Authors: Abalos-Fabia Russel Salvador , Khadrawi Shadia Mohamed , Ellasus Rosanta Oligan 
Published: March 2019

Background: The healthcare workforce of Saudi Arabia is characterized by diverse cultural backgrounds as a consequence of employment of expatriate workers from various countries. The heterogeneity of both providers of health services and clients resulted to cultural barriers that affected the delivery care. It is paramount to evaluate the cultural competence of the healthcare providers (HCPs) to maintain quality holistic care. Objective: The primary objective of this study was to assess the cultural diversity experience, cultural competence behavior (CCB) and cultural awareness and sensitivity (CAS) of HCPs in a hospital setting of Saudi Arabia. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving survey of HCPs from medical, nursing and laboratory technology disciplines using the Cultural Competence Assessment (CCA) tool. Results: There were a total of 104 HCPs who completed the survey. The characteristics of the respondents resulted to a mean age of 38.7 ±10.4 who were predominantly Asians and nurses. The majority had working experience of 10 years and below, with more than half who had prior diversity trainings. Reported cultural diversity experience included all HCPs caring for Arab Middle Easterners and Asians and encountering at least one or more special population groups. There was an overall high cultural competence (5.28 ±0.46), high CCB (5.84 ±0.56) but only moderately high CAS (4.72 ±0.35). Significant differences were only identified between CCB scores and three demographic variables (racial/ethnic identification, area of discipline and years of experience). No significant result was found between CAS scores and demographic variables as well as between CCB and CAS scores. Conclusions: In spite of high CCB, the HCPs responded with lower CAS scores. Interventions should be initiated to increase CAS such as cultural diversity training and availability of cultural care resources.

Pemanfaatan Evaporative Cooling untuk Meningkatkan Kenyamanan Ruang
Authors: Yunianto Bambang 
Published: March 2019

Sistem pendingin Air Cooler atau evaporative cooling (EC) mempunyai keunggulan hemat energy dan kontruksi sederhana. Namun kelemahannya adalah terjadi peningkatan kelembaban udara, sehingga hanya cocok digunakan pada daerah yang kelembaban rendah dan temperatur tinggi. Untuk wilayah Indonesia yang terdiri dua musin , hujan dan kemarau, penggunaan unit pendingin ini hanya cocok pada bulan kemarau, karena temperatur tinggi (hingga 34 C) dan kelembaban cukup rendah (RH 50 %). Mengingat kelemahan Air Cooler yaitu menghasilkan kelembaban tinggi, maka dalam pengoperasiannya tidak dianjurkan dalam ruang tertutup , karena berangsur-angsur akan meningkatkan kelembaban, sehinga perlu diberikan sirkulasi udara baru. Pada pengujian ini digunakan Air Cooler jenis semburan langsung yang dipasang pada ruang ukuran 3 x 3 x 3 m , sedang sirkulasi udara baru diberikan dengan melakukan bukaan jendela ruang, yaitu dengan membuka jendela setinggi 0 cm, 5 cm, dan 15 cm. Masing-masing data selama pengujian, yaitu temperatur dan kelembaban udara ruang, diambil selama 2 jam. Dari hasil pengujian diperoleh pada bukaan terkecil (jendela tertutup) terjadi penurunan temperature hingga 5 C (dari 31 C hingga 26 C) namun terjadi peningkatan kelembaban yang tinggi hingga RH 89 %. Sedang pada bukaan jendela 5 cm terjadi penurunan 4 C (dari 32 C hingga 28 C) dengan RH 75 % dan bukaan 15 cm terjadi sedikit penurunan temperatur 3,7 C (dari 32 hingga28,3 C) dengan RH 72 %.

