Published: September 2018

Abstract
The main objective of this study is to progress the structure and segment the images from hemorrhage recognition in retinal fundus images in ostensible. The abnormal bleeding of blood vessels in the retina which is the membrane in the back of the eye is called retinal hemorrhage. The image folders are deliberated, and the filter technique is utilized to decrease the images specifically adaptive median filter in our suggested proposal. Gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), grey level run length matrix (GLRLM) and Scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) feature skills are present after filtrating the feature withdrawal. After this, the organization technique is performed, specifically artificial neural network with fuzzy interface system (ANFIS) method; with the help of this organization, exaggerated and non-affected images are categorized. Affected hemorrhage images are transpired for segmentation procedure, and in this exertion, threshold optimization is measured with numerous optimization methods; on the basis of this, particle swarm optimization is accomplished in improved manner. Consequently, the segmented images are projected, and the sensitivity is great when associating with accurateness and specificity in the MATLAB platform.

Abstract
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes/strontium hydroxyapatite (MWCNT/SH) composite was synthesized, where CNTs were applied to improve the properties of HAP and increase the reinforcement of the composite. The composite CNTs/Sr-HAP and its precursor Sr-HAP were successfully applied in removal of Co(II) and Eu(III) ions from aqueous solutions. Sorption of Co(II) and Eu(III) onto the synthesized sorbents was investigated as a function of contact time and pH. The synthesized sorbents highly removed the studied radionuclides from their aqueous solutions with necessary time of 6 h to reach equilibrium. The maximum sorption capacity was 33.31 and 48.93 mg g−1 for Co(II) sorption onto Sr-HAP and CNTs/Sr-HAP composite at pH 4.5, while it was 115.74 and 127.11 mg g−1 for sorption of Eu(III) onto Sr-HAP and CNTs/Sr-HAP composite at pH 2.5, respectively. Desorption of Co(II) and Eu(III) from loaded samples was studied using various eluents and maximum recovery was obtained using FeCl3 and HCl solutions. Co(II) was completely separated from Eu(III) by a ratio of 85.1 % using Cd(NO3)2 as an eluent in CNTs/Sr-HAP composite packed column.

AbstractThe reaction of sodium N-morpholine acetate with selenic and sulfuric acid and uranyl nitrate results in the formation of two novel open-framework compounds, |Na(Hmfa)|[(UO2)2(SeO4)3(H2O)](H2O)2(NaUSe) and [Na2(SO3OH)(Hmfa)]|(UO2)(SO4)2| (NaUS), respectively. Despite identical synthetic procedures, sulfate structure dramatically differs from selenate compound. Their common feature is an open-framework featuring two-dimensional system of channels occupied by protonated morpholino-N-acetic acid species. Coordination of Na atoms is different. InNaUSe, [(UO2)2(SeO4)3(H2O)]2−layers are pillared by {Na2O8(H2O)2(Hmfa)2} complexes to form a microporous framework. InNaUS, UO7and SO4polyhedra of [(UO2)(SO4)2]2−chains share common oxygen atoms with Na-centered tetrameric complexes providing a three-dimensional integrity of the structure. Both of the compounds are characterized by IR spectroscopy.
A New Isotropic Specimen Preparation Method from Slurry for both Saturated and Unsaturated Triaxial Testing of a Low-Plasticity Silt
Authors: Ahmadi-Naghadeh Reza , Toker Nabi Kartal 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
A new procedure for the preparation of low-plasticity silt specimens that are isotropically reconstituted from slurry is developed for use in both saturated and unsaturated soil testing. Spatial variations of the water content and grain size distribution were examined to confirm the uniformity of the specimens (regarding void radio and segregation). The new preparation method results in a homogeneous specimen, which has a simple stress history. The repeatability of the proposed method in preparing identical specimens was verified for both saturated and unsaturated soil testing. The strength and volumetric behavior of specimens prepared by the introduced method are compared with those of moist-tamped compacted specimens and one-dimensionally reconstituted slurry specimens by performing consolidated drained triaxial tests. The microstructure of the specimens prepared with different methods was examined using Scanning Electron Microscopy and Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry. The test results indicate that silt specimens could exhibit either dilative or contractive behavior at normal consolidated conditions, depending on the microstructure.

Abstract
Quenching is an important pipe production step that can also be responsible for geometric distortions in steel parts, depending on cooling heterogeneities, thermal contractions, and changes in the steel microstructure. The quenching stage generally leads to an increase in the outside diameter (OD) of the pipes, and the prediction of the final size becomes key to assuring the quality and dimensional requirements of the product. The objective of this study was to apply simulations based on the finite element method (FEM) to water quenching in tanks to estimate the final OD of a seamless low-carbon steel pipe. This work is a first approach to developing a methodology for predicting quenched pipe distortion that depends on the process parameters used during quenching, e.g., internal and external water jets. In the available scientific literature, there are some approaches to the problem, but a consistent approach was not found, especially concerning the experimental validation of the simulation results, which is always a challenge under industrial conditions. The present research was developed in three stages: temperature measurement at several points of the pipe during the quenching process, heat transfer coefficient (HTC) calculation, and distortion calculation. The first stage was performed on an industrial scale to determine the pipe temperature distribution. Afterwards, a finite element (FE) model was set to conduct the second and third stages. The former covered the HTC prediction for inner and outer pipe surfaces using inverse analysis. Pipe distortions were predicted while taking phase transformations and deformations into account. Finally, experimental temperature profiles during heat treatment were used to predict the HTC and OD growth in the low-carbon pipes. The results of the simulations were compared with the industrial data of a quenched pipe in order to validate the methodology that was used.

