More of a Father, or More of an Employee? The Conditions of Working Men Raising Children in Poland
Authors: Kotowska-Wójcik Olga , Luty-Michalak Marta 
Published: January 2019

[full article, abstract in English; abstract in Lithuanian]
The qualitative study, conducted in 2016, was divised to explore the respondents’ perceptions on balance between their roles as employees and as parents, as well as the similarities and differences between their expectations and experiences. Using data collected from semi-structured, single-person interviews with 27 fathers of young children, living in Warsaw, Poland, we identify and explore ways in which the participants construct their description of the work-life balance, especially in the perspective of family obligations.
By analyzing the data on the work-life balance, our study makes a unique contribution to the literature by drawing attention to the circumstances of how fathers deal with everyday decisions, some living in families with partnership relations, and how it pertains to their attitudes in terms of being fathers while failing or managing the work-life balance. The moment of family life cycle (e.g. just married couple, couple with small children, couple with teenagers, etc.) particularly the experiences of fatherhood, illustrates the different narratives of respondents. Our findings show the demand for implementing more flexibility of work into the employment market, which is especially important for parents.
Summary
A qualitative research, conducted as a pilot study titled The Contemporary Father – at the Crossroads of Expectations and Reality, was conducted in Warsaw in 2017. The data analysis showed that fathers with full families (husband, wife and children) do express their willingness to participate in their family lives, and especially to spend time with their children. On the other hand, most of the respondents pointed out that their main responsibility is to provide the financial security of their families, so being active at the employment market is very important for them. Meanwhile, most of the fathers expressed satisfaction from having wives/partners that are also actively employed. Fathers face difficulties in achieving a work-life balance in their lives, as the dual model of having both a career and a family seems to be the most appropriate for them. The findings show that the respondents face the constant dilemma of having to choose where to devote their time – to the family or the workplace.

Werner mesomelic dysplasia
Authors: Kochenova Evgeniia A. , Agranovich Olga E. , Trofimova Svetlana I. , Nikitina Anna P. 
Published: January 2019

Introduction. The term “mesomelic dysplasia” refers to a group of disorders wherein limb shortening is most pronounced in the middle segment (forearm and leg) of the extremities. Werner mesomelic dysplasia is characterized by absence or hypoplasia of the tibia, preaxial polysyndactyly on the hands and feet, as well as by triphalangeal thumbs, absence of a patella, and fibular bone dislocation. Molecular genetic causes of the disease are mutations at position 404 of the regulatory element (ZRS) of the SHH gene in the LMBR1 gene (OMIM 188740).
Clinical case. A girl with triphalangeal thumbs and polydactyly of the hands, right hip dislocation, tibia hypoplasia, fibular dislocation on both sides, and preaxial polydactyly of the feet was examined and treated at the age of 1 year. Considering the clinical and radiological picture, the girl was diagnosed with Werner mesomelic dysplasia. To verify the disease, a molecular genetic examination of the child was performed. A variant of replacement of 230 T > C in the regulatory element of the ZRS of the SHH gene was discovered in the literature.
Discussion. Differential diagnosis can be made with Laurin-Sandrow syndrome, which is characterized by doubling of the ulna and fibula with the absence of the radius and tibia and preaxial polydactyly/syndactyly of the hands and feet. The presence of nasal defects (particularly involving the columella) distinguishes this condition from other syndromes, which was not shown in this clinical observation.
Conclusion. We report the clinical case of an autosomal-dominant disease, Werner mesomelic dysplasia, which is a rare pathology with a typical clinical picture combined with congenital hip dislocation, which was not previously described. The molecular genetic examination confirms the presence of a pathogenic variant of the ZRS element of the SHH gene, which causes the development of Werner’s mesomelic dysplasia, but the mutation variant was not registered before, which requires an additional examination of the child’s relatives.
Integrated local development in Mediterranean marginal territories: The case study of Casentino (Italy), Algarve (Portugal) and Corse (France)
Authors: Ricci Andrea , Biggeri Mario , Ferrannini Andrea 
Published: January 2019

Today, Mediterranean marginal territories are facing tremendous challenges but at the same time they have relevant endogenous resources, which are often underutilized and unexploited and that could be pivotal for the strategic recovery and economic and social development of the whole European territory. In the last decades, they have been characterised by a progressive abandonment in favour to urban areas, with consequent high social costs such as the hydrogeological instability, degradation and soil erosion.
This research investigates the potential active role of Mediterranean “marginal territories” with respect to the re-formulation, adaptation, interpretation and implementation of the European development policies.
The paper aims to verify the idea that Mediterranean marginal territories, in the sense of weak, mountainous and inland, could take part at the construction of their own development trajectories and actively contribute to the harmonious development of Europe, creating new jobs opportunities and stable development patterns. Moreover, the paper aims to formulate policy implications and strategies for the studied areas and for Mediterranean marginal territories more in general.
The structure of this paper starts from general theoretical arguments and a short description of European policies for development; it follows with the diagnostic analysis of three local territorial contexts – i.e. Casentino (Italy), Algarve (Portugal) and Corse (France) – and then it comes back on the general European issues proposing implications and lessons learnt in the analysis of the development processes at the local level.
Determination of Maximum Allowable Safe-Core-Retrieval Rates

