Boru hatlarında gaz
sevkiyatı başlamadan önce iç yüzeyin kurutulması gerekmektedir. Bu gereklilik
ürüne ve kullanıma bağlı olarak değişmekle birlikte, boru hatlarında iç
korozyon oluşmasını önlemek ve taşınacak üründe istenen nem özelliklerini
karşılamak olarak sıralanabilir. Kurutma sırasında boru içerisindeki sıvı ya da
buhar haldeki suyun ve yabancı maddelerin uzaklaştırılması amaçlanmaktadır. Bu
çalışmada doğalgaz boru hatlarının kurutulması için geliştirilen “Gaz soğutmalı
ve ısı geri kazanım eşanjörlü, ısıtıcısız adsorpsiyonlu kombine basınçlı hava
kurutucu” önerilmektedir. Mevcut sistemlerdeki eksiklikler dikkate alınarak ve
gerekli iyileştirmeler ile faydalı bir kombine basınçlı hava kurutucusu modeli
tasarlanmıştır. Bu model tasarlanırken,
hat kuruma süresini azaltan, enerji verimli ve uzun ömürlü olması hedefleri ön
planda olmuştur. Bu sistemde ısı geri kazanım ünitesi bulunduğu için enerji
ekonomisi sağlanacatır. Kurutmanın ilk aşamasında soğutma ile bir mıktar
kuruyan hava daha fazla nem tutma özellğine sahip olacaktır ve bu sayede
kurutma süresi kısalacaktır. Kurutma işlemi sadece doğalgaz için değil; etilen
ve propilen gibi petrokimyasallar, karbon dioksit, etan vb. ürünler için de
geçerlidir.

Objective: Obesity is a major health problem which has clinically significant role to develop kidney disease. This study was performed to see the association between Body Mass Index (BMI) and glomerular filtration rate ( GFR) in healthy adults.Patients and methods: This cross sectional study was carried out at Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences, Mitford, Dhaka, over a period of 12 months from January 2014 to December 2014. A total 34 adult healthy person (prospective kidney donor) who underwent 99mTc Di-ethylene triamine penta acetic acid (DTPA) renogram with camera Gated GFR was studied to find out the relationship between BMI and GRF as well as age and GFR. Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis were done to see the relationship Results: This study included 34 healthy adults. Among them 09 (26.5%) were female and 25 (73.5%) were male. Mean age was 46.82±11.68 years (range 27 to 65 years), mean BMI was 22.76±4.06 kg/m2 (range 15 to 33 kg/m2), mean weight was 53.76±9.6 kg (range 33 to 71 kg), mean height was 152±7.8 cm (range 140 cm to 175 cm), mean GFR was 82.38±22.26 ml/min (range 41.2 to 131.15 ml/min), mean serum creatinine level was 0.92±0.20 mg/dl (range 0.57 to 1.40 mg/dl). Pearson correlation coefficient test showed that inverse relationship (r= -0.340, P= 0.049) exist between age and GFR whereas a positive (r= 0.425, P= 0.012) relationship exist between BMI and GFR and also with weight (r= 0.354, P=0.040). Multiple regression analysis showed that BMI (β =0.376,P=0.029) and age ( β=-0.185,P=0.04) were independent predictors for GFR ( both P < 0.05) but not with serum creatinine ( β= -0.176,P=0.296) and sex (β= 0.135,P=0.399).Conclusion: The findings of the study showed that GFR had a positive correlation with BMI and inverse relationship with age.

Factors Affecting and Outcome of Radioactive Iodine Therapy in Hyperthyroidism: A study at Institute of Nuclear Medicine & Allied Sciences (INMAS), Sylhet
Authors: Nahar Kamrun , Akhter Papia 
Published: March 2018

