Published: August 2018

Computer-aided detection is an integral part of medical image evaluation process because examination of each image takes a long time and generally experts’ do not have enough time for the elimination of images with motion artifact (blurred images). Computer-aided detection is required for both increasing accuracy rate and saving experts’ time. Large intestine does not have straight structure thus camera of the colonoscopy should be moved continuously to examine inside of the large intestine and this movement causes motion artifact on colonoscopy images. In this study, images were selected from open-source colonoscopy videos and obtained at Kayseri Training and Research Hospital. Totally 100 images were analyzed half of which were clear. Firstly, a modified version of histogram equalization was applied in the pre-processing step to all images in our dataset, and then, used Laplacian, wavelet transform (WT), and discrete cosine transform-based (DCT) approaches to extract features for the discrimination of images with no artifact (clear) and images with motion artifact. The Laplacian-based feature extraction method was used for the first time in the literature on colonoscopy images. The comparison between Laplacian-based features and previously used methods such as WT and DCT has been performed. In the classification phase of our study, support vector machines (SVM), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and k nearest neighbors (k-NN) were used as the classifiers. The results showed that Laplacian-based features were more successful in the detection of images with motion artifact when compared to popular methods used in the literature. As a result, a combination of features extracted using already existing approaches (WT and DCT) and the Laplacian-based methods reached 85% accuracy levels with SVM classification approach
An efficient radio frequency channel distribution in 5g heterogeneous cellular networks for avoiding cross-tier interference in macro and small cells
Authors: Qaddus Ahmed , Hassan Shahzad , Minhas Abid Ali
Published: August 2018

Recently, the need for user data rate traffic has increased for running high-bandwidth applications. Therefore, the way forward lies in 5G heterogeneous cellular networks. The 5G network is comprised of two network hierarchies. As the first hierarchy, there are MBSs with large macro cells for macro users. As the second hierarchy, there are FBSs referred to as small cells for femto users. The 5G networks encourage the use of large macro and small cells for efficient utilisation and distribution of channel resources. In this study, the authors have proposed an efficient RF channel distribution mechanism on the basis of the current SINR levels of FUEs and MUEs. On the basis of the users’ present SINR levels, the channels will be allocated by the central MBS to MUEs and FUEs via FBSs. The major obstacle in RF channel allocation to FUEs and MUEs is cross-tier interference at the downlink channel at the MUEs and FUEs from the transmitted signals of MBSs and FBSs. In this study, an efficient RF channel allocation scheme is proposed on the basis of channel modelling constraints, which will minimise the cross-tier interference at the downlink channel at the MUEs and FUEs during RF channel allocation to FUEs and MUEs present in the same coverage area

Published: August 2018

Ceramic tile/steel slag-graphite-Arabic gum composite has been developed using conventional casting techniques for brake pad applications. Chemical properties of the phases present in the matrix of the developed composite were examined using X-ray diffractometer. Spatial configuration of the phases was viewed using Scanning Electron Microscope. Wear and thermal properties of the developed composite were also investigated. Correlation between the properties of the developed composite and the commercial grade brake pads were made. Results showed partial homogenity of the second phase particle within the ceramic matrix. The developed composite brake pad showed a better friction property than the commercial grade brake pads up to 200 s while above this duration, the reverse was the case. The developed composite brake displayed lower wear rates and better thermal stability than the commercial grades implying optimum combination of good wear resistance, friction property and thermal stability up to 200 s. Since brake application while driving is an intermittent short span process (< 3 minutes), the developed composite could serve as a replacement for asbestos brake pad for automobile applications.
Differential effects of intensity and response preparation components of acoustic warning signals
Authors: Cappucci Paola , Correa Ángel , Guerra Pedro , Lupiáñez Juan
Published: August 2018

It is known that the increase of intensity on a warning signal (WS) usually decreases reaction times to targets and occasionally is accompanied by a startle reflex reaction that influences the speediness of response execution. In a simple detection task (Experiment 1), a detection task with catch trials (Experiment 2) and a Go-NoGo discrimination task (Experiment 3), we studied the relationship between response preparation and alerting mechanisms operating upon the presentation of warning signals. A WS was presented either synchronously with the target (simultaneous condition) or 1400 ms before it (delayed condition). In all three experiments, the intensity of the WS and the simultaneity between WS and target were orthogonally manipulated. Results confirmed shorter reaction times by increasing the WS intensity. In Experiment 1, all conditions presented a clear acoustic intensity effect. In Experiment 2 we observed shorter reaction times in higher intensity conditions but only when the WS and the target were presented simultaneously. In Experiment 3, the intensity effect was observed only when the WS preceded the target. In all experiments, trials where the WS triggered a startle reflex showed a systematic increase in reaction time, which was independent of response preparation and task demands. In general, our findings suggest that response preparation modulates the alerting mechanisms, as a function of task set, but not the startle reflex. The dissociation between intensity, response preparation and startle supports the interdependence between these mechanisms elicited by the presentation of warning signals.
Rationale and Design of a Prospective, Multicenter, Observational Study Evaluating Iron Deficiency in Patients Hospitalized for Heart Failure (FERIC-RO)

