Published: June 2019

AbstractA novel perovskite-type oxide PbFeO3 was successfully synthesized under a pressure as high as 7GPa, and the crystal structure, oxidation state, thermal stability, magnetic and dielectric properties were investigated. PbFeO3 possesses an orthorhombic perovskite unit cell and there is no phase transition between room temperature and 570 K. This compound decomposes into Pb2Fe2O5 in the vicinity of 740 K in air. According to XPS, it was found that this compound includes the Pb2+, Pb4+, and Fe3+ ions.
Electrospinning of Single-Crystal Vanadium Oxide Nanorods
Authors: Ban Chunmei , Whittingham M. Stanley 
Published: June 2019

AbstractVanadium oxide nanorods intercalated with lithium cations have been successfully formed by the hydrothermal treatment of electrospun precursors. The novelty of this synthesis method is the control of the morphology of the vanadium nanorod precursor by the electrospinning process, and then to convert to the desired compound with loss of the organic polymer while maintaining the morphology through a hydrothermal treatment. Transmission llectron microcopy shows that the single nanorods formed have a square shape cross-section with a width of less than 100nm. Electron diffraction shows that each nanorod is a single crystal, and X-ray diffraction shows that the nanorods have a layered structure with a 10.5 Å layer spacing. Their characterization, magnetic and electrochemical behavior and variable chemical composition are described together with the opportunities electrospinning presents for forming novel materials.
The Edible Microchip: A Hands On Overview of the Semiconductor Manufacturing Process
Authors: Gleixner Stacy H. 
Published: June 2019

ABSTRACTThe Edible Microchip is a hands on workshop where participants fabricate on wafer (sugar wafers, that is) transistors. The transistors may not have cutting edge gate lengths. They may not have the industry standard for oxide thickness. Technically, they won't even work. However, they will be the tastiest microchips ever made, guaranteed!The “fabrication” of the edible microchip will be used to step through semiconductor manufacturing using the medium of decorating cookies to explain each process step. The main steps that are covered in the demonstration are doping, deposition, and photolithography. By actively replicating these steps on cookies, the participants gain a good overview of the semiconductor process sequence regardless of their technical background.The scope of technical information in the Edible Microchip program can be tailored for a range of ages and technical backgrounds. It can be used as a materials engineering recruitment tool for grades 6–12 audiences and lower division college students. The workshop can also be used to give an educational and entertaining introduction to semiconductor manufacturing for engineering students of varying disciplines.
Reducing the Costs of Laboratory Instruction through the Use of On-Line Laboratory Instruction
Authors: Pope David P. , Anderson Helen L. 
Published: June 2019

ABSTRACTThis paper describes a new program for teaching undergraduate laboratories in the School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Pennsylvania based on the idea that laboratories can be taught more efficiently, less expensively, and better through the use of World Wide Web-based technology. This technology is used to help the students prepare themselves before coming to the laboratory by becoming acquainted with the equipment, going through pre-lab exercises and taking pre-lab quizzes, both on the content of the work and on the safety considerations of the laboratory, all through web-based exercises.We have shown that by using web-based teaching tools we can both improve the quality of an undergraduate laboratory while, at the same time, reducing costs. We have accomplished this by making a number of changes in the way laboratory courses are offered:1. We are changing the way students prepare for laboratory periods by putting more information on the web, beginning the laboratories online before class.2. We have instituted an institution-wide system of on-line grading.3. We have shown that the costs of laboratory equipment can be dramatically reduced by using of special software on desktop computers to convert the computers into “virtual instruments”.4. We have estimated the costs of teaching some of our laboratories using the so-called “ingredients method” of cost analysis and have shown that we are accomplishing substantial cost savings, up to 20%, in some cases.

Influencing factors on further development of bilingual education in Macedonia
Authors: Hajrullai Hajrulla 
Published: June 2019

Macedonia has implemented bilingualism in schools for more than a decade. However, this bilingualism has been realized in a step-by-step program in the Macedonian schools by introducing minorities to bilingual programs first starting from primary, then secondary and lately tertiary education in mother language of minorities. This approach was originally thought to help minority students learn the majority language and in that way find their way in the market economy. In practice, bilingual programs in Macedonian schools as well as teacher training programs in the state universities have limited view of what it means to have bilingual education, professional bilingual teachers, and how these teachers should teach bilingual students. This paper explores how political, social, and economic developments in one country influences by further developing or limiting bilingual education in all levels in Macedonia and how bilingualism in schools can be misused for the government to keep the minorities oppressed. This paper will overview the major political and educational events that took place in Macedonia that concern and seriously affected further development of bilingual education in the country.

