Antibiotic susceptibility pattern of biofilm forming uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from UTI infected patients of Koshi Zonal Hospital in Biratnagar, Nepal
Authors: Chaudhary S , Khatiwada B , Chaudhary N K
Published: November 2018

Objectives: To investigate the prevalence and antibiotic resistance pattern of biofilm-forming Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) from urine samples isolated from UTI infected patients of Koshi zonal hospital, Biratnagar.Methods: A total of 51 urine samples from urinary tract infected patients were collected from Koshi zonal hospital, Biratnagar in the period of July to August 2017. Following the isolation and identification of biofilm-forming uropathogenic Escherichia coli, antibiotic susceptibility test was performed by a modified Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion technique. The biofilm detection was done by Congo red agar method.Results: In the present study, 45% of the urine samples showed a predominant growth of E. coli, among which 70% of isolates exhibited positive biofilm formation. Biofilm forming isolates revealed 100%, 87.5%, 75%, 63% and 12.5% resistant to erythromycin, amoxicillin, cefotaxime, levofloxacin, and nitrofurantoin respectively. Approximately 87.5% of biofilm-forming isolates were found multi-drug resistant.Conclusion: The study revealed the major issue of UTI by E. coli which may be due to poor sanitation, not the proper cleanliness of genitals and unsafe sexual intercourse. Nitrofurantoin and levofloxacin were examined the most effective antibiotics for UPEC. BIBECHANA 16 (2019) 47-54

We have studied the solar wind velocity and it’s relation with solar wind pressure, southward component of IMF-Bz, solar wind temperature (Tsw), solar wind density (Nsw) and geomagnetic indices during different geomagnetic disturbances. During disturbed days, there is a fluctuation of energy and plasma inside the magnetosphere, which changes the parameters like pressure, velocity, IMF-Bz, SYM-H and AE indices. The solar wind velocity shows very remarkable relationship with pressure. There is weak connection of solar wind pressure with IMF-Bz, although it is more geo-effective.BIBECHANA 16 (2019) 165-176

This study was carried with the objectives to describe the clinico-socio-demographic profile of mothers of intellectually disabled children and to investigate the relationship among anxiety and depression with quality of life in mothers with intellectually disabled children.Material And Method: Mothers (N=31), whose children's IQ score was below 70, were enrolled in to the study with their informed consent. Depression and Anxiety disorders were diagnosed as per ICD 10. Severity of depression was measured with BDI and Anxiety symptoms with STAI. WHOQOL-BREF was used to assess Quality of life. The relationship among anxiety, depression and QOL were analysed using diagonal matrix, ANOVA and Pearson correlation test.Results: The mean age of participants was 50.23 (S.D= 6.11), BDI score was 13.65(S.D= 11.301), STAI score was 53.90 (SD= 15.821), WHOQOL- BREF in all four domains was 290.90 (S.D=49.42). There was significant correlation between BDI and STAI (P=0.01, r:0.651 ) and the three domains of WHOQOL- BREF(P=0.01, r:0.821, 0.843, 0.635 respectively) scale except Environment domain. Among the participants, 48.4% (ICD 10) had depression of varying degree along with 54.8% depression as per BDI cut off score. Anxiety disorder was seen in 22.6% as per ICD 10 but as per STAI it was 53.90(SD=15.821) which was statistically significant (p:0.01, r: -0.507). Depression when compared with no diagnosis persons has poor quality of life in WHOQOL-BREF physical domain (p:0.002) but with compared to Anxiety or both it was not statistically significant.Conclusion: The findings of this study revealed that mothers of children having Intellectual disability have high level of Anxiety and Depression which indeed had impact in quality of life. J Psychiatrists’ Association of Nepal Vol. 6, No. 2, 2017 Page: 28-35
Dunsmuir and the scope of admissible evidence on judicial review: Principled limitations or path dependency?
Authors: Oliphant Benjamin , Wihak Lauren J
Published: November 2018

