Rapid and Effective Response to a Changing Cost Climate; Ofon Phase 2 Drilling Campaign
Authors: Ike Peace , Barrault Philippe , Ekut Emmanuel 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
Ofon Phase 2 is the second wave of development strategy planned for the Ofon Brownfield, it aims to develop scarcely developed fairways, under-developed reservoir levels and increase the drainage coverage of already developed and depleted fairways of the field. It also aims to increase the efficiency of oil production in the field with gas lift facilities and new platforms, stopping the flaring of gas and the introduction of a more efficient water injection system with sea water. However in recent years the cost climate has been rapidly changing, not favourably, culminating in the global fall of the price of crude from over $110 a barrel to under $30 between June 2014 and February 2016; this inspired a response in the project team to reduce the cost of implementing the project while retaining as much as possible its scope, the reserves attached to this development phase and preserving the economic value of the campaign. The response of the geosciences team to this challenging cost climate was to optimize the geoscience objectives rapidly in a short period of time to maintain the already planned schedule of the Phase 2 campaign; this included optimizing the reserves per well associated to the campaign, addition of fall-back targets to well objectives to ensure contingent results, replacing technically challenging and expensive wells with less expensive wells with similar incremental of reserves. The strategy also involved optimizing planned data acquisition, well trajectory optimization and aiding drilling initiatives like batch drilling. These initiatives have resulted in successes in the initial phase of the Ofon Phase 2 drilling campaign. The unfavourable cost climate has engineered a technically effective cost awareness culture in the technical planning and management of the Ofon field and with its successes is a culture that is determined to be kept moving forward in the Project.
Airway management in suspected laryngotracheal trauma in an uncooperative patient
Authors: Gadd Karl 
Published: July 2017

SummaryI report laryngotracheal trauma in an uncooperative patient. He had attempted to hang himself with rope and in the process sustained an obvious, transverse, anterior neck abrasion. He was uncooperative without ketamine sedation. Securing the airway was our clinical priority. Tracheal intubation without visual guidance risks worsening airway injuries, creating a false passage and even complete loss of airway control. Airway management, with minor modification, followed a recently published mental model for blunt laryngotracheal trauma. The modification was passing a fibrescope between the vocal cords without the use of a tracheal tube placed at the laryngeal inlet as a conduit. Advantages of this modification include a smaller diameter device entering the trachea that also never passes beyond the cords in a blind fashion.

Abstract
The historical records of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in a sediment core are essential for understanding the circulation of them in the global context. In this study, we measured the concentrations of 22 OCPs in the sediment core from the Huaihe River, China by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The total concentration of 18 kinds of 22 OCPs in the sediment core were in the range of 0.01–7.18 ng g−1 with an average concentration of 4.53 ng g−1. The average detection rate was up to 51.60%. Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs) were the predominant species in the sediment core. The different categories of OCPs were in the following order: DDTs &gt; hexachlorocyclohexane (HCHs) &gt; Chlordanes &gt; Endosulfans &gt; hexachlorobenzene (HCB). Drins were all lower than detection limits. The temporal trends of OCPs were influenced by their different historical usages, different properties or different degradation conditions in the environment. There was an obvious decreasing trend for OCPs in the core in recent years. The findings suggested there was also no new pollution source input in recent years and OCPs could not cause adverse biological risk in the environment.
Low-Frequency Atmospheric Gravity Waves from Vertical Tectonic Deformation During Two Recent Chilean Megathrust Events: the 2010 Maule (Mw8.8), and 2014 Iquique (Mw8.2) Earthquakes
Authors: Mikumo Takeshi , Shibutani Takuo , Iwakuni Makiko , Arai Nobuo 
Published: July 2017

Background:
Low-frequency atmospheric waves with gravity modes were recorded within 6.5 hours and 4.7 hours after two recent Chilean megathrust events, the 2010 Maule (Mw = 8.8), and 2014 Iquique (Mw = 8.2) earthquakes, respectively, at several microbarograph stations of the International Monitoring System (IMS) in South America and its surrounding regions.

