Authors: Barkoukis Vassilis , Mouratidou Katerina 
Published: October 2018

The present study investigated whether achievement goals have differential effect on sportspersonship orientations in competitive sport and the moderating role of several demographic characteristics. Participants were 407 team sport athletes. The athletes completed a questionnaire including measures of achievement goals, dosage sportspersonship orientations and demographic characteristics. The results of the analyses indicated that all achievement goals were significant predictors of sportspersonship orientations. Furthermore, medications demographic characteristics moderated several achievement goals ? sportspersonship orientations relationships. These findings provide insightful information on the application of the 2×2 achievement goal approach in sports and the role of athletes? demographic characteristics.
Influence of Cultural and Historical Context on the Moral Competence in Modern Society (in Terms of Georgia and Russia)
Authors: Kaznina Eka 
Published: October 2018

The break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991 sharply cast the relationships between the Republics of post-Soviet space and Russia back, mutual trust was lost, economic and cultural interaction was practically stopped. The global changes of the 1990s in the field of political order, social and economic lifestyle in the countries of the former socialist camp brought up to severe demographic situation (depopulation), impoverishment of its significant part, criminalization of society and, what is quite important, to negative changes in consciousness and behavior of its population, including deformation of ethical code of personality, for long time fixing the acute social-cultural situation. A. Zhuravlev & A. Yurevich call that the moral collapse. It is worth mentioning that the economic crisis of the 90s in Georgia was considerably more serious than in Russia. Attempt to teach norms of “new” morale were done by M. Saakashvili (2009–2013), who declared that during 20 years he would be able to change the mentality of Georgians – rejection of the Russian culture and language up to prohibition and adherence to anti-Russian policy at a level of the State. The author reports on that project and she intends to find the difference of how moral competence is understood by the generation which was formed in 1990s and the generation formed under the Soviet Union.
Development Model of Household Contacts as a Peer Support to Decrease the Prevalence of Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Authors: Suharyo Suharyo , Mubarokah Kismi 
Published: October 2018

Tuberculosis is a global threat, caused mortality of 15 million people in 2014. Drug supervisor is the main strategy in patient adherence. Hence, the need for strengthening the strategy testing and counseling patients by a household contact as a peer support in overcoming the disease. Non randomized one-group pretest-posttest design was used. The identification of the characteristics of the household contact person who will be peer support was done through focus group discussions. Seventeen household contacts became a model of peer support that accompanied each individual patient. Differences in results were used the Wilcoxon test. There was a significant increase of knowledge (p value = 0.03), adherence (p value = 0.02), prevention practice of transmission by patients (p value = 0.03), and the prevalence of pulmonary TB was decreased by 41% after peer support intervention. Peer support model can be used as an alternative to increase the role of drug supervisor.

Objective
To assess the effect of somatostatin analogs (SSAs) on mortality in relation to disease control of acromegaly after pituitary surgery.

Design
A retrospective study in two large tertiary referral centers in The Netherlands.

Methods
Overall, 319 patients with acromegaly in whom pituitary surgery was performed as primary therapy between January 1980 and July 2017 were included. Postoperative treatment with SSA was prescribed to 174 (55%) patients because of persistent or recurrent disease. Disease control at last visit was assessed by IGF1 standard deviation score (SDS). Adequate disease control was defined as IGF1 SDS ≤2. Univariate determinants of mortality and standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) were calculated for groups with and without SSA at any moment postoperatively and at last visit.

Results
In total, 27 deaths were observed. In univariate analysis, determinants of mortality were inadequate disease control (relative risk (RR): 3.41, P = 0.005), surgery by craniotomy (RR: 3.53, P = 0.013) and glucocorticoid substitution (RR: 2.11, P = 0.047). There was a strong trend toward increased mortality for patients who used SSA (RR: 2.01, P = 0.067) and/or dopamine agonists (RR: 2.54, P = 0.052) at last visit. The SMR of patients with adequate disease control who used SSA at any moment postoperatively (1.07, P = 0.785) and at last visit (1.19; P = 0.600) was not increased. Insufficiently controlled patients had a significantly raised SMR (3.92, P = 0.006).

