A Portrait of the Mehmandar: Accompanying Hajji Baba, of Ispahan, to England
Authors: Pelea Alina 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
There are few professions and professionals to be constantly perceived as ambivalent. But for interpreting and interpreters, this seems to be the norm, rather than the exception. On the one hand, there has always been a sense of fascination for these extraordinary people who speak so many languages and have such a wide knowledge of the world. On the other, they have inspired reluctance, distrust or even fear. While literary works sometimes reflect one or the other perception, James Justinian Morier’s The Adventures of Hajji Baba, of Ispahan, in England (1828) reflects both and provides us with an insight into the nature and circumstances of the situation. By following the attitude towards the mehmandar throughout the novel, the present paper considers a set of memes that seem to be still valid today. The reasons this is so relate to features inherent in the profession, the privilege of understanding both sides ‘of the coin’, the power tamper with information, the risk of misunderstanding, etc.

Published: June 2019

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the mandibular morphometric measurements of male and female rabbits using three-dimensional digital model and real bone measurements. Ten (5 female, 5 male) rabbits with no bone deformities were used in the study. Three-dimensional models were produced from two-dimensional microcomputed tomography images of the rabbit’s mandible. Biometric data were obtained by using the same measuring points over both three-dimensional models and real bone samples. There was only a significant main effect of gender for the greatest length of the mandible, length from aboral border of the alveolus of third molar teeth to infradentale, length of the diastema, height of the vertical ramus (measured in projection), distance from the incisor to the oral border of mental foramen, distance from aboral border of mental foramen to caudal border of mandible, distance between retroalveolar foramen and caudal border of mandible. For these measurements, calculated data for females are significantly higher than the males (p<0.05). It was found to be statistically significant between methods only for the length of the cheek tooth row and height of the vertical ramus values (p<0.05). In this study, it was understood that 3D morphometric measurements for bone tissue could be used with accuracy and reliability especially in anatomy and orthodontics areas as an alternative to traditional measurements made with a digital caliper.

Abstract
The ingestion of sharp foreign bodies that cause penetrating wounds to the gut and surrounding structures and its consequences are not often seen in equine medicine. When animals ingest these objects, they tend to have colic episodes and peritonitis, as well as to be prone to abscess formation. The aim of the current case report is to describe liver abscesses and peritonitis, with abdominal adhesions, caused by a penetrating metallic foreign body that was swallowed by a Crioulo mare, which had been showing a history of recurrent colic episodes for 4 months. The animal was subjected to median celiotomy due to suspect enterolithiasis. During the procedure, abdominal adhesions, blood clots in the intestinal loops and enteroliths were observed. These severe changes led to the mare death while she was still recovering from anaesthesia. Necropsy findings revealed abscess formation in the liver, abdominal adhesions, diffuse peritonitis and a penetrating foreign body in the liver. The relevance of the present case study lies on the fact that the assessed mare presented a stable chronic condition, although she had peritonitis and abdominal abscesses. This observation reinforces the importance of assessing all abdominal organs in horses with recurrent colic episodes. The evaluation of abdominal organs through complementary exams and necropsy can help identifying foreign objects inside these animals and it contributes to the challenging diagnosis of colic syndrome.

Published: June 2019

Abstract
The descriptive geometry constitues the foundation of the engineering sciences, so necessary to the specialists of this field. The aim of this paper is to establish the intersection curve between two cylinders and their unfoldings, by using the programmes:AutoCAD and Mathematica. We used the classical method and we first establish the intersection curve and then the cylinders unfoldings. To do this, we used the AutoCAD program. The same unfoldings can be obtained by introducing directly the curve equations (which are inferred) in Mathematica program.

Direct analogy RLC series AC circuit refers to the connection between complex velocity and complex electrical intensity, mechanical impedance and electrical impedance, etc. Reverse analogy RLC parallel AC circuits refers to the connection between complex velocity and complex electrical voltage, mechanical impedance and electrical admission, etc.
Kant Meets Cyberpunk
Authors: Schwitzgebel Eric 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
I defend a how-possibly argument for Kantian (or Kant*-ian) transcendental idealism, drawing on concepts from David Chalmers, Nick Bostrom, and the cyberpunk subgenre of science fiction. If we are artificial intelligences living in a virtual reality instantiated on a giant computer, then the fundamental structure of reality might be very different than we suppose. Indeed, since computation does not require spatial properties, spatiality might not be a feature of things as they are in themselves but instead only the way that things necessarily appear to us. It might seem unlikely that we are living in a virtual reality instantiated on a non-spatial computer. However, understanding this possibility can help us appreciate the merits of transcendental idealism in general, as well as transcendental idealism’s underappreciated skeptical consequences.
The inverted classroom in health care – learner in the focus of digital change. Contribution to the HoGe conference 2018 „Digital learning and teaching“ / Der Inverted Classroom in den Gesundheitsberufen – Lernende im Fokus des digitalen Aufbruchs. Beitrag zur HoGe-Tagung 2018 „Digitales Lernen und Lehren“

