Authors: Lee Deokjong , Namkoong Kee , Lee Junghan , Lee Byung Ook , Jung Young-Chul
Published: September 2019

Background and aims

Smartphone use is becoming commonplace and exerting adequate control over smartphone use has become an important mental health issue. Little is known about the neurobiology underlying problematic smartphone use. We hypothesized that structural abnormalities in the fronto-cingulate brain region could be implicated in problematic smartphone use, similar to that has been reported for Internet gaming disorder and Internet addiction. This study investigated fronto-cingulate gray matter abnormalities in problematic smartphone users, particularly those who spend time on social networking platforms.

Methods

The study included 39 problematic smartphone users with excessive use of social networking platforms via smartphone and 49 normal control male and female smartphone users. We conducted voxel-based morphometric analysis with diffeomorphic anatomical registration using an exponentiated Lie algebra algorithm. Region of interest analysis was performed on the fronto-cingulate region to identify whether gray matter volume (GMV) differed between the two groups.

Results

Problematic smartphone users had significantly smaller GMV in the right lateral orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) than healthy controls, and there were significant negative correlations between GMV in the right lateral OFC and the Smartphone Addiction Proneness Scale (SAPS) score, including the SAPS tolerance subscale.

Conclusions

These results suggest that lateral orbitofrontal gray matter abnormalities are implicated in problematic smartphone use, especially in social networking platform overuse. Small GMV in the lateral OFC was correlated with an increasing tendency to be immersed in smartphone use. Our results suggest that orbitofrontal gray matter abnormalities affect regulatory control over previously reinforced behaviors and may underlie problematic smartphone use.

Aim. To evaluate the dynamics of obesity and mean body mass index (BMI) in Russia and USA in various age and gender categories during 1975-2014.

Material and methods. By a repeat analysis of one-moment studies of Russian and US population in 1975-1982 and 2007-2014, the values of obesity and BMI were assessed in men and women age 25-64 y. o. Into analysis, the data was included from Russian part of the Lipid Clinics study and multicenter ESSE-RF study (Epidemiology of cardiovascular diseases and risk factors in various regions of Russian Federation). American data acquired from the studies NHANES (National Health And Nutrition Examination Survey), open access. Total number of observations 48974.

Results. In the 80s of XX century in all age groups of women the mean BMI levels were lower in USA comparing to Russia, in men there were no significant differences. For the following 30 years in Russia the situation improved for men and women <45 y. o. — differences with USA changed modality, and currently BMI in Russia is lower than in USA.

Conclusion. Russia was below the US 30 years ago by the mean BMI in females of all ages, with no differences for males. For the following 30 years in the US there was significant increase of BMI in all age strata of men and women, and in Russia dynamics was the same, but lesser. Comparison of the prevalence of obesity in men 30 years ago showed some predominance of obesity in American males, especially young, but not statistically significant. Russian women had higher prevalence of obesity regardless of age. Currently, obesity in young age is more prevalent in men and women of USA, and >45 years old — in Russia.

ABSTRACT For thousands of years, water has been the focus of experimentation toward solving the challenges associated with human water supply, navigation, irrigation, and sanitation. The use of tracers to study water resources is an efficient approach that can facilitate the modeling of many hydrological scenarios. The goal of this paper is to show results of research that tracked the presence of Rn-222, a natural tracer, in the surface waters of a small watercourse in southeastern part of Brazil. RAD 7, which is an electronic and portable radon detector, was the main instrument used in this survey. We analyzed 117 water samples and converted the radon activity results to effective radiation doses with respect to the hypothetical human consumption of these waters. We also analyzed the sediments of the watercourse. The obtained data showed that the radon activity in the studied waters varies between 0.52-76.96 Bq/m3. We determined the effective dose of all samples to be less than 1 mSv y−1, and its consumption to present no risk to human health. The existence of connections between surface and subsurface waters in the stream is possible, and radon peaks may indicate the existence of discharge zones into the surface water body.
Formulas Free From Inconsistency: An Atom-Centric Characterization in Priest's Minimally Inconsistent LP
Authors: Mu Kedian
Published: September 2019