Investigaciones previas sobre conducta suicida realizadas en estudiantes de medicina hallaron, como variable asociada, una alta prevalencia de vida (PV) de indicadores de conducta disocial. Tal resultado obliga a sospechar presencia de personalidad de este tipo en dicha población. Con el objetivo de aportar nuevos elementos que complementen los estudios previos, el presente artículo analiza el concepto de personalidad disocial y discute los resultados de un estudio piloto que evaluó su presencia en una muestra de alumnos recién ingresados a la Escuela de Medicina de la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. Se encontró que de 175 estudiantes, 33 resultaron positivos a indicadores de conducta disocial (19% de PV) durante una primera evaluación; de este grupo, 30 se presentaron a una segunda evaluación diagnóstica, de los cuales cinco superaron el punto de corte para personalidad disocial, y 11 obtuvieron puntaje de sospecha de tal desarrollo. Sobre estos resultados sugerimos que la universidad debiera aceptar la responsabilidad de continuar investigando esta área, crear intervenciones preventivo-terapéuticas tempranas e innovaciones curriculares para reducir el riesgo de producir profesionales tecnicamente bien entrenados pero con minusvalías morales.
Lekcja religii szansą dla ewangelizacji
Authors: Kochel Jan 
Published: September 2018

W Kościele istnieje ciągła potrzeba głoszenia Ewangelii młodym. Kościół pragnie dobrze rozeznać i zidentyfikować najbardziej skuteczne sposoby głoszenia Dobrej Nowiny kolejnym pokoleniom. Lekcja religii może stać się miejscem głoszenia Dobrej Nowiny. Środowisko szkolne ewangelizatorzy mogą ożywić przez takie treści, takie środki, taką dynamikę, które natchnione są Duchem Bożym. Od starożytności w Kościele są obecne różne modele ewangelizacji. Ewangelizacja ta zawsze czerpała ze słowa Bożego. Współczesny ewangelizator powinien najpierw rozeznać sytuację, w której przychodzi mu zwiastować słowo Boże i posłużyć się najbardziej odpowiednią strategią ewangelizacji. Te strategie są możliwe do wykorzystania w katechezie. Dziś katecheza korzysta z wielu metod ewangelizacji. Często spotyka się w niej metody wypracowane w Szkole Nowej Ewangelizacji. To staje się szansą dotarcia z orędziem Ewangelii do nowych pokoleń i rozbudzenia w nich radości wiary.
Homilia z udziałem dzieci
Authors: Cygański Arkadiusz 
Published: September 2018

Artykuł przedstawia zagadnienie dialogu w homilii z udziałem dzieci. Na płaszczyźnie homiletyki fundamentalnej zdecydowanie podkreśla liturgiczną naturę homilii i jej organiczny związek z celebrowaną liturgią. W nawiązaniu do etymologii źródłosłowu greckiego przedstawia homilię jako dialog Boga ze zgromadzeniem liturgicznym, który prowadzi homilista. W ten sposób wskazuje, że jest ona raczej dynamicznym wydarzeniem niż statycznym pouczeniem. Dialog jest jej fundamentalną zasadą wewnętrzną. Opisane zostały więc dwa rodzaje dialogu homilijnego między przepowiadającym i słuchaczami – wirtualny i realny z licznymi sposobami ich realizacji. Celem homilii z udziałem dzieci jest ostatecznie wprowadzenie ich do dialogu z Jezusem w liturgii, w rzeczywistość zbawczą, nie zaś zabawienie poprzez różne metody aktywizujące. Treścią zaś dialogu homilijnego mogą być sprawy i przeżycia dziecięce, ale zawsze dostatecznie wyraźnie musi wybrzmieć treść orędzia zbawczego.
Miłość większa niż śmierć w doświadczeniu mistycznym św. siostry Faustyny
Authors: Chmura M. Nulla 
Published: September 2018

Obchody 80-lecia śmierci św. siostry Faustyny Kowalskiej, polskiej świętej, inspirują do pochylenia się nad jej duchową spuścizną, jaką pozostawiła w Dzienniczku, pisanym przez ostatnie cztery lata swego życia. Jawi się nam jako apostołka Bożego miłosierdzia, inspiratorka ruchu apostołów Bożego miłosierdzia, obejmującego wszystkie kontynenty, mistyczka i mistrzyni życia duchowego. Jej doświadczenie Boga miłosierdzia daje nowe spojrzenie także na człowieka w kontekście jego umierania, śmierci i wieczności. Siostra Faustyna pozostaje ciągle wiarygodnym świadkiem, a zarazem niedościgłym wzorem zawierzenia Bogu, który nieustannie pochyla się nad człowiekiem. Jej Dzienniczek to dobra szkoła uwielbienia Boga w jego miłosierdziu i przygotowania się do spotkania z Nim w godzinie śmierci.
Duch Święty w pismach św. Faustyny
Authors: Pochwat Józef 
Published: September 2018

