Authors: Patel Darshna M. , Salat Vandita K. , Patel Mahesh M. 
Published: July 2018

Background: Unmet need for family planning is an important indicator for assessing the demand for family planning services. As per NFHS-4, the contraceptive prevalence rate in women age 15-49 years was 53.5 % and the unmet need for family planning among married women was 12.9%. Counselling provides the Health care professionals (HCPs) an opportunity to understand the individual need of a contraceptive seeker.Methods: This was a cross-sectional, observational study conducted at GMERS hospital, Valsad during June 2017 to October 2017. Sexually active women of 18 to 40 years who consulted HCPs for contraception and who interested in starting hormonal contraceptive method or expressed interest in switching (changing) to hormonal methods were included in the study. Total 213 women were enrolled in the study. Questionnaires with information on the women’s pre- and post-counseling contraceptive choice, her perceptions, and the reasons behind her post-counseling decision were filled both by the HCP and the participating women. The completed questionnaires were collected and analyzed.Results: During pre-counseling, most common hormonal contraceptive method selected by women was combined hormonal contraceptive pills followed by DMPA, LNG-IUS and POPs. In present study, structured contraception counseling helped most women (97.2 %) to choose a contraceptive method. There were statistically significant differences in choice of contraceptive methods during pre and post-counseling except COCs. Among hormonal contraceptive methods, maximum difference was observed for choice of the COCs after counseling as compared to pre-counseling. Counseling helped more than 90% of the women who were indecisive to choose any contraceptive method. More than three fourth of them opted for hormonal methods with a maximum selection of COCs. The most common reasons for selecting COCs was ease of use for COC, breast feeding for POP and the most common reasons for not choosing other available contraceptive methods was discussion with partner.Conclusions: The combined hormonal contraceptive pills were reported to be the most commonly used contraceptive method. There were statistically significant differences in choice of contraceptive methods during pre and post-counseling with maximum difference in COCs. Counseling helped most of the women who were indecisive to choose any contraceptive method.

Published: July 2018

A 30-year-old woman presented with dyspareunia and infertility and was referred to after failure to visualize cervix during diagnostic laparoscopy by her primary consultant. Preoperative MRI was done which showed mild arcuate uterus with minimum fluid in vaginal cavity with vertical vaginal septum. This was managed successfully by a combined laparoscopic and vaginal approach. She conceived spontaneously and delivered a healthy term baby by caesarean section. Upper thick Transverse Vaginal Septum is a complex congenital malformation posing challenges for its correction, restoring normal healthy sex life and conception. The septum varies in thickness and may be located anywhere along the vagina reducing the functional length of the vagina. Identifying and dissecting the anatomic structures is greatly aided by panoramic view of laparoscope allowing the surgeon to have an increased degree of freedom during surgery.

Today millions of ordinary citizens are using networks for banking, shopping and filing their tax return. Network security has become a massive problem. All this requires network to identify its legal users for providing services. An authentication protocol used is Kerberos which uses strong secret key for user authentication but it is vulnerable in case of weak passwords. Authentication & key distribution protocols requires sharing secret key(s) with a view that only the concerned users know to derive the information from it. These protocols are vulnerable to key guessing attacks. Another important consideration is perfect forward secrecy in which our proposed scheme cover cases with application servers, authentication servers or clients key are revealed & their combination. In this paper our proposed scheme deal with key guessing attacks, perfect forward secrecy and protocols for few combinations of keys. All these protocols are based on the fact that the keys are weak & can be exploited easily.

