Healing identity by telling childbirth stories on the internet
Authors: MacLellan Jennifer 
Published: July 2015

Background: The use of the internet in pregnancy and parenthood is high, providing both practical information and support. Sharing stories and experiences among site users is a principal motivation for use and can offer a safe space to try out the new identity of mother. Methods: Using a narrative analysis approach, 15 consecutively posted self-classified ‘trauma’ birth stories were analysed from the UK parenting site Netmums. The aim was to investigate the purpose of sharing traumatic stories with the anonymous users of the site. Results: A ‘protest event’ was found in each narrative, changing the power dynamic of the story and allowing the narrator to regain agency in an apparently out-of control situation. Three excerpts are presented to illustrate the common themes of healing identity, maintaining control and restoring coherence. Discussion: These three themes link to the meta-theme of performing control in the absence of an expected context of care, giving three practice points for reflection: management of antenatal birth expectations through joint birth planning with the midwife; offering postnatal debriefing in unusual or complicated birth experiences could support the healing of the woman's identity; awareness of sensitivity among birthing women to the power dynamic in the birthing room and their potential interpretation of institutional policies and practices.
Pregnant women's reactions to routine CO monitoring in the antenatal clinic
Authors: O'Connell Maeve , Duaso Maria J 
Published: July 2015

Guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE, 2010) recommend the use of routine carbon monoxide (CO) monitoring in all pregnant women. However, there is no research describing pregnant women's experiences of being offered the CO test at booking. Method: This was part of a phenomenological study conducted to examine midwives’ experience of using CO monitoring for smoking cessation in pregnancy. Individual semi-structured interviews were carried out and recorded with 10 midwives who use CO monitoring at booking. They were asked about women's reactions to the test. Data were analysed using Colaizzi's (1978) approach and bracketing. Results: Midwives reported that women were generally happy to accept the test. However, pregnant women appeared to be uninformed about it. Other reactions described include curiosity, shock, relief, guilt and surprise at the results. Conclusion: Overall, women's reactions were positive but an increased public awareness of the test would smooth its implementation.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of conversion (DC) of seven experimental resin cements formulated with different photoinitiators when activated by two light-curing units (LCUs) through ceramic material. Material and Methods: Seven resin blends with different camphorquinone (CQ) and/or phenyl propanedione (PPD) rates were prepared: C5: 0.5% wt CQ; C8: 0.8% wt CQ; P5: 0.5% wt PPD; P8: 0.8% wt PPD; C1P4: 0.1% wt CQ and 0.4% wt PPD; C4P1: 0.4% wt CQ and 0.1% wt PPD; and C4P4: 0.4% wt CQ and 0.4% wt PPD. Each mixture was loaded with 65% wt of silanized filler particles. For photoactivation procedures, two LCUs were used: a quartz-tungsten-halogen (QTH) and a light emitting diode (LED). Results: Irradiance (mW/cm²) was calculated by the ratio of the output power by the area of the tip. DC was assessed by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy. Data were submitted to a two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test (5%). DC values do not show significant differences for LCUs regardless of the photoinitiator type. The highest DC was found for experimental cement P8 and the lowest for C5. Conclusion: Intermediate DC values were found for the other cements. However, when QTH was used, P8 exhibited differences among C1P4, C4P1 and C5; whereas when LED was employed, P8 differed only for C4P1 and C5. Thus, PPD is a viable alternative for the manufacture of photoactivated cements, and the PPD/CQ association may also be viable since C4P4 was similar to P8.
Toward a Practical, Civic Piety: Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, and the Race for National Priest
Authors: Crosby Richard Benjamin 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
In 2008, two of the leading presidential candidates emerged from controversial, outsider religious groups—Mormonism and the black church tradition. Dogged by ongoing questions from the media, each candidate produced a high-profile public address. In this article, I argue that Mitt Romney’s “Faith in America” and Barack Obama’s “A More Perfect Union” craft competing visions for American civic piety. Drawing on recent literature in the area of practical piety, I read the speeches as evidence that civic piety may be more than a subordinating, pragmatic agreement between church and state. It may instead be read as a spiritually substantive space of cultural identity formation. I further conclude that the 2008 election reveals a contested piety in the midst of transition, and that this transition points in a relatively well-defined direction for American civil-religious culture.

