Development of the Bereavement and Interpersonal Domains codebook

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

We describe the development of an empirically-derived codebook for qualitative data concerning the impact of grief on the interpersonal relationships of bereaved individuals. Relatives (N = 39) of deceased military service members participated in focus groups concerning how grief influenced their relationships across multiple interpersonal domains, including family, friends, community, and with the deceased. Focus group transcripts were coded using a stepwise process consistent with grounded theory to identify and categorize recurrent themes. The process yielded a comprehensive codebook containing 44 nodes with definitions and examples. The codebook provides researchers with an empirically-grounded analytic tool for future studies on bereavement.
Translocal civil society and grassroots resilience

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Resilience points to the ability of a social entity to cope, adapt, and transform itself so it can rebuild stronger following social and environmental crises. In recent years, resilience has increasingly become a normative ideal in national and global fields of disaster risk reduction. Although there has been growing research interest in the role that civil society plays in the process of resilience, existing discussions have tended to limit civil society practices within national boundaries. Moreover, despite the highly political nature of disaster recovery processes, debates on resilience as a contested idea remain largely underexamined both empirically and conceptually. To address this gap, this chapter applies a translocality perspective to explore how transnational grassroots civil society practice shapes notion of resilience in today's disaster politics. It draws attention to a particular grassroots practice called 'recuperation' that civil society in and out of Japan has initiated in response to the 3.11 disaster, or the threefold disaster of earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear accident in northern Japan on 11 March 2011. While recuperation aims primarily to provide opportunities for families with young children to temporarily spend some time in areas with little or no concern for radiation issues, it is also creating political spaces to question what it means to recover from disaster. Drawing on a case study of a recuperation initiative in Cairns led by a Japan–Australia civil society group, I argue that this practice is shaping a notion of resilience that is grounded in 'care', which contrasts with the neoliberal vision of resilience that has been articulated in state-led disaster reconstruction.
An Evaluation of Effects on Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus Management of a Community-Based Nursing Care Center Using Cost-Benefit Analysis

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the economic efficiency of a community-based nursing care center to help policy makers determine whether or not to invest in similar facilities. Methods: The subjects were 101 elderly people over 65 years who participated in a health management program from February 1 to July 31, 2007. Direct cost was estimated with center operations cost, medical cost for out-patients and pharmacy cost. Indirect cost was measured by transportation cost. Direct benefit was calculated by saved medical cost for out-patients, saved pharmacy cost, saved transportation cost, and reducing hospital charges. Indirect benefit was estimated with prevention of severe complications. Economic efficiency was evaluated by cost-benefit ratio and net benefit. Results: Operating a community-based nursing care center was found to be cost-effective. Specifically, the cost of operating the center evaluated here was estimated at 135 million won while the benefit was estimated at 187 million won. Benefit-cost ratio was 1.38. Conclusion: The Community-based nursing care center that was described here could be a useful health care delivery system for reducing medical expenditures.
Investigating the Correspondence between Native American Pedagogy and Constructivist Based Instruction.

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper reviews studies detailing formal and nonformal instruction of Native American children by Native American teachers and compares attributes common to traditional Native education with principles of the constructivist approach to instruction. Five pedagogic principles are considered: (1) teacher as facilitator, guiding rather than telling; (2) focus on learner-developed understanding; (3) problem-based instruction, with the problems situated in the learner's culture and lived experiences; (4) cooperative rather than competitive instruction; and (5) time-generous rather than time-driven instruction. Culturally responsive pedagogy can only be practiced in culturally sensitive environments where ways of perceiving, believing, acting, and evaluating are shared. The literature review suggests that Native American pedagogy and constructivism share common beliefs and perceptions about teaching and learning. Therefore, constructivist ways of teaching,promise to be culturally responsive to cultures valuing Native American pedagogy. Ways in which constructivism and Native American pedagogy conflict with traditional pedagogic assumptions of the dominant culture are outlined, and possible reasons are offered as to why constructivism was developed among dominant-culture educators.

