Authors: Naveiro-Fuentes Mariña , Puertas Prieto Alberto , Ruíz Rocío Sánchez , Carrillo Badillo María Paz , Ventoso Francisco Montoya , Gallo Vallejo José Luis 
Published: October 2015

AbstractAims:To compare the outcomes of term gestations with oligohydramnios in the absence of other underlying disorders and term gestations with normal amniotic fluid.Methods:A retrospective analysis of obstetric outcomes in 27,708 term pregnancies. We compared three groups: labor induced because of oligohydramnios, spontaneous onset of labor with normal amniotic fluid, and labor induced because of late term pregnancy with normal amniotic fluid. We excluded pregnancies with maternal or fetal diseases or disorders potentially related with amniotic fluid alterations. The main outcome measures were mode of delivery, neonatal birth weight, umbilical artery blood pH, Apgar scores and neonatal discharge status.Results:Compared to spontaneous labor, induction of labor because of oligohydramnios was associated with a higher risk of cesarean delivery and small size of the fetus for gestational age (SGA). Compared to induction because of late term pregnancy there were no significant differences in neonatal, although neonates had a higher risk of being SGA.Conclusion:The only perinatal outcome for which the risk was higher in term pregnancies with isolated oligohydramnios was SGA. The systematic induction of labor in these pregnancies should be questioned.
Downward Causation – The Way How Mind and Matter Interact?
Authors: Losch Andreas 
Published: October 2015

AbstractThe paper analyzes Karl Popper’s and John Eccles’ account of mind-matter interaction and compares their use of the concept of downward causation with other more recent accounts of it, especially those of Nancey Murphy and George Ellis. The argument includes John Polkinghorne’s take on Divine action, as it provides an interesting version of downward mind/matter-interaction. It will be argued that while downward causation is a speculative concept, it nevertheless remains the best approximation to a scientific perspective on mind/matter interaction that we can obtain. As a result, Popper’s and Eccles’ account seems to be more interesting in these regards than usually assumed, and should not continue to be overlooked in the debate.
Applying Fuzzy Similarities Between Evaluation Alternatives and Extreme Solutions for Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision-Making
Authors: Wang Yu-Jie 
Published: October 2015

AbstractMany researchers generalize classical multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods under fuzzy environment into fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (FMCDM) for solving decision-making problems, such as the approaches of Chen, Liang, Raj and Kumar, Wang, and Wang et al. However, some problems occurred in the approaches above. For instance, the intersection of fuzzy numbers is a null set, the calculation for pooled fuzzy numbers is complex work, or the criteria values of anti-ideal/ideal solutions or lower/upper boundaries may not exist in feasible alternatives. In addition, there are too many computation steps to be realized and utilized for decision-makers. Recently, Wang proposed a method-associating technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) with a relative preference relation to solve the above drawbacks of FMCDM. Wang resolved most of the problems with the above approaches, but we still desired to develop a method that was simpler than Wang's on computation. Therefore, we proposed an FMCDM method applying fuzzy similarities between evaluation alternatives and extreme solutions in this paper. The fuzzy similarities between evaluation alternatives and extreme solutions are based on a similarity relation between two fuzzy numbers, and this similarity relation was converted from Lee's extended preference relation. With the fuzzy similarities between evaluation alternatives and extreme solutions, alternative performance indices are easily yielded and then FMCDM are easily and efficiently finished in practice. Furthermore, the computation steps of FMCDM were simplified and reduced through the fuzzy similarities. Furthermore, we compared the proposed method with other methods including Wang's to demonstrate the feasibility and rationality of the method.
Numerical Simulation of Motion Rules of Coarse Aggregates in the Compaction Process

Published: October 2015

Abstract
Three-dimensional digital aggregate particles with irregular shapes were fabricated by truncating spheres with the randomly created cutting planes using the particle flow code in three-dimensions (PFC3D) to investigate their rules of motion during the compaction process. The digital specimen of aggregate mixture with the same gradation and shape characteristics of real aggregates was developed. Specimen were compacted with static pressure in PFC3D. The axial stress on particles, average motion displacement range (AMDR), and translational velocity of each particle were analyzed in the compaction process under different displacements. The results indicate that both axial stress and mean contact-force on particles increases with compacting displacements. Aggregates located at different specimen heights show great differences in AMDR on vertical and horizontal orientation. At the same height of specimen, the AMDR on vertical orientation is greater than that of horizontal orientation and has a positive correlation with compacting displacement. However, the AMDR on horizontal orientation has a poor correlation with compacting displacement. Translational velocity of particle does not show an obvious relationship with the compacting displacement and the height of specimen. This study presented some cues for a further understanding of the compaction mechanism of asphalt mixture.

