Abstract Audiobooks offer increased accessibility and new ways of engaging with scholarly texts. Although the development of academic audiobooks is in a relatively early stage, one significant issue that is yet to receive appropriate attention is the presentation of referenced materials in audio form. Presently, this is approached on a case-by-case basis with no centralized industry standards, and so protocols are either set by individual publishers or negotiated between rights-holders and narrators. Narrators usually adopt one of four options for dealing with notes or other referencing tools: complete omission; addition of audio effects to differentiate the reading of references from the primary narrative; reading the reference notes at the end of a chapter or the book; or including with the audiobook files an optional PDF download with reference details. These options give consideration to aesthetic issues, but it is uncertain whether they do justice to questions of academic integrity. The purpose of this article is to encourage scholarly dialogue and a conversation between the audio publishing industry and academia on this issue, and to begin working towards a ‘best practice’ framework that satisfies questions of both aesthetic experience and academic integrity.

Objective Proper use of citation and quotation is crucial to the integrity of the medical literature. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of quotation and citation errors in otolaryngology–head and neck surgery (OHNS) journals and how they have changed over time. Study Design Literature review. Methods Fifty references were randomly selected from the first published issue of 2017 for 8 leading OHNS journals. These were analyzed for errors in citation (data elements by which the article is referenced) and quotation (factual inaccuracies of the reference). Citation errors were categorized as major, intermediate, or minor. Quotation errors were categorized as major or minor. Results were compared with data from 1997 articles. Results Citation errors occurred in 17% of all references studied, with 34% classified as major. Quotation errors occurred in 9%, with 69% classified as major. There was no association between journal impact factor and total number of errors ( r = −0.33, P = .42). This compares with a 37% citation error rate (32% major) and 17% quotation error rate (65% major) from 1997. Conclusion Citation and quotation errors are still prevalent in the OHNS literature albeit decreased from previously reported data. Improvement in citation errors may be due to technological improvements in reference management. However, it is the continued responsibility of the authors, reviewers, and editors to further reduce error rates to maintain the integrity of our publications.

Full textAbstract:
Focusing on the global integrity monitoring performance of the BDS-3, the integrity failure model and effect analysis (IFMEA) of the system space segment and the ground control segment were carried out, and the system integrity risk tree model was established according to the IFMEA results. To evaluate the system’s integrity risk probability more reasonably, this paper establishes an abnormal event prediction model with a Bayesian method, based on actual operation data, under a situation in which the BDS-3 just opened service. With statistical analysis results of system anomalies since 27 December 2018—which is the date the BDS-3 began providing basic service—according to the anomaly prediction model, the system’s integrity risk probability under the 95% confidence limit was calculated to be approximately 0.9e-7/h, meeting the design index requirements of 1e-7/h. The analysis results also show that the main risk factors affecting the integrity of BDS-3 are ‘pseudorange measurement anomaly’ and ‘miss-detection of satellite autonomous integrity monitoring’. The results are important references with practical engineering significance for improving the integrity performance of BDS-3.

Abstract The article describes conceptual aspects related to the artistic tendencies in preschool education.The realization of this process is presented by operating with the concepts of the famous occidental, Russian and local scientists. One of the ideas characteristic to the scientists’ pedagogical thinking is that in the process of formation/development of the child through arts, the child is submitting the objects and phenomena to his/her previously acquired assimilation schemes. To insure integrity in the practical way of the early education, the methodology we are proposingis based on a research, a significant theoretical network ofsuccessful pedagogical practicesof word known scientists. The analyzed theories are a source of inspiration and constitute the theoretical universe which contributes to as-truthful-as-possible preschool educationof the child.Early education is the most important period in one’s life through the sustainable consequences it has on his/her ultimate development.

Full textAbstract:
The necessity of integral education, accepted as a leading idea for all pedagogical interactions, is an important challenge for modern preschool education. This challenge is not new both for preschool education and pedagogy which have their deepest origins in the idea of integrity and realise it in different forms and scopes. An integral character of preschool education, based on its main assumptions, implies similar references to preschool pedagogy, as reflected in the entire activity of kindergartens. Education contents assumes that, besides coming to knowledge on the world and developing their intellectual skills, children also work on their physical abilities and health-oriented attitudes, learn some prosocial behaviours with reference to family, community and bigger social groups, they are acquainted with the world of aesthetic values and shape their emotional and moral competences. Thus, integration of education contents is based on the rule of variability, care for proper relations of the contents and their selection from different educational fields. However, an analysis of the issues related to the modern human integrity proves that we often forget about a very important dimension – the spiritual one – in the fields of preschool pedagogy and education. The presented article is an effort to make practical references to modern preschool education in the aspect of stimulation of children’s spiritual development as the part of their life space which allows them to realise their own humanity.

