The integration of Dow's Fire and Explosion Index into process design and optimization to achieve an inherently safer design
The integration of the safety parameter into process design and optimization is
essential. However, there is no previous work in integrating the fire and explosion index
(F&EI) into design and optimization. This research proposed a procedure for integrating
safety into the design and optimization framework by using the safety parameter as
optimization constraint. The method used in this research is DowâÂÂs Fire and Explosion
Index which is usually calculated manually.
This research automates the calculation of F&EI. The ability to calculate the
F&EI, to determine loss control credit factors and business interruption, and to perform
process unit risk analysis are unique features of this F&EI program. In addition to F&EI
calculation, the F&EI program provides descriptions of each item of the penalties,
chemicals/materials databases, the flexibility to submit known chemical/material data to
databases, and material factor calculations. Moreover, the sensitivity analyses are
automated by generating charts and expressions of F&EI as a function of material
inventory and pressure. The expression will be the focal point in the process of
integrating F&EI into process design and optimization framework. The proposed procedure of integrating F&EI into process design and
optimization framework is verified by applying it into reactor-distillation column
system. The final result is the optimum economic and inherently safer design for the
reactor and distillation column system
The application of expansion foam on liquefied natural gas (LNG) to suppress LNG vapor and LNG pool fire thermal radiation
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) hazards include LNG flammable vapor dispersion and
LNG pool fire thermal radiation. A large LNG pool fire emits high thermal radiation
thus preventing fire fighters from approaching and extinguishing the fire. One of the
strategies used in the LNG industry and recommended by federal regulation National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 59A is to use expansion foam to suppress LNG
vapors and to control LNG fire by reducing the fire size.
In its application, expansion foam effectiveness heavily depends on application rate,
generator location, and LNG containment pit design. Complicated phenomena involved
and previous studies have not completely filled the gaps increases the needs for LNG
field experiments involving expansion foam. In addition, alternative LNG vapor
dispersion and pool fire suppression methodology, Foamglas® pool fire suppression
(PFS), is investigated as well.
This dissertation details the research and experiment development. Results regarding
important phenomena are presented and discussed. Foamglas® PFS effectiveness is
described. Recommendations for advancing current guidelines in LNG vapor dispersion
and pool fire suppression methods are developed. The gaps are presented as the future
work and recommendation on how to do the experiment better in the future. This will
benefit LNG industries to enhance its safety system and to make LNG facilities safer

Is it a matter of trust?: customer purchase intention and satisfaction of private label brands
[Abstract] : Consumers are satisfied when the products they purchase fulfil their needs, which directly means that their purchase intention towards this brand is higher. Based on this idea, the following research takes place to study in depth from a theoretical and practical point of view the variables that are influencing consumer satisfaction and purchase intention the most
It begins with a literature review defining and explaining the concept of Private Label Brands and their evolution through time, followed by the theoretical explanation of the principal variables that influence the concepts: consumer satisfaction and purchase intention. A theoretical model connecting all these variables is developed to study the different relationships and how strong they are based on the weight (β).
The empirical research is based on a brief study using the survey as the data gathering tool. The survey respondents are all Spanish but mostly Galician’s. From the results obtained, it is possible to state that the variable influencing the most consumer satisfaction and purchase intention is the product trust, followed by perceived quality. The perceived price only influences the purchase intention and not the consumer’s satisfaction. Last, perceived risk did not influence any of them with a different outcome than expected.[Resumen]: Los consumidores están satisfechos cuando los productos que adquieren satisfacen sus necesidades, lo que produce indirectamente que su intención de compra frente a esa marca o empresa sea mayor. En este contexto se desarrolla el siguiente estudio, para analizar desde un punto teórico y práctico cuales son las variables que más influyen sobre la satisfacción del consumidor y su intención de compra.
Este estudio comienza con un repaso a la literatura donde se define y explica el concepto de Marcas de Distribuidor junto con su evolución en el tiempo. A continuación, se explican de manera teórica las variables que influyen en la satisfacción e intención de compra y se desarrolla un modelo teórico conectando todas estas variables para estudiar las relaciones entre ellas y como son de fuertes en función del peso medido por el valor de β.
La investigación se lleva a cabo realizando un pequeño estudio mediante una encuesta donde todos los encuestados son españoles y en su mayoría con gallegos. Los resultados obtenidos nos permiten afirmar que la variable que más influye la satisfacción y la intención de compra es la confianza en el producto, seguida de la calidad percibida. El precio percibido influye, en tercer lugar, solamente a la intención de compra y el riesgo percibido no influye ni a la satisfacción ni a la intención de compra.Traballo fin de grao (UDC.ECO). ADE.

