Advising travellers on the risk of typhoid and paratyphoid
Authors: Gawthrop Mary 
Published: January 2018

Typhoid and paratyphoid are bacterial infections that can cause serious symptoms in travellers. Mary Gawthrop explains the role of the practice nurse in assessing risk and providing protection against these illnesses Typhoid, caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, and paratyphoid, caused by other Salmonella enterica serotypes, are known as enteric fever. Both diseases are spread by the faecal–oral route, and therefore are predominantly diseases of countries with inadequate sanitation and poor public health resources. Typhoid is endemic in South Asia and parts of South-East Asia, the Middle East, Central and South America, and Africa. Most UK travellers diagnosed with typhoid and paratyphoid had recently travelled to the Indian subcontinent—Bangladesh, India or Pakistan—to visit friends and relatives. In the UK, currently an oral, live vaccine and injectable, inactivated vaccines are available. The vaccines only protect against typhoid and not paratyphoid infection, and are not 100% effective. Therefore, practice nurses should remind travellers of the importance of food and water hygiene measures.
Translation as artistic communication in the aesthetics of migration: From nonfiction to the visual arts
Authors: Rizzo Alessandra 
Published: January 2018

AbstractIn an increasingly globalized and digitalized world, where the advancement of technologies and media constructions oversimplify and manipulate public beliefs and shared knowledge, the artistic sector seems to provide new networks of solidarity, collaboration and interaction that challenge a world dominated by conflicts and cultural shocks. Against this backdrop, acts of translation within the arts bear witness to humanity and become the ultimate ground for subjective expression and fundamental reflections upon individualist attitudes against migration issues. By putting emphasis on the role of translation in its political transfer of migration into the arts, this investigation draws attention to a recent corpus of works of art that testifies to the modalities by means of which the creative cultural industries are contributing to giving voice to migration not just as transruption and memory, but as an inclusive form of movement and communication. In Notes on the Exodus by Richard Flanagan, with illustrations by Ben Quilty (2016), and in the arts installations Call Me By My Name and All I Left Behind. All I Will Discover (London, 2017), translation intervenes as an instrument of cross-cultural collaboration and solidarity, resistance and dissent, and also demonstrates to what extent stories of migration can interact within art forms and be performed as acts of translation involving processes of (re)narration and (re)framing of identities.
Equivariant Gauss sum of finite quadratic forms
Authors: Ma Shouhei 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
The classical quadratic Gauss sum can be thought of as an exponential sum attached to a quadratic form on a cyclic group.
We introduce an equivariant version of Gauss sum for arbitrary finite quadratic forms, which is an exponential sum twisted by the action of the orthogonal group.
We prove that simple arithmetic formulas hold for some basic classes of quadratic forms.
In applications, such invariant appears in the dimension formula for certain vector-valued modular forms.
Endophytic colonisation of tomato by the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana: the use of different inoculation techniques and their effects on the tomato leafminer Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)
Authors: Allegrucci Natalia , Velazquez Maria Silvana , Russo María Leticia , Perez Emilia , Scorsetti Ana Clara 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Fungal entomopathogens can naturally regulate populations of various insects. The entomopathogen Beauveria bassiana (Bals.-Criv.) Vuill. is also able to endophytically colonize different plants. Endophytic colonization by entomopathogens may provide a source of indirect interactions between fungi and insects and has been associated with the ability of the fungus to control insect pests. The tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) is considered one of the most devastating pests of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) and its difficult control is due to its miner habit, short life cycle, and high reproductive capacity. The aims of this study were: (i) to use three different techniques, i.e. leaf spraying, seed immersion and root dipping, for the endophytic inoculation of B. bassiana in tomato plants; and (ii) to assess the effect of B. bassiana on tomato leaf consumption and mortality of T. absoluta after inoculation. The percentage of colonization by B. bassiana was assessed 7, 14 and 28 days after inoculation. All inoculation techniques employed allowed the recovery of B. bassiana, although our results showed significant differences between techniques. Leaf spraying was the most effective, with the highest percentage of colonization recorded 7 days after inoculation. We also evaluated (i) the effect on the mortality of T. absoluta by direct contact with conidia of B. bassiana, and (ii) the effect on tomato leaf consumption and mortality by indirect contact through ingestion of inoculated plant tissues with B. bassiana. Mortality bioassays showed that B. bassiana infected T. absoluta, either by direct contact or indirectly, via ingestion of inoculated tomato leaves. Direct contact showed a higher percentage of mortality and a lower median survival time (MST) than indirect contact. Significant differences in the mortality percentages of T. absoluta after exposure with B. bassiana were found among the treatments and the control. Our results suggest that the endophytic inoculation of B. bassiana in tomato crops provides the basis for further investigation, which should focus on the virulence of the endophytic B. bassiana against T. absoluta.
