Application of the grey based Taguchi method and Deform-3D for optimizing multiple responses in turning of Inconel 718
Authors: Rajaparthiban Jeevanandam , Sait Abdullah Naveen 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
The austenitic nickel-chromium based super alloy Inconel 718 is considered a difficult material to machine due to a combination of nickel, iron and cobalt. The material exhibits mechanical strength and resistance to surface degradation under extreme pressure and heat. It employed widely in aerospace, jet engines, gas turbine etc. This research work focuses on the optimization of cutting variables for each performance measure obtained by employing grey-Taguchi techniques. The orthogonal array, grey relation analysis and analysis of variance are employed to study the performance characteristics in turning Inconel 718 using a carbide cutting tool insert. Further, a simulation model based on an finite element approach is proposed using DEFORM-3D software for the prediction of tool wear through Usui's tool wear model. The study highlights the optimum cutting conditions and a favorable range of the machining variable values. Finite element method results show that predicted tool wear values according to DEFORM-3D produce a useful and adequate level of accuracy.

Un esprit nouveau dans la doctrine de l’Église ?
Authors: Mellon Christian 
Published: August 2018

Les principaux critères élaborés par la tradition catholique pour porter un jugement éthique sur le recours aux armes restent utilisés par les documents du magistère pour prendre position sur diverses questions touchant les conflits et les politiques de défense. En revanche, l’expression « guerre juste » tombe en désuétude et tend à être remplacée par « juste défense », ce qui traduit non pas un changement dans la doctrine mais dans la manière de s’en servir : de moins en moins pour légitimer, et de plus en plus pour limiter le recours aux armes. Le pape François reprend et accentue cette évolution, en y ajoutant un vigoureux plaidoyer pour l’action non-violente, qu’il ne présente pas comme une alternative à la violence des armes, mais comme un complément aux efforts de l’Église pour la limiter à quelques cas très exceptionnels.
The Lessons of Lucasfilm's Habitat
Authors: Morningstar Chip , Farmer F. Randall 
Published: August 2018

Habitat is a "multi-player online virtual environment", created by Lucasfilm Games, a division of LucasArts Entertainment Company, in association with Quantum Computer Services, Inc. It was arguably one of the first attempts to create a very large scale commercial multi-user virtual environment in 1985. The system we developed could support a population of thousands of users in a single shared cyberspace. Habitat presented its users with a real-time animated view into an online simulated world in which users could communicate, play games, go on adventures, fall in love, get married, get divorced, start businesses, found religions, wage wars, protest against them, and experiment with self-government.
Our experiences developing the Habitat system, and managing the virtual world that resulted, offer a number of interesting and important lessons for prospective cyberspace architects. The purpose of this paper is to discuss some of these lessons. We hoped that the next generation of builders of virtual worlds can benefit from our experiences and (especially) from our mistakes.
Measuring aggregate production in a virtual economy using log data
Authors: Lehtiniemi Tuukka 
Published: August 2018

Virtual worlds typically contain systems of resource allocation, production, and consumption, which are often called virtual economies. The operator of a virtual world clearly has an incentive to monitor the virtual economy, and users and outside observers would benefit from e.g. temporal or cross-economy comparisons. Standard methodology of computing macroeconomic aggregates for virtual economies would allow this kind of analysis, but such method is currently unavailable. This study fills this gap by employing the concepts of national accounting and unique log data from a virtual world.
In particular, the focus is on virtual economies where the production of new virtual goods takes place as the users expend inputs to produce predetermined outputs along predetermined production paths. The major MMOGs fall into this category. Previous attempts on measuring the aggregate production of a virtual economy have been based on non-standard method and externally collected data. In virtual economies the operator can collect extensive data automatically, a characteristic feature that should be reflected in any standard accounting scheme.
Macroeconomic aggregates for a national economy are computed using the UN System of National Accounts (SNA). It is a standard accounting system, and its probably most quoted outcome is the gross domestic product. The most relevant borderline in SNA lies between the national economy and the rest of the world: domestic production is included, whereas foreign production is not.
SNA cannot be directly used in a virtual economy, as the concepts of “domestic” and “foreign” are not applicable. In this study, the concepts and methods of SNA are transferred to a virtual economy context. The relevant distinction in a virtual economy is made between production by the users and the creation of goods by the virtual world code. Application of the concepts of SNA and flow chart analysis result in an aggregate measure called the Gross User Product (GUP), which measures the value of the aggregate output of production activities – of both goods and services – by the users of a virtual economy.
In the empirical part of this study, the potential of GUP is demonstrated by measuring it for the virtual economy of EVE Online based on extensive log data collected by the operator. Temporal comparisons are performed after purging the GUP values from the effect of significant deflation using a chained Fischer index. A 50% real growth per user is observed for the first half of the year 2007. The composition of GUP has remained rather stable during this period of significant growth.
The concept of GUP is general, and it can be used for quantifying virtual economies other than that in EVE Online on the macro level.
Evaluating Participation in an International Bilingual Virtual World Educational Intervention for Youth
Authors: Beals Laura , Bers Marina Umaschi 
Published: August 2018

