Published: September 2018

First Industrial Revolution, which is a product of steam engines invention in 18th century, along withthe spontaneous increase of scientific studies has caused increases in technological developments. Thiscondition, after passing different stages till reaching 2000’s, has paved the way for the Fourth IndustrialRevolution. The main difference between the so-called Industry 4.0 and the other revolutions is the quickexpansion of technological developments. Moreover, Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is also calledIndustry 4.0, causes serious paradigm changes in governments, businesses and even in all segmentsof the society. Production occurs with the interaction of different technologies and automation of thesystem in the production improves each day. This automation has been made possible through “cyber– physical systems”, “internet of things”, and “internet of services” terms, thus causing a continuousdecline in the demand for human labor in the production process. Continuous decline in the demandfor human labor along with wide-spreading automation, has emerged as a subject matter that needsto be evaluated in the framework of international political economy because eastern countries thatattract foreign direct investments through their cheap labor will probably bring subtle problems inthe global economy if these investments are withdrawn. Furthermore, countries that have effectivelyimplemented industry 4.0 implementations are likely to gain significant competitive advantages in theglobal economy, and these advantages will be further enhanced by improved developments. Turkey,having less labor force as compared to the western countries and aiming to enter G10 countries, needsdesperately to keep up with the Fourth Industrial Revolution era in order to reach this goal. Thus, thisstudy through explaining the Industry 4.0 period evaluates its impact on global economy and Turkey.
Foucault’nun Yöntemi: Hakikatin Söylemsel İnşasının Arkeolojisi ve Soykütüğü
Authors: BAYRAM Ahmet Kemal
Published: September 2018

The purpose of this paper is to examine archeological method and genealogical approach that Foucaultrefers to as both a method and a strategy. Portraying power-knowledge relations as the essence ofmodern society and discourse, Foucault extensively studied dominant discourses in Western thoughtsince 16th century through archeological method. By means of archeological method, the researchercould delve into the roots of dominant discourse functioned within culture. Archeology, in thisframework, is a practice or “archive” science in Foucault’s work. Taking archeology as a field of research,Foucault not only examines meaning or reality, but also examines the historical a priori or possibilities,existence and transformations of discourses as they acquire a positive character. Archeology, throughthe description of conditions or rules, tries to “make visible invisible that things are not visible inthe surface”. The genealogy, in the sense of history of present, investigates how we have constituted,recognized and accepted ourselves as subjects.
2000’lerde ABD Yaptırımlarının İran-Türkiye Ekonomik İşbirliğine Etkileri: Neo-Gramsciyen Bir Çözümleme
Authors: ORHON ÖZDAĞ Hande
Published: September 2018

In this paper, it is attempted to analyse how the US sanctions against Iran have affected the economiccooperation between Iran and Turkey, that is developed in 2000’s, within the framework of Neo-Gramscian Theory. It is written in order to analyse the dynamics of the economic cooperation betweenthese two countries and the affects of the US sanctions on these dynamics, not to provide an economicand mathematical analysis or to test the validity of the adopted theory. Neo-Gramscian conceptionof “historical bloc” is the basic element of the conceptual framework of this paper. It is asserted thatTurkey and Iran, especially since 2000’s, have been the constituents of rival historical blocs. The mainarguments of this paper can be summarized as the following: (i) The economic relations between Iranand Turkey must be evaluated with respect to the political tendencies within these countries and theirpositions in the world order, not merely in terms of cooperation or competition between the two. Theeffects of US sanctions upon the bilateral economic relations can be analyzed within this context. (ii)US sanctions had enabling and restraining effects on Iran-Turkey economic relations. (iii) These effectshave been shaped by the dynamics of the world order, the position of the political elites of Iran andTurkey within the world order and their relations with USA. In this context, firstly, the fundamentalconcepts of the analysis of the subject matter is explained, then, it is attempted to provide certainidentifications about the positioning of Iran and Turkey within the current world order. After providingan overall assessment of the economic relations between Iran and Turkey, the focus directed towardsthe enabling and restraining effects of the US sanctions on the economic relations between Iran andTurkey; and here, it is attempted to take under consideration especially the political struggles insideboth of the countries and the approaches of the powers of both of the countries towards the worldorder. In this paper, the method pursued is an analysis of the data provided by literature review throughthe concepts of Neo-Gramscian theory; a qualitative comparison between the approaches of the twostates towards the world order is used; and with regard to the discussions in domestic politics of Iranabout the sanctions, news sources in Persian are used.

