Cocaine‐induced cardiomyopathy in a paediatric patient
Authors: Heaney Aine , Rooney Gráinne , Lowe Dermot
Published: July 2018

A 23‐month‐old healthy female presented for irrigation of obstructed nasolacrimal ducts under general anaesthesia. Induction of anaesthesia was uneventful and a supraglottic airway device was inserted. During the surgical procedure, gauze pledgets soaked in a solution containing 4% cocaine and 1:1000 adrenaline were inserted into both nostrils. The nasolacrimal ducts were irrigated with the same solution. The procedure lasted approximately twenty minutes and the pledgets were removed at the end. No adverse intraoperative events were noted. In the recovery room, the patient became agitated and developed signs of respiratory distress. Bilateral infiltrates consistent with pulmonary oedema were evident on the chest radiograph and a bedside echocardiogram demonstrated significantly impaired left ventricular function. Lateral T‐wave inversion was seen on the electrocardiogram and cardiac troponin levels were elevated. Following the exclusion of other causes of myocardial dysfunction, ischaemic cardiomyopathy due to cocaine‐induced vasospasm was considered to be the most likely diagnosis. This case highlights the hazards associated with the systemic absorption of cocaine, particularly when used in combination with adrenaline. Safe dosing regimens were not adhered to in this case and the dose of cocaine in the irrigation solution was not calculated. We suggest that cocaine should only be used in clinical practice when no safer alternative is available.

Published: July 2018

The article aims to reveal the university rating by its faculty motivation, which has an impact on human resources development in higher education sector and raises the university competiveness level. To achieve the given goal, the researchers have developed a model for evaluating the university rating on faculty work motivation by assessing implementation of motivational factors in the university, their weight for determining its rating in comparison with the threshold value.The article examines blocks of motivational factors, such as material-monetary, material- non-monetary and non-material. The authors believe that systemic and timely use of these blocks of motivational factors by the university may increase the lecturers’ professional skills level, quality of the educational program and the academic process itself and contribute to the growth of university competitiveness.During the research, the lecturers were surveyed by using a structured questionnaire, and a model for assessing the university faculty motivation level has been developed based on the research outcomes. Comparative analysis of the obtained results and the threshold value have been made so that to come up with conclusions on the universityrating. The survey has revealed that the university under study has the B+– class rating, which demonstrates a fairly high result. There have been made recommendations to the given university on achieving the higher-class rating.

Cancer Biomarker Discovery for Precision Medicine: New Progress
Authors: Zou Jinfeng , Wang Edwin
Published: July 2018

Background:

Precision medicine puts forward customized healthcare for cancer
patients. An important way to accomplish this task is to stratify patients into those who may
respond to a treatment and those who may not. For this purpose, diagnostic and prognostic
biomarkers have been pursued.

Objective:

This review focuses on novel approaches and concepts of exploring biomarker discovery
under the circumstances that technologies are developed, and data are accumulated for
precision medicine.

Results:

The traditional mechanism-driven functional biomarkers have the advantage of actionable
insights, while data-driven computational biomarkers can fulfill more needs, especially
with tremendous data on the molecules of different layers (e.g. genetic mutation,
mRNA, protein etc.) which are accumulated based on a plenty of technologies. Besides, the
technology-driven liquid biopsy biomarker is very promising to improve patients’ survival.
The developments of biomarker discovery on these aspects are promoting the understanding
of cancer, helping the stratification of patients and improving patients’ survival.

