Authors: Rana S. Al-Taweel
Published: January 2020

Septicemia is a serious bloodstream infection; it can quickly become life-threatening.  The current study aimed to isolate and identify the causative agents of septicemia cases with reference to the antibiogram test.  52 blood samples were collected from a number of incomings and those who lie in Hilla general hospital. After incubation and culturing on suitable media, 30 samples gave growth of one or two species of bacteria. A total of 33 bacterial isolates were obtained, most of them (16 isolates) were belong to coagulase-negative Staphylococcus spp., followed by E. coli (6 isolates), Pseudomonas sp. (5 isolates), Streptococcus sp. (2 isolates), and one isolate for each of Staphylococcus aureus,  Streptococcus pneumonia, Acinetobacter sp., and Listeria monocytogenes. When antibiotics sensitivity test was accomplished, most Staphylococcus spp. were sensitive for daptomycin and had high resistance to both of vancomycin and clindamycin, whereas Staphylococcus aureus was sensitive for most the used antibiotics. Half of E. coli isolates were sensitive, while the second half were resistant to the used antibiotics. Imipenem inhibited the growth of all Pseudomonas isolates, whereas 80% of them were resistant to amikacin. The epidemiology of bacteremia is altering with the aging of the population, shifts in healthcare, and progress in medicine, such as increased use of immunosuppressive treatment, intravascular devices, and invasive procedures.

EKSISTENSI PEWARISAN HUKUM ADAT BATAK
Authors: Jayus Jaja Ahmad
Published: January 2020

ABSTRAKHukum terbagi dalam berbagai konfigurasi, seperti hukum positif dan hukum adat. Hukum adat yang lahir dari kebiasaan dalam masyarakat yang menjadi benchmark tidak tertulis dari pergaulan dan tata perilaku dalam masyarakat itu sendiri. Hukum adat menjadi rujukan dan sekaligus salah satu terobosan hakim dalam memeriksa, mengadili, dan memutus perkara. Seperti pada Putusan Pengadilan Negeri Balige Nomor 1/PDT.G/2015/PN.Blg, dan Putusan Tingkat Banding Nomor 439/PDT/2015/PT-Mdn pada Pengadilan Tinggi Medan. Ada dua hal mengapa dua putusan tersebut menarik dilakukan kajian lebih mendalam. Pertama, pewarisan dengan pola parental, di mana kedua belah pihak baik laki-laki dan perempuan memiliki hak waris sama, padahal pewarisan adat Batak mengedepankan pola patrilineal. Kedua, pengakuan adanya perkawinan adat Batak yang bernama "tungkot" dan "imbang," di mana anak-anak yang lahir memiliki hak pewarisan dari harta orang tuanya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif. Kesimpulan dalam kajian ini, baik dalam Putusan Pengadilan Negeri Balige dan Pengadilan Tinggi Medan, mengedepankan keberadaan hukum adat setempat, dalam hal ini adat Batak. Putusan ini tentu saja perlu diapresiasi di tengah perkembangan teknologi dan zaman yang sangat kuat. Meski putusan ini tidak melegitimasi pewarisan patrilineal, namun memberikan teroboson dengan memberikan hak waris yang sama antara laki-laki dan perempuan.Kata kunci: hukum adat, putusan, patrilineal, tungkot. ABSTRACT Law divided into various configurations, such as positive law and customary law. Customary law that was born from the community habits that became benchmarks is unwritten from the sociality and the behavior system in the community itself. Customary law becomes a reference and at the same time is one of the breakthroughs for judges in examining, adjudicating, and deciding cases such as the Balige District Court Decision Number 1/PDT.G/2015/PN.Blg, and Decision on Appeal Level Number 439/PDT/2015/PT-Mdn at the Medan High Court. There are two reasons why these two decisions are interesting to analyze. First, inheritance with a parental pattern, where both parties the men and the women have the same inheritance rights even though the inheritance of the Batak people was prioritizes the patrilineal patterns. Second, the recognition of traditional Batak marriages named "tungkot" and "imbang," where the child that was born has the inheritance rights from the parents' property. This research uses normative juridical research methods. The conclusions in this analyzing, both in the Balige District Court Decision and the Medan High Court was prioritizing the existence of local customary law, in this case, the Batak custom. This decision certainly needs to be appreciated amid technological developments and very strong times although this ruling does not legitimize patrilineal inheritance, it provides a breakthrough by giving equal inheritance rights to a man and a woman. Keywords: customary law, verdict/decision, patrilineal, tungkot.

