Slavic and East European Language Programs and Heritage Language Communities
Authors: Kresin Susan
Published: March 2017

Among Slavic and East European heritage communities, the post-1989 geopolitical situation in Central and Eastern Europe has changed both emigration patterns and core aspects of the relationship between speakers in the homeland and abroad. Many speakers have both an enhanced motivation to maintain their heritage languages and greater resources to do so. As a reflection of this increased interest in Slavic and East European heritage languages, recent years have witnessed a rise in the number and scope of community language schools, established primarily by parents who wish to ensure that their children maintain active use of their heritage languages. At the same time, many Slavic and East European language programs at the college level have increasingly come under threat, due to the combination of reduced enrollments, greater administrative focus on class sizes, and a loss of federal funding. In this paper, using Czech as the base language, I suggest that by placing a greater emphasis on connections with heritage communities, we may be able to enhance the viability of Slavic and East European programs at the college level. This potential is supported by a marked increase in research on heritage language learners over the past two decades, which provides a foundation for curricular adjustments that address the specific needs of heritage language learners.

The creators of Ukraine Alive are working on more sophisticated games to test if gaming can teach culture effectively.Ukraine Alive is also used to teach students at the university level. By generating content for the Alive series of sites, university students learn how to write for publication online, producing formal text and combining it with visuals and audio. Teaching university students the humanistic aspect of formal composition for presentation online is an area of instruction that is only now being recognized.
Epidural related priapism: A case report and review of the literature
Authors: Bickley James
Published: March 2017

Priapism is an unusual, but potentially organ threatening, complication of epidural anaesthesia. We present a case of priapism following epidural catheterisation for analgesia after a hemicolectomy. The priapism resolved on epidural discontinuation and alternative analgesia was provided. Previous reports have shown that stopping the epidural infusion results in detumescence. The potential severity of this rare complication highlights the importance of prompt recognition and management of such patients.
Management of a persistent air leak after acute secondary pneumothorax in a ventilated patient using endobronchial valves
Authors: Pillai Arani , Gurumoorthi Sriram , Smith Paul , Kemp Samuel
Published: March 2017

A 76‐year‐old lady with an infective exacerbation of COPD was admitted to ICU following a respiratory arrest. The patient developed a tension pneumothorax after tracheal intubation which was difficult to manage. Several chest drains were inserted but her lungs remained difficult to ventilate and there was a persistent air leak. She had severe COPD and was considered unsuitable for transfer to a local thoracic centre. She was successfully managed by localising the areas of air leak and inserting two endobronchial valves in ICU via bronchoscopy. The air leak stopped and talc pleurodesis was employed to maintain lung inflation. The patient's trachea was subsequently extubated and she was discharged three weeks later.
Post partum cardiac arrest secondary to ergometrine‐induced coronary vasospasm
Authors: Zucco Liana , Monks David
Published: March 2017

We present a rare case of post partum cardiac arrest secondary to coronary artery spasm induced by the administration of ergometrine. A 28‐year‐old female of Chinese ethnicity suffered a cardiac arrest shortly after the delivery of a healthy term baby via spontaneous vaginal delivery. The underlying cause was determined to be vasospasm secondary to ergometrine, coupled with a low output state following a post partum haemorrhage. Following treatment she made a full recovery. This case highlights several key learning points; a reminder of the need to consider and recognise cardiac disease as a cause for maternal collapse and arrest, the possibility of coronary artery spasm due to administration of ergot derivatives and the increased susceptibility to vasospasm in specific populations.
The use of dexmedetomidine as sedation for percutaneous vertebroplasty
Authors: Holden Siobhane , Sebastian Joseph
Published: March 2017

A 56‐yr‐old lady was scheduled for elective percutaneous vertebroplasty to alleviate pain caused by vertebral metastases. At our institution this procedure is performed under local anaesthesia combined with intravenous sedation in the prone position. The patient was known to have a raised body mass index (BMI) of 58.1, a history of obstructive sleep apnoea and gastro‐oesophageal reflux. We realised that we would have very limited access to the patient during the procedure due to the prone position as well as being in an isolated location. It was vital, therefore, to use a sedative agent that would ensure airway reflexes were maintained and cause no respiratory depression or cardiovascular instability. We describe the use of dexmedetomidine to achieve safe, conscious sedation.

