Published: November 2019

ABSTRACT
Abdominal lymphangiectasia is a rare disease manifestation with a variety of anatomic locations and clinical presentations. The gastrointestinal tract may be affected, and lymphangiectasia originating in the wall of the intestine has rarely been described. We present a case of primary small bowel lymphangiectasia causing intussusception in a 30-year-old woman who presented with emesis and gastrointestinal bleeding. This case emphasizes the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management in adults with abdominal lymphangiectasia. We highlight the importance of a high clinical suspicion for lymphangiectasia in an adult with acute abdomen to avoid catastrophic morbidity.

Published: November 2019

ABSTRACT
Atrioesophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare complication of atrial fibrillation ablation. We present a man with sepsis and frank hematemesis 3 weeks after atrial fibrillation ablation. Thoracic computed tomography showed no definitive evidence of AEF. He underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy and subsequently developed an embolic stroke. In the operating room, he was found to have AEF. This case highlights the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for AEF because of its nonspecific presentation and difficulty in diagnosing with imaging or endoscopy. Once AEF is suspected, esophagogastroduodenoscopy should be avoided because of the risk of precipitating embolic events.

Published: November 2019

OBJECTIVES:
Patient-reported outcomes such as quality of life are gaining importance in the assessment of patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The association of objectively measured physical activity and quality of life in patients with IBD has not been studied in depth. To investigate the association of disease-specific quality of life and physical activity as well as clinical and biochemical disease activity in patients with IBD.

METHODS:
A total of 91 patients with IBD were stratified into 4 groups (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, in remission and with moderate-severe activity, respectively) and evaluated in terms of disease-specific quality of life (Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire [IBDQ]), physical activity (accelerometry), body composition (bioelectrical impedance analysis), as well as clinical (Harvey-Bradshaw Index and Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index) and biochemical (C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin) parameters of disease activity.

RESULTS:
In patients with moderate-severe disease activity, the IBDQ was significantly lower as compared to patients in remission (Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test, P < 0.001). The physical activity level was higher in remission than in active disease (Mann-Whitney U test, P < 0.05). The IBDQ was significantly correlated with the duration of strenuous physical activity per day (P = 0.029178, r = 0.235), skeletal muscle mass (P = 0.033829, r = 0.229), and biomarkers of inflammation (C-reactive protein: P < 0.005, r = −0.335 and fecal calprotectin: P < 0.005, r = −0.385).

DISCUSSION:
In this prospective, cross-sectional study, disease-specific quality of life was significantly associated with accelerometrically determined physical activity and disease activity in patients with IBD. This may be related to a reciprocal impact of these factors (DRKS00011370).
RESEPSI ESTETIS QUR’ANI DALAM MUSIK ROCK SHOLAWAT ROFA BAND DI BANTUL YOGYAKARTA
Authors: Khosim Mochamad 
Published: November 2019

A Muslim’s interaction with the Quran directly both verbally, in writing, and with the form of practice results in different experiences arising in each individual. The process which then gave birth to traditions and various kinds of receptions on understanding the meaning of the verses of the Quran. From this phenomenon the author tries to examine the aesthetic reception of a Kyai in Islamic boarding school Rouḍotul Fatiḥâh on the art of music in a music community called the Rofa Band. To find out the background of the creation of the Rofa Band and the meaning of the songs delivered. Also tried to reveal from the aspect of how scientific transmission and transformation carried out by KH. Fuad Riyadi related it to the reception of the Quran verses in the practice of Rofa Band. As a theoretical basis, researchers use a theory conceived by Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann which states that social construction is inseparable from the historical process that connects traditional spaces. The results of the research by the author show that the reason for the formation of Rofa Band by Gus Fuad was motivated by Gus Fuad’s anxiety about the rise of the influence of Western music for the community, secondly, encouragement from one of his teachers, and third, Gus Fuad’s desire to convey the message of the Prophet’s love through the art of music. The meaning of the Rofa Band songs that Gus Fuad wants to convey the magnitude of the love and love of the Apostle to his people.