Conclusions
Postoperative use of SSA is not associated with increased mortality in patients with acromegaly who attain adequate disease control. In contrast, inadequate disease control, primary surgery by craniotomy and glucocorticoid substitution are associated with increased mortality.
Konceptualiųjų DIEVO ir JĖZAUS metaforų tinklas Evangelijoje pagal Joną
Authors: Vaivadaitė-Kaidi Eglė 
Published: October 2018

[only abstract in English; full article and abstract in Lithuanian]
This article analyses the metaphoric language pertaining to the concepts of GOD and JESUS in the modern translation of the Fourth Gospel into the Lithuanian language (Kavaliauskas 2009). The aim of the research is to reveal the system of conceptual metaphors defining these concepts in the text. The investigation was conducted following MIP(VU) as a method of identifying metaphoric language in discourse following the framework of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory.
The study reveals that the concepts of GOD and JESUS are defined by a complex system of closely related conceptual metaphors related to each other through various conceptual mappings. The system is based on the oppositions of UP and DOWN, LIGHT and DARK, GOOD and BAD, and is constituted of the source domains of FAMILY, POWER RELATIONSHIPS, LAW, AGRICULTURE, and PHYSICAL REALITY. The most common conceptual metaphors are the GOD – FATHER and JESUS – SON metaphors. They are the basis of other cases of personification of GOD and JESUS identified, namely: KING, SHEPHERD, JUDGE, SENDER, SOWER, WINE-MAKER, etc. All these conceptual metaphors may be related through the conceptual mappings of AUTHORITY and POWER. The authority and power of the Father are passed to the Son, who comes to this world to continue the works of his Father and inherits his Father’s place in the hierarchy of the family.
Wizja dziejów Polski w twórczości Celiny Bobińskiej na łamach „Nowych Dróg” – wybrane przykłady
Authors: Pasisz Piotr 
Published: October 2018

[full article in Polish; abstract in English]
The article is an attempt to analyse the achievements of Celina Bobińska in the pages of Nowe Drogi, one of the leading magazines of leftist intelligentsia. Bobińska, as a historian, interpreted the main moments of Polish history from the turn of the 18th and 19th century, looking at them through the prism of historical materialism. The analysis will focus on selected articles by Bobińska from the turn of the forties and fifties. The research questions that will be posed are characteristic of historiography historiographer – what was the interpretation of these events and why and what other than theoretical and philosophical assumptions laid at the basis of such a vision of Polish history. Post-war years were a special moment in the history of the Polish intelligentsia, when this layer faced dilemmas of involvement on the side of building a new social order in its material, but also institutional and consciousness aspect. The construction of the latter was especially a task for the intelligentsia, which journalism used to do. Bobińska was one of the leading representatives openly on the side of Marxism (as a certain theory, but also a worldview).
Allegories of the Campus in Polish Academic Narratives
Authors: Kraszewska Marzena 
Published: October 2018

[full article and abstract in English]
In the paper, two Polish academic narratives Krzysztof Zanussi’s movie “Camouflage” (“Barwy Ochronne”) of 1976, and Wit Szostak’s novel “A Hundred Days Without Sunshine” (“Sto dni bez słońca”) of 2014 are discussed from the perspective of the use of the campus space as an image of the state. Drawing from the tradition of the British and American campus novel – a literary genre that developed in the 1950s and reached the peak of its popularity in the 1990s, the two narratives, created in two different political realities, make use of the absence of academic campuses in Poland and offer the campus as a miniature of the social space of the state in which conflicting ideas and ideologies clash, revealing the mechanisms of meritocratic privileging and hierarchization of positions. Such elements as imagery, the presentation of characters, forms of narration, literary / film techniques, use of language are analysed in order to show that they are used by the authors to stress an allegorical meaning in the analysed narratives.
Pediatricians’ Participation in Quality Improvement at the Time of Enrollment in MOC
Authors: Freed Gary L. , deJong Neal , Macy Michelle L. , Van Kenton D. , Leslie Laurel K. 
Published: October 2018

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Although national bodies have proclaimed the importance of incorporating quality improvement (QI) into the daily fabric of clinical care, the actual proportion of practicing pediatricians who participate in QI activities on an annual basis is unknown. Correspondingly little is known about pediatrician motivations for, attitudes about, and support received for QI participation.