Laser driving technology is an important technology in high energy physics, shock wave physics and explosive initiation application. In this paper, velocities and impact stresses of four types of laser-driven flyers (Al, Al/Al2O3/Al, CuO/Al2O3/Al, (CuO/Al)/Al2O3/Al) prepared via magnetron sputtering were obtained by photonic Doppler velocimetry (PDV) and a self-made polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) stress sensor at ns-class pulse width.The results showed that velocities and integrity of flyers were influenced by their diameters. Compared with Al single-layer flyer, other multi-layer flyers with Al2O3 insulation layer owned lower velocity but better integrity and initiation properties.CuO/Al as the ablation layer enhanced the velocities and shock initiation properties of multi-layer flyers. Velocity of a flyer improved with the increasing laser energy while shock initiation property did not perform in the same way. These results provide some references for the design of multi-layer flyers applied to laserdriven initiation technology.

Abstract In the tourism industry, the sales of local specialties is an important part, and the package design and integrity of the specialties are very important. This paper first introduced the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm that was used for detecting defects on the surface of paper packages. Then, the design of red wind packages was briefly described, and the simulation experiment was carried out on SVM algorithm using red wine packages with different degrees of surface defects. Proper parameters were tested using the k-fold cross-validation method. The results demonstrated that the properties of paper improved the value of packages and the SVM algorithm had better accuracy than artificial recognition in recognizing different degrees of defects on the surface of packages. In conclusion, this paper describes the application of paper in packages and provides an effective method for the defection of defects on the surface of packages. This study provides an effective references to the improvement of package values and the enhancement of package integrity.

The article is focused mainly on aesthetic-philosophical constants of the work of art of Julius Zeyer. The author of the article tries to point out that Zeyer´s conception of art is tightly connected with artistic conceptions of the rising literary symbolistic generation: His aesthetic-philosophical system contains strong protest against rationalism, realism and naturalism in contemporary literature and underlines the way to subconscious roots of human existence; it turns away from rational understanding of the world and the mystical intuition of inner and organic life in modern literature. In the article the motifs of temple building and motifs of creating the organic picture of the world in Zeyer´s work of art are analysed. The article also contains main references to Zeyer´s work of art published by reputable names of the Czech and European literary criticism.

Full textAbstract:
Oilwell cementing is part of completing a well prior to production. As a casing is installed after a section of the well is drilled, cement is pumped downhole. Reservoir fluid such as oil which may encroach into the wellbore due to naturally fractured or unconsolidated formation would mix with the cement pumped downhole. Recent studies have shown that the presence of oil affect cement quality to an extent where the cement compressive strength is greatly reduced. Early detection of possible oil contamination into cement may prevent well integrity problem. With intense application of acoustic principle into wellbore, however, not many references available to detect the presence of oil in cement system using this principle. This study investigates whether acoustic waves can detect oil in cement. Class G cement is mixed with both water and brine where crude oil is then added to the mixture. The resulting slurry were cured using High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) curing chamber at 120°C and 4,000 psi for 24 hours and is then cored into 1-inch cylinder. SonicViewer-SX is used to propagate acoustic waves through the core sample where the transit time is recorded and analyzed. It is found that oil can be detected in cement using acoustic waves since oil-filled samples have slower P-waves and S-waves velocities than cement-filled samples. The case is also proven when water is replaced by brine as the mixing fluid which oil-filled samples have lower P-waves and S-waves velocities to that of cement-filled samples.

"Corporate social responsibility" (CSR) is often related with environmental issues, and is referred to as "green CSR." It's an idea that's gaining traction throughout the world. It is regarded as one of the most efficient measures in the business domain by hierarchies in the business domain. It's worth noting that the researchers used a secondary qualitative strategy to obtain data in this situation. It enables academics to quickly access vast amounts of data. Using peer-reviewed publications, the researchers were able to maintain the article's integrity in this circumstance. In this study, the result of the research has been displayed through the means of thematic analysis. The themes were made out of the most common observations made from the analysis of the secondary data and proper references have been put to support the observations made by the researcher. The outcome reveals that Vietnam is dealing with its own set of issues. Vietnam has huge challenges as a result of its linear economy. As a result, the government is working tirelessly to enact new environmental legislation in order to alter the economic curve. The government must integrate with both domestic and international commercial entities.

Food ingredients are often made by extruding flours and starches derived from cereal grains with proteins. Extrusion is carried out at high temperature, high shear and low water conditions to make low density, foamed pellets that are used as food ingredients. The structure of the crisp matrix varies greatly with the ingredient proportion and is important in forming the organoleptic properties of the crisps. However, it is very difficult to analyse the structure of the matrix with respect to the distribution of the major components, and the authors have been unable to find references for these materials. Furthermore, the materials must be stained without wetting as water will destroy the integrity of the crisps.

This study focuses on the appropriation of Biblical doom saying to the city of Rome in Targum Jonathan. After discussing the phenomenon of anti-Roman utterances within Jewish exegesis, we will examine seven Targum verses that mention Rome. The appearance, modifications and disappearance of references to Rome are shown in Medieval manuscripts representing Targum Jonathan’s various textual branches and in early modern printed editions of the Rabbinic Bibles and the Polyglot Bibles. When transmitting such anti-Roman Targum verses, Christian Hebraists faced tension, as will be demonstrated, between loyalty to the Church’s capital city and academic integrity, which demanded compliance with the Aramaic consonantal text. We will therefore also show their, at times, creative solutions.