Authors: Lin Lianshan 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
First principles calculations, especially calculations based on the high-throughput density functional theory (DFT), have been widely accepted as the major approach in atom scale materials design. First principles calculations performed in a high-performance computing environment have been used to generate hundreds of thousands of crystal and compound records. The exponential growth of computational materials is one of the main drivers to develop an advanced materials database systems to ensure efficient data storage, management, query, presentation, and manipulation. This review covered the most cutting edge materials database systems in materials design and in important applications, such as fuel cells. By comparing the advantages and drawbacks of these high-throughput first principles materials database systems, an optimized computational framework was suggested to meet the specific needs of fuel cell applications. Further development of high-throughput DFT materials databases, which in essence accelerates materials innovation, was also discussed.

Abstract: The function of Philosophy State; The application Concept in State laws. One form of the modern state is a state law that is considered more modern and humane in comparison with ancient conception of the state power. However, not all countries have expressed and declared its country as having a basic law of the state or country state philosophy. Preferred the birth of Pancasila as the state, on the other hand the whole constitution in force ever and always include Pancasila and state law as the concept of the Indonesian state. This paper focuses on a critical analysis of the functioning of the state philosophy in the application of state law in the Indonesian context. Abstrak: Fungsi Falsafah Negara Dalam Penerapan Konsep Negara hukum. Salah satu bentuk negara modern adalah negara hukum yang dianggap lebih modern dan manusiawi dibandingkan dengan konsepsi kuno mengenai negara kekuasaan. Namun tidak semua negara yang menyatakan dan mendeklarasikan dirinya sebagai negara hukum mempuntai dasar negara atau falsafah negara. Pancasila kelahirannya sudah dikehendaki sebagai dasar negara, disisi lain seluruh konstitusi yang pernah dan sedang berlaku selalu mencantumkan pancasila dan negara hukum sebagai konsep negara Indonesia. Tulisan ini menfokuskan terhadap analisis kritis tentang fungsi falsafah negara dalam penerapan negara hukum dalam konteks Indonesia. DOI: 10.15408/jch.v1i1.1448

Rising global temperature is causing major physical, chemical, and ecological changes across the planet. There is wide consensus among scientific organizations and climatologists that these broad effects, known as climate change, are the result of contemporary human activity. Climate change poses threats to human health, safety, and security. Children are uniquely vulnerable to these threats. The effects of climate change on child health include physical and psychological sequelae of weather disasters, increased heat stress, decreased air quality, altered disease patterns of some climate-sensitive infections, and food, water, and nutrient insecurity in vulnerable regions. Prompt implementation of mitigation and adaptation strategies will protect children against worsening of the problem and its associated health effects. This technical report reviews the nature of climate change and its associated child health effects and supports the recommendations in the accompanying policy statement on climate change and children’s health.

Objective Review of patients who underwent secondary alveolar bone grafting for total inpatient stay, postoperative complications, and postoperative analgesic requirements. Design Retrospective analysis of medical records. Setting Tertiary care center as part of a regional cleft lip and palate network. Patients All patients who underwent secondary alveolar bone grafting from the iliac crest. Interventions Local anesthetic was infiltrated overlying the anterior iliac crest. An incision was made to conform to the future skin crease and avoid muscle dissection. The cartilaginous cap was incised and raised, and cancellous bone was then harvested. The cavity was packed with hemostatic cellulose and closed in layers. All patients received postoperative antibiotics. All patients were prescribed regular paracetamol (acetaminophen) and ibuprofen if there were no contraindications. Oral morphine was available when requested. Main Outcome Measures Length of stay, postoperative analgesic requirements, and postoperative donor site and oral complications. Results From 100 consecutive patients, 92 (92%) of the patients were discharged the day after surgery; one (1%) patient required four nights of monitoring for postoperative pyrexia of unknown origin. All patients received regular paracetamol, and the majority (86%) did not require oral morphine. Complications included seroma (4%), superficial donor site abscess (1%), postoperative pyrexia of unknown origin (2%), gingival bleeding (2%), and oral infection (2%). Conclusion The findings suggest that donor site pain may be well controlled with simple, regular analgesia. Children tolerated this procedure well and were safely discharged the day after surgery. Alveolar bone grafting from the iliac crest was found to have low complication rates.
Aportes para la gestión de la imagen institucional de los centros educativos
Authors: Questa Mariela 
Published: October 2015

