Monitoring and assessment of electromagnetic pollution in Samsun (Turkey)

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

As a result of technological developments and consumers' demands give rise to an increase in the number of base stations day by day. Measuring and evaluating the exposed electromagnetic radiation (EMR) levels have become more substantial for human health especially in city centers where base stations are used densely. Thus, in this study, EMR measurements were conducted in two stages in Samsun city center. First, EMR measurements were performed using PMM 8053 for the appointed locations and time periods. Second, drive test measurements were done for much wider region through SRM-3006. It is concluded from the measurements that the maximum measured total electric field strength (E) in the band between 100 kHz - 3 GHz is 7.32 V/m which is below the limits determined by ICNIRP. A detailed examination of band selective measurements demonstrate that the main EMR sources in Samsun city center are the base stations which use 900MHz, 1800MHz and 2100MHz frequency bands, and 2100MHz has the most contribution to total E with 70%. Furthermore, an empirical model that helps calculating the total E of medium through these three main EMR sources with 99% was proposed.
Evaluation of surface characteristics of direct composite resins after finishing and polishing using fractal analysis

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

Abstract Surface characteristics of two composite resins (Filtek Ultimate Universal Restorative, 3M ESPE and Filtek Ultimate Flowable Restorative, 3M ESPE) after finishing and polishing procedure using three systems: two steps Sof-Lex system, 3M ESPE, multi-steps Super Snap system, Shofu, Inc. Kyoto, Japan and multi-steps OptiDisc system, KerrHawe SA were analyse using SEM and AFM investigations. Fractal analysis was performed on SEM and AFM images and the mean fractal dimension was calculated for each sample using FracLac software. For both tested materials decreased fractal dimension with the increase of SEM magnification was observed. Multi-steps OptiDisc system determined the biggest decrease of fractal dimension for both materials, followed by Sof-Lex system and Super Snap. Fractal analysis seems to be an appropriate method to investigate the complex structure of composite resins.
Fermentation of Colored Quinoa Seeds with Neurospora intermedia to Obtain Oncom‐Type Products of Favorable Nutritional and Bioactive Characteristics

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In this research, colored quinoa seeds were subjected to a modified oncom‐type processing (precooking followed by solid‐state fermentation with Neurospora intermedia ) to obtain convenient food products of improved parameters. Compared with the raw material, the products contained a higher level of protein (on average by 44%, with an advantageous essential amino acid profile) and fiber (by 71%) but a lower amount of inositol phosphates (by 50%, with an increased share of InsP 3 fraction in the profile). Fermented quinoa was enriched in carotenoids (6.5‐fold) and riboflavin (fivefold). The antioxidant potential of oncom was also improved in respect to antiradical activity (on average by 39%) and reducing power. Of the red and black quinoa, the former substrate was processed into a product of better quality, containing a higher level of protein (214 g/kg dry matter [DM]), fiber (234 g/kg DM), carotenoids (81 mg/kg DM), and riboflavin (8 mg/kg DM), as well as antiradical activity (IC 50 in ABTS ⋅+ and DPPH ⋅ assay of 0.4 and 3 mg DM, respectively). This was associated with a 50% higher level of fungal glucosamine in this oncom. Therefore, the activity of N. intermedia can be considered beneficial for biotreatment of quinoa seeds.
Control of a post-combustion CO2 capture plant during process start-up and load variations

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Dynamic and flexible operation of a carbon capture plant is important as thermal power plants must be operated very flexibly to accommodate large shares of intermittent energy sources such as wind and solar energy. To facilitate such operation, dynamic models for simulation, optimization and control system design are crucial. In this paper, we present a dynamic mathematical model for the absorption and desorption columns in a carbon capture plant. Moreover, we implement a decentralized proportional-integral (PI) based control scheme and we evaluate the performance of the control structure for various operational procedures, e.g. start-up, load changes, noise on the flue gas flow rate and composition. Note that the carbon capture plant is based on the solvent storage configuration. To the authors knowledge, this is the first paper addressing the issue of start-up operation and control of carbon capture. The study demonstrates that the implemented control structure keeps the carbon capture process at 90% CO2 removal rate with a deviation up to 8% during load variations. In addition, it reveals that the control structure brings the process to the desired set point in approximately 10 min during process start-up. [All rights reserved Elsevier].
The Effect of Creative Arts Therapy on Stress Level and Blood Pressure of The Elderly With Hypertension