Abstract Semen quality assessment methods are very important in predicting the fertilizing ability of persevered spermatozoa and to improve animal reproductive technology. This review discusses some of the current laboratory methods used for semen quality assessments, with references to their relevance in the evaluation of male fertility and semen preservation technologies. Semen quality assessment methods include sperm motility evaluations, analyzed with the computer-assisted semen analysis (CASA) system, and plasma membrane integrity evaluations using fluorescent stains, such as Hoechst 33258 (H33258), SYBR-14, propidium iodide (PI), ethidium homodimer (EthD) and 6-carboxyfluorescein diacetate (CFDA), and biochemical tests, such as the measurement of malondialdehyde (MDA) level. This review addresses the significance of specific fluorochromes and ATP measurements for the evaluation of the sperm mitochondrial status. Laboratory methods used for the evaluation of chromatin status, DNA integrity, and apoptotic changes in spermatozoa have been discussed. Special emphasis has been focused on the application of proteomic techniques, such as two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis and liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), for the identification of the properties and functions of seminal plasma proteins in order to define their role in the fertilization-related processes.

Shtefan O. The role of the principle of integrity in copyright protection.The article is devoted to the disclosure of the essence of the principle of good faith as the quintessence of all principles of law, universal principle, which applies both in procedural and material law.
Directly in the article, the principle of good faith is revealed through the prism of the analysis of controversial legal relations arising in copyright relations.The application of the principle of fair use of works is aimed at establishing a balance between the interests of authors of works and the interests of society regarding their use, while sometimes it is used to expand the monopoly of copyright.Analysis of the legislation and case law of Canada, Australia and other countries allows us to define the principle of «fair dealing» as a way to protect («affirmative defense ») from copyright infringement and restrictions, rather than as a statutory right to use someone else’s work. Otherwise, the defendant would be burdened with proving that: 1) the use corresponds to one of those listed in Art. 29 goals (for example, research, criticism or news); 2) the use was «fair» and 3) there were references to the original source.According to the results of the study in the scientific article it was concluded that the existence in the Anglo-Saxon legal family of two conceptually different in the application of doctrines of fair use «fair use» and «fair dealing» and understanding the free use of works in Ukraine, as in other countries in continental Europe, closer to the doctrine of «fair dealing», which implies a statutory list of actions that are classified as fair use, than to the doctrine of «fair use», which operates in the United States. Although it is possible to trace some similarities between the understanding of free use in the Civil Code of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine «On Copyright and Related Rights» and the doctrine of «fair dealing» (given the statutory list of restrictions on copyright), it is necessary to take into account case law and, accordingly, a more «free» interpretationof the applicable law when the courts decide whether the use is a violation of exclusive rights or is an activity within the framework of free (fair) use.
Keywords: copyright, illegal use of copyright objects, the principle of justice, thedoctrine of «fair use», the doctrine of «fair dealing».

Implementation of research-based, Tier 1 behavior management strategies can be monitored to provide data-driven feedback and in support of integrity. The Measure of Active Supervision and Interaction (MASI) was developed to measure four behavior management practices (i.e., Praise, Correction, References to Behavior Expectations, Active Supervision) using systematic direct observation. This study was designed to address research questions related to reliability and validity by applying the MASI to evaluate staff behavior in seven out-of-school time programs. Findings indicate that two raters can complete the MASI with high agreement. Ratings are attributable largely to desirable sources of variance, and content validators positively rate the measure. Results are nonsignificantly correlated with established implementation measures for Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports.

Full textAbstract:
Appropriate cycle-slip and measurement-error models are essential for BeiDou carrier-phase-based integrity risk calculation. To establish the receiver’s measurement-error model, an accurate position reference of the GNSS antenna is fundamental for calculating the measurement error. However, it is still a challenge to acquire position references for dynamic BeiDou receivers, resulting in improper GNSS measurement-error models and unreliable integrity monitoring. This paper proposes an improved precise relative positioning scheme by adopting multi-antenna trajectory constraints for dynamic BeiDou receivers. The dynamic experiments show an obvious decline of 78.7%, at most, in the positioning failure rate of the proposed method, as compared with the traditional method. The position solutions obtained from the proposed approach are used as the reference to analyze the cycle-slip and measurement-error characteristics of the dynamic receiver. The field test results indicate that the cycle-slip rate decreases with the increase of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and cycle slipping obeys a positively skewed distribution that could be fitted by the Gaussian mixture model (GMM). On the other hand, the standard deviation of the carrier-phase measurement error is inversely proportional to SNR, and its distribution is characteristically fat-tailed, which could be fitted by the bi-normal model.

