SOCIAL INCLUSION THROUGH GREEN ECONOMY:THE CASE OF PRISON POPULATION IN SPAIN

Global sustainability is based on intergenerational responsibility. The planet cannot withstand environmental assaults that the capitalist production system can produce if there is not a regulatory mechanism. This mechanism is contained, at least in part, in several regulations and commitments, as “Europe 2020”, which includes goals related with energy efficiency and green economy and others areas linked with social sustainability, as employment, education or social inclusion. This work is centred in a specific group at risk of social exclusion, the Spanish prison population, and the possibility of join two objectives: achieving the social inclusion of this collective through the enhancement of their skills in green economy to get a job. In this way, two of the most important sustainability areas, environmental and social, would be linked and improved. Types of work in prison in Spain are analysed and new proposals are provided.
Vagus-Nerv-Stimulation: Konsensuskonferenz des erweiterten Vorstandes des Österreichischen Sektion der Internationalen Liga gegen Epilepsie

Following conclusions drawn: 1) VNS is the only effective therapeutic option (except ketogenic diet) in patients with otherwise therapy-resistant focal or generalised epilepsy in whom surgical treatment is not possible. 2) Response rate after 3 months is 23 %. Open retrospective analyses showed an increase in response up to 40 % after 2 years. Infrequently patients are seizure-free. 3) In general, implantation of the VNS device is well tolerated, severe complications are rare. 4) In children, there is only limited experience from open, non-controlled, retrospective trials. As to date, VNS may be an option in young children (< 12 years old) that suffer hardly controllable symptomatic, kryptogenic, focal or generalised epilepsy. Tolerability is good, and efﬁ cacy is similar to older patients. 5) A reduction of the individual AED dosage is often possible. 6) To date, there exists no evidence for how to adjust stimulation parameters. 7) Economical studies have shown a direct reduction of costs to treat epilepsy due to VNS. This is mainly achieved by a reduction of in-hospital stay.
Primary Small Cell Carcinoma of Liver in a HIV/Hepatitis B Co-Infected Patient on Virologically Suppressive Antiretroviral Therapy: Case Report and Literature Review

Primary small cell carcinoma of the liver is a rare tumor with few cases reported worldwide. We report a case of primary small cell carcinoma of the liver in a HIV/Hepatitis B co-infected patient on Tenofovir based virologically suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART). Patient presented with fatigue and vomiting, two years after starting ART. CT abdomen showed hepatomegaly with diffuse infiltration. Liver biopsy established a diagnosis of small cell cancer of liver. Immunohistochemistry results were positive for synaptophysin and CD56 while they were negative for Hep par antibody stain 1. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan suggested a diagnosis of malignant neoplasm in the liver. Chemotherapy was started which led to hyperacute liver failure. Patient recovered from liver failure and received 3 cycles of chemotherapy. PET scan done at 3 months showed complete regression of neoplasm but prior to start of 4th cycle, neoplasm relapsed, and patient died 15 days later. Here we discuss the clinical course and treatment of a case of primary small cell carcinoma (SCC) of the liver and review the literature regarding this rare cancer
Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using water soluble gum of Sterculia foetida and evaluation of its antimicrobial activity

In the present study, green synthesis of Ag0 nanoparticles using gum extract as reducing and capping agent was investigated. Sterculia foetida gum extract prepared at different concentrations (0.1% to 0.01%) was used for the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles. The gum extract incubated with 1mM AgNO3 and autoclaved for 15 mints showed gradual change in the colour from yellow to reddish brown indicating the formation of silver nanoparticles. Different spectral analyses were used for confirming nanoparticle formation. Sterile silver nanoparticles devoid of bacteria, viruses, and spores could be produced using this method. Antibacterial activity of the prepared nanoparticles was investigated and the synthesized nanoparticles showed inhibitory activity on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Study of N-phenyl-phthalamic acid effects on fruit setting and fruit quality of sweet, sour and duke cherries