As one of fundamental properties to characterize inconsistency measures for knowledge bases, the property of free formula independence well captures the intuition that free formulas are independent of the amount of inconsistency in a knowledge base for cases where inconsistency is characterized in terms of minimal inconsistent subsets. But it has been argued that not all the free formulas are independent of inconsistency in some other contexts of inconsistency characterization. In this paper, we propose a characterization of formulas independent of inconsistency in the framework of Priest's minimally inconsistent LP. Based on an atom-based counterpart of the notion of free formula, we propose a notion of Bi-free formula to describe formulas that are free from inconsistency in both syntax and paraconsistent models in this logic. Then we propose the property of Bi-free formula independence, which is more suitable for characterizing the role of formulas free from inconsistency in measuring inconsistency from both syntactic and semantic perspectives.
Fast and easy dimensioning of robust and sustainable filler beam bridges
Authors: Rademacher Dennis , Tilley Neil
Published: September 2019

Filler beam bridge constructions with hot-rolled steel sections at close centres and filled with concrete meet all the requirements of small- and medium-span railway bridges. Filler beam bridges have thus been used for many years with considerable success, in particular where construction depth restrictions are relevant for the design. Moreover, they are perfectly suitable for use with high-speed railway lines. Since the late 1970s, various railway companies have established standard designs with guidelines, supplemented with calculation tables that correspond to their own rules. Some of these guidelines have become outdated with introduction of the Eurocodes. However, since on one hand there is growing interest in this type of construction and, on the other, a desire to evaluate large amounts of design data economically, there is a need for a calculation tool that enables quick, efficient and reliable designs. For this reason, new design tables for filler beam bridges in the German high-speed railway network up to 350 km/h have been developed, which enable a quick and direct evaluation of all relevant cross-sectional data of single-track single-span bridges in the span range 5–35 m without costly statics. The tables and the software, with which the tables were generated, are shown in this article.
Laser-melted surfaces fabricated on MAO films in Al and Si electrolytes
Authors: Wang Fengbiao , Wang Yongqing
Published: September 2019

In order to improve the functions of microarc oxidation (MAO) films, the current work investigated the effects of the laser surface melting (LSM) process on MAO films fabricated in different electrolytes. A series of processing experiments was carried out on the composite films. In detail, MAO films using aluminum (Al) and silicon (Si) electrolytes were prepared on a Ti–6Al–4V alloy surface and then treated by using the LSM process. At the same time, the properties of the films, such as phases and morphology, were characterized and analyzed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The results showed that moderate-intensity plasma was more easily obtained on the silicon MAO (Si-MAO) films than on the aluminum MAO (Al-MAO) ones. Similarly, a higher laser power was necessary to liquefy or gasify alumina (Al2O3). Compared with the defective structure of Al-MAO film after LSM, the structure of the Si-MAO film was almost free of defects. The film morphologies showed that an MAO film with low porosity and a smooth surface can be obtained after LSM treatment using proper parameters. In conclusion, the composite silicate system process using the silicon electrolyte had better modification performance.
Deciphering the link between procurement systems and sustainable building success in Hong Kong
Authors: Tang Ziwei , Ng S Thomas , Skitmore Martin
Published: September 2019

Sustainable buildings are regarded as one of the most effective approaches to saving resources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting sustainable development. In the absence of prior research, Delphi as a group model-building approach for building a system dynamics model is appropriate for capturing the knowledge of construction professionals to identify the relationship between procurement systems and sustainable building success by facilitating efficient group communication. The concepts of the Delphi method were reviewed. Two rounds of Delphi questionnaires were carried out to identify the causal relationships between procurement system variables, critical success factors and success criteria. A causal-loop diagram was built based on the results of the two rounds of Delphi study; this will serve as a basis for building a system dynamics model of sustainable building success in a future study. The results show that some critical success factors related to sustainable building in Hong Kong include ‘market planning/business case for sustainability as sustainable objectives’; ‘top management commitment and support’; ‘sustainable strategic planning’; ‘green timing: early evaluation and adoption of sustainability considerations’; and ‘training and education’.