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The elderly are vulnerable to hypertension due to the accumulation of unhealthy lifestyles for a long time and can be exacerbated by the stress due to the inability to adapt to the decline in physical conditions, changes in roles and social relations, economic ability, degenerative diseases and treatment in the long term. Risk factors for hypertension can caused by stress. Stress management can be done with a combination of creative arts therapy that is singing, drawing, and storytelling which has a relaxing effect. This study aims to determine the effect of creative arts therapy on stress levels and blood pressure of the elderly with hypertension in Kesiman Kertalangu Village, East Denpasar City, Bali, Indonesia. This research was a quasy experiment with pre-test and post-test design. Samples used were 63 elderly with hypertension who experience mild and moderate stress using simple random sampling technique divided into three groups of treatment with the amount 21 elderly of each groups. Stres level of of hypertension were evaluated using The Stress Assessment Questionnaire and blood pressure measurement using manometer. The main results of this study indicated that creative art therapy can reduce stress of the elderly significantly with p value 0.000<0.05. An average of blood pressure in creative art therapy has decreased. Wilcoxon test results showed the p value of blood pressure (sistole;diastole) for singing (0.002;0.014), storytelling (0.009;0.008) and drawing (0.016;0.011) <0.05 which means that there is an effect of those therapy on elderly blood pressure. The results of the Ancova analysis showed no difference in blood pressure results after each intervention was given to the elderly (p value 0.244>0.05 for systole dan p value 0.738>0.05 for diastole). That means that each intervention has a similar effect on reducing blood pressure. Creative arts therapy provides a relaxing effect while performing art activities so that feeling calms down and stimulates the healing process. Further research with a larger population needs to be done to increase public awareness of the benefits of creative art therapy to reduce stress and blood pressure in the elderly with hypertension.

[Neuroendocrine tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Part 2: Current therapeutic concepts].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

When diagnosed, the greater proportion of functioning endocrine tumors have already metastasized. As a result, the primary aim of treatment--complete surgical removal of the growth--is possible in only a small number of patients. This gives considerable importance to palliative treatment. Interferons and somatostatin are the substances in the forefront of therapeutic interest today, cytostatic chemotherapy having proved largely ineffective and associated with considerable side effects. A feature common to interferons and somatostatin is the fact that they are much more likely to achieve a subjective improvement in clinical symptoms rather than objective remission. However, this is not disadvantage, since, in view of the slow growth of these tumors, quality of life is determined by controlling endocrine activity and not by debulking tumor mass.
CRITIQUE OF THE ASILOMAR AI PRINCIPLES = AZ ASILOMARI ELVEK KRITIKÁJA

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The intelligent man with consciousness is the pinnacle of the evolution of matter that we know. So far. We know, however, that evolution will not stop. Although with sections and dead ends of varying lengths, it is moving towards the increasing complexity of organizations, so it is probably not the human in today's sense is its end point. The development of artificial intelligences that we are planning, for example, may meet both our intentions and the criteria of evolution, but as a novelty it also holds the possibility of a future without us. The latter, in turn, creates tension between the species-maintainer desires of homo sapiens and the unknown future course of evolution. The Asilomar principles seek to alleviate this tension by limiting the development of artificial intelligences. However, as technological advances lead to an increase in autonomy, this is at most a plan for time-gaining. In addition to the Asilomar program, then, there is a need for a “Second Foundation” that can reconcile the future of man not only with artificial intelligences but also with evolution. If we want to survive, the evolutionary adaptation of homo sapiens could really ease the pressure of technological determinism on us. At the 2017 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence Safety Technology in Asilomar, participants signed an agreement.[1] They were of the opinion that the development of artificial intelligences should be controlled. More specifically, to limit the future development of algorithms in a way that suits for homo sapiens. In doing so, they sought to meet the future challenges posed by autonomous technologies.[2] The question is whether the Asilomar goal is a real possibility or just a formulation of desires? In the following, after a brief introduction to the ability or get know and formability of the future, I examine the truthfulness of the Asilomar program.
Evaluation of Cardiac ACE in Rats with Experimental Model of Metabolic Syndrome Induced by Fructose Intake