Method:
Their apparent phase velocity up to the epicentral distances of 7,404 km and 6,481 km was found to be around 319 m/s and 337 m/s, respectively for the gravity modes after the two earthquakes. We tried to construct synthetic waveforms to be recorded at some of these microbarograph stations, incorporating various seismic source characteristics of the two earthquakes, and also a standard sound velocity structure up to a height of 220 km above the ground surface. The comparison appears to show some agreement between the observed and synthetic waveforms at least for the first 22 min for appropriate combinations of these source parameters.

Results:
The results indicate that the observed atmospheric gravity waves at the initial stage appear to have actually been excited at the source region of these megathrust earthquakes.

Conclusion:
The average rise time of vertical tectonic movement at the source region, which is estimated to be from the observed gravity waves, appears to be in the range between 2 and 3 min.
Impact of Energetic Electron Precipitation on the Upper Atmosphere: Nitric Monoxide
Authors: Vialatte A. , Barthélemy M. , Lilensten J. 
Published: July 2017

Background:Nitric oxide concentration in the upper atmosphere is known to be highly dependent on the solar activity. It can be transported to the stratosphere by the atmospheric circulation. In the stratosphere it is responsible for the destruction of ozone and consequently stratospheric heating rates are affected. This is one of the mechanisms by which solar variability has been suspected to drive variability in the energetic budget of the Earth climate. Therefore, it is essential to know every physical and chemical processes leading to the production or to a destruction of nitric oxide.Aim:The aim of this work is to calculate the production rate of NO+and some of the NO electronic states created by electron impact on NO at night in the auroral zone using an electron transport code.Conclusion:We study this variability under different precipitation conditions and taking into account the variability of the neutral atmosphere with the geomagnetic and solar activity. We find that the energetic electron precipitation has a very small effect on the absolute value of the NO+and NO* production rates. In order to help further research to consider the effect of NO+and NO*, we provide a table of all the production rates in a medium solar and geomagnetic activity case.
Is Male Rheumatoid Arthritis an Occupational Disease? A Review
Authors: Murphy Dan , Hutchinson David 
Published: July 2017

Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic, inflammatory disease with an estimated global prevalence of 0.3–1.0%. An unexplained association exists between low formal education and the development of RA independent of smoking. It is established that RA is initiated in the lungs and that various occupations associated with dust, fume and metal inhalation can increase the risk of RA development.Objective:The objective of this review is to evaluate published clinical reports related to occupations associated with RA development. We highlight the concept of a “double-hit” phenomenon involving adsorption of toxic metals from cigarette smoke by dust residing in the lung as a result of various work exposures. We discuss the relevant pathophysiological consequences of these inhalational exposures in relation to RA associated autoantibody production.Method:A thorough literature search was performed using available databases including Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane database to cover all relative reports, using combinations of keywords: rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid factor, anti-citrullinated peptide antibody silica, dust, fumes, metals, cadmium, cigarette smoking, asbestos, mining, bronchial associated lymphoid tissue, heat shock protein 70, and adsorption.Conclusion:We postulate that the inhalation of dust, metals and fumes is a significant trigger factor for RA development in male patients and that male RA should be considered an occupational disease. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review of occupations as a risk factor for RA in relation to the potential underlying pathophysiology.
Reifikacja i postantropologia prawa o młodzieżowych ośrodkach socjoterapeutycznych

Published: July 2017

Indagacja naukowa dotyczy oceny nałożenia na podmioty niepubliczne prowadzące młodzieżowe ośrodki socjoterapii obowiązku utworzenia szkoły w ramach ich struktury organizacyjnej, w wyniku zmian wprowadzonych przepisami ustawy z dnia 20 lutego 2015 roku o zmianie ustawy o systemie oświaty oraz niektórych innych ustaw. Podstawę prawną określenia, w jakim stopniu oddziaływania socjoterapeutyczne przynoszą pożądane efekty w odniesieniu do młodzieży i instytucji socjalizacyjnych, stanowią aktualnie obowiązujące przepisy ustawy z dnia 7 września 1991 roku o systemie oświaty oraz rozporządzenie Ministra Edukacji Narodowej z dnia 2 listopada 2015 roku w sprawie rodzajów i szczegółowych zasad działania placówek publicznych, warunków pobytu dzieci i młodzieży w tych placówkach oraz wysokości i zasad odpłatności wnoszonej przez rodziców za pobyt ich dzieci w tych placówkach. Generalnym celem postępowania pedagogicznego winna być zakończona sukcesem socjalizacja nieletnich, która przyczynia się nie tylko do ich uspołecznienia i integracji ze wspólnotą ale również, na nieco ogólniejszym poziomie, do jednolitości norm i wartości koniecznych dla spójności całego społeczeństwa.
Problematyka samotności i poczucie osamotnienia młodzieży, wychowanków młodzieżowych ośrodków wychowawczych
Authors: Szafrańska Karina 
Published: July 2017

