Large-vessel Giant Cell Arteritis: A Rare Cause of Acute Upper Limb Ischemia – Case Presentation and Review of the Literature
Authors: Makó Katalin , Ureche Corina , Horváth Emőke 
Published: January 2020

Abstract

Introduction: Acute upper extremity ischemia is an uncommon vascular emergency due to a relatively rich collateral network and low workload of the upper limb. Its consequences depend on the site and etiology of the arterial occlusion.

Case presentation: Aiming to emphasize the emerging role of Doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis of acute upper limb ischemia, we report the case of a 70-year-old female, with severe left arm resting pain and digital cyanosis. Due to the patient’s age and the presence of cardiovascular risk factors, cardioembolic or thrombotic arterial occlusion would have been the most likely diagnosis in this case, but the color Doppler ultrasound revealed severe left axillary arterial stenosis with hypoechoic wall swelling, being highly suggestive for arteritis. Temporal artery biopsy was performed, which confirmed giant cell arteritis. An excellent clinical response was obtained after initiation of treatment.

Conclusion: In acute upper limb ischemia, color duplex ultrasound provides quick information about the etiology and localization of arterial lesions, offering characteristic findings in case of large-vessel giant cell arteritis.

Published: January 2020

Abstract
Hence economic growth requires more and more investments in the harbor area, especially nearby waterfront structures, a special attention must be taken into account regarding proper infrastructure design for structures with high vertical loads. At the same time, we have to consider the good behavior of the new design structures and also their impact on the existing nearby waterfront infrastructure. Being adjacent to waterfront structures and due to the limited available space, these structures are typically tall and narrow, and exert average soil pressures on the order of 300KPa. These loads can only be accommodated by ground with an adequate bearing capacity. This publication presents case studies of waterfront projects like grain silos storage facility. Available results for the certification and monitoring of the works are also presented, as well as other considerations based on the author’s experience.

The Quest for the Ideal Darcy-Weisbach Friction Factor Equation from the Perspective of a Building Services Engineer
Authors: Ciprian Bacoţiu 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
The calculation of the friction factor involved in the Darcy-Weisbach equation has a key role in the accurate assessment of distributed head losses. For the turbulent flow regime, this friction factor was mathematically expressed in the form of the Colebrook-White (C-W) equation, widely accepted by engineers and scientists. Nevertheless, the C-W equation is an implicit one and must be solved using numerical methods. This is a major disadvantage for the average engineer, who always prefers an explicit equation which could be easily integrated into his familiar spreadsheet environment. The present paper is investigating some of the most used explicit alternatives to the C-W equation, with respect to several case scenarios taken from typical Building Services hydraulic calculations.
The Concept of Deification in Greek and Syriac
Authors: Seppälä Serafim 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
The early patristic authors dealt with the idea of deification in varying circumstances, in relation to different questions, and in more than one language. This article examines Syriac and Greek discourses and vocabularies related to deification in Early Christian and Post-Chalcedonian sources, concentrating on the Syriac tradition, which is less studied. The comparison illustrates certain similarities and differences. The most striking difference is, perhaps surprisingly, that in the Syriac tradition, the idea of deification is prevalent but specific terms to indicate it are almost never used. The incommensurability of the discourses exemplifies the conceptual difficulties at the emergence of the schisms between the Greek and Syriac speaking parts of Christendom.

The tax is the most important sector for the country in the framework of national development. Government Regulation Number 46 the Year 2013 of income taxes from businesses that received or obtained taxpayers who have certain gross circulation create worry and fear the small businessmen who are pioneering efforts. The purpose of this research was to know and analyze the arrangements regarding the imposition of Final income tax on perpetrators of small medium enterprises according to the Government Regulation number. 46 the year 2013. This type of research is the study of the law normative approach to legislation. The results showed that according to article 2 paragraph (1) the Government Regulation Number 46 the Year 2013 mentioned businessmen who generate income that does not exceed Rp 4.8 Billion in future tax levied a tax of 1% of the total circulation gross (revenue) per month. But in fact, the imposition of a tax of 1% for small medium enterprises whose income Rp Rp-300jt 4, 8 m is not carried out effectively.
Pajak merupakan sektor terpenting bagi negara dalam rangka pembangunan nasional. Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 46 Tahun 2013 tentang Pajak Penghasilan dari Usaha yang diterima atau diperoleh wajib pajak yang memiliki peredaran bruto tertentu membuat khawatir dan ketakutan pelaku usaha kecil yang sedang merintis usahanya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis pengaturan mengenai pengenaan PPh Final pada Pelaku UMKM menurut Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor. 46 Tahun 2013. Jenis penelitian ini merupakan penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan. Penerapan tarif 1% dari pendapatan bagi Pelaku UMKM tidak bisa dipahami kecil, mengingat Pendapatan ini dihitung bukan dari hasil keuntungan, karena tidak bisa dijamin jika berpendapatan besar maka pasti keuntungannya besar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Menurut Pasal 2 ayat (1) Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 46 Tahun 2013 disebutkan pelaku usaha yang menghasilkan pendapatan yang tidak melebihi Rp. 4,8 Miliar dalam satu masa pajak dikenakan pajak sebesar 1% dari jumlah peredaran bruto (pendapatan) setiap bulan. Namun pada kenyataannya, pembebanan pajak 1% bagi UMKM yang berpendapatan Rp. 300jt-Rp. 4,8M tidak terlaksana secara efektif. Apalagi pengenaan 1% dari pendapatan ini dianggap tidak adil karena dibebankan tanpa melihat apakah pelaku UMKM ini berada dalam keadaan untung ataupun rugi, dan juga diberlakukan bagi seluruh pelaku UMKM.