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The high consuming of fructose sugar is a concern for public health, since factors such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity, type‐2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome are related to this new food habits. The Renin‐Angiotensin System (RAS), an endocrine system responsible for regulating blood pressure, is widely studied since its components are sensitive to hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia, events that occur in the diet rich in fructose. The aim of the study was to evaluate an important marker of RAS, the angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE), in the heart of animals treated with fructose. Weaned Wistar rats were divided into control group (CG) and fructose group (FG, 10% in drinking water) and treated for 8 weeks. FG showed changes in lipid profile when compared to GC, with increased triglycerides (CG=39±3 vs FG=49±2*) and LDL (CG=48±2 vs FG=50±3*) and decreased HDL (CG=35±2 vs FG=24±1*). FG showed lower glucose tolerance than CG on GTT (CG=113±4 vs FG=169±2*), featuring the experimental model. Mean arterial pressure was increased in FG (CG=110±1 vs FG=125±1*)and quantification of ACE showed a significant increase in CG vs. FG (p<0.05), suggesting the increased activation of the RAS in GF than in GC, concluding that chronic ingestion of fructose may induce harmful and important metabolic changes that can lead to serious diseases, such as hypertension and type 2 diabetes.

Propylthiouracil-induced alveolar haemorrhage associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Propylthiouracil (PTU) is known to cause vasculitis as a rare complication. We report the case of a patient who developed alveolar haemorrhage and haematuria whilst treated with PTU. The serum was positive for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) with myeloperoxidase (MPO) specificity (MPO-ANCA). All symptoms resolved completely after discontinuation of PTU. Alveolar haemorrhage or pulmonary-renal syndrome associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody with myeloperoxidase specificity may be a new complication of propylthiouracil therapy.
Implementation of eHealth in the breast cancer care pathway: A roadmap to guarantee a successful implementation of eHealth at ZGT

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

In order to meet the growing demand for healthcare, while at the same time keeping healthcare accessible, affordable and of high quality, the hospital ZGT is interested in the implementation of supportive consumer eHealth in the breast cancer care pathway. A mixed method study was performed by conducting interviews and questionnaires among seven organizational stakeholders, seven healthcare professionals and 30 breast cancer patients to assess implementation readiness and to define steps that need to be taken to guarantee a successful implementation. It appeared that effort is required for a successful implementation of eHealth in the breast cancer care pathway. When focussing on the implementation readiness, the organizational readiness and HCP readiness require most attention, followed by the patient readiness. Steps recommended to ZGT to increase the chance of a successful implementation are (1) prioritize the different eHealth applications, (2) inform patients and HCPs about eHealth possibilities, (3) identify champions and sceptics, (4) design educational materials, (5) construct a business case, (6) investigate a suitable way of financing and (7) adjust existing breast cancer care pathway according to the new processes.

There has been a continuous annual increase of about 20% on average, in total expenditure on prescription drugs in Albania over the last years. The use of generic drugs in substitution of branded products can offer significant reduction in drug expenditure. Concerns and perceptions of healthcare providers towards generic drug use should be properly addressed by health authorities in their policy-making decisions. This study aims to explore …
Force-Sensorless Fault Tolerant Detection and Switching Control of Tendon-Driven Mechanisms With Redundant Tendons

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Tendons in tendon-driven mechanisms are relatively weak components and sometimes break. This letter proposes a detection method of tendon breakage and a switching control system for tendon-driven mechanisms with redundant tendons. The detection method immediately detects the tendon breakage from the kinematic information of the tendons. The switching control system compensates the control performance by only using the remaining tendons. We experimentally confirm that the virtual tendon stretch in the breakage case is adequately large to detect the breakage from kinematic information. Experiments also confirm that the switching controller improves the tracking performance when a tendon is broken.
Electron transfer in solids. Temperature dependence of dielectric relaxation and conductivity in mixed-valence potassium manganate–permanganate