Full textAbstract:
A high quality of samples is crucial for the success of the analysis and diagnostic purposes, and therefore the right method of conservation is vitally important for an optimal preservation of tissues. Indeed, the time to deliver the sample to the laboratory could be remarkably long, especially under suboptimal conditions, and the use of specific fixatives or cold storage may not be possible. Moreover, the portability and cost of storage equipment, their toxicity, and their ease of use play a central role when choosing the correct preservation method. The aim of this study was the identification of a reliable and economic method for tissue preservation, to be used in “in-field” sampling, suitable for both histological and molecular analysis. Punch biopsies were collected from six cattle livers. Comparisons among methods of preservation using RNAlater, silica beads, and under-vacuum was carried out. These methods were tested through considering different times and temperatures, assuming three days as a maximum time interval from sampling to laboratory and choosing 4 °C and 24 °C as references for refrigeration temperature and room temperature, respectively. Histologically, the integrity of nucleus, cytoplasm, preservation of liver structure, and easiness of recognition of inflammatory infiltrate were evaluated. The integrity of the extracted DNA and RNA was evaluated through PCR and by means of an automated electrophoresis station, respectively. RNAlater and silica beads poorly preserved the histological parameters evaluated, independently from the temperature. Conversely, the vacuum-sealed samples showed a good grade of preservation until 48 h. DNA quality was acceptable for each sample. RNA integrity showed promising results only for samples preserved with silica beads.

Objective:To review the literature addressing the care of neonatal skin.Data Sources:Computerized searches in MEDLINE and CINAHL, as well as references cited in articles reviewed. Key concepts in the searches included neonatal skin differences; neonatal skin and care practices for skin integrity; neonatal skin and toxicity; permeability; and contact irritant sensitization.Study Selection:Articles and comprehensive works relevant to key concepts and published after 1963, with an emphasis on new findings from 1993 to 1999. One hundred two citations were identified as useful to this review.Data Extraction:Data were extracted and organized under the following headings: anatomy and physiology of the skin; physiologic and anatomic differences in neonatal skin; nutritional deficiencies; skin care practices; and care of skin breakdown.Data Synthesis:Newborns’ skin is at risk for disruption of normal barrier function because of trauma. In light of available evidence about differences in neonatal skin development, clinical practice guidelines are suggested for baths, lubrication, antimicrobial skin disinfection, and adhesive removal. In addition, basic care practices are suggested for maintaining skin integrity, reducing exposure to potentially toxic substances, and promoting skin health beyond the neonatal period. Preventive care recommendations are made for reducing trauma, protecting the skin’s immature barrier function, and promoting skin integrity.Conclusions:This review generated evidence with which to create a new and comprehensive practice guideline for clinicians. Evaluation of the guideline is under way at 58 U.S. sites.

A typhoon is a tropical cyclone in the western Pacific Ocean and the China seas. Typhoons are some of the most destructive natural disasters on Earth. In China, typhoons have had major impacts on the stability and structural integrity of offshore wind turbines in the complex and harsh marine environment. In this research, first, the main causes of wind turbine damage were analyzed based on the characteristics of a typhoon and a wind turbine structure for typical typhoon-induced accidents. Second, the research progress of the anti-typhoon design of offshore wind turbines and the anti-typhoon strategy of wind farms operation and maintenance was summarized. Finally, the problems to be further solved in these research fields were presented to provide references for the development of offshore wind turbines, in particular, floating wind turbines in typhoon-prone areas.

The precise measurement and feature information extraction of the biological macroscopic body shapes and surface micro-morphologies is an important precondition to obtain configuration resources directly in research of functionality biomimetics. The sharks with low-resistance body shape and scarfskin were selected as the typical example of creatures simultaneously with functional body shape and surface micro-morphology. Taking a frozen Carcharhinus brachyurous body and a piece of pretreated scarfskin as the biological samples, the measurement and reconstruction of its macroscopic body shape and surface micro-morphology were conducted respectively. The experimental results indicate that the measuring and reconstructing methods adopted can efficiently ensure the facticity and integrity of the measurement results, which contributes to the structure digitalization and feature information extraction of the biological prototypes. The study demonstrated in this paper may provide method references on information collection and data processing for design of bionic functional devices and interfaces.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract While the writing and presentation of most general consent forms can be accomplished using a checklist of what to include and say, different nuances and considerations enter the process when the participants of a research study involve present or past clients who retain their legal rights. This process is even more challenging for student music therapists conducting research as part of a school-related project. While the Belmont Report1 and the American Music Therapy Association’s (AMTA) Code of Ethics (https://www.musictherapy.org/about/ethics/) provide some insights and direction for many ethical research decisions, music therapy researchers also must be aware of their values, morals, and integrity, as well as various ethical considerations. Based on an example scenario, six ethical questions related to writing and presenting a consent form for a past client are discussed along with references to the Belmont Report and AMTA’s Code of Ethics.

