Prematurely Born Infants

The knowledge and medical technology have developed a number of principles which constitute a basic standard of evaluation and improvement. A newborn is assessed according to the Virginia Apgar scaler. A care of the newborn child is very important too. The care of the infant, especially a newborn, is based on several principles. Physiotherapists use standardized tests and scales of development for the assessment of psychomotor functioning . Proper analysis of the quality patterns of posture and movement is a direct basis for further determination of the targets in the treatment of a child.

AbstractIn this article, the authors examine how the potential success of head/body transplantation raises questions as to how halakha—Jewish law and jurisprudence—might draw the line between determining whether a person is dead or alive. In presenting the primary Talmudic passages that refer to determination of life and death, and their discussion among halakhists and halakhic decisors, the authors show how the halakha might determine the demarcation between life and death as it applies to head/body transplants or potentially other innovations in medical technology.

Based on users’ kansei image and kansei engineering theory, a method on product bionics form design is presented. Firstly, users’ kansei information about product and bionics objects is extracted from semantic differential method, which is the basic standard for determination of the best bionics object. Then by adopting clustering analysis and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, the product form features and bionics objects’ main features are acquired and combined to design products. Finally, the optimal design is selected through comprehensive evaluation. As an example, case of intelligent electric rice cooker design indecates that this method is valid and practical.

Computational modelling of the crack growth in brittle and quasi-brittle materials used in mechanical, civil, etc. engineering applies the cohesive zone model with various traction separation laws; determination of micro-mechanical parameters comes then from static tests, microscopic observation and numerical calibration. Although most authors refer to ill-possedness and need of artificial regularization in inverse problems (identification of material parameters), some difficulties originate even in nonlinear formulations of direct and sensitivity problems. This paper demonstrates the possibility of proper analysis of the existence of a weak solution and of the convergence of a corresponding numerical algorithm for such model problem, avoiding non-physical assumptions.

Proper Analysis

Optimal design of experiments as well as proper analysis of data are dependent on knowledge of the experimental error. A detailed analysis of the error structure of kinetic data obtained with acetylcholinesterase showed conclusively that the classical assumptions of constant absolute or constant relative error are inadequate for the dependent variable (velocity). The best mathematical models for the experimental error involved the substrate and inhibitor concentrations and reflected the rate law for the initial velocity. Data obtained with other enzymes displayed similar relationships between experimental error and the independent variables. The new empirical error functions were shown superior to previously used models when utilized in weighted non-linear-regression analysis of kinetic data. The results suggest that, in the spectrophotometric assays used in the present study, the observed experimental variance is primarily due to errors in determination of the concentrations of substrate and inhibitor and not to error in measuring the velocity.

Fatigue of bituminous asphalts is one of the main types of pavement destruction. This phenomenon was studied extensively in Europe (RILEM) and in the United States (SHRP). There are no standardized tests in Quebec to assess asphalt fatigue resistance. In France, a new approach based on the determination of damage rates due to fatigue has been developed for a tension–compression test on asphalt core samples to study their fatigue strength. This paper presents a summary of the knowledge on asphalt fatigue. Damage rate analyses, developed by the DGCB (Département de Génie Civil et du Bâtiment) of the ENTPE at Lyon, is detailed and applied to stone matrix asphalt (SMA). Results show the validity of the approach by damage and the good fatigue damage strength of the SMA.Key words: bituminous asphalts, fatigue, complex module, damage, stone matrix asphalts (SMA), viscoelasticity, mechanical properties of bituminous asphalts.[Journal Translation]

This article focuses on parental perceptions of signs of hunger and satiety in children under 4 years of age and their effects on feeding practices, in a sample of parents of children with typical development. Discourse analysis shows the close relationships between social food norms, nutritional norms, medicalized child care norms, and educational norms in adults’ determination of children’s appetites according to their perceived needs and psychomotor development. The results also indicate how these norms are expressed according to social position, parental experience and context. More broadly, this article addresses top-down education—from adults to children—in food socialization, and points to the varying attention paid to the signals given by the child. It thus highlights some of the processes by which biological, psychological and social factors interact in socializing children to food.

Abstract: Along with the development of medical technology, endoscopy is mostly used in determination of the diagnosis and examination of gastrointestinal diseases. This study was aimed to determine the indications of gastrointestinal endoscopy, diagnoses of pre and post endoscopy, sex and age of patients undergoing endoscopy, and the prevalence of endoscopic patients from January 2018 to August 2019 at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado. This was a descriptive and retrospective study using data of Medical Record Installation at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital. The results obtained 495 patients who were endoscopy performed on them. Males were predominant (59.8%) as well as age group of 50-59 years old (22.8%). The most frequent indication of endoscopy was dyspepsia/epigastric pain (68.5%). Moreover, EGD plus colonoscopy was the most common endoscopy performed. GERD (20.45%) had the highest percentage of pre endoscopy diagnosis meanwhile esophagitis Los Angeles Classification Grade A (28.8%) had the highest percentage of post endoscopy diagnosis. In conclusion, gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed more common on males, age group of 50-59 years, with indication of dyspepsia (epigastric pain), and in EGD plus colonoscopy. The most common diagnosis of pre endoscopy was GERD and of post endoscopy was esophagitis Los Angeles Classification Grade A.Keywords: gastrointestinal endoscopy Abstrak: Seiring dengan berkembangnya teknologi dibidang kesehatan, endoskopi yang merupakan salah satu cara penetapan diagnosis dan pemeriksaan gastrointestinal yang banyak digunakan.

Proper Analysis

The estimation of stereovision precision in road inspection was determined by the analysis of the distribution of differences between measurements: the stereo vision method and the method of direct measurement with the use of laser distance meter. The carried out analysis is aimed at verifying the type of mapping error of a road surface. The input data was obtained from 160 measurement sections which feature both a different type and a different condition of road pavement. The estimated method of road inspection is based on the stereo vision method of surface representation. Spatial representation of the road is obtained from the images recorded through taking stereo sequences of images by the measurement vehicle moving along the studied section of the road. The proper analysis of the image-based data and the application of mathematical transformations allow for determination of technical and functional parameters of the road. Spatial description allows for a precise evaluation of the state of a road pavement, which in traditional methods of image processing, without information about the depth, is difficult to be achieved and often burdened with errors of qualification of road distresses.