Alienacja w początkowej fazie adolescencji jest zjawiskiem powszechnym i zrozumiałym ze względu na etap rozwojowy. Może być traktowana jako zjawisko sprzyjające kształtowaniu się tożsamości młodego człowieka i osiąganiu przez niego autonomii. ErichFromm zwraca uwagę, że przezwyciężanie jej jest elementem usprawniającym podmiot i daje możliwość uzyskania odpowiedzi na ważne pytania natury egzystencjalnej (Fromm 1996). Pewien poziom samotności sprzyja kształtowaniu osobistej dojrzałości i integracji. Istotne jest to, że młody człowiek szukając odpowiedzi na nurtujące go pytania potrzebuje kontaktów z bliskimi i rówieśnikami ale także czasu na przemyślenia i intelektualną refleksję w odosobnieniu. Wytyczając własną drogę uczy się zaspokojenia dwóch pozornie sprzecznych ze sobą potrzeb: autonomii i bliskości z innymi – z jednej strony bycia razem, a z drugiej oddalenia się z relacji społecznych. Erikson przyjmuje, że okres adolescencji wiąże się z koniecznością przezwyciężania kryzysu określanego jako intymność-izolacja (Erikson 2000). Nastolatek, który odnalazł już własną tożsamość poszukuje możliwości połączenia jej z tożsamością innych. Pojawiające się u młodzieży zachowania wspólnotowe nacechowane serdecznością, bliskością i otwartością łączą się z pozytywnym rozwiązaniem kryzysu związanego z intymnością i izolacją, a tym samym gotowością do zaangażowania się w określone związki i wspólnoty. Poczucie alienacji wsród adolescentów tłumaczyć można prawidłowościami rozwojowymi i kryzysem normatywnym. Naturalne w procesie rozwojowym tendencje alienacyjne u młodzieży, których istotą jest doznawanie poczucia odłączenia czy obcości wobec jakiegoś obszaru rzeczywistości zewnętrznej lub wewnętrznej człowieka powinny jednak mieć charakter przejściowy. Negatywne następstwa braku rozwiązania kryzysu rozwojowego, łączące się z poczuciem głębokiej izolacji i brakiem wystarczającej sieci wsparcia społecznego, mają związek ze sferą poznawczą i emocjonalną adolescenta i prowadzić mogą do konsekwencji psychospołecznych. Przy dużym nasileniu znacząco modyfikują psychospołeczny rozwój i funkcjonowanie nastolatka. W artykule przedstawione zostaną wyniki badań nad poczuciem osamotnienia wychowanków Młodzieżowych Ośrodków Wychowawczych województwa mazowieckiego.

Strategic Disclosures of Litigation Loss Contingencies When Customer-Supplier Relationships Are at Risk
Authors: Cen Ling , Chen Feng , Hou Yu , Richardson Gordon D. 
Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT
In the presence of litigation-facing suppliers, the supply chain relationship is at risk. Suppliers with principal customers (dependent suppliers) have a higher concentration of sales to customers, and they are more at risk relative to suppliers without principal customers (non-dependent suppliers). As a result, we predict and find that litigation disclosure patterns differ for the two supplier types: dependent suppliers are more likely to delay bad news and accelerate good news related to litigation outcomes, compared to non-dependent suppliers. Such strategic disclosure patterns in our end-game setting are opposite to those documented in the existing supply chain literature for the repeated-game setting (for example, Hui, Klasa, and Yeung 2012).