Abstract
Digitization demands specific professional skills to meet current and future requirements. Especially in health professions, stakeholder are faced with the challenge to keep up with technological developments and changes in working structures, learning and communication processes. In addition, there is a need to modernize qualification structures and to beter connect theory and practice. The Inverted Classroom Model (ICM) provides a promising conceptual framework to approach these tasks systematically and provides suitable starting points to be integrated into existing structures. The ICM swappes classic teaching and learning spaces and links them using digital media. Thus there is more space and time, to create, to learn independently and to cooperate. This article presents the development and implementation of an ICM for the training of speech therapists and further training of hygiene professionals, based on their demands. Thereby conditions of success are derived. For this purpose, the results from two evaluations are stated – a target group analysis (standardized questionnaire) and the testing of the technical and media pedagogical implementation (focus groups). The results of the standardized survey provided a heterogeneous picture of the experiences in coping with digital media and clarified the need for practice-oriented and flexible learning opportunities. Based on this, a learning platform with appropriate communication and learning tools as well as learning content was developed. In focus groups, strengths and weaknesses of the implementation were identified, which led to technical and didactical adjustments. Due to the strong target group orientation, significant added value could be generated, which leads to higher acceptance, and is the prerequisite for sustainable integration. With the ICM it is possible to initiate active learning processes in both target groups and to establish a fruitful relationship between theoretical knowledge and practical experience.
How can problem-based learning be realised in blended learning format? Contribution to the HoGe conference 2018 „Digital learning and teaching“ / Wie kann problembasiertes Lernen im Blended-Learning-Format umgesetzt werden? Beitrag zur HoGe–Tagung 2018 „Digitales Lernen und Lehren“

Abstract
Students can prepare themselves for the growing demands in the eHealth sector by using media-supported teaching settings during their training. Problem-based learning (PBL) is a learner-centered educational approach based on authentic problems. The 7 Jump Method is an established method for the implementation of PBL and for the theoretical treatment of problems in class. PBL is subject to the danger of „understeering the learning process” (Müller Werder, 2013). E-learning can make process control more eficient and structure it beter through role-specific templates. Using the example of a course of study in nursing at the Höhere Fachschule in Switzerland, the first possibilities for implementation in the health care professions are pointed out and critically discussed. The present case study was intended to answer this question: How can problem-based learning be realised in blended format?
Determination of Free Doxycycline Concentrations in the Plasma and Milk of Sheep and in the Plasma of Rabbits by using the HPLC Method
Authors: Mileva Rositsa 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
A fast and sensitive HPLC method was validated in order to analyze doxycycline in plasma and milk of sheep and in plasma of rabbits. The samples were processed with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). After the centrifugation step, a supernatant containing extracted doxycycline and internal standard oxytetracycline was injected into the HPLC system with PDA detection. The method showed linearity in the range of 0.125 - 2.5 µg/mL for ovine plasma, 0.125 – 5.0 µg/mL for ovine milk, and 0.125 – 1 µg/mL for rabbit plasma. The inter-assay precision varied between 5.69 – 13.55 %. Values for intra-assay precision were between 0.62 – 8.67 %. Accuracy was higher than 90% in all of the tested concentrations in the three types of biological matrices. The mean extraction recovery was higher than 90 % for all matrices. In order to handle only with free drug concentrations, microfiltration of standard solutions with low (0.25mg/mL), medium (0.5mg/mL) and high (1.0mg/mL) concentration was performed. A percentage for correction of the quantified doxycycline was calculated. The most significant adjustments should be made at the low concentrations. The correction for rabbit plasma is 24.63±5.03%, for ovine plasma is 20.10±8.01% and for milk–16.68±0.04 %. This method can be used for routine determination of doxycycline concentrations for pharmacokinetic studies and further dosage adjustment.
Synthesis and optical properties of CdSe/CdS core/shell nanocrystals
Authors: Gadalla A. , Abd El-Sadek M. S. , Hamood R. 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
This paper attempts to describe an effective method for producing a composite of quantum dots consisting of CdSe (core) with CdS (shell). This nanoparticles composite was synthesized from modified organometallic precursors. The sizes of the nanoparticles were estimated from X-ray diffraction data using Debye-Scherer formula and compared with high resolution electron microscopy (HRTEM) and optical spectra. The shape of CdSe/CdS NPs is nearly spherical and revels that the CdS shell with the thickness ~0.6 nm almost fully covers the CdSe core (higher contrast). Using UV-Vis spectroscopy, a systematic red shift in the absorption and emission spectra was observed after the deposition of CdS which confirms the shell growth over the CdSe core. In the CdSe/CdS core/shell structure, the holes are confined to the core, while the electrons are delocalized as a result of similar electron affinities of the core and the shell. The increased time of synthesis resulted in shell thickness increase. The observed properties of prepared CdSe/CdS QDs demonstrate the capability of the nanocomposite for using in the optoelectronics and photonics devices.
Salt and the Development of Human Settlements with Balnear and Climateric Potential within the Romanian Intra-Carpathian Space
Authors: Romanescu Gheorghe 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Deposit salt in Romania has extremely important reserves, considered even inexhaustible at the current exploitation level. The biggest salt resources are found in the intra-Carpathian arch, represented by Transylvania and Maramures. Most sources of salt outcrops are disseminated on the edge of the Transylvania Depression, in the diapir folds formed following salt migration. The salt mines – Turda, Praid, Ocna Mures, Ocna Dej, Ocna Sibiu, Cojocna, Ocna Sugatag – represented an important source of incomes, reason for which important human settlements formed around them. All these localities have turned nowadays into balneal and climacteric resorts that fully use the beneficial effect of the atmosphere within galleries (Praid, Turda). The most important incomes from tourism are represented by the galleries of the mines of Turda (one of the 10 wonders of the modern world) and Praid. The balneal and climacteric resorts also developed around the salt lakes installed in the areas of collapsed mines: Sovata, Ocna Sibiu, Ocna Dej, Cojocna. The most well known human settlements and the most important balneal and climacteric resorts, implicitly, are disseminated on the external branch of the Transylvania Depression (Sovata, Praid, Ocna Mures, Baile Figa, Cojocna thermae, Ocna Dej, Ocna Sibiu) and of the Maramures Depression (Ocna Sugata, Costiui, Vad). The oldest mining exploitation is situated at Figa (county of Bistrita-Nasaud) was founded around the year AD 3000. From this point of view, it is one of the oldest mining exploitations on Earth. The existence of the world-important archaeological site can invigorate the development of the surrounding localities, but mostly of the city of Beclean.

