The role of the governance of social welfare institutions in reducing abuse from the point of view of the abused: A study applied to vulnerable women in the governorate of Riyadh Region, Saudi Arabia
Authors: Alzamil Al-jawharah Abdulaziz 
Published: March 2019

This study aimed at examining the availability of the dimensions of governance within social care institutions to reduce the level of abuse in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The survey method was used with random sampling and the sample was composed of (375) abused females in the provinces of Riyadh in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The data that was collected with a questionnaire that was designed to elicit information from abused females in the provinces of Riyadh and was statistically analyzed using SPSS17. The findings of the study showed that the majority of the abused females have a university degree (a bachelor degree) and their percentage was (35.5%). According to age variable, most of the abused females were younger than 30 years of age and made up (34.7%) of the sample. The study also showed that there are statistically significant differences between the dimensions of governance available within social care institutions to reduce the level of abuse from the point of view of the abused females in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the variable of academic qualification related to the dimension of social accountability, as the value of counted (P) was = 25.737. In terms of the differences and years of benefiting from social care working in the field protection from abuse related to the dimension of social accountability, the value of counted (P) was = 16.107 whereas the value of tabulated (P) at the point of (374, 0.05) =1.19k. In terms of the transparency dimension, the value of counted (p) was = 97.457; and in terms of the dimension of integrity, the value of counted (P) was = 37.636. The study concluded with some recommendations that may contribute in achieving better protection for those who are at risk of abuse.

Published: March 2019

The study aimed to investigate grade-ten Social Studies students' perceptions of geographical concepts. It analyzed the effect of the cognitive-conflict strategies on correcting students' geographical misconceptions and their attitudes toward Social Studies. The study sample consisted of 51 grade-ten female students from Al-Batinah-North schools. The sample was divided into two groups: an experimental group n= 25 and a control group n=26. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers used a semi-experimental design and designed and used two instruments: the first was a geographical-concept test, consisted of 20 multiple-choice items, the other was an attitude scale towards the subject, consisted of 22 items. The results of the study revealed that the students had a deficiency in understanding the geographical concepts. There were statistically significant differences at a=0.05 between the score average of the experimental group of students who took the post concepts test. However, there were no statistically significant differences at a=0.05 in the students’ attitudes towards the subject. The study highlighted the importance of the use of alternative perceptions for geographical concepts and fixing them using new teaching strategies.
The Reaction of Stock Markets in the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries to Economic Policy Uncertainty in the United States
Authors: Alqahtani Abdullah Saeed S , Ouyang Hongbing , Ali Adam 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
This study investigates if the changes in economic policy uncertainty in the U.S. can explain the returns on stock markets of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The study also examines how the stock market returns of the six GCC countries respond to the changes in economic policy uncertainty in the U.S. The results demonstrate that changes in economic policy uncertainty in the U.S. are not significantly linked with the returns on all the stock markets except Oman stock market, which shows a statistical significant negative relationship with the changes in economic policy uncertainty in the U.S. Controlling for the effects of the U.S. stock market and oil price, returns on all the six GCC markets including Oman show insignificant coefficients. The returns on all the stock markets do not respond to the changes in economic policy uncertainty. The results of Granger causality tests show that the changes in economic policy uncertainty in the U.S. do not cause the returns of all the six GCC stock markets.

Published: March 2019

Abstract
Layered magnetic heterostructures are very promising candidates in spintronics in which the influences of interfaces, surfaces and defects play a crucial role. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study has been performed for studying in detail the chemical state and electronic structure of Co2FeAl (CFA) Heusler alloy interfaced with Si substrates. XPS survey scan spectra have clearly shown the presence of Fe, Co and Al signal along with the signal due to Si. The presence of Co, Fe and Al signal confirms the formation of CFA alloy phase. Our XPS results support our previous study [1] on CFA/Si structure in determining the magnetic and transport properties across the interface.