Sweet and sour cherry are economically important fruits of the temperate zone. Sweet cherry (P. avium L.) is a diploid (AA, 2n = 2x = 16) and sour cherry (P. cerasus L.) is a tetraploid (AAFF, 2n = 4x = 32), supposed to result from natural hybridization between sweet cherry and ground cherry (P. fruticosa) (FFFF, 2n = 4x = 32). Duke cherry (P x gondouinii) is a tetraploid (AAAF, 2n = 4x = 32) and a natural hybrid between sour and sweet cherry and produces fruits which are intermediate between these two cherry types. In this study, influence of N-phenyl-phthalamic acid (Nevirol 60 WP) on fruit setting and fruit quality of three commercial cherry species (sweet cherry, sour cherry and duke cherry genotypes) was evaluated. The research results show that by using Nevirol 60 WPT we can improve the fruit setting. As a result of this process, the yield amount will increase, but fruit quality parameters (weight, length, width and diameter) were decreased. There is a significant difference between the reactions of different cultivars. It can be concluded Nevirol 60 WP has a great effect on the improvement of yield amount, especially by good nutrient supply. Also before using Nevirol 60 WP, we have to take into consideration that the increased yield needs a higher nutrient supply.
Some Legacies of Robbins'Nature and Signifance of Economic Science

The Abstract of your paper: This paper criticises three Robbinsian positions still often found in modern economics: (1) the methodology of intuitively obvious assumptions; (2) treating facts as illustrations rather than as tests of theoretical propositions; (3) assuming that theory provides universally applicable generalisations independent of the characteristics of individual economies and so are independent of specific historical processes. Two corollaries of point (3) are that theory cannot assist in explaining unique historical events such as the emergence of sustained growth in the West and that economists need not interest themselves in the details of the technologies that produce the nation's wealth.
A new Multilevel Voltage-Sourced Converter Topology for HVDC Applications

SUMMARY Since the Seventies line commutated converters based on thyristor technology have been the standard for all HVDC applications. This converter topology is, however, marked by its loworder harmonics and high reactive power consumption. Such measures as the use of filter circuits and switchable capacitor banks have been taken to reduce these effects. On the other hand, these converters are marked by low operational losses, robustness of the thyristors against surge currents as well as their overload capability. Therefore, line-commutated thyristor technology will remain best suited to bulk power transmission in future HVDC projects. Compared with the line-commutated technology, additional inherent advantages are obtained through the use of self-commutated converters. In this kind of converter topology, current commutation is independent of the line voltage. This is the case because commutation is purely based on the turn-off capability of the power semiconductors such as IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor). These semiconductors have gained in importance over the years and, due to their reliability, they are most commonly used in such challenging applications as traction and industrial drives. The VSC (Voltage-Sourced Converter) is the most common type of self-commutated converters and has therefore become a standard in the applications mentioned above. The possibility to control active and reactive power independently within weak or even passive networks makes them attractive to power transmission and distribution applications. Most VSCs are based on two-level technology along with PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) controls. This implies that the AC connection voltage can only be switched between two possible levels which are defined by the common DC link capacitor connected to the DC terminals. Through pulse-width modulation with high switching frequencies (up to kHz range), the desired RMS voltage can be controlled and even some discrete low order harmonics can be reduced or eliminated. The use in HVDC applications requires high voltage ratings of the converter which can be achieved by a series connection of power

Isospora bocamontensis (Protozoa: Apicomplexa) in captive yellow cardinal Gubernatrix cristata (Passeriformes: Emberezidae)

The yellow cardinal (Gubernatrix cristata) is a passerine found in southern Brazil, especially along the border with Uruguay and Argentina. It is an endangered species and its population is decreasing. Among the parasites that affect passerines, the genus Isospora is the most easily found in both captive and free-living birds. This parasite commonly causes injury to the intestinal tissue and could occasionally affect other organs. In this work we examined the occurrence of coccidiosis in captive yellow cardinals and its association with factors such as sex, use of parasiticides, type of enclosure, contact with feces, type of food and cleaning frequency. We collected fecal samples of 45 yellow cardinals, healthy and kept in captivity, in late afternoon at the end of the reproductive period. The examination showed parasitic infection by Isospora bocamontensis in 44.5% of the birds. This infection is not influenced by the sex of birds, but is significantly affected by the type of enclosure, contact with the feces, use of parasiticides, type of food and cleaning frequency. The results indicate that to keep yellow cardinals captive, these factors must be observed.
Alpine landslide risk scenario: run-out modelling using a 3D approach