Numerical investigation of magnetohydrodynamic slip flow of power-law nanofluid with temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity over a permeable surface
Authors: Hussain Sajid , Aziz Asim , Khalique Chaudhry Masood , Aziz Taha 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
In this paper, a numerical investigation is carried out to study the effect of temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity on heat transfer and slip flow of electrically conducting non-Newtonian nanofluids. The power-law model is considered for water based nanofluids and a magnetic field is applied in the transverse direction to the flow. The governing partial differential equations(PDEs) along with the slip boundary conditions are transformed into ordinary differential equations(ODEs) using a similarity technique. The resulting ODEs are numerically solved by using fourth order Runge-Kutta and shooting methods. Numerical computations for the velocity and temperature profiles, the skin friction coefficient and the Nusselt number are presented in the form of graphs and tables. The velocity gradient at the boundary is highest for pseudoplastic fluids followed by Newtonian and then dilatant fluids. Increasing the viscosity of the nanofluid and the volume of nanoparticles reduces the rate of heat transfer and enhances the thickness of the momentum boundary layer. The increase in strength of the applied transverse magnetic field and suction velocity increases fluid motion and decreases the temperature distribution within the boundary layer. Increase in the slip velocity enhances the rate of heat transfer whereas thermal slip reduces the rate of heat transfer.
"A difficult case": Pacioli and Cardano on the Chinese Rings
Authors: Heeffer Albrecht , Hinz Andreas M. 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
The Chinese rings puzzle is one of those recreational mathematical problems known for several centuries in the West as well as in Asia. Its origin is diffcult to ascertain but is most likely not Chinese. In this paper we provide an English translation, based on a mathematical analysis of the puzzle, of two sixteenth-century witness accounts. The first is by Luca Pacioli and was previously unpublished. The second is by Girolamo Cardano for which we provide an interpretation considerably different from existing translations. Finally, both treatments of the puzzle are compared, pointing out the presence of an implicit idea of non-numerical recursive algorithms.
A generalization of Trenkler’s magic cubes formula
Authors: Uko Livinus U. , Barron Terry L. 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
A Magic Cube of order p is a p×p×p cubical array with non-repeated entries from the set {1, 2, . . . , p3} such that all rows, columns, pillars and space diagonals have the same sum. In this paper, we show that a formula introduced in The Mathematical Gazette 84(2000), by M. Trenkler, for generating odd order magic cubes is a special case of a more general class of formulas. We derive sufficient conditions for the formulas in the new class to generate magic cubes, and we refer to the resulting class as regular magic cubes. We illustrate these ideas by deriving three new formulas that generate magic cubes of odd order that differ from each other and from the magic cubes generated with Trenkler’s rule.
Modelling Creep (Relaxation) of the Urinary Bladder

Published: January 2018

Abstract
We first present the results of an experiment in which the passive properties of the urinary bladder were investigated using strips of rabbit bladder. Under the assumption that the urinary bladder had orthopaedic characteristics, the strips were taken in the longitudinal and in the circumferential directions. The material was subjected to uniaxial tension, and stress-stretch curves were generated for various rates of deformation. We found that the rates did not have a significantly effect on the passive response of the material. Additionally, the stress-stretch dependence during relaxation of the material when exposed to isometric conditions was determined experimentally.
Next, we measured nonlinear stress-stretch dependence to determine the coefficients for this dependence in analytical form using a standard fitting procedure. The same approach was used to obtain the coefficients for the relaxation curves from the experimental data. Two constitutive laws, the nonlinear model for passive response and the creep model, were introduced within the shell finite element for geometrically and materially nonlinear analysis. We provide descriptions of the numerical procedures that were performed by considering the urinary bladder as a thin-walled shell structure subjected to pressure loading.
The developed numerical algorithm for the incremental-iterative solution was implemented into the finite element program, PAK. The response of the urinary bladder was calculated for continuous filling, and the numerical and experimental results were compared through cystometrograms (pressure-volume relationships). We also present comparisons of the shapes and volumes of the urinary bladder obtained numerically and experimentally. Finally, the numerical results of the creep response, when placed under constant internal pressure, are provided for various stages of deformation.