In Ethiopia, information reaches to farmers mainly through indigenous and exogenous communication channels which include social gatherings, training, meetings, and conferences followed by learning through direct observation. Indigenous communication channels provides an effective means for rural communities to access various types of information related to their farming and day-to-day life. However, the practices and prospects of indigenous communication channels need policy-oriented research to analyze and facilitate meaningful interventions in the areas of agricultural information dissemination. This study was initiated with the objective of identifying existing indigenous Communication Channels used by farm households, assess farmers perception of indigenous Communication Channels utilization to exchange agricultural innovation, analyze the challenges related to exchanging and disseminating of agricultural information with respect to indigenous knowledge and assess indigenous agricultural knowledge preservation practices in the North Gondar Zone. Data were collected from 120 sample household heads, 30 focus group discussants and key informants and both primary and secondary data were used for the study. Household survey, focus group discussion and key informant interview were used to triangulate and strengthen the data collected sample household heads. For the purpose of data analysis, descriptive statistics (frequency & percentage), and inferential statistics (chi-square test T-test) were used. The results of the study showed that 70% of the respondents highly preferred indigenous communication channels than exogenous communication channels. The most regularly preferred and utilized channel was Church (47.5%), followed by public meeting organized by the community (22.5%) where as village meeting organized by the community (11.7%) and neighbors (6.7%) occupied the third and fourth position in the ranking. It was also indicated that the utilization of indigenous communication channels determined by age and educational status of respondents. In this regard elder and illiterate household heads preferred and utilized indigenous communication channels than exogenous communication channels. Based on the findings, the researchers recommended that indigenous communication channels utilization should be incorporated in the plan of Agricultural Extension Agents, indigenous communication channels should be form as part of agricultural information dissemination package to encourage and facilitate exchanging of information by rural people, Policies, strategies and good practices with respect to indigenous communication channels have to be developed with active participation of primary stakeholders to utilize it effectively.

Published: July 2018

The check is a tool of fulfillment in the commercial law. The legislator has been subject to strict penalties. The check includes two parts, civil part and criminal part. In this research, we discussed the possibility of resorting to arbitration in settling down check disputes.
As a result, the criminal case falls or ends between the parties to the dispute after they agree to resolve the dispute between them except for a public right that cannot be waived. But in the same time no public rights exists it civil disputes, in the time that criminal protection for check in Jordan is coming as extra protection to the check because many reasons which the spread use of check as a credit tool is the most important.
The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the extent to which arbitration can be applied as a mean of settling down disputes in checks disputes, which are considered as commercial papers and to determine the extent to which this affects the criminal case.
This section has been dealt with in two parts: Section One, the possibility of arbitration in check disputes. In the second section, the effects of resorting to commercial arbitration, and we concluded that there is a possibility to resort to arbitration in checks disputes regarding the two forms of disputes that may be initiates, especially when we know that the Jordanian legislator was silent regarding this issue. Accordingly, it is recommended that specific legal provisions relates to arbitration be issued clarifying the possibility of using arbitration in check disputes because of its positive aspects in commercial disputes.

Published: July 2018

Many high school and college graduates that have excelled in their sport at either or both levels are not able to maintain their edge once they finish matriculating and/or enter the work force. The demands on their time coupled with the gradual deterioration of their fitness and athleticism that comes along with life beyond the academic setting reduces them to weekend warrior status. But the desire to be part of a winning team and pushing the limits of competition do not end there. In fact, many former athletes volunteer to take on leadership roles off the field that are connected to the sport that they excelled at in school. To some, those roles can be no more than administrative functions that fail to scratch the competitive itch of the former athlete. Eric Miller, an accomplished college soccer player and recent business school graduate had a different idea when he volunteered to take on the team manager role of a local youth sports team. Eric looked at this as an opportunity to apply what he learned in his business classes about strategy development and managerial accounting. Eric started his analysis by looking at the team’s financial situation. Eric then framed out what he believed to be the areas that he needed to address and is seeking your assistance in helping with his analysis so that he can meet his goal of creating the most value for his team.