On its tenth anniversary, a great deal can be said about the decision in Dunsmuir v New Brunswick and the way that it and its progeny have impacted how courts approach judicial review in Canada. The grounds upon which decisions may be quashed have expanded, and reviewing courts now must consider the facts and circumstances underlying a decision under review as well as their impact on the Charter interests of a party challenging a decision. Nevertheless, the rules governing evidence admissible on judicial review have not been changed in any meaningful way since the nineteenth century. Those rules, generally speaking, still limit the admissibility of so-called ‘extrinsic’ evidence to situations involving alleged ‘jurisdictional errors’ or a breach of the duty of fairness. While perhaps not as exciting as other current issues in administrative law, it is one of tremendous practical significance to parties seeking to challenge the decisions of public authorities. The rigid evidentiary rules can mean that parties are not practically able to make the arguments that they would otherwise be entitled to make on review, and the task of the reviewing court can be frustrated. Operating from the thesis that the rules of evidence on judicial review should move in tandem with changes to the substantive law of judicial review, the authors propose a general rule permitting parties to adduce evidence necessary to the arguments they are permitted to make, subject to the courts’ discretion to exclude such evidence where there is a meaningful opportunity or expectation that the evidence be put before the decision maker at first instance. The issue of ‘what is the record’ is increasingly a live one on judicial review, particularly when non-adjudicative or policy decisions are under review. This is unlikely to change when the Supreme Court of Canada revisits Dunsmuir, unless the rules of evidence are modified in tandem.

Secondary nutritional hyperparathyroidism (HSN) is a metabolic disease characterized by imbalance of the Ca and P, leading to osteopenia. The symptoms are claudication, constipation, lordosis, kyphosis, fractures of long bones and vertebral bodies. The present study reports a case of NSH in a 3-month-old male feline fed with homecare food that was attended at UFPA HOVET presenting claudication that progressed to paraparesis with neurological deficit in pelvic limbs, constipation and urinary retention. It was submitted to hematological, biochemical and radiographic examinations, presenting severe osteopenia with multiple pathological fractures, which related to the clinical data helped to obtain the diagnosis of HSN. The animal was submitted to treatment consisting of confinement, analgesia and alimentary correction and it was obtained satisfactory evolution after 30 days with high medication after 4 months. The literature is very limited as to the clinical data and results of treatment of felines with HSN, although this pathology is becoming increasingly uncommon among felines, contributions are still needed to allow more efficient treatments and more favorable prognoses.
The Role of Peace Process in Mitigating the Trust-Deficit in Pak-Afghan Bilateral Relations
Authors: Qayum Huma , Zaman Nargis , Shah Syed Ali
Published: November 2018

The history of Pak-Afghan relations is dominated more by conflicts then by cooperation since emergence of Pakistan. In the ongoing pattern of peace process, it is proposed that Pakistan should pave the way to bring the Taliban on negotiation table for peace and stability in Afghanistan. The recent steps taken in the form of different Confidence Building Measures show flurry of diplomatic relationship in the emerging cordiality between the two countries. Diverse civil society groups of Pakistan are of the view that the drawdown of US forces from Afghanistan will ultimately create a power vacuum and plunge the country again into yet another civil war. Pakistan’s efforts to use its influence to bring the Taliban on table talk will smooth the way for peace, stability and prosperity of Afghanistan as well as security of the entire region. Keeping in view the geographical proximity of the two countries, Pakistan’s own vital interests are attached to peace and stability in Afghanistan. Pakistan took cognizance of this very fact and played highly constructive role in facilitating dialogue process in Afghanistan and improving bilateral ties of the two countries.
Odmowa pełnienia służby wojskowej przez Świadków Jehowy jako realizacja klauzuli sumienia. Uwarunkowania prawno-historyczne
Authors: Bielecki Marek
Published: November 2018

Przedmiotem niniejszego opracowania są kwestie związane ze służbą wojskową Świadków Jehowy. Autor w głównej mierze skupia się na rozwiązaniach normatywnych i analizie orzecznictwa sądowego, ale przytacza również najważniejsze wątki z nauczania Świadków Jehowy. Artykuł przedstawia ewolucję jaka miała miejsce zarówno w regulacjach prawnych jak i stanowisku wymiaru sprawiedliwości. W zasadzie od przemian ustrojowych 1989 roku, zarówno prawodawca jak i sądy, konsekwentnie nie chciały przyznawać Świadkom Jehowy możliwości odmowy służby z bronią w ręku. Choć problemy, które rodzą się w związku w istniejącymi regulacjami i dotychczasową praktyką, w chwili obecnej – kiedy zawieszono powszechną służbę wojskową – zdają się pretendować do miana zbędnych dywagacji, nie można wykluczyć, że w obliczu istniejących zagrożeń, na powrót staną się aktualne.
Prawo o stowarzyszeniach jako instrument nadzorowania działalności zgromadzeń zakonnych w latach 1949-1989
Authors: Ordon Marta
Published: November 2018