Published: August 2018

Introduction: Several landmark studies, which enrolled heart failure (HF) patients who were ambulatory at the time of inclusion, identified iron deficiency (ID) as an important therapeutic target: intravenous iron administration with ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) improves morbidity, exercise capacity, and quality of life in patients with HF and reduced EF (HFrEF). However, there is still limited knowledge about ID prevalence during hospitalization for Worsening Chronic HF (WCHF) and about the relationship between ID during hospitalization and post-discharge outcomes. Although previous studies documented ID as an independent risk factor for poor outcomes in HFrEF, its prognostic significance in HF patients with EF>40% remains unclear.

Method and Results: The FERIC-RO study is a prospective, multicenter, observational study with longitudinal follow up, conducted in 9 Romanian hospitals that will include 200 consecutive patients admitted for worsening HF. A comprehensive description of the Iron metabolism biomarkers will be performed on discharge and 1-month follow up. The primary endpoint is defined as the prevalence of ID on discharge and 1-month post-discharge, and the secondary endpoints include: all-cause re-hospitalization and all-cause-mortality at 1 and 3 months follow up, and quality of life on discharge and 1-month.

Conclusions: FERIC-RO will provide new evidence about the prevalence and the predictors of ID in patients hospitalized for WCHF regardless of LVEF. Furthermore, the study will explore the relationship between in-hospital ID and post-discharge outcomes. The results of FERIC-RO will thus be highly relevant to the management of patients hospitalized for AHF.
Influence of Soil Deformation Caused by Mining on Sewage Pipelines Built Using The Pipe Jacking Method
Authors: Kalisz Piotr , Zięba Magdalena
Published: August 2018

This paper discusses the issues associated with the influence of underground mining operations on sewage pipelines built using the pipe jacking method. At present, to build sewage pipelines, especially in urban areas and deep embedment, trenchless technologies are employed. Mainly in these technologies, pipes are jacked into a bored tunnel using hydraulic jacks. These methods are also applied in mining areas.

The aim of this paper is to analyse the influence of ground deformation, caused by mining operations, on sewage pipelines built using the pipe jacking method. The type of pipelines discussed here is built with butted sections, which cannot compensate the influences of mining operations in pipe joints if horizontal compression occurs in the near-surface layer of soil. Pipelines embedded in trenches in the mining areas are secured against the influence of mining operations with expansion joints, which compensate for ground deformation. Hence, in the analysis of the influence of soil deformation caused by mining on sewage pipelines built using jacking method, special attention was paid to the performance of pipe joints. Pipelines of the type are subjected to additional loads and displacements, caused by soil deformations like horizontal strains, horizontal soil displacements and surface curvatures. We propose a way to consider the influence of mining operations on sewage pipelines built using the pipe jacking method.
Autonomous vehicles and freight traffic: towards better efficiency of road, rail or urban logistics?
Authors: Bucsky Péter
Published: August 2018

The freight transport sector is a low profit and high competition business and therefore has less ability to invest in research and development in the field of autonomous vehicles (AV) than the private car industry. There are already different levels of automation technologies in the transport industry, but most of these are serving niche demands and answers have yet to be found about whether it would be worthwhile to industrialise these technologies. New innovations from different fields are constantly changing the freight traffic industry but these are less disruptive than on other markets. The aim of this article is to show the current state of development of freight traffic with regards to AVs and analyse which future directions of development might be viable. The level of automation is very different in the case of different transport modes and most probably the technology will favour road transport over other, less environmentally harmful traffic modes.

Bias: Linking Evidence With Practice
Authors: Kamper Steven J.
Published: August 2018

Any information can be biased, and all studies are at some risk of bias. The idea of assessing risk of bias is to provide a basis for giving more or less weight to that piece of information: if a study is at higher risk of bias, then we should be less confident about the findings. The same goes for information from clinical experience. Clinical practice involves collecting relevant information from various sources and boiling it down to make a decision. In doing so, you should pay more attention to information that is less likely to be biased.

