção de um composto menos tóxico e com menores reações adversas. O primeiro composto utilizado foi o retinol, a forma ácida da Vitamina A, porém, um grande número de retinoides foram sintetizados ao longo dos anos, podendo ser caracterizados como de primeira, segunda e terceira geração. A mais recente molécula desenvolvida foi o retinoato de hidroxipinacolona, queapresenta menor irritação da pele, menor instabilidade fotoquímica e toxicidade. Contudo, apesar dos avanços, os retinoides continuam foto instáveis, com potencial teratogênico e irritativo para a pele, não sendo, portanto, substâncias totalmente seguras para o uso.

Yalnız
Çağatay Edebiyatının değil bütün Türk Edebiyatının en büyük şairlerinden olan
Ali Şîr Nevâî, Herat’ta doğmuştur. Nevâî, Timurlu şehzadelerinden Hüseyin
Baykara’nın en yakın arkadaşı olmuştur. Hüseyin Baykara ile dostluğu ömür boyu
devam eden Nevâî’yi, Herat Sultanı olan Hüseyin Baykara, yanına almıştır. Ali
Şîr Nevâi’nin Herat’ta Sultan Hüseyin Baykara hizmetinde ilk görevi mühürdarlık
(Nişancı) olmuştur. Nevâi, 3 Ocak 1501’de ölmüştür. Ali
Şîr Nevâi, yaşamış olduğu onca zor zamanlara rağmen edebiyatçı kimliğini
bırakmayarak ömrünün son zamanlarını Türk Edebiyatının en önemli eserlerinden
biri olan Muhakemetü’l-Lügateyn’i yazmaya adamış önemli bir Türk dili
milliyetçisidir. Nevâî’nin Türkçenin Farsçadan daha üstün bir dil olduğunu
kanıtlamak üzere yazdığı bu eserinden başka farklı konularda kaleme aldığı 29
eseri bulunmaktadır. Nevâî bu kadar farklı tür ve konularda eser vererek
döneminin bilimlerine hakimiyetini gösteren çok kültürlü bir şahsiyettir. Ali
Şîr Nevâî, yazdığı eserler, yetiştirdiği şairler, desteklediği ilim hayatı ve
kurucusu olduğu Çağatay Türkçesi ile Türk diline büyük katkılar sağlamış bir
şahsiyettir. Nevâî’nin Türk diline yapmış olduğu en büyük katkı dilin yapıcı
gücünden faydalanarak, milli birliği kurmaya çalışmasıdır. Bu milli birliğin
ilk halkası da milli dil bilincini oluşturmak olduğu için, Nevâî, insanların
kalplerine milli bir dokunuş yapmıştır.

Çalışmamızda
Çağatay Edebiyatı’nın kurucusu olması hususuyla Türkçe için büyük anlam ifade
eden Ali Şîr Nevâî’nin hayatı, sanatı, eserleri ve Türk diline yapmış olduğu
katkılar ayrı ayrı ele alınarak analiz edilmeye çalışılacaktır.

Bu

makalede Güneş Panelleri (GP) ve Yakıt Pillerinden (YP) oluşan karma

yenilenebilir enerji üretim sistemi için 5 seviyeli Statik Senkron Kompanzatör

(STATCOM)’un benzetim çalışması yapılmıştır. Güneş panellerinin yetersiz güneş

ışığı ve gündüz-gece durumu gibi ortam şartlarından dolayı güç üretemediği

durumlarda yüklerin enerjisiz kalmasını önleyebilmek için hidrojen ile çalışan

PEM tipi yakıt pilleri konmuştur. Bunun için iki sistem arasında geçişi

sağlayan bir adet regülatör kullanılmıştır. Bu sistem ortam şartlarına göre

uygun üreteci devreye alırken diğerini de devreden çıkartmaktadır. Kurulan

sistem yükler üzerindeki reaktif gücü sıfırladığı gibi aynı zamanda yük

üzerindeki gerilimi de 380V ve 50Hz de sabit tutmaktadır. Şebekeden çekilen

reaktif güç STATCOM vasıtasıyla sıfırlanmaktadır. STATCOM 5 seviyeli H köprü

temelli 24 IGBT’den oluşan bir evirici yapısına sahiptir. Bu IGBT’ler Bulanık

Mantık Denetleyiciler (BMD) ile denetlenmekte ve anahtarlama sinyalleri

üretilmektedir. Benzetim çalışması alt blokları ile birlikte MATLAB/Simulink
