Authors: Aboushanab Tamer , AlSanad Saud 
Published: February 2019

Cauterization (al-kaiy in Arabic) includes using a heated metal instrument (nail or metal rod) for skin application. This article describes the Arabic traditional cauterization from an ethnomedical view. The aims of this article are to document Arabic traditional cauterization practice, to address the beliefs and pattern of use about cauterization in various Arabic countries, and to identify adverse events and raise the safety concerns about this practice. The definition, history, historical indications, related knowledge, beliefs, the available information about the pattern of use in various Arabic countries and safety concerns are discussed. A new classification of identified complications related to cauterization is developed and described. Encouraging the reporting of complications due to cauterization and other traditional therapies by healthcare professionals, further field research and documentation of the knowledge related to the practice and raising the healthcare community and the public awareness towards the safety concerns and the complications related to cauterization are advised.
Evaluation of 1D hydraulic models for the simulation of mountain fluvial floods: a case study of the Santa Bárbara River in Ecuador
Authors: Pinos Juan , Timbe Luis , Timbe Edison 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
River flooding is a key topic for water managers because of the social and economic losses it can cause. The complex topography and dynamics of mountain rivers has limited the analysis of their behavior during flood events (e.g., sediment transport, flooding). This study aims to test the performance of three hydraulic 1D models (HEC-RAS, MIKE 11, and Flood Modeller) to estimate inundation water levels for a mountain river. The evaluation of these models was performed considering steady state conditions through 10 scenarios, i.e. five discharge return periods, and two types of cross sections data: (a) type I, a detailed field survey complemented with information extracted from DEM, derived from LiDAR; and (b) type II, cross sections exclusively derived from the DEM. The research was conducted for a reach of 5 km of the Santa Bárbara River, with an average slope of 0.25%. HEC-RAS model results for cross sections type I, were previously validated and therefore used as reference for comparison between other models and scenarios. The goodness-of-fit between models was measured based on the Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficient (EF). The main goal of the current study was to determine the variability of inundation level results compared with a validated model as reference, using the same input data for the three modeling packages. Our analysis shows that, when using cross section type I, the evaluated modeling packages yield similar results (EF were between 0.94 and 0.99). On the other hand, the goodness of fit decreased when using type II data, with an average EF of 0.98 (HEC-RAS), 0.88 (Flood Modeller) and 0.85 (MIKE 11) when compared to the reference model. The authors conclude that it is highly recommend for practitioners to use geometric data type I instead of type II in order to obtain similar performance in the tested models. Only HEC-RAS type II has the same performance as type I models (average EF of 0.98).
Systematically Searching Empirical Literature in the Social Sciences: Results from Two Meta-Analyses Within the Domain of Education

Published: February 2019

Introduction. This paper provides an overview of the information retrieval strategy employed for two meta-analyses, conducted by a systematic review team at Concordia University (Montreal, QC, Canada). Both papers draw on standards first articulated by H.M. Cooper and further developed by the Campbell Collaboration, which promote a comprehensive approach to systematically searching an extensive array of resources (bibliographic databases, print resources, citation indices, etc.) in order to locate both published and unpublished research. The goal is to verify if searching comprehensively through multiple resources retrieves studies that are unique, and hence, improve the overall representativeness of a diverse body of literature. We also analyze the sensitivity and specificity of the results by data source.
Methods. In order to determine the source sensitivity, we consider percentage of results from each source retrieved for full-text review. In order to determine the source specificity, we derive a percentage from the total number of studies included in the final meta-analysis compared against the overall number of initial results found.
Results. Results demonstrate the need to search beyond the subject-specific databases of a particular discipline as unique results can be found in many places. Databases for related disciplines provided 129 unique includes to each meta-analysis, and multidisciplinary databases provided 44 and 99 unique includes for the two meta-analyses in question respectively. Manual search techniques were much more sensitive and specific than electronic searches of databases and yield a higher percentage of final includes.
Discussion. The results demonstrate the utility of a comprehensive information retrieval methodology like that proposed by the Campbell Collaboration, which goes beyond the main subject databases to locate the full range of information sources, including grey literature.
Real Time Acoustic Feature Analysis for Gender Identification
Authors: Jain Vanita , Chhabra Paras , Bhardwaj Mansi 
Published: February 2019

Objective:
Humans with their developed senses can easily ascertain a person’s gender just
by listening to a few uttered words and it does not take any conscious additional effort to do so,
however, a machine cannot do the same unless trained. This research proposes a real time system to
identify a person’s gender from their voice.