Conclusion:

Current developments on mechanisms-, data- and technology-driven biomarker
discovery are achieving the aim of precision medicine and promoting the clinical application
of biomarkers. Meanwhile, the complexity of cancer requires more effective biomarkers,
which could be accomplished by a comprehensive integration of multiple types of biomarkers
together with a deep understanding of cancer.
Recent Advances on the Network Models in Target-based Drug Discovery
Authors: Yan Wenying , Zhang Daqing , Shen Chen , Liang Zhongjie , Hu Guang
Published: July 2018

With the advancement of “proteomics” data and systems biology, new techniques are needed
to meet the new era of drug discovery. Network theory is increasingly applied to describe complex biological
systems, thus implying its essential roles in system-based drug design. In this review, we first
summarized general network parameters used in describing biological systems, and then gave some
recent applications of these network parameters as topological indices in drug design in terms of Protein
Structure Networks (PSNs), Protein-Protein Interaction Networks (PPINs) including related structural
PPINs, and Elastic Network Models (ENMs). These network models have enabled the development of
new drugs relying on allosteric effects, describing anti-cancer targets, targeting hot spots and key proteins
at the protein-protein interfaces and PPINs, and helped drug design by modulating conformational
flexibility. Accordingly, we highlighted the integration of network models bringing new paradigms into
the next-generation target-based drug discovery.

Authors: Zhang Chi-yuan , liu Mo , Wan Jia-ming , Gao Ming-qi , Zhang Yue , Soyan Muscab , Wang Huai-Liang , Bai Yang
Published: July 2018

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating disease without effective drugs
available for its treatment. An in-depth exploration of the pathogenesis of PAH, as well as inquiry
into potential therapeutic targets, remains an urgent issue. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have
arisen as key players in malignant tumors, cardiovascular diseases and more recently in PAH
progression and development. Network pharmacology is a new discipline based on system biology,
which can predict potential therapeutic targets in diseases regulated by multiple genes. In this
review, we discuss the current knowledge of ncRNAs and network pharmacology regulated
genes involved in PAH, as well as the search for potential drug targets for PAH.
A FO-PID Controlled Automatic Generation Control of Multi Area Power Systems Tuned by Harmony Search
Authors: Behera Aurobindo , Panigrahi Tapas K. , Sahoo Arun K.
Published: July 2018

Background:

Power system stability demands minimum variation in frequency, so that loadgeneration
balance is maintained throughout the operation period. An Automatic Generation Control
(AGC) monitors the frequency and varies the generation to maintain the balance. A system with
multiple energy sources and use of a fractional controller for efficient control of stability is presented in
the paper. At the outset a 2-area thermal system with governor dead band, generation rate constraint and
boiler dynamics have been applied.

Methods:

A variation of load is deliberated for the study of the considered system with Harmony Search
(HS) algorithm, applied for providing optimization of controller parameters. Integral Square Time
Square Error (ISTSE) is chosen as objective function for handling the process of tuning controller
parameters.

:

A study of similar system with various lately available techniques such as TLBO, hFA-PS and BFOA
applied to PID, IDD and PIDD being compared to HS tuned fractional controller is presented under step
and dynamic load change. The effort extended to a single area system with reheat thermal plant, hydel
plant and a unit of wind plant is tested with the fractional controller scheme.

Results:

The simulation results provide a clear idea of the superiority of the combination of HS
algorithm and FO-PID controller, under dynamically changing load. The variation of load is taken from
1% to 5% of the connected load.

Conclusion:

Finally, system robustness is shown by modifying essential factors by ± 30%.
A Blurring of Roles: Use of Force in UN Peacekeeping
Authors: Pinto Arena Maria do Ceu
Published: July 2018

There is a sober paradox involved in the use of oxymoron ‘peace operations’, as these operations, traditionallyanchored on the bedrock principles of UN peacekeeping - consent of the parties, impartiality, and non-use of force exceptin self-defence -, are being increasingly transformed into enforcement operations. Twenty-seven years after the end of theCold War and the rebirth of the United Nations’ (UN) security role, peacekeeping operations are increasingly losing groundto an emerging pattern of more aggressive, offensive operations. They have an essentially hybrid nature, involving elementsof both peacekeeping and enforcement. Although many see them as alternative, non-reconcilable techniques, politicians andpractitioners do not see a sharp dividing line separating non-coercive and enforcement tasks, permitting an easy transitionfrom one to the other.
Capital x Labor in the Creative Industries: A Marxist Approach to Copyright and Related Rights
Authors: Albrecht Nayara
Published: July 2018