Authors: Pálfy T. G. , Gerodolle M. , Gourdon R. , Meyer D. , Troesch S. , Molle P.
Published: March 2017

The performance of a vertical flow constructed wetland for combined sewer overflow treatment (CSO CW) has been evaluated. The full-scale site has been monitored for 3 years for major pollutants and for two load events for a range of micropollutants (metals, metalloids and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)). Performance were predominantly high (97% for total suspended solids (TSS), 80% for chemical oxygen demand (COD), 72% for NH4-N), even if several loads were extremely voluminous, pushing the filter to its limits. Two different filter materials (a 4:1 mixture of sand and zeolite and natural pozzolana) showed similar treatment performance. Furthermore, environmental factors were correlated with COD removal efficiency. The greatest influencers of COD removal efficiency were the inlet dissolved COD concentrations and the duration and potential evapotranspiration during inter-event periods. Furthermore, sludge was analysed for quality and a sludge depth map was created. The map, and calculating the changes in sludge volume, helped to understand solid accumulation dynamics.

Authors: Chen Zuosong , Wang Dong , Wang Kun , Ronkainen Noora J. , Huang Tao
Published: March 2017

We examined the effects of coaching style, motivation style, and moral disengagement on prosocial and antisocial behavior among Chinese athletes. Participants were 203 athletes (36.9% women; Mage = 19.0, SD = 2.6 years) from the Fujian Provincial Sports Team.
Structural equation modeling analysis results revealed that the autonomy-supportive coaching style had an indirect and positive effect on prosocial behavior through the mediation of autonomous motivation. Further, the controlling coaching style had an indirect and positive effect on antisocial
behavior through the mediation of controlled motivation and moral disengagement. The findings indicate that as coaching style influences prosocial and antisocial behavior among Chinese athletes, it should be targeted when interventions aimed at reducing their immoral behavior are developed.
Mobile scanning complex positioning accuracy depending on the coordinate systems used
Authors: Shanurov G.A. , Manilova A.D.
Published: March 2017

Inertial coordinate system and geodetic (terrestrial) coordinate system are used in processing of results of topographic survey, carried out with a mobile scanning complex. Mobile scanning complex geodetic coordinates, in turn, are presented in geodetic three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system form, in geodetic ellipsoidal coordinate system form and in the form of coordinates on a geodetic projection plane. The results of research, carried out earlier [4–7], suggest that the coordinate transformation on large areas distorts geodetic points coordinates. The article presents the results of similar investigations, but applied to a local area, limited by a mobile scanning complex surveying area. The accuracy of the mobile scanning complex coordinates is characterized by the mobile scanning complex coordinates errors cofactor matrix. It turned out that the local site sequential coordinate transformation procedure from one coordinate system to another coordinate system does not introduce any distortion into the mobile scanning complex coordinates.
R-Tree for phase change memory
Authors: Jabarov Elkhan , On Byung-Won , Choi Gyu , Park Myong-Soon
Published: March 2017

Nowadays, many applications use spatial data for instance-location information, so storing spatial data is important.We suggest using R -Tree over PCM. Our objective is to design a PCM-sensitive R -Tree that can store spatial data as well as improve the endurance problem. Initially, we examine how R -Tree causes endurance problems in PCM, and we then optimize it for PCM. We propose doubling the leaf node size, writing a split node to a blank node, updating parent nodes only once and not merging the nodes after deletion when the minimum fill factor requirement does not meet. Based on our experimental results while using benchmark dataset, the number of write operations to PCM in average decreased by 56 times by using the proposed R -Tree. Moreover, the proposed R -Tree scheme improves the performance in terms of processing time in average 23% compared to R -Tree.

