Paediatric nurses' adoption of aseptic non-touch technique
Authors: Isaac Rachel , Einion Alys B , Griffiths T Howard 
Published: January 2019

Background: in 2015, NHS Wales introduced a national standardised approach to aseptic non-touch technique (ANTT). This approach aims to standardise practice and promote better clinical outcomes. Aim: to provide insight into the challenges faced by clinical staff adopting ANTT during intravenous therapy. Methods: focused ethnography across two paediatric wards in NHS Wales. Data collection included participant observation, audit questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed according to Wolcott's (1994) process and emerging themes were reflected upon against the theoretical framework of Kirkpatrick's (1994) model of training evaluation. Findings: absence of feedback following training, individual preference, lack of opportunity to practise the ANTT technique, lack of clarity and standardisation and expectations of parents/medical staff are all challenges faced by registered nurses. Implications of the study: the findings may be used by NHS managers to support national initiatives within staff training and development programmes, and to improve infection prevention initiatives. Organisational culture is a modifier of healthcare worker behaviour and requires further attention locally and nationally. Quality assurance in the adoption of standardised best practice must take into account staff training and development needs, and workplace culture.
Chronic idiopathic pain following implant placement in the anterior maxilla: a case series
Authors: Patel Jaymit , Nixon Peter 
Published: January 2019

Abstract: This article reports on three patients who presented with pain following placement of dental implants in the anterior maxilla. It aims to document a rare complication of implant placement which arguably requires further investigation through characterization of cases. Three cases in total were identified and the literature review identified only one previous case series. All three cases were characterized by idiopathic pain which presented, in some cases, in a delayed fashion following fixture placement. All cases failed to resolve following treatment. Persistent chronic idiopathic pain is a recently described risk of dental implant placement. This case series highlights the need for careful case selection and informed consent, particularly when considering changing paradigms relating to consent procedures. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This case series aims to raise awareness for this rare complication of implant placement in the anterior maxilla. It highlights the importance of thorough pre-surgical investigation, planning and consent.

Authors: Achal Kulraj S , Naini Farhad B , Gill Daljit S 
Published: January 2019

Abstract: Individuals with severe dentofacial discrepancies that are beyond the scope of conventional orthodontic treatment will often require a joint orthodontic-surgical approach to manage their malocclusion. This treatment approach involving orthodontics in combination with orthognathic surgery is used to manage severe underlying skeletal discrepancies in the anterior-posterior (AP), vertical and transverse dimensions. The purpose of this article is to highlight the principles of orthognathic treatment. The general dental practitioner (GDP) plays an important role in maintaining dental health, especially whilst patients are on the orthognathic care pathway. Patients may also seek the advice of the GDP about the possible benefits of such a treatment approach before deciding to embark upon treatment.CPD/Clinical Relevance: It is important for GDPs to understand the principles of orthognathic management in order to support their patients through treatment.

Untitled
Authors: Ersmark Åsa 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
In our culture, women are pressured, by conventions of decorum and supposed hygiene to conceal any sign of their menstruation, and yet what a common and inescapable visual presence this blood is in women’s lives. Fungi, which bloom out of the charred remains of burnt-out forests, remind us that change occurs in cycles. Ersmark engages cyclical temporality and the ambiguous visual status of menstruation, to render mushrooms that appear at ephemeral, but which endure and proliferate. The paintings’ psychedelic permanence remains — like stains on a mattress.
Unsettling Inscriptions: An Interview with Michael Gaudio
Authors: Litwack Michael , Gaudio Michael 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Michael Gaudio is an art historian whose far-reaching scholarship has transformed archival and theoretical approaches to the visual cultures of the early modern Atlantic world. In this interview, Gaudio considers smoke’s (dis)organizing vocation within the archives of early colonial modernity. Following smoke’s pathways leads to a discussion of the structure and limits of representation; ephemerality and protocols of reading; the racialized vexations of materiality; and the possibilities of thinking the question of medium otherwise.
Jade Windscreen Powder: Sympoietic Tissue Sludge Compostition

