Photogrammetric Measurement of a Wooden Truss
Authors: Marčiš Marián , Fraštia Marek
Published: January 2019

Wooden trusses are a very specific object for measurement. They are often very complex and hard to reach; they are characterized by narrow spaces and low-lighting conditions. In recent years, laser scanning technology was mostly used for this task, because of its contactless nature, the possibility of measurement in the dark, and the robustness of the resulting 3D point clouds. Photogrammetry was mostly used in special cases, e.g., for the measurement of a few selected truss components, but not for the 3D modelling of an entire truss. However, the progress in computer vision algorithms is allowing us to accomplish image-based-modelling on very complex objects. The following contribution compares the point clouds of a wooden truss generated by the leading photogrammetry systems with a point cloud from laser scanning. The results confirm the interesting potential of actual photogrammetric methods in the modelling of complex objects such as wooden trusses.
Regression Analysis of Small Strain Shear and Constrained Modulus Measurements on Sands with Fines: Effect of Different Void Ratio Functions Used
Authors: Panuška Jakub , Frankovská Jana
Published: January 2019

The article is focused on a regression analysis of small strain shear and constrained modulus measurements of 15 different natural sands with plastic fines from the Pannonian basin. Measurements done within this work are supported by additional data on sands with plastic and non-plastic fines gathered from the literature in order to demonstrate the versatility of the approaches used and behavior observed. Bender / extender element techniques are used in this study for measuring the small strain shear and constrained modulus of sands with fines. Three void ratio functions, which are commonly used in predictive empirical equations for predicting small strain stiffness, with corresponding fitted parameters are presented, and their effect on the accuracy of the regression procedure is studied. It is assumed that all the void ratio functions tested provide nearly the same degree of accuracy and that the fitted models are able to predict the values of the parameters measured within an acceptable range of errors. Finally, proposed constant regression constants for sands with plastic fines are given.

Published: January 2019

Residential kitchens with gas stoves are unique spaces inside dwellings.Occupants directly exposed to the combustion products and thermal effects of the stove. Applying a general model with the knowledge of describing parameters, designer could taken thermal aspects also into consideration in order to provide a save, healthy and comfortable environment in residential kitchens and homes. The aim of this study to develop this model and a new ventilation method. Results of field studies shows disadvantageous effect of kitchen exhaust unit during the operation of oven. However turbulence intensity was decreased from 123% to 25% , indoor temperature was increased by 3,7K in the occupied zone due to the forced air movement. PMV index remained within the recommended intervals (between -1,0 and +1.9), therefore it could be applied to evaulate thermal environment aroun the residential gas stove. Unpleasent effect of draught is not expected.

The Dutch Reformed Church, Mission Enthusiasts and Push and Pull of Empire
Authors: Muller Retief
Published: January 2019

The various ways in which the British Empire acted as both a beacon and a repellent for Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) mission enthusiasts in the late 19th to early 20th centuries, are considered here. Focusing especially on Andrew Murray Jr, D.F. Malan and J.G. Strydom, but also with references to Johannes du Plessis and G.B.A. Gerdener, among others, the article illustrates the evolution of Afrikaner attitudes to Empire in this period. The Empire in question is primarily the British Empire, but this paper will make the case that the developing Afrikaner nationalism, in which some of these mission enthusiasts played leading roles, in some ways appropriated imperial aspirations, while simultaneously disavowing Empire in public discourse. The wider and more general relevance of this paper is that it sheds light on the allure of power, and how a minority in opposition to power might become contaminated, even captured, by that very power it seeks to oppose.

Exploring assessment for learning practices in the EMI classroom in the context of Taiwanese higher education
Authors: Li Naihsin , Wu Jessica
Published: January 2019

