Authors: Kumar Vijay , . Harshvradhan , Bhavana Kranti , Bharti Bhartendu 
Published: August 2018

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The peak nasal inspiratory flow is an objective measurement of nasal airway obstruction. It also helps in assessing response to treatment regardless of etiology. With this background this study was undertaken to establish diagnosis and monitoring treatment efficacy of PNIF in patients of allergic rhinitis and deviated nasal septum.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This prospective observational study involved 150 subjects who were selected among the patients attending the outpatient department of ENT and Head-Neck surgery, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna. Thorough history was taken of all patients followed by general systemic and ENT examination. Each subject was asked to complete a SNOT 20 questionnaire. SPSS software was used for data analysis. </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Out of total 150 subjects, 50 had deviated nasal septum (DNS), 50 had allergic rhinitis and 50 were normal subjects. Normal subjects had mean PNIF value 80 liter per minute with a range of minimum to maximum; 60 L/min to 150 L/min. Patients with symptomatic deviated nasal septum (DNS) had mean PNIF value 50 L/min with a range 20–80 L/min. Patients with symptomatic allergic rhinitis had mean PNIF value 65 L/min with a range of minimum 40 L/min to maximum 90 L/min.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> On OPD basis, measurements of PNIF using Youlten peak flow meter can easily suggest anatomical &amp; pathological variations in the nose and nasal cavity and can correlated well with patient’s symptoms and severity.</p>

This educational application uses a combination of multimedia elements such as video, audio, and text to create an engaging and interactive storytelling experience that teaches children about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths (STEM) topics.
The app consists of three parts: an animated story, a short quiz, and downloadable colouring pages. Upon opening the app, the user is prompted to watch the animation first, with learning objectives presented for the chosen topic. After the short, subtitled, five-minute video, in which the viewer has the opportunity to pause and rewind, the user is then directed to either the quiz or the colouring pages, which reflect the material presented in the video. This intuitive and logical organization ensures that the informative video is a precursor for the interactive activities and consequently enables learning through reflection and repetition.
Through accessible language, the current module, “Water Cycle,” seamlessly integrates an original, engaging story and memorable characters with pedagogical elements that explain how rain forms (evaporation, condensation, precipitation), the importance of water, and the problems associated with the lack of rain. The simple, five-question quiz contains multiple question types and uses audio, text, and pictures to provide children with multiple avenues for identification and learning. Through the quiz, children are required to make intelligent decisions regarding what they have learned. Feedback is given in the form of gamification, with correct answers being positively reinforced by the attainment of gold stars, and completion of the quiz resulting in a personalized certificate of achievement for that module. A myriad of colouring pages, available for use within the app or for individual download, reflect familiar themes and characters and continue to provide some interactivity after the module has been completed.
Available in English and Arabic, this new, free application currently only contains one subject module, with more scheduled to be released in the future. With superior graphic design, no ads, and no in-app purchases, the possibility for distractions and unintended purchases are removed. Despite these desirable features, the video and narrative itself could be more interactive on the textual and visual level by incorporating hotspots for touching, swiping, and exploring. I would recommend it for use in public libraries and by teachers in elementary schools for children aged 5 to 9.

On the Spectrum by J. Gold
Authors: Campbell Sandy 
Published: August 2018

Gold, Jennifer. On the Spectrum. Second Story Press, 2017
This story is about Clara, a teenage girl who lives in a dysfunctional family. Her divorced parents live in the US and France with their new partners. Clara’s mother is an ageing ballerina, who has an eating disorder that has led to osteoporosis. She has raised Clara to have an unhealthy obsession with food and food restrictions. There is a particularly pathetic description of Clara feeling too guilty to secretly keep even one of her Halloween candies, which her mother has trained her to throw down the garbage chute, after she has gone door-to-door in her costume.
Clara moves to Paris, France for the summer to be with her father, stepmother and ten-year-old stepbrother, Alistair, who is on the autism/Asperger’s spectrum. Gold paints a picture of a child who is “neurotypically different,” exhibiting lack of interpersonal skills, taking things literally, having no verbal filter and being easily overwhelmed by noise, smells, small spaces, heights and crowds. Finally, to round out the summer cast, there is Michael, a black ethnic Angolan baker, who becomes Clara’s boyfriend.
Usually being “on the spectrum” refers to autism/Asperger’s, but Gold is trying to point out that eating disorders also exist on a sort of spectrum. She uses Alistair’s bluntness as a socially acceptable method of commenting on facets of eating disorders. She arranges to have the most uncomfortable comments and pointed questions come from Alistair’s mouth. While the depiction of autism/Asperger’s is accurate and even Clara’s seemingly intuitive knowledge of how to manage Alistair is believable, Michael’s “helping” Clara with her eating disorder is less so. Through the arc of the story, Clara comes to acknowledge that she has an eating disorder. However, that this should result simply from the encouragement, and sometimes annoyance and disappointment of a new boyfriend is unrealistic. Were it that simple, eating disorders would have been cured long ago. However, this novel does give readers an opportunity to explore two mental disorders in a sympathetic way.
Recommended for public libraries and junior high and high school libraries.

