Controllability of nonlinear fractional Langevin delay systems
Authors: Kumar Pitchaikkannu Suresh Suresh , Balachandran Krishnan , Annapoorani Natarajan 
Published: June 2018

In this paper, we discuss the controllability of fractional Langevin delay dynamical systems represented by the fractional delay differential equations of order 0 < α,β ≤ 1. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the controllability of linear fractional Langevin delay dynamical system are obtained by using the Grammian matrix. Sufficient conditions for the controllability of the nonlinear delay dynamical systems are established by using the Schauders fixed-point theorem. The problem of controllability of linear and nonlinear fractional Langevin delay dynamical systems with multiple delays and distributed delays in control are studied by using the same technique. Examples are provided to illustrate the theory.
mu-stability criteria for nonlinear differential systems with additive leakage and transmission time-varying delays
Authors: Lv Xiaoxiao , Rakkiyappan Rajan , Li Xiaodi 
Published: June 2018

In this paper, the μ-stability analysis issue of nonlinear differential systems along with two kinds of delay components, namely, leakage delay and transmission delay, is investigated. By constructing a suitable Lyapunov–Krasovskii's functional and utilizing Finsler's lemma, some novel μ-stability criteria for the concerned nonlinear system are obtained. These criteria are expressed in the framework of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be verified easily by means of standard software. Finally, two examples are presented to exhibit the advantage and effectiveness of the proposed theoretical results.

Published: June 2018

Abstract This paper aims to figure out the government policy in education management, community participation, and accessibility in border area. The qualitative framed theory with case study approach was used as the method of this study. The results showed that government was enacting special policies in national school operational assistance, providing block grant funds, special allowances for teachers and education personnel in border areas. Participation of the community was in the form of building dormitory in mutual assistance; customary heads took the legal role of school land and cultural preservation through extracurricular activities. Implementation of education in the form of nationalism enhancement assisted by the Indonesian National Army, facilities and school infrastructure were still under the national standards, teachers and employees were not disciplined, and supervision had not functioned optimally. When the teacher had given an assignment out of the region sometimes they had to leave their teaching job for up to two weeks late due to difficult. Abstrak Artikel ini bertujuan untuk meninjau kebijakan pemerintah dalam manajemen pendidikan, partisipasi masyarakat, dan aksesibilitas di daerah perbatasan. Teori yang dirumuskan secara kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus digunakan sebagai metode penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemerintah memberlakukan kebijakan khusus dalam bantuan operasional sekolah nasional, menyediakan dana hibah blok, tunjangan khusus yang diperuntukan bagi guru dan tenaga kependidikan di daerah perbatasan. Partisipasi masyarakat adalah dalam bentuk membangun asrama dalam bantuan timbal balik; Kepala adat mengambil peran hukum pada ranah sekolah dan pelestarian budaya melalui kegiatan ekstrakurikuler. Pengimplementasian pendidikan dalam bentuk peningkatan nasionalisme dibantu oleh Tentara Nasional Indonesia, fasilitas dan infrastruktur sekolah masih di bawah standar nasional, guru dan karyawan yang tidak disiplin, dan pengawasan tidak berfungsi secara optimal. Ketika guru telah diberikan tugas di luar daerah, kadang-kadang mereka harus meninggalkan pekerjaan mengajar mereka hingga dua minggu lebih lama dari waktu yang ditugaskan karena akses yang tidak mudah dijangkau.

