The majority of blood vessels in the superior cervical ganglion possess a continuous endothelium with tight junctions. These same features have been associated with the blood brain barrier of the central nervous system and peripheral nerves. These vessels may perform a barrier function between the capillary circulation and the superior cervical ganglion. The permeability of the blood vessels in the superior cervical ganglion of the rat was tested by intravenous injection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Three experimental groups of four animals each were given intravenous HRP (Sigma Type II) in a dosage of.08 to.15 mg/gm body weight in.5 ml of.85% saline. The animals were sacrificed at five, ten or 15 minutes following administration of the tracer. Superior cervical ganglia were quickly removed and fixed by immersion in 2.5% glutaraldehyde in Sorenson's.1M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4. Three control animals received,5ml of saline without HRP. These were sacrificed on the same time schedule. Tissues from experimental and control animals were reacted for peroxidase activity and then processed for routine transmission electron microscopy.

The article presents the results of a study of the problem of the subjective feeling of loneliness in working women raising a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the relevance of its study is substantiated. The results obtained indicate that the presence of a child with ASD may not affect the subjective feeling of loneliness in working women, and an unusual time schedule, in this case interchangeable, can lead to an increase in the degree of subjective feeling of loneliness in women.

US television network ABC developed their "Thank God It's Thursday" (TGIT) programming block in 2014 as a prime-time schedule composed of three back-to-back dramas produced by well-known TV showrunner Shonda Rhimes. From its initial development, ABC intended TGIT to be a three-hour live viewing event, encouraged by a multipronged #TGIT Twitter campaign. I consider the industrial and cultural significance of marketing the TGIT block of programming together as a cohesive block of social TV in order to encourage and structure audience participation in live television viewing. #TGIT's form of social television developed as a result of the rise of multicultural market research. The reemergence of serialized melodrama on network television functions culturally to commodify Black femininity in order to appeal to a transracial upscale female audience.

Abstrak—Pembiayaan proyek konstruksi merupakan suatu hal yang sangat penting dan berpengaruh terhadap sistem keuangan pada perusahaan kontraktor dalam menyelesaikan proyek yang akan dilaksanakan. Terdapat beberapa jenis sistem pembayaran pada industri konstruksi, yaitu sistem cara pembayaran bulanan (monthly payment), cara pembayaran bertahap (progress payment) dan cara pembayaran turn key. Penelitian ini dilakukan agar mengetahui persentase keuntungan pada kedua sistem cara pembayaran. Objek penelitian adalah proyek Pembangunan Saluran Drainase Sungai Dingin dan proyek Pembangunan Gedung Unit Pelayanan Teknis (UPT) di Kabupaten Muara Bungo. Data-data yang digunakan untuk menganalisis yaitu data keuangan proyek, Rencana Anggaran Biaya (RAB), dokumen kontrak, dan time schedule. Metode penelitian ini dilakukan dengan cara menganalisis cash flow dari kedua sistem cara pembayaran. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan pada proyek Pembangunan Saluran Drainase Sungai Dingin sistem pembayaran monthly payment mendapatkan keuntungan sebesar Rp 250.151.422,00 atau sebesar 9,14 %  dari nilai kontrak. Sedangkan sistem pembayaran progress payment mendapatkan keuntungan sebesar Rp 610.835.490,00 atau sebesar 22,32 % dari nilai kontrak. Kemudian pada proyek Pembangunan Gedung Unit Pelayanan Teknis (UPT) sistem pembayaran progress payment mendapatkan keuntungan sebesar Rp 109.835.649,00 atau sebesar 18,98 % dari nilai kontrak. Sedangkan sistem pembayaran monthly payment mendapatkan keuntungan sebesar Rp 111.766.053,00 atau sebesar 19,32 % dari nilai kontrak. Jadi pada proyek Pembangunan Saluran Drainase Sungai Dingin yang lebih banyak mendapatkan keuntungan adalah sistem pembayaran progress payment sedangkan pada proyek Pembangunan Gedung Unit Pelayanan Teknis (UPT) yang lebih banyak mendapatkan keuntungan adalah sistem pembayaran monthly payment.

Subcontracting is widely employed in the construction industry owing to the variation of methods, materials, magnitude, and function of the infrastructures. However, the rapport between parties in construction are mostly adversarial and plagued with hitches, which negatively impact construction productivity. This research investigates the problems associated with subcontracting strategies of contractors in industrial projects in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia via questionnaire survey. The questionnaire contains a list of thirty-three likely problems affecting subcontracting strategy of contractors organised under the three categories of planning, awarding, and contracting issues. The respondents matched the likely problems with the project value drivers (quality, cost, and time) with which they impact, and rated the magnitude of the problems on project performance. The survey identified incompatibility of the subcontractor/supplier’s time schedule with the project’s time schedule as the topmost problem related to planning issues. Unethical practices is ranked highest among problems related to awarding issues, while incompatibility of subcontracts’ terms and conditions with the main contract’s terms and conditions is rated top among the topmost problems related to contracting issues. The findings revealed that the three problem categories have negative impacts on all the project value drivers in different combinations and are almost equally significant in the view of contractors while making subcontracting decisions. Contractors are therefore advised to critically evaluate the schedule, cost, and quality performance of industrial projects during the planning, awarding, and contracting phase of subcontracting in industrial projects.

Educational Computer Games

This paper outlines the barriers for using computer games in an educational setting by drawing on a study of a two‐month history course with the historical strategy game Europa Universalis II. The paper draws on the limited earlier literature on the subject to identify classic areas of difficulty. Some of these are time schedule, physical setting, class expectations, teacher background, genre knowledge, technical problems, experience with group work, teacher preparation, perception of games, class size, priority issue. It is concluded that these factors add up to a tremendous workload on teachers that wish to engage with educational computer games and demands that the teacher possesses a variety of skills.
