How for the hands: An exploratory narrative for the actor discovering Active Analysis
Authors: Christie Paul 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
A commitment to exploring both form and content are the jumping-off points for this article, which examines the howness of the improvisatory rehearsal process known as Active Analysis alongside the howness of writing about something as highly subjective as acting and actor training. Taking the format of the novel as its driving force, with particular regard to the unique ability of the novel to communicate consciousness in a way which more traditionally academic formats cannot, it follows the story of Victor and his struggle to commit to a new way of experiencing his work, a new kind of howness. Along the way he discovers a great deal about the nature of process and how the kind of attention he pays to the world and his work alters the experience of what actually happens.
Somewhere in between: Blogging as an intermediate and accessible space
Authors: Morris Mhairi A. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
The learning process involves contextualizing new knowledge with prior experiences and beliefs. In the scientific discipline, the focus of learning is geared towards learning how to do science, but there are significant barriers to learning, including jargonized terminology and excessive use of acronyms. Scientific discoveries are made by experimentation, but science as a discipline progresses through a series of ongoing conversations. Blogging provides a platform that widens access to these conversations by communicating science in a style of writing that sits somewhere in between the formal and informal. Regenring scientific writing as a blog can enhance student learning by breaking down the barriers to learning posed by ‘intellectually inaccessible’ information. Here, I describe an experimental approach to teaching cancer biology by regenring a classic review article in the field as a series of blog pieces, using everyday metaphors and analogies to describe the characteristics and behaviour of cancer cells. Other aspects of discipline, identity, ‘voice’ and communities of practice are also considered. Until such time as blogging is recognized as a valid academic output, however, it will remain firmly somewhere in between.
‘Yay! Not another academic essay!’ Blogging as an alternative academic genre
Authors: Hindley David , Clughen Lisa 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Academic writing is a staple university practice required across disciplines to determine student success. Despite its ubiquity, however, literacy scholars have long argued that academic writing is both exclusionary and prohibitive. Drawing on the work of literacy scholars we make the case for the use of blogs in higher education as a way of providing a type of inclusive writing or ‘regenring’ that such scholars advocate. To achieve this, we trial the use of a blog in a final-year undergraduate module, employing a mixed-methods approach to explore student perceptions on whether blogging affords them a means to engage with and take ownership of their writing and learning. In keeping with the task we have set our students, we have presented this article using blog-like features.

Published: June 2018

Background The number of diphtheria cases recently increased, such that an outbreak was declared in East Java Province, which includes the Sampang District. Immunization completion status is a determining factor for diptheria infection.
Objective To investigate for correlations between immunization status and outcomes (severity level, fatality, and complications) of diphtheria patients in the Sampang District.
Methods This analytic, cross-sectional study used secondary data from the East Java Provincial Health Office on diphteria patients aged 0-20 years during the 2011-2015 outbreak in the Sampang District and interviews with diphtheria patients in that region. The Diphtheria Research Team of Soetomo Hospital collected data on immunization status, diphtheria severity (mild, moderate, or severe), case fatality (died or survived), and complications in the patients (with or without complications). Spearman’s, Chi-square, and Fisher’s exact tests were used for data analyses, accordingly.
Results Seventy-one patients with clinical diphtheria were identified, 17 of whom were confirmed with positive culture results. The case fatality rates were 7% in patients with clinical and 5.9% in confirmed diphtheria. There were no correlations between patient immunization status and severity (P=0.469 clinical, P=0.610 confirmed), or fatality (P=0.618 clinical, P=0.294 confirmed) of diphtheria in the clinical and confirmed diphtheria patients. However, there was a correlation between patient immunization status and the emergence of complications in clinical (P=0.013), but not in confirmed (P=0.620) diphtheria patients.
Conclusion There is a correlation between immunization status and complications in clinical diphtheria patients. Such a correlation is not found in confirmed diphtheria cases because none of the patients had complete immunization status.

Published: June 2018

Background Indonesia is ranked fifth in the world for the problem of stunting. Stunting in children under the age of five requires special attention, due to its inhibiting effect on children’s physical and mental development. Stunting is caused by several factors, one of which is breastfeeding. Stunting has been associated with several factors, one of which is non-exclusive breastfeeding.
Objective To determine the correlations between non-exclusive breastfeeding and low birth weight to stunting in children aged 2-5 years.
Methods This case-control study was conducted in October to November 2016 in multiple integrated health service clinics (posyandu) in Sangkrah, Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia. Subjects were children aged 24-59 months who visited the posyandu and were included by purposive sampling. Children classified as stunted were allocated to the case group, whereas the children classified with normal nutritional status were allocated to the control group. Parents filled questionnaires on history of exclusive breastfeeding, child’s birth weight, maternal education, and family socio-economic status.
Results Of the 60 subjects, the control group had 30 normal children and the case group had 30 stunted children. Multivariate analysis by logistical regression test revealed statistically significant correlations between stunting and non-exclusive breastfeeding (adjusted OR for exclusive breastfeeding 0.234; 95%CI 0.061 to 0.894), as well as low birth weight (adjusted OR 10.510; 95%CI 1.180 to 93.572) This value implies that exclusive breastfeeding is a protecting factor against stunting, which means exclusive breastfeeding is able to decrease the prevalence of stunting in children under the age of five.
Conclusion In children aged 2-5 years, the histories of non-exclusive breastfeeding and low birth weights are significantly correlated sith stunting.
Modelling habitats in karst landscape by integrating remote sensing and topography data