Geographical referencing of data and resources on the Web has become prevalent. Discovering and linking this information poses eminent research challenges to the geospatial semantic web, with regards to the representation and manipulation of information on geographic places. Towards addressing these challenges, this work explores the potential of the current semantic web languages and tools. In particular, an integrated logical framework of rules and ontologies, using current W3C standards, is assessed for modeling geospatial ontologies of place and for encoding both symbolic and geometric references to place locations. Spatial reasoning is incorporated in the framework to facilitate the deduction of implicit spatial relations and for expressing spatial integrity constraints. The logical framework is extended with geo-computation engines that offer more effective manipulation of geometric information. Example data sets mined from web resources are used to demonstrate and evaluate the framework, offering insights to its potentials and limitations.

The purpose of this article is to offer early career violence scholars guidance on critical aspects of qualitative research, including methodological integrity and research procedures. Throughout this article, we center our discussion on issues of methodological fit, flexibility, safety, and ethics. We overview paradigmatic frameworks that guide methodological decisions and discuss reasons why researchers might choose to use qualitative methods. We then address decisions around recruitment, sampling, and saturation as well as predata collection preparations for conducting interview-based studies. Participant and research team safety and ethics are emphasized, as these issues should be at the core of all decisions in interpersonal violence research. Along with examples from the field of interpersonal violence, we provide references to relevant resources on paradigmatic frameworks, specific qualitative research approaches, and safety and ethics. Throughout, we draw from our lessons learned as qualitative researchers, teachers, and mentors who study intimate partner violence and young adult children exposed to marital violence.

Full textAbstract:
This research is focused on understanding the ethical implications of conflicting expectations faced by leaders in the media industries. Though the “blended leadership” approach proposed by Collinson and Collinson discusses the existence of these conflicting expectations, we argue that work remains to be done on how this impacts leaders’ authenticity and accountability. Can leaders who respond to these varied demands still consider themselves authentic and accountable to a broad range of stakeholders? As our analysis of data gathered through an empirical study in Europe and the USA shows, the pursuit of profit does not always sit comfortably with the insistence on journalistic integrity, and decisiveness does not always foster openness toward experimentation. We explore the literature on authentic leadership to argue that its references to relational transparency make it difficult to deal with the “blended” nature of leadership reality. In response, we propose that relational accountability could be a more appropriate way to remain authentic despite conflicting demands.

Retraction is the withdrawal of published article after it is found that the authors did not ensure integrity in conducting and reporting their research activities. The bibliometric information of 4716 document categorised as retractions in Science Citation Index, Web of Science was downloaded and analysed to understand trend, pattern and reasons of retraction. The results showed that retractions had increased during the ten-year period, 2008-2017. The main reasons for retractions were plagiarism, falsified data, manipulation of images and figures. It was also found that just 40 out of 4716 retraction notices had explicitly stated reasons for retracting the published articles. The open access journals had more number of retractions as compared to subscription based journals. The study will guide library professionals and research scholars towards a better comprehension of the reasons behind retractions in science discipline in the ten-year period. They would be better equipped to steer clear of inauthentic publications in their citations and references.

Full textAbstract:
Study Design: Systematic review. Objectives: The optoelectronic camera source and data interpolation process serve as the foundation for navigational integrity in robotic-assisted surgical platforms. The current systematic review serves to provide a basis for the numerical disparity observed when comparing the intrinsic accuracy of optoelectronic cameras versus accuracy in the laboratory setting and clinical operative environments. Methods: Review of the PubMed and Cochrane Library research databases was performed. The exhaustive literature compilation obtained was then vetted to reduce redundancies and categorized into topics of intrinsic accuracy, registration accuracy, musculoskeletal kinematic platforms, and clinical operative platforms. Results: A total of 465 references were vetted and 137 comprise the basis for the current analysis. Regardless of application, the common denominators affecting overall optoelectronic accuracy are intrinsic accuracy, registration accuracy, and application accuracy. Intrinsic accuracy equaled or was less than 0.1 mm translation and 0.1 degrees rotation per fiducial. Controlled laboratory platforms reported 0.1 to 0.5 mm translation and 0.1 to 1.0 degrees rotation per array. Accuracy in robotic-assisted spinal surgery reported 1.5 to 6.0 mm translation and 1.5 to 5.0 degrees rotation when comparing planned to final implant position. Conclusions: Navigational integrity and maintenance of fidelity of optoelectronic data is the cornerstone of robotic-assisted spinal surgery. Transitioning from controlled laboratory to clinical operative environments requires an increased number of steps in the optoelectronic kinematic chain and error potential. Diligence in planning, fiducial positioning, system registration and intra-operative workflow have the potential to improve accuracy and decrease disparity between planned and final implant position.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: Recent studies focused on rotational instability and remained positive pivot test in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Clinical, radiological and biomechanical studies showed the importance of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) integrity. ALL is one of the stabilization structures against the internal rotation of the tibia under forces which was associated with Segond fracture previously. Even some authors claimed that ACL failure and risk of re-rupture increased if only ACL reconstruction performed in patients with simultaneous ALL injury. The aim of the study is to evaluate the importance of ALL on knee biomechanics during anterior drawer test and internal rotation forces with different flexion angles in terms of reaction forces on ACL and the amount of tibia displacement via finite element analysis. Methods: Three dimensional (3D) solid model of knee joint and ALL injured models were constructed based on DICOM formatted computed tomography (CT) images. 0°, 15°,30°,45°,60°,75° and 90° flexion angles were applied respectively to reference models. Then varied anterior drawer and internal rotational forces were used to investigate the effect of ALL. ANSYS ®Version 17 was used in analyses and same boundary conditions were used in all models. Results: In critical analyzing the all results; medial displacement and the amount of anterior drawer distance were increased in all ALL injured models when compared with references. Therewithal the rotational displacements were increased by increasing the knee flexion angle and rotational torque. But, it was not a significant change in the amount of displacement between the models with respect to anteroposterior displacement when the anterior drawer force was increased. Conclusion: ALL particular has an important role in the stability of the internal rotation occurs against the force and with increased contribution rate to the knee joint stability by increasing the knee flexion angle. But the reaction forces were not affected by ALL integrity. So this study do not support the previous studies which suggest simultaneously reconstruction of both ligaments to avoid re rupture of ACL in cases with ALL injured.