Infecção hospitalar (IH) ou infecção nosocominal se define como qualquer doença infecciosa contraída após a hospitalização do paciente, mesmo que o indivíduo não tenha apresentado sinais e sintomas antes de seu internamento. Para que o processo infeccioso se instale, o microrganismo depende de uma falha no sistema de defesa do hospedeiro, o qual pode ou não manifestar a patologia. A utilização de desinfetantes com ácido peracético e o hipoclorito de sódio são métodos que conferem maior potencial antimicrobiano. No entanto, diversos microrganismos possuem mecanismos de resistência frente a medidas comumente adotadas para desinfecção. A pesquisa objetivou avaliar a eficácia antimicrobiana de desinfetantes utilizados no setor pediátrico e unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal, além de verificar a presença ou ausência de microrganismos em superfícies inanimadas pertencentes ao local de estudo assim como verificar a qualidade da higienização. Foi realizado o teste de coloração de Gram, catalase e coagulase para identificação morfológica e para a avaliação da eficácia dos produtos foi utilizado o teste de concentração inibitória mínima, onde foram usadas cepas padrões como Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Pseudomonas ssp e Eschericia coli. Na avaliação da eficácia somente na cepa referente a Streptococcus pneumoniae obteve Inibição em concentração até 0,3µl (Total). Diante do exposto pode-se concluir que, observou-se uma contaminação de microrganismos bacterianos nos setores de pediatria e UTI neonatal, bem como uma eficácia dos agentes químicos utilizados na higienização dos setores, mas ou mesmo tempo os produtos se comportaram de maneira ineficaz.

Spiritual Strengthening Model for Street Children Education Between the Hope and Challenges of ASEAN Economic Community (MEA)
Authors: Yapandi Yapandi
Published: August 2018

This paper argues that building a community of street children through a spiritual model can be developed in West Kalimantan to strengthen the values of monotheism. By exposing and simultaneously evaluating the current model of street child development through Talcott Parsons functionalism to see how individuals and communities integrate into a social system, and the concept of spiritual model (and spiritual intelligence) a la Danah Zohar as a form of tauhidullah values development and higher goals in street children life, the model of empowerment through the development of spiritual models needs to be placed in a sociological, social and pedagogical setting for access to educational resources and political systems. The issues and problems of street children are never separated from local identity (identity politics), and individual and group characters. Voluntaristically accepting social norms and values as such, humans are actively involved in social exchanges. Likewise, instead of one-dimensional, the individual's identity is liquid and multidimensional.

For local teachers information on formal education, development is quite difficult. Teacher activities that support their professionalism are less conducive. One of the teacher's vessels in discussing or discussing materials in the lesson ie MGMP (Subject Teacher Consultative). The results of questionnaires and interviews (June 2012) revealed that many MGMP is not performing their activities properly. Several factors are expressed such as (1) more meeting material on routines, (2) difficult transportation, (3) funds; and (4) lack of motivation because it is considered to have no direct effect. During the 2012 academic year, MGMP Mathematics for Kecamatan Paloh performs only two meetings. While MGMP Matematika Sambas City is active almost every month. However, the focus of the meeting tends to routine the discussion of making common repetition questions together. Another case with the MGMP IPS, for the District of Paloh quite somewhat active but the focus of the study has not been right on target. Taking note of the above facts, it is necessary to have activities that provide freshness again and at once can be felt directly benefits such as the need for workshops presented expert and support the professionalism of teachers. In this activity, the PKM team coordinates with several MGMPs in Kecamatan Paloh and Kota Sambas. Activities undertaken are (1) conducting surveys to MGMP targets; (2) analyze survey findings; (3) design workshop activities coordinated with MGMP managers; (4) implementation of workshop, (5) process of making article writing; (6) meeting and presentation of accompaniment article; (7) selection and publication of articles to the targeted journal; (8) reporting.
From Javanese Court to African Grave: How Noriman Became Tuan Skapie, 1717-1806
Authors: Laffan Michael
Published: August 2018

This article assembles clues related to the life and impact of an eighteenth century exile to Cape Town known as Oupa or Tuan Skapie (Grandpa/ Lord Sheepy). Remembered as a slave sent from Java in the 1770s who tended herds and dug wells on the slopes of Signal Hill in between periods of meditation, it would appear that this subaltern might well have been more than that. Certainly he was successful at concealing his identity (and abilities) from his former jailers and two colonial regimes, finally taking his resting place high on the ridge above Cape Town in 1806, above the space assigned to a more scripturally-charged rival.
An Informal Franco-Dutch Alliance: Trade and Diplomacy Between the Mascarenes and the Cape, 1719-1769
Authors: Thiébaut Rafaël
Published: August 2018

In the eighteenth century, possessions of the different European mercantilist companies rarely interacted, commercially or otherwise. For example, communication between the Dutch colony at the Cape and the French Mascarenes under the regime of the Compagnie des Indes was mostly fortuitous. However, when the French islands were in need of provisions during the Seven Years’ War (1756-1763), local authorities did not hesitate to establish a direct maritime connection with the Dutch Cape Colony in order to obtain wheat and wine. Throughout the conflict, the governors of the two colonies maintained a regular and friendly correspondence to ensure such a significant flow of provisions from the Cape to the Mascarenes that the latter became the Cape’s most important foreign trading partner.

