CORRELATION BETWEEN TIME TO POSITIVITY BLOOD CULTURE AND PROCALCITONIN ON BACTEREMIA PATIENT
Authors: Samosir Nelly Elfrida , Loesnihari Ricke , Aman Adi Koesoema 
Published: October 2019

IntroductionBacteremia causes a high mortality rate. Detection of bacteremia is needed as quickly as possible. The gold standard for bacteremia is blood culture which takes between 24-48 hours. Procalcitonin (PCT) is a marker of infection that is caused by bacteria that can be detected quickly in 2-6 hours. Time to positivity (TTP) blood culture is affected by the initial amount of bacteria and the addition of procalcitonin stimulated by bacteria that causes bacteremia where short TTP and high PCT show bad clinical conditions. Materials and MethodsAnalitical cross sectional research on patients with bacteremia. Fourty six bacteremia cases become the sample of research. Time to Positivity is calculated with Bactec 9050 and Procalcitonin is analyzed with mini VIDAS B.R.A.H.M.S. Examination is conducted in Department of Clinical Pathology FK-USU/ Installation of Clinical Pathology of RSUP H. Adam Malik, Medan, June – October 2016. ResultsThere was significant correlation between Time to Positivity blood culture and procalcitonin on bacteremia patients (p<0.05). There was no significant correlation between Time to Positivity and procalcitonin on bacteremia which was caused by gram-positive bacteria or gram-negative bacteria (p>0.05). Procalcitonin was significantly higher on bacteremia which was caused by gram-negative bacteria compared to gram-positive bacteria (p<0.05). ConclusionThere was significant correlation between Time to Positivity blood culture and procalcitonin on bacteremia patients. Significantly higher levels of procalcitonin in cases of bacteremia are more likely to be caused by Gram-negative bacteria than Gram-positive bacteria

Veterans and Grannies. The Polyphony of Memory in Two Hungarian Documentary Films
Authors: Sárközy Réka 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
The essay analyses the representation of polyphonic memory in two groundbreaking Hungarian documentary films, made thirty years apart: János and Gyula Gulyás’s I was at the Isonzo, too (Én is jártam Isonzónál, 1984–87) and Bálint Révész’s Granny Project (Nagyi projekt, 2017). The earlier film was made in the 1980s, under the state-socialist system, when doing memory work of both World Wars was limited, if not forbidden. The second film was made recently, in 2017. They differ from each other in many ways, but instinctively they chose the same solution for representing and working out traumas: through transnational dialogue. They focus on traumatic experiences of the past, changing national, so-called monologic memory into a broad perspective, putting Aleida Assmann’s (2005) theory of dialogic memory into practice.1
Shakespeare and the Accumulation of Cultural Prestige in Video Games
Authors: Nae Andrei 
Published: October 2019

AbstractThe present article analyses the manner in which AAA action-adventure games adapt, quote, and reference Shakespeare’s plays in order to borrow the bard’s cultural capital and assert themselves as forms of art. My analysis focuses on three major releases:Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots,BioShock: Infinite, andGod of War. The article shows that these games employ narrative content from Shakespeare’s plays in order to adopt traits traditionally associated with the established arts, such as narrative depth and complex characters. In addition to this, explicit intertextual links between the games’ respective storyworlds and the plays are offered as ludic rewards for the more involved players who thoroughly explore game space.1

Abstract
This paper will present the role of the loops and the peculiarities of the mixed reality experience in the case of the performance of Illegitimate (stage adaptation by Adrian Sitaru, based on an original text by Adrian Sitaru and Alina Grigore). The author argues that the loops, defined by Manovich as “a new narrative form appropriate for the computer age” are also the key for the possible reality switches and joinings.
Sending Shivers Down the Spine. VR Productions as Seamed Media
Authors: Bakk Ágnes Karolina 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
According to Rebecca Rouse’s concept of “media of attraction” (2016), the mediums of virtual reality have four characteristics: they are participatory, interdisciplinary, unassimilated and seamed. The author’s hypothesis is that even though 360-degree films and virtual reality experiences as seamed mediums are remediating the medium of film, they have the characteristics of the medium of live performance. She points out that the characteristics of performance art based on Fischer-Lichte’s taxonomy (2008), such as liveness and co-presence, are influencing the development of 360-degree films and virtual reality experiences. As an argument, she analyses three virtual reality productions created by performing artists, which operate with the specificity of intermediality and the longing for immersion, the main characteristic of virtual reality. These productions lean on the immediacy characteristics of the medium of film and performance by using cut-scenes, linear narratives, live streaming, but also by including the “human interface,” i.e., the actor, who ensures a higher level of absorption.1

Published: October 2019

Abstract
The integration of meteorological and tropospheric data is extremely important in precise monitoring of the atmosphere condition over a selected aerodrome. The paper presents the results of troposphere monitoring over the military aerodrome EPDE in Dęblin in Lubelskie Voivodeship in Poland. The three sources of meteorological data were applied for troposphere monitoring, namely: GNSS satellite technique, SYNOP data, TAF data. The troposphere empirical models within the GNSS satellite technique were utilized in the designation of the meteorological parameters, e. g. temperature, pressure and relative humidity. In paper, the meteorological parameters were estimated using three deterministic model, e.g.: SA model, RTCA-MOPS model and also GPT model.