Este artículo surge como corolario de una investigación realizada en el marco del Máster en Gestión Educativa de la Universidad ORT Uruguay. Dicha investigación tuvo por objetivo diagnosticar a una institución educativa dedicada a la formación en carreras técnicas situada en el interior del país, que presenta dificultades para lograr un aumento en las matrículas.Se trabajó con la metodología de estudio de caso, lo que implicó la selección de técnicas de investigación mixtas (tanto cualitativas como cuantitativas) para un mejor abordaje del objeto de estudio.En el diseño de la investigación se proyectaron entrevistas, instancias de observación, análisis documental y encuestas, buscando complementar los puntos de vista de los actores institucionales implicados en la problemática con las opiniones de alumnos, egresados y desertores.El análisis buscó contrastar las lógicas de funcionamiento institucional planteadas desde la dirección con la realidad de los alumnos y sus motivaciones. Esto posibilitó el acceso a los elementos subyacentes existentes y su importancia en la formación de la imagen del centro. El diagnóstico se desarrolló a partir de la aplicación de la técnica del iceberg y de la realización de una matriz FODA. Estas herramientas permitieron generar dos líneas o visiones del problema que posibilitaron diagramar la acción de mejora. El principal hallazgo, sustentado en la revisión teórica de diferentes autores, determina que existe una interrelación entre la forma en que la oferta educativa se adapta a las necesidades del entorno y la comunicación de esta oferta al exterior de la organización con el nivel de matriculaciones.La discusión para enriquecer estos contenidos parte de la falta de producción académica suficiente como para contrastar diferentes experiencias de gestión de la imagen de centros educativos. El objetivo de este artículo es generar un espacio de reflexión para que el tema de la imagen institucional se incluya en la agenda de los directivos.
Expectativas de las familias sobre el uso de computadoras portátiles con fines escolares
Authors: Rodríguez Andrés 
Published: October 2015

<p>Desde el año 2007 asistimos a la llegada de computadoras portátiles para cada niño de las escuelas públicas de la República Oriental del Uruguay. La presencia de estas tecnologías en la escuela ha significado un nuevo modo de relacionamiento entre los diferentes actores de lo educativo. Docentes, familias y niños se han visto implicados de diferentes maneras en la presencia de estas computadoras también denominadas “XO” o “ceibalitas”.</p><p>La presente investigación aborda las expectativas de las familias sobre el uso de las XO con fines escolares, más específicamente qué esperan las madres que se haga con ellas para temas vinculados al quehacer de la escuela. Se indagó acerca de qué esperan las madres que se realice con la XO cuando es empleada con fines escolares por el maestro, el director, los niños y por ellas mismas. Se exploró si existen expectativas comunes, similares o cambiantes y si están relacionadas a las características familiares, a los contextos socioculturales o al nivel de apropiación de tecnologías, así como si coinciden con las que la escuela supone que deben tener.</p><p>Desde un enfoque cualitativo exploratorio y comprensivo, se empleó la entrevista como técnica principal, incluyendo un cuestionario. Se desarrolló una muestra intencional de 8 escuelas públicas de diferentes contextos socioculturales, contactando a 31 madres de niños de 2º año. Se entrevistó a directores escolares para conocer sus opiniones sobre las expectativas de las familias. </p><p>Se constató que estas expectativas varían según grados de definición: sin expectativas o poco definidas, genéricas, definidas. Dichos grados cambian según el foco: hay mayor definición cuando se dirigen hacia los niños o las propias familias que cuando se enfocan hacia maestros y directores. Hay madres que describen usos innovadores de las XO, importando el contexto sociocultural así como el "efecto director" como posibles factores explicativos. Las opiniones de los directores sobre las expectativas de las familias no son claras: presentan certezas e incertidumbres. </p><p>Entre las reflexiones finales se destaca el rol del "efecto-escuela" como generador de oportunidades para que las expectativas de las familias existentes sean confirmadas y se produzcan nuevas en base a desempeños escolares eficaces. Es necesario producir expectativas y no frustraciones. Se proponen líneas de investigación en cuanto a posibles reformulaciones del diseño metodológico, así como focalización en tópicos de algunas madres en cuanto a relaciones entre TIC y cuestiones de género.</p>
La evaluación de los aprendizajes: un análisis sobre las modalidades aplicadas en la formación de profesores del Instituto de Profesores Artigas
Authors: Shablico Diana 
Published: October 2015

