Self-Transformations of Health Professionals in the Field
Authors: Lachance Josée , Hovey Richard B. , Desbiens Jean-François 
Published: June 2018

Health does not arise from health care. Perhaps we are facing an impasse and should we reconsider and reconceptualize the mandate of the health system. In order to improve our influence on the culture that often prevails in our institutions as well as the health of those institutions. This article examines the changes to the mandate of the health system seen in the light of self-transformations. This vision is based on a model that illustrates the transformations experienced by physicians following a mind-body training, i.e. Awakening the Sensible Being (ASB). The model shows the transformation process reported by physicians, after experiencing self-awareness of what they are doing, through experiencing the ASB, while developing a closer relationship with themselves. As it turned out, the training was beneficial for their health. Their expanded sense of self-awareness and quality of “savoir-être” brought on by the training contributes to their impression of “feeling whole” and provides them with a quality of presence that influences the type of care they can provide to their patients by considering the individual as a whole. This point of view could bring about a shift in the mandate of the health system and improve the health of caregivers and care-receivers as well, while contributing to widen the concept of health.

Published: June 2018

An experimental investigation of refrigerant R-134a two-phase flow condensation heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop in condenser tube section of refrigeration system under different operating conditions is presented. The experimental and theoretical investigations are based on test conditions in range of 10 -17 kW/m2 for heat flux, 42-63 kg/m2s for mass flux, vapor quality 1-0.03 and saturation temperature 44 to 49˚C. The experimental tests are conducted on test rig supplied with a test section to simulate the water cooled double pipe heat exchanger, which is designed and constructed in the present work. “The experimental results have revealed that, the heat flux and mass flux have significant impacts on the heat transfer coefficient. “The heat transfer coefficient was increased with increase in heat flux and mass flux at prescribed test conditions, where the enhancement in heat transfer coefficient was about 47% and 14% for relatively higher heat flux and mass flux, respectively. “The enhancement in the heat transfer coefficient was about 51% for relatively lower saturation temperature 45.97˚C and 43% for higher vapor quality 0.88 compared to other values at constant test conditions. “The pressure drop was higher in the range of 12% and 49% for relatively higher mass flux and heat flux respectively. “The present work results have validated by comparison with predictive models and with similar research work results and the comparison has revealed an acceptable agreement.