Published: September 2019

The results of treatment of localized (early) pancreatic cancer are unsatisfactory despite all achievements of modern clinical and surgical oncology. Nevertheless, certain success was achieved even in these extremely unfavorable patients regarding their prognosis. The authors analyzed evolution of adjuvant therapy, as well as new concepts in the treatment of borderline resectable and resectable pancreatic cancer. Modern anticancer therapy with acceptable toxicity profile significantly improved the outcomes. However, further research is needed to improve the effectiveness of treatment despite favorable current results.

The objective of this study was to analyze if the linear measurements performed on 206 CT scans are dimorphic and can be used as an auxiliary method for forensic identification as a secondary method according to INTERPOL 2014. A logistic regression model was developed to determine the sex of the individual analyzed. The measurements were performed on computed tomography of the Osteological Biobank and tomography of FOP_UNICAMP, in 117 male and 89 female CT scans with known age, ancestry and cause of death. OnDemand3D® software was used for the following measures: sella turcica (center) to nasal suture, sella turcica (center) to anterior nasal spine, sella turcica to ENP, sella turcica (center) to start; Nasal suture to ENA; Nasal suture to the ENP, in the median sagittal section. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to establish the distribution and equality of variances (homoscedasticity) of the variables under study. The unpaired t-test and the Pearson correlation coefficient were conducted, resulting in a logistic regression using the Stepwise-Forward method for sex. This study was approved by CAAE 54171916.0.0000.5418. It was verified that all measures studied are dimorphic, but the ß of the measures PPST-ENA; SNRE-ENA; SNRE-ENP; ENA-ENP were the most statistically significant, being selected to determine the multiple model. The logistic regression model was created: [Logit: -19.909 + 0.177 (SNRE-ENA) + 0.231 (ENA-P)]. The model obtained in this study, presented a 77.2% accuracy, being a good result to be used as a coadjuvant method to other sex estimation methods in mixed populations, such as Brazil.

PEMBUATAN STANDAR CESIUM DARI LARUTAN PEB U3Si2/Al PASCA IRADIASI DENSITAS 2,96 gU/cm3 DENGAN METODE PENGENDAPAN CsClO4. Larutan bahan bakar U3Si2/Al pasca iradiasi sebagai hasil analisis burn up banyak dihasilkan di dalam hot cell Instalasi Radiometalurgi (IRM). Larutan tersebut belum dapat dilimbahkan karena masih mengandung isotop 137Cs dan hasil fisi lainnya yang mempunyai waktu paruh panjang, tetapi larutan tersebut dapat digunakan sebagai sumber standar sekunder isotop 137Cs untuk keperluan analisis. Dalam melakukan analisis bahan bakar pasca iradiasi selalu menggunakan metode spektrometer- γ yang valid dan terkalibrasi. Standar yang digunakan untuk mengkalibrasi energi spektrometer-γ adalah isotop 137Cs. Permasalahannya adalah kalibrasi spektrometer-γ tidak dapat dilakukan secara rutin karena tidak tersedianya sumber standar. Kebutuhan standar isotop 137Cs untuk litbang masih tergantung dari luar negeri. Oleh karena itu, pada penelitian ini, PTBBN dan PTKMR bertujuan untuk membuat sumber standar sekunder isotop 137Cs dengan aktivitas 10330 ± 411 Bq. Standar diperoleh dari larutan hasil pemisahan hasil fisi 137Cs dengan uranium dalam PEB U3Si2/Al pasca iradiasi. Pemisahan 137Cs dengan uranium dilakukan dengan metode pengendapan menggunakan serbuk CsNO3 dan HClO4 sebagai carier. Hasil pemisahan diperoleh endapan 137CsClO4, kemudian dikeringkan dan ditimbang, untuk selanjutnya diukur besar aktivitasnya menggunakan spektrometer-γ. Endapan 137CsClO4 keringkemudian dilakukan pengkemasan menjadi sumber standar tertutup (shield source) dan disertifikasi oleh PTKMR sehingga diperoleh standar sekunder isotop 137Cs yang siap digunakan untuk mengkalibrasi energi spektrometer-γ.Kata kunci : Larutan PEB U3Si2/Al, cesium, kalibrasi, standar sekunder, spektrometer-γ