Objective: Radioactive iodine therapy (RIT) is the most commonly used modality to treat hyperthyroidism and is indeed in most cases, the treatment of choice. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical outcome one year after radioactive Iodine-131 (RAI -131) therapy and to identify the factors associated with response of the therapy.Patients and Methods: A total 107 hyperthyroid patients were included in this study. All patients were pre-treated with anti-thyroid drugs (ATD). A fixed dose of 8 mCi of radioiodine was given to the patients with Graves’ disease, 12 mCi to patients with single toxic adenoma and 15 mCi to patients with toxic multi-nodular goiter . The patients were done serum FT4 initially and followed up with serum T3, T4, and TSH at three months , six months and one year of RAI therapy . The clinically and biochemically euthyroid and hypothyroid patients were considered as cure of the disease.Results : The cure rate was about 94.7% seen in female patients and 93.8% in male ( P=0.92), 93.6% in younger age group (below 40 years) and 95.0% of the older patients ( P=1.51), 95.5% of the patients who were taking ATD for more than one year and 92.7% of the patients who were taking ATD for less than one year before therapy( P=1.95), 95.4 % of the patients who had initial FT4 level less than 35 pmol/L and 92.7 % of the patients who had high initial FT4 ( P=1.54). Cure rate of Graves’ disease was 45/53 (92.5%), multi-nodular goiter 41/43 (95.3% ) and for single toxic adenoma was 11/11 (100% ) (P= 0.65). The incidence of radioiodine induced hypothyroidism was 6.5 % at three months, 13.1 % at six months and 15.0 % at one year. Overall incidence of cure rate of RAI therapy after one year was 101 (94.4 %).Conclusion: No statistically significant difference was found in the cure rate when sex, age, duration of pretreatment with antithyroid drug, initial FT4 level and cause of hyperthyroidism were considered. From this study it can be concluded that cure rate of RAI therapy is quite good and the pretreatment factors have little influence on the final outcome.Bangladesh J.

The purpose of this study was to assess the levels of folic acid, vitamin B12 and homocysteine in the serum of schizophrenia patients (n=20) and to evaluate the effect of olanzapine on these biomarkers. The blood was also collected from the 10 healthy volunteers as control. Compared to control, the serum folic acid (p=0.005) and vitamin B12 levels (p=0.211) were higher in the schizophrenia patients, whereas no difference was evident in the serum homocysteine level. But significantly higher levels of serum folic acid (p=0.005), vitamin B12 (p=0.047) and significantly lower level of serum homocysteine (p=0.000) were observed after 10 weeks of olanzapine administration. BPRS score was reduced significantly after intervention. The Pearson correlation coefficient test showed a statistically not significant negative relationship between the serum folate, vitamin B12 and homocysteine levels. In conclusion, olanzapine can significantly elevate the serum folic acid and vitamin B12 levels whereas it can lower the serum homocysteine level which may contribute to the improvement of symptoms of schizophrenia.

The aim of this study was to identify the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern and relevant treatment options in a neonatal intensive care unit from January 2012 and June 2016. Out of the total 78 culture positive samples, Gram positive and Gram negative microorganisms were 26% and 74% respectively. Acinetobacter remained the predominant isolate (32.1%) followed by Klebsiella species (18.0%). Most of the Gram positive isolates exhibited higher resistance to penicillin, cephalosporin, macrolides, gentamycin and quinolones. Gram positive isolates had sensitivity of 100% to linezolid, vancomycin, chloramphenicol followed by rifampicin (84%). In comparison to other commonly used antibiotics, sensitivity to these four medicines was statistically significant (p<0.05). Similarly, most of the Gram negative bacteria showed resistance to cephalosporin, aminoglycosides. About two-third cases showed resistant to meropenum, quinolones and combination preparation of piperacillin and tazobactam. Overall sensitivity among the Gram negative isolates was to polymixin B (100%) and minocycline (97%), followed by colistin (83%). In comparison to other commonly used antibiotics, sensitivity to these three medicines was statistically significant (p<0.05).