Published: July 2018

Prema Ustavu Republika Srbija neguje human odnos, kako prema svojim građanima kojima je srpski drugi jezik, tako i prema licima koja su se u različitim vidovima migracija zatekla u Srbiji. Sistem obrazovanja i vaspitanja u Republici Srbiji počiva na načelima dostupnosti, pravednosti, kvaliteta usmerenog na dete i učenika. Strani državljani i lica bez državljanstva imaju pravo na obrazovanje i vaspitanje pod istim uslovima kao i državljani Srbije. Škola kao institucija jedan je od najvažnijih oslonaca u procesu celovite podrške koja se pruža učenicima iz osetljivih grupa. Topla atmosfera koja vlada u školi, spremnost nastavnika i učenika da se zainteresuju za kulture kojima novi učenici pripadaju, kao i jezik kojim govore, uslov je za interkulturalno obrazovanje. U ovom radu predstavljena je implementacija interkulturalnog obrazovanja u nastavni proces koji je prilagođen, individualizovan i diferenciran. Trenutno u Srbiji je inkluzivno uključeno oko 700 učenika migranata u osnovne i nekoliko srednjih škola. Čineći bogatijom i raznovrsnijom, kako društvenu tako i školsku sredinu, interkulturalnost podstiče upoznavanje, razumevanje, poštovanje drugačijih stilova života i time proizvodi interkulturalnu osetljivost. Cilj ovog rada jeste da se ukaže, najpre, na značaj interkulturalnog obrazovanja i da se skrene pažnja na razvijanje interkulturalne komunikativne kompetencije nastavnika u školama, kao glavnih aktera ovakve moderne, interkulturalne nastave koja umanjuje diskriminaciju i podstiče toleranciju i razumevanje.

REDUCTION OF FRICTION LOSSES DUE TO THE VORTEX FLOW OF THE MAGNETIC FLUID CAUSED BY THE ADDITIVES OF CARBON NANOTUBES
Authors: Labkovich O. N. 
Published: July 2018

Magnetic fluids are promising lubricating material, in particular, in sliding bearings. With the aid of the magnetic system the magnetic fluid is held in the gap of friction that simplifies the design of the lubrication system sufficiently. It is known that when conventional lubricants (mineral oil, water) flow, with increasing of speed of rotation of the inner cylinder the transition of laminar flow in a vortex takes place. This dramatically increases the viscous friction losses. The friction losses in a wide range of speeds and possibilities of their decrease due to the vortex flow of the magnetic fluid in the gap between the cylinders are experimentally studied. It is revealed that when the dimensionless speed – number of Taylor equal to 41.2 – is reached, the slope of the curve of friction torque sharply increases, viscous losses also increase, i. e. there is a change laminar flow to a vortex one. The average temperature in the layer of the magnetic fluid reaches 60 оC. This factor leads to increased evaporation of the carrier liquid (water, mineral oil), which reduces the service life of the lubricant i.e. the magnetic fluid. In order to reduce viscous friction when a vortex flow of magnetic fluids takes place, carbon nanotubes, which are cylinders with a diameter of 5.0 nm and a length of about 0.1 mm, are brought into the magnetic fluid. Carbon nanotubes demonstrate elasticity under transverse bending: they curve under the impact of load, and after its removal they restore their original shape. They are also able to elongate along the axis by 16 % and to return to its original position after removal of the load. The effect of reducing friction (about 30 %) with a vortex flow of magnetic fluid by the introduction of carbon nanotubes in a magnetic fluid is experimentally obtained. The likely mechanism of friction reduction is the ability of nanotubes to deform under the influence of pressure pulsations and the velocity of the swirling flow, and to absorb partially a part of their energy. As it was experimentally demonstrated, there is an optimum weight concentration of the additive of nanotubes in the magnetic fluid (~10–4) that is associated with the maximum effect of reducing friction by 30 %. Thus, the insertion of carbon nanotubes in the lubricant (magnetic fluid) makes it possible to reduce the viscous friction and, consequently, to increase the range of operating speeds, to strengthen the online lubricant site.
ASYNCHRONOUS MOTOR WITH A HOLLOW PERFORATED ROTOR
Authors: Annenkov A. N. , Sizikov S. V. , Shiyanov A. I. 
Published: July 2018