O coeficiente book-to-market caracteriza-se pela vinculação tanto ao valor contábil quanto ao valor de mercado das empresas, possibilitando, para o investidor, identificar perspectivas futuras diante do contexto interno, assim como ter a visão dos investidores em relação à empresa. Dessa forma, busca-se, neste trabalho, analisar a relação de variáveis contábeis e o índice book-to-market em 190 companhias abertas brasileiras, no período de 2010 a 2016. Para tanto, foram utilizadas estatísticas descritivas e regressão linear com dados em painel. Como principais resultados, destacam-se a relação negativa entre o book-to-market e o valor de mercado, a relação negativa entre o endividamento e o book-to-market. Assim, à medida que as empresas investem, aumenta seu CAPEX e se espera, em média, que o book-to-market aumente. Para o modelo proposto e as variáveis selecionadas, estas apresentaram significância estatística para explicar as variações do book-to-market. Conclui-se que há uma relação significativa, positiva, entre as variáveis contábeis e o coeficiente book-to-market.

Everydays Life of the Interned Ukrainian Soldiers in the Libereс Camp (Czechoslovakia): Endeavour of Visualization (by Materials of the Central State Archives of Supreme Authorities and Government of Ukraine and Slavonic Library in Prague)
Authors: Sribniak Іhor , Khlebina Anna
Published: September 2019

The creation of the Libereс camp of interned soldiers-Ukrainians was caused by emergence on the territory of Czechoslovakia of certain groups of Ukrainian soldiers, who tried to get back to their motherland. Their placement in the camp has begun at September 1920, and the life of the camp was built on a military basis. With a view to establish of Liberec camp`s cultural and educational life, there were created the «Cultural and Educational Club» of four (theatrical, musical, historical and photographic) sections. Its primary task was to set up courses for illiterates, as well as providing regular statements for other categories of interned soldiers, organization of sports clubs and archiving.

Realization of cultural and educational work at the Liberec camp was largely depended on financial assistance, received from officers of the Ukrainian Galician Army interned at Německé Jablonné camp. It was especially needed in the winter of 1920-1921, when camp inhabitants has suffered of cold in wooden barracks and of deficient food rations. However, this situation did not prevent the organization of activities a number of artistic and educational centers (theater, choirs, courses, schools) in the Camp, intensive national patriotic and educational work as well. There was a library with a fund of about 1000 books and also a shop. The camp command had sought therefore to socialize of interned soldiers, caring for their general and special education for civil professions. Most of the camp inhabitants went gradually out of Camp as part of the workers’ teams to various parts of Czechoslovakia.

At the same time, the military discipline was supported in the Camp; military exercises were required, every time when new soldiers came to the Camp, the military organization, specific for the parts of the UHA, was restored. Even workers’ teams formed in the Camp, have a military basis and were subordinated to the UHA Army’s Initial command. These measures were aimed to preparing Ukrainian soldiers for the continuation of the armed fighting for Ukraine’s independence.
The Role of National Minorities in the Polish Armed Forces During the September 1939 Campaign
Authors: Yarovyj Valerii , Dmytruk Yaroslava
Published: September 2019

The article covers the issues of participation in the September 1939 campaign of representatives of national minorities who served at that time in the Polish Army. Also made an attempt to unbiased consideration of the problem. The authors paid attention to the issue of the number of members of national minorities in the Polish Army on the eve of the Second World War, as well as analyzed the attitude of this category of soldiers to fulfilling their military duty, in particular, based on the memoirs of participants in the events of that time. Also raised is the issue of cases of desertion from Polish armed forces members of national minorities during the September campaign. Unfortunately, the exact number of national minority soldiers who participated in the September 1939 campaign is very difficult to determine, since many documents from the period of the September campaign were destroyed, while during the war a part of the them went to the German and Soviet archives, where most of them were lost. On the basis of preserved materials, one can only say that the attitude of representatives of national minorities – Ukrainians, Belarusians, Germans or Jews, dressed in Polish forms in September 1939 – is somewhat different. Often, they selflessly fought, but there were cases of desertion, however, for the sake of justice, it should be noted that the practice of desertion in the early days of the war was also inherent in representatives of Polish nationality. On the basis of the material under study, have made sufficiently substantiated generalizations and conclusions regarding key aspects related to the participation of representatives of national minorities who served in the Polish Army in the September 1939 campaign. It is irrefutable that from the very first days of the war ordinary soldiers who came from national minorities, as well as Ukrainian contract officers began to defend the Polish state, and until the end continued to bravely and courageously fight the enemy, often at the cost of their own lives.