METHODS:
Pediatric diplomates enrolling in the American Board of Pediatrics’ Maintenance of Certification program during calendar year 2016 were provided with the opportunity to complete a brief survey. A portion of the survey was focused on issues related to participation in QI programs.

RESULTS:
Survey responses were received from 8714 of the 11 890 diplomates who enrolled in Maintenance of Certification in 2016 (response rate: 73.3%). Overall, 86.6% of respondents reported participation in at least 1 QI project in the previous year. There was variation in previous-year participation in a QI project by practice affiliation categories, ranging from 79.9% for nonacademic generalists to 92.4% for academic specialists. The extrinsic requirement for QI to maintain board certification was the dominant motivator among all respondents (50.7%), followed by 2 intrinsic factors: identify gaps in practice and implement change (40.3%) and opportunity to collaborate with others (36.9%).

CONCLUSIONS:
Although the results are encouraging, despite almost 2 decades of national attention to the quality of health care and efforts to embed continual QI in health care delivery activities, ∼1 in 5 nonacademic pediatricians and 1 in 10 academic pediatricians did not report participating in any QI activities in the previous year.

Peculiarities of laser cladding with feeding of the filler tape
Authors: Yelistratov A. P. 
Published: October 2018

Semiconductor laser has some features that make it an efficient tool for surface treatment of metals, in particular for surface strengthening. It provides high enough concentration of energy in the heat spot, possibility to adjust process parameters in wide range. Insignificant, compare to other types of laser, energy density eliminates an extensive penetration and internal melting of the metal, which is very important for surface treatment and for the wear resistant covering.Method of metal layers deposition by feeding a metal strip and its melting by laser beam was developed. Metallurgical processes of the deposit lay forming were investigated; method of feeding the filler strip was optimized.
AR Headsets Give Oil and Gas Sector the Quicker Fix
Authors: Jacobs Trent 
Published: October 2018

Predictive algorithms have captured the imagination of industrial firms the world over because of the promise they hold for predicting show-stopping machine failures. But no matter when a digitally-prophesized breakdown comes, you still need someone to go out and fix the equipment the old-fashioned way—or maybe not.
Augmented reality (AR) headsets are challenging the status quo by enabling faster repairs of mission-critical systems such as topdrives and gas compressors. Their arrival into the oil and gas sector is being led by the largest equipment manufacturers that say the technology’s chief contribution is its ability to mitigate the industrywide bane of downtime.
Attached to a typical hardhat, these industrialized wearable computers combine video cameras, AR displays, and solid networking systems into a single unit. This gives the dispersed engineering team, vs. a lone technician in the field, a new way to collaborate on the toughest equipment-related problems.
Earlier this year, a rig crew working in south Texas ran into trouble with a piece of equipment supplied by NOV that had stopped working correctly, and no one on-site knew how to fix it. “So they fired up the communications box, put the hard-hat and headset on, and had an answer from engineering within 10 minutes,” said Christopher Boehm, a service manager with NOV’s control systems group.
Boehm is leading the implementation of the AR headsets at NOV, which have been rolled into a maintenance service it has branded TrackerVision.
The voice-recognition software running inside these units enables users to call out commands like “wiring layout,” which prompt the headset to pull up a relevant engineering diagram. The user can move his or her head to scan the diagram, or say “zoom” to focus in on a key area and then “freeze document” to maintain a hold on the image as they do the work.
But people can still get lost in the maze of wires and circuit boards found in a lot of modern oilfield equipment. This is when it is a good idea to use the headset’s two-way communications, using cell service or low-Earth-orbit satellites, to dial up the on-call expert. As the technician holds his or her view over a piece of equipment, the expert watching on the other end can even use a telestrator to draw circles around the components to replace, or which ones to leave alone.
Industry Shows Strong Interest
NOV is so confident about these enabling features that it is using AR headsets to support the successful implementation of one of its most important new products, the NOVOS automated rig control system, and has sent units to each of the rigs running on the platform.
Technology Focus: Reservoir Simulation (July 2018)
Authors: Bailey William 
Published: October 2018