Methods:
Features are extracted from the dataset and checked for outliers. Then a baseline classifier
is constructed to measure performance of the different models. Next the dataset is prepared for training
and five machine learning models, Decision Tree Classifier, Random Forest Classifier, K Nearest
Neighbours, Support Vector Machine and Gaussian Naive Bayes Classifier are applied. Finally,
real time prediction is done by taking speech input and analysing it against the trained model, after
input of speech the gender along with accuracy of prediction is displayed within 1.37s.

Results:
A maximum accuracy score of 88.19% is obtained using SVM. Additionally, the juxtaposition
of the feature importance graph highlights the two most important features which fuel this classification.
A combination of these features is then studied to design a less complex system and it is
observed that using just MFCCs and Chroma Vector a near optimal accuracy score of 87.78% is obtained.

Conclusion:
Identification of gender prior to applying speech recognition and emotion recognition
algorithm can help in reduction of the search space. Further, using only MFCC and Chroma Vector
can make the system memory efficient and yet provide near optimal accuracy. The system can be
used as an authentication mechanism and can be installed in public places.
Intellectuelen en hegemonie: Het neoliberalisme en haar tegenstanders
Authors: Riedmann Erwin , Mohr Katrin 
Published: February 2019

Intellectuelen worden vaak beschouwd als de academisch opgeleide elite die op onafhankelijke wijze oplossingen zoekt voor maatschappelijke problemen. Antonio Gramsci meent echter dat hun werk nauw verbonden is met klassenbelangen en verschuivende machtsverhoudingen. Zo legitimeren en bestendigen 'traditionele' intellectuelen de positie van de heersende klasse, al menen ze dat ze daar boven staan. De ontstaansgeschiedenis en caosolidering van het neoliberalisme is in dit opzicht illustratief. Een analyse levert eveneens inzichten in de mogelijkheden voor intellectuelen die zich verbinden met de andersglobalisten, een beweging die het neoliberalisme omver wil werpen.

The Complementary Functions Method Solution to the Functionally Graded Polar Orthotropic Rotating Hyperbolic Disks with Both Radially and Circumferentially Aligned Fibers
Authors: YILDIRIM Vebil 
Published: February 2019

In the present study, efforts have been made to numerically evaluate elastic displacements and stresses in a convergent or divergent hyperbolic disk subjected to a centrifugal force of constant circular velocity. The disk material is assumed to be continuously radially functionally graded (FG) with two orthotropic materials based on the simplest Voigt rule with a power of volume fraction of two constituents. The fibers are assumed to be aligned along either radial (RR) or circumferential (CR) directions. Having been a second order differential equation with variable coefficients, the governing equation so-called Navier equation is first derived and then put in the form of two differential equations of first order. These two ordinary differential equation set is originally solved based on the initial value problem (IVP) by employing the Complementary Functions Method (CFM). The numerical results are verified with the corresponding benchmark results for uniform thickness FG polar orthotropic disks. The radial variation of the elastic fields in a hyperbolic disk is investigated for several boundary conditions, disk profile parameters, and the gradient parameter for both the radially and circumferentially aligned fibers. Some numerical results are also presented. Under the case that is considered in this study, it is revealed that the CR disk offers much higher elastic fields than RR disk under all boundary conditions. For a composite rotating disk rotating at a constant speed, it will be better to align fibers along the radial directions, to use convergent disk profiles, and to locate the material having higher radial stiffness at the outer surface. It is also disclosed that the location of the maximum Von-Mises equivalent stress in fixed-free disks varies regarding the fiber orientation.
