Le Naufrage de la Pucelle de Molinet ou la formulation allégorique d’une crise d’État
Authors: Martínez-Morás Santiago López 
Published: June 2019

Abstract

Le Naufrage de la Pucelle is a work written by Jean Molinet in 1477 to relate, in allegorical form, the attack of Louis XI to Mary of Burgundy’s States at the beginning of that same year. The text presents a vessel adrift, an image of Burgundy itself, manned by a duchess who is incapable of steering it and with a divided crew, which is also a true reflection of the inner situation of the territories ruled by the daughter of Charles the Bold. The crew members are surrounded by sea animals that seek to sink them, an image of the brutality of the French attack, but they are finally rescued by eagles that embody the imperial power. The text, which is faithful to the Burgundian chivalric ideology, is built through various levels of interpretation, where the allegory not only reflects the political situation, but it also conveys religious motifs that will be common in other later works by Molinet himself, indiciaire of the duchy during those terrible years.
Ital. eravassimo e altre forme verbali in -vassimo
Authors: D’Angelo Vincenzo 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
This article aims to reconstruct the history of eravassimo (first-person plural of the imperfect indicative of essere) and other Italian verbal forms ending in -vassimo. These rare verbal forms began to appear in grammars and dictionaries in the 17th century and in some literary and non-literary texts in the 18th century. Some examples of the verbal forms in -vassimo can still be found in texts produced in recent years on the Internet.
Experimental Investigation on Microstructure and Permeability of Thermally Treated Beishan Granite

Published: June 2019

Abstract
A good understanding of thermal effect on physical properties (especially the permeability) of host rock is essential for a high-level radioactive waste (HLW) deep geological repository. In this study, we carried out comprehensive tests (permeability measurement, p-wave velocity measurement, mercury intrusion test, and nuclear magnetic resonance [NMR]) to study the macroproperties and microstructures of Beishan granite after different temperature treatments. We found the permeability decreased after treatment at 300°C then increased sharply with increasing temperature as temperature exceeded 400°C. Results from the mercury intrusion test and NMR measurement showed that the pore size and pore volume both decreased for granite after being treated at 300°C, which indicated that pores closured around 300°C for Beishan granite. From 400°C upward, the pore size and volume gradually increased with temperature. Based on the relationship of measured T2 data from NMR with Pc curves from mercury intrusion measurement, the synthesized Pc curves was constructed using NMR-measured data of thermally treated Beishan granite. The fractal dimension of pore structure was studied based on pore size distribution from NMR data. Consistent with the evolution of permeability, the fractal dimension decreased for granite after treatment at 300°C, then increased with temperature from 300°C to 700°C. Because the fractal dimension of thermally treated granite is effective in characterizing the variation of pore structures, a semiempirical formula is proposed to predict the permeability using the fractal dimension and porosity.

AbstractHumans expanded out of Africa 50,000-70,000 years ago, but many details of this migration are poorly understood. Here, Haber et al. sequence Y chromosomes belonging to a rare African lineage and analyze...Present-day humans outside Africa descend mainly from a single expansion out ∼50,000–70,000 years ago, but many details of this expansion remain unclear, including the history of the male-specific Y chromosome at this time. Here, we reinvestigate a rare deep-rooting African Y-chromosomal lineage by sequencing the whole genomes of three Nigerian men described in 2003 as carrying haplogroup DE* Y chromosomes, and analyzing them in the context of a calibrated worldwide Y-chromosomal phylogeny. We confirm that these three chromosomes do represent a deep-rooting DE lineage, branching close to the DE bifurcation, but place them on the D branch as an outgroup to all other known D chromosomes, and designate the new lineage D0. We consider three models for the expansion of Y lineages out of Africa ∼50,000–100,000 years ago, incorporating migration back to Africa where necessary to explain present-day Y-lineage distributions. Considering both the Y-chromosomal phylogenetic structure incorporating the D0 lineage, and published evidence for modern humans outside Africa, the most favored model involves an origin of the DE lineage within Africa with D0 and E remaining there, and migration out of the three lineages (C, D, and FT) that now form the vast majority of non-African Y chromosomes. The exit took place 50,300–81,000 years ago (latest date for FT lineage expansion outside Africa – earliest date for the D/D0 lineage split inside Africa), and most likely 50,300–59,400 years ago (considering Neanderthal admixture). This work resolves a long-running debate about Y-chromosomal out-of-Africa/back-to-Africa migrations, and provides insights into the out-of-Africa expansion more generally.

