Authors: Chappell Logan , Brown Stephen A. , Wensel Terri M. 
Published: November 2020

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus and gastroesophageal reflux disease are highly prevalent in the United States. First-line therapies for these disease states include metformin and proton pump inhibitors, respectively. Both of these medications have been associated with a decreased absorption of vitamin B12.
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of B12 monitoring and supplementation in patients receiving concomitant metformin and PPI therapy.
Methods: A retrospective data analysis was performed at a single federally qualified health center. Patients receiving concomitant metformin and PPI therapy (specifically omeprazole and pantoprazole) over the past year were included. Data collected included demographics, dosing, therapy duration, and vitamin B12 level. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
Results: A total of 104 patients met the inclusion criteria for this study. Metformin 1000 mg immediate release tablets was the most common dose and formulation prescribed. Omeprazole and pantoprazole were the most commonly prescribed PPIs. The most frequent duration of therapy was 1 to 4 years. Fourteen patients had a documented B12 level and no patients were categorized as deficient. Seven patients were prescribed a B12 supplement during the study period.
Conclusion: In this single center, retrospective chart review of patients receiving concomitant metformin and PPI therapy, the average duration of therapy for both agents was 1-4 years. Only 13.5% of patients had a documented B12 level. Of those patients, none were categorized as deficient. Though routine monitoring of B12 levels may be important for patients on long-term therapy with both agents or who present with symptoms of B12 deficiency, this study does not support routine monitoring of B12 levels for patients with duration of therapy of 4 years or less.

Published: November 2020

In the present study, an effort has been made to investigate the level of organizational commitment in police personnel. A 3×2 factorial design with three levels of job hierarchy (i.e., officers, sub inspectors & constables) and two levels of job tenure (i.e., short job tenure & long job tenure) was used. A total of 240 police employees were randomly selected from various police stations of Eastern U.P. Organizational commitment scale (Allen & Meyer, 1990) was used to determine the level of organizational commitment in employees.

Results revealed that the extent of organizational commitment varied significantly in various group of police employees. Affective commitment was found greater in officers than sub – inspectors and constables respectively .Whereas, normative commitment was found greater in officers and sub-inspectors as compared to constables. Long job tenure group reported high level of normative commitment as compared to short job tenure group .Overall organizational commitment was found maximum in officers as compared to sub-inspectors and constables. Long job tenure group reported high level of overall commitment as compared to short job tenure group. Interaction effects of job hierarchy and job tenure on normative and overall organizational commitment were also found. Results have been discussed in the light of individual and organizational factors.

O ozônio (O3) representa menos de 1% dos gases da atmosfera terrestre, entretanto, é indispensável para a vida na Terra, devido sua influência no balanço energético do planeta filtrando a Radiação Ultravioleta (RUV) do tipo UV-B, nociva à saúde. O objetivo geral deste trabalho é investigar o impacto da coluna total de ozônio sobre a variabilidade da RUV na América do Sul, utilizando dados diários de RUV e Coluna Total de Ozônio (CTO) do sensor Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) da Aura/NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). Na análise mensal, o valor médio da coluna total de ozônio para o decênio de 2005 a 2014 apresentou uma maior variabilidade no trimestre SON na região da América do Sul. A Análise de Componentes Principais mostrou que nos meses JJA e SON apresenta-se uma correlação direta entre CTO e RUV. As análises dos casos estudados comprovaram que apenas os baixos níveis de ozônio não são determinantes para os altos valores de RUV. Os meses entre julho e outubro apresentam grandes áreas no da América do Sul com forte correlação inversa apresentando regiões estatisticamente significantes. Os resultados exprimem a relação entre a CTO e RUV que dependente da sazonalidade nas diferentes regiões, entre outros fatores.