Urban development often requires the construction of deep excavations. There are some difficulties during design and construction of foundation excavation, such as large engineering quantity, poor geological conditions, as well as challenges to design and construction of retaining and protecting structure. To solve these difficulties, supporting system of steel circle beam, steel pipe support and stiffened support compounding with steel pipe pile cofferdam is designed. Soil resistance calculating method is used for support structure design in all possible conditions and the result is compared with that using the classical method. With reasonable supporting process and construction measures, monitoring results including displacement of steel pipe piles and greatest axial force can meet the norm requirements. It is proved that the retaining and protecting system designed is safe and reliable. With the benefit of small deformation and high integrity, locking steel pipe piles gave full play to its locking function of water. The design method in the paper is feasible and may offer some references for similar deep foundation excavation.

Full textAbstract:
This article will provide a short survey of some recent advances in the mathematical modelling of materials behavior under creep conditions. The mechanical behavior of anisotropic solids requires a suitable mathematical modelling. The properties of tensor functions with several argument tensors constitute a rational basis for a consistent mathematical modelling of complex material behavior. This article presents certain principles, methods, and recent successful applications of tensor functions in creep mechanics. The rules for specifying irreducible sets of tensor invariants and tensor generators for material tensors of rank two and four are also discussed. Furthermore, it is very important that the scalar coefficients in constitutive and evolutional equations are determined as functions of the integrity basis and experimental data. It is explained in detail that these coefficients can be determined by using tensorial interpolation methods. Some examples for practical use are discussed. Finally, we have carried out our own experiments to examine the validity of the mathematical modelling. Furthermore, an overview of some important experimental investigations in creep mechanics of other scientists has been provided. There are 243 references cited in this review article.

Full textAbstract:
A solid rocket motor is one of the critical components of solid missiles, and its life and reliability mostly depend on the mechanical behavior of a composite solid propellant (CSP). Effective mechanical properties are critical material constants to analyze the structural integrity of propellant grain. They are estimated by a numerical method that combines the Voronoi cell finite element method (VCFEM) and the homogenization method in the present paper. The correctness of this combined method has been validated by comparing with a standard finite element method and conventional theoretical models. The effective modulus and the effective Poisson’s ratio of a CSP varying with volume fraction and component material properties are estimated. The result indicates that the variations of the volume fraction of inclusions and the properties of the matrix have obvious influences on the effective mechanical properties of a CSP. The microscopic numerical analysis method proposed in this paper can also be used to provide references for the design and the analysis of other large volume fraction composite materials.

This paper extends its field of research to renovation of ordinary existing housing, the greatest characteristic of which is little personality and few styles. Distinguishing from landmark building, renovation of ordinary existing building fabric calls for highly specific approaches in planning, construction, and implementation. We, the architects develop renovation ideas and principles applied to ordinary existing housing offering our view of advocating stage renovation and knowing the real demand of the end user. Based on this view, we have chosen one typical action to discuss the efficient strategy and tactics, that cover the key areas of revitalizing community space with a focus on territoriality and sharing, improving housing function and aesthetic transformation which mainly address the integrity of facade remodeling and function upgrade, two-scale design and detail show, and adopting appropriate technology with particular emphasis on economic cost and user comfort conditions. The exploration on strategy and tactics in common renovation of ordinary existing housing aims to present references and experiences to urban residential sustainable development from both the theoretical and practical fields.