Effects of Growth Regulators and Type-Variety of Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) on Direct Organogenesis
Authors: NWAOGUALA Chibuzo Nwabueze Chikezie , SHITTU Hakeem Olalekan 
Published: June 2018

The in vitro organogenesis of embryos of type-variety (‘Albescens’, ‘Nigrescens’, ‘Virescens’ and ‘Idolatrica’) of the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) with growth regulators was studied. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, supplemented with nine treatment concentrations of Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP), alone and in combinations, was used to initiate embryo cultures of the type-variety. Data were collected on time of root production, root length, plant height, number of leaves and number of roots. The results obtained indicated that there were swelling and expansion of the matured zygotic explants in cultures within 7 and 14 days after culture initiation (DCI). Time of root production did not vary significantly among type-variety, but differed significantly (p < 0.001) due to growth regulators, whereas their interaction effect was non-significant. Root length and plantlet height significantly varied (p < 0.05) due to type-variety and growth regulators, as well as their interaction. There were no significant variations among type-variety on number of leaves and roots produced at 84 DCI, but there was significant (p < 0.05) variations on number of leaves and non-significant variance on number of roots due to growth regulators. The type-variety combined with growth regulators effects on number of leaves and roots were not significant. In the present study, the responses of the various type-variety in the regeneration of plantlets in vitro varied with respect to media supplementation and that low concentration of NAA and BAP, alone and in different combinations, favoured root, leaf and plantlet production in MS medium.

Fear of Mastectomy Associated with Delayed Breast Cancer Presentation Among Ghanaian Women
Authors: Martei Yehoda M. , Vanderpuye Verna , Jones Beth A. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract

Background
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality among women globally. Most women in Ghana present with advanced stage disease. The aim of this study is to characterize sociocultural factors associated with delayed presentation.

Materials and Methods
Qualitative study (grounded theory, constant comparative method) using individual in-depth interviews with breast cancer patients seen at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, Ghana. Interviews were conducted in English and three local languages. We achieved theoretical saturation with 31 participants.

Results
The mean length of delay reported by patients was approximately 1 year. Five recurrent themes were related to delayed presentation: (a) Women with a confirmed breast cancer diagnosis delay treatment because of the fear of mastectomy due to self and societal stigma; (b) role of the church as a social support system given the societal stigma associated with breast cancer; (c) study participants expressed some awareness of breast cancer, but with varying depths of breast cancer knowledge encompassing both myths and misconceptions about breast cancer; (d) most patients present late because they do not associate a “painless” breast lump with possible breast malignancy; and (e) delayed presentation linked to significant financial burden associated with breast cancer treatment.

Conclusion
Despite current efforts to increase breast cancer awareness, the fear of mastectomy remains one of the main reasons for delayed presentation. Successful breast cancer education programs will need to be framed within the broader sociocultural dimensions of femininity that address some of the stigma associated with mastectomy reported in the Ghanaian context.

Borik asit
(BA), antioksidan özellikleri ve antioksidan savunma sistemi güçlendirici
özellikleri ile bilinen bitkiler, insanlar ve hayvanlar için bir eser
mineraldir. Bu çalışma, deneysel sıçanlarda BA’nın siklofosfamid (SF) nedenli
akut kalp toksisitesi üzerindeki koruyucu etkilerini araştırmayı
amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla, her grupta 6 hayvan olacak şekilde sıçanlar 4 gruba
ayrılmıştır (Kontrol, SF (200 mg/kg) grubu, BA (200 mg/kg) grubu ve BA+SF
grubu). Hayvanların doku ve kan örnekleri morfolojik ve biyokimyasal
değerlendirmeler için toplanmıştır. Tek doz SF verilen grupta, kreatin kinaz (CK-MB), laktat dehidrojenez
(LDH) ve yapısal değişikliklerin bir işareti olarak kabul edilen iskemi
modifiye albümin (IMA) gibi kardiyak biyokimyasal belirteçler anlamlı olarak
arttığı görülmüştür. Diğer taraftan, BA ile ön koruma yapılan BA+SF verilen
grupta CK-MB, LDH ve IMA düzeyleri anlamlı düzeyle azalmıştır. Bulgularımız, BA
tedavisinin sıçanlar üzerindeki toksik etkileri başarılı bir şekilde
değiştirdiğini göstermiştir. Sonuç olarak, SF uygulmasından önce yapılan BA
tedavisi kalp dokusunu, meydana gelen toksisiteye karşı koruyabilir.
Брянский текст: пути и способы формирования