Published: August 2018

The study of trading will not be separated from the study of industry and investment, they have the close relationship of these three things in determining the competitiveness of a country, especially in the current pattern of global value chain (GVC) trading. The aims of this study are: (a) to analyze the urgency of increasing the competitiveness of national industry in the era of world free trade, and (b) to reconstruct taxation policies to promote industrial competitiveness in the global era. Tax reform should be able to improve competitiveness, and enthusiasm to invest for the investors. Due to growing business will increase tax revenue. The tax policy is very influential on industry, trade, and investment, because according to business people, tax is the biggest investment constraint, besides security, law, labor, regional autonomy, and smuggling issue. The reconstruction of taxation policies through the updating of tax laws includes: simplifying administrative procedures, raising taxpayer awareness, implementing a credible, accountable and consistent self-assessment system, tariffing adjustments to improve competitiveness, and expanding tax bases to increase state revenues. In order to improve competitiveness with other countries, it is necessary to put forward the principles of fairness and neutrality in tariff setting, and provide incentives for small business development. The structure of the prevailing tax rate is simplified in stages, planned, differentiated tariffs, and simplified layers intended to provide a more proportional tax burden for each taxpayer class.

Indonesian Criminal Code that comes from Dutch heritage has to be reconstructed, because it is not in accordance with the state of Indonesia which is now already independent. One of the important principles in the Criminal Code that needs to be reconstructed is the retroactive principle contained in Article 1 paragraph (2) of the Criminal Code. The law can be retroactive as long as it benefits the defendant, not until the convicted person. The purpose of this research is to evaluate retroactive principle in Criminal Code seen from perspective value of religious wisdom, and ideal reconstruction of retroactive principle in next Criminal Code in accordance with perspective value of religious wisdom. Approach method in this research was done with normative juridical, the data used were secondary data by doing the extracting data bibliography, and data analysis were done by using qualitative descriptive method. Based on the values of religious wisdom, especially from the perspective of Islamic law in the case of any change of laws and regulations, in principle, non-retroactive principle (non-retroactive) is applied, but in certain cases the principle can be disregarded in accordance with the principles of "dlarar" and " maslahat ". The ideal reconstruction of the retroactive principle in the case of a change of laws and regulations after an act has occurred, new laws and regulations shall be applied in accordance with prevailing laws and regulations in favor of the producer and to the benefit of the public for certain offenses determined by Constitution.

IMPROVING THE STABILITY TWO-LEVEL CAR HAULER
Authors: Shpilka N. N.
Published: August 2018

To improve the lateral stability of car hauler way you value optimal cargo location parameters, elastically mounted on a platform, developed a mathematical model of its motion. At the same time take into account fluctuations in cargo and car hauler. According to the simulation results revealed that the system for car «hauler – cargo» accounting for elastic properties leads to a significant decrease in the frequency and amplitude of the system vertical oscillations. Therefore, the presence of the cargo can be regarded as a dynamic passive damping (in the case of a correct choice and design of layout parameters). There is proposed to reduce the distance between the cargo and the upper platform by determination of maximum values of the cargo oscillations amplitudes. In turn, the reduction of the height of the platform reduces the height of the center of gravity of the system, improves the stability of car hauler.
Keywords: car hauler, dynamic processes, fluctuations, platform, stability.

When constructing piled clusters and structures supported by large mono-piles, piles designed are used to take up significant lateral and pressing-in loads. New effective and less resource-demanding design of piled cluster was considered before. At this paper some results of its model testing in laboratory conditions are analyzed and discussed. To increase energy-absorbing capacity of mooring/fender dolphins it was worked out and researched a new design of combined tubular mono-pile structure, incorporating internal flexible pile and damping element placed at the zone of pile head. This design has been tested by laboratory experiments using small scale model. Obtained results confirm its effectiveness and practicability.

The soil deformation modulus largely depends on the obtaining method. There are various methods of determining E. In compression soil test a ring of small size is used. It causes a number of factors affecting the test results. The comparison of deformation modulus values obtained by in situ and laboratory methods is shown in article. It was believed for a long time that the oedometer deformation modulus of sands practically does not differ from the plate deformation test modulus, and therefore no transitional coefficients for this soil are given. However, it has been experimentally established that the results of oedometer tests of sands need to be corrected.