W Polsce po II wojnie światowej, prowadzona wówczas przez władze komunistyczne polityka wyznaniowa miała swe źródło w założeniach systemu marksistowsko-leninowskiego, ateistycznego w swej istocie, a w konsekwencji tego, wrogiego kościołom i związkom wyznaniowym. Ponieważ w Polsce przeważającą większość społeczeństwa stanowili wierni Kościoła katolickiego, toteż właśnie przeciwko instytucjom tego Kościoła skierowany został niemal cały impet antyreligijnej kampanii ówczesnych władz. Jedną z metod walki było instrumentalne stosowanie przepisów prawa stanowionego. Artykuł ukazuje takie właśnie wykorzystywanie przepisów rozporządzenia Prezydenta RP z dnia 27 października 1932 r. – Prawo o stowarzyszeniach. Wszystkie zgromadzenia zakonne zostały podporządkowane przepisom tego prawa po wejściu w życie dekretu z 5 sierpnia 1949 r. Środkiem represji wobec zgromadzeń zakonnych Kościoła katolickiego stały się wówczas przepisy dotyczące nie tylko legalizacji zrzeszeń, czy likwidacji już działających, ale nawet te określające sprawowanie nadzoru nad działalnością tych zalegalizowanych zrzeszeń. W niniejszym opracowaniu pokazane zostały przykłady instrumentalnego wykorzystywania przepisów Prawa o stowarzyszeniach do kontrolowania i utrudniania działalności zgromadzeniom zakonnym.
Opieka duszpasterska w szpitalach publicznych państw Unii Europejskiej – zarys problematyki
Authors: Stanisz Piotr
Published: November 2018

Celem artykułu jest omówienie rozwiązań, które w różnych państwach Unii Europejskiej wykorzystywane są dla zagwarantowania pacjentom prawa do korzystania z posług religijnych. W pierwszej części opracowania przedstawiono uzasadnienie obecności zorganizowanej opieki duszpasterskiej w szpitalach. Następnie uwaga została przeniesiona na organizację duszpasterstwa szpitalnego oraz status kapelanów szpitalnych. Na koniec zwrócono uwagę na problemy związane z ochroną negatywnej wolności religijnej pacjentów.

Przeprowadzone analizy pozwalają na stwierdzenie, że zapewnienie prawa pacjentów do posług religijnych stanowi dziś uznany europejski standard. Różnią się natomiast szczegółowe gwarancje tego prawa. Zróżnicowanie dotyczy zwłaszcza organizacji duszpasterstwa szpitalnego oraz statusu kapelanów szpitalnych. Stosowane rozwiązania pozostają w zależności od takich czynników, jak wyznaniowa struktura społeczeństwa, ugruntowane tradycje, aplikowany model relacji Państwo – Kościół oraz zróżnicowanie form regulacji sytuacji prawnej związków wyznaniowych. Wśród problemów, które wciąż oczekują na satysfakcjonujące rozwiązania w sporej liczbie państwa członkowskich Unii Europejskiej należy natomiast wymienić kwestię pełnej ochrony praw członków religii mniejszościowych oraz osób bez religijnej afiliacji. Chodzi przy tym o znalezienie takiego modelu, w którym należycie zharmonizowane byłyby prawa wszystkich, bez względu na ich przynależność do mniejszości czy większości.
El papel del aspecto gramatical en las construcciones con estar y adjetivos de propiedades
Authors: Leonetti Manuel , Escribano Gonzalo
Published: November 2018

Este artículo estudia la interacción entre el aspecto gramatical y la semántica de los adjetivos en las combinaciones de la cópula estar en español con diversas clases de adjetivos de propiedades o de ‘nivel individual’ (Individual-Level). Los datos examinados son sutiles contrastes ligados al uso del pretérito simple y del pretérito imperfecto, del tipo del que surge en Estuvo inteligente frente a #Estaba inteligente. El análisis que se defiende presupone que se produce una incompatibilidad entre cópula y adjetivo de propiedades que debe resolverse en la interpretación, y propone que los efectos del aspecto gramatical se deben a su papel, coadyuvante o no, en el proceso de ajuste interpretativo. Las peculiaridades de los adjetivos evaluativos de comportamiento hacen que el aspecto perfectivo favorezca tal proceso, mientras que con otras clases léxicas de adjetivos de propiedades es el aspecto imperfectivo la opción preferida.