This paper reports on an evaluation of participation in a complex, international, bilingual project called ClubZora. ClubZora was an eleven-month educational intervention in which the Zora virtual world was introduced to an international after-school community of youth spanning 11 countries and two languages, English and Spanish. Zora is a multi-user virtual environment that provides a safe space for youth. In Zora, users can create and populate a virtual city by making their own places and interactive creations, using 3D objects such as picture frames, movie screens, houses, interior decorations, message boards, and signs. Zora provides both a real-time chat system and a message-board system for communication. Each action performed by the participants in Zora is logged into a database and analyzed with a customized online log-parser. The log parser allows for easy exploration of population demographics and data related to software usage (i.e., logging on/off, conversations, object creation, etc.). In addition, a master registry of the objects created in Zora is contained within a file called a “prop dump,” which contains the date of creation, coordinates, owner, etc. of each object. This paper presents a case study of an evaluation of participation in this virtual world educational intervention. Through this case study, methods for determining participation will be explored. Using the data collected during the ClubZora project, this case study explores who used Zora and how, including statistical analysis of usage patterns in order to examine potential participation differences among demographic characteristics (i.e., gender, age, language, Clubhouse region, etc.). A discussion of the implications of the results as they pertain to development of the software and of the educational program supported by Zora is also presented.
Tearing of clothes: A study of an ancient practice in the Old Testament
Authors: Jerome Obiorah M. , Uroko Favour C. 
Published: August 2018

Tearing of clothes occurs in sorrowful occasions but there is a class of person that the law excludes from this custom. This article attempts a synopsis and a synchronised presentation of all the occurrences of this phenomenon in the Old Testament. Particular attention is paid to the verbal roots and mood employed for the action of rending clothes, words used for clothes, persons performing the action, reasons for the action and contexts. The specific objective of the study is to elucidate this ancient practice, especially the contexts in which it is found in the Old Testament.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The research on ancient Israel’s practice of tearing clothes is a biblical analysis of this phenomenon in the Old Testament. It is discovered that this practice was used as an external manifestation of personal or communal dolorous experience, still practised among Jews today. Disciplines implicated are sociology and psychology.
Occupational Therapists’ Role in Perinatal Care: A Health Promotion Approach
Authors: Fernandes Julie Grobbelaar 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
This article establishes and examines occupational therapists’ role in perinatal care and proposes a health promotion approach for new and expectant mothers. The author demonstrates the importance of maintaining meaningful occupational engagement during this critical life stage by incorporating evidence from orthopedic, rehabilitation, and hand therapy research. New and expectant mothers are at high risk for upper extremity (UE) conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, and tendinosis of the UE. Occupational therapists with basic knowledge of hand therapy are well prepared to manage these conditions conservatively. An occupation-based model and framework are presented to ensure a holistic view of the target population. Topics pertinent to this population include postural techniques, repetitive tasks, patient education, and strengthening related to the perinatal period.

Abstract. The distribution of dissolved aluminium (dAl) in the water
column of the North Atlantic and Labrador Sea was studied along GEOTRACES
section GA01 to unravel the sources and sinks of this element. Surface water
dAl concentrations were low (median of 2.5 nM) due to low aerosol deposition
and removal by biogenic particles (i.e. phytoplankton cells). However,
surface water dAl concentrations were enhanced on the Iberian and Greenland
shelves (up to 30.9 nM) due to continental inputs (rivers, glacial flour,
and ice melt). Dissolved Al in surface waters scaled negatively with
chlorophyll a and biogenic silica (opal) concentrations. The abundance of
diatoms exerted a significant (p<0.01) control on the surface particulate
Al (pAl) to dAl ratios by decreasing dAl levels and increasing pAl levels.
Dissolved Al concentrations generally increased with depth and correlated
strongly with silicic acid (R2>0.76) west of the Iberian Basin,
suggesting net release of dAl at depth during remineralization of sinking
opal-containing particles. Enrichment of dAl at near-bottom depths was
observed due to the resuspension of sediments. The highest dAl concentrations
(up to 38.7 nM) were observed in Mediterranean Outflow Waters, which act as
a major source of dAl to mid-depth waters of the eastern North Atlantic. This
study clearly shows that the vertical and lateral distributions of dAl in the
North Atlantic differ when compared to other regions of the Atlantic and
global oceans. Responsible for these large inter- and intra-basin differences
are the large spatial variabilities in the main Al source, atmospheric
deposition, and the main Al sink, particle scavenging by biogenic particles.