The EMI Classroom Assessment Practices questionnaire was developed and administered to 40 EMI (English as a Medium of Instruction) university teachers in Taiwan with the aim of meeting EMI teachers’ needs to conduct learning-oriented classroom assessment. The questionnaire surveyed the teachers in terms of their assessment practices in EMI and their self-perceived skills in these practices. The effects of the medium of instruction (English vs. Chinese) and teacher- and course-related variables related to assessment practices were also examined. The results revealed a high correlation between techniques that were less commonly practiced and those in which the teachers felt less skilled, signaling the possibility that assessment practices in the EMI classroom were dominated by the teachers’ familiarity with techniques rather than by instructional objectives. In addition, the teachers perceived themselves to be less skilled in certain learning-oriented assessment practices, such as self-assessment and designing test items that assess higher-level cognitive abilities. Compared with courses taught in Chinese, EMI courses showed a tendency to involve fewer classroom interactions and to assess students’ higher-order abilities less often, elements which are critical to the emergence of learning. Although the EMI teachers were aware of students’ difficulties with English, these difficulties were not commonly taken into consideration, and accommodations were seldom made. Finally, the teachers’ assessment practices were found to be mediated by variables such as discipline, course size, and the teachers’ focus of assessment. The findings of this investigation have implications for the development and implementation of useful training programs in support of EMI teachers’ professional development in assessment.
First-Year Undergraduate Student Expectations of two UK Chemistry Degree Programmes
Authors: Williams Dylan P , Lo Fan Hin Shane , Erlina Erlina
Published: January 2019

Recent work on student perceptions of skills development and engagement with different teaching and learning approaches have provided useful evidence bases for practitioners aiming to enhance the student learning experience. Although there has been some useful research on student expectations in non-STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) disciplines, there remains an opportunity to measure and analyse the expectations of students in STEM disciplines, particularly chemistry. The aim of this study was to measure the expectations that first year undergraduate chemists have of the types of learning experiences that will be included in their degree programmes, the amount of time per week that they will devote to different aspects of study and the types of learning behaviours they will adopt. Data was collected using questionnaires deployed at the Universities of Leicester and Sussex in the 2017/18 academic year. The study has shown that many students overestimate the amount of lecture based (59%) and small group based (57%) contact time they expect to have. Students appear to place a high value on the importance of feedback in the learning process but the proportion of students who agree they will read and act on feedback decreases over the course of the academic year. A number of factors feed into student reflections on the difference between expectation and reality including the quality of student life (e.g. quality of accommodation and social activities), value-for-money concerns (e.g. the amount of contact time and the quality of teaching) and matters related to workload and learning support.

Investment Attractiveness and External Competitiveness of the Nigerian Economy
Authors: Zanoskina Ekaterina
Published: January 2019

The article examines the degree of Nigeria’s attractiveness for foreign investors. The paper highlights the main problems that the latter face when they enter the Nigerian investment market. Those issues have acquired particular relevance in connection with Nigeria’s assuming a new economic role – since 2014 the country has become the largest economy on the African continent, surpassing that of South Africa. Great efforts are made in the country to achieve the role of the economic “locomotive” of the continent. At the same time, the strengthening of economic positions is turning the country into a regional power, which attracts special attention not only from African, but also from overseas players. The article examines the investment capacity of the Nigerian market, the availability of credit, the susceptibility to innovation and new technologies. At the same time, specific “bottlenecks” have been identified that reduce Nigeria’s external investment competitiveness, such as its underdeveloped infrastructure, electricity supply problems, crime, corruption, and others.
The Role of Islam in the Political Life of Sudan
Authors: Fakhrutdinova Nailia
Published: January 2019

The aim of the study is to show the historical development of the influence of Islam on the formation of political forces in Sudan in the post-colonial period. The region’s role in the struggle for power in independent Sudan is analyzed. The reaction of the world to the introduction of Sharia norms in the southern provinces of Sudan explored. The author elaborates possible ways of development similar to Sudan in other countries of the region. The study shows that conniving at the radical Islamism the authorities is prone of unforeseen consequences. The author has collected the data on the new socio-political organization “National Congress”. In contrast to the existing clerical parties and the suffiist brotherhoods, the NK adheres to the principle of broad participation of the masses in the religious and political processes of Sudanese society. A new model of Islamic parties, has emerged which differentiates the experience of Sudan from other African countries.
Russian-African relations and the US factor in 2015–2018
Authors: Urnov Andrey
Published: January 2019