Rockslides of considerable volume developing on the flanks of narrow alpine valleys represent a significant hazard for the potential of river damming and consequent sudden discharge of water.A limestone rock mass of about 650,000 m3 endangers a portion of the upper course of Tagliamento River valley in north-eastern Italy.This section of the valley is prone to detachment of rock landslides due to its structural setting and it has a history of landslide damming: in the literature two huge events are widely documented and a third event is identified and described in this paper. The ancient detachment crown and the corresponding deposit can be observed in the portion of slope adjacent to the unstable rock mass.This paper deals with the run-out model of the unstable rock mass using a Smoothed Particles Hydrodynamics (SPH) model implemented in the DAN3D code. In order to select the appropriatematerial parameters, the ancient rockslide was back-analysed. Subsequently, the parameters were applied to the present unstable portion of the slope to determine the location and dimensions of the deposit that could be formed.It is demonstrated that the deposit has the potential to create a natural dam across the Tagliamento River that would form a 500,000 m3 lake. Although the lake will have limited dimensions, this would represent a very high risk for the downstream villages and infrastructures in case of a sudden collapse of the natural dam.
Eye-image in Experiments: Social Cue or Experimenter Demand Effect?

It is observed in neuroscience, economics and psychology experiments that the presence of an image of a pair of eyes may result in higher level of altruistic behavior by subjects. It is hence concluded that the eye-image serves as a `social Ecue'. We test this against an alternative hypothesis that the higher level of altruism may occur since the eye-image triggers an experimenter demand effect in the same direction with the perceived altruism. We run a `Taking game' with and without eye-image in which the recipient owns some money, and the dictator can take any amount from that. In such a case the social cue and the experimenter demand effect go in opposite directions. We find no overall difference in the amount taken in those treatments. However, males take significantly less and females take insignificantly more under the treatment with eye-image. We conclude that the presence of eyes may have both the social cue and the experimental demand effects, and the net effect depends on the relative magnitude and the direction of the two. For males, the social cue effect is more prominent.
A Technique for Rapid Micropropagation of Solanum surattense Burm. f.

In Solanulll SllraUense, a medicinally important member of family Solanaceae, rapid micropropagation and di­ rect organogenesis was achieved from shoot tip and leaf explants, respectively. Both leaf and shoot tips differentiated into number of small shoots without apparently forming any callus. Average IS0-200 adventitious shoots were pro­ duced from a single explant on MS basal medium fortified with BAP and kinetin individually and in combination. Caulogenesis was followed by rhizogenesis on the same medium without phytohormone. III vitro regenerated plantlets were healthy with dark green leaves and attained a length of 5-10 cm in 10 weeks. The post- transplantation survival rate in the field was SO±5% without any seasonal constraints.
ANALYZING LOWER LIMB RE FLEX AND TONAL RECOVERY AFTER APPLICATION OF TOE SPREADER IN A CUTE STROKE HEMIPLEGIC SUBJECTS

Stroke is the major disease that leads to an increase in the num ber of people with motor or sensory impairment and loss of function on one side of the body (hemiplegia). Many devices used to inhibit excess the tonic toe flexion like orthosis, toe spreader in chronic stroke patients. The main purpose of the present stud y is to investigate the effect of toe spreader to facilitate normal tonal recovery and reflex in acute stroke subjects. Twenty stroke subjects were randomly assigned into two groups i.e. group A (toe spreader group) and group B (conventional therapy group) . After taking the informed consent, pretest score of tone and reflex were recorded. Group A received passive range of motion exercises repeated 10 times at each joint of affected lower limb with toe - spreader for five days. Group B received passive range o f motion exercises for five days. Post test scores of tone and reflex were recorded on the six day after treatment. Experimental group showed more significant normal tonal recovery as compared to control group. There were no significant changes in reflexes in both groups. Toe spreader group showed more significant improvement in normal tonal recovery as compared to control group. Significantly prevent extensor synergy in lower limb in experimental group i.e. Group A.

I will present a concise review of the detector design and performance together with a selection of early physics results and prospects. The integrated luminosity of $37 \rm{pb}^{-1}$ collected in 2010 has already allowed LHCb to perform a number of a very significant measurements, while the data expected for 2011 have the potential of revealing New Physics effects in the $B_s $ sector.
Obstructions to stably fibering manifolds

Is a given map between compact topological manifolds homotopic to the projection map of a fiber bundle? In this paper obstructions to this question are introduced with values in higher algebraic K-theory. Their vanishing implies that the given map fibers stably. The methods also provide results for the corresponding uniqueness question; moreover they apply to the fibering of Hilbert cube manifolds, generalizing results by Chapman-Ferry.
Analysis of team engagement and physical servicescape perception effects on branch service quality and customer engagement