Analisis data angin dilakukan untuk meramalkan dan menentukan karakteristik gelombang laut di perairan Pulau Natuna. Data angin yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini berasal dari National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) selama 10 tahun dari tahun 2009 sampai dengan tahun 2018. Metoda yang digunakan untuk estimasi tinggi, periode dan arah gelombang laut yang dibangkitkan oleh angin adalah metode Svedrup, Munk dan Bretschneider (SMB). Hasil perhitungan peramalan karakteristik gelombang diperoleh bahwa pembentukan gelombang didominasi oleh arah yang berasal dari timur laut dan terjadi pada musim barat dan musim peralihan 1. Adapun pada musim timur dan peralihan, arah dominan gelombang masing-masing berasal dari selatan dan barat daya. Tinggi gelombang maksimum 1,0-1,4 m sering terjadi pada musim musim timur, adapun tinggi gelombang minimum 0,2-0,6 m dominan terjadi pada musim musim peralihan. Periode gelombang dominan ditemukan pada kisaran 7-9 detik yang terjadi pada tiap musim. The analysis of wind data has been done to forecast and determine the characteristic of the ocean wave in Natuna Island waters. The wind data in this study came from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) for a period of 10 years from 2009 to 2018. The method to estimate wave height, wave period, and wave direction generated by wind is Sverdrup, Munk dan Bretschneider (SMB) system. The results of wave forecasting analysis show that the formation of the wave is mainly originated from the northeast which occurs during the west and first transition season. As for the east and second transition season, the origin of wave formation coming from the south and southwest, respectively. The maximum wave height of 1.0-1.4 m frequently occurs during the east monsoon, while the minimum wave height. The dominant wave period is found in the range of 7-9 seconds, which occurs in every season.
Elements of Education
Authors: Atkins Peter 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The periodic table was born in chemical education and thrives there still. Mendeleev was inspired to create his primitive but pregnant table in order to provide a framework for the textbook of chemistry that he was planning, and it has remained at the heart of chemical education ever since. It could be argued that the education of a chemist would be almost impossible without the table; at least, chemistry would remain a disorganized heap of disconnected facts. Thanks to Mendeleev and his successors, by virtue of the periodic table, chemical education became a rational discussion of the properties and transformations of matter. I suspect that the educational role of the periodic table is its most important role, for few research chemists begin their day (I suspect) by gazing at the table and hoping for inspiration, but just about every chemistry educator uses it as a pivot for their presentation.
Elements of Heroism

Abstract
In today’s periodic table, 118 elements stand side by side, neatly arranged in rows and columns, mapping out their relative size, proudly sharing their family’s traits, and showcasing their relative reactivity and predicted behaviour in different situations. Back in 1869 when Dmitri Mendeleev devised the arrangement of elements we use to this day, there were notable gaps left for elements that had not yet been discovered. As the arrangement of the elements was based on a range of physical and chemical properties, it was easy to predict some of the properties of the missing elements. It was in these gaps that both scientists and artists alike dared to dream about elemental discoveries with both predicted and unpredicted properties. Comic book and science fiction writers in particular had fun postulating some of the possible elements that would give their superheroes the characteristics they required to carry out their tasks. They created fictional elements in place of some of the as yet undiscovered elements, many of which now share properties with elements that exist today.