Study on thermal boundary conductance between diamond and amorphous carbon

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Thermal boundary conductance at the interface of diamond-amorphous carbon has been calculated using non-equilibrium molecular dynamic simulation. In particular, we describe the effect of solid stiffness, which associated with sp 3 hybridization ratio of amorphous carbon, on thermal boundary conductance. The result shows that by increasing the sp 3 hybridization ratio of amorphous carbon, thermal boundary conductance between diamond and amorphous carbon increases.
Detection of blaDIM, blaAIM, blaGIM, blaNDM and blaVIM Genes among Acinetobacter baumannii strains isolated from hospitalized patients in Tehran hospitals, Iran

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Background and Aim: The rising trend of antibiotic resistance among A. baumannii strains has become a global concern. The most common mechanism of resistance is betalactamase production with genes transferring on mobile genetic elements such as plasmids. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of blaNDM, blaGIM, blaAIM, blaDIM and blaVIM type genes among A. baumannii isolates from hospitalized patients in Tehran, Iran. Materials and Methods: from May 2012 to July 2013, 108 A. baumannii strains were isolated from blood, wound, urine, sputum and respiratory tract of hospitalized patients in Loghman hakim and Milad hospitals. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion and broth microdilution methods according the CLSI guidelines. The frequency of MBL (Metallo-Beta-Lactamase) producers was evaluated by CDDT. The β-lactamases genes were detected by PCR method. Results: The resistance of A. baumannii isolates against tested antibiotics were as follows: 103 (95.4%) to ceftazidime, 108 (100%) to cefotaxime, 105 (95.7%) to cefepime, 99 (91.7%) to imipenem, 99 (91.7%) to meropenem, 87 (80.6%) to amikacin, 105 (97.2%) to piperacillin, 100 (92.6%) to ciprofloxacin, 103 (95.4%) to piperacillin/tazobactam, 44 (40.7%) to gentamicin, 106 (98.1%) to ampicillin/sulbactam, 106 (98.1%) to co-trimoxazole, 87 (80.6%) to tetracycline, and 1 (1.8%) to colistin. Using combined disk diffusion test, 86 (86.86%) were MBL producers. The prevalence of blaVIM-1 gene was 15 (17.44%) and other genes were not detected. Conclusions: The prevalence of MBLs-producing A. baumannii strains detected in this study is a major concern and highlights the need for infection control measures such as antibiotic management protocols and rapid identification of resistant strains.
Reproducibility of Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis at Different Replication Levels

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Reliability of two-dimensional electrophoresis differential display experiments depends on the reproducibility of the separations. The contribution of biological and technical variation to the overall variance of the two-dimensional patterns was estimated based on the factors found to influence spot volume variance. The second dimension and the staining were responsible for most of the spot volume variance, while using pooled samples lowered biological variation to the level of technical variation.
<title>Two iterative methods for quantitative reconstruction of complex permittivity in microwave tomography</title>

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Two different iterative methods for the reconstruction the quantitative distribution of the complex permittivity in an inhomogeneous body, for application in active microwave tomography, are presented. The first method is based on simulated annealing, and the second one consists of successive perturbations of a linearized system.
The mechanics of brittle fracture

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The study of brittle fracture of steel structures is hampered by the lack of a clear definition. A cleavage appearance does not preclude prior plastic deformation, nor is it completely free of shear. The lack of ductility is a doubtful criterion, because even the most brittle service failures show appreciable plastic deformation at the point of initiation. Finally the local stress magnitude at the point of initiation is always high and cannot serve as a distinguishing criterion. The problem of brittle failure becomes clearer only when the interdependence of local and overall behavior of the structure as a whole is considered. The notions of plastic deformation and limit analysis of structures have proved invaluable in this respect.
Birth and spirituality