Full textAbstract:
The paper aims to improve the terminology used in dependability-related state standards. Examples are given of the use of the terms “estimate” and “definition” in the “Risk management” and “Dependability in technics” series of state standards. The meanings of those terms were clarified based on the existing regulatory documents. Requirements for the integrity of the used terms were defined. Wordings were proposed for the term definitions that feature the words “estimate” and “definition”. Aim. To examine and discuss the common, but not sufficiently substantiated terms “estimate” and “definition” used in state standards, i.e., to consider the legitimacy of their application as part of the above series of state standards. Proposals as to the improvement of such terms’ application were also set forth. Methods. Examples are given of the use of the terms “estimate” and “definition” in state standards. Based on the existing state standards, the actual meanings of the considered terms were clarified: “definition” refers to the way a term is defined, while “estimate” and “estimation” are closely associated with mathematical statistics. The requirements for the integrity of the used terminology are defined and come down to it being unambiguous, consistent within itself and across the relevant state standards. In this context, the shortcomings of the examined terms are shown that are associated with the above requirements, i.e., the meaning, content, essence and key features of such terms are clearly defined. Any comments or references to other regulatory documents are missing as well. Results. In most standards, in the “Terms and definitions” section, the concept of “definition” is used correctly, i.e., terms are defined. However, in other cases, the concept of “definition” is used in a different sense, as nothing is actually being defined. Based on the term integrity requirements and in light of the above shortcomings, proposed replacements for the terms in question were defined. In most cases, instead of the terms “estimate” and “definition”, it is proposed to use the terms “calculation” and “computation”, as well as their cognates, “calculate”, “compute”. It should be noted that along the state standards, theseterms are used in technical documentation, science papers, monographs and textbooks. Conclusions. The use of the examined terms in some standards lacks integrity. The requirements of the standardization recommendations are not observed, the terms are not unambiguous and consistent with other standards. Based on these requirements, the paper proposes improved ways of using the terms “estimate” and “definition”. The suggested terms should be considered as a tentative proposal. Final definitions and/or replacements of these terms are to be developed through extensive discussion and compromise.

Abstract Objective We address the challenges of transitioning from one electronic health record (EHR) to another—a near ubiquitous phenomenon in health care. We offer mitigating strategies to reduce unintended consequences, maximize patient safety, and enhance health care delivery. Methods We searched PubMed and other sources to identify articles describing EHR-to-EHR transitions. We combined these references with the authors' extensive experience to construct a conceptual schema and to offer recommendations to facilitate transitions. Results Our PubMed query retrieved 1,351 citations: 43 were relevant for full paper review and 18 met the inclusion criterion of focus on EHR-to-EHR transitions. An additional PubMed search yielded 1,014 citations, for which we reviewed 74 full papers and included 5. We supplemented with additional citations for a total of 70 cited. We distinguished 10 domains in the literature that overlap yet present unique and salient opportunities for successful transitions and for problem mitigation. Discussion There is scant literature concerning EHR-to-EHR transitions. Identified challenges include financial burdens, personnel resources, patient safety threats from limited access to legacy records, data integrity during migration, cybersecurity, and semantic interoperability. Transition teams must overcome inadequate human infrastructure, technical challenges, security gaps, unrealistic providers' expectations, workflow changes, and insufficient training and support—all factors affecting potential clinician burnout. Conclusion EHR transitions are remarkably expensive, laborious, personnel devouring, and time consuming. The paucity of references in comparison to the topic's salience reinforces the necessity for this type of review and analysis. Prudent planning may streamline EHR transitions and reduce expenses. Mitigating strategies, such as preservation of legacy data, managing expectations, and hiring short-term specialty consultants can overcome some of the greatest hurdles. A new medical subject headings (MeSH) term for EHR transitions would facilitate further research on this topic.