<p>Статья выполнена в рамках семиотического подхода к изучению города, который рассматривается как текст, т. е. в единстве элементов, составляющих его смысловое поле и выполняющих знаковую функцию. Предметом анализа являются процесс и результат символизации пространства, протекающий в конкретном среднерусском городе с более чем 1000-летней историей.</p><p>Выявлены и описаны четыре основных периода развития брянского текста: 1) подготовительный (начало 1880-х годов — 1917 г.), 2) послереволюционный (1918 г. — начало 1930-х годов), 3) советский (начало 1930-х годов — 1985 г.), 4) современный (с 1985 г.). Все эти разные, порой взаимоисключающие друг друга по доминирующей идее и содержанию уровни выстраиваются в единое целое благодаря системе устойчивых образов, соотношение и место которых в культурном пространстве Брянска заметно менялось в зависимости от идеологической составляющей эпохи. Определяющее влияние на содержание и интенсивность развития брянского текста оказывают способы его формирования. Гораздо большее идейно-тематическое разнообразие демонстрируют соотносимые со сменой идеологий революционный и современный периоды, чем советский, характеризующийся тотальным контролем власти над всеми процессами в культурной сфере.</p><p>Исследование выявило истоки идейно-тематического разнообразия, внутреннюю логику и противоречия брянского текста, этимологию его смысловых констант. Была определена его вершинная точка, совпадающая с творчеством Л. И. Добычина, после которого на семь десятилетий теряется интерес к самобытности локуса и меняются способы формирования брянского текста. Описана Покровская гора как отдельная семиотическая система, полноценно реализующая главную идею брянского текста и играющая особую роль в раскрытии образа Брянска как города-воина, исконно стоящего на рубеже русской земли. Отмечена значимость астионима Брянск в обеспечении смыслового единства брянского текста и сохранении сути древнего города с особой исторической судьбой и ландшафтом.</p>

Published: June 2018

Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate relationship
between perception of tobacco packaging pictorial warnings and the nicotine
addiction levels of smokers who admitted to smoking cessation clinic in
Malatya, Turkey. Methods: Three hundred fifty-six patients were enrolled from
the Malatya State Hospital Smoking Cessation Clinic. The characteristics of the
patients, and number of cigarettes smoked were evaluated. The Fagerström test
for nicotine dependence was used. Fourteen of the best-known and most effective
pictorial health warnings on cigarette packages were shown and evaluated. Results: The two best-known pictorial warnings in both male and female participants
were pictorial 6, “Smoke contains benzene, nitrosamines, formaldehyde, and
hydrogen cyanide” and pictorial 7, “Smoking causes fatal lung cancer”. The
third best-known pictorial warning for female was pictorial 4, “Smokers die
younger,” and for male it was pictorial 1, “Smoking may reduce blood flow and
causes impotence”. Female were most affected by pictorial 11, “Protect
children; don’t make them breathe your smoke’’, and male were most affected
bypictorial 1, “Smoking may reduce blood flow and causes impotence” (p &lt; 0.043 and p = 0.01, respectively). Fagerström scores compared with pictures
mostly known and affected by participants, the highest and lowest scores
belongs to same pictures; the highest Fagerström score was 8.29 ± 2.14 for best
known and 8.25 ± 2.19 for most affected picture is number 2; the lowest
Fagerström score was 6.46 ± 2.55 for best known and 6.56 ± 2.68 for most
affected picture is number 3. Conclusion: The
effect of pictures about the decision to quit smoking may be investigated by a
qualitative study especially for pictures 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, and 11.
Could there be any relationship between nutritional deficiencies and idiopathic chest pain in children?
Authors: KAYALI Şeyma , BELDER Nuran , GÜRLEK GÖKÇEBAY Dilek 
Published: June 2018

