Designing technical specifications for goyor woven fabric as material for civil servant official uniforms using quality function deployment and conjoint analysis

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Abstract Sragen regency has a traditional woven fabric called goyor woven, whose presence is disappearing. One way to revive its existence is to encourage its use as the material for official uniforms of Sragen civil servants. For this purpose, there is a need to research the most preferable design of the goyor woven fabrics by the civil servants. The aim of this research is to determine the technical specifications of the goyor woven fabric by combining the characteristics of the goyor fabric and the preferences of Sragen civil servants. The method used is integrated QFD with conjoint analysis. QFD is used to translate consumer voices into technical specifications while conjoint analysis is used to find the best combination of the proposed goyor woven fabric design with the technical specifications. The initial result of the research indicates that the technical specifications of the goyor fabric design that is formed are red and blue fabrics with floral and geometric patterns. Based on conjoint analysis the option that best suits the preferences of Sragen civil servants is the combination of blue goyor fabric with geometric pattern.
Selective Decontamination of the Digestive Tract with Aztreonam: A Study of 10 Healthy Volunteers

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Aztreonam, a minimally absorbable monobactam antibiotic that is active primarily against gram-negative bacilli, was given orally to 10 healthy volunteers in three regimens: 60 mg, 300 mg, and 1,500 mg daily for five days. The regimens were administered at least two weeks apart so that the flora could return to normal. Aztreonam had no effect on oropharyngeal flora cultured every other day. Fecal cultures from volunteers receiving the 300-mg regimen yielded no gram-negative bacilli after an average of 4.4 days of treatment. Administration of the highest dose gave similar results, albeit after a shorter interval (3.0 days). None of the regimens appreciably influenced total microscopic (anaerobic) bacterial counts in the feces. However, during administration of the 1,500-mg regimen, fecal counts of enterococci increased from an average of approximately 10(4)/g to greater than 10(7)/g, and fecal counts of yeasts tended to increase by the end of the five-day treatment period. Fecal concentrations of aztreonam increased as the dose increased in eight volunteers. No aztreonam was recovered from the feces of two volunteers, perhaps because of drug inactivation.
NaCl-Induced Atmospheric Corrosion of the MgAl Alloy AM50-The Influence of CO2

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The NaCl-induced atmospheric corrosion of the MgAl alloy AM50 has been investigated using 99.97% Mg as reference. Polished samples were exposed up to 672 h in 95.0% RH air with 400 ppm or 0 ppm CO2 at 22.00°C. Samples were analyzed gravimetrically and by SEM/EDX, XRD and XPS. CO2 inhibited atmospheric corrosion with alloy AM50 corroding 6–7 times faster in the absence of CO2. Brucite and meixnerite (Mg6Al2(OH)18 × 4.5H2O) formed in the absence of CO2. In the presence of CO2 and NaCl three magnesium-hydroxy-carbonates, giorgiosite, hydromagnesite and Mg5(CO3)4(OH)2 × 8H2O formed. The influence of CO2 on the electrochemical corrosion process is discussed.
Epilepsy and pregnancy

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A child born to a woman with epilepsy has an increased risk of malformation,1–4 and this risk is increased further if the mother is taking an antiepileptic drug.5 , 6 In the last issue of the Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin7 we discussed the use of antiepileptic drugs in the general population. Here we discuss their use in women who are pregnant or planning pregnancy.
Charge-Transfer Processes in Dye-Sensitized NiO Solar Cells

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

We fabricated dye-adsorbed NiO solar cells (pDSCs) with six different metal-free organic dyes having various ground-state oxidation potentials. Under monochromatic light irradiation, all dyes showed cathodic current at wavelengths where the dyes absorb, suggesting hole injection occurred from the adsorbed dyes to the valence band of NiO. Absorbed photon-to-current conversion efficiency (APCE) tends to increase with the increase of energy difference (ΔE) between the valence band edge of NiO and the ground state of the dyes. The maximum APCE of 30% was obtained with 0.6 eV of the ΔE. The apparent hole diffusion coefficient in the NiO electrode was nearly independent from light intensity, and the values were estimated to be 4 × 10−8 cm2/s. On the other hand, hole lifetime depends on light intensity, ranging from 3 × 10−2 to 1 × 100 s. Investigation of the anchoring site of the dyes and the results of molecular orbital calculations suggested that electron injection from the dye to the valence band of NiO, occurring just after the hole injection, is the major factor of the relatively low efficiency even with the case of large ΔE.
The unbiasedness of the forward exchange rate: evidence from the 1920s