Siostra Faustyna Helena Kowalska (1905–1938) należy do jednych z największych mistyczek dwudziestego wieku. Jej teksty zanotowane w Dzienniczku i Listach to świadectwo życia wewnętrznego i przeżyć mistycznych na najwyższym poziomie. Sekretarka Bożego miłosierdzia raz jeszcze odkryła bogactwo tajemnicy wcielenia Syna Bożego, ukazując w niej rolę nie tylko Maryi, ale także Ducha Świętego, dzięki któremu poczęła Jezusa Zbawiciela. Święta Faustyna mocno wierzyła w obecność Ducha Świętego i doświadczała z Nim spotkań. Ona dostrzegała niezwykłe działanie Trzeciej Osoby Bożej, szczególnie w trzech sakramentach: bierzmowania, Eucharystii i pokuty. Święta przeżywała miłość Bożą i doświadczała jej dzięki mocy Ducha Świętego. Czymś zatem naturalnym była jej modlitwa skierowana do Parakleta, który był dla niej rzeczywistością realną, żywą, której doświadczała w całym swoim życiu.
Aksjologiczne wymiary nędzy w Dzienniczku Faustyny Kowalskiej – perspektywa językoznawcza
Authors: Bizior Renata 
Published: September 2018

Dzienniczek św. Faustyny Kowalskiej jest tekstem religijnym oraz tekstem mistycznym w sensie filologicznym i teologicznym. Ten rodzaj tekstu z uwagi na sytuację komunikacyjną oraz szerszy kontekst zewnętrzny może cechować się modyfikacjami w zakresie semantyki używanego słownictwa oraz towarzyszącego mu nacechowania aksjologicznego. W związku z tym w artykule zakłada się, że nacechowanie aksjologiczne określonego słowa i związanego z nim pojęcia zależy od szeregu uwarunkowań kontekstowych, które ukształtowały istotną kategorię tekstową, jaką jest punkt widzenia. Analiza semantyki występujących w tekście użyć słowa nędza wskazuje na jego różne znaczenia, odbiegające od typowych znaczeń leksykalnych podawanych przez słowniki. Celem pracy jest ustalenie aksjologicznych wymiarów pojęcia nędza oraz ich zależności od czynników pozajęzykowych, wśród których istotną rolę odgrywa chrześcijański system wartości.

Corruption has been broadly discussed in the academic literature for several decades, yet there are few studies dedicated to addressing this topic in the classroom. This paper aims to fill this research gap by providing an example of a seminar on corruption and informal practices in Russia, given for international students at one Western European university. The aim of the seminar was to study the phenomenon of corruption from different perspectives, using different teaching techniques and materials, in order to encourage students to conduct their own analyses and reflections on real-life situations. Drawing on the structure of the seminar, this article provides a brief overview of the historical perspective of corruption in Russia, then summarizes the approach and teaching methods used in the seminar, including presentations, group work, discussions and homework. Finally, the authors provide a detailed overview of the learning materials used. They conclude that an interdisciplinary approach involving numerous literary works, films and case studies is particularly suitable for understanding the concept of “corruption” and “informality” in their respective cultural contexts and for preparing students to face this issue in their (future) professional lives.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar as competências de enfermagem voltadas para a prevenção de necrose e retração em queimaduras, em uma unidade de queimados. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa de abordagem metodológica qualitativa, descritiva-exploratória e de campo, realizada com quinze profissionais, sendo 02 (dois) enfermeiros e 13 (treze) técnicos de Enfermagem da Unidade de Queimados de um hospital do Rio Grande do Sul. Os dados foram analisados por meio da técnica de categorização proposta por Minayo, com a qual foi possível elencar as principais idéias do grupo sobre o tema pesquisado. As principais categorias percebidas e analisadas que chamaram a atenção foram relacionadas ao cuidado com a infecção e o tratamento da ferida local, no intuito de consagrar como uma das estratégias para prevenção de necrose. Na retração por sua vez, as competências para prevenção mais elencadas foram o posicionamento do paciente, curativo com técnica correta e utilização de suportes na área lesionada. Todavia, vale destacar que a dor foi apontada como a principal dificuldade na realização das intervenções, inclusive de mobilizações e reposicionamentos devido à resistência ao toque, contribuindo assim ao possível aparecimento de complicações como a retração ou cicatrização ineficaz. Quanto ao aperfeiçoamento, verifica-se que há necessidade de abordar e implementar um pouco mais a temática voltando-se para a SAE e as competências de Enfermagem nesse cuidado, uma vez que observou-se que as questões administrativas preenchem a maior parte do tempo dos enfermeiros. O aperfeiçoamento de condutas e formação de mais serviços especializados nesta área, além de auxiliar os profissionais de enfermagem no cuidado destes pacientes de forma a contribuir para a promoção da reabilitação social e funcional dos mesmos, objetivará a minimização de complicações como necrose e retração.
