Hyperconcept CONVERT TO CHRISTIANITY Reconstruction in English, German and Ukrainian Texts of Religious Popular Discourse
Authors: Cherkhava О. О. 
Published: September 2018

The article covered the hyperconcept CONVERT TO CHRISTIANITY reconstruction in English, German, Ukrainian informative and agitational texts of religious popular discourse. This mental construction has been established through the profiling of Biblical quotations transposed in the religious popular discourse texts of informative (identified four types) and agitational character (identified nine types) according to the mechanisms of Biblical knowledge metaphorization. It has been proven that the informative texts sense implicitly stimulates the recipient to have inner mindset about own life (without a mediator). The agitational texts have the same elements and constructions, but are open-ended or have a rhetorical questions stimulating the recipient to contact the religious organization (the mediator).The kernel of this hyperconcept presents the concept RIGHTEOUS LIFE with subordinated concepts FOLLOWING CHRIST, BEING NOT INDIFFERENT, REPENT, PURIFICATION, REQUEST (ASK), STRENGTH FORMING, GRATITUDE (THANK), that form dominant or optional senses in informative and agitational texts of religious popular discourse representing figurative and evaluative hyperconcept zone. In English and German Religious Magazine texts and Religious Calendar Guides the metaphoric concept STRENGTH FORMING dominates, whereas in the Ukrainian variants – the concept REQUEST; in the International Religious Festival Booklet – the concept FOLLOWING CHRIST, in the texts of Religious Synod Meeting Booklet – the concept BEING NOT INDIFFERENT – in English, German and Ukrainian languages. In agitational texts the dominant metaphoric senses are not revealed. Nevertheless, English text environment provides more concise representation of every sense (reflecting author’s individuality) or hierarchical fusion of different variant senses, German – determined conception with highly represented author-text-creator, Ukrainian – national symbols priority with mercy, ask or call to unite verbal depiction.

The growing number of Japanese tourists to Bali has resulted in large numbers of workers in the tourism sector, such as Japanese language tour guide, GRO and hotel staff, Japanese travel agency staff and others. To provide good service to Japanese tourists, the quality of tourism practitioners also need to be improved both from the attitude, hospitality, security and the ability to speak Japanese so that Japanese tourists feel comfortable while on the island of Bali. Efforts to improve the ability of Japanese language, the vocabulary knowledge of tour guide is needed to be able to use the vocabulary in context. Based on the phenomenon, then this paper discusses the variety of Japanese vocabulary that is often used when doing tourism activities in some tourist attractions in Gianyar regency. The problems discussed in this paper is what kind of tourist vocabulary is commonly spoken Japanese tourists when visiting the tourist attraction on the island of Bali. In general, this study aims to support the program of Welcome to Bali in order to become more popular bali tourism that can increase the number of Japanese tourists to come to visit the island of Bali. The specific purpose of this research is to (1) know the Japanese language vocabulary of tourism spoken by Japanese tourists so that the vocabulary can be used as a reference for tourism practitioners in order to increase the knowledge of Japanese language vocabulary of tourism. The approach used in this study is a qualitative approach. Research approach by processing the data source that is descriptive by using descriptive method qualitatif. The research was done in tourist object in Ubud area. The data types are primary data with lingual data sources obtained from Japanese tourist communications. The observations show that the vocabulary spoken by Japanese tourists is a vocabulary that is related to cultural and natural activities such as esute, chiketto, raisu terasu, kojin takushi, mise, subarashii. Japanese tourists often use joshi as a complement to a speech to tourism practitioners in communicating. Joshi also sometimes omitted in speech but still acceptable.
Derivational affixes in Japanese and Indonesian
Authors: Darlina Lien 
Published: September 2018

Japanese and Indonesian seen from morphological typology is an agglutinative language in which the morphological processes are done by affixation, ie by adding prefixes, suffixes and infixes. While the basic sequence sentence structure has a SOV sequence pattern for Japanese and SVO for Indonesian language. The predicate filled by the verb is capable of binding arguments in constructing the clause structure, so that there are verbs with one, two and three arguments, it depends on the type of verb. This study is a preliminary study of Japanese and Indonesian derivative verbs: the study of linguistic typology. The Theory of Linguistic Typology is used to analyze the formation of Japanese and Indonesian derivative verbs in which the verb serves as the core of the predicate to bind the argument in constructing the clause structure. From the perspective of linguistic typology, the results of the analysis show that (1) the basic form of Japanese derivative verb formers are adjectives (keiyoushi) and noun verbs, whereas Indonesian derivative verbs are derived from adjectives, nouns and pre-categorical. (2) The Japanese derivation affixes joining the adjective (keiyoushi) are -める meru, -まるmaru, -がるgaru’, -むmu and which joins the noun verb is -するsuru. While the derivational affix of the Indonesian language that joined the nouns are meng-, ber-, ter-, ke-an, ber-an, ber-kan, per-, -i, per-i, per-kan, the affix that joins the adjective are meng-, ber-, ter-, ke-an, ber-an, ber-kan, per-, -kan, per-i, dan –i and the affixes that join the pre-categorical are meng-, ter-, ber-, ber-an, -i,-kan.