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The relationship between the spot and forward exchange rates during the 1920s is reexamined for five major currencies with daily data. Johansen's (1988, 1991) methodology is used to test for cointegration between spot and forward exchange rates. The results show that the spot and forward exchange rates are cointegrated with a cointegrating vector of one, providing evidence in support of the unbiasedness of the forward exchange rate and market efficiency. Johansen's method provides stronger evidence in favour of the unbiasedness hypothesis compared to the residual based single equation OLS approach.
Prenatal Exposure to Nitrosatable Drugs, Dietary Intake of Nitrites, and Preterm Birth

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Prenatal exposure to nitrosatable drugs, including secondary or tertiary amines, has been associated with preterm birth. Associations may be accentuated by higher intakes of dietary nitrites because of the increased formation of N-nitroso compounds. Using data from mothers of babies without major birth defects (controls) from the National Birth Defects Prevention Study, we examined the relationship between nitrosatable drug exposure in conjunction with dietary nitrite intake and preterm birth among 496 mothers of preterm infants and 5,398 mothers with full-term deliveries in 1997-2005. A protective association was observed with a high intake of plant nitrites (adjusted hazard ratio (AHR) = 0.72, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.53, 0.97). Secondary amines in conjunction with high nitrite intake were associated with preterm birth during the first (AHR = 1.84, 95% CI: 1.14, 2.98), second (AHR = 1.89, 95% CI: 1.17, 3.07), and third (AHR = 2.00, 95% CI: 1.22, 3.29) trimesters. The adjusted hazard ratios for tertiary amine use in the third trimester by increasing tertiles of nitrite intake were 0.67 (95% CI: 0.35, 1.31), 1.25 (95% CI: 0.71, 2.19), and 2.02 (95% CI: 1.17, 3.49). Prenatal exposure to nitrosatable drugs, particularly secondary and tertiary amines, in conjunction with higher levels of dietary nitrite intake may increase the risk of preterm birth.
Online extrinsic parameter calibration of stereo vision coordinate measurement system

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

To carry out precise measurement of large-scale complex workpieces, accurately calibration of stereo vision coordinate system becomes more and more important. This paper presents a flexible and valid method for calibrating stereo vision coordinate system, which overcomes the complexity and difficulty of traditional calibration methods. By moving the optical reference bar over the measurement volume with known length for three horizontal infrared LEDs and three vertical infrared LEDs as feature points, the relative orientation and position of two cameras can be quickly determined with epipolar constraint of the stereo cameras catching features through linear algorithm and LM iteration method. The scale factor of the translation between two cameras can be calculated by the distance between two extremity feature points of the optical reference bar. By automatically controlling the light intensity and optimizing the exposure time, the feature points can get uniform intensity and obtain higher S/N ratio at different distance, so the calibration accuracy is improved. Experiment result proves that the calibration method proposed is flexible, valid, and can obtain high calibration accuracy and good results in the application.
A RARE CASE OF PROLAPSED OMPHALOMESENTERIC DUCT WITH RUPTURED UMBILICAL HERNIA

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Strangulated ileal intussusceptions into the Meckel’s diverticulum (which is caused by an incomplete obliteration of omphalomesentric duct) and coming out through ruptured umbilical hernia is an extremely rare presentation. A 3- months- old male child presented with low grade fever, refusal to feed and episodes of discomfort often alternating with long period of sleepiness and lethargy. On abdominal examination loops of intestine were seen at the site of ruptured umbilical hernia. The abdomen was opened under general anaesthesia by transverse incision. Proximal ileal intussusception into the Meckel’s diverticulum, which was gangrenous, was noted. A resection with end to end ileo-ileal anastomosis was undertaken. The prolapsed bowel was replaced back and double breasting of umbilical defect was done with vicryl 2-0. The patient was completely asymptomatic and healthy.

An Auto Region of Interest Segmentation Method for Cardiac CT Images Based on the Contradiction Labeling Method

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The whole heart segmentation of medical CT images is of great significance for assisting doctors in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and guiding doctors' surgery. Due to the difficulty of labeling medical heart images and the complexity of samples, accurate segmentation of the entire tissue structure of CT cardiac images is still a challenging topic. This paper proposed an automatic method based on neural network learning to segment the region of interest that is meaningful to the doctor. The new method is based on the contradiction law of one of the basic laws of logic. It trains the neural network by labeling small data sets with certain contradictions, so it is named the contradiction labeling method. The method uses contradiction labeling set training, forcing the neural network to better learn the overall characteristics of the medical image, thereby improving the generalization ability of the model training. The experimental results show that the neural network can be used to automatically generate and generate the foreground part of the medical image (that is, the main area of interest of the doctor) by means of a small amount of low-precision labeling. Since there is no need to require large data sets to be annotated, and the labeling accuracy does not need to be too high, the proposed method also satisfies the requirement of requiring as little time as possible.