Application of the KVI-R to Assess and Compare Training Needs for Private and Public State-Federal Rehabilitation Counselors
Authors: Beveridge Scott , Durant Sarah , Penrod John 
Published: June 2019

BackgroundThe KVI-R was developed by a team of researchers in collaboration with the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC) as a measurement instrument to assess training needs of rehabilitation counselors. The KVI-R includes 92 items measured on two dimensions: importance to the rehabilitation counseling field and degree of preparedness to work in that area.ObjectiveThe objective for this study was to assess and compare training needs reported by private sector and public sector rehabilitation counselors via the KVI-R.MethodsParticipant data for this study was compiled from two previous studies examining rehabilitation counselors working the public sector and a second study examining the private sector. A sample of 442 public sector rehabilitation counselors were recruited from the state-federal Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agencies within the federal Mid-Atlantic Region III (DC, DE, MD, PA, VA, WV). A sample of 423 private sector rehabilitation counselors across the United States were recruited through the George Washington University's Forensic Rehabilitation Counseling Certificate Program marketing email list for a total sample of N = 865 Participants responded to two pre- and post- survey questions along with the Knowledge Validation Inventory–Revised (KVI-R) instrument which is used to measure training needs of rehabilitation professionals.FindingsThere were no statistically significant differences shown between the two groups' overall training need or for any KVI-R domain specific need. Both groups indicated that time spent in training was unnecessarily emphasized in areas of group counseling practices and interventions, group counseling theories, and historical philosophical foundations of rehabilitation counseling. Comparing qualitative responses between rehabilitation counselors in the private and the public sector, there were several areas of differences in reported training needs. Those who worked in the public sector reported significantly higher perceived benefits from further training for persons with disabilities (p = .001). Additionally, demographic differences were found between overall years practicing, with private sector counselors having about twice the clinical experience on average compared to the public sector counselors. In addition, private sector counselors had significantly more professional credentials compared to public sector rehabilitation counselors.

The Cultural Competency Scale for Clinical Pediatric Nurse (Ccs-Cpn) in Indonesia: Scale Development and Psychometric Evaluation
Authors: Suza Dewi Elizadiani 
Published: June 2019

<p>ABSTRACT</p><p>Background: Nurses play an important role to apply practice in cultural competence in hospitals. To perform this role nurses need to provide information on the conceptual aspects of cultural competence by using instruments and assessing cultural competence in a clinical setting. Objectives of the study: 1) to develop the cultural competency for clinical pediatric nurse (CCS-CPN), and 2) to psychometric evaluate the validity and reliability of CCS-CPN. Methods: An inductive method was used to develop an instrument to measure nurse perceptions of CCS-CPN. The scale validation was conducted with a purposive sampling of 450 general hospital nurses recruited from twenty general hospitals in Indonesia. DeVellis’ eight-step plan was used to establish guidelines for development the CCS-CPN. The data was examined using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is a method to identify the internal dimensions of the CCS-CPN. Results: Using an EFA, 30-items with a six-factor structure were retained to form the CCS-CPN. These factors describe: culture awareness of pediatric nurse; culture knowledge of pediatric nurse; culture skill of pediatric nurse; culture encounter<em> </em>of pediatric nurse; culture desire of pediatric nurse; and culture sensitivity of pediatric nurse. The 30-item CCS-CPN yielded an overall Cronbach’s alpha-coefficients .85. The Cronbach’s alpha-coefficients for the CCS-CPN subscales were .81, .73, .81, .75, .78 and .87, respectively. Conclusion: The 30-item CCS-CPN version of Indonesia consists of six-factors were acceptable and significant. Unfortunelly, factor 4 obtained an item that does not represent the dimensions of the culture encounter of pediatric nurses. Therefore, further research is needed by using different method of Delphi method. </p><p> </p><p> </p>

Authors: Mukka Sebastian , Sjöholm Pontus , Chammout Ghazi , Kelly-Pettersson Paula , Sayed-Noor Arkan S. , Sköldenberg Olof 
Published: June 2019

Background:
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are the most reliable way of evaluating the effect of new treatments by comparing them with previously accepted treatment regimens. The results obtained from an RCT are extrapolated from the study environment to the general health care system. The ability to do so is called external validity. We sought to evaluate the external validity of an RCT comparing the results of total hip arthroplasty with those of hemiarthroplasty for the treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures in patients ≥80 years of age.

Methods:
This prospective, single-center cohort study included 183 patients ≥80 years of age who had a displaced femoral neck fracture. All patients were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria for an RCT comparing total hip arthroplasty and hemiarthroplasty. The population for this study consisted of patients who gave their informed consent and were randomized into the RCT (consenting group, 120 patients) as well as those who declined to give their consent to participate (non-consenting group, 63 patients). The outcome measurements were mortality, complications, and patient-reported outcome measures. Follow-up was carried out postoperatively with use of a mailed survey that included patient-reported outcome questionnaires.