Aim. To improve the results of treatment of patients with breast cancer after radical mastectomy through the development and application of a device for wound closure after radical mastectomy, providing favorable conditions for wound healing.
Methods. The proposed device for wound closure after radical mastectomy was used in 42 patients after the mandatory informed consent. A patent for the invention was obtained for the developed device. The study group included patients with indications for performing Madden mastectomy (Halsted, Patey) for breast cancer in the range of stages T1-4N0-1M0. The age of the patients was 57.5±10.4 (m±δ) years. In group 1 (n=21), wound closure after radical mastectomy was performed using the developed device, in group 2 (n=21) - without it.
Results. In the process of working with the developed device, the following positive features were observed. The magnitude of the buckling in the plane of the jaws follows the contour of the thorax in the region of operation of the patient preventing the appearance of the plots of overpressure by the device to the adjacent tissue and ensuring uniformity of traction paravulnar tissues. The complete absence of tissue tension in the area of the suture is the result of the suturing of surgical wounds only after the complete wound edges attachment by means of the device. The above-mentioned factors lead to the formation of point scars in the joints, the absence of extended forms of postoperative scars.
Conclusion. The developed device for wound closure after radical mastectomy performed for breast cancer allows shortening the hospital stay after surgery by 36% (p=0.01) and the deadline for removal of drainage by 31% (p=0.01), reducing the incidence of local necrosis of the flap (p=0.44) compared to traditional suturing of the wounds.

Authors: Magomedova K A , Guseynov A A , Chamsutdinov N U 
Published: June 2019

Aim. To study the capability of applying the method of acoustic analysis of respiration (bronchophonography) in the diagnosis of hyperventilation syndrome and mild bronchial asthma and in differential diagnosis between them.
Methods. 97 subjects were examined (35 men and 62 women, average age 36.4±13.4 years), divided into the groups: control (healthy subjects) - 38 subjects (18 men and 20 women, average age 33.6±14.0 years), patients with mild bronchial asthma - 37 subjects (12 men and 25 women, average age 40.7±13.7 years), patients with hyperventilation syndrome - 22 subjects (5 men and 17 women, average age 35.0±12.6 years). All patients, except for general clinical examination, underwent spirometry, bronchophonography and Nijmegen questionnaire.
Results. Acoustic breathing patterns of all groups were formed, spirometric and bronchophonographic indicators were analyzed. Bronchophonography revealed significant intergroup differences in different frequency ranges in groups of patients with bronchial asthma and hyperventilation syndrome as well as the absence of those between healthy individuals and patients with hyperventilation syndrome. At the same time, the data of spirometry did not allow differentiation of mild bronchial asthma and hyperventilation syndrome and in most cases did not differ from those of healthy individuals.
Conclusion. Spirometry cannot serve as a reliable diagnostic criterion in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of hyperventilation syndrome and mild bronchial asthma; differences in acoustic indices of respiration in bronchophonography allow such differentiation.

Authors: Pertiwi Alissa Sita , Rochmah Thinni Nurul 
Published: June 2019

Background: Medical services provided within the Indonesian National Health Insurance programme or Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN) have been continuously improving for the past several years. One of them is pharmaceutical service in the Pharmacy Store for JKN patients at one hospital with the highest number of visitors in Surabaya. However, one preliminary study points out that patient waiting time for prescription services in the Pharmacy Store for JKN patients is longer than the national standard.Aim: This study aims to investigate the causes for such delay in prescription services as one of pharmaceutical services in the Pharmacy Store for JKN patients at one hospital in Surabaya.Methods: This is an observational descriptive research with a reference to the Theory of Constraints. The research was conducted from August 2017 to February 2018. The data were obtained from observations, interviews with one pharmacist and four pharmacy technicians, and waiting time for prescription service. Results: The study finds that the longer waiting time is caused by inefficient division of jobs and workers and the lack of worker’s discipline to work on time. The behaviors and habits of pharmacist and pharmacy technicians in drug preparation greatly affect patient waiting time, since the services still highly depend on manual human labor.Conclusions: Patient experience in prescription drug services is significantly influenced by the time spent waiting for the service provider. This study provides useful insights about constraint identification in pharmaceutical services, especially waiting time.Keywords: Pharmaceutical service, Theory of Constraints, Patient waiting time.