Opportunities and Challenges of Women’s Participation in Decision-Making at Local Government Administration: The Case of Debre-Tabor City Administration, South Gondar Zone, Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia
Authors: Kebede Agenagn
Published: January 2020

This paper aimed at investigating
opportunities and challenges of women’s participation in decision making as
little attention was given to opportunities and challenges of women’s
participation in decision making at local level. There are few researches
on opportunities and challenges of
women’s participation in decision making
at local level and more focus on opportunities and challenges of women’s
participation in agricultural,
economical, educational and leadership. The purpose of the study is to explore
challenges that women face in their decision making and reflect on the
opportunities that are being undertaken by stake holders and local government.
A qualitative research method utilized in the study to get an in-depth
understanding of the phenomenon. The researcher used case study research design
which helps to deeply study a phenomenon. The researcher then employed thematic
analysis to come up with findings and discussion. Purposive and referral chain
sampling techniques have also been employed in the study. The finding of the
study is based on semi-structured-interviews and Focus Group Discussion (FGD).
Empirical data gathered through interviews and FGD in Debre Tabor City
Administration. The research findings indicated that women faced a number of
constraints to participate in the decision making at a local level. These
constraints were cultural beliefs, illiteracy and low level of education, economic
and financial problems, religion, nature, household activities, negative
perception of the society, men oppression and chauvinism, lack of confidence
and interest among women and weak bureaucracy. Within those challenges, there
were opportunities which enabled and designed to maintain women toward the
decision making participation. Those opportunities were international law and
convention, constitutional and different legal orientation, packages, programmes,
policies and initiatives, different governmental structure of women, education,
training and awareness, preparation of periodical meeting, economic empowerment
and the quota system. The study recommends the creation of an enabling environment
for women’s decision making ability empowerment.

On the application of frequency tagging
Authors: Derzsi Zoltan
Published: January 2020

To detect a weak signal in human electrophysiology that is a response of a periodic external stimulus, spectral evaluation is mostly used. The recorded signal’s amplitude and phase noise components of the signal are statistically independent from each other, but both of them are decreasing the signal-to-noise ratio, which results in a lower probability of successful signal detection. Provided that the phase information of the stimuli is preserved, we found that a way to reject an additional phase noise component, which improves the detection probability considerably, by analysing the signal’s phase coherency instead of its spectrum.
A Systematic Analysis of Basin Effects on Surface Ground Motion
Authors: Ayoubi Peyman , Mohammadi Kami , Asimaki Domniki
Published: January 2020

''Basin effects'' refers to trapped and reverberating earthquake waves in soft sedimentary deposits overlying convex depressions of the basement bedrock, which significantly alter frequency content, amplitude, and duration of seismic waves. This has played an important role on shaking duration and intensity in past earthquakes such as the $M_w$ 8.0 1985 Micho\'acan, Mexico, $M_w$ 6.9 1995 Kobe, Japan, and $M_w$ 7.8 2015 Gorkha, Nepal. Although the phenomenon has been understood and addressed in the literature, it has not been fully incorporated in seismic hazard analysis, and Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPE). In this study, we perform an extensive parametric study on the characteristics of surface ground motion associated with basin effects using finite element simulations. We use an elastic medium subjected to vertically propagating SV plane waves and utilize idealized basin shapes to examine the effects of basin geometry and material properties. We specifically study the effects of four dimensionless parameters, the width-to-depth (aspect) ratio, the rock-to-soil material contrast, a dimensionless frequency that quantifies the depth of the basin relative to the dominant incident wavelength, and a dimensionless distance quantifying distance of the basin edges relative to the dominant wavelength. Our results show that basin effects can be reasonably characterized using at least three independent parameters, each of which can significantly alter the resultant ground motion. To demonstrate the application of dimensional analysis applied here, we investigate the response of the Kathmandu Valley during the 2015 $M_w$ 7.8 Gorkha Earthquake in Nepal using an idealized basin geometry and soil properties. Our results show that a simplified model can capture notable characteristics of the ground motion associated with basin effects which suggests that such studies can provide useful insights, relevant to the parameterization of basin effects in GMPEs and design code provisions.
How Language Shapes Prejudice Against Women: An Examination Across 45 World Languages
Authors: DeFranza David , Mishra Himanshu , Mishra Arul
Published: January 2020

Language provides an ever-present context for our cognitions and has the ability to shape them. Languages across the world can be gendered (language in which the form of noun, verb, or pronoun is presented as female or male) versus genderless. In an ongoing debate, one stream of research suggests that gendered languages are more likely to display gender prejudice than genderless languages. However, another stream of research suggests that language does not have the ability to shape gender prejudice. In this research, we contribute to the debate by using a Natural Language Processing (NLP) method which captures the meaning of a word from the context in which it occurs. Using text data from Wikipedia and the Common Crawl project (which contains text from billions of publicly facing websites) across 45 world languages, covering the majority of the world’s population, we test for gender prejudice in gendered and genderless languages. We find that gender prejudice occurs more in gendered rather than genderless languages. Moreover, we examine whether genderedness of language influences the stereotypic dimensions of warmth and competence utilizing the same NLP method.
Dielectric Phase Transition Behaviour Study of Dry Route Derived (BA0.5 SN0.5) TIO3 Ceramics
Authors: Bhandari Bhojraj , Pokheral Bhadra Prasad
Published: January 2020