Published: September 2018

Introduction: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is one of the most prevalent cause of acute hepatitis in humans worldwide. The risk of HEV transmission is not limited only to spread from human to human but the infection can also spread from animals to humans, especially from the domestic pigs. Despite mounting evidence regarding the zoonotic potential of porcine HEV infection, there are limited data on its prevalence in pigs in the sub-Sahara Africa region. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of HEV antibodies among pigs in two Cameroonian regions.
Methodology: A total of 162 sera were collected from slaughtered-age pigs from January to March 2012. To determine whether pigs might represent a HEV reservoir in the Northern and Western region in Cameroon, anti-HEV IgG and IgM were tested by ELISA using commercials available kits.
Results: Overall, 70 of the 162 samples (43.2%, 95% CI: 35.5% - 51.2%) were positive for at least one of the serological markers of HEV infection (IgM and / or IgG).We observed a significant seroprevalence of HEV antibodies between the northern and western regions (60% (42/70) and 40% (28/70), p = 0.01796) respectively.
Conclusion: Overall, this study reports a high seroprevalence of Hepatitis E virus antibodies in slaughter pigs in Cameroon. Our findings suggest that pigs might be a cause of zoonotic HEV transmission in Cameroon. Therefore, further studies are warranted to establish the dynamics of zoonotic HEV and characterize the different genotypes circulating in humans and pigs.

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistant bacterial infections are widespread globally and increases in antimicrobial resistance presents a major threat to public health. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic healthcare-associated pathogen with high rates of morbidity and mortality and an extensive range of resistance mechanisms. This study describes the antibiotic susceptibility profiles of P. aeruginosa isolates from patients with bacteraemia submitted by sentinel laboratories in South Africa from 2014 to 2015.
Methodology: Organism identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were done using automated systems. Molecular methods were used to detect common resistance genes and mechanisms.
Results: Overall the susceptibility was high for all antibiotics tested with a decrease over the two-year period. There was no change in the MIC50 and MIC90 breakpoints for all antibiotics from 2014 to 2015. The MIC50 was within the susceptible breakpoint range for most antibiotics and the MIC90 was within the susceptible breakpoint range for colistin only. Phenotypically carbapenem non-susceptible isolates harboured the following plasmid-mediated genes: blaVIM (n = 81, 12%) and blaGES (n = 6, 0.9%); blaNDM (n = 4, 0.6%) and blaOXA-48 and variants (n = 3, 0.45%). Porin deletions were observed in one meropenem non-susceptible isolate only, and multi-drug resistance efflux pumps were expressed in the majority of the non-susceptible isolates investigated. BlaVEB-1, blaIMP and blaKPC were not detected.
Conclusion: The prevalence of resistance to commonly used antibacterial agents was low for P. aeruginosa isolates and similarly, tested resistance mechanisms were detected in a relatively small proportion of isolates. Findings in this study represent baseline information for understanding antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in P. aeruginosa isolates from blood. Our surveillance report may assist in contributing to hospital treatment guidelines.

Published: September 2018

Introduction: Urinary tract infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli bacteria are the most common cause of urinary tract infections. Drug resistant Escherichia coli is results in high levels of treatment failure and can be a significant threat to survival of patients.
Methodology: Escherichia coli bacteria were isolated using culture and conventional biochemical tests. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing and plasmid profile were performed using the Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method and plasmid analysis. Data was processed with SPSS version 16.0 and Epi-info version 3.4.1 software.
Results: The highest proportion of Escherichia coli isolates was resistant to (86.5%) to ampicillin, followed by ceftazidime (84%), ceftriaxone (80.5%), tetracycline (80%), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (68.5%) and cefotaxime (66%). Escherichia coli isolates were most susceptible to meropenem (100%), imipenem (100%), amikacin (97.5%), nitrofurantoin (95%), ciprofloxacin (85.5%), norfloxacin (85%), chloramphenicol (83.5%), gentamycin (80%) and nalidixic acid (79%). Multidrug resistance (MDR) was observed in most (96.5%) E. coli isolates. Plasmid analysis revealed the presence of plasmid(s) in 165 (82.5%) of the E. coli isolates many of which had a plasmid size of 23 kb.
Conclusions: The overall incidence of antibiotic resistance (including MDR) among E. coli in this study was high to commonly used antibiotics, but no drug resistance to meropenem and imipenem was observed. Periodic monitoring of the drug resistance pattern is essential for better management of urinary tract infections, which has direct impact on the outcome of the patient.