Published: June 2019

Background: Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) are infections that patients caught during medical treatment and health care. Prevention and control of infection will lead to patient safety, which ultimately has an impact on efficiency, management of health care facilities, and improvement of service quality. Infection can be controlled by identifying the causes. One method to achieve this goal is the Root Cause Analysis (RCA).Aim: This study aims to analyze the implementation of Root Couse Analysis (RCA) conducted by the Infection Prevention and Control Committee at the Mother and Child Hospital of Kendangsari MERR Surabaya.Method: This is a quantitative observational research that utilizes descriptive data analysis. This study is a cross sectional study and its results are presented narratively.Results: Results show that the Joint Commission International Standard 2015 version of RCA was not fully implemented at the Mother and Child Hospital of Kendangsari MERR Surabaya. Some methods, such as the fishbone and Plan-Do-Study-Action (PDSA), were not implemented. Limited resources became the contributing factor.Conclusion: Infection Prevention and Control Committee at the Mother and Child Hospital of Kendangsari Merr Surabaya has implemented 9 out of 21 RCA steps of the Joint Commission International Standard 2015. The hospital needs to use other methods as an addition to the 5 Why’s in implementing RCA, such as fishbone diagrams and Plan-Do-Study-Action (PDSA), for problem solving planning. Keywords: Root Cause Analysis (RCA), HAIs, Infection prevention and control.

Authors: Mashuri Nimas Ayu , Maharani Diajeng Puspa Arum 
Published: June 2019

Background: Job dissatisfaction arises as a result of a mismatch between expectation and reality in the employment conditions of employees in an organization. Job dissatisfaction can lead to the intention of to leave. Employees with Intention to leave have the opportunity to do turnover of their organization.Aims: The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between job satisfaction variable and intention to leave variable.Methods: This study used quantitative method with cross-sectional design. The samples were 52 staffs of the Surabaya Orthopaedic and Traumatology Hospital who were still actively working until June 2012. Job satisfaction variable was measured using a questionnaire research instrument called Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) by Spector while the intention to leave variable was measured using a questionnaire research instrument that is made by researchers.Results: The results of this study indicate that the level of staff work satisfaction of Surabaya Orthopaedic and Traumatology Hospital is relatively high while the intention to leave is moderate. The results of the Spearman Correlation show a number of -0.314 which shows a correlation that is not unidirectional and significant between the two variables. This means that job satisfaction and intention to leave have a negative relationship so that the higher the job satisfaction is, the lower the intention to leave is.Conclusion: It can be concluded from the study that job satisfaction has a significant relationship and is not in line with the intention to leave of the staffs. Therefore, it is important for the Surabaya Orthopaedic and Traumatology Hospital to improve their staff job satisfaction thus the staff loyalty can be formed. Keywords: Job satisfaction, Intention to leave, Hospital staff.

Published: June 2019

Background: Progress towards health-for-all must be supported by quality health facilities that are available to everyone. However, health care facilities in remote and underdeveloped areas, borderland, and outlying islands or Daerah Terpencil, Tertinggal, Perbatasan dan Kepulauan (DTPK) are facing some constraints to have access to health coverage.Aim: This study aimed to provide a comprehensive picture of the readiness of primary healthcare centers or puskesmas as the main provider of primary health services located in remote areas.Methods: Observations were taken from 18 primary healthcare centers in locations that had been identified by the government as remote and underdeveloped areas, borderland, and outlying islands in 3 provinces: Bengkulu, Nusa Tenggara Timur (East Nusa Tenggara), and South Sulawesi.Results: The findings reveal that many facilities in primary healthcare centers are still insufficient. In particular, roads to primary healthcare centers are in poor physical conditions, operational hours are too short, and doctors and lab technicians are unavailable. The good news is that primary healthcare centers have managed to run many indoor and outdoor activities, such as health education classes and detection of priority diseases in the community. Regarding primary healthcare centers’ finances, they largely depend on public funding to support their increasing expenses to provide health services, pay worker salaries, and run indoor and outdoor activities.Conclusions: Overall, some constraints faced by the primary healthcare centers in DTPK include difficult access to facilities and temporary health personnel. All of this information provides valuable inputs to policymakers in building a health infrastructure and human resources for health in DTPK. Keywords: Remote area, Human resources for health, Primary healthcare center.
Improvement of Internal Stability of Alluvial Clay from Famagusta Bay, Cyprus, Using Copolymer of Butyl Acrylate and Styrene
Authors: Golhashem Mohammad Reza , Uygar Eris 
Published: June 2019