Published: January 2019

Abstract
Jade Windscreen Powder: w Tissue Sludge Compostition
A collaborative project between Kang and La Melia, Jade Windscreen Powder: w Tissue Sludge Compostition results from a shared interest in screens and netting, which each has explored previously in their own, individual artistic practices. This text, part of an ongoing series of e-mails, takes the form of a fictional, expansive conversation between Tick and Laver, a pest and a weed, respectively. It begins at the edge of a forest and moves between a garden, an art gallery, a memory, Surrey BC, a daydream; environs are provisional and fleeting while identities shift in voice and shape. The artists glean from a wide-cast net of references, from science and technology studies, to poetry, to queer theory, to personal stories and fantasies. The initial objects, the screen and net, become a permeable membrane, an ultra-sensitive space or container, becoming with that which it contains. Encounter becomes shape with a name.

Published: January 2019

As an institution engaged in SMK Muhammadiyah 03 Yogyakarta requires network infrastructure as a medium of communication. Infrastructure in SMK Muhammadiyah based VLAN but still using static routing and star topologies as a medium of communication between router. This leads to the main router performance overburdened which makes the network infrastructure down. It is necessary to reform the network, especially in the communication protocol on the router by using protocol Open Shortest Path First(OSPF). OSPF is a link state-based routing protocol that uses Dijkstra’s algorithm to find the best path is taken as a communication medium. Makin paths made by considering various aspects of the parameters that affect network traffic. OSPF can minimize down on network infrastructure caused by the buren of a huge traffic to maintain the stability of traffic on communication lines. The results using the method QOS on infrastructure with the OSPF protocol can be classified very nice. It is obtaine from the measurement parameter delay <150 ms, packet loss (0%), an bandwidth has a very goo category based on the standard TIPHON. From the results of the QOS parameters also obtained a decrease in delay value by 31% on infrastructure with the OSPF protocol. This proves that the network traffic is more stable when using OSPF protocol.
Organic Molecules in the Icy Bodies of Planetary Systems – Accepted Notions and New Ideas
Authors: Simonia Irakli , Cruikshank Dale P. 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Cometary bodies are acknowledged to contain some of the most pristine matter in the Solar System, including ices and minerals. Certain number of previously unidentified spectral emission features detected in comets can be explained as emission by hydrocarbon molecules enclosed in a Shpolskii matrix and forming frozen hydrocarbon particles. UV-induced photoluminescence spectra of several self-organized molecules exhibit emission lines coincident with unidentified cometary lines, and open the possibility of the presence of this complex organic as components of the pristine organic inventory of comets. Complex organic was detected also in three satellites of Saturn. We describe in this paper results of our investigation of complex organic of the small bodies and present new approaches and hypotheses.

Published: January 2019

Abstract
The chemical durability of phosphate-based glasses (PGs) in an aqueous environment is crucial in determining their dissolution properties and their ultimate performance in vivo. In this study, inverse gas chromatography (IGC) and dynamic vapour sorption (DVS)were used to investigate the short-term aqueous interactions of PG particles doped with SiO2 and TiO2 (50P2O5-40CaO-xSiO2- (10-x)TiO2, where x=7, 5, 3, and 0 mol%). IGC was used to evaluate the solubility parameter and surface energy of PGs. A good correlation between the polar parts of the solubility parameter and surface energy with glass transition temperature (Tg) and dissolution rates was demonstrated. DVS was applied to monitor the sorption characteristics of the PG particles. An increase in silica content resulted in greater vapour sorption and mass change. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy data of the PGs post exposure to vapour demonstrated that increased SiO2 content disrupted the glass network and formed protonated phosphate species. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy verified the presence of non-reacted water molecules in the PGs depending on SiO2 content. Moreover, there was a good correlation between the values measured through IGC and DVS, demonstrating the ability of both techniques in predicting the dissolution properties of PGs as consequence of alterations in their chemistry.
A qualitative survey on frequent subgraph mining
Authors: Güvenoglu Büsra , Bostanoglu Belgin Ergenç 
Published: January 2019