Accelerated Healing in Asphalt Concrete via Laboratory Microwave Heating
Authors: Wang Haopeng , Yang Jun , Lu Guoyang , Liu Xueyan
Published: September 2018

Self-healing of asphalt concrete (AC) is highly dependent on temperature, and its healing capacity increases with elevated temperatures. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of microwave heating on promotion of self-healing in AC. With this purpose, two types of AC specimens (neat AC without additives and conductive AC containing steel fiber and graphite) were prepared to for use in thermal conductivity, microwave heating speed tests, four-point bending fatigue, and healing tests. In addition, oscillatory frequency sweep tests were carried out to obtain the flow behavior of asphalt binder. Results indicated that AC containing electrically conductive additives had a higher thermal conductivity and microwave heating speed than neat AC. It was also found that the fatigue resistance and healing capacity of conductive AC after microwave heating were higher than that of neat AC. Moreover, there exists a critical temperature (corresponding to near-Newtonian behavior temperature of asphalt binder) above which healing of AC starts and an optimum heating time (temperature) to maximize the healing effect. Finally, it was found that an intermittent heating mode with a cooling process is more effective than the consecutive heating mode to enhance the healing capacity of AC. Based on these findings, it is concluded that self-healing efficiency of AC can be enhanced via microwave heating.

Como alometría se entiende el crecimiento relativo de una estructura biológica respecto a otra(s) o al organismo total y da cuenta de los cambios de conformación que derivan de la modificación de tamaño. Un caso particular es cuando la velocidad de crecimiento es la misma entre los caracteres en estudio, lo cual recibe el nombre de isometría. A fin de estudiar este fenómeno en el conejo doméstico, se colectó un total de 71 cadáveres frescos de conejos, de diferente edad, correspondientes a animales destetados, y se obtuvo por descarnado el cráneo de cada uno. De ellos, 59 correspondían al tipo de compañía (tipos “toys” y “beliers”) y 12 al tipo carnicero (californiano/neozelandés). Se captó una imagen digital, en la cara lateral, de cada cráneo, sobre la que posteriormente se situaron 12 hitos anatómicos, analizados mediante métodos de morfometría geométrica. Los conejos de carne presentaron un comportamiento claramente isométrico, mientras que los de compañía, y a pesar de que muchos ya eran adultos, este comportamiento era alométrico. Nos encontramos, pues, ante un caso de gerontomorfia en los conejos de carne —un desarrollo precoz— y una pedomorfia en los de compañía —un retardo en su crecimiento, puesto que, aunque adultos, siguen presentando una cara corta y plana, y un cráneo proporcionalmente grande, caracteres típicamente juveniles—. Para los primeros un desarrollo lo más precoz posible y para los segundos una retención de los caracteres juveniles; en ambos tipos, ejemplo de heterocronías de desarrollo.

Published: September 2018

La criptococosis felina es causada por las levaduras encapsuladas de los complejos Cryptococcus neoformans y Cryptococcus gattii. Esta es la micosis sistémica más frecuente en felinos, los cuales pueden ser asintomáticos y presentar signos respiratorios o neurológicos. No han sido reportados casos en Costa Rica. Se recibió un paciente felino, macho, sin raza definida, pelo corto, de 4 años de edad, con historia de 6 meses de presentar estornudos y secreción nasal incolora, unilateral, refractaria a los tratamientos administrados. Se le realizó un lavado y una biopsia de mucosa nasal para análisis citológico y micológico. En la citología, se observó un proceso inflamatorio piogranulomatoso y gran cantidad de levaduras encapsuladas. Estas se observaron también en el examen microscópico directo con KOH, tinta china y frotis teñido con Giemsa. En cultivo, se aisló Cryptococcus sp. y se confirmó C. neoformans, mediante API 20 C AUX (Biomérieux®). Se administró tratamiento durante 9 meses y el gato evolucionó favorablemente. Se debe considerar la criptococosis en el diagnóstico diferencial de pacientes felinos con descargas nasales unilaterales incoloras y crónicas. La confirmación se debe realizar mediante pruebas de laboratorio para instaurar el tratamiento pertinente.