Published: September 2019

Purpose: In this study, the relationship between radiologic progression and complete blood count parameters and derivatives, which have appeared as biomarkers for systemic inflammation in recent years, were evaluated in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 209 consecutive patients 40 to 80 years of age diagnosed with knee OA according to 2010 American College of Rheumatology clinical criteria. Participants’ demographic characteristics, complete blood parameters and derivatives were recorded. Blood platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and monocyte to neutrophil ratio (MNR) levels were calculated. Results: The majority of patients with high-grade knee OA were determined to be females of an advanced agewith higher patellar tendon length (PTL). Their leukocyte (WBC), neutrophil, and NLR levels were significantly higher than others. When we compared this group of patients to four groups (grades 1-4), advanced age, female gender, PTL, Q angle, WBC, neutrophils, mean platelet volume (MPV), and NLR were significantly higher in patients with grade 4 knee OA. Conclusion: In advanced knee OA, patellofemoral Q angle and PTL increased along with serum WBC, neutrophil, NLR, and MPV levels while RBC, Hb, lymphocyte, monocyte, basophil, and eosinophil levels were reduced. In the future, these parameters may be used as a guide to OA progression.

Purpose: A significant number of the protective stomas temporarily applied in order to reduce the effects of anastomosis complications after rectal cancer surgery cannot be closed and become permanent. In this study, the causes that can lead to a permanent stoma were investigated.Materials and Methods: Patients who underwent elective surgery with low anterior resection and protective ileostomy due to rectal cancer were included in the study. Patients whose stoma could not be closed within one year were evaluated as permanent stoma.Results: 66 patients were included in the study. The mean closing time for the stomas were found as 5, 6 +2,5 (1-12)months. The stomas of twelve (18.2%) of the patients could not be closed and became permanent. The presence of metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis, the proximity of the anastomosis to the anal entry, coloanal anastomosis, and the final pathology showing stage IIIC were found to be risk factors for  permanent stoma.Conclusion: Some of the stomas applied temporarily due to surgical treatment of rectal cancer became permanent. Before the index operation, the patient and their relatives should be informed that in the presence of certain risk factors, these stomas may not be closed and become permanent.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess impulsivity and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in adult patients with trichotillomania.Materials and Methods: Subjects diagnosed with trichotillomania primary or comorbid to other psychiatric disorders who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. Data were collected retrospectively. Minnesota Impulse Control Disorders Interview Scale (MIDI), the Barratt's Impulsivity Scale (BIS), Adult ADD/ADHD DSM IV- Based Diagnostic Screening and Rating Scale, Wender Utah Rating Scale (WURS) were evaluated.Results: 40 patients with trichotillomania and 18 patients with trichotillomania + adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder were included in the study. Sociodemographic characteristics of two groups were similar. Rate of pathologic gambling was higher in trichotillomania + adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder group. Trichotillomania + adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder group had statistically higher scores from attention deficit part of Adult ADD/ADHD DSM IV- Based Diagnostic Screening and Rating Scale. Conclusion: Adult attention deficit hyperactivity is more related to attention deficit in trichotillomania patients and impulsivity is a common feature in both disorders.

Published: September 2019

This article describes for the first time in the domestic literature a clinical case of the therapeutic effect of neuromodulation on the permanent form of atrial fibrillation and chronic heart failure in an elderly patient with spinal stenosis which led to the development of pain syndrome and movement disorders. For the treatment of neurological pathology, at the beginning epidural administration of drugs was applied, followed by spinal cord stimulation trial and implantation of permanent neurostimulator. At each stage of treatment conducted by a functional neurosurgeon the patient had a spontaneous restoration of sinus rhythm, and during continuous neurostimulation a stable retention of sinus rhythm and regression of heart failure symptoms have been observed throughout a long observation period. The article also presents the data of a few experimental and clinical studies on the use of neuromodulation in cardiology, describes the method of implantation of spinal electrodes and analyzes possible mechanisms of modulation of the autonomic innervation of the heart, implemented by spinal cord stimulation.