Authors: Chirica Ștefania , Luca Mihail , Lateș Iustina 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Water losses are present in all water supply system pipes. Their parameters and value vary depending on the constructional and functional features of the pipes (diameter, material, pressure, embedding environment, location, position etc.). The phenomenon is present in all water supply systems networks in Romania as well as globally. The water supply pipes within the regional water supply system are located in areas with diversified relief, from plateaus and hills to plains. The studies and researches were carried out in the geographical placement area of the Timişeşti-Iaşi pipeline. The geographic area studied is enclosed in Siret and Prut hydrographic basins. The paper aims to establish a correlation between the detection methods of water leaks from pipes and the areal relief features in Iaşi County. At the same time, it is highlighted the impact of the variation of the geographical relief characteristics on the water loss management on different type of pipes.
The Impact of the Absence of Communication on the Success of Rehabilitation Projects of the Built Heritage: The Case of the Old City of Constantine

Published: June 2019

Abstract
Since the 1960s of the 20th century, research on the success of projects have been updated and are increasing in cyclical projects (event-centered projects) which appear regularly in excess of budget, or even sometimes incomplete when the event or subject of their creation is over. Within this context, with the appointment of Constantine as the Arab Capital of Culture 2015, the Algerian Government has registered 76 rehabilitation projects for the old buildings of the city, under the guardianship of the Ministry of Culture. The last has designated the Office National de Gestion et d’Exploitation des Biens Culturels Protégés (OGEBCP) (National Office for the Management and Exploitation of Preserved Cultural Property) as a contracting authority assistant, given its considerable experience in building management in the city of Tlemcen, Capital of Islamic Culture in 2011. During our investigation, none of the selected projects has been completed, while the allocated budget has been entirely consumed. Why? Who is responsible for this failure? Our role is to investigate the weak links in these rehabilitation projects to avoid future similar failure. It seems like the success of a project depends on the behavior of the main actors responsible for it as well as a number of technical skills that seem difficult to bring together in a single individual. Therefore, we focus on the actors of the project. The process of conservation operations is a delicate one to conduct for the success of the project. The conditioning of shorter deadlines in full eventcentered projects is in fact one of the most difficult challenges. We propose to analyze the management of communication between the project actors assuming that, an inappropriate management could have negative impacts on the success

Abstract: Analysis of reinforced concrete frame with steel braces has been done to compare the behavior of the open frame structure with reinforced concrete structure with steel braces. Three models of 2D open frame structure with 3, 4 and 5 floors were made and analyzed in SAP2000 v17 with intermediate detailing according to Indonesian Codes for Seismic Load (SNI 1726: 2002). 3-span frame structure with a span length of 6 m and level height of 3,5 m were designed according to SNI 1726: 2002, and then re-analyzed with special detailing according to New Indonesian Codes for Seismic Load (SNI 1726: 2012). After that, it was added with braces as seismic retrofitting. Two types of braces (X and concentric inverted V) were used in this study and analyzed with conventional analysis and stage construction analysis according to their stages of implementation. From the analysis results, several structure components that analyzed according to SNI 1726:2012 provitions were experience over-stressed. After retrofitted with steel braces, those components fulfill strength provition according to SNI 2847:2013 about structural concrete regulations for buildings. In addition to that, displacements that occurs on braced frame are smaller than displacements of the open frame structure with ratio of 0.08, 0.12, and 0.18 for X-brace frames with 3,4, and 5 storey and 0.07, 0.11, and 0.16 for inverted-V brace. With staged construction analysis, displacements of X-braced frame structure increased by 14.38%, 13.62%, and 9.98% from the conventional analysis results for structure with 3, 4,and 5 storey. For structure with inverted-V brace, displacements increased by 15.83%, 14.29%, and 10.09%.