Coronary computed tomography (CT) is well established for the assessment of symptomatic patients with suspected but not yet confirmed coronary artery disease with high diagnostic accuracy and risk prediction. Until recently, coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) has played a limited role in the management of complex coronary artery disease (CAD) and in planning revascularisation strategies. With the advent of FFRCT, enabling anatomy and physiology with a single study and the ability to adjudicate lesion specific pressure loss, the potential of combined coronary CT angiography (CCTA) and fractional flow reserve (FFR) computed from non-invasive CT angiography (FFRCT) to inform treatment decision-making and help guide revascularisation has been recognised. In this review, we highlight the evolving role of FFRCT in the management of complex CAD; the opportunities, the data and the unanswered questions.

Although a combination of multiple strategies to prevent and treat coronary artery disease (CAD) has led to a relative reduction in cardiovascular mortality over recent decades, CAD remains the greatest cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A variety of individual factors and circumstances other than clinical presentation and treatment type contribute to determining the outcome of CAD. It is increasingly understood that personalised medicine, by taking these factors into account, achieves better results than “one-size-fitsall” approaches. In recent years, the multiplication of risk scoring systems for CAD has generated some degree of uncertainty regarding whether, when and how predictive models should be adopted when making clinical decisions. Against this background, this article reviews the most accepted risk models for patients with evidence of CAD to provide practical guidance within the current landscape of tools developed for prognostic risk stratification.
ORBITA: What Goes Around, Comes Around… Or Does It?

Published: September 2018

Current guidelines recommend percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ongoing stable angina symptoms despite optimal medical therapy (OMT), although trials have shown no reduction in death or myocardial infarction. The recently published ORBITA trial compared OMT + PCI with OMT + ‘placebo’ PCI in patients with angina and single-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD), and found no significant difference in treadmill exercise time between the two groups after six weeks. The trial concluded that invasive procedures can be assessed with placebo control while numerous editorials interpreted the trial as showing that PCI has no role in the management of stable angina. However, the highly selected patient population, low ischaemic burden and level of symptoms and high proportion of nonflow-limiting stenoses on invasive physiological testing mean that, while ground-breaking in terms of its methodology, ORBITA does not add to the current evidence base supporting ischaemia-guided revascularisation if symptoms are not controlled on medical therapy alone.

Published: September 2018

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is currently performed through an alternative access in 15 % of patients. The transapical access is progressively being abandoned as a result of its invasiveness and poor outcomes. Existing data does not allow TAVI operators to favour one access over another — between transcarotid, trans-subclavian and transaortic — because all have specific strengths and weaknesses. The percutaneous trans-subclavian access might become the main surgery-free alternative access, although further research is needed regarding its safety. Moreover, the difficult learning curve might compromise its adoption. The transcaval access is at an experimental stage and requires the development of dedicated cavo-aortic crossing techniques and closure devices.
On the small-strain stiffness of polypropylene fibre-sand mixtures
Authors: Li H. , Senetakis K. , Khoshghalb A.
Published: September 2018

In this study, the effect of fibre reinforcement on the small-strain shear modulus (Gmax) of sandy soils is investigated. A comprehensive set of 47 specimens composed of different types of sand reinforced with variable percentages of polypropylene fibres were tested using a Hardin-type resonant column apparatus embedded with bender element inserts to study the effect of fibre inclusion and content on the Gmaxof sands with different particle shapes and gradations. Accordingly, an expression of Gmaxfor sands, previously proposed by the last two authors and their colleagues, was systematically modified in this study to include the effect of fibre content to estimate the small-strain shear modulus of fibre reinforced sands. An additional set of dynamic tests was performed to verify the newly proposed expression. It was shown that the newly developed expression can predict the Gmaxof sand-fibre mixtures with an accuracy of around ±20%, with the error being limited to ±10% in the majority of the cases.