Objectives: Chest pain in childhood is a frequent cause of referral to pediatric
cardiology departments although cardiac etiology is very rare. Etiology is
usually unidentified and named as ‘idiopatic chest pain’. It is also well known
fact that chronic pain is associated with insuffiency of some nutritional
factors even in childhood. Our aim was to investigate if there is a
relationship between nutritional defiencies with idiopathic chest pain in
children. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 364 patients who were
referred pediatric cardiology department in one year period due to experienced
chest pain more than one time. Among these patients, a total of 109 patients
who had complete blood count, serum ferritin, vitamin B 12 and 25-(OH) vitamin
D levels in pediatric outpatient clinics before and the etiology was still unidentified
after a detailed cardiac and other examinations formed the study group. Age and
sex matched 59 healthy children without chest pain formed the control group.
All participants had been evaluated with a detailed physical examination and
patients in chest pain group also had an electrocardiographic ve
echocardiographic evaluation. Results: Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D
levels were lower in noncardiac chest pain group while there was no difference
between groups in term of ferritin levels and complete blood count parameters.
These difference is statistically significant particularly in vitamin D levels.Conclusions:
Our results showed that low Vitamin D levels is associated with chronic chest
pain in children. The present study provide the necessity of evaluating
nutritional parameters in children with
noncardiac chest pain.

Published: June 2018

Siklofosfamid (SP) klinikte kanser ve malign olmayan hastalıkların tedavisinde yaygın olarak kullanılan alkilleyici sitotoksik bir ilaçtır. Ancak yüksek doz SP, kan ve kemik iliğinde toksisiteye neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışma,
deneysel olarak
oluşturulmuş hematoksisitede uçucu yağların temel bileşeni olan ve antioksidan özellikleri bilinen karvakrol (KAR)’ün kan ve kemik iliğinde olası koruyucu etkilerini saptamak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma, Sprague-Dawley cinsi 63 adet erkek sıçan, her grupta
7 hayvan olacak
şekilde 9 gruba ayrılmıştır. Anestezi altında intrakardiyak kan alımı yapıldıktan sonra sıçanların femurundan kemik iliği çıkarılmıştır. İntraperitonal (i.p.) SP uygulaması doz artışına paralel olarak sırasıyla lökosit (% 77, % 86), trombosit (% 30, % 35) ve kemik iliği çekirdekli hücre sayılarını (% 82, % 94) azalttı. Siklofosfamid ile birlikte
5 ve 10 mg kg-1 KAR verilen deney gruplarındaki lökosit, trombosit ve kemik iliği çekirdekli hücre sayılarının sadece SP verilen gruplara göre önemli bir oranda arttığı görülmüştür (p&lt;0.001). Siklofosfamid nedenli myelosupresyon ve hematoksisitenin
önlenmesinde 10 mg kg-1 KAR, 5 mg kg-1 karvakrole göre daha koruyucu olmuştur. Veriler, KAR dozunun belirli oranlarda değiştirilmesiyle, artan SP dozuna karşı daha güçlü bir koruyucu etkinliğin sağlanabileceğini düşündürmektedir.

RSI Jemursari Surabaya has a queueing system for hospitalize that had reservation for elective surgical cases, but there were some cancelled service during the last five months in 2016. Reservation of hospitalize system was implemented to optimize the service especially for elective surgical cases. This study was conducted to analyze the difference of patient’s perception who going to be hospitalized for elective surgery purpose.This is a descriptive quantitive study using cross sectional approach for data collection. Simple random sampling technique was used to determine sample size to be studied. Sample criteria was patient aged 25 to 46 years old who domiciled in Surabaya. Data collected by questionnaire which given to 50 respondents. There were two types of respondent, patients that decided to cancel and patient that decided not to cancel the service. The statistical test of this study used Sample T Test with significancy 0,05. The perceptions of waiting time can determine the decision of the patients to be hospitalized for the case of elective surgical. The shorter period of waiting time (≤7 days) would minimized the probability of patients from cancelling the indent for elective surgical. This study concluded that there were dissimilarity patient’s perception regarding the waiting time of reservation for elective surgical cases.