Published: March 2019

Abstract
Present paper reports optical and electrical properties of samarium doped CdSe nanocrystalline thin film which was grown on a glass substrate by chemical bath deposition method (CBD). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that the deposited films were nanocrystalline with sphalerite cubic structure. The average crystallite size calculated from FWHM of XRD peaks was found to be 10.11 nm. The bandgap of the Sm doped CdSe nanocrystalline thin films was calculated to be 1.91 eV to 2.22 eV. The optical absorption edge of undoped (pure) and Sm doped CdSe films was obtained between 650 nm to 640 nm showing blue shift as compared to bulk CdSe. Sm doping further enhanced the photoconductivity of these films. The I-V characteristic confirmed the suitability of prepared films for photosensor applications.

Authors: Prasad B.B.V.S. Vara , Ramesh K.V. , Srinivas A. 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Co–Zn nanocrystalline ferrites with chemical composition Co0:5Zn0:5Fe2O4 were synthesized by sol-gel and combustion methods. The sol-gel method was carried out in two ways, i.e. based on chelating agents PVA and PEG of high and low molecular weights. In auto-combustion method, the ratio of citric acid to metal nitrate was taken as 1:1, while in sol-gel method the chelating agents were taken based on oxygen balance. All the three samples were studied by thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis for the identification of phase formation and ferritization temperature. The synthesized samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and FT-IR spectroscopy without any thermal treatment. The measured lattice constants and observed characteristic IR absorption bands of the three samples are in good agreement with the reported values showing the formation of a cubic spinel structure. The crystallite sizes of all samples were determined using high intensity peaks and W-H plot. Size-Strain Plot method was also implemented since two of the samples showed low crystallite sizes. The least crystallite size (5.5 nm) was observed for the sample CZVP while the highest (23.8 nm) was observed for the sample CZCA. Cation distribution was proposed based on calculated and observed intensity ratios of selected planes from X ray diffraction data. All structural parameters were presented using experimental lattice constant and oxygen positional parameter, and they correlated with FT-IR results. Magnetic measurements were carried out using vibrating sample magnetometer at room temperature to obtain the characteristic parameters such as saturation magnetization, coercivity, remanence, squareness ratio and Bohr magnetons. Among all, the sample synthesized via citric acid autocombustion method displayed a remarkably higher magnetization of 53 emu/g and the remaining two samples displayed low magnetization values owing to their smaller crystallite sizes.

Background
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an emerging public health concern in high-income countries and can cause acute and chronic hepatitis. Reported numbers of indigenously acquired HEV infection have increased in the past decade in many European countries. Since 2010, the National Reference Centre (NRC) for Hepatitis Viruses has been testing samples of suspected hepatitis E cases in Belgium.

Aim
In this surveillance report, we present the epidemiological trends of symptomatic HEV infections in Belgium, from the distribution by age, sex and geography to the molecular characterisation of the viral strains.

Method
Serum samples of suspected cases sent to the NRC between 2010 and 2017 were analysed for the presence of HEV-specific IgM and RNA. Virus was sequenced for genotyping and phylogenetic analysis in all samples containing sufficient viral RNA.

Results
The NRC reported an increase in the number of samples from suspected cases (from 309 to 2,663 per year) and in the number of laboratory-confirmed hepatitis E cases (from 25 to 117 per year). Among 217 sequenced samples, 92.6% were genotype 3 (HEV-3), followed by 6.5% of genotype 1 and 0.9% of genotype 4. HEV-3 subtype viruses were mainly 3f, 3c and 3e. HEV-3f was the most common subtype until 2015, while HEV-3c became the most common subtype in 2016 and 2017.

Conclusion
The increasing trend of HEV diagnoses in Belgium may be largely explained by increased awareness and testing.