The paper presents a brief analysis of the conducted researches of the asynchronous executive motors and the induction motor, as well as the design of the asynchronous executive motor with a hollow perforated rotor. The basic relationships for determining the geometry of the rotor that directly influences the energy performance of the electric machine are also presented. The calculations to determine the geometry of the windows, located within a part of the active length of the stator package in the zone adjacent to the solid frontal area of the surface of the barrel from the side of its end face that is opposite to the bottom of the rotor barrel. In an asynchronous motor with a hollow perforated rotor improvement of energy performance (increase of maximum torque, efficiency and cosj of the engine) is achieved. These advantages are provided by the fact that the windows in the hollow rotor barrel are located within the part of the active length of the stator package in the zone adjacent to the solid frontal section of the rotor barrel surface on its end face that is opposite to the bottom of the barrel. In accordance with the design of the hollow rotor, the bottom of the barrel of one of the ends acts as superconducting short-circulating ring, therefore the ratio of increase in resistance (caused by the transverse edge effect) depends on the distribution of the rotor currents in the area adjacent to the solid frontal portion of the surface of the barrel on end that is opposite to the bottom of the barrel. In the analysis of current density distribution in a hollow rotor with the axial length L', all electric constant and geometric dimensions that are taken into account in the calculation are known values. Arbitrarily set constants are the primary currents and the rotational frequency of the rotor. With the rotation speed increase, due to the presence of the windows on one end face of the rotor and to the impact of the bottom of the barrel on the other one, the elementary currents of the rotor within the active length of the machine boring would be directed mainly in the axial direction, including the cases of comparatively small slippage that corresponds to the small frequency of the alternating magnetization of the rotor material. I. e. a certain part of the active surface of the rotor on the end that is opposite to the bottom of its barrel would not function as the frontal part of the winding while reducing the frequency of currents in the rotor material. This provides an increase in the active component of the rotor current that is proportional to the electromagnetic torque of the motor. Correspondingly, the frontal parts of equivalent winding of the hollow rotor (through which the currents do not generate torque) would not be spread at high rotational speeds to the area of the active length of the machine.
Energetic Factors of a Frequency-Controlled Synchronous Electric Drive

Published: July 2018

As compared to asynchronous frequency-controlled electric drives, synchronous drives are characterized by lower power losses, rigid mechanical characteristics without speed feedback and by the simplest law of frequency control (when the voltage changes proportionally to the frequency). An analytical study of energy factors (power loss, efficiency, power factor) of frequencycontrolled synchronous motor with electromagnetic ignition and with excitation caused by permanent magnets has been fulfilled. The efficiency of the power converter, in this case (i. e. in the case of the frequency converter), depends on the structure of the converter (single-link or two-link), on the power semiconductor devices being used, on additional elements (i. e. chokes, capacitors, transformers, active resistance, etc.). The efficiency of a synchronous electric motor (which is a cofactor of general efficiency of a controlled synchronous electric drive) is of an interest in the scalar frequency control of the mentioned synchronous motor, since there are almost no publications on this subject. Therefore, the energy conversion efficiency of the synchronous motor, which receives energy from the frequency converter at different frequencies and converts to mechanical energy, has been considered. For the convenience of analytical research, we used the widely used concept of relative frequency as the ratio of the current value of the voltage frequency to the nominal one. It is demonstrated that the maximum efficiency is shifted in the direction of a lower load factor with a decrease in the relative frequency of the motor supply voltage. The method of calculating the energy performance of variable frequency synchronous motor that has been developed is illustrated by the graphs of efficiency and cosj for the engine of the SD3 13-34-6 type of the capacity of 500 kW and of a voltage of 6 kV and for a synchronous motor with permanent magnets of the YGT132S4 type of a capacity of 5.5 kW.