Aim: to find out whether atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) is related to some definite localization or extent of coronary artery lesions or type of coronary circulation. Materials and methods. We compared data of clinical, laboratory, and instrumental examination of 178 IHD patients from the Registry of coronary angiography of patients with AF (main group) and 331 patients (comparison group) selected according to propensity score matching with balancing by sex, age, body mass index, severity of chronic heart failure, frequency of myocardial infarctions, detection of arterial hypertension, and thyroid diseases. Results. The groups did not differ in terms of alcohol use, frequency of smoking, and detection of diabetes. Patients with AF compared with those without had higher mean heart rate (105±32 vs. 70±13 bpm, р<0.001), lower level of triglycerides (1.74±1.08 vs. 1.94±1.17 mmol / l, р=0.019). AF patients more rarely had class III–IV effort angina (52.9 % vs. 66.5 %, р=0.041). Rate of detection of left ventricular (LV) dilatation and index of LV asynergy in both groups were similar, but absolute dimensions and indexes of LV, left atrium, right ventricle, LV myocardial mass were higher in the AF group. Hemodynamically significant mitral regurgitation and lowering of LV contractility were more often detected in patients with AF (49.1 % vs. 18.4 %, р<0.001, and 56.2 % vs. 39.5 %, р<0.001, in main and comparison groups, respectively). Analysis of coronary angiography data showed that patients with compared with those without AF more often had right type of coronary circulation (87.5 % vs. 80.4 %, р=0.043) as well as lesions of the right coronary artery (92.1 % vs. 85.8 %, р=0.037), and less often lesions of left coronary artery trunk (16.3 % vs. 24.8 %, р=0.027). Conclusion. AF in patients with IHD is associated with right coronary artery lesions and right type of coronary circulation.

Modern biometric systems based on face recognition demonstrate high recognition quality, but they are vulnerable to face presentation attacks, such as photo or replay attack. Existing face anti-spoofing methods are mostly based on texture analysis and due to lack of training data either use hand-crafted features or ﬁne-tuned pretrained deep models. In this paper we present a novel CNN-based approach for face anti-spoofing, based on joint analysis of the presence of a spoofing medium and eye blinking. For training our classifiers we propose the procedure of synthetic data generation which allows us to train powerful deep models from scratch. Experimental analysis on the challenging datasets (CASIA-FASD, NUUA Imposter) shows that our method can obtain state-of-the-art results.
Older Jobseekers’ Temporal Identity Work: Relating to Past, Present, and Future
Authors: Steel Tytti , Tuori Annamari
Published: September 2019

This paper examines how older unemployed people cope with unemployment through temporal identity work. By temporal identity work, we refer to identity work that takes place at junctions between past, present, and future working lives and which relates to these tenses as a part of identity construction.The paper is based on 30 semi-structured interviews with jobseekers aged 50+ living in a region that has undergone deindustrialization and suffers from high unemployment rates. In the interview material, we identified three main types of identity work: Relying on the past, renewing oneself, and tweaking one’s working identity. This article identifies ‘respectably unemployed’ as the cultural construction in relation to which identity work is done in a society that values paid work highly. The paper contributes to the literature on age and unemployment by enhancing the understanding of older jobseekers’ identity work as a contextually embedded temporal process.
Tommy Isidorsson & Julia Kubisa (eds.): Job Quality in an Era of Flexibility. Experiences in a European Context, Routledge, 2019

Published: September 2019

The idea behind this book is thrilling: If we presuppose that we since a couple of decades live in an era of flexibility in working life – in which way has the quality of jobs been changed? Now, since a long time, we know that the concept of ‘flexibility’ is of various meanings and often deceptive (Furåker et al. 2007; Skorstad & Ramsdal 2016). It is strongly value laden in that everything that is flexible stands out as something good and every word combined with flexibility becomes a good word – wage flexibility, organizational flexibility, time flexibility, flexible labor market, flexible working life. Who can be against flexibility? Who can call for three cheers for rigidity? (...)