The purpose of this review was to analyze and summarize the available literature data on changes of oral tissues in menopausal/postmenopausal women. We searched for the relevant references in Pubmed database using appropriate key words. We had revealed about 3,500 references on these topics and analyzed the most relevant. Postmenopausal women have an increased risk of the decrease of bone mineral density due to estrogen deficiency. Estrogens induce osteoclast apoptosis and intensity of this protective mechanism decreases after the cessation of menstruation. Most cross-sectional radiographic studies have confirmed an association between age-related osteoporosis and decreased alveolar bone height. It has been established that postmenopausal women with generalized chronic periodontitis are characterized by severe destruction of the periodontium, which progresses in parallel to a decrease in bone mineral density. Sex hormones maintaining bone integrity and strength, involved in regulating the proliferation, differentiation, and growth of keratinocytes and fibroblasts of the gums. The effect of low estrogen levels on keratinization of the gum epithelium and decreased salivation can lead to menopausal gingivostomatitis. Estrogen deficiency also adversely affects the microenvironment of gingival sulcus, including the composition and circulation of crevicular fluid. Postmenopausal women have lower salivary pH and lower salivation, which is associated with deterioration of periodontal tissues. In addition, the postmenopausal period is characterized by the changes in the microbial composition of the oral cavity, IgG decreases in the crevicular fluid and prooxidant changes of saliva. Conclusions. The oral cavity status in menopausal and postmenopausal women undergoes significant changes: a decrease in bone mineral density, dryness of mucous membranes, microbiome changes, and activation of oxidative and immune processes. These changes necessitate regular examinations, timely treatment and application of all measures of preventive dentistry. There is also a need for randomized clinical trials and create standardized guidelines for the management of postmenopausal patients with periodontal disease.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract To develop reliable high-speed packages, characterization of the underfill material used in the flip-chip process has become of greater importance. The underfill, typically an epoxy resin-based material, offers thermal and structural benefits for the integrated circuit (IC) on package. With so many inputs and outputs (IOs) in close proximity to one another, the integrated circuits on package can have unexpected signal and power integrity issues. Furthermore, chip packages can support signals only up to the frequency where noise coupling (e.g., crosstalk, switching noise, etc.) leads to the malfunctioning of the system. Vertical interconnects, such as vias and solder bumps, are major sources of noise coupling. Inserting ground references between every signal net is not practical. For the solder bumps, the noise coupling depends on the permittivity of the underfill material. Therefore, characterizing the permittivity of the underfill material helps in predicting signal and power integrity issues. Such liquid or semi-viscous materials are commonly characterized from a simple fringe capacitance model of an open-ended coaxial probe immersed in the material. The open-ended coaxial method, however, is not as accurate as resonator-based methods. There is a need for a methodology to accurately extract the permittivity of liquid or semi-viscous materials at high frequencies. The proposed method uses solid walled cavity resonators, where the resonator is filled with the underfill material and cured. Dielectric characterization is a complex process, where the physical characteristics of the cavities must be known or accurately measured. This includes the conductivity of the conductors, roughness of the conductors, the dimensions of the cavity, and the port pin locations. This paper discusses some of the challenges that are encountered when characterizing dielectrics with cavity resonators. This characterization methodology can also be used to characterize other materials of interest.

Abstract The integrity of the reactor coolant system is severely challenged as a result of an Emergency Power Mode – ATWS event. The purpose of this paper is to simulate the Anticipated Transient without Scram (ATWS) using the full scope simulator of Angra 2 Nuclear Power Plant with the Emergency Power Case as a precursor event. The results are discussed and will be used to examine the integrity of the reactor coolant system. In addition, the results were compared with the data presented in Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR – Angra 2) in order to guarantee the validation of the methodology and from there analyze other precursor events of ATWS which presented only plausibility studies in FSAR – Angra 2. In this way, the aim is to provide and develop the knowledge and skill necessaries for control room operating personnel to ensure safe and reliable plant operation and stimulate information in the nuclear area through the academic training of new engineers. In the presented paper the most severe scenario is analyzed in which the Reactor Coolant System reaches its highest level of coolant pressure. This scenario is initiated by the turbine trip jointly with the loss of electric power systems (Emergency Power Mode). In addition, the failure of the reactor shutdown system occurs, i.e., control rods fail to drop into the reactor core. The reactor power is safely reduced through the inherent reactivity feedback of the moderator and fuel, together with an automatic boron injection. Several operational variables were analyzed and their profiles over time are shown in order to provide data and benchmarking references. At the end of the event, it was noted that Reactor shutdown is assured, as is the maintenance of subcriticality. Residual heat removal is ensured.

Abstract. On the basis of the analysis of scientific publications on environmental issues and issues of ecology in Western China, I show in this contribution how scientific expertise can be analyzed as an order of arguments and its social embeddedness be discussed. Using the example of environmental science in Western China, an order of knowledge is reconstructed by coding techniques and the axiomatic structure of this order is micro-analytically disclosed using argumentation analysis. Subsequently, this order is discussed in relation to the social context within which it evolved. Normative representations of subjectivities, practices and spatial arrangements are produced with references to an ideal of harmony in the analyzed publications. Against the background of the contested social relations in Western China, it becomes clear that these representations are involved with a cultural recomposition and contribute to stabilizing state control and national integrity in the region and reproducing unequal social relations. The analysis shows how allegedly neutral academic knowledge implicitly (re)produces social orders and thus stresses that there can be no scientific expertise that does not take a normative position. Lastly, this raises questions on why, how and with which effects we engage in research and produce scientific knowledge.

Heterosexist ideology underpins education policy and practice almost universally. It has the effect of rendering invisible and disrespecting practitioners and students of other sexual and non-gender conforming identities. Much explicitly queer work has challenged this normalising and frequently oppressive higher education terrain. To maximise this queer potential this article proposes re-positioning queer within and through a practice and pedagogy of feminism. The broad-based identity politics of feminism and the anti-identitarian politic of queer may appear a slightly improbable alliance. The article argues, however, that intersectional approaches which reinforce queer integrity, challenge oppressive social norms and simultaneously re-emphasise the importance of the political through an identity politics heavily influenced by feminism, are not just possible but necessary. In seeking to explore what unites feminism and queer educationally, the article makes three observations relating to history, pedagogy and activism. It references two particular LGTBQ Irish and European educational programmes, which it argues highlight this sense of the probable in terms of queer–feminist educational alliances. Such alliances can continue to challenge in material ways sustained educational constructions of heterosexuality as normal, natural and moral and in so doing provide a platform for empowerment and change.
