Supply chain management and lean concept in construction: a case of Ghanaian building construction industry
Authors: Boateng Ali 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Supply chain management (SCM), for the past two decades, has been identified by manufacturing industries as a new way of doing business. Construction, similar to manufacturing and other services industries, is experiencing emerging trends that are aimed at giving ultimate satisfaction to the end user. Lean construction is a way to design production systems in order to minimize waste of materials, time and efforts which generate maximum possible amount of value. This research looked into how SCM can benefit the Ghanaian building construction industry through the application of lean concept. The purpose of this study is to assess the level of collaboration and coordination in planning of activities among construction industry players and investigate into the sources of waste in construction. The study, employing survey and case study approaches, collected data through structured questionnaires, in-depth interviews and direct observation of ongoing projects on KNUST campus. One sample t-test was used to analyse the data. The findings pointed out that the level of coordination and collaboration in planning among industry players were very appreciable though there still exist room for improvement.

Published: January 2020

Abstract
This research aimed to perform linguistic analysis of the statements of experts and novices in the arts concerning figurative paintings from the 16th to 19th century of different aesthetic value under different instructions. The experts were selected based on a formal criterion of education in visual arts. Based on previous research, the paintings were divided into three groups: beautiful, not beautiful and controversial. The participants viewed them from different points of view defined by seven instructions. The Linguistic Inquiry Word Count (LIWC) was used to measure the connotation of statements in emotional and cognitive terms. Hypotheses, according to which the statements of novices are marked more with emotional, and those of experts more with cognitive processes, were only partially confirmed. It turned out that the emotional or cognitive connotation of statements concerning paintings is mostly modified by the point from which they are viewed and their aesthetic value.

Increasingly limited land in the high elevation and increasing of global temperature needed breeding of cauliflower plants originating from temperate regions to be adaptively planted in low elevation. This study aimed to identify the morphological variability and yield component of cauliflower planted in the high elevation and low elevation. The experiment was conducted in Pasir Sarongge (1,117 m asl) and Tajur II (340 m asl) from June to December 2016. This experiment was conducted with a randomized complete block design single-factor (12 genotypes of cauliflower) with three replications. The results showed that BOB 021 genotype was not flowering in Tajur. Qualitative characteristics that are stable in two locations include leaf attitude, leaf color, curd color, leaf lobing, and curd covering by inner leaves. Vegetative characters and yields in low elevation were higher than high elevation, time of flowering and harvesting in high elevation was earlier than in low elevation. Based on the correlation analysis, an increase in the yield characters can be seen from the increase in vegetative character and increase in longevity time of flowering and harvesting.

¿Qué es un Paciente? Los márgenes del sujeto en el modelo integral en APS.
Authors: Lawrence Zegers Tomás 
Published: January 2020

El presente texto pretende reflexionar en torno a la noción de paciente, frente a lo cual, el análisis del concepto de sujeto a la base emana como inevitable para entender la relación dialéctica inconsciente entre un paciente y una alteridad que escucha ese relato que el paciente trae. Se concluye en función de que el paciente es el resultado del encuentro con su terapeuta. Es la interacción entre ambos, la que ofrece una realidad única sobre la cual trabajar, poniendo énfasis en la escucha y traducción de las demandas del paciente para la restitución del síntoma. El paciente entonces acontece en el espacio clínico, y su saber, el de sus experiencias de vida, se torna el principal dispositivo para el cambio. El terapeuta sólo es un espejo que restituye y devuelve una imagen del padecer del sujeto, quien finalmente se escuchadesde otro lugar.

Background:
Epithelioid glioblastoma is a rare aggressive variant of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), which was formally recognized by the World Health Organization classification of the central nervous system in 2016. Clinically, epithelioid GBMs are characterized by aggressive features, such as metastases and cerebrospinal fluid dissemination, and an extremely poor prognosis. A rare case of epithelioid GBM that was discovered as a multicentric glioma with different histopathology is reported.

Case Description:
A 78-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with mild motor weakness of the right leg. Neuroimaging showed small masses in the left frontal and parietal lobes on magnetic resonance imaging. The abnormal lesion had been increasing rapidly for 3 weeks, and a new lesion appeared in the frontal lobe. 11C-methionine positron emission tomography (PET) showed abnormal uptake corresponding to the lesion. To reach a definitive diagnosis, surgical excision of the right frontal mass lesion was performed. Histological findings showed diffuse astrocytoma. Only radiotherapy was planned, but the left frontal and parietal tumors progressed further within a short period. Therefore, it was thought that these tumors were GBM, and a biopsy of the left parietal tumor was performed. The histological diagnosis was epithelioid GBM. Immunohistochemistry showed that most tumor cells were negatively stained for p53 and isocitrate dehydrogenase 1. BRAF V600E mutations were not identified, but TERT promoter mutations were identified. Immediately after surgery, the patient was given chemotherapy using temozolomide, extended local radiotherapy and then bevacizumab. After 6 months, he showed no signs of recurrence.

