Authors: KORKMAZ KIRAKLI Esra , ERDEM Sevilay , BOZKURT Mediha Tülin , YILMAZ Hasan 
Published: October 2018

Aim: Thymomas are rare neoplasms. Complete surgical
resection is the cornerstone of the treatment. The role of adjuvant
radiotherapy (RT) in Masaoka stage II disease is controversial, but in more
advanced stages and the role of radical RT in inoperable cases are clear. This
study is conducted to evaluate local control, relapse free survival and overall
survival rates in Masaoka stage II and III thymoma patients after adjuvant or
radical RT.Materials and Methods: The medical records of thymoma
patients who were treated and completed their RT course between January 2010
and August 2016 in a single center were evaluated retrospectively.Results: Twenty-two patients were available for analysis. Treatment
planning was adjuvant in 18 patients and radical in 5 patients. Median age at
diagnosis was 59 (50-62). Type of resection was R0 in all cases. The adjuvant
RT dose was 50 Gy; radical RT dose was 60-66 Gy. The most common acute toxicity
was grade 1 pneumonitis which was reported in 9 patients (39%). Grade 2 acute
pneumonitis was experienced by 3 patients (13%), grade 2 acute esophagitis was
experienced by 2 patients (9%). One patient had late grade 3 esophageal
toxicity. Follow-up time ranged from 6 to 99 months, median 18 months, local
control rate was 100%, relapse free survival (RFS) was 96%, cancer specific
survival was 96%, 2 years overall survival (OS) was 83%.

Conclusion: Although our results seem to be in
concordance with the literature, longer follow-up is needed to be able to make
a conclusion in terms of LC, RFS and OS, since thymoma has an indolent course
with low relapse rate and long RFS.

Published: October 2018

A poesia nasce com o ser humano. Ou melhor, nasce quando ele começa a falar. Ela é o nosso ancestral em termos de linguagem, é intrínseca ao ser humano. Quanto mais precocemente as crianças interagem com essa forma de linguagem, maior é o grau de familiaridade e maiores são as possibilidades de constituir uma relação fecunda e prazerosa entre ambas. O presente texto objetiva, de modo geral, refletir sobre a relação infância e poesia; e, especificamente, destacar a ludicidade, a imaginação e a (co)autoria como aspectos que se sobressaem nessa relação. É parte de uma pesquisa realizada no âmbito do doutorado em Educação da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), cujo ponto de partida é a escuta sensível na pesquisa com crianças. A empiria ocorreu entre outubro de 2013 e junho de 2014, em uma escola da rede pública estadual de Criciúma- SC, Brasil, e contou com a participação de vinte crianças, oito meninos e doze meninas, com idade entre oito e doze anos. A metodologia utilizada é denominada espaços de narrativa (LEITE, 2008), procedimento caracterizado pela realização de encontros sistematizados entre observador e sujeitos, empregando estratégias de natureza etnográfica e o uso de diferentes instrumentos para captura de dados, especialmente a gravação em vídeo. A problematização e a compreensão da temática possibilita vislumbrar ações que podem promover o encontro poesia e criança e potencializar a presença do texto poético na escola, especialmente nos anos iniciais da Educação Básica.

The paper presents methodology for determining rational modes of abrasive processing for high-precision lenses while using a method of free lapping at finishing operations. Analytical expressions have been obtained to determine coordinates of reference points on a spherical surface which are necessary for mathematical modeling of its processing at pivotal machines. The paper contains results of a theoretical qualitative evaluation of high-precision operating lens surfaces formation in case of various combinations of setting parameters for technological equipment. In this case the most rational and unfavorable modes of processing have been identified. In particular, the last case presupposes shaping by changing rotational frequencies of an input link in an executive mechanism of the machine tool w2and the lens wл. An indicative feature is that a poor quality of processing has been obtained over the entire range of variation interval w2 at maximum value wл, and especially in the case when these frequencies are equal. It has been determined that the highest accuracy of processing is achieved with maximum amplitude of an oscillating tool motion, its diameter and frequency of part rotation and minimum rotational speed of the input link in the executive machine-tool mechanism. As such values of these setting parameters lead to an increased removal of an allowance in the marginal zone of a work-piece, then while processing a convex lens surface, its radius of curvature in each previous operation should be larger than a radius of curvature which is to be obtained in the process of subsequent operations. The inverse regularity of curvature radius values must be observed for a concave surface. The most advantageous values of the machine-tool setting parameters with various combinations have been proposed with the purpose to eliminate errors in the form of common as “knoll” and “hole” with due account of processing productivity and accuracy. The paper describes an influence of machine tool spindle wavering value on the processing accuracy of lenses having a wide range of diameters.