In this paper, a new identity for n-times differntiable functions is
established and by using the obtained identity, some new inequalities
Hermite-Hadamard type are obtained for functions whose nth derivatives in
absolute value are convex and concave functions. From our results, several
inequalities of Hermite-Hadamard type can be derived in terms of functions
whose first and second derivatives in absolute value are convex and concave
functions as special cases. Our results may provide refinements of some
results already exist in literature. Applications to trapezoidal formula and
special means of established results are given.

Authors: Chen Dongjun , Zhanga Yun
Published: March 2017

Let A = Re A + i Im A be the Cartesian decomposition of square matrix A of
order n with Re A = A+A*/2 and Im A = A-A*/2i. Fan-Hoffman?s result asserts
that ?j(ReA)? sj(A), j=1,..., n, where ?j(M) and sj(M) stand for the
jth largest eigenvalue of M and the jth largest singular value of M,
respectively. We investigate singular value inequalities for real and
imaginary parts of matrices and prove the following inequalities: sj(Re A) ?
1/4 sj([(|A|+|A*|)-(A+A*)]?[(|A|+|A*|)+(A+A*)]), and sj(Im A) ? 1/4 sj([(|A|+|A*|)- i(A*-A)] ? [(|A|+|A*|) + i(A*-A)]), j
= 1,..., n. In particular, we have sj(Re A) ? 1/2 sj((|A|+|A*|)?
(|A|+|A*|)), and sj(Im A) ? 1/2 sj((|A|+|A*|)? (|A|+|A*|)), j=1,..., n. Moreover, we also show that these inequalities are sharp.
Topological and pointwise upper Kuratowski limits of a sequence of lower quasi-continuous multifunctions
Authors: Matejdes Milan
Published: March 2017

In this paper we deal with a connection between the upper Kuratowski limit of
a sequence of graphs of multifunctions and the upper Kuratowski limit of a
sequence of their values. Namely, we will study under which conditions for a
graph cluster point (x,y) ? X x Y of a sequence {GrFn:n ? ?} of graphs of
lower quasi-continuous multifunctions, y is a vertical cluster point of the
sequence {Fn(x): n ? ?} of values of given multifunctions. The existence of
a selection being quasi-continuous on a dense open set (a dense G?-set) for
the topological (pointwise) upper Kuratowski limit is established.

Published: March 2017

Let G be a locally compact group and let ? be a closed subgroup of G x G. In
this paper, the concept of commutativity with respect to a closed subgroup
of a product group, which is a generalization of multipliers under the usual
sense, is introduced. As a consequence, we obtain characterization of
operators on L2(G) which commute with left translation when G is amenable.

Convex dominating-geodetic partitions in graphs
Authors: González Yero , Lemńska Magdalena
Published: March 2017

The distance d(u,v) between two vertices u and v in a connected graph G is
the length of a shortest u-v path in G. A u-v path of length d(u,v)
is called u-v geodesic. A set X is convex in G if vertices from all a -b
geodesics belong to X for every two vertices a,b?X. A set of vertices D
is dominating in G if every vertex of V-D has at least one neighbor in D.
The convex domination number con(G) of a graph G equals the minimum
cardinality of a convex dominating set in G. A set of vertices S of a graph
G is a geodetic set of G if every vertex v ? S lies on a x-y geodesic
between two vertices x,y of S. The minimum cardinality of a geodetic set of
G is the geodetic number of G and it is denoted by g(G). Let D,S be a
convex dominating set and a geodetic set in G, respectively. The two sets D
and S form a convex dominating-geodetic partition of G if |D| + |S| =
|V(G)|. Moreover, a convex dominating-geodetic partition of G is called
optimal if D is a ?con(G)-set and S is a g(G)-set. In the present article we
study the (optimal) convex dominating-geodetic partitions of graphs.