Authors: Wardani Surti 
Published: March 2019

ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui ketepatan komunikasi berdasarkan enam elemen komunikasi dalam proses komunikasi antara manajemen dengan Awak Kabin di PT. Garuda Indonesia. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif dan menggunakan pendekatan fenomenologi dengan model paradigma naturalistik (naturalistic inquiry). Data penelitian diperoleh melalui observasi partisipatif, wawancara mendalam dan studi dokumentasi, sementara teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis induktif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa manajemen menerapkan sistem keterbukaan dalam berkomunikasi dengan awak kabin, termasuk mengutamakan komunikasi secara tatap muka dan juga mempraktikkan human relation sebagai landasan berkomunikasi. Penyusunan pesan juga dilakukan dengan penyesuaian; apabila bersifat persuasif , akan digunakan kalimat persuasif, begitu pula apabila pesan bersifat informasi (narasi) atau argumentasi. Sedangkan pemilihan channel dilakukan dengan memperhatikan jika penerima (receiver) bisa menyandi balik (decode) agar bisa memunculkan feedback positif, termasuk juga dengan memanfaatkan media sosial seperti Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, dan Whatsapp. Sementara hambatan yang ditemui dalam proses komunikasi yang berlangsung ialah tingginya mobilitas awak kabin dan keengganan awak kabin untuk berkomunikasi dengan pihak manajemen (komunikasi ke atas) meskipun keterbukaan komunikasi telah dilakukan. Kata Kunci: Komunikasi organisasi, ketepatan komunikasi, Garuda Indonesia ABSTRACTThis research aims to determine the fidelity of communication based on the six (6) communication elements in the communication process between management and cabin crew at PT. Garuda Indonesia. This study is qualitative research, using phenomenology approach with naturalistic inquiry model. The research data was obtained through participative observation, in-depth interview and documentation study, while the data analysis technique uses inductive analysis. The results of this study shows that management has implement an openness system in communicating with cabin crew, including prioritizing face-to-face communication and also practicing human relations as the foundation to communicate. Preparation of messages is done with adjustment; persuasive sentences are used if the messages is persuasive, as well as if the message is information (narrative) or argumentation. The channel selection is choosed with attention so receiver (receiver) can encode back (decode) in order to generate positive feedback, including utilizing social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Whatsapp. The obstacles encountered in the communication process was the high mobility of cabin crew and the reluctance of the cabin crew to communicate with management, even the openness communication system has been implemented.

Published: March 2019

Introducción: El embarazo en mujeres que padecen acondroplasia requiere atención pormenorizada tanto en la madre como en el feto, debido a sus trastornos tanto funcionales como orgánicos que presentan las pacientes.
Objetivo: Describir un caso clínico de Acondroplasia en gestante.
Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo, presentación de caso clínico.
Resultados: Se describe el caso de una mujer acondroplasica que ingresó al Servicio de Obstetricia del Hospital Regional Docente Ambato con un embarazo de 20 semanas de gestación, de concepción espontánea. Se realizó el seguimiento de la paciente hasta término, solucionando las complicaciones que se presentaron a lo largo de su embarazo secundarias a su condición, hasta llegar a la planificación del parto por cesárea.
Conclusiones: La principal limitación de la ecografía para el diagnóstico prenatal de la acondroplasia es que el acortamiento de los huesos largos puede no ser aparente antes del tercer trimestre del embarazo. La identificación de otras anomalías como la mano en tridente o la nariz en silla de montar depende de la experiencia del examinador y del nivel de sospecha clínica. El diagnóstico de acondroplasia fetal prenatal es certero cuando uno o ambos padres padecen de acondroplasia. La conducta anestésica quirúrgica debe ser individualizada. El abordaje de la vía respiratoria duplica el riesgo preexistente de la paciente obstétrica

Published: March 2019

AbstractThe effects of isothermal heat treatment on microstructures of an A356 alloy containing rare-earth gadolinium (Gd) were investigated to obtain an optimum semi-solid structure. Our results revealed that the primary α-Al phase of the semi-solid A356 alloy containing Gd was significantly refined and that its morphology was spherical or near-spherical. Increases in holding temperature and prolongation of holding time led to an initial decrease in size during the primary α-Al phase, followed by a gradual increase. Solid–liquid interfacial tension resulted in the spheroidization of the primary α-Al phase.
TÜRKİYE SİNEMASININ CEZAEVLERİ
Authors: MAKTAV Hilmi 
Published: March 2019