Published: September 2018

Renewable sources – namely, algae oil and diacids – were used for the synthesis of alkyd (ALK) and polyesteramide (PEA) polyols. The prepared polyols were characterised by Fourier transform infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques and size exclusion chromatography analysis. After reaction with diisocyanate, polyols were converted to polyurethane (PU) coatings, which were then characterised by X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. The biocidal activities of the films were evaluated against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli ) and Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) by using the turbidity method as well as by observation of film degradation or biofilm formation by bacteria on the surface of a metal tray by using scanning electron microscopy. The PUs obtained using ALK and PEA showed better antimicrobial properties compared with PUs based on algae oil fatty amide (AOFA), monoglyceride (MG) and even an uncoated mild steel (MS) panel. The anticorrosion properties of PU coatings were evaluated by the potential dynamic polarisation (PDP) method in a 3·5 wt% sodium chloride (NaCl) corrosive media. All coated samples (ALK and PEA) showed good barrier properties against corrosion compared with AOFA, MG and the uncoated MS panel. The prepared algae-oil-based PU coatings showed better chemical, mechanical, water-repellent, antimicrobial, anticorrosive and thermal properties.

Published: September 2018

This study presents an experimental evaluation of three different methods for determining the tensile strength of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC). The test methods include the splitting test (ST), double punch test (DPT) and direct tensile test (DTT). The compressive strength of the concrete used in this study ranged between 30 and 80 MPa with 0%, 1·5% and 3% steel fibre by volume of the concrete. In total, 81 concrete cylinders were cast and tested for 28-d compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and double punch tensile strength of the concrete. In addition, 27 concrete prism specimens were cast and tested to determine the direct tensile strength of the concrete. The test results show that, compared to the ST, the DPT is more effective in predicting the tensile strength of SFRC, as the tensile strengths obtained from the DPT and the direct tensile test are very close. The DPT is easier to perform and costs less than the ST and the DTT.

Antecedentes: El conocimiento florístico del Noroeste (NO) de México tuvo un gran impulso por parte de botánicos norteamericanos hasta la primera mitad del siglo XX.Pregunta: ¿Las exploraciones botánicas realizadas, histórica y recientemente en el área de estudio, son adecuadas para documentar de forma robusta su composición y estructura florística?Sitio de Estudio: El NO de México incluye los estados de Baja California, Baja California Sur y Sonora.Métodos: Los autores son los responsables de los herbarios incluidos en la compilación (BCMEX, HCIB, SD, y USON), cada uno dedicado a documentar la flora de las tres entidades de interés desde hace tres décadas Los datos florísticos fueron obtenidos principalmente del recuento de las bases de datos de los herbarios avocados a esta región (aprox. 110,000 registros), además de la incorporación de información de bibliografía previa e información reciente, producto del trabajo de campo de los autores. Las bases de datos consultadas se componen de 27,117 sitios de colecta.Resultados: La base de datos final obtenida se compone de 5,865 taxones a nivel de especie y categorías menores. Por entidad, Sonora es la más biodiversa con 3,762 taxones, Baja California tiene 2,583 y Baja California Sur consigna 2,070. Al compararse con el centro y sur del país, el NO Mexicano es relativamente pobre en especies, pero la proporción de taxones endémicos es relevante. Este último análisis muestra dentro de la región a 941 especies, de las cuales 294, 391 y 79 se encuentran restringidos a Baja California, Baja California Sur y Sonora, respectivamente; y 177 se comparten entre las entidades. La región comprende 18 géneros endémicos, incluidos en 10 familias.Conclusiones: Con base en la compilación del presente estudio se puede considerar la existencia de una excelente plataforma de conocimiento florístico para esta región, pero aún existen áreas geográficas, que incluyen todo tipo de topografía, todavía inaccesibles que pueden incrementar la flora total y endémica. Ante los riesgos actuales, es prioritario establecer programas de protección para sus especies exclusivas, ya que gran parte de las mismas tienen una distribución restringida.