Published: August 2018

OBJECTIVES Numerous challenges face clinically complex patients as they transition from hospital to home. The purpose of this project was to add pharmacy discharge services to an existing nurse-led discharge service (patient navigation program) to facilitate the transition of care process for clinically complex pediatric patients.
METHODS For select patients referred to the service, a pharmacist resolved medication discrepancies, provided discharge counseling, and conducted follow-up telephone encounters on days 1, 7, and 14 post discharge. Patient demographics, admitting diagnosis, and number of discharge medications were recorded. The impact on patient outcomes was measured by the number and type of pharmacist interventions identified. Program utilization was measured by the number of referrals received, percentage of patients seen by a pharmacist, follow-up phone call completion rate, and pharmacist time required. Financial benefit gained from the program was estimated by translating each pharmaceutical intervention into potential cost savings.
RESULTS There were 321 patient navigation referrals during the 5 months of pharmacist service. A pharmacist was able to provide discharge counseling for 56 discharges (17%). Patients who were provided pharmacy services had a median of 8 comorbidities, 10-day length of stay, and 4 discharge medications. Pharmacists identified 168 interventions, of which 93.5% were accepted or informational in nature. The most frequently identified interventions included clarification of drug order, assistance obtaining medication, and dose rounding. This program resulted in an estimated cost savings of $22,308 in the first 5 months.
CONCLUSIONS A unique partnership between nurses and pharmacists facilitated the discharge process for clinically complex children.

Fungal Cultivation by Insects
Authors: Dentinger Bryn TM , Bills Christy 
Published: August 2018

AbstractFungi and insects are two hyperdiverse groups of organisms that have interacted for millennia. Over time, some insects have come to rely on fungi for a variety of resources, including room and board. Ants, wasps, beetles and a variety of other insects have adapted to using fungi primarily for reinforcing structures or as sources of food, with the most extreme examples resulting in cultivation of fungal crops. Chief among these examples are the mushroom‐farming ants and termites, and the wood‐boring beetles and wasps. These systems offer compelling insights into a miniature world that parallels our own human agricultural systems, providing new perspectives on sustainable practices that have endured millions of years of parasites, pests and environmental change. Yet our basic documentation of the natural history of fungal cultivation by insects is still very incomplete, with new discoveries regularly appearing that expand our knowledge of the true diversity of these interactions.Key ConceptsFungiculture evolved independently at least six times in three orders of insects.Fungus‐farming ants, termites, beetles and wasps are prime examples of obligate fungiculture.Insects cultivate fungi for food or structure.Diverse lineages of fungi belonging to Ascomycota and Basidiomycota are cultivated.Fungal crops are typically transmitted vertically, but may or may not engage in reproduction outside of gardens.Fungi are capable of transforming plant materials into consumable forms for the insects, expanding ecological opportunities for both partners.Insect fungicultural systems have been stable symbioses for millions of years, yet fungal gardens are complex communities of interacting microorganisms.

Published: August 2018

ObjectiveTo assess and compare direct costs between patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) that is associated or not associated with polymyalgia rheumatic (PMR), and to identify the additional cost drivers due to PMR.MethodsA population‐based, retrospective cohort study using the French National Health Insurance System Database was conducted. Cost analysis was performed from the French health insurance perspective and direct medical and nonmedical costs were taken into account (based on 2014 costs [€]). Costs were analyzed according to different components and divided into 6‐month periods to assess care consumption. Longitudinal multivariate analyses, using generalized estimating equations, were used to adjust the effect of PMR on the mean cost over time.ResultsAnalyses were performed on 100 incident patients with GCA, 54 of whom had PMR. The cumulative additional cost due to PMR was €8,801 for 3 years, and €10,532 for 5 years. The significant additional costs occurred especially during the second and third years of follow‐up, amounting to €1,769 between 12 and 18 months (P = 0.02), €1,924 between 18 and 24 months (P = 0.17), €1,458 between 24 and 30 months (P = 0.08), and €1,307 between 30 and 36 months (P = 0.07). The most important cost drivers were inpatient stays, paramedic procedures, and medications. Multivariate analyses showed a significant effect of PMR on mean cost during the first 3 years of follow‐up (relative risk 1.76 [95% confidence interval 1.03–2.99], P = 0.038).ConclusionTo our knowledge, this study is the first to accurately assess the cost of PMR care in patients with GCA and to highlight that PMR is largely responsible for the high cost of GCA.

Published: August 2018

ObjectiveTo evaluate how demographics, health literacy, numeracy, and patient activation are related to transition readiness in adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients and to describe how parent/guardian (PG) performance on these metrics predicts AYA patients’ transition readiness.MethodsIn this single center, cross‐sectional study, consecutive English‐speaking AYA patients ages 17–21 years and PGs were recruited from outpatient rheumatology clinics. Participants completed the following self‐reported instruments: demographic questionnaire, Short Test of Fundamental Health Literacy, Objective Numeracy Scale, Subjective Numeracy Scale, Symbolic‐number mapping, Patient Activation Measure, and Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ; AYA patients only).ResultsNinety‐one AYA patients participated in the study, of whom 64 of 91 (70%) had juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and 54 PGs. Mean ± SD TRAQ score was 4.0 ± 0.65, correlating with “I am starting to do this” stage of change. Most participants (98%) had adequate health literacy. Multivariable regression analysis showed that AYA patients of female sex, older age, and higher patient activation significantly predicted higher TRAQ scores (P < 0.05). No PG characteristics were linked to higher AYA patient TRAQ scores.ConclusionsTransition readiness in AYA patients as measured by TRAQ is associated with female sex, older age, and higher patient activation. Though sex and age are nonmodifiable, interventions to boost patient activation represent a promising opportunity to improve transition readiness and outcomes.