Background:
The purpose of this study was to identify temporal trends in the management of pediatric femoral shaft fractures in 4- and 5-year-old children.

Methods:
The Kids' Inpatient Database was used to extract data on patients aged 4 and 5 years with closed femoral shaft fractures. The frequency of nonsurgical and surgical management was calculated, and temporal trends were evaluated.

Results:
Between 1997 and 2012, the absolute increase in surgical fixation was 35% and 58% in 4- and 5-year-old patients, respectively. The surgical rate increased every 3 years by 13.8% in 4-year-old patients and 7.6% in 5-year-old patients. Significant associations were noted based on demographics, comorbidities, and hospital characteristics with management decisions.

Conclusions:
A clear and significant increase was noted in internal fixation for pediatric femoral shaft fractures in 4- and 5-year-old children, and the lower age limit for surgical management of these fractures is decreasing.

Incidence of Nerve Injury After Hip Arthroscopy
Authors: Kern Michael J. , Murray Ryan S. , Sherman Thomas I. , Postma William F. 
Published: September 2018

Introduction:
Hip arthroscopy is a commonly performed procedure that carries a notable risk of nerve injury secondary to port placement and the use of axial traction. Sensory neurapraxia of the pudendal nerve and the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve is most common; however, sexual dysfunction and sciatic nerve injury has also been reported. Reported incidence of nerve injury ranges between 1.4% and 5% in the literature, but much of these data are based on unsolicited patient concerns. This study aimed to determine the true rate of nerve injury among this patient population through administration of a validated survey at multiple time points.

Methods:
A prospective study of all patients undergoing hip arthroscopy requiring traction by a single surgeon at our institution was performed. These cases were the first 100 hip arthroscopies performed in practice by the surgeon. Before surgery, all patients were asked about the presence of neuropathic symptoms including sexual dysfunction through administration of a validated questionnaire. The same questionnaire was then administered at several time points postoperatively: on the day of surgery, on postoperative day 2, at the first follow-up visit, and if symptoms persisted, then at each follow-up appointment until resolution of the symptoms. Overall incidence of nerve injury was then calculated. Subgroup analyses were performed to investigate whether traction time, sex, body mass index (BMI), or technically demanding surgical skills affected the incidence.

Results:
This study included a total of 100 patients with an average age of 29 (13 to 62) years and an average BMI of 25. Nerve injury was seen in 13 patients with an incidence of 13%. Specific nerves injured included the pudendal (9), lateral femoral cutaneous (2), sciatic (1), and superficial peroneal nerves (1). Subgroup analysis did not demonstrate a notable association between the risk of nerve injury and increased traction time, sex, or increased BMI. The technically demanding surgical skills was associated with a notable decrease in the traction time, but no notable difference in the risk of nerve injury was observed. Most nerve injuries resolved within 2 weeks (8 of 13), and all cases of nerve injury resolved within 9 months.

Discussion and Conclusions:
The incidence of nerve injury after hip arthroscopy may be markedly higher than previously reported; however, resolution seems to occur as previously found in the literature. Patients should be educated regarding the risk of nerve injury during this procedure.

Purpose:To report the incidence of posterior medial meniscocapsular junction (PMCJ) separation in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and to evaluate its biomechanical effect on the ACL.Methods:Three hundred thirty-seven consecutive patients undergoing isolated primary ACL reconstruction were retrospectively analyzed for PMCJ lesion. Forty-four patients were identified with PMCJ lesion and studied. Eight cadaver knees underwent biomechanical testing to determine anterior tibial displacement and anteromedial bundle ACL strain in the intact, PMCJ lesion, and PMCJ repair states at 0°, 30°, 60°, and 90° of flexion. Mixed-effects linear regression with Bonferroni correction was used for statistical analysis.Results:PMCJ tear incidence with ACL disruption was 13.1%. Specimen with PMCJ tears had statistically increased anterior tibial translation at 30° (1.2 mm;P< 0.01) and statistically increased ACL strain at 30° (24%;P< 0.01) and 90° (50%;P< 0.01). With PMCJ repair, translation reduced (P> 0.05) by 12%, 18%, and 10% at 0°, 30°, and 90° of flexion, respectively. PMCJ repair reduced (P< 0.05) ACL strain by 40%, 39%, 43%, and 31% at 0°, 30°, 60°, and 90° of flexion, respectively.Conclusions:A PMCJ lesion was observed in 13% of ACL injuries. This injury contributes to increased ACL strain, and PMCJ repair markedly reduces ACL strain to preinjury levels.
Length change behavior of autoclaved aerated concrete at various relative humidity: Comparison between Japanese and Vietnamese AACs
Authors: Nguyen Trong Lam , Asamoto Shingo , Matsui Kunio 
Published: September 2018

