Background: Sepsis is an important cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. Nonspecific and subtle clinical features coupled with expensive, time consuming and unavailable definite laboratory tests challenges its accurate diagnosis in clinical practice. Sepsis is traditionally suspected in neonates based on clinical features, maternal and neonatal risk factors and is treated by empirical antibiotics. These risk factors and clinical features are variable depending on geographical, cultural and socio-economic background. We studied the clinical and bacteriological profile of high risk neonates for sepsis development in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), to make the precise clinical diagnosis and prevent inadvertent use of antibiotics.Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on 200 neonates with suspected sepsis either by high risk factors and /or clinical features admitted to NICU for a period of nine months. After clinical examination, septic screen including blood culture was done and antibiotics were started as per the NICU protocol.Results: Of the 200 neonates studied, 20.5% had positive blood culture with Coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) and contaminants. 89.5% had early onset of sepsis (EOS). Neonatal profile showed 60.5% males, 55% inborn, 37.5% premature, 49.5% low birth weight babies. Maternal profile showed 49.5% Primigravida, 73% aged above 20 years at delivery and 97.5% literates. Outcome of admitted neonates showed, 72% were discharged after improvement, 10.5% died and 17.5% discharged against medical advice. Death due to respiratory distress syndrome was common in preterm and male neonates.Conclusions: EOS was common in our NICU. Blood culture showed more CoNS and contaminants necessitating the need for better blood sampling and hand wash technique.

Can we use Facebook groups to establish social presence in online courses?
Authors: Izmirli Serkan 
Published: November 2017

In this research, the potential of Facebook groups used in an online course in order to establish social presence was examined. Qualitative research methodology was used in this study. The participants of the study were 12 senior undergraduate students taking the School Experience course online over a period of 12 weeks. A Facebook group where announcements and deep discussions were made and files were shared was used. Facebook group posts as document data; and student interviews as interview data were collected. According to the results, it was found that Facebook groups established social presence. Social presence involves three categories; affective expression, open communication and group cohesion. Paralanguage, emotion, humor and self-disclosure emerged as indicators in the affective expression category. Acknowledgement, agreement, invitation and continuing a thread were found as indicators in the open communication category. Greetings and salutations, vocatives, group reference, social sharing and collaboration were found as indicators in the group cohesion category. A similar study can be conducted by collecting quantitative data from a large number of participants using the social presence scale. Other social networksâ€™ potentials to establish social presence can be examined. Since Facebook groups establish social presence, they can be used to support online or face-to-face courses.

Published: November 2017

<p>Most of the smoke detection system these days still using sensors that have to receive specific particles before it could give a warning. But, this system takes some time to react and quite difficult to place in spacious room or the outdoor. To overcome this, there is some research that build smoke detection system using many kind video processing technique that could provide early warning. In this research, wavelet energy was used to detect smoke in the video. To determine candidate blocks in a frame that contain smoke, this research performed background subtraction and color analysis based on HSV color space. Then implementing spatial analysis and spatio-temporal analysis by using wavelet energy method and accumulative motion orientation to detect the smoke. This system using combination of dataset from previous research [1], downloaded from various sources and self-made dataset. Based on testing process using those dataset, this system reaches 91.05% accuracy for block-level and 72.22% accuracy for frame-level.</p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Accumulative motion orientation, smoke detection, spatial analysis, spatio-temporal analysis, video processing, wavelet energy
Technology Studies and Material Culture Studies: Possibilities of Cooperation in the Case of Bone Artefacts
Authors: Vitezović Selena , Vranić Ivan 
Published: November 2017