Published: January 2019

SummaryCores can be considered the ground truth only if we eliminate or minimize their damage during core cutting, tripping, and surface handling. Such damage would adversely alter their properties. An important source of core damage is during tripping, when quick decompression might cause damage because of the induced microfractures. In this paper, a state-of-the-art geomechanical model is introduced and applied for determining the safe-tripping rates.The thermo-poroelastic (T-P-E) geomechanical approach used in this study includes the mathematical derivation of the diffusion time required for the imposed pore-pressure difference to dissipate while also considering the effects caused by the temperature changes, mudcake, and swabbing. The work uses different approaches for fluid modeling in a transient manner during tripping for the water-bearing, gas-bearing, and oil-bearing cores.In this work, the hydraulic diffusivity and the fluid type have been introduced as the main factors controlling the maximum allowable safe-tripping rates. A relationship between the allowable decompression rate and the hydraulic diffusivity will be presented for each specified fluid type. In addition, the results indicate that water-bearing cores can be safely tripped as quickly as the normal tripping speed of the wireline, even with a core that has a permeability as low as 0.01 md. For gas- and oil-bearing cores, the safe-tripping rates are determined to be much less than the water-bearing cores because the fluids expand with the pressure drop along the journey to the surface. The results show that the tripping rate is the lowest for the oil-bearing cores, particularly in the vicinity of the bubblepoint and gas critical pressure (because the gas expansion pushes the oil and applies significant viscous forces across the core pore throats).This paper is a novel work developing T-P-E and mathematical models for the case of core tripping considering the effects of pore-pressure change, temperature change, mudcake, and swabbing. The hydraulic diffusivity and the fluid type have been considered as the controlling factors. The approach has been applied for modeling the tripping of water-, gas-, and oil-bearing cores to provide maximum allowable tripping rates.
An Experimental Investigation of Gas-Production Rates During Depressurization of Sedimentary Methane Hydrates
Authors: Almenningen Stian , Fotland Per , Fernø Martin A. , Ersland Geir 
Published: January 2019

Summary
Sedimentary methane hydrates contain a vast amount of untapped natural gas that can be produced through pressure depletion. Several field pilots have proved the concept with days to weeks of operation, but the longer-term response remains uncertain. This paper investigates the parameters affecting the rate of gas recovery from methane-hydrate-bearing sediments. The recovery of methane gas from hydrate dissociation through pressure depletion was studied at different initial hydrate saturations and different constant production pressures in cylindrical sandstone cores. Core-scale dissociation patterns were mapped with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and pore-scale dissociation events were visualized in a high-pressure micromodel. Key findings from the gas-production-rate analysis are that the maximum rate of recovery is only to a small extent affected by the magnitude of the pressure reduction below the dissociation pressure, and that the hydrate saturation directly affects the rate of recovery, where intermediate hydrate saturations (0.30 to 0.50) give the highest initial recovery rate. These results are of interest to anyone who evaluates the production performance of sedimentary hydrate accumulations and demonstrate how important accurate saturation estimates are to prediction of both the initial rate of gas recovery and the ultimate-recovery efficiency.
Research on Testing a Prototype of an Expandable Profile Liner in a Directional-Well Section in a High-Fidelity Laboratory Environment
Authors: Zhao Le , Zhang Hong , Tu Yulin , Duan Qingquan 
Published: January 2019

Summary
The application of an expandable profile liner (EPL) for leakage plugging in a directional section of deep and ultradeep wells is still at the exploratory stage. In this study, the finite–element software Abaqus (2014) is used to optimize the section of nominal diameter (Φ) 5⅞-in. (149.2-mm) EPL that can meet the plugging and strength requirements. The internal–pressure–limit test, crushing test, overall string–sealing experiment, and mechanical shaping experiment are performed, and the optimal welding procedure is developed. After the hydraulic–expansion and mechanical shaping process, the EPL is found to meet the design size and construction requirements. Simulating the trip-in and the expansion process at different reaming–wellbore diameters, with a comprehensive consideration of the expansion requirements and ensuring that the adhesion force effectively seals the EPL against the wellbore, it is better to set the diameter of the reaming wellbore to 6.889 in. (175 mm) with borehole curvature at 30°/98.42 ft (30°/30 m). Using the curved–steel tube to simulate the borehole curvature at 30°/98.42 ft (30°/30 m) with four different inclination–change and azimuth–change combinations, it is feasible to apply the EPL technology (EPLT) for the directional–well–section–leakage plugging when the inclination change or azimuth change is not too large.