AbstractThis paper presents an experimental study on the sorption isotherm and length change behavior of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) in both desorption and adsorption processes. Two types of Vietnamese AAC and one type of Japanese AAC with different pore size distributions were used for the tests. The experimental results show that the length change strain of AAC during the adsorption process is mostly larger than that in the first desorption process even though the water content in the adsorption process is lower. Interestingly, a clear expansion in the desorption process at relative humidity (RH) from about 90% to 65% is observed in Japanese AAC but not in Vietnamese AACs; and a significant shrinkage hysteresis at high RH (RH > 65%) is observed in all types of AAC. Both of these behaviors can be explained by capillary tension model taking into account the effect of pore size distribution of each AAC and the explanation is further supported by the reduction of shrinkage in desorption process of AACs that are immersed in solution with shrinkage reducing agent. In addition, the surface energy model is applied to explain the length change during the adsorption process and at lower RH in desorption process for all types of AAC.
Early hydration process of the cement–lime system

Published: September 2018

AbstractAutoclaved aerated concrete is a widely used wall material, of which the cementitious materials are cement and lime. In this study, hydration process of the cement–lime system and the influence of initial temperature, water to lime and cement ratio (W/LC), and lime to cement ratio (L/C) on the cement–lime system heat release process were investigated during the first 2 h of hydration. The results indicate that the hydration process of the cement–lime system can be divided into three stages – initial stage, middle stage, and final stage. A prolonged hydration time can be observed with a lower initial temperature, higher W/LC, and lower L/C. The hydration time doubles for every 10°C reduction in initial temperature. A lower W/LC moves the induction and acceleration periods forward but decreases hydration rates if without the effect of the heat released. There might be a critical point of CaO dosage in the cement–CaO system that can change the hydration mechanism. The investigations uncover regulations and effect factors of the hydration process of the cement–lime system which can help to improve the quantity of autoclaved aerated concrete.
Zeolite as a raw material to the AAC production
Authors: Grabowska Ewelina 
Published: September 2018

AbstractNatural zeolites have a long history as a precious raw material in various fields—in catalysis, environmental protection (as sorbents), in agriculture (in fertilizers), as well as in everyday life (as ingredients of detergents). In the last two decades, the possibility of using them in the building material technology began to be taken into account. The paper considers several ways of application of natural clinoptillolite in the autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) production. Investigations concern the possibility of zeolite dosing as a cement substitute, part of the binder (raw material in the form of a mixture with blast furnace slag), additive to a sand slurry, and a partial substitute of gypsum (used in the AAC recipe). The testing program includes thermal analysis (TG/DTA), phase composition (X‐ray powder diffraction), microscopic observation (scanning electron microscope/energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy), and strength properties of samples autoclaved under existing industrial conditions. The results summary complements the benefits of using zeolite in AAC technology.
The spread of concentrated loads on AAC using digital image correlation techniques
Authors: Fudge Clifford , Edgell Geoff 
Published: September 2018

AbstractBackgroundThere has debate around the way in which the spread of concentrated loads is assumed in masonry codes in masonry. In addition, there is no data available to assess the spread of loads across the joints of storey height AAC elements.AimsThe aim was to reconfirm the angle of spread in masonry from a concentrated load and to assess whether this could be applied to storey height elements.Materials and MethodsA project took to study the strain development in AAC masonry walls subjected to a single concentrated load. A second project studied walls made from AAC storey height panels subjected to uniform vertical load on one element within a set of 3. Test work was carried out using Digital Image Correlation (DIC).ResultsThe results clearly justified the current design assumptions in Eurocode 6. In the case of storey height elements, the load effects were transmitted across the vertical joint.ConclusionsThe tests carried out on AAC masonry showed that the spread of concentrated loads is in line of the current recommendations of Eurocode 6. The results justify the when designing with storey height elements, for vertical loading the principals of masonry design can be used.