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The site-transfer conductivity expression σ=ne2a2ν/6 kT has been further tested for K3(MnO4)2 by observations of the d.c. conductivity, σ, and of the electron-transfer frequency, ν, from dielectric relaxometry, over a temperature range, providing good agreement both individually and in activation energies E: ν/ν0= exp [–(6080 K)/T] and σ/σ0= exp [–(5908 K)/T] with ν0= 4.8 × 1012 Hz and σ0= 84.7 Ω–1 cm–1. The Marcus–Hush semi-classical formulation for E as a sum of Ein= 3 k1k2Δr2/(k1+k2) and Eout=¼e2(½r–11+½r–11–r–112)(n–2r–ε–1s) together with summary adoption of ν0=kT/h in the site-transfer expression, gives a complete theoretical formulation for the conductivity as σ=(ne2a2/6h) exp [–(Ein+Eout)/kT] or numerically (204 Ω–1 cm–1)× exp [–(5300 K)/T], acceptably according with experiment. KMnO4 and K2MnO4 have lower conductivities; dielectric relaxometry on KMnO4 does not show the Cole–Cole behaviour which we associate with simple electron transfer in such materials, and K2MnO4 is not amenable to dielectric relaxometry.
Bayesian penalized-likelihood iterative reconstruction of FDG PET/CT for lymph node metastases in head and neck cancer.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

2733 Objectives Bayesian Penalized-Likelihood (BPL) iterative reconstruction, a recently FDA approved reconstruction algorithm for PET/CT, promises to increase sensitivity. This study aims to determine if BPL is beneficial in increasing visualization of malignant lymph nodes in patients with untreated head and neck cancer. Methods This IRB compliant, retrospective study looked at patients with untreated head and neck cancer that underwent PET/CT at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN between August 2014 and January 2015. Patients were imaged on a GE Discovery 710 scanner, and underwent a torso, as well as a dedicated H&N PET/CT scan. Images were reconstructed using three methods: 3D OSEM, Time of Flight (TOF), and BPL. Lymph nodes with visible FDG activity were analyzed. Blood Pool (BP) and liver activity was reviewed. Images were reviewed on an OsiriX 64 bit workstation by a nuclear radiologist. Results 10 patients (6 M, 4 F) were included (median age 61 yrs, BMI 26, blood glucose 84). 79 lymph nodes were analyzed. There was a statistically significant increase in the mean SUVmax of lymph nodes on BPL reconstructed images from those on TOF for both torso (27.5 +/- 31.2%, P Conclusions BPL increases the SUVmax of malignant lymph nodes in head and neck cancer and decreases the SUVmax of the BP, resulting in the accurate detection of more “positive” nodes. On BPL reconstructed torso imaging, nodes have higher SUVmax than on additional TOF reconstructed dedicated H&N imaging. However, the benefits of BPL and dedicated H&N imaging were additive.
The Impacts of Participatory Governance on Cultural Development: Evidence from European Capitals of Culture

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Participatory approaches to cultural decision-making are increasingly supported in the international and European discourses as means to foster cultural development, promoting capacity building, legitimacy, and social capital. However, their beneficial effects are both empirically contradictory and theoretically under-investigated. With the aim of providing an evidence-based account of the function of participatory decision-making in culture, this thesis analyses how, why, and under which circumstances participatory governance impacted on cultural development in four projects promoted in the two European Capitals of Culture of 2013 - Marseille-Provence (France) and Košice (Slovakia) –under the umbrella of the “City and Citizens” criterion. The thesis combines the theoretical assumptions of the “expansive” theories of democracy (Warren, 1992) with the “pragmatic conception” proposed by Fung (2007) and adopts the methodological tools offered by the theory-testing variant of process tracing. Hence, it advances an analytical framework of causal mechanisms able to explain how and why the impacts of participatory governance of culture can change within different contextual conditions. This work defines cultural development as a long-term process that includes cultural production and reception and is sustained by a network of cultural relations. In addition, it conceptualizes participatory governance as a three-dimensional institutional space (including representation, communication, and power delegation) that can trigger developmental dynamics thanks to consensus-oriented face-to-face dialogue among a variety of cultural stakeholders. Referring to the empirical evidence collected in the four case studies, the thesis argues that the impacts of participatory governance on cultural development depend on the intensity of trust that is reached among the actors involved in the process. In presence of fully-fledged trust, as showed in the project PARCeque (Marseille) and in the Exchanger Obrody (Košice), participatory governance can lead to cultural development, activating a reinforcing chain of capacities, legitimacy, and social capital that nurture cultural relations in the long-term. On the contrary, in absence of fully-fledged trust (i.e. mistrust and “calculus-based” trust), as proved by the project Jardins Possibles (Marseille) and the Exchanger Važecká (Košice), participatory governance of culture can exacerbate feelings of manipulation or group dynamics, fostering contestation movements or isolated cultural production.