This paper aims to develop an alternative framework to understand copyright based upon a Marxist analysis of this field in political science grounds. By providing a bibliographical research on both the fundamentals of property theories and Marxist perspectives, I try to promote another understanding on how creative industries operate. Therefore, the paper provides a literature study on both intellectual property theories and Marxism. Regarding intellectual property theories, I focus on four types of approaches: utilitarian theory, labor theory, personality theory and culture theory. In what concerns Marxist perspectives, I explain most fundamental concepts such as “class”, “exploitation” and the relationship between classes and State according to a Marxist view. These concepts are important to understand lobbying of creative industries. Then, I try to build a framework that links these concepts. Finally, I employ this Marxist framework to the “modus operandi” of copyright core industries analyzing how stakeholders interact with each other and in what extent they may affect public policies about copyright and related rights. In the final remarks, I suggest a research agenda on Marxism and copyright. Thus, this is a preliminary exercise to encourage other studies.
Моделирование туннельного переноса электронов в системе полупроводник-кристаллический диэлектрик-Si(111)
Authors: Векслер М.И.
Published: July 2018

AbstractTunneling carrier transport through a thin insulator (e.g., CaF_2) layer between a Si(111) substrate and a semiconductor gate is theoretically investigated. Along with the conservation of a large transverse wave vector of tunneling particles, the limitation imposed on the availability of states in the gate is taken into account. Due to this limitation, the tunneling currents at low insulator bias are weaker than in an analogous structure with a metal gate electrode. The same feature leads to a change in the shape of the energy distribution of tunneling electrons, both in transport between the substrate and gate conduction bands and during the Si(111) conduction band–gate valence band transfer.

AbstractSignificant photocurrent/photoconductivity amplification is observed at low reverse biases in a type-II n -GaSb/InAs/ p -GaSb heterostructure with a single quantum well (QW), grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy. A sharp increase in the photocurrent by more than two orders of magnitude occurs under exposure of the heterostructure to monochromatic light with a wavelength of 1.2–1.6 μm (at 77 K) and the application of a reverse bias in the range 5–200 mV. The optical gain depends on the applied voltage and increases to 2.5 × 10^2 at a reverse bias of 800 mV. Theoretical analysis demonstrated that the main role in the phenomenon is played by the screening of the external electric field by electrons accumulated in the deep InAs QW and by the mechanism of the tunneling transport of carriers with a small effective mass. It is shown that the effect under study is common to both isotype and anisotype type-II heterojunctions, including structures with QWs and superlattices.

A quantum-cascade laser heterostructure based on the In_0.53Ga_0.47As/A_l0.48In_0.52As alloy heteropair, matched to an InP substrate, is grown by molecular-beam epitaxy and consists of 50 identical cascades placed in a waveguide with air as the top cladding. A threshold current density of ~5.1 kA/cm^2 at a temperature of 300 K is obtained in ridge lasers with a cavity length of 1.4 mm and a ridge width of 24 μm.
Тонкая структура ридберговских экситонов в закиси меди
Authors: Семина М.А.
Published: July 2018

AbstractIn 1952, E.F. Gross and N.A. Karryev discovered excitons of big radius also called the Wannier–Mott excitons. Their energy spectrum, response to external electric and magnetic fields, and also elastic deformations of a crystal were extensively studied in the 1960s–1970s. The second wave of interest to excitons in Cu_2O crystals appeared comparatively recent, in 2014, after the “giant” highly excited exciton states had been observed in this material. A theoretical description of highly excited exciton states needs, as a rule, new approaches, because, for such states, a deviation from the exactly solved hydrogen-like model becomes substantial and a numerical solution of the Schrödinger equation with allowance made for the features of the crystal energy band structure becomes extremely resource consuming. This report is a brief review of recent theoretical and experimental studies of the fine structure of the exciton energy spectrum in copper protoxide.
Universal ratio of Coulomb interaction to geometric quantization in (In, Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots
Authors: Bayer M. , Ludwig A. , Wieck A.
Published: July 2018