O perfil construtivo de três fortificações da antiga Capitania de Pernambuco nas primeiras décadas do século XVII, período anterior à ocupação holandesa, revelou, através de dois remanescentes (Forte de São Francisco da Barra, de 1606, e Forte de São Francisco de Olinda, de 1620) e de iconografias (Forte de São Jorge, de 1590), que essas construções foram influenciadas por modelos descritos em tratados de fortificação europeus da época. Além do mais as adaptações à realidade de material, mão de obra, recursos e postura colonizadora impuseram certas restrições e adaptações. Identificar essas transformações foi o objetivo principal desta pesquisa.

Limitations and improvements of the energy balance closure with reference to experimental data measured over a maize field
Authors: MASSERONI DANIELE , CORBARI CHIARA , MANCINI MARCO 
Published: August 2018

The use of energy fluxes data to validate land surface models requires that energy balance closure conservationis satisfied, but usually this condition is not verified when the available energy is bigger than the sumof turbulent vertical fluxes. In this work, a comprehensive evaluation of energy balance closure problems isperformed on a 2012 data set from Livraga obtained by a micrometeorological eddy covariance station locatedin a maize field in the Po Valley. Energy balance closure is calculated by statistical regression of turbulentenergy fluxes and soil heat flux against available energy. Generally, the results indicate a lack of closure witha mean imbalance in the order of 20%. Storage terms are the main reason for the unclosed energy balance butalso the turbulent mixing conditions play a fundamental role in reliable turbulent flux estimations. Recentlyintroduced in literature, the energy balance problem has been studied as a scale problem. A representativesource area for each flux of the energy balance has been analyzed and the closure has been performed infunction of turbulent flux footprint areas. Surface heterogeneity and seasonality effects have been studied to understand the influence of canopy growth on the energy balance closure. High frequency data have beenused to calculate co-spectral and ogive functions, which suggest that an averaging period of 30 min may misstemporal scales that contribute to the turbulent fluxes. Finally, latent and sensible heat random error estimationsare computed to give information about the measurement system and turbulence transport deficiencies
ANGLO-AMERİKAN HUKUKUNDAN KITA AVRUPASI HUKUKUNA – ÖZEL HUKUKTA DE MINIMIS KURALI

Karşılaştırmalı
hukukun işlevsel denklik ilkesi bir hukuk düzeninde somut hukuki soruna
getirilen çözümden yola çıkılarak, bir başka hukuk düzeninde o kuruma işlevsel
olarak denk hukuk kurumlarının tespitini gerektirir.

De minimis, özellikle Amerikan hukukunda sıklıkla yargı
tarafından başvurulan bir kurumdur. Bu
kurum, önemsiz zararların tazmin edilmemesini veya dava edilememesini
sağlamaktadır. Buna karşılık yazılı hukuk kurallarını hukukun birincil kaynağı
olarak kabul eden kıta Avrupası ülkelerinde açıkça de minimis kuralı olarak nitelendirebileceğimiz bir kurala
rastlanmamaktadır.

Anglo-Amerikan
hukukunda sıklıkla kullanılan bu kurumun, kıta Avrupası hukuk düzenlerinde
birebir karşılığı bulunmasa da, karşılaştırmalı hukuk bakış açısıyla
yaklaşıldığında aynı işlevi gören kuralların izlerini tespit etmek mümkündür.
Özellikle haksız fiiller ve komşuluk hukukundaki bazı düzenlemelerin, önemli ve
önemsiz zararlar ayrımı yaptığı görülmektedir.Avrupa
Birliğinde bazı alanlarda hazırlanan direktifler, üye ülkelerin bu kurumu iç
hukuklarına almaları sonucunu doğurmuştur. Bunlardan en bilinenleri rekabet
hukukuna ilişkin düzenlemeler, ayıplı ürünlerin neden olduğu zararlardan doğan
düzenlemeler ve fikri haklar alanında yapılan düzenlemelerdir.

De Minimis kuralına
Avrupa’da hukukun birleştirilmesi çalışmaları kapsamında da yer verildiği
görülmektedir. Nitekim bu gelişmeler altında de minimis kuralı kıta Avrupası hukuklarına yabancı bir kurum
değildir.