Published: March 2017

Background/Aim. A predictor of a poor prognosis, renal dysfunction often manifests in patients with heart failure, and is associated with an increased mortality in these patients. The aim of the parent study was to determine risk factors associated with worsening renal function (WRF) in patients hospitalized for acutely decompensated heart failure. Methods. The study included 330 patients with acutely decompensated heart failure. Patients who developed WRF (n = 215, mean age 72.4 ? 9.8 years) were in the clinical group, and patients without WRF (n = 115, mean age 59.8 ? 11.7 years) were in the control group. Patients in the clinical group were observed according to: the age, gender, lipids, electrolytes, smoking, hypertension, and type of heart failure, with reduced or preserved left ventricle ejection fraction (HFrEF or HFpEF). We used logistic regression to calculate non-adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals for occurrence of WRF. Results. WRF was determined in 65.2% of patients with heart failure. Non-adjusted OR showed that there was a significant risk for development of WRF with age (OR = 4.3; p < 0.01), total cholesterol > 5.2 mmol/L (OR = 1.6; p < 0.05), hyponatremia < 135 mmol/L, (OR = 2.8; p < 0.01), smoking (OR = 3.9; p < 0.01), hypertension (OR = 2.0; p < 0.05), and with the presence of HFrEF (OR = 1.3; p < 0.01). Presence of HFpEF, hypokalemia, < 3.5 mmol/L, plasma triglycerides, > 1.7 mmol/L, and gender, did not have any significance for the development of renal damage. Conclusion. Patients? age, total cholesterol, hyponatremia, smoking, hypertension, and HFrEF were significant risk factors for worsening renal function in heart failure patients. Comparing predictive values, age could be the best prognostic tool for early identification of patients at risk for WRF.
PENGARUH BEBERAPA FITOHORMON PADA PEMBENTUKAN MUTAN BARLEY (Hordeum Vulgare) DENGAN FENOTIP BIJI ABNORMAL
Authors: Djajanegara Ira N.
Published: March 2017

Seg8 is the shrunken endosperm mutant occured naturally in barley (Hordeum vulgare). This recessive mutant does not express xenia which indicates that the endosperm phenotypes depend on the genotype of the diploid maternal parents. This mutant provides an opportunity to analyze factors produced by the female parent that affect the seed development process. One of the factors affecting seed development and growth is phytohormones. In vitro spike culture system adopted from wheat spike culture system was used to investigate the involvement of phytohormones in the grain filling process. Phytohormones were applied during 15 days period of culture. Phytohormones concentrations used were as follows abscisic acid 10–4 M, 5x10–5 M, 10–6M, 5x10–7M and 10–7M. Gibberelic acid concentrations were 5x10–3 M, 5x10–4 M, 5x10–5 M, 2.5x10–5M, 10-5M and 2x10–6M. Cytokinin concentrations were 2x10–6 M, 2x10–7 M and 2x10–8 M. In this experiment, 2 days before anthesis is the best stage to start the spike culture period and 15 days period of culture is sufficient to observe the grain filling process and emergence of the mutant phenotype. The phytohormones treatments as well as their respective concentrations were not able to recover the normal phenotype. Abscisic acid treatment at 5x10-7 M were able to increase the mutant grain dry weight significantly compared to untreated culture but the normal phenotype was not recovered. This indicates that lack of phytohormones was not the maternal factor affecting the seed development process in this particular mutant.

DEVELOPMENT AND PATHOGENICITY OF INFECTIVE JUVENILES ORIGINATING VIA ENDOTOKIA MATRICIDA IN AXENIC STEINERNEMATID NEMATODES
Authors: Baliadi Yuliantoro
Published: March 2017

Development and insecticidal activity of axenic infective juveniles (IJs) originating from endotokia matricida in maternal bodies of Steinernema glaseri and S. carpocapsae were investigated with a comparison to IJs developed in monoxenic culture. In comparison with the monoxenic steinernematids, the axenic ones grew slower and produced fewer IJs when they were cultured in a sterile chicken liver extract medium supplement with an autoclaved nematode infected Galleria mellonella larva. The phenomena of endotokia matricida, an intra-uterine development of hatched juvenile, occurred in an axenic culture as did the monoxenic ones. Although it occurred faster in monoxenic culture, the ratio of females bearing endotokia matricida was more numerous in axenic ones. These axenic females also produced IJs through the endotokia matricida phenomenon. Compared to the normal IJs develop in monoxenic culture, the IJs originated via endotokia matricida of axenic nematodes showed lower insecticidal activity and it could not reproduce in G. mellonella cadaver.