AbstractData mining is a popular research area that has been studied by many researchers and focuses on finding unforeseen and important information in large databases. One of the popular data structures used to represent large heterogeneous data in the field of data mining is graphs. So, graph mining is one of the most popular subdivisions of data mining. Subgraphs that are more frequently encountered than the user-defined threshold in a database are called frequent subgraphs. Frequent subgraphs in a database can give important information about this database. Using this information, data can be classified, clustered and indexed. The purpose of this survey is to examine frequent subgraph mining algorithms (i) in terms of frequent subgraph discovery process phases such as candidate generation and frequency calculation, (ii) categorize the algorithms according to their general attributes such as input type, dynamicity of graphs, result type, algorithmic approach they are based on, algorithmic design and graph representation as well as (iii) to discuss the performance of algorithms in comparison to each other and the challenges faced by the algorithms recently.
Empowering Signs: Writing and e-motions in Michel Houellebecq’s Platform
Authors: Lozier Claire 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
This article explores the working of the cultural literacy concepts of rhetoricity and textuality in Michel Houellebecq’s third novel Platform through the lens of French philosopher Frederic Lordon’s affect theory, with a view to understanding the way emotions and motion operate jointly through writing in this post-travel literature text dealing with the contemporary travel industry, sex tourism, and emotional alienation. As such, it contributes to the current reassessment of the role played by emotions in human interactions. By exploring the specific layered textuality of Platform, which purposefully recycles a series of discursive cliches and tropes, I show how Houellebecq’s writing style demands to be considered not only for its literary value but also for its potent, and perhaps unexpected, moving effects, or rhetoricity, which invite readers to reconsider their perception of alterity-i.e. the world and the other-but also of the performative power of art and literature. In order to demonstrate this, the article looks first at the failure of travel writing orchestrated in the novel; it then analyses alternative textual modalities of affect mediation trialed in the text; and finally, it considers the strategies used in Platform to “empowerise” signs and, as a result, those who read them.
On the Performance of Protected and Online Routing Enabled Translucent Space Division Multiplexing-Based Elastic Optical Networks
Authors: Iyer Sridhar 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
In this article, we focus on the optimization of lightpath routing in an online Space Division Multiplexing-based Elastic Optical Network (SDM-b-EON) which is protected by the dedicated route protection (DRP) strategy. In view of the aforementioned, the Online Protection and Routing Algorithm with Regeneration (OPaRAwR) method is proposed which (i) protects the lightpaths through DRP, (ii) accounts for the presence of transceivers in the network, and (iii) ensures the routing of translucent lightpaths through the spectral super-channels over the spatial modes links. In regard to regeneration, we investigate two scenarios which differ in their regeneration variability level in addition to the adjustment of modulation formats (MFs) as per the transmission route characteristics. Extensive simulation experiments are conducted considering realistic transmission reach values and two realistic network topologies. The obtained simulation results demonstrate that the proposed OPaRAwR method significantly outperforms various reference techniques in terms of bandwidth blocking probability (BwBP). In addition, the results also show that significant benefits can be obtained in regard to the utilization of resources (spectrum and transceivers) with much lesser BwBP when the regeneration is conducted with complete flexibility and MF conversion is also permitted at every node of the SDM-b-EON.

Modelling with Dispersed Bivariate Moving Average Processes
Authors: Sunecher Yuvraj , Mamode Khan Naushad , Jowaheer Vandna 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
This paper proposes a non-stationary bivariate integer-valued moving average of order 1 (BINMA(1)) model where the respective innovations are marginal COM-Poisson and unrelated. As opposed to other such bivariate time series model, the dependence between the series in the above is constructed via the relation between the current series with survivor elements of the other series at the preceding time point. Under these assumptions, the BINMA(1) process is shown to accommodate different levels and combinations of over-, equi- and under-dispersion. Since under the non-stationary conditions, the joint likelihood function is hardly laborious to construct, a generalized quasi-likelihood (GQL) method of estimation is proposed to estimate the dynamic effects and dependence parameters. The asymptotic and consistency properties of the GQL estimators are also established. Monte-Carlo experiments and a real-life application to analyze intra-day stock transactions are presented to validate the proposed model and the estimation methodology.