Published: October 2018

The paper deals with a workflow of a proportional pressure modulator equipped with a linear electric motor of electromagnetic type (LEMET). A schematic diagram consisting of a power supply and control system has been constructed to determine the performance of LEMET. The power supply system is a self-contained half-bridge inverter. The converter input is supplied with 12 V DC voltage. The motor phase is powered by an inverter which includes transistor switches and diodes. The control system of the autonomous inverter consists of two channels – a current limiting channel and a linear transfer channel. The study is based on the results of numerical and simulation modeling of LEMET workflows. Numerical simulation is performed and investigated by a finite element method in the FEMM environment. Geometry of the LEMET model lies in the region of air with an electromagnetic permeability of 1. An initial radius of the grid generation for the working gap area is 0.5 mm, while for other areas an adaptive generation method has been applied. In order to determine a continuous power function at any point within a current variation interval i and a displacement x current linkage and electromagnetic force functions have been approximated by polynomials use of the Curve Fitting application. The simulation LEMET model of a proportional modulator has been built in the MatLab Simulink environment. The implicit Runge-Kutta method using the secondorder inverse differentiation formulas with a variable step has been applied for solution of a mathematical model in the MatLab Simulink system. The equation of an electrical circuit for an inductor motor phase has been compiled according to the second law of Kirchhoff. The LEMET traction characteristics have been obtained by moving a locking and adjusting element (LCE) from 0 to 6 mm in steps of 1 mm while changing the MMF in the winding from 0 to 2 A in steps of 0.1 A. It has been established that in order to move the LCE by 6 mm with the speed of 40 mm/s with a resolution of 0.15 mm, the maximum value of the current in the LEMET winding is equal to 2.5 A. In this case the value of the electromagnetic force is 120 N. This makes it possible to improve an accuracy of the brake drive pressure regulation by 12.3 %. Solutions have been proposed to increase the LEMET speedwork. Characteristics of the engine have been described and numerical parameters of LEMET have been determined in the paper. The developed simulation model allows to investigate functional properties and dynamic characteristics of the proportional modulator with a relative error of 4.07 %.

Low frequency acoustic energy harvesting adopting slit Helmholtz resonator
Authors: Yuan Ming , Wang Xiaohui , Ding Zhenjun 
Published: October 2018

In this study, a novel acoustic energy harvesting (AEH) device is proposed to realize low frequency acoustic energy harvesting in broadband. Based on the classical Helmholtz resonator, a novel AEH device with slits is proposed. The AEH components and mechanisms are analyzed, followed by an experimental evaluation of the fabricated sample. Experimental results show that for the proposed AEH device, the bandwidth near the acoustic resonant frequency is extended, which can be attributed to the thermos-viscous damping mechanism. This type of attribute is favorable for resonance tuning and increasing the adaptability of the AEH device. Under 100 dB sound pressure level (SPL) excitation, the measured harvested electrical power is 2.4 µW.

