The Croatian banking system total assets concentration dynamics: performing a variety of inequality measures
Authors: Delalić Adela , Čurković Maja , Antić Josipa 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
The paper provides an overview of the trend in the concentration of the total assets of banks in Croatia for the period from 2007 to 2016 with the aim of analysing and presenting the changes that occurred in the system. Also, the paper shows the theoretical framework of the indicators used in the research as well as the comparison of their obtained values. The data used to calculate the total assets concentration are taken from the Croatian National Bank. The concentration indices used in the study include the entropy measure, the Theil entropy, the Gini coefficient, the Pietra index, the Atkinson index and the coefficient of variation. The results indicate a very slight decrease in concentration over the past several years, while the coefficient of variation points to the heterogeneity of the system, as well as to inequalities among the banks, which are most evident in the size of banks assets.

Summary

Background
We analyzed cardiovascular inflammatory (C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin 6 (IL-6)), haemostatic (homocysteine) risk markers in lean and obese patients at admission and acute hyperglicemic crisis (AHC) resolving, involving diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS).

Methods
In that context, we included group A: N = 20 obese, B: N=20 lean patients with DKA; C: N = l0 obese, D: N=10 lean patients with HHS; E: N = 15 obese, F: N=15 lean controls. CRP IL-6, homocysteine were determined by ELISA.

Results
Our results showed that CRP IL-6, and homocysteine levels decreased in all groups: (A: p<0.001; B: p<0.001, C: p<0.05; D: p<0.001 mg/L), (A: p<0.001 B: p<0.001, C: p<0.001, D: p<0.01 pg/mL), (A: p<0.001, B: p <0.001; C: p<0.05, D: p=0.001 μmol/L), respectively, at resolving AHC. However, CRP persisted higher (p<0.001, p<0.01), IL-6 lower (p<0.05, p<0.001), while homocysteine levels turned out to be similar to controls.

Conclusions
AHC is associated with increased inflammatory and hemostatic cardiovascular risk markers. Also, insulin therapy in AHC has had more pronounced favorable effect on IL-6 and homocystein than on CRP
Dynamic Response of a Cracked Viscoelastic Anisotropic Plane Using Boundary Elements and Fractional Derivatives
Authors: Rangelov Tsviatko V. , Dineva Petia S. , Manolis George D. 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
The aim of this study is to develop an efficient numerical technique using the non-hypersingular, traction boundary integral equation method (BIEM) for solving wave propagation problems in an anisotropic, viscoelastic plane with cracks. The methodology can be extended from the macro-scale with certain modifications to the nano-scale. Furthermore, the proposed approach can be applied to any type of anisotropic material insofar as the BIEM formulation is based on the fundamental solution of the governing wave equation derived for the case of general anisotropy. The following examples are solved: (i) a straight crack in a viscoelastic orthotropic plane, and (ii) a blunt nano-crack inside a material of the same type. The mathematical modelling effort starts from linear fracture mechanics, and adds the fractional derivative concept for viscoelastic wave propagation, plus the surface elasticity model of M. E. Gurtin and A. I. Murdoch, which leads to nonclassical boundary conditions at the nano-scale. Conditions of plane strain are assumed to hold. Following verification of the numerical scheme through comparison studies, further numerical simulations serve to investigate the dependence of the stress intensity factor (SIF) and of the stress concentration factor (SCF) that develop in a cracked inhomogeneous plane on (i) the degree of anisotropy, (ii) the presence of viscoelasticity, (iii) the size effect with the associated surface elasticity phenomena, and (iv) finally the type of the dynamic disturbance propagating through the bulk material.
A Tilted Lorentz Force Effect on Porous Media Filled with Nanofluid
Authors: Muthtamilselvan M. , Sureshkumar S. 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
This paper is intended to investigate the effects of an inclined magnetic field on the mixed convection flow in a lid-driven porous enclosure filled with nanofluid. Both the left and right vertical walls of the cavity are thermally insulated while the bottom and top horizontal walls are maintained at constant but different temperatures. The governing equations are solved numerically by using finite volume method on a uniformly staggered grid system. The computational results are obtained for various combinations of Richardson number, Darcy number, Hartmann number, inclination angle of magnetic field, and solid volume fraction. It is found that the presence of magnetic field deteriorates the fluid flow, which leads to a significant reduction in the overall heat transfer rate. The inclination angle of magnetic field plays a major role in controlling the magnetic field strength and the overall heat transfer rate is enhanced with the increase of inclination angle of magnetic field. Adding the nanoparticles in the base fluid significantly increases the overall heat transfer rate in the porous medium whether the magnetic field is considered or not.
3D Object Shape Reconstruction from Underwater Multibeam Data and Over Ground Lidar Scanning
Authors: Kulawiak Marek , Łubniewski Zbigniew 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
The technologies of sonar and laser scanning are an efficient and widely used source of spatial information with regards to underwater and over ground environment respectively. The measurement data are usually available in the form of groups of separate points located irregularly in three-dimensional space, known as point clouds. This data model has known disadvantages, therefore in many applications a different form of representation, i.e. 3D surfaces composed of edges and facets, is preferred with respect to the terrain or seabed surface relief as well as various objects shape. In the paper, the authors propose a new approach to 3D shape reconstruction from both multibeam and LiDAR measurements. It is based on a multiple-step and to some extent adaptive process, in which the chosen set and sequence of particular stages may depend on a current type and characteristic features of the processed data. The processing scheme includes: 1) pre-processing which may include noise reduction, rasterization and pre-classification, 2) detection and separation of objects for dedicated processing (e.g. steep walls, masts), and 3) surface reconstruction in 3D by point cloud triangulation and with the aid of several dedicated procedures. The benefits of using the proposed methods, including algorithms for detecting various features and improving the regularity of the data structure, are presented and discussed. Several different shape reconstruction algorithms were tested in combination with the proposed data processing methods and the strengths and weaknesses of each algorithm were highlighted.
Non-Line Analysis of Stiffness in Compression Conditions

