This is a randomized prospective comparative study conducted at Al- Elwiya Maternity teaching Hospital in Baghdad-Iraq. The objective of this work is to compare two World Health Organization (WHO) Partographs, the composite Partograph including the latent phase with the simplified one without latent phase regarding maternal and fetal outcomes. Study sample consisted of 670 women with term, singleton, vertex presentation, in spontaneous labor. Either Partograph was used on laboring women. The following outcomes: labor crossing the alert and action line, augmentation of labor, rate of cesarean section, maternal complications, user friendliness and perinatal outcome were compared. Labor values crossed the alert and action line was significantly more often with composite Partograph (P< 0.001). Augmentation of labor have been significantly required more in cases of composite group (p- value <0.001). Vaginal deliveries were higher in cases monitored with the simplified group (p<0.005). Cesarean section was more in cases monitored with composite Partograph (p-value <0.001). Admission to the neonatal care unit was more in cases of composite Partograph group, weather the patients were nulliparous or multiparous, the difference was statically significant (p<0.005). Most users (91%) had trouble with composite Partograph, but no resident doctor reported difficulty with simplified Partograph. It was concluded that the World Health Organization simplified Partograph is easier to use and is a better option for both the laboring women and the user, when compared to the composite Partograph.","PeriodicalId":14310,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific Research in Knowledge","volume":"67 1","pages":"433-443"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84878155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was analyzing spatial pattern of drought by SPI index. In this paper, according to the data of 30 stations in Fars Province located in the southern Iran, during 1972-2006, the pattern of drought hazard are evaluated. Influenced zone of each station was specified by Thiessen method. It was attempted to make a new model of drought hazard using GIS. Three criteria for drought were studied and considered to define areas under vulnerability. Drought hazard criteria used in the present model include: maximum severity of drought in the period, trend of drought, and the maximum number of sequential arid years. Each of the vulnerability indicator map and also final hazard map are classified into 4 hazard classes of drought: slight, moderate, severe and very severe. The final drought vulnerability map was prepared by overlaying three criteria maps in the GIS and the final hazard classes were defined on the basis of hazard scores arrived at by using the geometric mean of the main indicators, deploying the new model. The final vulnerability map shows that moderate hazard areas (74% of the region) are much widespread than areas under severe hazard (26% of the region) which are observed in the northwest and eastern parts of the region.","PeriodicalId":14310,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific Research in Knowledge","volume":"26 1","pages":"425-432"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77381996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impact of aging process on the properties of asphalt cement and asphalt concrete was investigated using both of short and long-term aging. Scrap tire rubber was introduced into asphalt cement to modify its physical and rheological properties. Two percentages of crumb rubber (8 and 16) percent by weight of asphalt cement have been tried to modify the properties of asphalt cement, and to investigate its contribution in the aging process. Such modified asphalt was implemented in the construction of asphalt concrete. Marshal, Resilient Modulus, and tensile properties of rubber-modified asphalt concrete were tested and compared with different aging periods and with that of reference mix. The results show that aging for 7 hours of asphalt cement, make the asphalt stiffer, that lead to decreased penetration by an average value of (47.24%), ductility (49.6%) and increased softening point (10.75%) and creep stiffness (79.25%). It was concluded that 8% of crumb rubber is able to overcome the negative impact of short and long term aging on overall asphalt cement and asphalt concrete properties, and improves the rutting resistance at 1000 repetition by (32.4 % and 57.3%) for short and long term aging respectively.","PeriodicalId":14310,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific Research in Knowledge","volume":"31 1","pages":"404-415"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84984508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to apply appropriate remedial policies for dealing with this phenomenon, it should be explained by scientific principles and its impacts on macroeconomic variables are evaluated. In this regard, it is necessary to determine the ranking of proposed remedial policies. The objective of present study is to detect and classify main fields affected by Dutch Disease and propose remedial policies based on the comments of economists and experts. To achieve this purpose, a fuzzy decision-making approach is designed in three ranking models. In addition, the short-run, medium-term, and long-run scheduling procedures are considered as the key decision- making criterion. Results signify that the dominance degree of \"refinement of policies of National Development Fund\" is 3.79 dedicating that it is the first priority among the six alternatives. The next priorities are \"refinement of government budget policies\", \"improving the monetary policies\", \"refinement of policies of foreign trade sector\", \"refinement the relative price mechanism\", and \"refinement the policies of exchange rate\" whose dominance degrees are respectively 3.508, 3.283, 1.735, 1.582 and 1.096. It is concluded that among remedial policies, \"refinement of policies of National Development Fund\" and \"refinement of government budget policies\" are found as the most preferable policies in the viewpoints of economists. Obviously, implement of these remedial policies can work for treatment of the disease. Moreover, the results of sensitivity analysis evince that all three models proposed in this research are constant and not affected by threshold values.","PeriodicalId":14310,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific Research in Knowledge","volume":"2003 1","pages":"370-380"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86258149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, reclaimed materials milled from field, filler, virgin asphalt cement, and four types of recycling agents (used oil, oil + crumb rubber, soft grade asphalt cement, and asphalt cement + sulfur powder), have been implemented and were used to prepare recycled mixtures with nominal maximum size of 12.5 mm. The recycling agent that showed the best mixture performance was used to prepare recycled mixtures with different reclaimed materials contents. Mixtures were subjected to Double Punch shear, Compressive Strength, and index of retained strength Test. It was found that using soft grade asphalt cement as a recycling agent revealed better performance than other types of recycling agents.

Social anxiety disorder is one of these disorders. In this type of disorder, individuals are unable to have effective social communication and their interpersonal communication is impaired. Given the high prevalence of social phobia in youth population and that this population is considered as an active population that is also the main factor for making the effort, growth, and development in any society, this study aimed to determine the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in reducing the symptoms of social anxiety among the young people in Tehran. For this purpose, 16 individuals out of 18-28 year-old young adults, who referred to some of the selected clinics in Tehran, were selected using the convenience sampling method. Then they were randomly divided into experimental and control groups (8 individuals in each group). In this semi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design, the 12-session ACT protocol was used for the subjects in the experimental group, while the subjects in the control group did not receive any intervention. The Social Phobia and Anxiety Inventory (SPAI) were used to measure the symptoms of social anxiety. After the data were collected, ANCOVA test was used for data analysis. The results indicate the effectiveness of ACT in reducing the symptoms of social anxiety among young people. Therefore, ACT can have a significant effect on social anxiety by increasing psychological flexibility.","PeriodicalId":14310,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific Research in Knowledge","volume":"59 1","pages":"395-403"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90406604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