Published: October 2019

Abstract
Analysis of Gdańsk tram network statistics shows that incidents are quite frequent (about 650 within five years) and mostly involve collisions and crashes. As well as reducing the tram systems’ efficiency and reliability, incidents have a negative effect on road safety. As Polish cities extend their tram networks, they must also ensure that their existing networks are safe. This is to be achieved by conducting safety assessments. The article presents different assessment methods, at different stages of tram infrastructure lifecycle, providing a basis for a comprehensive diagnosis and recommendations for improvement. The objective of the study was to conduct a comprehensive safety assessment and analysis of the existing and planned tram network across Gdańsk, using different study methods and tools.
Assessing the Effects of the Road Surface and Weather Conditions on Road Safety
Authors: Budzyński Marcin , Tubis Agnieszka 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
When transport is analysed for its safe delivery the focus is mainly on assessing the safety of roads and the risk of undesired events. These include road accidents, an occurrence which is relatively rare and random. Randomness means that accidents depend on several factors which are partly deterministic and partly. The authors conducted an assessment of how weather conditions affect the risk of an accident due to the factor’s significant contribution to road accidents. This case involves a combination of two sources of hazard: external conditions in the form of the weather which are beyond the driver’s control and anthropotechnical factors that address vehicle condition and driver behaviour controlled by the driver.

Bayesian Inference in the Analysis of the Failure Risk of the Water Supply Network
Authors: Tchórzewska-Cieślak Barbara , Rak Janusz R. , Szpak Dawid 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
One of the basic subsystems of the collective water supply system is the water distribution subsystem which has a direct impact on the reliability and safety of water supply to consumers. Failures of water pipes may cause water losses (leaks), interruptions in the water supply to consumers and can be the cause of secondary water pollution in the water supply network. It was proposed to use Bayesian inference to locate failures on the water supply network and to determine a posteriori probability of water network failure. It was found that the conditional probability of distribution water supply network failure is definitely higher than the conditional probability of home connections failure. The research results should be used by the water supply company during the development of an operational strategy for the renovation and modernization of the water supply network.

Modelling of Rock Joints Interface under Cyclic Loading
Authors: Maciejewski Jan , Bąk Sebastian , Ciężkowski Paweł 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
The problem of numerical simulation of the material interface response under monotonic and cyclic loading is of fundamental scientific and engineering importance. In fact, such interfaces occur in most engineering and geotechnical structures. The present work is devoted to the deformational response analysis of contact interfaces under monotonic and cyclic loads. The class of materials includes rock and structural joints, soil structure interfaces, masonry and cementitious joints, localized shear bands and so on.
The aim of the proposed model is to simulate the cyclic shear test under constant normal load. The associated dilatancy effect is associated with the configurational effects of asperity interaction or dilatancy of wear debris layer. The large primary asperities are assumed as responsible for interfacial dilation and small size asperities as governing frictional sliding and hysteresis response. The elliptic loading yield function is assumed to translate and rotate during progressive or reverse loading events. The model formulation is discussed and confronted with experimental data.

Published: October 2019

AbstractThe study aim was to determine which teaching methods are most effective for developing the students’ appropriate professional competencies in the culinary arts programs of Cyprus’ Senior Secondary Vocational Education (SSVE). A qualitative case study research design was considered appropriate and a criterion sampling strategy was used to select 52 participants. Findings showed that chef instructors prefer to use a combination of teaching methods by considering class dynamics and students’ personal learning style. Students learn primarily by doing and repetition and a two-day sequel laboratory could become an effective in-class activity. The positive impact of modern audio-visual means was identified as a factor, stimulating students’ learning appetite. Thus, a competitive learning environment is needed to boost class performance. However, the written examination assessment calls for change due to basic student issues and new approaches, means, and techniques that should be used for the final assessment of the SSVE students.

The potential of natural resources owned by Indonesia need to be processed in order to make a significant contribution to the economy of the country which ultimately intended for the welfare of the people. One of the natural resources that have economic value that is large enough is mineral resources and coal, but without the management of the potential of natural resources will not mean anything. Dynamics faced by Indonesia as a developing country, faced with a number of internal problems including the limitations of technology, sources of funds and human resources. These things are the constraints in the management and utilization of natural resources by the state. To overcome these obstacles, the Indonesian government to cooperate with investors in the management of existing natural resources contained in a concept of cooperation known as Contract of Work. The development that occurs in Mining Law the existence of divestment obligations as a requirement in a Contract of Work.