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Spirituality and healthcare are predominantly focused on end of life care, the central concern of this essay is spirituality at the start of life. Although there is emergent literature gesturing toward spirituality and healthcare (Puchalski et al. 2014, de Souza, Bone, and Watson 2016), there remains a paucity of literature that solely focuses on spirituality at the beginning of life and reproduction (Crowther and Hall 2015, Crowther, Smythe, and Spence 2015, Clark-Callister and Khalaf 2010, Hall 2001, 2016). A systematic review of the literature using a hermeneutic (interpretive) lens found that what literature there is focused on spiritual 'care' – the act of doing, whilst the lived-experience of spirituality at birth was often left as a cliché after thought, for example, 'it was so joyful when the baby arrived' and 'it is such a lovely special moment' (Crowther, Smythe and Spence 2014a). Yet, despite this paucity of published evidence, birth is fundamentally experiential and involves and concerns us all: parents, those planning to be parents, people that do not have or plan to have children and health care professionals involved in maternity (e.g. medical staff, midwives and other allied health care professionals).
[Psychosocial consequences of organized violence. Experiences from Latin America].

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The health consequences of organized violence are well documented (increasing from many parts of the world). We review experiences reported from Latin-America based on literature, contact with human rights organizations and participation in conferences in (Santiago de) Chile and Costa Rica, with special focus on: the destructive psychosocial influence of a repressive society; the development of torture methods; the development of therapeutic methods; the serious psychological implications of "impunity". In Central America joint strategies have been developed for preventive and therapeutic work connected to the effects of war-traumas and terror. Psychiatrists and psychologists from Western countries involved in treatment of refugees in exile can mutually benefit from the experiences of colleagues who have death with the problems in countries where prosecution and oppression have taken place. Within this framework professionals are challenged to take a firm stand against human right violations.

Comparison of placental α microglobulin-1 protein assay (Amnisure) with speculum examination for the diagnosis of premature preterm rupture of membranes (PPROM): a clinical evaluation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In this study, we aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of Premature Preterm Rupture of Membranes (PPROM) cases diagnosed by classical speculum examination and by placental alpha microglobulin-1 protein (PAMG-1) assay. The medical records of all patients with singleton pregnancies that were diagnosed with PPROM were retrospectively reviewed. Singleton pregnancies with PPROM diagnosis that was confirmed either by direct visualisation of amniotic fluid leaking through the cervix or by placental alpha microglobulin-1 protein (PAMG-1) assay if no amniotic fluid leakage was documented were included in the study. Demographics, prenatal and postnatal characteristics were reviewed from the medical charts and were recorded. The study included 138 pregnancies with PPROM; 111 patients in clinical speculum examination group and 27 in PAMG-1 assay group. There were no significant differences in maternal and pregnancy characteristics between the clinical speculum examination and PAMG-1 assay groups. Foetal outcomes were comparable between clinical speculum examination and PAMG-1 assay groups. In the clinical speculum examination group, there were nine (8.1%) chorioamnionitis cases, however, there were no chorioamnionitis cases in the PAMG-1 assay group during the latency period (p = .21).Impact statementWhat is already known on this subject? Placental alpha microglobulin-1 protein assay uses immunochromatography method to detect trace amount of placental alpha microglobulin-1 protein in vaginal fluids and has high sensitivity and specificity for ROM diagnosis. However, to the best of our knowledge, the clinical outcome of ROM cases detected by classical speculum examination and by placental alpha microglobulin-1 protein assay has not been compared in the literature previously.What do the results of this study add? Although statistically insignificant, cases diagnosed by PAMG-1 assay had lower risk of chorioamnionitis during latency period.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Whether cases diagnosed by PAMG-1 assay represent a milder form of rupture of membranes than cases diagnosed by classical speculum examination group warrants further research.
Afro-European partnership for counterterrorism and counterinsurgency in Africa

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter examines the partnership and other efforts of the European Union (EU) in countering terrorism and insurgency in Africa. It discusses terrorism and insurgency and identifies the driving force behind its spread. The 21st century has witnessed the proliferation of Islamic terrorism across the world. The terrorist organisations such as the Islamic State in Syria (ISIS), Al-Qaeda, Al-Shabaab, Boko-Haram and other emerging Islamic fundamentalists across the globe are a threat to world peace and security. Terrorism as a concept is overly complicated because individuals or groups conventionally perceived as terrorists did not see themselves as such. Terrorism and insurgency can hardly be separated from one another because they both represent violent struggles; however, the central area of departure is that the insurgent groups are usually open to dialogue and are not faceless like the terrorist groups. The EU contributed tremendously to countering terrorism and insurgency effort in Africa.
Greenspace and urban greening benefits for health and well-being across the life-course