Hypertension is a long-term medical condition in which the pressure of blood travelling through the arteries is too high. This puts increased strain on the heart which, if left untreated, can lead to increased risk of heart attack or stroke. It is extremely common and is a major cause of death and disease worldwide, however many cases remain undiagnosed and treatment is not as effective as it could be. General practitioners play an important role in the early diagnosis and treatment of high blood pressure. In general, patients are treated with a combination of different drugs, as using a single drug is only effective in a limited number of patients. If initial treatment with two drugs fails then the current guidelines recommend increasing the dosage of these drugs, switching to two different drugs or adding a third drug. If treatment with three drugs is needed, the guidelines favour the use of fixed-dose or single-pill combinations, because reducing multiple drug treatment to one tablet daily helps improve the chance of patients always remembering to take their medication. The aim of this study is to complete a large-scale survey to investigate how well blood pressure is controlled in hypertensive patients who are being treated with more than one blood pressure medication.
Towards a Conceptual Framework for Struggles over Democracy in Backsliding States: Gender Equality Policy in Central Eastern Europe
Authors: Krizsan Andrea , Roggeband Conny
Published: September 2018

Trends of de-democratization across Europe and the Americas are emerging, along with opposition to gender equality and threats to previous gender equality policy gains. Yet de-democratization has been barely analysed through the lens of gender equality, and so far, efforts to systematically analyse the implications for inclusive democracy and the representation of gender interests are lacking. Backsliding in gender policies, and new forms of feminist engagement with hostile states and publics, also raise new challenges to the literature on gender and politics. In this article we explore gender equality policy backsliding in fragile democracies. Backsliding and de-democratization processes in these contexts pose a series of important challenges to how we have thought about gender policy change in progressive, mainly Western democratic contexts until now. We propose a conceptual framework discussing these two conceptually interesting realms: backsliding in gender equality policies, and feminist responses to backsliding. We illustrate our framework with empirical observations from four backsliding or temporarily backsliding Central and Eastern European countries: Croatia, Hungary, Poland and Romania. With our article we aim to contribute to the understanding of gendered aspects of de-democratization both in gender and politics literature and in mainstream democratization literature.
Is Europe Cascading into Fascism? Addressing Key Concepts including Gender and Violence
Authors: Walby Sylvia
Published: September 2018

Is Europe cascading into fascism? The answer to this question matters for understanding the opposition to gender equality projects in Europe. The article addresses some of the key concepts needed to answer this question. Is ‘fascism’ or ‘authoritarian neoliberalism’ or just ‘neoliberalism’ the most appropriate concept to capture the turn to the right? The article compares the extent to which these concepts encompass ‘violence’ and ‘gender’. ‘Fascism’ is an important benchmark from European history, but Europe has not yet reached its levels of violence. The qualifier ‘authoritarian’ is not needed for ‘neoliberalism’ since it generates a trajectory towards violence. Some conceptual work is required in order to develop ‘neoliberalism’ to encompass ‘gender’ and ‘violence’, but there are bodies of work that support such a development. Including gender in analyses of the macro level changes occurring in Europe requires the concept of ‘varieties of gender regime’, which enables the conceptualisation of neoliberalism as gendered.
Disentangling and Locating the “Global Right”: Anti-Gender Campaigns in Europe
Authors: Paternotte David , Kuhar Roman
Published: September 2018

This article examines the development of campaigns against “gender ideology” in Europe, leading to the emergence of a specific family of mobilizations that we call anti-gender campaigns. These campaigns, started in the mid-1990s as a Catholic project in reaction to the results of the UN conferences of Cairo and Bejing, but developed significantly in several European countries after crucial encounters with right-wing populism. While recognizing the importance of these crossovers, we contend the interpretation that mobilizations against “gender ideology” and right-wing populism are the two faces of the same coin, and we plead for a more complex understanding of the ways in which distinct—and sometimes competing—projects can converge in specific settings. We argue that research on the “Global Right Wing” should therefore disentangle the various components of this phenomenon, and locate them in concrete settings. We show that this research strategy allows us to better grasp the specificities of each project and the ways in which they interact. Opening our eyes on crucial developments in contemporary Europe, this strategy also prevents researchers from falling into the trap of a global and unqualified backlash against everything achieved in terms of gender and sexuality in the last decades.