Published: March 2019

Konstruksi silo dirancang untuk menyimpan butiran. Idealnya sumbu vertikal silo maupun dindingnya tegak lurus terhadap bidang dasarnya sehingga beban dinding hanya berupa gaya radial akibat ketinggian kolomnya. Miringnya konstruksi silo menyebabkan terjadinya beban gabungan pada dinding pada arah kemiringannya. Paper ini membahas pengaruh kemiringan konstruksi silo pada gaya yang bekerja pada dinding. Silo yang diobservasi dengan kapasitas penyimpanan sebesar 4650 ton, dengan diameter 19 m dengan ketinggian 20 m. Dari hasil pemodelan FEM, distribusi tegangan pada dinding yang berbeda ketebalannya relatif lebih besar dibandingkan tegangan yang terjadi pada dinding ganda pada bagian dibawahnya. Tegangan maksimum terjadi pada daerah sambungan baut antara dinding dan stiffener. Pada kemiringan 10o tegangan maksimum dinding mencapai sekitar 45 kg/mm2 baik pada dinding ganda maupun di lokasi dinding yang berbeda ketebalannya.

Published: March 2019

Saat ini akrilik banyak digunakan sebagai bahan dinding dan atap dan untuk keperluan sensor suhu dan tekanan maka serat optik ditanam dalam bahan bangunan tersebut. Simulasi dilakukan dengan menggunakan Metode Elemen Hingga (MEH) dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak komersial ABAQUS. Kontak antara serat optic dan akrilik dimodelkan dengan keadaan tanpa gesekan (frictionless) dan dengan adanya gesekan dengan koefisien gesek tertentu. Kofisien gesek divariasikan sebesar 0,3, 0,5 dan 0,8. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan bahwa tegangan von Misses terbesar adalah sebesar 39,49 MPa untuk koefisien gesek 0,8 dan tegangan von Misses terendah adalah sebesar 37,33 MPa untuk keadaan tanpa gesekan. Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa semakin tinggi koefisien gesek tegangan von Misses pada akrilik akan semakin rendah dan tegangan von Misses pada serat optic akan semakin tinggi.

Published: March 2019

AbstractThis paper focuses on how advanced learners of English at a woman’s college in Saudi Arabia use Snapchat to communicate with their classmates. It examines not just the way the English language becomes a meaning making resource in these exchanges, but also how English is strategically mixed with photos, drawings, emoji’s, and other languages to create meanings, identities, and relationships. The theoretical framework used to understand these strategies is adopted from ‘geosemiotics’, an approach to discourse that focuses on how meanings (as well as identities and relationships) are created through the ways semiotic resources are arranged in physical space. The analysis highlights how Snapchat creates opportunities for female learners of English in Saudi Arabia to open up new ‘cultural spaces’, and how these spaces can facilitate their language learning. At the same time, it is argued, these new ‘cultural spaces’ are contingent on the various creative ways these learners make use ofphysical space. Implications for understanding the relationship between creativity and translanguaging are discussed.

Zusammenfassung
Der Beitrag plädiert für einen weiten Kulturbegriff. Die Bildungsexpansion der vergangenen Jahrzehnte hat zu einem neuen Klassenantagonismus geführt, indem es um gesellschaftliche Teilhabe durch kulturelle Teilhabe geht. Angesichts einer Kulturalisierung von Politik muss Kulturpolitik ihre gesellschaftspolitische Dimension wahrnehmen und neue bildungs- und weiterbildungspolitische Allianzen suchen.
Insulin Promotes Wound Healing by Inactivating NFkβP50/P65 and Activating Protein and Lipid Biosynthesis and alternating Pro/Anti-inflammatory Cytokines Dynamics
Authors: Kaur Pawandeep , Choudhury Diptiman 
Published: March 2019