A new algorithm for real economy benefit evaluation based on big data analysis
Authors: Wang Zhuo , Saedudin Rd Rohmat 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Based on the Sino-foreign petroleum cooperation project, the benefit evaluation algorithm of real economy based on big data analysis is proposed. The investment payback period, net present value, internal rate of return, discounted profit after investment and option value are selected as the benefit evaluation indicators of the real economy. The benchmark yield, discount rate and oil option parameters are defined as the benefits evaluation parameters of the real economy. Through the Delphi method and the analytic hierarchy process, the weight of each factor is specified. The method of expert independent scoring is used to construct the judgment matrix, and the consistency check is performed on the sort. The feature quantity matrix of the evaluation indicator is established to perform dimensionless processing on the original data. The project’s economic benefit indicators are divided into positive indicators of “ideal economic benefits” and negative indicators of “negative economic benefits”, the grey correlations are calculated, and real economic benefits are assessed. The results of project example analysis show that the algorithm not only realizes the whole life cycle management of overseas oil and gas cooperation projects, but also conducts tracking and evaluation of project implementation and economic benefits during the implementation process, and conducts sensitivity analysis on key indicators, that provides effective decision support for managers.
Optimization design of reconfiguration algorithm for high voltage power distribution network based on ant colony algorithm
Authors: Li Zhen , Zhang Yao , Aqeel Ashraf Muhammad 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Distribution network reconfiguration is a very complex and large-scale combinatorial optimization problem. In network reconfiguration, whether an effective solution can be obtained is a key issue. Aiming at the problems in network reconstruction by traditional algorithm, such as long time required, more times of power flow calculation and high network loss, a network optimization design algorithm based on improved ant colony algorithm for high voltage power distribution network is proposed. After analyzing the operating characteristics of the high voltage power distribution network, the network topology of the high voltage power distribution network is described by constructing a hierarchical variable-structure distribution network model. A mathematical model of distribution network reconstruction considering the opportunity constraint with the minimum network loss as the objective function is established. The power flow distribution is calculated by using the pre-push back-generation method combined with the hierarchical structure of the distribution network. The maximum and minimum ant colony algorithm is introduced to improve the pheromone updating method of the traditional ant colony algorithm, and the search range is expanded, so that the algorithm can jump out of the local optimization trap to realize the accurate solution of the power distribution network reconstruction model. The experimental results show that compared with the current network reconstruction algorithm, the proposed algorithm requires less time for convergence, less power flow calculation, and lower network loss.
Feasibility simulation of aseismic structure design for long-span bridges
Authors: Lai Li 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
In the traditional finite element analysis method, when simulating the feasibility of aseismic structure design of long-span bridges, only finite element analysis is carried out on the bridge structure without considering the aseismic situation of the aseismic structure of the bridge under different schemes, which leads to one-sidedness of the simulation results. Therefore, a new simulation method for the feasibility study of seismic design of long-span bridges is proposed in this paper. 5 seismic isolation schemes for long-span bridge structures are designed. The lock-up devices and liquid viscous dampers are deployed in bridge structure. Numerical simulation of bridge structure is carried out by establishing calculation model and improved hierarchical Kerr spring model. The responses of long-span bridges under seismic loading for 5 seismic isolation schemes are analyzed. On this basis, the seismic performance of long-span bridges is tested by using the multi-point excitation motion equation, the response power spectrum and the structural dynamic reliability analysis based on the first transcendental failure criterion. Experimental results show that all the five seismic isolation schemes are feasible, and the seismic effect of the schemes 4 and 5 is the strongest. The maximum horizontal thrust of pier top is 6.27E+062, 0.50E+07 and 6.00E+06, 2.78E+07, respectively. The proposed method can be used to simulate the seismic response of long-span bridges.