Published: September 2018

This study
explored written feedback beliefs and practices and their underlying factors
from one novice and one experienced ESL teacher. The study adopted a case
study approach. Data were collected over 15 weeks through two semi-structured
interviews, three stimulated recall interviews based on three sets of student
writing analyses, and three classroom observations. Ten student portfolios,
including each teacher’s written feedback practices over a semester, were also
examined. Teachers’ written feedback on the student writing was grouped based
on the scheme by Ferris (2007). The analyses revealed that both participants
opted to provide written feedback for several reasons. Additionally, both
teachers gave comprehensive corrective written feedback throughout the term
for a variety of reasons. The most salient motives behind the practices and
beliefs were: i teachers’ attitudes towards writing and errors, and the roles
of teacher and students in writing; ii pre-service teacher education and
experience; and iii school policies.

Published: September 2018

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of resveratrol (RSV) against risperidone (RIS) on weight gain/loss via of the expression of some various neurotransmitter receptors. Materials and Methods: Thirty five female Spraque-Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups (n=7): Control, RIS, RIS+RSV-1, RIS+RSV-2, RIS+RSV-3. Rats were treated orally with RIS (2 mg/kg/day) and RSV (20, 40 and 80 mg/kg/day) for 14 days. On treatment day 15, blood and brain tissues were removed for analysis. Results: The reduced neuropeptide Y1 expression levels in the RSV groups correlated with the RSV-induced weight loss. The Dopamine D1 receptor and seratonin 5-HT2c expression levels decreased significantly with RSV treatment. In addition, the RSV increased the glucose, triiodothyronine, tetraiodothyronine, and total antioxidant status, and decreased the cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoproteins, low density lipoproteins, thyroid-stimulating hormone, oxidative stress index, and total oxidant status levels significantly. Conclusion: The daily treatment with RSV increased the antioxidant capacity, protected the apoptotic cell injury, and the possibility of death. RSV could be an effective course of therapy to enhance therapeutic efficacy.

Toplam 33 (10’u herpes simpleks, 20’si herpes zoster ve 3’ü varisella) hastada Tzanck yayma sonucu pozitif olarak kaydedilmişti. Yalnız kesin tanısı da herpetik infeksiyon olan 46 hasta ele alınacak olursa, 1-3 günlük lezyonlarda %75 (15/20),  4-6 günlük lezyonlarda %67 (10/15) ve 7-25 günlük lezyonlarda %73 (8/11) oranında pozitiflik elde edilmişti. Sonuç: Tzanck yaymasında pozitifliğin en çok veziküllerden elde edildiği, ancak püstül ve erozyon gibi öteki lezyonlardan elde edilen pozitifliğin de azımsanamayacağı, üstelik bir vezikülün üç günden uzun sürebileceği görüldü. Bu verilerin ışığında, Tzanck yaymasının daha eski lezyonlarda da yapılmasının tanıya katkı sağlayabileceği gösterilmiştir.

This article aims to show progress and main findings of the study were taken from a research project entitled « The use of electronic evidence in Colombia». Although many aspects of electronic evidence that have been said so far, the idea is to raise a specific position and on the assessment of what is now called the doctrine as electronic evidence. Emphasis is placed on the evaluation of evidence, because it is one of the great myths challenges facing both the academic community and the judges they consider to be outside whatever the process is contained in a novel means, as the mail. We show that the solution is closer than imagined, and that there is another background to understand the sense of procedural law institutions, and differentiate a traditional paper document their special characteristics side of the border of half test to another, as in the case of the expert. lt is part of budgets that have been seen and described as complex, but find solution when separating different aspects that are related to the test, such as legality, authenticity, veracity and efficiency, which in many cases has led to the community to confuse the management that this test should be given in a judicial proceeding.