Published: November 2019

AbstractIn this paper, a millimeter-sized temporary plugging agent particles based on polyacrylamide were synthesized by combining microfluidics technology with consolidation mechanism of suspension polymerization, which using W/O emulsion template and with droplet as micro-reaction vessel. The effect of various variables on the gel particle properties was studied so as to determine the best proportion and optimize the preparation process. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Digital imaging and SEM were used to characterize the composition and morphology of the PAM gel particle. The results indicated that the obtained PAM gel particle has regular shape and good transparency. And it is concluded that when the molar ratio of acrylic acid (AA) and acrylamie (AM) monomers is 5:5, w(K2S2O8) = 0.8%, w(Al(NO3)3) = 1.0%, neutralization degree was 60%, the prepared PAM gel particles has the best performance. The preparation process is simple while the cost is low, so it could be used as a promising temporary plugging agent in future.
Dynamics of asymmetric star polymers under coarse grain simulations
Authors: Fan Linli , Liu Li 
Published: November 2019

AbstractThe asymmetric star polymers are studied by coarse grain simulations. Each polymer chain is represented by number of consecutive soft blobs and additional uncrossability constraints are added to prevent chain crossings. In this work two types of asymmetric star polymers with different backbone lengths are structured. Their dynamical properties are discussed by comparisons with corresponding linear chains, the one covers chain length along with the asymmetric arm through the branch point to one of the symmetric arm, or the backbone chain between two symmetric arm ends, or the largest linear possesses the same molecular weight of the entire star. To reveal the influence of the asymmetric arm length on their relaxation decay times, the autocorrelation function of the vectors from each branching point to corresponding asymmetric arm end are calculated, results are compared with the symmetric star having the same backbone chain.

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this article is to provide a practical framework for athletic administrators and senior coaches to use in evaluating a strength and conditioning coach (SCC) under their supervision. A formal objective evaluation process may improve training outcomes, prevent common troublesome issues in the field, increase accountability, and optimize organizational dynamics. Recommendations include planned, systematic, and documented observation of work performed, review of performance testing data, and developmental feedback meetings between the SCC and the supervisor. Some modification may be necessary for each sector of the field. However, the general themes may still be followed by supervisors.

AbstractThe role of neuroinflammation in the mechanisms of epilepsy development is important because inflammatory mediators provide tractable targets for intervention. Inflammation is intrinsically involved in the generation of childhood febrile seizures (FSs), and prolonged FS [febrile status epilepticus (FSE)] precedes a large proportion of adult cases of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). As TLE is often refractory to therapy and is associated with serious cognitive and emotional problems, we investigated whether its development can be prevented using anti-inflammatory strategies. Using an immature rat model of FSE [experimental FSE (eFSE)], we administered dexamethasone (DEX), a broad anti-inflammatory agent, over 3 d following eFSE. We assessed eFSE-provoked hippocampal network hyperexcitability by quantifying the presence, frequency, and duration of hippocampal spike series, as these precede and herald the development of TLE-like epilepsy. We tested whether eFSE provoked hippocampal microgliosis, astrocytosis, and proinflammatory cytokine production in male and female rats and investigated blood–brain barrier (BBB) breaches as a potential contributor. We then evaluated whether DEX attenuated these eFSE sequelae. Spike series were not observed in control rats given vehicle or DEX, but occurred in 41.6% of eFSE-vehicle rats, associated with BBB leakage and elevated hippocampal cytokines. eFSE did not induce astrocytosis or microgliosis but provoked BBB disruption in 60% of animals. DEX significantly reduced spike series prevalence (to 7.6%) and frequency, and abrogated eFSE-induced cytokine production and BBB leakage (to 20%). These findings suggest that a short, postinsult intervention with a clinically available anti-inflammatory agent potently attenuates epilepsy-predicting hippocampal hyperexcitability, potentially by minimizing BBB disruption and related neuroinflammation.
From language standards to a Standard Language: The case of Modern Greek
Authors: Moschonas Spiros A. 
Published: November 2019