Türkiye cezaevlerinin tarihi Türkiye’nin de tarihidir. Türkiye sinemasının cezaevinde geçen veya cezaevi temasını kullanan filmleri de bu tarihten kesitler içerir. Makalenin çıkış noktasını, Foucault’nun “dispositif” ve “episteme” kavramları ışığında, süreç içinde cezaevlerinde yaşanan değişimlerin sinemaya nasıl yansıdığını gösteren bir izlek sunulabileceği tezi oluşturmaktadır. Zindan betimlemeleri içeren fantastik tarihi filmlerin, cezaevlerinin sinemadaki “arkeolojik alanı” olarak incelenebileceği düşünülmüştür. Günümüze uzanan süreçte “hapishane” kelimesinin yanı sıra ağırlıklı olarak “cezaevi” kelimesinin kullanımı da siyasi erkin cezaevine yönelik politikalarının ve toplumdaki cezaevi algısının değişimiyle ilişkilidir. Makalede, Türkiye sinemasının cezaevlerine bakışı, bu değişimi gösteren bir dönemselleştirmeyle; 1940’ların hapishaneleri, 12 Mart 1970 sonrası cezaevlerinde yaşanan değişim, 12 Eylül 1980 sonrasının cezaevleri ve 2000’li yılların F Tipi Cezaevleri çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Sinemada mahkûm profilleri, siyasi mahkûmların hapishane koşulları, hapishanedeki sömürü ilişkileri, mahkûmlar üzerindeki baskılar ve işkence incelenen başlıca konulardır. Hapishanede geçen veya hapishane temasını kullanan filmler çekildikleri dönemin epistemesi içinden okunurken, sinemanın hapishane dispositifinden yararlanan, dispositifi kullanan ve aynı zamanda bu dispositifin unsurlarından olan bir sanat olduğu düşüncesinden hareket edilmiştir.
Going "Green" in the Delivery and Supply Chain: Evidence and Insights
Authors: Shamlou Paxton Victoria , Vakharia Asoo J. 
Published: March 2019

Given increased consumer interest in green products and practices, this paper will focus on examining sustainable practices within the shipping, packaging and delivery supply chain. “Green” shipping, packaging, and delivery focuses on transporting products from providers (e.g., manufacturers, retailers) to customers to reduce CO2 emissions, landfill waste, and overall negative impact to the environment. For example, (a) the use of electric powered vehicles in the delivery supply chain has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions; and (b) using recycled cardboard or materials that are biodegradable would reduce landfill waste. This paper examines the potential benefits of these green practices in the delivery supply chain. Our results are that a case can be made for use of electric-power vehicles and their potential benefit to reduce CO2 emissions in an environment where power generation in non-coal based. In other words, using electric cars in all delivery supply chains isn’t always a solution; firms must recognize the significant impact of the power generation process in their operating area. From a packaging perspective, there is documented consumer interest on using environmentally friendly material for consumer products. However, depending upon the market segment size, this might not always result in better financial outcomes for companies.

Background Hospital readmissions are common among in- center hemodialysis patients, but little is known about read-missions among peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Using national administrative data, we aimed to examine the burden and correlates of hospital readmissions among U.S. PD patients. Methods Among 10,505 adult U.S. PD patients with an index admission (first admission after 120 days on dialysis) between 31 January 2011 and 30 November 2014, readmissions were defined as new hospital admissions within 30 days of index discharge. Multivariable logistic regression was used to obtain adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for readmission. Results Overall, 26.8% of index admissions were followed by a readmission. Readmitted patients were more likely to have congestive heart failure (31.0% vs 25.4%; p < 0.001) and peripheral arterial disease (11.6% vs 8.6%; p < 0.001) and had longer index admission length of stay (median = 4 vs 3 days; p < 0.001) than those who were not; age, sex, and race did not differ by readmission status. After adjustment for patient and index admission characteristics, longer length of stay (≥ 4 vs < 4 days, OR = 1.48, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.35 – 1.62), peripheral arterial disease (OR = 1.31, 95% CI 1.16 – 1.57), congestive heart failure (OR = 1.25, 95% CI 1.13 – 1.39), and ischemic heart disease (OR = 1.12, 95% CI 1.01 – 1.24) were associated with higher likelihood of readmission; index admission due to peritonitis vs other causes was associated with lower likelihood of readmission (OR = 0.80, 95% CI 0.70 – 0.92). Conclusions Our results suggest that, particularly in the absence of a PD-related cause of hospitalization such as peritonitis, PD patients may be at high risk for readmission and may benefit from closer post-discharge monitoring.