This article is an attempt to trace the impact of the US factor on the Russian African relations during the last years of B. Obama’s administration rule and at the initial stage of D. Trump presidency (2015–2018). The comparative assessment of Moscow and Washington African policy is made. The author demonstrates distinctions and continuity in the activities of the two US administrations in Africa. D. Trump has not included Africa in the list of his foreign policy priorities. Washington however has no intention to withdraw from the Black continent. There, as everywhere, “the American leadership” remains the invariable aim. In the 21th century, the Russia Federation policy in Africa has become much more active. Guided by the concept of multipolar world and in view of its current potential, economic in particular, Moscow has no intention to compete with the USA and other foreign actors for the overwhelming influence in Africa. Its tasks are pragmatic and realistic. In Africa, as globally, the US policy towards Russia is hostile. However the author is of the opinion that Washington does not consider Russia as a serious threaten for its positions and plans in Africa. The new National security strategy of the United States of America approved in December 2018 is full of antirussian outbursts, but in a section, dealing with the US priorities in Africa, Russia is not mentioned. The main American enemies there are international terrorists and China. Hence, no tough confrontation between the two parties – so far. Therefore rivalry there is confined to competition. The article is focused on visits in March 2018 of the Russian foreign minister S. Lavrov to Angola, Namibia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia and of then US Secretary of State R.Tillerson to Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Chad and Nigeria. The situation around some most sensitive US-Russia points of intersection in Africa – such as Egypt, Libya and South Africa Republic – is analyzed. The development of Cairo’s bilateral relations with Washington and Moscow is reviewed. It is noted that cooperation between Russia and Egypt is of mutual benefit and that the two countries need each other. But of this cooperation has its limits as the USA remains the main foreign partner of Egypt. The conclusion is that Russia has taken a course for a gradual restoration of its positions in Libya after the overthrow of M. Kaddafi. Moscow’s contribution to the settlement of the political crisis in the country is explored. Constructive contacts have been established with all major participants of this process. Special attention is paid to the National Libyan Army Commander, Field-Marshal H. Haftar. The United States preferences the head of the Government of national accord F. Sarraj. The attempts to interfere into Russia – South Africa using the resignation of president J. Zuma who firmly stood for friendship with Moscow have failed. The new president S. Ramaphosa has confirmed the policy of strong bilateral cooperation.

Slovenian Press and Russia in the late XIX — early XX centuries: attitude to K.P. Pobedonostsev
Authors: Zajc Marko
Published: January 2019

Life and work of K.P. Pobedonostsev were known to the Slovenian public, primarily thanks to the German press. The liberal public looked sympathetically at the understanding of the Orthodox Church as a people`s Church and on Pobedonostsev’s faith in the “strong” Russian people. Also, the Catholic Slovenian public emphasized that Russia needed to be understood, and also sympathized to Pobedonostsev’s ideas about the place of faith in society. But on the other hand, especially the Catholic press condemned him for caesaropapism and for persecutions against Catholics. For both liberal and Catholic critics, it was problematic to assess his attitude towards democracy and parliamentarism, although both of them agreed that Pobedonostsev’s criticism was fair.

E. Kardel and Russia
Authors: Pirjevec Jože
Published: January 2019

Edvard Kardel was the the most import ideologue of Tito’s regime. His attitude towards Soviet Union was biased by his personal experience of Stalin’s terror inthirties. At that time young Kardel studied in Moscow, where he become the witness of the liquidation of the large Yugoslav political diaspora. This experience did not shake his belief in Marxism, although inspired him the idea that it should be realized in Yugoslavia in a more human way. After the split between Stalin and Tito in 1948, Kardelj was able to start developping his «socialism with human face» and his doctrine of self-management, based not just on Marxism but on the traditions of the French utopian socialists too. His main point was the belief that the CPSU has degenerated into a bureaucratic caste, which usurped power in the name of the working class. This polemical attitude provoked in Moscow a critic of the Yugoslav «revisionism», that lasted till Kardelj’s and Tito’s death.

Optimised 3D-Printed Metallic Node-Connections for Reticulated Structures
Authors: Abdelwahab Moustafa , Tsavdaridis Konstantinos Daniel
Published: January 2019

Abstract. Structural Topology Optimisation (STO) is a prevalent optimisation technique used nowadays to reach highly complex and efficient designs (weight-to-stiffness ratio) unable to achieve otherwise. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a developing manufacturing process which overcomes many of the manufacturing limitations and realises highly optimised products through a layer-based fabrication process. Recent research on reticulated structures proposed using STO and 3D printing to design and fabricate alternative bespoke complex connection designs which have shown its significance through obtaining substantial weight reductions for the same structural capacity. This paper builds on previous research through optimising a single-layer S355 traditional node-connection under four loading cases, producing a state-of-the-art optimised connection design capable of withstanding the four loading cases considered and comparing the results to the traditional ones. In all loading cases, optimised shapes with 46.90% weight reduction were obtained with varying stress levels. A selection of the highly bespoke designs were 3D printed as a proof of concept for the applicability of AM.