Introduction: Extra-Pulmonary Tuberculosis (EPTB) gained attention for study its local disease epidemiology for disease control.Objective: To study the distribution and determinants of EPTB in randomly selected tuberculosis units (TUs) of Himachal Pradesh. Methodology: Multistage random sampling was used; four districts were selected randomly from total 12 districts of state and then one TU was selected from each selected district. In addition, two medical colleges were also included as a referral point for EPTB cases. Â Results: Total 463 EPTB cases were studied during one-year study period; pleural (41.9%) and Lymph Node (31.3%) was frequently observed involved sites. Among male's pleural effusion (48.2%) was commonly involved site followed by lymph node (23.5%), whereas, lymph node was involved in 40.6% followed by pleural effusion in 34.4% females. Other common sites for EPTB were abdomen (6.0%), bone (5.6%), meninges (5.2%) and pericardium (3.9%) and for both males and females. Mean duration of diagnosis since appearance of symptoms was 40 days; only 10.0% of patients received antibiotics for the average of two weeks before formulating EPTB diagnosis. About 35.0% patients underwent FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) to establish diagnosis.Conclusion: Invasive diagnostic facilities at peripheral health institutions will help further to better understand EPTB epidemiology.
The Use of Formal Knowledge Representation in Operating on Resources Concerning Cast Iron Processing
Authors: Kluska-Nawarecka S. , Wilk-Kołodziejczyk D. , Rojek G. , Regulski K. , Polek G. 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
The problem of materials selection in terms of their mechanical properties during the design of new products is a key issue of design. The complexity of this process is mainly due to a multitude of variants in the previously produced materials and the possibility of their further processing improving the properties. In everyday practice, the problem is solved basing on expert or designer knowledge. The paper is the proposition of a solution using computer-aided analysis of material experimental data, which may be acquired from external data sources. In both cases, taking into account the rapid growth of data, additional tools become increasingly important, mainly those which offer support for adding, viewing, and simple comparison of different experiments. In this paper, the use of formal knowledge representation in the form of an ontology is proposed as a bridge between physical repositories of data in the form of files and user queries, which are usually formulated in natural language. The number and the sophisticated internal structure of attributes or parameters that could be the criteria of the search for the user are an important issue in the traditional data search tools. Ontology, as a formal representation of knowledge, enables taking into account the known relationships between concepts in the field of cast iron, materials used and processing techniques. This allows the user to receive support by searching the results of experiments that relate to a specific material or processing treatment. Automatic presentation of the results which relate to similar materials or similar processing treatments is also possible, which should make the conducted analysis of the selection of materials or processing treatments more comprehensive by including a wider range of possible solutions.

Contribution to Deoxidation of Austenitic Steels in a Vacuum Induction Furnace with Carbon
Authors: Šenberger J. , Pernica V. 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
Deoxidation of steel with carbon under reduced pressure is often used for increasing the steel purity. Suitable units for this purpose in foundries are vacuum induction furnaces. Possibilities of increasing the steel purity by deoxidation with carbon in the vacuum induction furnace were studied for the steel for the petrochemistry of specific composition 25Cr/35Ni. The charge composed of the return material only was melted in the air. During melting the charge oxidized and the oxidizing slag formed. Chemical composition of steel, morphology, chemical composition of inclusions in the steel and chemical composition of slag after vacuuming were studied on the basis of samples taken before and after vacuuming. Temperature and oxygen activity were measured before and after vacuuming. Globular inclusions with dominant content of silicon and manganese were observed in steel before and after vacuuming. Contents of total oxygen in steel didn’t change significantly during vacuuming. On the basis of composition of inclusions and measured oxygen activity the activity of Cr2O3 in inclusions was calculated. A slag sample was taken after vacuuming and equilibrium oxygen activity in steel with regard to the Cr2O3 content in the slag was estimated from the slag composition. Equilibrium oxygen activity in relation to the Cr2O3 content in the slag was higher than equilibrium activity measured in the steel. For this reason it is not possible, under the studied conditions, to decrease oxygen content in steel during vacuuming.

Authors: Kinoshita Hiroo , Watanabe Takeo , Harada Tetsuo 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
Thirty years have passed since the first report on extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) was presented at the annual meeting of the Japanese Society of Applied Physics in 1986. This technology is now in the manufacturing development stage. The high-volume manufacturing of dynamic-random-access-memory (DRAM) chips with a line width of 15 nm is expected in 2016. However, there are critical development issues that remain: generating a stand-alone EUV source with a higher power and producing a mask inspection tool for obtaining zero-defect masks. The Center for EUVL at the University of Hyogo was established in 2010. At present, it utilizes various types of equipment, such as an EUV mask defect inspection tool, an interference-lithography system, a device for measuring the thickness of carbon contamination film deposited by resist outgassing, and reflectivity measurement systems.
Oenothera Albipercurva – Evening-Primrose Species New To The Flora Of Lithuania
Authors: Woźniak-Chodacka Monika 
Published: July 2015

Abstract

Oenothera albipercurva Hudziok was reported for the first time in the Lithuanian flora. It is tenth Oenothera species noted in Lithuania. It was found in the association Cladonio-Pinetum nearby Merkinė town in the southern part of the country in 2005. According to the early stage of development (June), fully-flowering plants were very sparse. Oenothera albipercurva is of hybridogenous origin (O. biennis L. × O. ammophila Focke), discovered and reported by Renner in 1937 from Germany, currently distributed in Central and Eastern Europe. It resembles O. ammophila by its narrow leaves and divergent sepal tips, but can be easily distinguished mainly by its clearly larger flowers (petal length 15–26 mm instead of 12–18 mm) and red papillae on the underside of leaves. Some examples of significant mistakes found in the descriptions of this species in literature and main diagnostic characters are given.
Review Of Drosera Intermedia Herbarium Specimens And New Data On Its Distribution And Ecology In Lithuania
Authors: Sprainaitytė Sigita 
Published: July 2015