AbstractFour hundred and twenty-two million people have diabetes due to excess free body glucose in their body fluids. Diabetes leads to various problems including retinopathy, neuropathy, arthritis, damage blood vessels etc; it also causes a delay in wound healing. Insufficiency of insulin is the main reason for diabetes-I and systemic insulin treatment is a remedy. The perspective of the potential use of insulin/insulin based drugs to treat chronic wounds in diabetic conditions is focused on in this review. At the site of the wound, TNF-ɑ, IFN-ϒ, IL-1β and IL-6 pro-inflammatory cytokines cause the generation of free radicals, leading to inflammation which becomes persistent in diabetes. Insulin induces expression of IL-4/IL-13, IL-10 anti-inflammatory cytokines etc which further down-regulates NFkβP50/P65 assembly. Insulin shifts the equilibrium towards NFkβP50/P50 which leads to down-regulation of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-10 etc through STAT6, STAT3 and c-Maf activation causing nullification of an inflammatory condition. Insulin also promotes protein and lipid biosynthesis which indeed promotes wound recovery. Here, in this article, the contributions of insulin in controlling wound tissue microenvironments and remodulation of tissue have been summarised, which may be helpful to develop novel insulin-based formulation(s) for effective treatment of wounds in diabetic conditions.
Modelling and Simulation of Multiphase Flow Applicable to Processes in Oil and Gas Industry
Authors: Mouketou Florice Nzikou , Kolesnikov Andrei 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Solid particle erosion is a mechanical process of destroying a wall surface material due to the impacts of solid particles entrained with a fluid. It is a frequent phenomenon encountered within various industries such as chemical processes, oil and gas, and hydraulic transportation. Erosion problem has led to enormous consequences such as oil spills caused by equipment failure of oil transmission pipelines, chokes valves, pipe fittings etc; resulting in considerable economic loss as well as safety and environmental concerns. In this study, a 3-D simulations are performed using CFD code ANSYS FLUENT to predict sand erosion rates under different engine-oil viscosity conditions for multiphase liquid, in a 90-degree standard (R/D = 1.5) elbow pipe. The CFD utilizes Eulerian-Lagrangian method to model the multiphase flow oil-water-sand in elbow. The realizable k-ε model is adopted for the fluid turbulence effects. The velocity and pressure distributions are analysed as contours for the fluid flow. In order to understand the dynamics of the erosion process, the motion of the solid particles are also investigated based on Stokes number as well as the effect of secondary flows. The results indicated that erosion rates decrease with the increase in oil viscosity. Additionally, erosion mainly occurs in two locations; at the extrados near the bend exit and also on the side walls of the downstream straight pipe. The unusual distribution of erosion on the side walls occurred as a result of the effect of secondary flows due to centrifugal force. The numerical results are in qualitative good agreement with the experimental data available in the literature for elbows in order to validate the presented modelling approach.

City of Nostalgia: The Semiotics of Urban Retrotopias
Authors: Leone Massimo 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
The Casa da Nostalgia, or “Nostalgic house,” in the Taipa area of the special administrative region of Macau, is a museum devoted to temporary exhibitions reconstructing everyday life in the city, especially in the epoch of Portuguese ruling. Just opposite the museum, on the other side of a large pond, a giant casino, the Venetian Macau, reproduces Venice both with its external architecture and its interior design. The article analyzes these two urban settings in order to develop a semiotic understanding of as many ways of symbolically reconstructing cities. On the one hand, cities can be reconstructed in a nostalgic form; the essay inquires on the origin and the consequences of urban nostalgia; on the other hand, cities can be reconstructed as ersatz. The article further investigates the dialectics between predominantly temporal or prevailingly spatial urban reconstructions, with reference to the socio-cultural dynamics that have changed Macau in the last decades. The article concludes with the methodological suggestion that the study of urban re-constructions requires the combined efforts of several disciplines, jointly investigating why, how, but also to what effect cities are re-built.
From tendencies to purposes
Authors: Fernández Eliseo , Campbell Cary 
Published: March 2019

AbstractIn this article, Fernández examines a remarkable convergence of ideas in Peirce’s mature thought: the Aristotelian notion of causal powers or capacities and its possible combination with some ideas about finality that Kant advanced to make sense of the notion of purpose in the behavior of organisms. He argues that this proposed synthesis deserves to gain relevance in light of new investigations aimed at clarifying issues concerning causality and explanation in science, especially in biology. After reviewing new developments and interpretations concerning the notions of mechanism, teleology, and purpose, especially in regard to their origins in the Kantian tradition, Fernández concludes this trailblazing study by hypothesizing that the characteristic “finality” of biological teleology (manifest in the very idea of purpose) results from the interaction of two basic types of causation:efficient causationandsemiotic causation. This a standpoint that incorporates ideas from Peircean semiotics to characterize and justify biological teleology.