What Characterizes Excessive Online Stock Trading? A Qualitative Study.
Authors: Dixon Melanie Rose , Giroux Isabelle , Jacques Christian , Grégoire Philippe 
Published: March 2018

Excessive online stock trading appears to share similarities with gambling disorder. However, using gambling disorder criteria to assess excessive trading may not allow a full understanding of this phenomenon as specific aspects of the trading context that differ from gambling may be overlooked. This study explores the manifestations and consequences of excessive trading and its links with gambling disorder via the perceptions of online stock traders themselves. Data for thematic analysis were collected from a sample of online stock traders (N = 13) divided into two focus groups based on trading frequency (i.e., on a regular or occasional basis). Perceived manifestations of excessive trading included excessive preoccupation and frequent behaviors, and consequences that affect finances, relationships, work and health. Perceived links between gambling disorder and excessive trading concerned a shared incapacity to control behaviors, and chasing losses. Though excessive trading and gambling disorder are similar on many grounds, the assessment of trading behaviors should consider specific aspects such as the context within which they occur (e.g., state of the market). Implications for future research on excessive trading behaviors are discussed. RésuméLes transactions d’actions excessives peuvent présenter des similitudes avec le jeu pathologique. Cependant, appliquer des critères propres au jeu pathologique à des pratiques de transactions excessives en ligne ne permet pas nécessairement de bien comprendre ce phénomène, car il pourrait arriver qu’on néglige certains aspects particuliers du contexte transactionnel qui diffèrent du contexte du jeu. Cette étude explore les manifestations et les conséquences de pratiques transactionnelles excessives et ses liens avec le jeu pathologique, en se penchant sur les perceptions personnelles des négociateurs. Les données ont été recueillies pour une analyse thématique à partir d’un échantillon de négociateurs en ligne (N = 13), divisé en deux groupes de discussion en fonction de la fréquence des transactions (soit sur une base régulière ou occasionnelle). Parmi les manifestations perçues à propos de transactions excessives, on a pu voir des préoccupations excessives et de fréquents comportements et leurs conséquences sur les finances, les relations, le travail et la santé. Les liens communs perçus entre les troubles du jeu et la négociation excessive étaient l’incapacité à contrôler ses comportements et la récupération des pertes. Bien que la négociation excessive et les problèmes du jeu soient semblables sous divers aspects, l’évaluation de comportements de négociateurs devrait prendre en compte des aspects particuliers tels que le contexte dans lequel ces comportements se manifestent (par exemple, l’état du marché). Dans l’étude, on aborde aussi la portée de futures recherches sur les comportements de négociation excessive.

Protective behavioural strategies (PBS) for drinking are behaviours that individuals engage in to reduce the amount they drink and drinking-related consequences. To date, little is known about associations that PBS might have with other risky behaviours that frequently coincide with drinking, such as gambling. The goal of this study was to examine the associations between three subscales of the Protective Behavioral Strategies Scale (PBSS) and gambling consequences in a college sample of gamblers who also met criteria for alcohol or drug abuse. We hypothesized that engaging in more drinking PBS would be associated with lower levels of gambling consequences. A sample of 316 students (55% female) completed an online survey and met criteria for problematic gambling behaviour (3 or more on the South Oaks Gambling Screen and 1 or more consequences on the Gambling Problem Index). Those endorsing a higher score on the Serious Harm Reduction subscale (but not the Stopping or Limiting Drinking or Manner of Drinking subscales) showed a lower level of lifetime gambling consequences, suggesting a crossover effect. Strategies to reduce serious harm represent a treatment target that could potentially reduce negative consequences associated with both drinking and gambling.Résumé Les personnes aux prises avec des problèmes d’abus d’alcool adoptent des stratégies comportementales de protection pour réduire leur consommation et ses conséquences. À ce jour, on sait peu de choses sur les possibles associations entre ces comportements et d’autres comportements à risque qui coïncident souvent avec l’abus d’alcool, comme le jeu. L’objectif de cette étude était d’examiner les associations entre trois sous-échelles de stratégies comportementales et les conséquences du jeu à l’aide d’un échantillon de joueurs universitaires qui répondaient également aux critères de consommation abusive d’alcool/de drogue. On a émis l’hypothèse que le fait d’adopter des stratégies comportementales à l’égard de la consommation d’alcool diminuerait l’importance des conséquences relatives au jeu. Un échantillon de 316 étudiants sondés en ligne (55 % de femmes) a répondu aux critères de comportement de jeu problématique (3 critères ou plus sur le South Oaks Gambling Screen [SOGC] et une ou plusieurs conséquences sur l’Indice de jeu excessif [PGSI]). Les personnes qui entrent dans des sous-échelles de réduction importante des méfaits (mais pas les sous-échelles d’arrêt ou de limitation de consommation ou de mode de consommation) ont montré, au fil du temps, une diminution des effets du jeu, ce qui laisse croire à un certain effet de croisement. On aborde dans cet article la portée de cette analyse sur la prévention et l’intervention.
God kvalitet i livestreamet undervisning – fra underviserens point of view
Authors: Jelsbak Vibe , Buus Lillian , Thorsen Jonas 
Published: March 2018