AbstractWe study the photoluminescence of self-assembled (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum dot ensembles with varying confinement potential height. The low energy shift of the s -shell emission with increasing excitation power gives a measure of the Coulomb interaction in these structures as it results from carrier–carrier interactions between the optically injected exciton complexes. When dividing this shift by the dot level splitting, determined by the geometric confinement, we obtain a universal function of the number of involved excitons that is independent of the confinement potential height. This shows an identical scaling of Coulomb interaction and geometric quantization with varying confinement.

AbstractThe formation of thin layers of luminescent defects on the faces of planar lithium fluoride crystals located in the positive column and Faraday dark space of a glow gas discharge was studied by time-resolved confocal scanning luminescent microscopy and time-correlated single photon counting. The formation of aggregated color centers in the surface layers of crystals was established using the spectral and kinetic characteristics of luminescence appearing after irradiation. The role of gas discharge electrons, ions, and photons in the defect formation mechanism was considered. The defects were shown to be formed under the influence of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photons. The VUV radiation intensity distribution in the discharge gap was measured by the method of thermostimulated luminescence. The main source of this radiation was the anodic and cathodic voltage drop regions in a glow discharge.

AbstractLiving sensory neurons were studied by atomic force microscopy in the PeakForce QNM mode under near-physiological conditions. The dependence of the measured apparent Young modulus of cells on the ratio of the probe height to the beam length on a used cantilever was revealed. A qualitative explanation based on the analysis of beam strains in two limit cases, in which the probe slides over a studied object and the probe sticks to the latter, was given to the obtained result. It was proposed to classify native cells by the character of their interaction with the probe (sliding or sticking).

Published: July 2018

AbstractThe problem of increasing the accuracy of calculating the characteristics of complex dynamics in threshold systems is solved using the example of Lyapunov’s exponents. Despite the existence of theoretical and numerical studies that earlier have allowed one to substantiate the possibility of recovery of dynamic systems from the signals at the output of threshold systems, the problem of diagnostics of dynamics in the case of a small amount of data in the presence of noise requires a separate study. It has been shown how preliminary data processing that provides the transition to uniform sampling can significantly reduce the computation errors.

Применение плоских импульсных акустических волн в устройствах с фазированными решетками для ультразвуковой визуализации в слоистых средах
Authors: Титов С.А.
Published: July 2018

AbstractA new method of constructing ultrasonic images in layered media is proposed that is based on the radiation and reception of plane pulsed waves at various angles. Upon passage via a set of layers, plane pulsed waves do not change their shape and direction in the imaged region, which eliminates the need for detailed analysis of wave propagation in intermediate layers. It is shown that, in the absence of a priori information on the thicknesses and acoustical parameters of layers or the results of their measurement, the proposed method allows images to be obtained at a spatial resolution corresponding to the theoretical limit.
Executive compensation and corporate performance: Evidence from Jordanian commercial banks
Authors: Iskandrani Majd , Yaseen Hadeel , Al-Amarneh Asma’a
Published: July 2018

The wave of the recent financial crisis has reawakened interest in corporate governance as well as the relationship between executive compensation and corporate performance. Notably, corporate governance has been presented as a mechanism to absorb fiscal crisis faced in emerging economies. The principal aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between CEO compensation and corporate performance among commercial banks operating in a small emerging market, namely Jordan. Primary data were collected for a sample of 13 Jordanian commercial banks listed at Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) during the period of 2010 -2016. The findings of this paper suggest that corporate performance measured by return on equity (ROE) and return on assets (ROA) has no influence on CEO compensation. Furthermore, this paper examines the impact of a firm’s size on the relationship between CEO compensation and corporate performance. The results reveal a significant relationship between executive compensation and firm’s performance among the smaller sample firms.