Conclusion:
Epithelioid GBM is one of the rarest morphologic subtypes of GBM and has a strongly infiltrative and aggressive nature. Therefore, careful identification of preoperative imaging studies and detailed evaluation of genetic studies are necessary to select the appropriate treatment for epithelioid GBM.

To determine the risk associated with combined therapy of oral hypoglycemic agents and insulin in the development of cognitive decline secondary to hypoglycemia. The study comprised of two arms, in arm 1 (n=30) diabetic patients on OHA and insulin combined therapy were observed for cognitive derangement based on Mini Cog score (Pearson’s correlation r was calculated between the two)and the patients were also ruled out for hypoglycemia episodes. Similarly, in arm 2(n=30), only OHA therapy patients were evaluated on the same parameters using Pearson’s correlation. Mean Mini Cog scores were found to be 1.79 in patients on combinational therapy of OHA and insulin. In the case of patients only on OHA for diabetes control mean Mini Cog, the score was 2.0. Pearson’s coefficient r 1 between OHA plus insulin duration of therapy in years with Mini Cog score was -0.5831 at a statistically significant p value of 0.0007. While on the other hand, patients only on OHA therapy (in years)were not significantly correlated with Mini Cog scores.(r 2= - 0.0149 ; p value =0.93771).In the arm 1 (OHA + Insulin(n=30)), the average number of hypoglycemia episodes were found to be 2.633 as compared to the OHA only group in which mean hypoglycemia episodes were 0.866. There was a significant difference in the hypoglycemia episodes, as confirmed by the student t-test (4.06368) at a p value = 0.000147. Based on the study findings, combined Treatment with Oral Hypoglycemic agents and insulin in longer run may lead to cognitive derangement secondary to hypoglycemia.*Significance level <0.01, Negative correlations are indicative of lower the values of battery scores higher would be cognitive derangement.

Spinach is a highly nutritious leaf vegetable that is beneficial to the body, including one of the plants recommended fields to support the Family Nutrition Improvement Business (FNIB). Spinach contains nitrate (NO3-) which is reduced by air will become nitrite (NO2-). Consuming spinach should not be more than 5 hours after cooking, because if consumed in a situation that has been left it can cause poisoning in the body. This study was a quasi-experiment with Griess II examination method with Perkin Elmer's Lambda 25 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer which aims to determine the effect of temperature and storage time on nitrite levels in green spinach stew. The results of data processing showed nitrite levels in green spinach stew stored for 3 hours at 0.017mg/L and 0.038mg/kg, for 6 hours at 0.076mg/L and 0.015mg/kg and for 9 hours at 0.428mg/L and 0.005mg/kg.The level of storage in the room, the lowest value is 0.009mg/L while the highest value is 0.915mg/L. Whereas in the refrigerator storage the lowest value is 0.003mg/L and the highest level is 0.048mg/L.Â The conclusion in this study is that there are differences in nitrite levels in boiled green spinach which are stored for 3 hours, 6 hours, and 9 hours, and there is an effect of storage temperature on nitrite levels with very strong relationship strength.

Published: January 2020

Bu çalışmada farklı sıkıştırma hızları (0.5, 1.0,
1.5 ve 2 mm/s) ve yönlerinin (uzunluk, genişlik ve kalınlık), Sivri fındık
çeşidinde bazı kırılma özellikleri (kırma kuvveti, kırma enerjisi ve özgül
deformasyon) ile iç çıkma kalitesi üzerine etkileri belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca
kabuk kalınlığı ve geometrik ortalama
çap değerleriyle bu kırılma özellikleri ve iç çıkma kalitesi arasındaki ilişki
incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla 16.40 mm’den büyük ve küçük olan iki grup kabuklu
fındık örneği üniversal tekstür cihazıyla sıkıştırma testlerine tabi tutulmuştur. En düşük kırılma
kuvveti (167 N) ve enerjisi (105 J) uzunluk
yönünden kuvvet uygulanan ikinci grup fındıklarda bulunmuştur. İncelenen
fındık örneklerinde geometrik ortalama
çap ve kabuk kalınlıklarının, kabuk kırılma özelliklerini önemli şekilde
etkilediği bulunmuştur. Kabuk kalınlığı ve geometrik ortalama çap arttıkça
genellikle kabuk kırılma kuvveti ve kırılma enerjisi artmış, özgül deformasyon
ise düşmüştür. Yükleme hızı arttıkça
birinci grup meyvelerde kırılma için ihtiyaç duyulan kuvvet ve enerji artarken,
ikinci grupta bu değişim kararlılık göstermemiştir. Tüm kombinasyonlarda
kırılma hızı artıkça iç çıkma kalitesi bariz olarak azalmıştır. Geometrik ortalama çap ile iç çıkma kalitesi
arasında herhangi bir ilişki saptanamamıştır. Sonuç olarak iki grup için
ortalama değerler dikkate alındığında en düşük kırılma kuvveti (199.5 N) uzunluk yönünden yapılan testlerde elde
edilirken, iç çıkma kalitesi bakımından en iyi sonucu (5.00) genişlik ekseninde kırılan fındıklar vermiştir. Sivri fındık
çeşidi için incelenen hızlar dikkate alındığında kaliteli iç eldesi için 1
mm/s’nin üzerindeki kırma hızları önerilmemektedir.
Las asociaciones profesionales de sociologí­a en Argentina y las disputas por la "profesión"
Authors: Carrera Cecilia 
Published: January 2020