Published: August 2018

Nowadays, the use of pile-plate foundations has received extensive development, which takes into account the soil inclusion in the work under its plate part. We proposed a new design of a plate-pile foundation and an engineering method for determining the main parameters of such a foundation, where one of the parameters is the piles settlement under the action of the negative friction forces Pn. As far as is known, field testing of production piles using pressing-in loads is the most reliable method for determining their actual load-bearing capacity. We carried out full-scale tests of a multi-section pile with the loading at depth, on the basis of which a comparative analysis of the settlement of single piles from the action of the negative friction forces, obtained with the help of adapted and existing methods and experimental data

Published: August 2018

The existing methods (design directory) recommend using nomograms depending on the eccentricity of bending moment and numbers of piles while acting only vertical loads. These methods have a number of shortcomings and are inconvenient, because of lack of adequate alternatives and they do not provide the greatest efficiency. The convenient method of pile foundation designing (grillages and fields), depending on the load values, is the foundation proposed by the authors in this article. The results of numerical investigations determined the optimal grillages dimensions and numbers of pile in "bush" of pile, showed that this method gives optimal options for pile foundation under single column with large bending moments and minimum material expenditures and also provides its bearing capacity
Presidential Permit to Summon Suspect of Corruption of the Member of the House of Representatives
Authors: Ramiyanto Ramiyanto
Published: August 2018

Summoning the suspect is one step in the process of investigation in the criminal justice system which had been regulated in the Criminal Code Procedure and in other special laws. However, presenting the suspect of the member of the Parliament before the Court is the problematic one. This is because in reality, it does not need a President permit but legally it does. The problem is whether pre-senting the suspect before the court without a Presidential Permit is not against the law. The findings showed that the regulation dealing with the summoning of the parliament member suspected of cor-ruption is not necessarily required. It is because the crime suspected to the members of House of Rep-resentative is included in the special crime which is stipulated the 2002 Law Number 30 deals with Corruption Eradication Commission Article 46 paragraph (1) with the elucidation in junction to Arti-cle 245 paragraph (3) sub paragraph c.

Objetivo. Describir el estado de salud auditiva en personas mayores de 64 años autónomas y residentes en un municipio del cinturón industrial de Barcelona, destacando los datos sobre la prevalencia de la Presbiacusia. Participantes. Iniciamos el estudio con una muestra aleatoria de 139 personas mayores de 64 años, sin problemas de audición previamente diagnosticados, resultando en 82 el número de sujetos explorados, con una edad promedio de 72.2 años. Método. Se registraron los datos sociodemográficos más importantes de la muestra y su estado de salud. Posteriormente, se realizó un examen de audición y se realizó una prueba neuropsicológica utilizando el MMSE. Resultados. Destaca que el 54.87% (27 hombres y 18 mujeres) de las personas exploradas tenían pérdida auditiva en ambos oídos. De este porcentaje, el 32.92% correspondió a pérdida auditiva leve y el 21.95% a pérdida auditiva moderada. Se observó una relación estadísticamente significativa entre la presencia de problemas de audición y el deterioro cognitivo; aunque esta relación no fue muy concluyente [(t=-2.33); p<.05]. Conclusión. Dada la alta prevalencia de la pérdida de audición no diagnosticada en la población anciana y la importancia de su detección temprana, el estudio revela la necesidad de promover medidas de salud auditiva y, específicamente, facilitar la detección de estos problemas en los propios Centros de Atención Primaria.

La subescala “presión del entrenador” del Multidimensional Inventory or Perfectionism in Sport, mide las tendencias de los deportistas de percibir a sus entrenadores como fuentes de presión para obtener cierto nivel de rendimiento perfecto. El propósito de este estudio fue traducir al español hablado en México los ocho ítems de la subescala presión del entrenador, y examinar sus propiedades psicométricas (validez factorial, fiabilidad, validez convergente, validez de criterio). Participaron 106 deportistas de ambos sexos con una edad promedio de 12.5 años (DT=1.72). El análisis factorial confirmatorio apoyó la estructura unifactorial, donde seis de los ocho ítems fueron válidos para medir el factor latente. La fiabilidad demostró fuerte consistencia interna; y la presión del entrenador se relacionó positivamente con el miedo a fallar, mostrando el patrón de correlación esperada. En conclusión, esta adaptación es válida y confiable tras la eliminación de dos ítems, y puede ser utilizada en la investigación dentro del contexto deportivo mexicano.