Abstract

Drosera intermedia Hayne is one of four species of the genus Drosera in Lithuania. It has the status of an endangered species, however, relatively little is known about its abundance, population size and habitat preference. Seven localities of the species have been indicated in Lithuania till now. Evidence of herbaria is known from four localities. Revision of herbarium specimens revealed the fact that only one sample consisting of six plants was proved to be Drosera intermedia. It was collected in Kamanos raised bog. Distribution of D. intermedia based on recent findings includes two localities in the northern and the eastern parts of Lithuania.
Detailed investigations of D. intermedia habitat preference and population size were pursued in the Kamanos State Strict Nature Reserve (Akmenė distr.) in 2013–2014 in five sample plots situated in the Rhynchosporion albae W.Koch 1926 community. The highest density of D. intermedia plants was recorded on bare peat in the mosaic microhabitats of Rhynchospora alba (L.) Vahl and Sphagnum spp. Microhabitats with Sphagnum cuspidatum Ehrh. ex Hoffm. were more favourable than that of Sphagnum magellanicum. There were counted 376 (2013) and 322 (2014) individuals in three sample plots. Next year, 83 plants were appended in two additional plots. Vegetative individuals were more abundant in less favourable areas, while up to 30% of the flowering plants were registered in the depressions of bare peat and Rhynchospora alba mosaic.

Determination of the Super-Elliptic Shape of Tire-Soil Contact Area Using Image Processing Method
Authors: Teimourlou R. Farrokhi , Taghavifar H. 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
The present study is aimed at determination of the super-elliptic shape of tire-soil contact area using image processing method. Contact area has a substantial role on determination of soil compaction and tractive parameters of agricultural tractors. A very well-known model in this realm is to describe the contact area with superellipse geometry. A soil bin testing facility equipped with a single-wheel tester was utilized to conduct the needed experiments. The experiments were carried out at three levels of wheel load, three levels of tire inflation pressure with three replicates in a completely randomized block design. Corresponding images were taken for each of the experiments and the images were processed accordingly. The contact length and width were determined using imdistline command in MATLAB commercial software. This experiment was conducted at three levels of wheel load (2, 3, and 4 kN), and three levels of tire inflation pressure (100, 200, and 300 kPa) with three replications. The aforementioned parameters were applied consequently in the superellipse model and the contact area was computed. The obtained results disclosed that increase of wheel load increases the contact area. Contradictory, increment of tire inflation pressure reduces the formed contact area. Additionally, the potential of contact area determination with the proposed model was compared with that of actual values, which denoted coefficient of determination equal to 0.96, which shows the promising ability of the proposed model and the appropriateness of describing contact area with superellipse geometry

AbstractWater stress, which limits the distribution and productivity of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) in the Mediterranean region, is also considered to be a major factor reducing yield in semiarid regions. Improving drought resistance is thus an important objective in plant breeding programs for rainfed agriculture. The current study was carried out to identify drought-tolerant durum wheat lines among 10 lines and one variety (Douma1, the control) in the first and second settlement zones in the Southern part of Syria and to recognize the most important physiological parameters associated with drought tolerance. Membrane stability index, chlorophyll (chl) content, relative water content and chl fluorescence were recorded at the vegetative and anthesis stages, as were yield and yield components. Data recorded at vegetative and anthesis stages in both zones showed that there were significant differences between all lines growing in the first and second settlement zones and that all characters in the second zone were significantly lower than those in the first zone. Line 1 was superior to Douma1 in terms of membrane stability index, relative water content, chl content and chl florescence, also showing better yield and higher total plant biomass, tiller number/m2, 1000 grain weight and grain number/ear than the control. The ability of wheat cultivars to perform reasonably well in variable rainfall and water-stressed environments is an important trait since it allows for stable production under drought stress. Moreover, prior to genetic manipulation, it is important to characterize the physiological parameters of known drought-tolerant or drought-sensitive wheat cultivars with the objective of better understanding their physiological responses under drought

Published: July 2015

Abstract
The experiments were conducted in a citrus orchard to check the efficacy of insecticides against citrus psylla, and mortality was observed after three days, seven days and then after one month. Four insecticides, Polytrin-C, Talstar, Bifenthrin and Imidacloprid applied, had an almost equal effect on the population reduction of citrus psylla on all citrus plants. The trial was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) having five treatments with three replications in a citrus orchard, after three days of spray showed percentage control as 96.91%, 94.33%, 93.83% and 93.06% of following insecticides Polytrin- C, Imidacloprid, Bifenthrin and Actara, respectively, calculated by Minitab 15. Psylla adults were exposed to different concentrations (500, 400, 300, 200 and 100 ppm) of Imidacloprid and Bifenthrin, and two controlled conditions (with leaves and without leaves). Both Imidacloprid and Bifenthrin insecticides proved to be the most effective against D. citri with lethal times (LT50s) of 4 and 5 hours, respectively, at a concentration of 500 ppm, calculated from probability test with Minitab-15