Published: July 2018

Abstract
The analyzes were aimed at demonstrating the influence of parameters describing the deformation of the structure on the uncertainty of critical force, and the impact of technological imperfections on stress uncertainty in compression conditions. In a linear buckling analysis, the problem is considered only for the initial, permanent state of the stiffness matrix. In the case of demonstrating the influence of initial deformations on the behavior of the structure under load, it is necessary to visualize changes in stiffness over time. To this end, a non-linear MES analysis was carried out, which will take into account local changes in the stiffness of the model through a gradual increase in the load. Thus, the difference in stiffness is taken into account, which in the linear problem is infinite. The analysis was used to examine the local and global sensitivity of the parameters describing: plating thickness as well as deformation caused by the technological process on the stress value reduced by Huber hypothesis, and the value of normal stress. To take into account the influence of non-specified values of the magnitude of geometric deviations, and their simultaneous influence on the range of obtained results, the Experimental Planning Method and the Surface Method of Answers were used.

Abstract
In future, offshore wind turbines may be consider a crucial part in the supply of energy. Maintenance processes are directed to attain a safe and reliable operation of offshore machines and wind turbines. In this paper, an opportunistic maintenance strategy for offshore wind turbine is proposed, considering imperfect maintenance and the preventive maintenance durations. Reliability Centric Maintenance serves as a proactive tactic to operations and maintenance by inhibiting the possible reasons of poor performance and controlling failures. Other components can implement the opportunistic preventive maintenances if one component has reached its reliability threshold. According to the rolling horizon approach, it is of great importance to update the maintenance planning for the sake of the short-term information. By figuring out the best combination, the maintenance schedule in the mission time has been finally determined. Failure information are obtained from previous studies to accomplish the calculations. The outcomes indicate that the maintenance cost has been dramatically reduced through the application of opportunistic maintenance.

Published: July 2018

Introduction: Globally, World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children (UNICEF) have urged about giving exclusive breastfeed for newborn baby. Indonesian Government had already targeted 80% of the newborn to be given exclusive breastfeed. But the reality told that exclusive breastfeed program wasn’t done well. Although there were a lot of benefits for giving exclusive breastfeed especially for newborn baby and mother, but in fact there were still a lot of mothers that didn’t give it to their baby. One of the reasons was caused by the lactation onset. The woman that did her delivery by caesarean section would have slower onset of lactation compared to normal delivery, because surgical procedure would resist breast milk production process.Objective: To identify the effectivity of breastfeeding technique education related to lactation onset of caesarean section-delivered mother in Mataram City General Hospital.Research method: This research was a quasi-experimental research. This research was held in Mataram City General Hospital. There were 24 intervention and 24 control samples. The independent variable was breastfeeding technique education, and the dependent variable was onset of lactation of caesarean section-delivered mother. Other variables measured were age, occupation, education, number (times) of giving birth, and caesarean section delivery. Sample collection technique was using consecutive sampling and data analysis was using univariable and bivariable chi-square.Result: There was significant relation between breastfeeding technique education and onset of lactation of caesarean section-delivered mother in the intervention group (chi square score = 0,026), but there was no significant relation between breastfeeding technique education and onset of lactation of caesarean section-delivered mother in the control group (chi square score = 0,563).Conclusion: There was significant effect of breastfeeding education for mother that was given intervention, like counseling, compared to control group that was only given leaflet related to mother’s Onset of lactation after caesarean section delivery.