Implied Cost of Equity Capital Estimates as Predictors of Accounting Returns and Stock Returns
Authors: Larocque Stephannie A. , Lyle Matthew R. 
Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT
Using a popular return decomposition, we show that expected returns should on average be positively associated with future return on equity (ROE), controlling for the book-to-market ratio (BM). However, we find that none of the commonly used implied cost of equity capital estimates (ICCs), which proxy for expected returns, are positively associated with future ROE. This lack of association with future accounting returns appears to affect the ability of ICCs to forecast future stock returns: ICCs do not provide information about future stock returns incremental to that contained in a linear combination of current ROE and BM. Our findings suggest that tractable accounting-based models that linearly combine BM and ROE, or other accounting-based variables, offer improvements on extant ICCs as expected returns proxies.

Published: July 2017

Nowadays, traffic light system is very important to avoid car crashes and arrange traffic load. In the Sulaimani City / Iraq, there are many traffic problems such as traffic congestion or traffic jam and the amount of time provided manually to the traffic light system. This is the main difficulty that we try to solve. The traffic lights exist but still do not manage traffic congestion due to the fixed time provided for each lane regardless of their different load. Therefore, we are proposing to change the traditional traffic system to smart traffic system (adaptive system). This paper Focuses on the existing system (fixed system), then propose the adaptive one. The main crucial side effects of the existing system are:

Emergency cases: congested traffics might block the way of emergencies for instance ambulance, which transports people to the hospital
Wasting time of people generally and specially
Delays, which lead people to not to be punctual, this means people arrive late to the work
Wasting more fuels as staying more in the traffics, which affects the environment by increasing pollution.

The capsules contained 58.1- 68.1% seeds and 1.2-2.8% essential oil. By GC-MS analysis 23 constituents of the oil were identified with 1, 8- cineole as the chief component. Major constituents of the oil were α-pinene (1.7-6.5%), β - pinene (4.0-11.1%), 1, 8- cineole (63.2-73.4%) and α- terpineol (5.6-7.6%). The oil contained high level of 1, 8- cineole when compared to small cardamom (Elettaria cardamomMaton). α -Terpinyl acetate, the chief component of small cardamom oil was not detected in large cardamom.
La visión Skinneriana sobre las alucinaciones. Vigencia y revisión
Authors: García Montes José M. , Pérez Álvarez Marino 
Published: July 2017

Resumen: El presente trabajo expone brevemente la visión que B.F. Skinner mantenía sobre las alucinaciones como fenómenos psicológicos, y defiende su vigencia y relevancia hoy en día. Para ello se parte de la concepción skinneriana sobre las conductas de percibir, imaginar y soñar. Se insiste en que, según el genial psicólogo americano, las diferencias entre la percepción por un lado y la imaginación o el sueño por otro, se centran en qué tipo de variables controlan el comportamiento en cuestión. Así el percibir estaría controlado principalmente por la estimulación circundante a la persona, mientras que la imaginación o el sueño lo estarían por variables que se hallan “debajo de la piel” del sujeto y, por lo tanto, son privadas e inaccesibles a la comunidad verbal de forma directa. Partiendo de ello, Skinner viene a entender las alucinaciones como conductas perceptivas que se realizan en ausencia del estímulo percibido, similares a las conductas de imaginar o soñar, pero que la persona, por diversas razones, no reconoce como controladas fundamentalmente por la estimulación privada. Finalmente se realizan algunas consideraciones críticas que atañen a la falta en Skinner de una teoría radical sobre la persona. Skinner’s view on hallucinations. Validity and revision Abstract: This work outlines the vision that B.F. Skinner held on hallucinations as psychological phenomena, and defends its validity and relevance nowadays. Our thesis starts with the Skinner’s conception on the behaviors of perceiving, imagining and dreaming. It is highlighted that, in Skinner’s point of view, the differences between perception on one hand and imagination or dreaming in the other, focus on what kind of variables control the behavior in question. Thus, the perceptive behavior would be controlled primarily by stimulus surrounding the person, while the imagination or dreaming would be by variables that are “under the skin” of the subject and, therefore, are private and directly inaccessible to the verbal community. On this basis, Skinner comes to an understanding of hallucinations as perceptual behaviors that occur in the absence of a perceived stimulus, similar to the behavior of imagining or dreaming, but, when hallucinating, the person, for various reasons, does not recognize his / her behaviour as controlled mainly by private stimulation. Finally we made some critical remarks regarding the lack in Skinner’s psychology of a radical theory on the human person.