Results:
We found a statistically significant and clinically relevant difference between the groups, with the non-consenting group having a higher risk of death compared with the consenting group. (hazard ratio, 4.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.9 to 11.1). No differences were found between the groups in terms of patient-reported outcome measures or surgical complications.

Conclusions:
This cohort study indicates a higher mortality rate but comparable hip function and quality of life among eligible non-consenters as compared with eligible consenters when evaluating the external validity of an RCT in patients ≥80 years of age with femoral neck fracture.

Abstract
Background

Consecutive homozygous fragments of the genome that inherited from a common ancestor to offspring are known as runs of homozygosity (ROH). The ROH stretches can be used to estimate the genomic inbreeding and also for identifying genomic regions under extensive selection pressure. The aims of this study were (i) to estimate inbreeding based on ROH (FROH); (ii) to compare FROH with FHOM (excess of homozygosity), FUNI (correlation between uniting gametes), and FGRM (genomic relationship matrix); and (iii) to identify frequently occurred ROH islands (i.e., shared by >20% of the population) for gene enrichment analyses. A dataset consisted of 396 buffalo including Azeri (N = 281) and Khuzestani (N = 115) breeds genotyped for ~65000 SNP were used.

Results

In total, 10,245 ROH were identified with an average number of 23.3±14.1 and 33.2±15.9 segments per animal for Azeri (AZ) and Khuzestani (KHZ) breeds, respectively. Our results showed that on average 4.71% (117.9±120.7 Mb) and 5.96% (149.15±107.7 Mb) of the genome of AZ and KHZ is autozygous, respectively. The amount of FHOM, FUNI and FGRM were 0.03, 0.03 and 0.03 in Azeri breed and 0.02, 0.02 and 0.02 in Khuzestani breed, respectively. Strong correlations between FROH-FHOM (0.93) and between FROH-FUNI (0.98 and 0.94) and moderate to strong correlations between FROH-FGRM (0.86 and 0.78) were obtained. Overall, we identified 13 frequently occurred ROH regions. The GO analyses revealed numerous enriched terms for the ROH gene list in KHZ breed. Genes associated with adaptation to hot and arid climate (BMP2), immune response (CYP27B1), milk production, protein, and fat percentage (MARS and ADRA1A, KCTD16), coat color and pigmentation (PMEL and MYO1A), reproductive traits (INHBE and INHBC, STAT6, PCNA), and bone development (SUOX) were identified.

Conclusion

Genes within common ROH spots present a modest phenotypic selection for milk production traits in Khuzestani buffalo. Further, our results suggest that natural selection may have a role in forming the genome of Iranian buffaloes in order to adapt them to the harsh environment of the country.

COMPARISON STUDY OF GEOMETRIC METHODS FOR SOLVING EQUATION SYSTEMS
Authors: Glivenko E. V. , Fomochkina A. S. 
Published: June 2019

The paper proposes a comparison of computational methods for solving nonlinear systems of equations on the example of the problem of calculating the spatial trajectory of a horizontal well. The difference of the proposed methods is the geometric approach to the formulation and solution of the problem. Brief algorithms and descriptions of computer programs of three geometric methods are presented: the «exit into (n + 1)‑dimensional space» method, the method using the fixed‑point properties and the unifying method. The application of each of these algorithms to the problem of calculating the spatial trajectory of a horizontal well resulted in obtaining identical solutions that coincide with the results of calculations using classical numerical methods. The disadvantages and limitations of each of the three geometric methods for solving systems of equations are noted.
POSIBILITY OF CREATING A PRINTED SINGLE-LAYER TRANSREFLECTOR WITH INCREASED PHASE EFFICIENCY
Authors: Mikhailov A. N. 
Published: June 2019

A new type of single‑layer transrefleсtor structure based on microstrip reflective antenna array is described. The developed device is a single‑layer printed circuit board on one side of which a system of printed reflectors is located, and on the other is a polarization structure consisting of parallel metal conductors, in contrast to a microstrip reflectarray antenna. The shape and geometrical dimensions of printed reflectors arranged in a rectangular or hexagonal (triangular) pattern are chosen in such a way that they transform a spherical front of an incident vertically polarized electromagnetic wave into a flat front of reflected wave. In the case of irradiation of the developed transreflector with a horizontal polarization wave, the printed structure makes minimal electromagnetic energy loss during its passage. The results of characteristics modeling (including phase curves) of an element of the reflective lattice in the W‑band for different angles of incidence of the wave on the planar structure under study are given. Based on the results obtained, the sizes of the reflective elements of the transreflector, which provide for the correction of the incident wave with the necessary phase discrete, are determined and an electrodynamic model of the transreflector antenna is built. The simulation of the main radiation characteristics of the antenna with the developed single‑layer transreflector was carried out.