Bioanalytikeruddannelsen, VIA University College i Aarhus, har etableret et undervisningskoncept, som kombinerer traditionel og livestreamet undervisning. Teknologiske udfordringer og begrænsninger i dialog er blandt de vigtigste udfordringer, eftersom undervisere anvender dialog og diskussion i traditionel undervisning. I artiklen præsenteres uddannelsens fornyede rammer og tekniske løsninger for livestreamingen og de didaktiske design, som disse forventes at understøtte, diskuteres. Resultaterne indikerer, at undervisningen ikke redidaktiseres i livestreamet undervisning, men er påvirket af undervisernes ønske om mulighed for dialog gennem anvendelse af kendte undervisningsformer og et lavt niveau af teknisk kompleksitet. Resultaterne viser desuden, at underviserne er afhængig af visuel kontakt med studerende for at etablere god undervisning baseret på dialog.
Public Sector’s Innovativeness: Theoretical and Methodological Perplexities
Authors: Joksimovic Ljubinka , Manic Slavica , Jovic Danica 
Published: March 2018

Research question: This article considers the problems of measuring public sector innovation by asking the question whether and why interpretation of the achievements regarding the public sector innovativeness might be questionable. Motivation: The most recent literature on public sector innovation reveals two perspectives. One of them is assertion that the public sector suffers an innovation deficit, while the other claims that it is actually more innovative than a common credit. Insights in the results from recent large studies of measuring public sector innovation have shown very high rates of innovations, higher than in private sector (between 50 % and 80 % of respondents have recorded at least one type innovation during the period of two years). The lack of a uniquely, or at least dominant, attitude regarding the above-mentioned standpoints represents the basic inspiration for the actualization of this problem. Idea: The aim of the paper is twofold: 1) to offer an overview of three established theoretical attempts (assimilation, demarcation and integrative) dealing with public sector innovation, in order to present the evolution of the issue; 2) to prove that the inclination to more general over contextually specific understanding of innovation (and vice versa) has an impact both on its operationalization and on the interpretation of the achievements. Findings: In spite of the fact that theoretical considerations show noticeable detachment from assimilation perspective, empirical studies still copy this approach and the associated methodology. Surveys introduced subjectivity through arbitrary interpretation of the innovation concept, choice of research techniques and respondents and using of non-measurable goals as indicators of innovation outputs. Since this has affected and overrated their outcomes, we have found that empirical studies have not provided reliable depiction of the state of affairs regarding the PSI. Contribution: Having presented theoretical and methodological arguments why relying on the assimilation approach is neither the only nor even the most adequate way to answer the question whether the public sector is more innovative than the private one, we point to the necessity of using the other two approaches, particularly integrative one in order to find a coherent method of PSI measurement.
Interannual Modulation of Northern Hemisphere Winter Storm Tracks by the QBO
Authors: Wang Jiabao , Kim Hye‐Mi , Chang Edmund K. M. 
Published: March 2018

AbstractStorm tracks, defined as the preferred regions of extratropical synoptic‐scale disturbances, have remarkable impacts on global weather and climate systems. Causes of interannual storm track variation have been investigated mostly from a troposphere perspective. As shown in this study, Northern Hemisphere winter storm tracks are significantly modulated by the tropical stratosphere through the quasi‐biennial oscillation (QBO). The North Pacific storm track shifts poleward during the easterly QBO winters associated with a dipole change in the eddy refraction and baroclinicity. The North Atlantic storm track varies vertically with a downward shrinking (upward expansion) in easterly (westerly) QBO winters associated with the change of the tropopause height. These results not only fill the knowledge gap of QBO‐storm track relationship but also suggest a potential route to improve the seasonal prediction of extratropical storm activities owing to the high predictability of the QBO.