Service-profit-chain is a theory that connects the interaction process between internal service quality (i.e. employee satisfaction) and external service value (i.e. customer satisfaction and loyalty). The theory addresses that satisfied employees are more likely to be more productive at work and loyal to the company that eventually provides high service value to customers. High service value will yield customer satisfaction that ultimately leads to company’s growth and profitability. Based on that premise, ample studies have been done to better explain the process of which employee’s interactions with customers that would generate customer satisfaction. However, due to varying degree of service attributes and service category, findings of those studies are still inconclusive and it leaves some gaps remained, especially in emerging countries context. This research, therefore addresses the gap, specifically by examining the role of team engagement in employee side that may affect customer engagement through service quality. It also investigates whether the relationship of team engagement and perception of physical servicescape affect service quality and customer engagement. As many as 236 respondents from one of the biggest national private bank in Indonesia participated in a cross-sectional survey. Structural Equation Modeling was used to determine the relationships of the variables. The results revealed that team engagement perceptions and physical servicescape perceptions have significant positive effects on service quality, while service quality positively affects customer engagement. However, team engagement and physical servicescape perception did not have direct effect on customer engagement. Type of paper: Empirical
Higher-order expansions and efficiencies of tests based on spacings

Statistics based on spacings, or the gaps between points, have been widely used in many contexts, primarily in testing goodness of fit. This paper derives Edgeworth-type asymptotic expansions for the sum of functions of s-step spacings where s, the order of spacings, may increase together with the sample size n. When s is fixed, it is known that only the Greenwood test, based on the sum of squares of these spacings, is first-order asymptotically efficient. In contrast, it is shown here that if s goes to infinity, there exist many other tests which are first-order efficient. We introduce and study the second-order efficiency of such tests and show that if s is sufficiently large relative to n, the Greenwood test is no longer second-order efficient. Interestingly, we see that the common phenomenon of first-order efficiency implying second-order efficiency does not hold true in this situation.
CORPORALIDAD Y ESTILO MUSICAL EN LA FORMACIÓN INSTRUMENTAL

Este trabajo exploro la relacion entre cuerpo y estilo musical en estudiantes iniciales y avanzados de musica, bajo el supuesto de que el cuerpo se involucra a traves del movimiento, el gesto y la postura de forma de contribuir al reconocimiento del estilo. 75 estudiantes de carreras de instrumento estimaron el estilo de 15 performances de guitarra a partir de la observacion de ejecuciones sin sonido y describieron los indicadores observados en la resolucion de esa tarea. Se indago a traves de esta tarea los recursos metacognitivos de los estudiantes para identificar el estilo musical cuando se coloca al cuerpo como foco atencional de la performance y se lo vinculo con la experiencia musical del estudiante en la realizacion de repertorios de los diferentes estilos. Los resultados no permiten suponer que los estudiantes otorguen a la gestalt corporal un rol importante para el reconocimiento del estilo. Sin embargo se observo una tendencia a reconocer mejor los rasgos corporales comprometidos en la ejecucion de los estilos mas abordados en la formacion. La evidencia metacognitiva muestra que los estudiantes avanzados privilegian los indicadores gestuales globales, en tanto que los estudiantes iniciales focalizan en cuestiones tecnicas y del lenguaje musical.
Digestive Cellulose Hydrolyzing Enzyme Activity (endo- β-1, 4- D- glucanase) in the Gut and Salivary Glands of Blister Beetle, Mylabris pustulata

Mylabris pustulata (blister beetle) was studied for the enzymes involved in hydrolysis of cellulose. Carboxy methyl cellulose hydrolyzing activity (endo- β-1, 4- D-glucanase) was detected in the salivary glands and fore gut, very little activity was present in the hind gut. The multiple forms of the enzyme activity were detected on zymogram after non-denaturing PAGE. One of the fractions was purified by gel filtration and preparative native PAGE. The purified protein appeared as single band on SDS-PAGE with a molecular weight of 150 kilo Dalton. The characteristics of the enzyme showed two optimum pH values, one acidic and one neutral 2.0 and 7. The optimum temperature for endo-β - D- 1, 4- glucanase was 50 °C. The enzyme was maximum activity against carboxy methyl cellulose. Km and Vmax of the enzyme was determined as 0.6g/l and 0.3, respectively. To our knowledge this is first report on the digestive cellulose hydrolyzing activity of Mylabris pustulata.