Technology Focus
A radical digital revolution is happening all around us (or so we are told). This digital domain is moving so rapidly that new acronyms are being added to our lexicon almost weekly (BD, DA, DNN, GAN, and ML, to name but a few). So how will this affect reservoir simulation? Speaking for myself, I really do not know. However, I came across an interesting article from the Harvard Business Review that examined the effect of innovative information technology (IIT) on some large US-based consumer businesses, and, while specific benefits of IIT were clearly stated, the authors opined, “In times of radical technological change, there’s a lot of figuring out to do. [We] have to understand what new technologies can do.” Applying this to reservoir simulation, we apparently need to understand better when and, more importantly, when not to use such technology—to appreciate its bounds, its limitations, its range of validity, and so on.
Deep neural networks (DNNs), for example, are excellent at labeling images (cat, dog, axolotl, etc.). However, some futurists have an impression that IIT can solve almost any kind of problem, sometimes leading to extravagant claims about its potential utility.
Futurists are optimists in nature (the ones I have seen certainly are). However, such buoyant proclamations require some counterbalance through honest questions, healthy discussion, and a reluctance to accept such bold assertions as dogma.
Without wishing to appear too skeptical, I came across an article from The Royal Society that is well worth quoting directly: “No matter their ‘depth’ and the sophistication of data-driven methods, in the end, they merely fit curves to existing data. Not only do these methods invariably require far larger quantities of data than anticipated … they can also fail in circumstances beyond the range of the data used to train them because they are not designed to model the structural characteristics of the underlying system.” While this article focuses on biology and medicine, the authors apply their keen insight to any multiscale and complex system, which covers our domain of interest. I feel that a tempered, modestly restrained approach to IIT is indeed wise (as applied to reservoir simulation), at least until we have had time to fathom where this digital revolution is leading.

Rapid Evaluation of Development Ideas has Engineers Thinking: What If?
Authors: Rassenfoss Stephen 
Published: October 2018

What started as a project to automate the tedious task of creating and updating well production forecasts at Range Resources led to a system that challenges engineers there to question the status quo.
The program has evolved from predicting future well output to showing engineers the many ways their ideas could affect asset performance, including a feature often missing from engineering software, instant estimates of the likely cost and return of each option considered.
“As Range was developing the Marcellus, they knew their teams of engineers and geologists were being creative and effective, but as the volume of data and number of databases grew, so did the painstaking job of merging and manipulating data.
One of the things that struck me about a year ago was that engineers were coming to me with ideas, with more thoughts and creative solutions than a year or two before,” said Ken Brown, Vice President of Reservoir Engineering for Range’s Appalachian Division. The independent operator is primarily focused on the Marcellus, where production is mostly natural gas and NGLs.
Automation has given engineers more time to think. “Because of the sheer volume of data, we were spending an enormous amount of time on a routine task, thus reducing the time available for critical thinking,” he said.
The new tools allow the team to quickly determine if ideas, that might otherwise be viewed as long shots, are actually worth pursuing. Each idea is evaluated based on a variety of measures, including widely used financial performance metrics.
The Range system relies on what computers do well, keep track of more variables and how they interact than a human can in real time. And it can offer alternatives. As a result, Brown said, “it might provide you with options you have not thought of before.”
For example, the analysis may point out that rather than drilling and completing a five-well pad, it would be better to drill four wells and use the proppant that would have been used in the fifth well to more intensely fracture the other four wells.
The program can quickly predict how production would be affected by various versions of that approach, as well as how that would affect the costs and returns on the investment.
If increasing proppant by a significant amount improves recoveries and returns, what if we add even more? Setting up that simulation would take less than 5 minutes, said Matt Ockree, Senior Reservoir Engineer for Range who is the liaison to Novi, the company developing the software.
Convincing analysis generated quickly greatly enhances the consideration of ideas that require changes in the operation, and people’s habits.