Ceramic materials display a wide range of properties that facilitate their use in many different product areas. Currently, there has been keen interest in the field of ceramic materials due to their excellent mechanical and physical properties. Barium Stannate Titanate (BST) is a binary solid solution system composed of ferroelectric Barium titanate and non-ferroelectric barium titanate. In this study, the phase transition behavior of (Ba1-xSnx)TiO3 (x = 0.5) (BST) ceramics  was obtained by the dry-route method. The previous studies were based on Sn 2+ on the Ti site with varying values of x. The powders after calcination are compacted in the form of pellets using a hydraulic press at an optimized load above 70KN. The experimental density of our sample measured by liquid displacement method with glycerin was lower than theoretical density, giving the shape is highly dense with low porosity. The structure shows that on increasing the Sn2+ content volume decreases due to the size of Sn2+, which is smaller than that of Ba2+, in comparison to BaTiO3. As the demand of lead-free environment-friendly sensor is increasing, thus obtained BST has great applications as a sensor material in modern electronic devices.

As a result of recent updating of decay constants and standard ages used for 40Ar/39Ar dating, it is necessary to recalibrate legacy ages obtained with older methods. These recalibrations bring legacy 40Ar/39Ar ages into better agreement with ages obtained using 238U/206Pb dating methods. We present nine recalibrated 40Ar/39Ar ages for the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of the Western Interior, U.S.A., along with the individual geographic and stratigraphic locations for each sample. These recalibrated ages will be useful for researchers looking to place better age constraints on the flora and fauna of the Morrison Formation, as well as for those working to understand stratigraphic relationships across the formation. The recalibrated ages also can now be used reliably for comparisons with newer 238U/206Pb ages obtained for the Morrison Formation.
A computational homogenization analysis of materials using the stabilized mesh-free method based on the radial basis functions

Published: January 2020

This study presents a novel application of mesh-free method using the smoothed-radial basis functions for the computational homogenization analysis of materials. The displacement field corresponding to the scattered nodes within the representative volume element (RVE) is split into two parts including mean term and fluctuation term, and then the fluctuation one is approximated using the integrated radial basis function (iRBF) method. Due to the use of the stabilized conforming nodal integration (SCNI) technique, the strain rate is smoothed at discreted nodes; therefore, all constrains in resulting problems are enforced at nodes directly. Taking advantage of the shape function satisfies Kronecker-delta property, the periodic boundary conditions well-known as the most appropriate procedure for RVE are similarly imposed as in the finite element method. Several numerical examples are investigated to observe the computational aspect of iRBF procedure. The good agreement of the results in comparison with those reported in other studies demonstrates the accuracy and reliability of proposed approach.

A three-dimensional model for rain-wind induced vibration of stay cables in cable-stayed bridges
Authors: Hung Truong Viet , Viet Vu Quang , Anh Vu Quoc
Published: January 2020

In this paper, the effects of wind velocity according to height above the ground on the rain-wind induced vibration (RWIV) of stay cables are investigated. RWIV of the cable is modeled using the linear theory of cable vibration and the central difference algorithm. The wind speed profile according to height above the ground, which affects both aerodynamic forces acting on the cable and the oscillation of the rivulet on the cable surface, is taken into account in the theoretical formulation. The fourth-order method Runge-Kutta is used for solving the system of differential equation of the cable oscillation. The proposed 3D model of the stay cable is then used to assess the effects of wind velocity distribution on cable RWIV. The results obtained in this study showed that in most current cable-stayed bridges, in which the height of pylons is lower than 200 m, the change of wind velocity according to the height above the ground should be included in RWIV analyses.

An experimental study on the structural performance of reinforced concrete low-rise building columns subjected to axial loading
Authors: Dat Pham Xuan , Vu Nguyen Anh
Published: January 2020

It has been commonly recognized by the international research and practice community that the presence of both outer and inner stirrups may significantly enhance the axial load capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) columns. However, there is limited testing evidence to support this conclusion that has been published nationally. This paper reports an experimental programme to study the effectiveness of stirrup detailing on the structural performance of columns having small sectional dimensions that are common in low-rise building structures. Nine column specimens with the same geometrical dimensions of 220 mm x 220 mm x 880 mm in three batches were detailed with different stirrup categories, have been gradually axially loaded to failure. The test data have revealed that although the presence of stirrups can generally enhance the axial load capacity of the column specimens, the enhancing levels are much dependent to the shapes of the stirrups. Selected interesting aspects of the test results have also been discussed, which set a concrete base for recommendations for design and detailing of such vertical structural elements.