The Indonesia Government's Strategy in Arrest and Confiscation of Criminal Corruption (Corruptor) Assets Abroad
Eradication efforts of corrupting in Indonesia have been carried out, but until now there are still many corruption cases that have not been resolved in various ways by the perpetrators or corruptors. Corruptors often drain the funds from the results of corrupting, even the corruptors then go or run abroad. This raises problems in the process of law enforcement and recovery of financial and economic losses in the country, namely the mechanism for returning assets resulting from criminal acts of corrupting abroad. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to (1) Explain how is Indonesia Government's strategy in arrest and confiscation of criminal corruption (corruptor) assets abroad. (2) Explain how is international treaties concerning the seizure of assets resulting from criminal acts of corrupting are abroad. The research method used in this research is qualitative with a juridical legal approach normative. The results showed that the cooperation between countries is the best strategy that can be done by the Indonesia government in overcoming problems of sovereignty. Some examples of these forms of international cooperation are extradition treaties (extradition), Mutual legal assistance in criminal matters (MLA). The mechanism for the return of assets in MLA consists of four stages of the asset return process (Article 46 Chapter IV, UNCAC).Keywords: international cooperation; eradication of corruption; confiscation of assets; extradition; mutual legal assistance in criminal matters

Evidence in chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder guidelines: is it time to treat or time to wait?
Chronic kidney disease\u2013mineral and bone disorder (CKD\u2013MBD) is one of the many important complications associated with CKD and may at least partially explain the extremely high morbidity and mortality among CKD patients. The 2009 Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Clinical Practice Guideline document was based on the best information available at that time and was designed not only to provide information but also to assist in decision-making. In addition to the international KDIGO Work Group, which included worldwide experts, an independent Evidence Review Team was assembled to ensure rigorous review and grading of the existing evidence. Based on the evidence from new clinical trials, an updated Clinical Practice Guideline was published in 2017. In this review, we focus on the conceptual and practical evolution of clinical guidelines (from eMinence-based medicine to eVidence-based medicine and \u2018living\u2019 guidelines), highlight some of the current important CKD\u2013MBD-related changes, and underline the poor or extremely poor level of evidence present in those guidelines (as well as in other areas of nephrology). Finally, we emphasize the importance of individualization of treatments and shared decision-making (based on important ethical considerations and the \u2018best available evidence\u2019), which may prove useful in the face of the uncertainty over the decision whether \u2018to treat\u2019 or \u2018to wait\u2019
A bacterial glycan core linked to surface (S)-layer proteins modulates host immunity through Th17 suppression
Tannerella forsythia is a pathogen implicated in periodontitis, an inflammatory disease of the tooth-supporting tissues often leading to tooth loss. This key periodontal pathogen is decorated with a unique glycan core O-glycosidically linked to the bacterium's proteinaceous surface (S)-layer lattice and other glycoproteins. Herein, we show that the terminal motif of this glycan core acts to modulate dendritic cell effector functions to suppress T-helper (Th)17 responses. In contrast to the wild-type bacterial strain, infection with a mutant strain lacking the complete S-layer glycan core induced robust Th17 and reduced periodontal bone loss in mice. Our findings demonstrate that surface glycosylation of this pathogen may act to ensure its persistence in the host likely through suppression of Th17 responses. In addition, our data suggest that the bacterium then induces the Toll-like receptor 2–Th2 inflammatory axis that has previously been shown to cause bone destruction. Our study provides a biological basis for pathogenesis and opens opportunities in exploiting bacterial glycans as therapeutic targets against periodontitis and a range of other infectious diseases
Omecamtiv mecarbil in chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, GALACTIC‐HF: baseline characteristics and comparison with contemporary clinical trials
Aims:
The safety and efficacy of the novel selective cardiac myosin activator, omecamtiv mecarbil, in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is tested in the Global Approach to Lowering Adverse Cardiac outcomes Through Improving Contractility in Heart Failure (GALACTIC‐HF) trial. Here we describe the baseline characteristics of participants in GALACTIC‐HF and how these compare with other contemporary trials.
Methods and Results:
Adults with established HFrEF, New York Heart Association functional class (NYHA) ≥ II, EF ≤35%, elevated natriuretic peptides and either current hospitalization for HF or history of hospitalization/ emergency department visit for HF within a year were randomized to either placebo or omecamtiv mecarbil (pharmacokinetic‐guided dosing: 25, 37.5 or 50 mg bid). 8256 patients [male (79%), non‐white (22%), mean age 65 years] were enrolled with a mean EF 27%, ischemic etiology in 54%, NYHA II 53% and III/IV 47%, and median NT‐proBNP 1971 pg/mL. HF therapies at baseline were among the most effectively employed in contemporary HF trials. GALACTIC‐HF randomized patients representative of recent HF registries and trials with substantial numbers of patients also having characteristics understudied in previous trials including more from North America (n = 1386), enrolled as inpatients (n = 2084), systolic blood pressure < 100 mmHg (n = 1127), estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 (n = 528), and treated with sacubitril‐valsartan at baseline (n = 1594).
Conclusions:
GALACTIC‐HF enrolled a well‐treated, high‐risk population from both inpatient and outpatient settings, which will provide a definitive evaluation of the efficacy and safety of this novel therapy, as well as informing its potential future implementation