Flow-Induced Crystallization of Polyamide-6
Authors: Massaro R. , Roozemond P. , D’Haese M. , Puyvelde P. Van 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Flow-induced crystallization has been widely studied for a variety of polymers with the main focus on polyolefins. In this work, research has been conducted on the flow-induced crystallization of another important class of polymers, namely polyamides. Different polyamides-6 with varying molecular weight have been studied. At relatively modest values of shear rate, rheology has been used to study the kinetics of flow-induced crystallization. Typical scaling relations based on the longest relaxation time and the Rouse time – usually obtained for polyolefins – are tested for the polyamides under investigation in order to identify the different regimes of flow-induced crystallization. At high shear rates, a correct rheological signal was impossible to collect. However, the rheometer was used in this case to prepare the sample to be studied ex-situ by Wide Angle X-ray Scattering experiments to determine the onset shear rate for the formation of highly oriented shish-kebab structures.
Morphology in Multilayer Blown Films of Polypropylene and Ethylene-Octene Copolymer Blends
Authors: Silva J. , Elias M. , Lima N. , Canevarolo S. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
In this work the microstructure of multilayer blown films consisting of a core layer placed between two external ones is studied. The core layer is a blend with 70 ° (w/w) of a homopolypropylene PP and 30 ° of a metallocene-catalyzed ethylene-octene copolymer mEOC (LLDPE or VLDPE), whereas the external symmetrical layers are composed of LLDPE or they have the same composition as the core layer. The PP and PE crystalline phases formed during the film blowing were investigated by thermal analysis, mechanical properties, TEM morphology and X-ray diffraction pole figures. These films successfully combine the high mechanical strength of PP with the quasi-isotropic behavior of blown PE. Multilayer film containing PP/mEOC blends, particularly blends of PP70/LLDPE30, show better balanced tensile properties when compared at crossed directions. The presence of VLDPE in the blends shifts downwards the melting and crystallization temperatures and crystallinity of PP. X-Ray pole figures suggest the occurrence of epitaxial crystallization of the PE phase upon the PP crystals in these PP/mEOC blend films.
The Effect of Cellulose Nanocrystals (CNC) on Isothermal Crystallization Kinetics of LLDPE and HDPE
Authors: Tan V. , Abdallah W. , Kamal M. R. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Highly porous agglomerates of spray freeze dried cellulose nanocrystals (SFD-CNC) were prepared, starting with sonicated aqueous suspensions of spray-dried cellulose nanocrystals powder (SD-CNC). Subsequently, SFD-CNC together with the SD-CNC (used as a reference) were incorporated into LLDPE and HDPE via melt compounding in a batch mixer to produce nanocomposites containing 0.5 wt.° and 2 wt.° CNC. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to study the thermal properties and the isothermal crystallization kinetics of the polyethylenes and the nanocomposites. Polarized light microscopy (PLM) was used to evaluate the growth kinetics and spherulitic structure of polyethylene in both the filled and unfilled polymers. Avrami crystallization kinetics models were employed to analyze the DSC results. It was observed that CNC acts as a heterogeneous nucleating agent in LLDPE nanocomposites, thus yielding nucleation controlled crystallization. On the other hand, in the HDPE systems (polymer and nanocomposites) heterogeneous nucleation was followed by 3-D growth. It was observed that CNC slightly hindered the formation of chain folding for the HDPE, similar to previous studies on the polypropylene and its nanocomposites. Spray freeze drying produced twice as many nucleation sites compared to spray dried samples and it enhanced the overall crystallization rate and the crystallinity.
Effect of Mutual Interaction between High and Low Stereo-Regularity Components on Structure Formation in Melt Spinning Process of Isotactic Polypropylene Blend Fibers
Authors: Kawai K. , Takarada W. , Kikutani T. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Fiber formation behavior of the blend fibers consisting of two types of isotactic polypropylene (iPP), i. e. high stereo-regularity/high molecular weight iPP (HPP) and low stereo-regularity/low molecular weight iPP (LPP), was investigated. In the melt spinning of blend fibers of various HPP:LPP compositions, the spinnability was improved significantly not only by blending LPP into HPP but also by blending HPP into LPP. On-line diameter measurement of the spin-line revealed that the increase of LPP composition caused the shift of solidification point to downstream, indicating that the crystallization temperature was lowered. Wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) analysis of the as-spun fibers clarified that only the α-form crystal was formed, and the crystalline orientation increased with the increases of take-up velocity and HPP weight fraction. The crystallinities obtained from the WAXD patterns of the as-spun fibers of various HPP/LPP compositions prepared at the take-up velocity of 1 and 5 km/min were lower than the values estimated based on the rule of additivity, where the difference was more prominent for the 1 km/min fibers. Analyses of crystallinity through differential scanning calorimetry measurements also suggested the suppression of the crystallization of HPP in the HPP/LPP blend fibers. The thermal analyses basically clarified that in the melt spinning process of the blends of HPP and LPP, both components crystallized independently even though the two polymers are considered to be miscible in the molten state, however, detailed analyses of melting behavior of the as-spun fibers suggested the possibility of the formation of crystals with a certain level of mixing of the HPP and LPP molecules, i. e. the mixing of a certain amount of LPP molecules into the HPP crystals and also the mixing of a certain amount of HPP molecules into the LPP crystals.
Interfacial Tension Properties in Biopolymer Blends: From Deformed Drop Retraction Method (DDRM) to Shear and Elongation Rheology-Application to Blown Film Extrusion
Authors: Lamnawar K. , Maazouz A. , Cabrera G. , Al-Itry R. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Shear and elongation rheology have been used in order to quantify the interfacial tension properties of PLA_PBAT blends. A multi-functional epoxide (Joncryl) has been chosen as a compatibilizer. From small amplitude oscillatory shear (SAOS), the results show that the addition of the Joncryl into the blends increased largely the shear rheological properties (elasticity, shear-thinning behavior) and contributed to very long relaxation process. This relaxation process is characterized by the presence of a G′ shoulder at lower angular frequencies. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) observations show a finer morphology thus confirming the improvement of interfacial properties of the compatibilized blends. The interfacial tension has been firstly quantified using the deformed drop retraction method (DDRM). These experiments elucidated some of the effects of phase elasticity on both deformation mechanism and break-up conditions. A decrease of the interfacial tension has been demonstrated for the compatibilized blends. Secondly, the same trend was also highlighted using the emulsion Palierne model (simplified and generalized versions). Finally, the interfacial tension value was extracted from the measurements of extensional properties. A good accuracy with the two latter methods was obtained. This decrease of the interfacial tension nicely demonstrated the role of Joncryl as an efficient compatibilizer for a better handling of blow PLA-PBAT film extrusion process.
Stress Optical Behavior and Structure Development in Melt Spun PEEK/PEI Blends
Authors: Ozisik R. , Cakmak M. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Stress optical behavior as influenced by blend composition has been investigated by on–line stress monitoring during melt spinning of a series of melt miscible PEEK/PEI blends. At low stresses/draw downratios, the fibers are found to be amorphous. In this range, the linear stress optical rule is obeyed and stress optical constant was found to be composition dependent. Beyond a critical drawdown, the PEEK chains first form very highly oriented ordered domains that exhibit significant translational disorder along the fiber axis. In the processing range observed, this structure persists even at high spinline deformation/stresses. While the stress optical behavior remains linear for those compositions where no stress crystallization was detected, negative deviation from initial linearity was observed when these ordered PEEK regions began to be observed indicating that birefringence saturation is approached while stresses are increased.