El presente trabajo contiene las líneas centrales de una investigación que tuvo como objetivo realizar un estudio sobre las modalidades de evaluación de los aprendizajes en la formación de docentes del Instituto de Profesores Artigas (IPA) en el área de las Ciencias Naturales (Biología, Química y Física).La investigación constituyó un estudio de caso que se desarrolló mediante una metodología mixta cuantitativa y cualitativa de corte descriptivo y explicativo. Se utilizaron dos muestras constituidas por docentes y estudiantes, cuya variedad fue dada por la selección de integrantes de Biología, Química y Física, los diferentes niveles de cursos (1° a 4° año) y las distintas dimensiones del saber (asignaturas pedagógicas y disciplinares). La recolección de datos se llevó a cabo mediante encuestas a los estudiantes, entrevistas semiestructuradas a los docentes y análisis documental. El análisis de las opiniones de los estudiantes constituyó una clara evidencia del predominio de una cultura de la evaluación centrada en la acreditación de los aprendizajes, con énfasis en la medición y la obtención de calificaciones. Por su parte, el análisis de las perspectivas y pensamientos de los docentes formadores habilitó establecer una asociación entre la formación de grado y sus concepciones sobre la evaluación.La valoración integrada de los datos y categorías construidas permitió interpretar que la evaluación de los aprendizajes transita por líneas tradicionales de orientación cuantitativa, en especial en las materias disciplinares. Estos hallazgos permiten sostener la idea de que es necesario continuar investigando sobre los modelos y las prácticas de evaluación de aprendizaje en educación superior, especialmente en el actual contexto de transición hacia una formación docente con carácter universitario.

Published: October 2015

The future of child wholly and solely depends upon parents their mentality, their behavior, their assets etc. A family with sound economy can make their children sound in all walks of life. But unfortunate thing for an orphan is that he/she lacks this valuable guardian i.e, parents. The children lost the parental support while as thousands of families lost their bread earners. How an orphan can survive smoothly in this expensive and cunning world. So far as orphan of Jammu and Kashmir are concerned, they are in constant strain, anxiety, stress due to the situation of armed conflict from last two decades and Kashmir region in particular has been the most affected. The conflict has led to the loss of human resource and caused infrastructural damage to some of the important institutions. Here the orphan number is far beyond than normal as compared to other states of India. In this paper it is an attempt to showcase the condition, challenges and the position of orphans in Kashmir region. It also mentions the role of government in attempting to reduce the number of orphans and in the rehabilitation of conflict affected victims. Int. J. Soc. Sci. Manage. Vol-2, issue-4: 327-332

Abstract
Phase relations in the Zn–V–Sb ternary system have been studied experimentally for the whole composition range for two temperatures, 600°C and 800°C, using scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive spectrometry and X-ray diffraction. The ternary compound VZnSb, mentioned in the literature, still exists at 600°C, but disappears at 800°C. Moreover, the experimental results indicate that eight tri-phase regions could be confirmed in the system at 600°C, and four tri-phase regions exist in the 800°C isothermal section. The maximum solubility of Zn in V3Sb2 and V3Sb is up to 14.3 at.% and 3.6 at.% at 600°C, and 6.2 at.% and 2.7 at.% at 800°C, respectively.