Published: January 2019

Abstract
Background: Contrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE) is a well known complication of iodinated contrast agents during angiography and vascular interventions. It can be manifested as hemiparesis, cortical blindness, speech changes, parkinsonism, confusion, seizure, and coma etc. Most of the reported CIE cases were transient and reversible. Irreversible fatal CIE cases were rarely reported. All the fatal CIE cases reported before used the ionic high osmolar contrast agents. Here we document a heretofore unreported fatal CIE after digital subtraction angiography（DSA）using iopamidol, which is a type of non-ionic monomer low osmolar contrast agent.
Case presentation: A 71-year-old woman was admitted to our neurology department for paroxysmal buzzing of the brain. The cerebral magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) indicated arteriosclerosis of cerebral arteries and stenosis of bilateral middle cerebral arteries. Then she took DSA for further diagnosis. Total amount of iopamidol used during the procedure was 110 ml. The patient manifested headache during the procedure, and then had dizziness with nausea and vomiting. Although the patient was treated with anti-edema drugs, the deterioration was continuous, she gradually became coma state, and suffered irreversible fatal cerebral edema, which had been confirmed by cerebral computed tomography (CT) scans. At last, the patient died 56 days after the procedure due to irreversible fatal cerebral edema.
Conclusions: This report indicates that iopamidol induced encephalopathy may not always have a benign outcome and can cause irreversible fatal cerebral edema.

Is Irrigating Soybean Profitable In Uruguay? A Modeling Approach
Authors: Montoya F. , Otero Á. 
Published: January 2019

Core Ideas

AquaCrop model was suitable for simulating the soybean biomass and yield at harvest.
Goodness of fit obtained for all variables of soybean is considered satisfactory.
Supplemental irrigation increase the soybean yield under different El Niño/Southern Oscillation cycle.
Profit margins were around 6 to 36% higher under irrigation than rainfed conditions.
Rainfed crop may be suitable when the sale price was lower than 350 US$ t–1.
Use of climatic models to predict the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle coupled with decision support system tools can optimize management of the major crops grown in South America. AquaCrop model was applied in this paper based on field data from a soybean deficit irrigation trial in the northwestern region of Uruguay. The AquaCrop model was suitable for simulating the biomass and yield at harvest, as well as the soil water content of the soybean crop root zone, with an acceptable goodness of fit (Willmott aggregation index [IoA] > 0.80) and low estimation errors (NRMSE < 20%). After calibration and validation, AquaCrop was used to simulate 35 characteristic years for this area to analyze soybean production under irrigation and rainfed conditions, as well as to study the effect of different sowing dates and the ENSO cycle on soybean yield. This research concluded that irrigation would significantly increase the crop yield, providing stable yields for farm systems regardless of the sowing date and the ENSO cycle considered. Additionally, irrigation reducing the dependence on favorable weather for planting, allowing more flexibility in sowing date for growers. The calculated profit margins were between 6 to 36% higher using irrigation than under rainfed conditions when soybean sale price was higher than 275 US$ t−1. With lower soybean sale price, the rainfed crop may be the most desirable option for growers regardless of ENSO cycle.

Published: January 2019

Abstract
A novel sewage sludge treatment process is developed in which sludge anaerobically phosphorus (P) released with the temperature control/ultrasonic treatment and recovery with human urine are incorporated to a conventional anaerobic/aerobic (A/O) process. The results showed that temperature affected the anaerobic P release and the maximum orthophosphate (PO43–P) release rate was 21.68 mg PO43–P/(g MLVSS.h) at 20 °C. The optimal specific energy of ultrasonic treatment was 15,000 kJ/kg TS, at which the solubilization degree of soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) was 37.93%, which verified that the anaerobic sludge flocs were broken and the organic matter was obviously released. Human urine and P-rich sludge stream could be verified as a feasible way of P recovery in the form of struvite. The output of P in the combined A/O treatment process consisted of three pathways (i.e., effluent wastewater, sewage sludge, and P recovery). The influent P could be recovered by 22.84% and about 1.48 g/d potential struvite could be recovered from the anaerobic sludge flow using 0.27 L/d-human urine. The mass balances of COD and nitrogen (N) indicated that the combined A/O process also improved the organic mineralization and the removal of N.

Published: January 2019

Introduction:One of Iraq’s major environmental problems is a large amount of residual iron produced by the industrial sector, which is stored in domestic waste and landfills. The reuse of construction waste gives two aims, the first is to remove large quantities of pollution resulted from these waste, the second provides cheap resources for concrete aggregates.Methods:This study conducted a series of experiments and tests to test the feasibility of reusing this iron slag and recycled concrete aggregate in concrete mixtures. Different percentages of iron filings were used in the concrete mixture at 0, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1%. Tests are done to evaluate the quality of cast iron concrete which include compressive strength (fcu), flexural strength (fr), indirect tensile strength (ft), SEM and modulus of elasticity (Ec) for four sustainable concretes.Results and Conclusion:The results show that the iron filings amount is increased to 1.0% which resulted in increasing percentage of compressive strength (fcu), flexural strength (fr), indirect tensile strength (ft), SEM and modulus of elasticity (Ec) with 10%, 32%, 42% and 11% for Geopolymer Concrete with Recycled Aggregate (GCRA), 9%, 52%,31% and 17% for geopolymer concrete with natural aggregate (GCNA), 10%, 19%,26% and 12% for Normal Concrete with Natural Aggregate (NCNA) and 23%, 19%, 67% and 14% for Normal Concrete with Recycled Aggregate (NCRA), respectively.