Pasado y presente de la Constitución de 1917: del liberalismo al Estado revolucionario
Authors: Valero Pie Aurelia
Published: November 2018

Al cumplirse 100 años de promulgarse la Constitución de 1917, en este artículo se examina la relación que ésta guarda con su antecedente inmediato, la Carta Magna de 1857. Con ello se busca, no tanto contrastar las diferencias puntuales de orden jurídico entre uno y otro documento, cuanto analizar la experiencia histórica de los constituyentes de l917. De este modo se hará evidente que en ese proceso los revolucionarios colocaron sobre la balanza, no sólo el legado liberal de sus predecesores, sino el siglo XIX en su conjunto.

Noticia de una “falsificación” de la Psalmodia christiana de fray Bernardino de Sahagún
Authors: Téllez Nieto Heréndira
Published: November 2018

La Psalmodia christiana de fray Bernardino de Sahagún es uno de los impresos mexicanos del siglo XVI más cotizados y codiciados por los coleccionistas, pues fue la única obra del franciscano que llegó a la imprenta. Durante el siglo XIX se consideraba que sólo existía un ejemplar, en poder de don Joaquín García Icazbalceta y, poco a poco, se fueron encontrando otros ejemplares; sin embargo, no todos los que han sido catalogados como la Psalmodia tienen el texto original y verdadero. En este artículo se hablará de una de esas "falsificaciones" a partir de la comparación filológica de los textos.

Authors: Hana Atiya Mahmud
Published: November 2018

This study aims to observe and describe the use of speech acts by Barack Obama when he announced the death of Osama bin Laden. The writer focuses on illocutionary acts used by Barack Obama. The primary data source is the transcript of Barack Obama’s speech at White House on May 1st, 2011 after the death of Osama bin Laden. The types of illocutionary acts are observed by the writer according to Searle’s Taxonomy of Illocutionary Act. They are representatives, directives, commissives, expressives, and declarations. The result of the study shows that representatives are frequetnly used by Obama in his speech. Representatives are used in 54 utterances (74%); Commissives are used in 11 utterances (15%); Expressives are used in 7 utterances (11%). Barack Obama used none both directive speech acts and declaration speech acts. Representatives are frequently used in Barack Obama speech because the purpose of the speech is to announce the death of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. The evidence is that most utterances in the transcipt use statements, descriptions, and reports.

Authors: Yulianawati Ida
Published: November 2018

The paper concerns with investigating classroom interaction especially the classroom language used by teacher and students in teaching learning process in one Junior High School in Indramayu. Teacher’s talk signals the classroom language that is used by the teacher in the classroom throughout the class periods. Meanwhile, students’ talk signal classroom language that is used by the students. The study employs qualitative interaction analysis method involving fifty nine students and two teachers in two different classrooms. The data are gathered through non-participant observation and video recording. Classroom observations were conducted to gain the data concerning classroom interaction in teaching learning process. The data collecting was separated into twelve categories and analyzed using Flint (Foreign Language Interaction analysis) system adopted from Moscowitz that is widely used to investigate classroom interaction. The findings of this study showed that there are various verbal interactions used in classroom interaction. The data showed that the use of classroom language motivate students to speak and encourage the students to share their idea. But the data also showed that there are many obstacles in using classroom language. So it needs more effort from teachers and students to make classroom language familiar in the classroom.
Gorbatschows Abrüstungsvorschläge - das Ende des Rüstungswettlaufs?
Authors: Stuckenbrock Reimer , Gumbert Michael
Published: November 2018

Während in den USA die Reagan-Regierung seit Beginn der 80er Jahre mit der Ausdehnung des Rüstungswettlaufs alte Hegemonievorstellungen zu einem neuen Konzept strategischer Überlegenheit (Czempiel 1986 a, 1986 b ), zu verknüpfen versucht, läßt sich in der Sowjetunion seit der Machtübernahme Gorbatschows eine Erneuerung in eine andere Richtung beobachten. In seinem politischen Bericht an den 27. Parteitag der KPdSU übte er schonungslose Kritik an der bisherigen Politik und forderte die gesamte Sowjetunion zu einem radikalen Umdenken auf. Dies gelte, so Gorbatschow, insbesondere für die inneren Angelegenheiten des Landes, die zwingend rasche Veränderungen verlangten, aber auch für die äußeren Angelegenheiten sei ein Neuanfang unumgänglich.
David Harvey und das Projekt einer materialistischen Stadttheorie
Authors: Keil Roger
Published: November 2018