Published: June 2018

AbstractField mapping is an accurate but also time consuming method of detailed mapping of habitat types. Levels of habitat types are usually hierarchically nested at several levels. Our main research question therefore is: ‘How detailed can be modelling of habitat types with decision trees and digital data in karst landscape?’ Similar to studies in other (non-karst) environments we explored the basic properties of the habitats in Dinaric Karst study region (Classical Karst in Southwest Slovenia) and tested modelling of habitat types at three different levels of detail. To seek for the best set of predictor variables we used Rapid-Eye satellite images, airborne images and digital elevation model. We prepared more than 60 explanatory variables and divided habitat polygons into training and testing samples to validate the results. The results proved that modelling with decision trees in Dinaric Karst landscape does not result in high accuracy at high detailed levels. Due to the presence of mine fields in the large area of Dinaric Karst (e.g. in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina) the field mapping in this area is difficult therefore the findings from this study can be used for further development of mapping through remote sensing.
Mineral Constituents and Kaolinite Crystallinity of the <2 μm Fraction of Cretaceous-Paleogene/Neogene Kaolins from Eastern Dahomey and Niger Delta Basins, Nigeria
Authors: Oyebanjo O.M. , Ekosse G.E. , Odiyo J.O. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This study examines the mineral composition and kaolinite crystallinity of Cretaceous and Paleogene/Neogene kaolins from Nigeria based on X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy data of the <2 μm fraction. The purpose of this was to assess the minerals present, structural order, and possible industrial applications of the kaolins. A total of twenty-eight (28) samples comprising of fifteen (15) Cretaceous and thirteen (13) Paleogene/Neogene kaolins were analysed. The XRD results showed that both the Cretaceous and Paleogene/Neogene kaolins have kaolinite as the dominant phase followed by quartz with anatase, hematite, and goethite occurring in minor quantities. Based on the mineralogical composition, the Paleogene/Neogene deposits were classified as sandy kaolin and the Cretaceous deposits were classified as pure kaolin. The kaolinite structural order for the Cretaceous pure kaolin was higher than that obtained for the Paleogene/Neogene sandy kaolin with more quartz, iron, and titanium oxides. The economic consideration of the deposits showed that the sandy kaolin type can be used in pigment industrial applications whereas the pure kaolin type can be used in refractory, fiberglass, and ceramic industrial applications.
Construction of a dynamic arrival time coverage map for emergency medical services
Authors: Piórkowski Adam 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This article presents a design of coverage maps for emergency journeys made by emergency medical services. The system was designed for the Malopolskie Voivodeship Office in Cracow, Poland. The proposed solution displays maps of the ambulance coverage of areas and ambulance’s potential journey times. There are two versions of the map: static and dynamic. The static version is used to appropriately allocate ambulances to cover an area with the ability to reach locations in less than 15 or 20 minutes; the dynamic version allows monitoring of ambulance fleets under normal conditions or in the event of a crisis.
The article also presents the results of archival data related to the movement of ambulances on the roads of Malopolskie Voivodship. Particular attention was paid to the relation between the speed of vehicles and the traffic on the road, the day of the week or month, and long-term trends. The collected observations made it possible to assume a general model of ambulance movement in the voivodeship to calculate arrival time coverage maps.
Characterizing Seismo-stratigraphic and Structural Framework of Late Cretaceous-Recent succession of offshore Indus Pakistan

Published: June 2018

Abstract
Regional seismic reflection profiles and deep exploratory wells have been used to characterize the subsurface structural trends and seismo-stratigraphic architecture of the sedimentary successions in offshore Indus Pakistan. To improve the data quality, we have reprocessed the seismic data by applying signal processing scheme to enhance the reflection continuity for obtaining better results. Synthetic seismograms have been used to identify and tie the seismic reflections to the well data. The seismic data revealed tectonically controlled, distinct episodes of normal faulting representing rifting during Mesozoic and transpression at Late Eocene time. A SW-NE oriented anticlinal type push up structure is observed resulted from the basement reactivation and recent transpression along Indian Plate margin. The structural growth of this particular pushup geometry was computed. Six mappable seismic sequences have been identified on seismic records. In general, geological formations are at shallow depths towards northwest due to basement blocks uplift. A paleoshelf is also identified on seismic records overlain by Cretaceous sediments, which is indicative of Indian-African Plates rifting at Jurassic time. The seismic interpretation reveals that the structural styles and stratigraphy of the region were significantly affected by the northward drift of the Indian Plate, post-rifting, and sedimentation along its western margin during Middle Cenozoic. A considerable structural growth along the push up geometry indicates present day transpression in the margin sediments. The present comprehensive interpretation can help in understanding the complex structures in passive continental margins worldwide that display similar characteristics but are considered to be dominated by rifting and drifting tectonics.

