Abstract
A radial injection experimental setup is presented in this paper, which allows one to study the transport and deposition of suspended particles and permeability impairment in porous media. This setup allows one to simulate the conditions of the injection of produced water in oil reservoirs from an injection well. This is achieved by a radial injection of water containing suspended particles of a few microns in size from a central well including a sand screen, through a confined cylindrical sand pack (diameter 52 cm, height 40 cm). A peripheral drainage system permits the recovery of the fluid at the outlet of the sand pack by a collector equipped with a turbidimeter for measuring the concentration of suspended particles. The injection pressure is measured at the inlet, and six pore pressure probes have been installed at different locations inside the sand pack. First experimental results presented show a significant heterogeneity of deposited particle profiles in both radial and axial directions.

Background and aim. Making a diagnosis and prescribing medicine is the most important skill required by any doctor in the colleges, hospitals or clinical practice. Prescribing is the intervention that has the greatest influence on patients’ health requiring complex series of sub-competencies like making a diagnosis, setting a therapeutic goal, choosing the approach, choosing the best drug, route and frequency of administration, duration of therapy, writing the prescription, patient information, monitoring drug effects and, lastly, review the prescription.The aim of this research is to assess the knowledge and practices of Indian dental students regarding the prescription of antibiotics and analgesics.Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 870 Undergraduate and Post-graduate dental students of Udaipur city. A close ended, pretested questionnaire was administered to students. The data were analyzed using the student’s t -test and one-way ANOVA with post hoc Bonferroni test.Results. A total of 870 students participated in the study. Most of them were females and were pursuing undergraduate studies. Post graduate students had greater medication prescription knowledge than the undergraduate students. Nevertheless, practice of medication prescription among these two was found adequate.Conclusion. Undergraduate dental students have lower knowledge about medication prescription as compared to post-graduate students. Also, knowledge of prescription of medicines in males were higher in comparison to females, though prescription practices of all the dental students was found almost similar.

A Functional Approach to Configural Frequency Analysis
Authors: Von Eye Alexander , Mair Patrick 
Published: September 2017

Standard Configural Frequency Analysis (CFA) is a one-step procedure that determines which cells of a cross-classification contradict a base model. The results are possible types/antitypes depending on whether the observed cell frequencies are significantly lower/higher with respect to the base model. Selecting these cells out does not guarantee that the base model fits. Therefore, the role played by these cells for the base model is unclear, and interpretation of types and antitypes can be problematic. In this paper, functional CFA is proposed. This model of CFA pursues two goals simultaneously. First, cells are selected out that constitute types and antitypes. Second, the base model is fit to the data. This is done using an iterative procedure that blanks out individual cells one at a time, until the base model fits or until there are no more cells that can be blanked out. In comparison to standard CFA, functional CFA is shown to be more parsimonious, that is, fewer types and antitypes need to be selected out. The methods are illustrated and compared using data examples from the literature.

THE ORIGIN OF WOMEN CREATION IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF SUFI COMMENTARY
Authors: Norhidayat Norhidayat 
Published: September 2017

Jika sebagian kalangan feminis muslim menolak riwayat hadis yang menyebutkan tulang rusuk sebagai asal-usul kejadian perempuan pertama kali karena secara tidak langsung menyimbolkan posisi sub-ordinasi bagi perempuan, sebagian kaum sufi, justru memanfaatkan riwayat tersebut dalam penjelasan mereka dan memaknainya secara positif. Kaum sufi justru menilainya sebagai simbol saling ketergantungan, cinta kasih, dan keberpasangan antara laki-laki dan perempuan. Penulis dalam tulisan ini menyimpulkan bahwa dalam pandangan kaum sufi, perempuan semenjak awal penciptaannya telah ditakdirkan untuk menjadi pasangan bagi laki-laki, sehingga antara keduanya jadi saling melengkapi dan saling ketergantungan. Pandangan ini, tentu saja menepis anggapan tentang subordinasi bagi perempuan. Pandangan kaum sufi dalam kasus ini sejalan dengan apa yang dikemukakan oleh kaum feminis muslim kontemporer. Namun demikian, berbeda dengan langkah yang diambil sebagian feminis muslim kontemporer, kaum sufi pada umumnya lebih memilih menggunakan ta’wȋl sehingga memberi makna positif ketika memahami hadis-hadis yang menyebutkan asal usul penciptaan perempuan ketimbang mereka harus mencurigai para periwayatnya atau bahkan menganulir hadis-hadis Nabi yang dinilai sahȋh oleh mayoritas ulama.If some Muslim feminists reject the tradition that argues that the Prophet Adam’s ribs as the origin of the first female event for it indirectly symbolizes the subordinate positions for women, some Sufis instead use the narratives in their explanations and positively interpret them. The Sufis judged the notion as a symbol of interdependence, love, and belonging between men and women. The writer in this paper concludes that in the view of the Sufis, women, since the beginning of their creation, have been destined to become a partner for men, so that between the two become complementary and interdependent. This view, of course, dismisses the notion of women’s subordination. The Sufi’s view in this case is in line with what contemporary Muslim feminists have argued. However, in contrast to the steps taken by some contemporary Muslim feminists, Sufis generally prefer to use the ta'wȋl to provide a positive meaning in understanding the traditions which mention the origin of women's creation rather than to suspect their narrators or even annul The Prophet hadiths considered valid (sahȋh) by the majority of scholars.