Este escrito se refiere a las asociaciones profesionales de sociólogas y sociólogos en Argentina. El proceso de profesionalización y más concretamente la definición de qué es "dedicarse a la sociologí­a" ha tenido un importante espacio en el desarrollo de la sociologí­a local, generando debates y posiciones enfrentadas. Sin embargo, en los numerosos trabajos dedicados a la historia de la sociologí­a y a la inserción profesional y laboral de sociólogxs, estas organizaciones reciben escasa atención. En este artí­culo describo algunas actividades que desarrollaron las organizaciones profesionales generadas desde la segunda mitad de la década de 1970. El propósito es explorar el lugar que estas organizaciones y sus participantes han tenido y tienen en el proceso de profesionalización de sociólogxs y en la construcción y disputa por los sentidos de la profesión en el paí­s. Para ello, reconstruyo las perspectivas de algunxs de sus integrantes y sus contextos de producción.
Procuro mostrar que, si bien quienes integraron e integran las asociaciones profesionales desde los años 70 no han participado activamente de los debates sobre la historia y génesis de la sociologí­a que tienen protagonismo entre investigadores, sí­ han buscado instalar sus maneras de entender y desarrollar la profesión, disputando con otros actores.
Pediatricians Over 50 Reentering Clinical Practice: Implications for Physicians and the Regulatory Community
Authors: Mulvey Holly J. , Jewett Ethan Alexander , Merline Alicia , Towey Kelly J. 
Published: January 2020

ABSTRACT
Physician reentry into the workforce can be defined as returning to professional activity/clinical practice for which one has been trained, certified or licensed after an extended time period away. Little data and information on this topic exist; however, the American Academy of Pediatrics, in conjunction with the Association of American Medical Colleges, sent a survey to 1,600 pediatricians aged 50 and older that included information on extended leaves of absence from clinical practice, retirement patterns, and considerations/preparation to reenter the workforce. Data from this group showed that extended leaves of absence are not tied to generalist or specialist practice, career satisfaction, or desire for a part-time practice arrangement. Women were more likely than men to take extended leaves of absence from clinical medicine, and these leaves were longer than those for men. Additionally, very few reentering pediatricians had any retraining before returning to practice. In the future, policymakers, educators, state medical and osteopathic boards and others will need to collaborate to design a reentry system that addresses physician readiness to return to the workforce — as well as patient safety issues — and to tailor education to the needs and focus of individuals reentering physician's practice.
Characteristics of Physicians Referred for a Competence Assessment: A Comparison of State Medical Board and Hospital Referred Physicians
Authors: Grace Elizabeth S. , Korinek Elizabeth J. , Tran Zung V. 
Published: January 2020

ABSTRACT
This study compares key characteristics and performance of physicians referred to a clinical competence assessment and education program by state medical boards (boards) and hospitals. Physicians referred by boards (400) and by hospitals (102) completed a CPEP clinical competence assessment between July 2002 and June 2010. Key characteristics, self-reported specialty, and average performance rating for each group are reported and compared. Results show that, compared with hospital-referred physicians, board-referred physicians were more likely to be male (75.5% versus 88.3%), older (average age 54.1 versus 50.3 years), and less likely to be currently specialty board certified (80.4% versus 61.8%). On a scale of 1 (best) to 4 (worst), average performance was 2.62 for board referrals and 2.36 for hospital referrals. There were no significant differences between board and hospital referrals in the percentage of physicians who graduated from U.S. and Canadian medical schools. The most common specialties referred differed for boards and hospitals. Conclusion: Characteristics of physicians referred to a clinical competence program by boards and hospitals differ in important respects. The authors consider the potential reasons for these differences and whether boards and hospitals are dealing with different subsets of physicians with different types of performance problems. Further study is warranted.
UNDERCARRIAGE UPDATING OF DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE TE 109
Authors: Slivinskiy Evgeniy , Radin Sergey 
Published: January 2020

In the design of modern diesel locomotives equipped with three-axial bogies both in our country and abroad there is widely used a spring hanger made as cylindrical spiral springs of compression with the use of hydraulic shock absorbers. At that the boxes of wheel pairs are connected with frames with the aid of carriers.
A considerable drawback of such bogies is that these designs do not allow obtaining the angular turn of wheel pairs during their motion along curvilinear areas of a railway. That is why in practice an increased wear of wheel flanges of wheel pairs takes place. In Bunin SU of Yelets at the level of the invention (RU2604924) there is developed a promising design of a spring hanger excluding such a drawback and a series of computations for substantiation of its efficient design parameters. The investigation results are recommended by research and industrial companies in the field of heavy engineering both in our country, and abroad with the purpose of the further study of the design developed and its possible introduction in practice.