Abstract
Hydrological heritage is a relatively new concept in the field of geosite assessment. The principal aim of this study is to apply M-GAM (Modified geosite assessment model) for comparative analysis of the Krupaja spring and the Žagubica (Mlava) spring, located in Homolje area, in Eastern Serbia. According to the classification of geosites of Institute for Nature Conservation of Serbia, these sites are on the list of protected sites (“hydro(geo)logical” heritage sites) of extraordinary national importance; however, they still have not gained necessary recognition in Serbia. Thus, their assessment according to different target groups should provide a clearer picture of their current condition. As M-GAM considers that not all indicators for evaluation of geosites are of the same importance, this paper applies two methods for comparing and determining the importance of indicators and subindicators in the model (Analytical-hierarchy process (AHP) and descriptive statistics conducted by SPSS). Also, it is assumed that different target groups will give different importance to some indicators in the model, which would result in various evaluation scores for the same geosites. The paper also provides a comparative analysis of the assessment carried out by two different target groups – potential geotourists and geoexperts. The results obtained by AHP and descriptive statistics are quite similar, which confirms the reliability of respondents’ answers and the results gained. The analyzed sites are differently positioned in the evaluation matrix, and implications are further discussed in the paper.

Published: June 2018

Abstract
Magnetorheological (MR) fluids with excellent rheological characteristics are capable of exhibiting very quick responses to control vibrations in machines and structures under seismic excitations. The damping properties of MR fluids can be controlled by varying the externally applied magnetic field and current to the fluid. In the present work, MR fluids with nanoscale suspensions were used to eliminate the need of additives and to minimize the settling. The resultant suspensions exhibit good magnetic behavior under damper with off-state and on-state rheology using cyclic load test. The result also showed that the maximum damping force of 2 kN (off-state) and 3.52 kN (on-state) was observed for the MR fluid containing 20 % iron particles in silicone oil. Additionally, the behavior of the MR damper on a reinforced cement concrete (RCC) frame subjected to cyclic loading was studied. To determine the efficiency of the MR damper, an RCC frame was casted and tested with and without damper. The results show that the incorporation of the MR damper reduced the displacement by 49 % and an increase in load carrying capacity of 55 % was attained compared with the RCC frame without damper.
Surface Topography Effects on the Fatigue Strength of Cast Aluminum Alloy AlSi8Cu3
Authors: Leitner Martin , Stoschka Michael , Fröschl Jürgen , Wiebesiek Jens 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This article investigates the effect of the cast surface topography on the fatigue strength of the cast aluminum alloy AlSi8Cu3, which is equivalent to EN AC-46200 and A380 according to ASTM. Fatigue tests utilizing small-scale specimens under bending at a load stress ratio of R = 0 reveal a significant influence of the cast surface layer, leading to a reduction of the nominal fatigue strength at ten million load cycles by about one half. Fracture surface analysis highlights that crack initiation occurs because of both surface roughness and micropores within the cast surface layer. A numerical simulation procedure to assess the influence of the surface roughness on the fatigue strength is presented. Thereby, a three-dimensional mesh of an optically scanned surface topography is set up and a local fatigue strength reduction factor is numerically computed based on the critical distance approach by Taylor. The results reveal that the presented method slightly overestimates the fatigue strength compared to the experiments; however, the determined values lead to a sound accordance if the scatter of the fatigue test data points is considered.

Published: June 2018

Background: Hypothermia is a method of myocardial protection in cardiac surgery. This protection occurs by decreasing the metabolic demands, however, it creates susceptibility to various problems. In this study, we investigated patients operated on under normothermia (at the patient’s own temperature) and hypothermia for postoperative differences.Methods: The study was conducted between June 2015 and September 2016 with 167 patients. The patients were divided into two groups in accordance with our routine clinical practice: the normothermic group (native temperature goup; intraoperative body temperature ≥ 34°C), and the hypothermic group intraoperative body temperature < 34°C - ≥ 28°C). Preoperative and postoperative data of patients were recorded and the two groups were compared.Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of cross clamp time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, awakening and extubation times, intensive care unit and hospital stay, drainage, mean serum lactate levels, arrhytmia, all causes infection, renal insufficiency, neurologic complications, myocardial infarction, or mortality (P > .05). Inotrope and transfusion requirements were found to be statistically significantly lower in the normothermic group than the hypothermic group (P < .05).Conclusion: Although hypothermia is commonly used in cardiac surgery, it has harmful effects. We believe that cardiac surgery can safely be performed at a patient’s own temperature without active cooling to avoid these dangers.