David Harvey gehört seit fast zwei Jahrzehnten zu den einflußreichsten Theoretikern der »Neuen Stadtforschung«*. Bekannt geworden als Autor eines Lehrbuchs der positivistischen Geographie (Harvey, 1969), wurde er zum enfant terrible dieser traditionalistischen Disziplin, als er in Social Justice and the City (1973 erstmals einen marxistischen Ansatz wählte (cf.Badcock; 1984). Dieses Buch ist dann auch in der Folge wegen seiner explosiven Wirkung innerhalb der Geographie oft als sein wichtigstes angesehen worden. Verglichen mit späteren Schriften Harveys war Social Justice and the City eine zögerliche Annäherung an eine materialistische Position in der Geographie. Seine Entwicklung von einer liberal-humanistischen zu einer marxistischen Perspektive, die er noch als mögliche Varianten einer Lösung der sozialen Frage im räumlichen System der Stadt nebeneinander stehen läßt, organisiert die Struktur des Buches. Harveys Positionen ähnelten denen des französischen Marxisten Lefebvre, hoben sich jedoch von der strukturalistisch-althusserianischen Vorgehensweise Manuel Castells' ab, der in den 70er Jahren die Standards in der marxistischen Stadttheorie setzte.

Der Regulationsansatz: Ein neues Paradigma?
Authors: Cartelier Jean , De Vroey Michel
Published: November 2018

Cartelier und de Vroey prüfen, was die Arbeiten der Regulationsschule zur ökonomischen Theorie beitragen. Sie kommen zu dem Ergebnis, daß dieser Ansatz in seinem gegenwärtigen Zustand nicht beanspruchen kann, eine Alternative zur herrschenden Theorie darzustellen. Die Regulationsschule versucht nicht, auf die fundamentalen Fragen der politischen Ökonomie zu antworten, deren Aufnahme für Cartelier/de Vroey eine unerläßliche Voraussetzung für die Etablierung eines neuen Paradigmas darstellt. Bezogen auf das Niveau von Theorien mittlerer Reichweite vertreten Cartelier/de Vroey insbesondere bezüglich des Fordismus- Konzepts die Auffassung, daß der Begr(ff, obgleich interessant und originell, ohne weiteres in die traditionelle ökonomische Theorie integrierbar wäre.
Nationale Wirtschaftspolitik unter Bedingungen globaler »finanzieller Instabilitäten«
Authors: Altvater Elmar
Published: November 2018

Nach Fritz Scharpf sind die Zeiten des »hydraulischen« Keynesianismus angesichts internationalisierter Geld- und Finanzmärkte zu Ende. Nationale Wirtschaftspolitik kann nur noch auf externe Vorgaben reagieren und versuchen, über den Zugrtff auf die Lohnkosten die Profite der produktiven Kapitale zumindest auf das Niveau der Renditen auf den internationalen Geldmärkten anzuheben. Ziel dieses angebotsorientiert gewendeten Keynianismus ist die Verwirklichung des »Sozialismus in einer Klasse« (Scharpf). Der vorliegende Aufsatz kommt hingegen zu dem Ergebnis, daß nationalstaatliche Anpassungsversuche an die erratisch schwankenden Renditen auf den transnationalen Finanzmärkten die internationalen »financial instabilities« geradewegs in die nationalen Ökonomien transportieren. Der »neue« sozialdemokratische Weg aus der Krise kann der Größenordnung der aktuellen ökonomischen Problemlagen nicht gerecht werden.
Ansätze zu einer historisch-ökologischen Betrachtung der Frühgeschichte und der Antike

Published: November 2018

Es geht in diesem Aufsatz um die exemplarische Darstellung von Möglichkeiten, Historische Ökologie und damit Geschichtswissenschaft insgesamt unter weiteren und adäquateren Perspektiven zu betreiben, als sie bislang in Anschlag gebracht werden. Mit Blick vor allem auf archaische (und anarchische) Produktions- und Reproduktionsweisen, die sich in den Grenzen der Begriffswelt des traditionellen abendländischen Rationalismus nur höchst unzureichend fassen und analysieren lassen, erhält die Debatte um die notwendige 'ökologische' Revision gängiger Vorstellungsbilder zum Verlauf und zur Qualität der menschlichen Kulturentwicklung neue Impulse.
DEVELOPING SOCIAL SERVICES FOR LABORS AT INDUSTRIAL ZONES IN HO CHI MINH CITY
Authors: Nguyen Khoa Thi
Published: November 2018

After the promulgation of the Foreign Direct Investment Law in 1997, Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) was one of the provinces to quickly establish and develop export processing and industrial zones (henceforth industrial zones). At present, there are 24 industrial zones in HCMC.