This study aims to determine the forms of commodification in the development of the Okokan tradition as a tourist attraction in Kediri Village, Tabanan. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative data collection techniques through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature study using a ladder of citizen participation theory, product life cycle theory, and commodification theory. This study found that the level of community participation was in the form of consultation with participation between the community and the government still being passive. While the stages of developing the Okokan tradition are at a stage of growth, where the wider community is getting to know Okokan with promotions carried out and proven by the appearance of the Okokan at various events. The forms of commodification in the development of the Okokan tradition as tourist attractions include the processes of production, distribution, and consumption.

Published: January 2020

Over the last three years, the University of Saskatchewan’s College of Engineering has embarked upon a complete redesign of its first year common program. This project started from a blank slate and posed the question, "If we could design any first year program that we wanted, what would we create?" The goal is to offer a first year program that excites, engages, inspires, and holistically prepares students for learning in subsequent years. At CEEA 2018, Phase I of this project was reviewed with a focus on the content of the new first year. This year, the focus is on the structure of the proposed program and how it aims to satisfy programmatic design objectives.
The proposed first year program is highly modular, allowing for more intentional uses of time during the academic year. Course duration and intensity vary and are selected to best serve student learning, rather than conform to the traditional academic schedule. To provide more timely and targeted feedback, summative assessments occur throughout each term allowing course scheduling to extend into the traditional end-of-term final exam period. This paper presents the current structural design of the new first year and the rationale for its significant features.
Some of the program design objectives that have been facilitated by this structure include:
• strategic sequencing of learning with opportunities to integrate and reinforce essential skills,
• multiple, individualized opportunities for students to stumble and recover,
• holistic balancing of content and pacing for better student wellbeing, and
• comprehensive, well-timed exposure to wide-ranging programmatic choices for students.
Throughout this project, the program structure has evolved continuously. This paper will describe the development process, the challenges faced in that process, and the lessons learned. The paper will conclude by describing the current status of the project, and the focus of work currently being undertaken to prepare for implementation.
DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTERVENTION SCHEME TO ADDRESS LOW RETENTION RATE OF A FIRST-YEAR CALCULUS COURSE – A SYSTEMATIC ANALYSIS OF CURRENT TRENDS
Authors: Khan Rubaina , Wang Xinli 
Published: January 2020

Students in engineering and the sciences often complete their studies in mathematics before they have an opportunity to develop an appreciation for the application of mathematical concepts in their major field. It can be argued that without a solid foundation in mathematics at the calculus level, an engineering or science student will find difficulty in understanding and applying the knowledge involved in upper-level classes.
In this study, we examined an Ontario university where the dropout rates could reach as high as fifty percent from a mandatory first-year calculus course and as a response, we would like to develop an intervention mechanism. Using a conceptual framework, we systematically analysed various intervention mechanisms employed by institutions around the world. The framework looks at each intervention strategy and tries to understand how the mechanism identifies who needs intervention, how it is funded, and the steps necessary for a student who would want to receive such an intervention voluntarily. This study will help us to identify key features that are effective in current intervention methods, address the gaps that were observed, and to develop an intervention scheme that addresses high dropout rates from the first-year calculus course.