Abstract
Lithologic identification is critical for studying fine - grained sediments, which further elucidates sedimentary environment, and formation. The oil - bearing Chang 7 Section of the Yanchang Formation in Ordos Basin contains thick dark mudstone with a wide distribution, interbedded by siltstone and fine sandstone. The lacustrine fine - grained sedimentary rocks constitute the chief source rock of the Yanchang Formation. On the grounds of fine core description, thin rock slice identification and X - ray diffraction analysis, we proposed a new method based on conventional logging data. This method is using density (DEN) and natural gamma (GR) logging curve intersection and multivariate linear regression analysis of logging curve value and measured mineral content value which is carried out by SPSS software to identify the lithology and the vertical distribution characteristics of fine - grained sedimentary rock of Chang 7 formation in the study area. This method is mainly suitable for lithologic identification of fine - grained sedimentary rocks in lake basin. It not only quantitatively analyses the contents of main minerals and organic matter in fine - grained sedimentary rocks, but also greatly improved the accuracy and universality of using conventional logging data to identify the lithology of fine - grained sedimentary rocks, which provides a reference for the exploration of tight oil.
Modified Gompertz sigmoidal model removing fine-ending of grain-size distribution
Authors: Yuan Rui , Yang Bo , Liu Yingfei , Huang Lingyu 
Published: March 2019

AbstractBecause of the laboratory operating, the fineending of grain-size distribution (GSD) are simply combined as one point, which results in the information loss of the fine and very-fine clastic particles, and affects the geological parameters calculation of GSD. To remove the fine-endings, a modified Gompertz sigmoidal model is proposed in this paper. The first stage is establishing and solving the modified Gompertz sigmoidal model; the second stage is fitting and evaluating the cumulative probability and frequency of GSD; the third stage is calculating the geological parameters. Taking 113 samples for example, coefficients of determination (COD) between measured and fitted individual cumulative probability and frequency are bigger than 0.98980 and 0.97000 respectively, which proves the goodness of fitting results. By moments method using frequency data, theCODbetween fitted and measured mean is 0.97578, whileCODsof sorting, skewness and kurtosis are in low values, which suggest that the fine-endings has little influence on the average grain-sizes of GSD and large influence on its geometry. Besides, modified Gompertz sigmoidal model offers another quick numerical way to calculate median, mean and sorting of GSD by graphical method using cumulative probability data. The proposed method is useful to remove the fine-endings and contribute to calculate the geological parameters of GDS.
Between cant and Kant: Christie Davies and the (im?)possibility of seriousness in humor studies
Authors: Palmieri Giacinto 
Published: March 2019

AbstractThis paper discusses Christie Davies’ recommendation for seriousness in the investigation of jokes and contrasts it with several instances of humorous discourse in his own writings. After arguing that a taste for both the production and the appreciation of humor played an important role in Davies’ research, and that humor can be used productively in humor research, the article raises the question of whether the need for a separation between humor as a subject of study and as a style of discourse about it has not been overstated in humor studies.

AGCS Technique to Improve the Performance of Neural Networks
Authors: Katha Kishor Kumar , Pabboju Suresh 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
In this paper, a fresh method is offered regarding training of particular neural networks. This technique is a combination of the adaptive genetic (AG) and cuckoo search (CS) algorithms, called the AGCS method. The intention of training a particular artificial neural network (ANN) is to obtain the finest weight load. With this protocol, a particular weight is taken into account as feedback, which is optimized by means of the hybrid AGCS protocol. In the beginning, a collection of weights is initialized and the similar miscalculation is discovered. Finally, during training of an ANN, we can easily overcome the training complications involving ANNs and also gain the finest overall performance with training of the ANN. We have implemented the proposed system in MATLAB, and the overall accuracy is about 93%, which is much better than that of the genetic algorithm (86%) and CS (88%) algorithm.