INCOME STRUTURE, CAPITAL STRUCTURE, BANK COMPETITION AND ECONOMIC INSTABILITY
Authors: Nguyen Liem Thanh , Pham Khoa Chi
Published: November 2018

The paper examines the impact of factors belonging to banking system and their interaction with real and monetary shocks on economic volatility. Using panel data on 71 economies from 1998 - 2011, we provide evidence that the lower (higher) the bank competition is, the higher (lower) the impact of inflation (terms-of-trade) volatility on GDP growth volatility is. Banks with high shareholder equity ratios enjoy lower impact of inflation volatility on economic instability. Meanwhile, the extent of bank diversification in operations has no ability in adjusting the impact of the two sock types.

Authors: Ngo Khai Van , Ngo Hai Van
Published: November 2018

The concept of middle income trap has been introduced in a plenty of research on a nation’s economic development status which refers to the fact that many nations after attaining a certain income will get stuck at that level. Vietnam got rid of the list of least developed countries to join the lower middleincome countries with an annual GDP per capita of 1,052 USD in 2008. Vietnam enjoyed a steady GDP growth of 5.5 – 6% per year in the period between 2008 and 2014. However, the Vietnam’s economy shows signs of slowdown, low productivity, low return on investment, and low economic transition. Vietnam is also warned to be under the threat of falling into the middle income trap. This paper aims to provide a clear picture of the middle income trap and the threat that Vietnam may fall into the middle income trap, thereby proposing some solutions for Vietnam to circumvent it and sustainably develop the economy.

Authors: Tran Phuoc Thanh , Dinh Dien
Published: November 2018

In isolating languages such as Chinese and Vietnamese, words are not separated by spaces, a word can include one or more spelling words. Segmenting word or not before training and translating process is a problem that need to be considered. In this paper, we will survey the effect of word boundary factor in the translation result of Chinese-Vietnamese statistical machine translation (SMT). The experimental result of this paper will be the basis for word segmentation improvement in future research which increase machine translation performance. We surveyed on two experiments: word segmentation (WS) and word un-segmentation (WUS) on the corpus of 8,000 and 12,000 sentence pairs. Based on the experimental results, we found that both of WS corpus and WUS corpus have their own advantages and defects. We propose integrating the advantages of these two methods in SMT
Determination of relative and absolute efficiency functions in the range of 122 keV ÷ 8.5 MeV of HPGe detector
Authors: Nguyen Son An , Dang Lanh , Truong Minh Van
Published: November 2018

Construction of detector is necessary. However, on large energy range the manufacturers could not also support the explicit function of relative and absolute efficiencies of detectors. One of the reasons is a restriction of energy range of gamma sources (normally < 3 MeV). This paper presents the results of construction of relative and absolute efficiency functions within a range from 122 keV to 8.5 MeV. The sources are used combining 152Eu point source and 36Cl activated isotope by thermal neutron captured reaction 35Cl of Dalat nuclear reactor (DNR) by 35Cl(n, γ)36Cl reaction. This result can be applied in determining quantitative analysis of samples of neutron activation and radioactivity chemistry
TiO2 photocatalyst synthesized by refluxing method in H2O2 solution
Authors: Nguyen Nam Hai , Nguyen Nhu Thi So
Published: November 2018

In this study, TiO2 was synthesized by refluxing gel TiO2 in H2O2 solution. Experiments were carried to investigate effects of the acidity of the reactions, refluxing time, quantity of H2O2, and the drying condition to the formation and photocatalytic activities of products. Samples were characterized by XRD, BET, IR, and DRS. Adsorption and phototcatalytic properties of samples were studied by the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light. Results showed that TiO2 was crystallized only from the refluxing baths that were not adjusted their acidity after mixing TiO2 sol with H2O2 solution. Increasing the refluxing time or drying products at 100 oC led to decreasing photocatalytic activities of TiO2. Increasing the amount of H2O2 in the refluxed solutions, photocatalytic activities of TiO2 increased to a maximum level when 25 mL of H2O2 was used.