Authors: Sharma Nidhi , Kumar Rahul , Sharma Ramesh C. 
Published: October 2018

AbstractWater quality of the sacred River Bhagirathi was evaluated by microbiological and physico-chemical characteristics of water. Monthly water samples were collected from the upper zone (1,158–4,100 m a.s.l.) to lower zone (457–1,158 m a.s.l.) of the river for a period of two years during October, 2013 to September, 2015. The data on microbial density revealed that CFU count was minimum (13,185 CFU. ml−1) in the winter season and maximum (36,410 CFU.ml−1) in the monsoon season, when the degradation of water quality was maximum due to mixing of a large amount of allochthonous materials from the catchment area. No total coliform (TC) and fecal coliform (FC) was found in the water samples from Gaumukh (4,100 m) to Gangotri (3,140 m) during the two-year sampling period due to minimum anthropogenic pressure. However, total coliform and fecal coliform were recorded downstream of Gangotri (TC: 980 and FC: 120) and Harshil (TC: 1,100 and FC: 200). Microbial density was recorded to be high in the lower stretch: Uttarkashi (TC: 2,850 and FC: 860) Tehri (TC: 5,000 and FC: 4,200), and Deoprayag (TC: 3,800 and FC: 2,700). A total of 14 bacterial, four actinomycetes, and 11 fungal species were found in the Bhagirathi River.
Alzheimer's Disease Classification Based on Multi-feature Fusion
Authors: Madusanka Nuwan , Choi Heung-Kook , So Jae-Hong , Choi Boo-Kyeong 
Published: October 2018

Background:
In this study, we investigated the fusion of texture and morphometric features
as a possible diagnostic biomarker for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD).

Methods:
In particular, we classified subjects with Alzheimer’s disease, Mild Cognitive Impairment
(MCI) and Normal Control (NC) based on texture and morphometric features. Currently, neuropsychiatric
categorization provides the ground truth for AD and MCI diagnosis. This can then be
supported by biological data such as the results of imaging studies. Cerebral atrophy has been
shown to correlate strongly with cognitive symptoms. Hence, Magnetic Resonance (MR) images of
the brain are important resources for AD diagnosis. In the proposed method, we used three different
types of features identified from structural MR images: Gabor, hippocampus morphometric,
and Two Dimensional (2D) and Three Dimensional (3D) Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix
(GLCM). The experimental results, obtained using a 5-fold cross-validated Support Vector Machine
(SVM) with 2DGLCM and 3DGLCM multi-feature fusion approaches, indicate that we
achieved 81.05% ±1.34, 86.61% ±1.25 correct classification rate with 95% Confidence Interval
(CI) falls between (80.75-81.35) and (86.33-86.89) respectively, 83.33%±2.15, 84.21%±1.42 sensitivity
and 80.95%±1.52, 85.00%±1.24 specificity in our classification of AD against NC subjects,
thus outperforming recent works found in the literature. For the classification of MCI against AD,
the SVM achieved a 76.31% ± 2.18, 78.95% ±2.26 correct classification rate, 75.00% ±1.34,
76.19%±1.84 sensitivity and 77.78% ±1.14, 82.35% ±1.34 specificity.

Results and Conclusion:
The results of the third experiment, with MCI against NC, also showed
that the multiclass SVM provided highly accurate classification results. These findings suggest that
this approach is efficient and may be a promising strategy for obtaining better AD, MCI and NC
classification performance.

Authors: Hartati Dwi Surya , Herlina Nely 
Published: October 2018

The work of songs and music is one of several types of artistic works that is protected by the Act of Copyright. Copyright is regulated through Act No. 28 of 2014 About Copyright (Undang-Undang Hak Cipta or UUHC). Creators and Copyright holders have an exclusive right in the form of economic rights and moral rights. Economic rights can be acquired through the payment of royalty. According to the Act of Copyright, the National Collective Management Institution (Lembaga Manajemen Kolektif Nasional or LMKN) is the institution appointed to collect royalties from creators and/or holders of related rights. LMKN is a non-profit legal entity which has been given an authority by Copyright holders and/or holders of related rights to manage the economic rights in legally collecting and distributing royalties. In order to acquire their share in the royalty, each of the creators, Copyright holders, or the holders of related rights has to become a member of LMKN, and in return said LMKN got the authority to collect royalties from users of said artistic works. Royalty is a form of payment or rewards given to creators and/or Copyrights holders over the utilization of economic rights or related rights of a creation or a product. In Indonesia, there are a lot of LMKNs, in which the function is to collect royalties, including collecting exclusive rights of the holders of related rights.
The resulting performance of Collective Management Institutions (Lembaga Manajemen Kolektif or LMK) has not reached its optimum capability for both creators and holders of related rights. The resulting advice of this paper is for the government to create a strict payment system and a method which can also be accessed digitally by the creators.