Despite the increasing popularity of Bayesian inference in empirical research, few practical guidelines provide detailed recommendations for how to apply Bayesian procedures and interpret the results. Here we offer specific guidelines for four different stages of Bayesian statistical reasoning in a research setting: planning the analysis, executing the analysis, interpreting the results, and reporting the results. The guidelines for each stage are illustrated with a running example. Although the guidelines are geared toward analyses performed with the open-source statistical software JASP, most guidelines extend to Bayesian inference in general.

In recent years, the new direction such as identification of informative circulating markers reflecting molecular genetic changes in the DNA of tumor cells was actively developed. Smoking-related DNA adducts are very promising research area, since they indicate high pathogenetic importance in the lung carcinogenesis and can be identified in biological samples with high accuracy and reliability using highly sensitive mass spectrometry methods (TOF/TOF, TOF/MS, MS/MS). The appearance of DNA adducts in blood or tissues is the result of the interaction of carcinogenic factors, such as tobacco constituents, and the body reaction which is determined by individual characteristics of metabolic and repair systems. So, DNA adducts may be considered as a cumulative mirror of heterogeneous response of different individuals to smoking carcinogens, which finally could determine the risk for lung cancer. This review is devoted to analysis of the role of DNA adducts in lung carcinogenesis in order to demonstrate their usefulness as cancer associated markers. Currently, there are some serious limitations impeding the widespread use of DNA adducts as cancer biomarkers, due to failure of standardization of mass spectrometry analysis in order to correctly measure the adduct level in each individual. However, it is known that all DNA adducts are immunogenic, their accumulation over some threshold concentration leads to the appearance of long-living autoantibodies. Thus, detection of an informative pattern of autoantibodies against DNA adducts using innovative multiplex ELISA immunoassay may be a promising approach to find lung cancer at an early stage in high-risk groups (smokers, manufacturing workers, urban dwellers).

Authors: Chrysanthakopoulos N A
Published: January 2019

Aim: The aim of the present case — control study was to examine the possible associations between periodontal disease indices and the risk of lung cancer development in a sample of Greek out-patients referred to a medical and a dental private practice. Materials and Methods: A total of 200 individuals were interviewed and underwent an oral clinical examination, and 64 of them were suffered from several histological types of lung cancer. The estimation of the possible associations between lung cancer as a dependent variable and periodontal disease indices as independent ones was carried out by using a multiple regression analysis model. Results: Probing pocket depth (odds ratio (OR) = 2.72, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05–7.06), clinical attachment loss (OR = 3.51, 95% CI 1.30–9.47) bleeding on probing (OR = 1.93, 95% CI 0.98–3.81) were significantly associated with the risk of developing lung cancer. Smoking (OR = 2.49, 95% CI 1.20–5.17) was significantly associated with the mentioned risk, whereas it was consisted as a confounder regarding the estimated associations between moderate/severe clinical attachment loss and presence of bleeding on probing with the risk of developing lung cancer. Conclusion: Probing pocket depth as an index for periodontal disease severity was statistically significantly associated with the risk of developing lung cancer.