Introduction: The role of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) clearance in long-term kidney graft survival is unknown. In this study, we examined short-term trends of urinary protein/creatinine (P/C) ratios in a cohort of HCV-infected kidney transplant recipients with stable graft function and treated with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs).Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 19 kidney transplant patients with chronic HCV infection treated with DAAs at the University of Alabama at Birmingham 1917 Viral Hepatitis Clinic between January 2013 and June 2016. Markers of glomerular damage were assessed using average protein/creatinine (P/C) ratios measured pre- and post-treatment. We also described treatment efficacy using sustained virologic response at 12 weeks post-HCV treatment (SVR12).Results: The median age of the 19 patients included was 59 years (Q1=58, Q3=64) at completion of treatment. Of these patients, 68% were African American, 32% were White and 63% were male. The median time between kidney transplant and initiation of DAA therapy was 2.25 years (Q1=0.79, Q3=3.79). Post-treatment P/C ratios (median=0.127, Q1=0.090, Q3=0.220) were significantly lower (p=0.01) than pre-treatment ratios (median=0.168, Q1=0.118, Q3=0.385). P/C ratios decreased in 14 of 19 patients (74%) with median change of -0.072 (median percent change= -40%). Post-treatment eGFRs (median=58.9, Q1=48.9, Q3=72.3) were not significantly different (p=0.82) than the pre-treatment values (median=57.0, Q1=48.8, Q3=67.8).Conclusions: In this preliminary study, there was a statistically significant decrease in P/C ratios associated with HCV clearance, suggesting a potential role for DAAs in improving kidney graft survival. Larger cohort studies will be needed to assess the clinical and long-term benefits of DAAs in this special population of HCV infected patients.

Published: September 2017

* The major pathological conditions affecting the shoulder that are treated with use of biological applications include focal cartilage lesions and rotator cuff tears. Biological modalities that previously have been used or investigated include platelet-rich plasma (PRP), growth factors, progenitor cells, bone-marrow stimulation, autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI), matrix-induced ACI (MACI), and biological scaffolds.* Marrow-stimulating procedures have been reported to yield positive results when used for the treatment of focal cartilage lesions of the glenoid or humeral head. Limited data are available on the use of PRP, ACI, and MACI for the treatment of chondral lesions involving the shoulder, and therefore no conclusions can be drawn regarding the efficacy of these modalities.* Preclinical and in vitro studies have demonstrated that modulation of growth factors may be helpful for rotator cuff tear healing; however, the optimal modulation and delivery vehicle remain to be elucidated. PRP has received much research attention; however, most studies have been hindered by study setup and conflicting results. Therefore, the use of PRP to enhance rotator cuff healing remains controversial. Progenitor cells have shown positive results in a small number of preclinical and clinical studies, but further research is needed before conclusions can be drawn.* In summary, basic-science studies investigating biological factors to enhance healing in the shoulder have shown potential. However, clinical data are still limited, contradictory, and controversial. Additional research is needed. Most importantly, robust, consistent, well-powered clinical trials are necessary to definitively determine which methods improve clinical outcomes.