Keywords:

experimental investigation; low-rise building columns; axial load capacity; stirrups.
Optimal parameters of tuned mass dampers for machine shaft using the maximum equivalent viscous resistance method
Authors: Chinh Nguyen Duy
Published: January 2020

The paper analyzes and determines the optimal parameters of tuned mass damper to reduce torsional vibration for the machine shaft. The research steps are as follows. First, the optimal parameters of tuned mass damper for the shafts are given by using the maximization of equivalent viscous resistance method. Second, a numerical simulation is performed for configuration of machine shaft to validate the effectiveness of the obtained analytical results. The simulation results indicate that the proposed method significantly increases the effectiveness of torsional vibration reduction. Optimal parameters include the ratio between natural frequency of tuned mass damper and the machine shaft, the ratio of the viscous coefficient of tuned mass damper. The optimal parameters found by numerical method only apply to a machine shaft with specific data. However, the optimal parameters in this paper are found as analytic and explicit to help scientists easily apply to every machine shafts when the input parameters of the machine shaft change.

Keywords:

tuned mass damper; torsional vibration; optimal parameters; random excitation; equivalent viscous resistance.

Published: January 2020

La tricodisplasia espinulosa es una patología viral infrecuente causada por un tipo de poliomavirus, el cual se da siempre en contexto de inmunosupresión. Existen reportes que estiman la seroprevalencia en adultos de 70%, y hasta 90% en inmunocomprometidos. El cuadro clínico se caracteriza por pápulas color piel hiperqueratósicas en zonas centro faciales, orejas y tronco, asintomáticas o con prurito escaso. Existen métodos de confirmación diagnóstica como PCR o test de Elisa, no disponibles en Chile. Por tanto, en nuestro contexto el estudio histopatológico es fundamental dado hallazgos de biopsia son característicos. El manejo debe siempre considerar, de ser posible, disminuir la inmunosupresión del paciente. Otras medidas consisten en extracción manual y cidofovir o valganciclovir tópico.

Published: January 2020

İlköğretimde, öğrenilen bilgiler okul yaşamı için gerekli köşetaşı
bilgileri içerir. İlköğretimde öğrenilmesi gereken konulardan bir kısmı ise
coğrafya alanındadır. İlköğretimde özellikle Sosyal Bilgiler, Hayat Bilgisi ve
Fen Bilimleri ders programlarında coğrafya konularına yer verilmiştir. Bununla
birlikte seçmeli derslerden olan Şehrimiz dersi de coğrafya konularından
oluşmaktadır. Coğrafya konularının ilköğretim düzeyinde okullarda okutulması
yoğun şekilde cumhuriyetten sonra olsa da Osmanlı devleti zamanında coğrafya
konuları ders müfredatlarında yer almıştır. Günümüze kadar ilköğretim
programları birçok kez değişime uğramış, bununla birlikte coğrafya konularının
programlardaki içerikleri de yenilenmiş ve güncellenmiştir. Diğer yönden 2018
ilköğretim programlarındaki coğrafya konuları incelendiğinde daha önce
hazırlanmış programlarla birçok yönden benzerliği olduğu görülmektedir.
Konuların öğretiminde, ders öğretmenlerinin çok yönlü olması ve ezbercilikten
uzak durması önemlidir. Çalışmanın temel amacı 2018 yılı ilköğretim ders
programlarında yer alan coğrafya eğitimi ile ilgili durumu incelemek ve analiz
etmektir. Çalışmada esas olarak nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman
incelemesi kullanılmıştır. Bu çerçevede 2018 yılında MEB tarafından
hazırlanmış olan, öğretim programları incelenmiştir. Ayrıca daha önceki yıllara
ait öğretim programları ve konu ile ilgili literatür gözden geçirilmiştir. Çalışmada
Sosyal Bilgiler, Hayat Bilgisi, Şehrimiz ve Fen Bilimleri ders programlarındaki
coğrafya konuları esas alınmıştır. Sonuç olarak İlköğretimde, coğrafya konuları
farklı dersler içinde yer serpilmiştir. Özellikle Fen Bilimleri programı yoğun
bir coğrafya içeriğine sahiptir. Bütün bunlardan dolayı, bir öneri olarak,
ilköğretim programları sürekli yenilenmeye devam edilmedir. Dünyadaki
ilköğretim programları ve coğrafya alanındaki gelişmeler sürekli takip edilerek
güncel bir coğrafi içeriğin olmasına özen gösterilmelidir.