Published: November 2020

The presented study aims at the development of an approach, which will enable selection of optimal measures for mitigation of water stress. The approach is based on two software pillars – Water Evaluation and Planning System (WEAP) and MatLab, which are applied in combination. The approach has three main steps: 1) modeling of the river basin with WEAP software 2) selecting mitigation measures and preparation of intervention curves and 3) running of an optimization using MatLab to select the mitigation measures. The set of the applied mitigation measures includes: reducing urban water demand and supply, reducing water demand for irrigation, and rehabilitation of the irrigation system. The result of the performed optimization with objectives set as minimal investment and water abstraction shows that in the Vit River basin the best combination of mitigation measures are a change in irrigation practice as well as reducing leakage in the irrigation distribution network and in the municipal distribution network. The optimization results show that 36% of the abstracted water could be saved if 2.1 million EUR were invested. The approach which was developed and applied in this work proved its suitability for facilitating decision making for water stress management at a river basin level.

Seismic Monitoring System of Baixo Sabor and Feiticeiro Dams
Authors: Monteiro Gilberto Silva , Neves Jorge Pacheco , Gomes Jorge Pereira 
Published: November 2020

In the last decade Portugal made a significant set of investments in new hydroelectric projects. According the Portuguese Dam Safety Regulation and Supporting Technical Documents, and the seismic risk for the regions where the dams were built, several seismic monitoring systems were implemented. One of the most important projects was the Baixo Sabor hydroelectric scheme which includes two large dams, namely the Baixo Sabor and Feiticeiro dams. These dams are located at northeast of Portugal and are very close to a major geological fault that crosses the Portuguese territory. Considering the seismic risk of the dam’s construction area, a seismic monitoring system was provided. That system incorporates stations in the dam’s galleries and remote stations along the reservoirs to detect eventual induced reservoir seismicity. This system has been in continuous operation and the data of the recorded earthquakes records has been analyzed and processed. This paper presents some aspects of the Portuguese legislation, refers the main studies that were used, presents a brief description of the regional Baixo Sabor geological and tectonic settings, describes the main features of the seismic monitoring system and presents some of the main results obtained during the first period of operation of the dams.

Appraisal of Bearing Capacity and Modulus of Subgrade Reaction of Refilled Soils
Authors: Arshid Muhammad Usman , Kamal M. A. 
Published: November 2020

Soil is remoulded, replaced, or improved in place to meet the required engineering properties. Relative compaction is the measure of the resulting engineering improvement. But design engineers need the allowable bearing capacity while the modulus of subgrade reaction is the primary input of modern foundation design software. The current research appraised a correlation between Relative Compaction ( ), Moisture Content ( ), and allowable bearing capacity ( ) and another correlation between , RC, MC, and modulus of subgrade reaction ( ). The test samples were extracted from each trial of the standard proctor test using purpose-built extraction tubes. Allowable bearing capacity has been determined by performing unconfined compression tests on the extracted tubes. The relationships have been established employing statistical analysis. It was noticed that soil samples at the lower moisture content (6-9%) show brittle failure before reaching the allowable strain. The soil samples having a moisture content of 10-14% exhibited shear failure, nearly simultaneous to the allowable strain. The soil samples having higher moisture content undergone a strain of 15% without showing the shear failure. A simple equation has also been appraised to determined Ks involving the three-input variable, i.e., , , and . Moderate correlations have been found to exist between the studied parameters, owing to some other variables' influence. Recommendations for future studies have been drawn to quantify the effect of identified parameters. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2020-03091606 Full Text: PDF

Authors: Allawi Abbas A. , Ali Safaa I. 
Published: November 2020

In this study, the effect of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) section and compressive strength of concrete in composite beams under static and low velocity impact loads was examined. Modeling was performed and the obtained results were compared with the test results and their compatibility was evaluated.‎ Experimental tests of four composite beams were carried out, where two of them are control specimen with 20 MPa compressive strength of concrete deck slab and 50 MPa for other. Bending characteristics were affected by the strength of concrete under impact loading case, as it increased maximum impact force and damping time at a ratio of 59% and reduced the damping ratio by 47% compared to the reference hybrid beam. Under static loading, there was an increase in all the parameters, including the maximum load, ductility, and stiffness. Mid-span deflection was reduced by 25% under static and impact loads. A finite element analysis was performed by using the ABAQUS software. The midspan deflection value was greater than the experimental values by 6% and 3% for impact and static loads, respectively, and all other results showed a high rate of agreement with the obtained test results. The agreement between the numerical and experimental results indicates that the developed numerical model is capable of analyzing the impact and static behavior of such hybrid GFRP-concrete system.