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The chapter explores a novel life-course approach to identify and assesses the main physical, psychological and social benefits of green spaces and to propose planning and design interventions to enhance ecosystem benefits for well-being across urban and rural spaces. It applies ideas to develop a "policy implementation framework" for enhancing health and well-being benefits for all socio-demographic cohorts based upon green space integrity. The chapter subsequently sets out a framework for the development of evidence-informed policy and cohort-specific design interventions to maximise health benefits from green space.

This is followed by food for thought and a summarized presentation of the German as well as international societies of SE (GfSE and INCOSE) regarding the challenges that will shape Systems Engineering in the coming years or even decades. Finally, it outlines the needs accordingly in research and development of the interdisciplinary and standardized GSE approach.
Plasmonic Sensor Utilizing Oxide and Antemonene Heterojunction for Glucose Sensing

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this work, a plasmonic biosensor based on tin oxide (SnO2) and antimonene is proposed for performance enhancement. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based sensor structure consists of five layers centered on Kretschmann configuration. The sensor operation is theoretically demonstrated at visible spectral wavelength of 633 nm for glucose concentration sensing in water. Further, effect of multiple antimonene layer on sensitivity and detection accuracy is also demonstrated.
The Pollen Exine Ornamentation of Epimedium and Its Taxonomic Significance

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Forty-four pollen speciemens from thirty-four species and subspecies or varieties of the genus Epimedium (Berberidaceae) were examined by means of election microscope. The result revealed that the exine ornamentation evoled from irregularly-arranged stiate with small tips to foveolate, foveolate-reticulate, and to reticulate or striato-reticulate type, along with the reticulate tectum from having small tips on it to psilate. Its taxonomic significance among them is discussed.
Motion effect modeling in multipath configuration using warping based lagDoppler filtering

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The estimation of the impulse response (IR) of a propagation channel is necessary for a large number of acoustic applications: underwater communication, detection and localization, etc. Basically, it informs us about the distortions of a transmitted signal in one channel. This operation is usually subject to additional distortions due to the motion of the transmitter-channel-receiver configuration. This paper points on the effects of the motion while estimating the IR by matching filtering between the transmitted and the received signals and introduces a new motion compensation method. Knowing the transmitted signal, the “apparent ” speed of each propagation path can be estimated using wideband ambiguity function [1]. Indeed, some interference appears in the wideband ambiguity plane because of the multipath propagation. A warpingbased lag-Doppler filtering method is proposed allowing us to accurately estimate the IR of the channel.
Utilização de dejetos e resíduos de origem animal como alternativa na adubação de feijão irrigado

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

This study aimed to evaluate different types of organic fertilizers on the development and productivity of the cultivar hummingbird bean in the Municipality of Andradina-SP. The work was conducted in the experimental area of ETEC “Augusta Sebastiana de Moraes”, located in the Municipality of Andradina, in the year 2012. The experimental design was a randomized block with four repetitions, using a bean cultivar (hummingbird) and six treatments (witness, cattle manure, pig manure, chicken manure, filter cake and organic fertilizer with silicon). It is concluded that the cultivar hummingbird presented higher productivity with the application of organic fertilizer obtained from slaughterhouse waste and combination with silicon.
Optimal Control of Grinding System.

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this report, an optimal control of the closed circuit grinding system in a cement process is discussed. Generally, it is known that there is an optimum circulating load at which the efficiency of comminution is maximum. However, as control variables, the amount of electricity consumption of a bucket elevator is used instead of the circulating load for measuring reasons in this experiment. As the control system, a combination control system of fuzzy control and LQI control is constructed. The inside situation of a mill is inferred by fuzzy reasoning and the reference value of the sound level of the mill is determined on the basis of reasoning results. Then the supply of clinker to the mill is adjusted by LQI control such that the mill sound level follows to reference level. As a result, it is found that the proposed control system is very applicable and good control performance is obtained.