Britain's Airship Program: Royal Navy vs. the Royal Air Force after World War I 1919-1930

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In the aftermath of the first aerial bombing raids of London by German zeppelins, the military utility of a dirigible seemed practicable in the 1920s. Like Germany, Britain manufactured numerous rigid and non-rigid airships during the war and by war’s end, operated a significant fleet of seventy-three non-rigid and three rigid airships whose primary function were long patrols to counter the U-boat threat. 1 The British did not view the airship as a strategic bomber as the Germans but Britain’s military planners saw them continuing their naval reconnaissance role as well as serving as a strategic troop transport and communication link for her vast global Empire. The continuation of the British airship program came to highlight the difficulties of country’s dire postwar financial condition and the interservice rivalry between the recently formed Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy in the 1920s. The airship program became a victim to the inability to balance these conflicting needs. Sir Frederick Sykes, Controller-General of the Department of Civil Aviation in a speech before the London Chamber of Commerce just after the armistice in November 1918 stated that the airship had numerous advantages over the airplane and how it could enhance the military and commercial transportation system of the British Empire. 2 During this session, Sykes cited the wartime mission of the German Zeppelin L59. In November 1917, the L59 left from Jamboli, Bulgaria, carrying twelve tons of ammunition to re-supply the German troops fighting in German East Africa. The L59’s commander, Kapitanleutnant Ludwig Bockholt, abandoned the mission when he received a radio message indicating that the troops that he was to assist had already surrendered. Although the mission failed to deliver the supplies, the flight was a significant accomplishment. The zeppelin remained aloft over four days and flew 4,198 miles nonstop. The zeppelin demonstrated its heavy lift capabilities over vast
Collecting Antiquities in the Nineteenth Century

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract In the course of the nineteenth century, pre-Hispanic artifacts became an archaeological category—both plastic enough to adapt to local needs and robust enough to become recognizable and valuable aesthetically, epistemologically, and commercially. Starting from the premise that antiquities do not have intrinsic meanings, but acquire them as they move geographically and conceptually, this chapter draws on an ecological approach to study the connections and follow the trajectories of three collections of a specific case study—Mexican antiquities at the National Museum of Mexico in Mexico City, at the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia, and at the Louvre (whose collection of Mexican antiquities was later incorporated into the Ethnographic Museum at the Trocadéro, in Paris). The chapter compares the ways in which Mexican antiquities were configured by temporally and spatially situated institutional ecologies, with their specific intellectual traditions, disciplinary practices, political agendas, aesthetic sensibilities, technologies of classification and representation, and social and material infrastructures. Ultimately, the chapter reflects on the tangled, often contingent, processes by which the past matters to the present.
The Ontological Difference in Heidegger's Thought: A Solution to the Puzzle of the Relationship between Being, entities, and Dasein in Being and Time

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper examines three seemingly inconsistent passages in Martin Heidegger's Being and Time that pertain to the relationship between Being, entities, and Dasein. The apparent inconsistency arises from Heidegger's assertion that, on the one hand, entities are independent of Dasein, while on the other hand, Being is dependent on Dasein's understanding. This paper aims to resolve this apparent inconsistency by introducing and analyzing the ontological difference between Being and entities, which is a central concept in Heidegger's philosophy. By exploring Heidegger's critiques of traditional realist and idealist approaches and focusing on his analysis of Dasein as “being in the world” and relating to other entities, it is demonstrated that these three passages are entirely compatible within the framework of Heidegger's ontology. Since the mode of existence of Dasein as transcendence serves as the foundation of ontological difference, understanding all modes of being of entities (and not the entities themselves), including independence and dependence, is rooted in Dasein.

Writing to the Defence of Empire: Winston Churchill’s Press Campaign against Constitutional Reform in India, 1929–1935

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

It was while touring North America in the autumn of 1929 that Churchill heard of the Viceroy, Lord Irwin's, declaration that the goal of British policy in India was the granting of self-governing Dominion status within the Empire. Churchill was outraged at what he took to be the hoisting of the white flag of surrender in India. He was not alone. On 1 November, the day after Irwin's announcement, the Daily Mail attacked the Conservative leader, Stanley Baldwin, for his willingness to endorse the initiative without consulting his Cabinet colleagues. In the Commons later that day Baldwin responded to the Mail's allegation, declaring that 'every statement of fact and every implication of fact contained in that article is untrue, and in my opinion gravely injurious to the public interest, not only in this country, but throughout the Empire'.1 But the Mail was not to be deflected and, on 16 November, carried an article by Churchill in which he denounced Irwin's declaration as 'criminally mischievous'. Dominion status could not be accorded to a nation in which 60 million persons were 'untouchables', the political class represented only a tiny fraction of the population, and racial and religious antagonisms meant that 'the withdrawal of British protection would mean the immediate resumption of mediaeval wars'.KeywordsConservative PartyIndian PolicyDaily MailMass CirculationBritish PoliticsThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