This article aims without hesitation, genera te a discussion on the issue of the purpose of the process in our country, it has always been a dilemma, if the end of the process is the solution of the conflict or the search for truth to substantiate the decision. Quantitative methodological approach was used, with a type of documentary or bibliographic research, descriptive to procedurally define the concept of truth in the context of social rule of law, to refer to the refined truth that at the time Rene Descartes, defined as the product of reasoning with the construction of syllogisms that do not have any errors. And experimental analyzing judicial congestion from the cultural point of view and what it has meant for the country type, because even though the Judicial Branch is autonomous, in recent years it has seen a production of sentences, which effectively creates a distortion of the judicial function, where the end of the process is the solution of the conflict, regardless of the effective protection of the rights of citizens, making a very skewed axis of our cultural change.

Published: September 2018

Within the complexity of the industrial production strategies, computer aided technologies have been becoming a survival key for company administrators for reducing expenses. Furthermore, new production methods and adaptation of dynamic market requirements force owners to apply computer aided solutions to reduce to production time of goods to the market. Nowadays, prefabricated concrete producers are facing the same problem and trying to apply new solutions to overcome these high costs. In this research, artificial neural networks and traditional glass fiber testing methods were compared to reduce the quality control and assurance processes of prefabricated glass fiber reinforced concrete (GRC) production. 143 different four-point flexural test results of glass fiber reinforced concrete mixes with the varied parameters as temperature, fiber content and slump values were introduced the artificial neural networks models. The proportional limit properties (LOP) of glass fiber reinforced concrete and trained neural network analysis are taken into consideration for comparison. The outcomes of the analysis reflected that there is a strong correlation between the proportional limit of glass fiber reinforced concrete on-site test and the artificial swarm-based optimization algorithm results. Depending on this secure data, on-site test quantities are reduced and checked for cost deduction of traditional test results.

Analysis of Encryption Techniques to Enhance Secure Data Transmission
Authors: Kannan Rajesh , Mala Dr. R.
Published: September 2018

with the rapid increase of technology, the data stored and transmitted among the client and server has been increased tremendously. In order to provide high security for the confidential data, there is a need for proper encryption techniques that are to be followed by the concerns. This paper presents an analysis of the various encryption algorithms and their performance on handling the private data with authentication, access control, secure configuration and data encryption. Document oriented databases such as MongoDB, Cassandra, CouchDB, Redis and Hypertable are compared on the basis of their security aspects since they manipulate the huge amount of unstructured data in their databases. It is proposed that each database has its own security breaches and emphasises the need for proper encryption methods to secure the data stored in them.
Quality Improvement for Neonatal Nurses, Part II: Using a PDSA Quality Improvement Cycle Approach to Implement an Oral Feeding Progression Guideline for Premature Infants
Authors: Marcellus Lenora , Harrison Adele , MacKinnon Kathleen
Published: September 2018

The development of clinical practice guidelines involving multiple health care providers presents a challenge in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Implementation and evaluation of the guideline is as important as the development of the guideline itself. We explored the use of a quality improvement approach in the implementation of a feeding framework. A Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) quality improvement cycle model was used to implement and evaluate a stepwise oral infant feeding guideline with emphasis on parent and care provider satisfaction. Three PDSA cycles were conducted, with each cycle resulting in modifications to use of the framework and development of knowledge translation and parent education techniques and tools. A PDSA cycle approach can be used effectively in guideline implementation and evaluation involving multidisciplinary health care professionals. This is Part II of a two-part series. Part I introduced the concept of quality improvement and tools for advancing practice changes.
Poverty and Homicide in Detroit, 1926-1978
Authors: McDowall David
Published: September 2018

The effect of poverty on crime is a controversial issue, mostly because past research has produced only weak evidence of a relationship between economic hardship and crime rates. A review of the literature suggests, however, that time-series data have not been fully exploited in studies of the poverty-crime relationship. This paper helps fill that gap by presenting a regression equation that links poverty and the homicide rate in Detroit from 1926 to 1978. The equation uses a measure based on the infant mortality rate in order to avoid problems associated with monetary indicators of poverty, and it allows for lagged effects across time. The results strongly support the idea that increases in the level of poverty lead to increases in homicide rates.