Bone artefacts are among the less thoroughly studied classes of archaeological material, especially in the case of particular periods and regions. The reasons behind this are not uniform. The most obvious and general are linked to the research practices of culture-historical archaeology, often neglecting bone artefacts, considering them not sufficiently attractive or informative. The most significant shift towards recognition of a set of potential information gained from bone objects was achieved in the framework of studies of prehistoric technology during the second half of 20th century, especially in the French archaeological school. This research strategy raised a number of questions concerning the acquisition of raw material, modes of production and usage of objects, whose interpretative potential gained in power, leading to the increased attention paid to faunal remains in archaeological investigations. Yet this source of information on the actual details of relations between people and material culture, opened by technology studies, has not been sufficiently explored. It may be suggested that the reasons are the narrow specialization of researchers and insufficient inclusion of the gathered information into the wider interpretive framework, various traditions and lack of cooperation among the national archaeological “schools”, language barriers etc. However, the main reason behind this state of affairs may be sought for in non-integrated theoretical perspectives and the lack of clearly articulated interpretive position of researchers seeking to apply the knowledge gained from technology studies, considering this strategy as an “objective, scientific method”, providing concrete answers clearly complying to the expectations of the dominant archaeological paradigm.
The paper offers a critical review of a number of examples of application of technology studies in archaeology and possible directions of a more integrated and theoretically informed approach. One of the obvious solutions may be sought in the direction of another research strategy – material culture studies. The aim of the paper is thus to link these two approaches, whose theoretical foundations are not uniform today, but the history of the ideas and the mode of articulation of the basic theoretical assumptions indicate similar theoretical roots.
Antiquarians between Nature and Culture
Authors: V. Мihајlоvić Vlаdimir 
Published: November 2017

From the second half of the 16th century to the beginning of the 18th century, the foundations of modern science were laid through the wide-ranging changes in comprehension of both nature and European societies, today labeled as “scientific revolution”. By the end of this period in the history of European science, the interpretation of universe did not necessarily include the divine intervention and, along with the objectification of nature, the past was objectified as well.
The approaches articulated during the scientific revolution were applied to the investigation into the human past in the works of the antiquarians. The new ways of observation, description, and collection of antiquities were generated as a part of the wider interests in natural history. On the other hand, it may be argued that the antiquarians’ practice joined together the approaches we would today judge as opposed: the ones derived from social theory , as well as the ones based upon natural sciences. In their studies of the past, the antiquarians equally used written sources as well as “naturalistic” methods, such as careful observation, establishment of classifications, or experimental design.
Taking into account the significant contribution of antiquarians to the establishment of disciplinary foundations of archaeology, the paper aims to point to some new possibilities of approaching the study of the past, primarily beyond the established dichotomy of artifacts/ecofacts, and to offer the ways of bridging the present divisions inside the discipline.
The Introduction of Mapping Cultures in European Archaeology - Time Meets Space
Authors: Bandović Aleksandar 
Published: November 2017

Prehistoric archaeology derives its roots from various practices and sciences: antiquarianism, natural history, geology, philology etc. The key conceptual tools of archaeology, including its “basic bloc” – archaeological culture, were formed by the end of the 19th century. Identifying the spatial dimension of archaeological cultures is largely linked to the innovations in adjacent disciplines, such as anthropogeography and its founder Friedrich Ratzel, but also with the general developments in cartography, perceived as a useful and “objective” tool for mapping the European nation states and various ethnic and linguistic communities. Ratzel based his ideas upon the ones of Moritz Wagner, geographer, traveller and researcher, and his work Law of the Migration of Organisms, conceived as an extension to Darwin’s theory of evolution. The innovative method of mapping cultures, as well as migrationism, have both remained permanent traits of Ratzel’s anthropogeography and the school of “cultural circles”. The examples from German-speaking archaeology demonstrate beyond doubt the ways in which the visualisation of archaeological cultures influenced the interpretations of European prehistory.
CONCEPCIONES DE LA ÉTICA Y LA FILOSOFÍA CLÁSICA GRECOROMANA
Authors: Vasquez Cerna Oswaldo 
Published: November 2017

La filosofía, como creación humana a través de su evolución histórica, se plasma como instrucción, con la filosofía clásica greco romana, del siglo VII a.de C. al siglo V d. de C, a la que se trata de hermanar nuevamente con la ciencia, la cual resulta positivo. Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la filosofía fue dejada de lado en el proceso de vinculación entre la ciencia y la tecnología. Durante casi toda la segunda mitad del siglo XX, la ciencia y la tecnología, ejercieron una influencia notable, permitiendo incluso que se efectuaran críticas severas a la filosofía en el sentido de que era anacrónico hablar de reflexiones filosóficas en plena era científico-técnica. El presente trabajo es un relato histórico de la vinculación entre filosofía y ética, enfocado desde la época grecorromana, por tanto el artículo es un enfoque de la aplicación de la ética y la deontología a las ciencias contables y, al mismo tiempo, a los negocios.