Published: November 2020

Introduction: Breast cancer is the commonest female malignancy in Malaysia and other countries the world. All races are affected in Malaysia and breast cancer comprised 30.4% of all newly diagnosed cancer cases. A women in Malaysia has a 1 in 19 chances of getting breast cancer in her lifetime. The Age Standardized Rate (ASR) of female breast cancer in Malaysia is 52.8 per 100,000 people and is higher than that in Singapore, Hong Kong and Shanghai, but it is lower than that in Australia and the UK. Out of the 4,337 new cases of female breast cancer cases reported to the National Cancer Registry of Malaysia in 2002, 52.3% were for women less than 50 years old. Genetic risk factors have not been studies thoroughly in Malaysia. Methods: We prospectively studied 55 patients with breast lumps in whom MR imaging was performed. The T1- and T2-weighted, axial STIR, fat-suppression contrast enhanced fast spin echo and two dimensional dynamic enhanced fast spoiled gradient-echo images were obtained. The tumour margins and shape, enhancement pattern and time-signal intensity curves were analysed. Results: A total of 37 patients fulfilled the study criteria with the mean age of 43.46 ±11.99 years (age ranged 21-70). There were 23 benign and 14 malignant lesions. The MR imaging criteria suggestive of malignancy were poorly defined and spiculated margins, irregular shape, heterogeneous and rim enhancement as well as type II and III curves. On the other hand, the criteria for a benign breast lesions were well-defined margin, regular and lobulated shape, none or homogeneous enhancement and type I curve. Only the malignant lesions are characterised by skin, retroareolar, nipple and pectoralis muscle involvement. Conclusion: MR imaging is a valuable complementary breast imaging tool to further evaluate equivocal findings on conventional x-ray mammography. A combination of lesion morphology and enhancement characteristics is useful in distinguishing benign from malignant lesions.

Authors: Pokharel R 
Published: November 2020

Skeletal tuberculosis involving small bones of the hand is less common. We report a case, 6 year old boy, of bilateral symmetrical tubercular osteomyelitis of second metacarpals. He presented with gradually increasing swellings over bilateral hands over duration of one month. There was no other significant history relating to tuberculosis. Hand X-rays showed expansive lesions of bilateral second metacarpals. Thick pus and necrotic tissue was removed from both the swelling and from the bone. Presence of typical tubercular granuloma in the histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. The boy was treated with antitubercular drugs and improved after completion of anti-tubercular treatment. Tuberculosis can present in different ways, and should be kept as one of the possible diagnosis of several bony pathologies including metacarpals and phalanges, especially in this part of the world where tuberculosis endemic.

Elementy filozofii Arystotelesa i Ksenokratesa w Didaskalikosie Alkinoosa
Authors: Krzakowski Jerzy Jacek 
Published: November 2020

Didaskalikos w zamierzeniu Alkinoosa będący wykładem doktryny Platona, w rzeczywistości jest obrazem filozofii obowiązującej w okresie Średniego Platonizmu. Zawiera więc w sobie wiele naleciałości i zapożyczeń z myślicieli okresu wcześniejszego.
Artykuł dotyczy wpływu myśli Arystotelesa i Ksenokratesa na interpretację filozofii Platona dokonaną przez Alkinoosa. Podejmuje próbę wykazania, że przeprowadzony przez Alkinoosa podział filozofii, podział rodzajów życia, sylogistyki i sądów oraz znaczna część jego teologii i etyki ma wyraźne pochodzenie Arystotelesowskie, a przyjęta terminologia oraz podane przez Alkinoosa definicje, interpretacja zagadnień kosmologicznych, teorii poznania i problematyki Boga oraz teoria idei jako myśli Boga wywodzą się wprost z koncepcji Ksenokratesa.
Mając także na uwadze wpływ np. Antiochosa z Askalonu, Filona z Aleksandrii, Areiosa Didymosa czy Posejdoniosa uprawnionym staje się twierdzenie, że filozofia średnioplatońska jest kolejnym krokiem ewolucji myśli filozoficznej.