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by osteolytic bone disease resulting from increased osteoclast activity and reduced osteoblast function. Aim: The aim of our research was to determine connection between bone turnover markers and presence of bone lesions, their degree of severity, to monitor MM bone disease and to assess effectiveness of anti-myeloma treatment. Materials and Methods: Serum samples and clinical data from 123 patients with newly diagnosed MM were collected at Riga East Clinical University Hospital (Riga, Latvia) from June 2014 to June 2016. Bone lesions detected by radiography, CT scans, MRI, and PET/CT were divided into degrees from 0 to 3 (0 — no bone involvement, 1 — ≤ 3 bone lesions, 2 — ≥ 3 bone lesions, 3 — fracture). Staging was performed applying Durie/Salmon (DS) and International Staging System classifications. Progressive disease was defined as development of one or more new bone lesions. The levels of bone metabolic markers β-isomerized C-terminal telopeptide of collagen type I (β-CTX) and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (bALP) were monitored regularly in the year. Results: Bone lesions were found in 86 (69%) patients. From these 6 (4%) patients had 1st degree, 11 (9%) had 2nd degree and 69 (56%) had 3rd degree bone lesions. Level of the bone resorption marker β-CTX in the control group was 0.41 ng/ml, which is lower than in MM patients (p < 0.001). Spearman correlation coefficient analysis found a positive and statistically significant correlation (rs = 0.51, p < 0.001) between bone lesions degree and β-CTX levels. Mean β-CTX for patients without bone lesions was 0.72 ng/ml (SD = 0.64), but for patients with 3rd degree bone lesions it was 1.34 ng/ml (SD = 0.65) difference being 38% (p < 0.001). In patients who responded to therapy after 6 months of treatment reduction of β-CTX was found compared to baseline values (M = –0.65). In contrast, in patients who did not respond to therapy, there was a statistically significant (p < 0.001) increase in β-CTX values after six months of treatment compared to baseline values (M = 0.42). Exact cutoff value of β-CTX is 0.79. When analyzing mean bALP, no significant difference between MM patients and control group was found. ANOVA statistical analysis showed no statistically significant differences in bALP levels at different degrees of bone lesions (p = 0.95) in MM patients. Analysis of bALP suitability as MM diagnostic marker using receiver operating characteristics curve showed that bALP is not applicable for clinical diagnosis of MM (AUC 0.5, p > 0.05). However, β-CTX was found to be an excellent diagnostic marker for MM (AUC 0.91; 95% confidence interval, 0.88–0.94; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Patients with MM and bone lesions have increased value of bone resorption marker β-CTX. There is a correlation between bone resorption marker and degree of bone lesions. Changes in β-CTX levels may be used to monitor the effectiveness of myeloma treatment.

Published: January 2019

Aim: In the present study, we investigated the hypothesis whether exposure to wood smoke increases the risk of cervical cancer (CC) in North-Indian women who inherit different polymorphic forms of chemical metabolizing genes (GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1 and CYP1A1). Materials and Methods: One hundred fifty histologically confirmed CC patients and equal number of cancer-free age and ethnicity matched controls were genotyped for genetic polymorphism in chemical metabolizing genes by using polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism method. The association of the different genotypes and exposure to wood smoke with the risk of CC in North-Indian women was estimated by doing statistical analysis using Statistical Package for the Social Science. Results: It was observed that the variant genotypes of GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1 and CYP1A1 did not significantly increase the risk of CC. However, statistically significant increased risk (odds ratio 3.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.34–9.78; p = 0.008) was observed for women who used wood for cooking and had GSTM1 (null) genotype. Conclusions: The present study suggests that genetic differences in the metabolism of wood smoke carcinogens, particularly by GSTM1, may increase the risk of CC.

Background: Prostate cancer is one of the most common male cancers in Western countries and takes the third place in morbidity in Ukraine. It is a highly heterogeneous disease. Aim: To analyze relative expression levels of the TGFB1, IL1B, FOS, EFNA5, TAGLN, PLAU, and EPDR1 genes in malignant and non-malignant prostate tissues. Materials and Methods: Total RNA was isolated from 16 prostate adenomas, 37 prostate adenocarcinomas, and 29 conventionally normal prostate tissues. To analyze relative gene expression levels the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed. Results: The significant alterations in the relative expression levels were found in all analyzed sample groups for 4 genes: FOS, EFNA5, IL1B, and TGFB1. We have found that FOS and EFNA5 were more frequently overexpressed in carcinomas with Gleason score ≤ 7, compared with adenomas. On contrary, PLAU expression levels were decreased more frequently in prostate cancers, compared with conventionally normal tissues. Noteworthy, we found positive correlation between IL1B expression level and PSA (for patients with slight PSA increase, no more than 20.0 ng/ml). Conclusion: The EFNA5, FOS, IL1B, PLAU, and TGFB1 genes that showed significant expression alterations in prostate tumors, compared with conventionally normal prostate tissue, may play role in prostate cancer development and should be further investigated.