Seven Narratives of Religion
Authors: Schewel Benjamin 
Published: June 2018

The purpose of this article is to explore how the contemporary academic discourse on religion is, on the whole, beginning to resonate with the broader vision of religion provided by the Bahá’í Writings. Toward this end, I argue that the contemporary academic discourse on religion pivots around seven narrative frameworks, which I describe respectively as the (1) subtraction, (2) renewal, (3) transsecular, (4) postnaturalist, (5) construct, (6) perennial, and (7) developmental narratives. Each of the narratives offers unique insights into the historical evolution of religion and the changing place of religion in the modern world, many of which align with the Bahá’í teachings. I endeavor to substantiate this claim in three steps. First, I discuss the theory of secularization and the nature of its recent disruption in order to elucidate the narrative problematic that lies at the heart of the contemporary academic discourse on religion. Second, I analyze the seven narrative frameworks and show how each resonates with certain aspects of Bahá’í teachings. And third, I conclude by considering how my typology of seven narratives could be used to frame further inquiry.

Published: June 2018

OBJECTIVEThe opioid crisis is identified as a national emergency and epidemic in the United States. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors associated with opioid dependence in patients undergoing surgery for degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS).METHODSThe authors queried MarketScan databases to investigate the factors affecting postsurgery opioid use in patients with DS between 2000 and 2012. The outcome of interest was opioid dependence, which was defined as continued opioid use, > 10 opioid prescriptions, or diagnosis of or prescription for opioid dependence disorder in the period of 1 year before or 3–15 months after the procedure. Comparisons of outcomes were performed using nonparametric 2-group tests and generalized regression models.RESULTSA cohort of 10,708 patients was identified from the database. The median patient age was 61 years (interquartile range 54–69 years), and 65.1% were female (n = 6975). A majority of patients had decompression with fusion (n = 10,068; 94%) and underwent multilevel procedures (n = 8123; 75.9%). Of 10,708 patients, 14.85% (n = 1591) were identified as having opioid dependence within 12 months prior to the index surgical procedure and 9.90% (n = 1060) were identified as having opioid dependence within 3–15 months after the procedure. Of all the variables, prior opioid dependence (OR 16.29, 95% CI 14.10–18.81, p < 0.001) and younger age (1-year increase in age: OR 0.972, 95% CI 0.963–0.980, p < 0.001) were independent predictors of opioid dependence following surgery for DS. The use of fusion was not associated with opioid dependence following the procedure (p = 0.8396). Following surgery for DS, patients were more likely to become opioid independent than they were to become opioid dependent (8.54% vs 3.58%, p < 0.001).CONCLUSIONSThe majority of patients underwent fusion for DS. Surgical decompression with fusion was not associated with increased risk of postsurgery opioid dependence in patients with DS. Overall, opioid dependence was reduced by 4.96% after surgery for DS. Prior opioid dependence is associated with increased risk and increasing age is associated with decreased risk of opioid dependence following surgery for DS.

Published: June 2018

We report, for the first time, correlations between crystal structure, microstructure and magnetofunctional response in directionally solidified [110]-textured Fe83Ga17Erx (0 < x < 1.2) alloys. The morphology of the doped samples consists of columnar grains, mainly composed of a matrix phase and precipitates of a secondary phase deposited along the grain boundary region. An enhancement of more than ~275% from ~45 to 170 ppm is observed in the saturation magnetostriction value (λs) of Fe83Ga17Erx alloys with the introduction of small amounts of Er. Moreover, it was noted that the low field derivative of magnetostriction with respect to an applied magnetic field (i.e., dλs/dHapp for Happ up to 1000 Oe) increases by ~230% with Er doping (dλs/dHapp,FeGa= 0.045 ppm/Oe; dλs/dHapp,FeGaEr= 0.15 ppm/Oe). The enhanced magnetostrictive response of the Fe83Ga17Erx alloys is ascribed to an amalgamation of microstructural and electronic factors, namely: (i) improved grain orientation and local strain effects due to deposition of Er in the intergranular region; and (ii) strong local magnetocrystalline anisotropy, due to the highly anisotropic localized nature of the 4f electronic charge distribution of the Er atom. Overall, this work provides guidelines for further improving galfenol-based materials systems for diverse applications in the power and energy sector.