ABSTRACT
The internal stability of alluvial clays may be significantly compromised during a heavy rainfall due to infiltration of surface water causing sudden inundation, softening, and loss of erosion resistance or mechanical strength. Most of the available stabilization methods for clay soils employ pozzolanic or other cementitious binders, creating a chemically bound clay-admixture matrix. These admixtures commonly require a curing period after placement and compaction. Alternatively, aqueous polymers can be used in diluted form without any need for a curing period. Aqueous polymers can form agglomerations of clay particles enclosed in a matrix of polymer chains, held together by electrostatic and hydrogen bonding, improving erosion resistance. In this research, an aqueous polymer, namely, copolymer of butyl acrylate and styrene (CBAS), is mixed with alluvial clay sampled from Famagusta Bay, Cyprus, and the clay stability test is performed as a basis for assessing the degree of improvement on erosion resistance. A time-dependent approach for the evaluation of test results is followed to increase the accuracy of the analysis of the actual behavior observed during the test. A significant improvement in the erosion resistance is observed in treated test specimens. The mode of collapse of specimens during the clay soil stability test when aqueous polymer is used also changed from being gradual cracking and slaking to explosive. The swelling behavior and the effect of drying on the erosion resistance are also observed in the testing program. X-ray diffraction analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy are performed for observation of the effect of CBAS on microstructural interactions, such as electrostatic bonding and changes in soil fabric.
Effect of Confinement and Well Interference on SAGD Performance: An Analytical Assessment
Authors: Zargar Zeinab , Farouq Ali S. M. 
Published: June 2019

Summary
In this paper, we introduce, for the first time, an analytical approach for evaluating the effect of confinement and well interference on the SAGD process and achieving a better understanding of the situation. In the well-confinement stage of SAGD, there is adjacent-chamber interference, the effective head of drainage decreases, and the heat-loss rate decreases or, in a conservative design, remains constant. Our objectives were to predict the oil-production rate, steam-injection rate, thermal efficiency, steam-chamber velocity, unsteady temperature profile, heat distribution, and the cumulative steam/oil ratio (CSOR). In this approach, heat transfer was coupled with fluid flow. The governing equations were Darcy's law, volumetric balance, and heat conduction—constitutive equations indicating the temperature dependence of some physical properties. Our model was developed on the basis of a moving-boundary problem.
The predicted oil rate remained constant during the sideways-expansion phase, while the steam-injection rate had to be constantly increased. After a determined confinement time, the oil rate started to decline with time because the decreasing steam-chamber interface length was offset by a decreasing head. The unsteady temperature profiles from the model showed that lower temperatures were predicted ahead of the interface owing to the confinement effect. Also, the model showed that, for a small lateral well spacing, confinement occurred earlier and heat loss started decreasing sooner, resulting in a lower CSOR than for a large spacing. It was shown that, even though the oil rate declined faster in a confined model rather than in an unconfined model, the reservoir depleted faster, just like the angle between the steam-chamber interface and the horizon. The results were validated using experimental data reported in the literature.

Abstract
Background

Sunlight exposure, the main source of endogenous vitamin D synthesis, may increase the risk of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) development. Vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms are associated with 25(OH)D levels, cancer development and insulin resistance.

Objective

This study aimed to examine the associations among vitamin D status, VDR FokI polymorphism, insulin resistance and NMSC.

Methods

This case-control study included 73 diagnosed cases of NMSC and 72 healthy controls from dermatology clinics at Razi Hospital, Tehran, Iran. A questionnaire was used to assess sunlight exposure. The extracted DNA from whole blood samples were genotyped. Fasting serum 25-hydroxyvitaminD (25(OH)D)), lipid profile, glucose, and insulin were measured. To evaluate insulin resistance, HOMA-IR formula was used.

Results

We found a significant higher duration of cumulative sunlight exposure in cases compared with controls (p<0.001). However, 25(OH)D concentrations were not significantly different between cases and controls (30±15 vs. 29±15 ng/mL, p=0.78). Higher levels of insulin (p = 0.004) and HOMA-IR score (p= 0.019) were observed in Ff and ff genotype of FokI. We did not observe any significant increased risk of NMSC due to f allele, as compared with FF (OR =2.33, 95% CI 0.81-6.75, p=0.12). The components of lipid profile, fasting serum glucose, iPTH and anthropometric measures did not differ significantly across VDR genotypes.

Conclusion

In conclusion, sunlight exposure was associated with NMSC risk. VDR FokI polymorphisms appears to influence insulin resistance in the NMSC patients.