This study looks for changes in a standard variety through changes in that variety’s standards. It concentrates on the continuing process of the standardization of Modern Greek and it discusses: a) an inaugural change in status planning involving the shift from Jannis Psycharis’s codification of Modern Greek to a more “permissive” codification by Manolis Triantaphyllidis; b) the propagation of linguistic standards on a mass scale through the print and electronic media after the resolution of the “Greek Language Question”; c) the process of “de-ideologization” or “naturalization” of the established norms; d) a relatively recent instance of stylization of a certain highly prescribed variant (nasalization of voiced stops), which possibly marks a new phase in the standardization process.
The four cases of changing standards are discussed under a performative theory of standardization. A corpus-driven approach is employed that concentrates on correctives (metalinguistic speech acts of the type: “one should neither say nor write X; instead, one should say or write Y”) and permissives (“one may say or write either X or Y provided that C”). Such triplets are located in texts that prescribe on language usage. A variety of such texts is taken into consideration: institutional Grammars, advice columns in the Greek newspapers, relevant radio and television broadcasts, Style Guides addressed both to the general public and to the media professionals.
It is shown that correctives and/or permissives form repertories that change over time. Such changes in language standards account for changes in the standard language. According to the performative theory, standard languages are subject to restandardization as language standards are subject to redefinition. The changes in corrective repertories bear testimony to a process of a continuing standardization of Modern Greek. This process is shown to be mediated, i.e. it has affected and has been affected by prescriptive practices in the print and electronic media.
Translanguaging strategies in describing the bi(multi)lingual profile of the novel Moarte în ținutul secuilor by Caius Dobrescu
Authors: Tódor Erika-Mária 
Published: November 2019

The present paper focuses on two concepts of neighbouring disciplines within literary studies (translanguaging and character profiling), following how a linguistic approach emerges in the context of literature.
Translanguaging communication situations are typical for a bi- or multilingual linguistic behaviour and they result from a holistic approach to the speaker’s linguistic repertoire. The concept refers to the speaker’s complex and dynamic way of expression, which activates the linguistic resources most appropriate for the given context, exceeding the limits of the spoken languages. Analysing the ways of meaning creation in the case of the said novel, the paper will attempt to see how a certain linguistic phenomenon is activated by the art of the word as a means of character profiling and creating local colour. The heuristic approach of the investigation, once the key concepts have been explained, will trace the main forms of the creation of the translanguaging space, based on the analysis of the works written after the novel in question.
Cleanroom Fan Energy Reduction—Airflow Control Retrofit Based on Continuous, Real-time Particle Sensing
Authors: Sun Wei 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Cleanrooms are utilized in electronics, semiconductor, aerospace, pharmaceutical, automotive, optical, medical device, and food processing facilities where air cleanliness is required to prevent defects in high-tech or high-value products. Compared to general commercial space, cleanrooms typically use 5 to 50 times the energy for the same area. One key reason is the high volume of conditioned and filtered air required to make the room air cleaner, which is measured in room-average particle concentration.
The technology in this study uses real-time continuous particle sensors as feedback signals to automatically adjust fan speed. The system can modulate fan speed and provide the correct amount of airflow into the cleanroom to prevent over-supply and save energy. In typical manufacturing cleanrooms, the unoccupied state (evenings and weekends) is approximately two times longer than the occupied state (operational work hours), and particle generation (from personnel, equipment, and process) is much lower during the unoccupied state. Limited components and parts are required to apply the technology in this study into the design of a new cleanroom or to integrate the technology into existing cleanroom fan systems.
Estimation of Minimum Sonic Fatigue Life of Steel Beam and Plate Structures
Authors: Ungar Eric E. 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Structures such as those of engine test cells or wind tunnels may be exposed to intense sound for extended periods and should be designed to ensure they are not prone to premature fatigue failure. This paper presents an approach to determining a lower bound to the fatigue life of structural components exposed to complex sound fields, enabling relatively simple evaluation of candidate structural designs. The presented approach is based on established characterizations of the fatigue behaviors of typical steels and relies on classical analytical results that relate the greatest stresses induced in simple structural elements to oscillatory pressure distributions acting on these elements. Practical application of this approach is discussed, as well as the limitations of the approach.