Published: January 2018

Abstract
Prevalence of cognitive disorders is high in maintenance hemodialysis patients. Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) is used for detecting and evaluation of cognitive disorder degree in this patient population. In examined patient population, only 5 (12.5%) of them had normal cognitive function (MoCA ≥26). Mild cognitive impairment (MoCA 18-26) was found in 65.9% (29) patients, while moderate cognitive disorder (MoCA 10-17) was detected in 6 (21.6%) patients. Major cognitive disorder wasn’t detected in examined population. Statistically significant correlation was not established between laboratory parameters and overall MoCA score. Statistically significant correlation, however, was established between MoCA item that evaluates space and time orientation and intermediate secondary hyperparathyroidism and space and time orientation and severe secondary hyperparathyroidism. Hemodynamic instability during hemodialysis and silent ischemia of the brain are increasing risk of appearance of cognitive disorders in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
In this article, results of experimental testing of reinforced concrete beams without transverse shear reinforcement are given. Three prototypes for improved testing methods were tested. The testing variable parameter was the shear span to the effective depth ratio. In the result of the tests we noticed that bearing capacity of RC beams is increased with the decreasing shear span to the effective depth ratio. The design method according to current codes was applied to test samples and it showed a significant discrepancy results. Than we proposed the improved design method using the adjusted value of shear strength of concrete CRd,c. The results obtained by the improved design method showed satisfactory reproducibility.

Published: January 2018

Abstract
The provision and maintenance of road infrastructure is a major global business, consequently it is essential that road maintenance services are provided in the most cost effective manner. Without regular maintenance, roads can rapidly fall into disrepair, preventing realization of the longer term impacts of road improvements on development, such as increased agricultural production and growth in school enrollment, which is of particular importance for a network of local (access) roads. Inadequate local roads maintenance in Albania is proposed to be solved by implementing performance based maintenance approach for which the costing exercise is presented within the paper.

Construir as visualizações da paisagem urbana: práticas inglesas e americanas posteriores à Segunda Guerra
Authors: Pousin Frédéric 
Published: January 2018

A paisagem urbana foi objeto de um importante debate entre arquitetos, urbanistas e paisagistas, após a Segunda Guerra. Dois acontecimentos delimitam esse debate: a difusão do townscape pela revista inglesa The Architectural Review, que inaugura a tradição do visual planning: o estado de Las Vegas por Denise Scott Brown, que modifica em profundidade o olhar sobre a cidade contemporânea. A noção de paisagem, que interroga as fronteiras entre a arquitetura, o visual e a cultura aí referida, recorre frequentemente a descrições de cidade e de arquitetura. Estas supõem a manipulação de imagens, não se trata de um jogo, mas de uma nova forma de expressão do pensamento.

Published: January 2018

Abstract
The objective of this study is to assess the investment feasibility analysis of rainwater harvesting in a building located in Brazil. Rainwater was used to supply toilets, cleaning and irrigation. The costs of materials, labour and maintenance were obtained to carry out the economic analysis; the indicators used were the net present value, internal rate of return and payback period. The investment feasibility analysis and the potential for potable water savings were obtained by means of computer simulation. The potential for potable water savings ranged from 26.70% to 64.70%. The net present value, internal rate of return and payback period for the best scenario were, respectively, R$132,801.47, 3.73% per month and 32 months. For the worst scenario the net present value was R$9,451.26, the internal rate of return was 0.91% per month and the payback period was 166 months. Thus, rainwater can be used as a sustainable alternative and be financially feasible.