Bērna pārstāvības nodrošināšana Latvijas Republikā un izceļojot: problēmjautājumi
Authors: Kudeikina Inga , Vanaga Sanita 
Published: January 2020

Rakstā aplūkoti bērna pārstāvības problēmjautājumi. Tā kā bērnam trūkst rīcībspējas, vienmēr ir nepieciešama persona, kas var bērnu pārstāvēt – vecāks, aizbildnis vai pilnvarotā persona. Sava bērna dabiskie aizbildņi, kuri bērnu pārstāv bez īpaša pilnvarojuma, ir bērna vecāki. Mūsdienās bieži ir gadījumi, kad zināmu laiku bērns neatrodas kopā ar vecākiem (tā iemesli var būt vecāku vai bērna ceļojums, vecāku komandējums u. c.), tādēļ vecāki faktiski nevar realizēt savus pienākumus – bērna pārstāvēšanā. Rakstā īpaša vērība veltīta kārtības, kādā bērns šķērso Latvijas Republikas robežu, analīzei, uzmanību pievēršot bērna pārstāvības aspektiem un prettiesiskas bērna izvešanas no valsts novēršanai robežas šķērsošanas procedūru kontekstā.  Veicot tiesiskā regulējuma analīzi, tika konstatēts, ka atsevišķos gadījumos bērnam netiek nodrošināta pārstāvība. Tas ir iespējams gan gadījumā, kad bērna vecāki bez atbilstoša pilnvarojuma bērnu Latvijā ir nodevuši citas personas ikdienas aprūpē, gan gadījumos, kad bērns šķērso valsts robežu viens vai pilnvarotas personas pavadībā, bet pilnvarā nav piešķirtas tiesības bērnu pārstāvēt. Šādā situācijā tiek pārkāptas bērna tiesības un tiek radīta labvēlīga augsne prettiesiskai bērna izvešanai no valsts, ļaunprātīgi izmantojot tiesiskā regulējuma nepilnības. Pētījuma mērķis ir identificēt problēmjautājumus un sniegt priekšlikumus tiesiskā regulējuma pilnveidošanai bērna pārstāvības jautājumos, lai novērstu iespēju bērnus prettiesiski izvest no valsts.  Raksts veidots divās daļās. Pirmajā daļā aplūkoti bērna pārstāvības jautājumi, savukārt otrajā daļā analizēta prettiesiskas bērna izvešanas problemātika bērna pārstāvības nepienācīgas nodrošināšanas dēļ. The article analyses the issues of child representation. The article has two parts. Special attention is paid to cases when a child leaves Latvia. Analysis of the legal framework indicates that in some cases a child is not represented. This happens when a child is not with a parent and the parent has not authorised another person to represent the child. The law allows for such a situation. However, such situation violates the rights of a child. It has been determined that the procedure for a child leaving Latvia is incomplete. It does not ensure that the child can be so illegally removed. Stronger regulation is needed. There must always be someone authorised to represent a child.

Published: January 2020

Plants are one of the large sources of herbal medicines. Many plants have the capability to produce some bioactive constituents which give defense against microorganisms like bacteria and fungi and also from insects. Xanthium strumarium L. is a wild plant that grows like a weed. Leaves of Xanthium strumarium L. were subjected for extraction in 4 different solvents viz. methanol, chloroform, aqueous, and ethanol. The aim of this study was to investigate the phytochemical screening and antimicrobial activity of methanol, chloroform, aqueous, and ethanol extracts prepared from leaves of Xanthium strumarium L. The antibacterial activity was assessed by using the agar well diffusion assay against tested bacterial strain, Escherichia coli (CGSC 4312) and Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 9634). Phytochemical analysis has revealed that Xanthium strumarium L. has most of the significant phytoconstituents like Saponins, Terpenoids, Flavanoids, Phenol, steroids, Anthraquinones, Tannins, Alkaloids, Glycosides, and Carbohydrate. The zone of inhibition was measured and compared by standard antibiotic streptomycin. The outcome of the present work showed that chloroform extract (400µg/ml) showed maximum inhibition against E. Coli (23mm), and Ethanol extract(400µg/ml) showed maximum inhibition against Bacillus subtilis (24mm). The result divulged the presence of antibacterial activity of different extracts of Xanthium strumarium L.against human pathogenic bacteria. Thus, this plant has many active compounds that can be used for the development of various potent drugs.

La judicialización de los procesos de descentralización y autonomía. el caso del tribunal constitucional español y el desarrollo autonómico
Authors: Bercholc Jorge O. 
Published: January 2020

El sustrato teórico e ideológico para dar soporte a un proceso de descentralización es variado y presenta matices contradictorios. El modelo constitucional de federalismo “integrado”, con muchas competencias concurrentes, hace que ellas sean más difusas generando conflictos por la delimitación de las mismas. Por ende, tomando como ejemplo el caso español, el Tribunal Constitucional debe asumir una actividad intensa y un rol muy activo, aún mayor del que generalmente debe asumir un alto tribunal, para resolver conflictos de competencia en federaciones de modelo “dualista”.
Por la dispersión de opiniones y enfoques de la doctrina resulta menester producir conocimiento objetivo, riguroso y microscópico, que permita acercarse a lo nodal del proceso y comprenderlo con más sofisticación, no solamente desde posiciones, en exceso, “generalistas”