Study on the functional feeding group (FFG) structure of aquatic insects in upstreams of Da Nhim river to understand the ecological functional groups in the watershed. The study investigated two headwater streams (A and B) of upper Da Nhim river in the dry and rainy seasons 2013). Quantitative sampling, diversity indices, grouping the FFGs and analysing correlation between the FFGs conducted in each season. Results showed that: (1) Shannon - Weiner indices (H') were 3.0-4.4, and Simpson indices (λ) were 0.06-0.13; (2) The FFG structure included five groups: collector - garthering (cg) (46 %), scrapper (sc) (31 %), collector - filtering (cf) (12 %), predator (p) (8 %) and shredder (sh) (3 %); (3) The correlations were possitive and stability in seasons. Shredder (sh) implied the intact riparian vegetation; and the occurrence of predators in both two seasons, implied the nutrient balance in the stream ecosystem. The FFG structures should be documented in the continuing lower reaches of the Da Nhim river to fulfill data in the whole system of Dong Nai river

Optimization of design for mechatronic system based on virtual prototyping technology
Authors: Le Tran Ngoc
Published: November 2018

According to the traditional design method, in order to manufacture a mechatronic system, from the initial idea, the designer designs the mechanical system by CAD (Computer-Aided-Design), this system is then fabricated, finally, the system will be tested on the working condition. If the system does not work properly, the design of the system will be changed, and hardware is re-manufactured. This method is more time-consuming and cost for repairing and manufacturing hardware repeatedly. To save design time and reduce the cost of the manufacturing hardware as well as to optimize the design process of a mechatronics system, this paper introduces an engineering model it is called a virtual prototyping technology which allows optimizing the designs on the computer before manufacturing the test-bed system. Based on the concept of the system working, the mechatronics system is designed on SOLIDWORKS and then exported to the ADAMS software (Automated Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical System). The flexible element is also modeling and analysis in ANSYS software then exported to ADAMS. The integrated simulation in ADAMS environment is executed to investigate the dynamic behaviors of the mechanical system and design will be adjusted. Virtual prototyping model will then be exported to MATLAB/Simulink to develop the control strategies. Co-simulation results in some contexts to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed mechatronic system before implementing on test-bed

Published: November 2018

Process planning is an important bridge between design and machining in a manufacturing system. However, this process in Vietnam is mostly done manually. At that time, process planning needs quite a lot of effort and time of the engineer. In modern manufacturing, CAD/CAM/CNC integrated technology has developed so much. However, the development of computer-aided process planning (CAPP) is limited and has not caught with the rapid development of CAD/CAM technology. This article presents the methodology for developing and building computer-aided process planning systems for prismatic parts. In this system, the entire feature recognition and some basic modules of the process planning, such as equipment selection as well as operation sequences, are carried out automatically based on diversity database suitable for practical production. The system automatically generates a process planning instruction sheet directly from the solid 3D model in the SolidWorks environment. Testing of the system shows that process planning preparation time is reduced by up to 10 times compared to the manual method while ensuring technical requirements are met.

Tấn công từ chối dịch vụ phân tán (DDoS) theo hình thức gửi tràn ngập gói khởi tạo kết nối (gói tin SYN) là một trong những dạng tấn công mạng rất nguy hiểm và khó phòng-chống. Bởi vì với dạng tấn công này, tin tặc cố tình gửi gói tin khởi tạo kết nối giả mạo địa chỉ nguồn mà đảm bảo các trường thông tin như của gói tin khởi tạo bình thường. Đã có nhiều kết quả nghiên cứu và giải pháp đề xuất về việc phát hiện và lọc bỏ những gói tin giả mạo này, nhưng phần lớn các xử lý yêu cầu nhiều tài nguyên hệ thống để xử lý, do đó hiệu quả sẽ bị ảnh hưởng nhiều khi luồng tấn công DDoS lớn. Trong nghiên cứu này, chúng tôi đề xuất một thuật toán phát hiện và lọc bỏ nhanh các gói tin giả mạo mà sử dụng rất ít tài nguyên hệ thống và đạt tỷ lệ phát hiện rất cao.