Densities, viscosities and ultrasonic velocities were measured for the two ternary liquid mixtures containing morpholine (1) + 1,4-dioxane (2) + nitrobenzene (3) or + toluene (3) at 308.15 K over the entire range of mole fractions. Thermodynamic parameters, such as excess volume (VE), deviations in adiabatic compressibility (?KS), free length (?LF), isothermal compressibility (??T), free volume (?VF) and viscosity (??) were calculated and applied to the Redlich? Kister polynomial equation to determine the appropriate coefficients. The deviations of the ternary liquid mixtures from their ideal behaviour were determined from the measured and calculated thermodynamic properties. In addition, an insight into the molecular structure and possible interactions for the investigated mixtures was attempted.

ABSTRAKDi tengah banyaknya tantangan untuk dapat membesarkan anak dengan baik dan sesuai dengan harapan orang tua, para orang tua pun dihadapkan pada kenyataan maraknya berbagai permasalahan yang menimpa anak-anak. Ibu sebagai orang tua yang lebih banyak menghabiskan waktu bersama anak terutama pada saat anak berusia masih kecil dan sebagai sosok yang memegang peranan sebagai pengasuh dan pendidik di dalam keluarga menjadikan ibu memegang peranan penting dalam keluarga. Dalam situasi demikian, seorang ibu dituntut memiliki pengetahuan mengenai tahapan perkembangan anak. Faktor penting lainnya dalam pengasuhan adalah parenting self-efficacy yang dimaknai sebagai perkiraan orang tua terhadap kompetensi yang dimilikinya dalam perannya sebagai orang tua, atau persepsi orang tua terhadap kemampuannya untuk mempengaruhi perilaku dan perkembangan anak secara positif.Berdasarkan situasi tersebut, maka kegiatan pelatihan peningkatan kapasitas ibu menjadi seorang pembelajar dipandang sangat perlu untuk dilakukan, agar para ibu memiliki pengetahuan, sikap dan keterampilan yang terus berkembang dalam mengasuh dan mendidik anak-anaknya.ABSTRACTIn the midst of the many challenges to be able to raise children well and in accordance with the expectations of parents, the parents were faced with the fact of the rampant various problems that befell children.

Aiming to facilitate students with disabilities to do mobility and access on campus, so that students with disabilities can perform activities independently without any obstacles and constraints of its diffability. The existence of accessibility to the building of inadequate educational institutions creates a barrier for persons with disabilities. Accessibility in this study focused on the accessibility of people with physically disabled by taking the case of buildings located at the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) located in Jatinangor. The data collection method used is physical field observation, literature study taken from textbook, article, and internet exploration. The final conclusion shows that accessibility of institutional buildings still has not reached perfectly in accordance with existing standards to be accessible to persons with disabilities and not yet fulfilling accessibility principles; safety, convenience, usability, independence. However, some buildings have tried to present the elements of accessibility that is sufficient to provide convenience for the disabled as a user of the building.Abstrak Askesibilitas merupakan suatu komponen dari pelaksanaan Pendidikan inklusi yang harus dipenuhi. Bertujuan untuk memudahkan mahasiswa difabel untuk melakukan mobilitas dan akses yang ada di kampus, agar mahasiswa difabel dapat melakukan aktifitas secara mandiri tanpa hambatan dan kendala-kendala difabilitasnya. Keberadaan aksesibilitas pada bangunan institusi pendidikan yang belum memadai menimbulkan hambatan tersendiri bagi penyandang disabilitas. Aksesibilitas dalam kajian ini difokuskan kepada aksesibilitas pada penyandang Tunadaksa dengan mengambil kasus bangunan yang terdapat di Institut Teknolgi Bandung (ITB) yang berlokasi di Jatinangor. Metode pengambilan data yang digunakan adalah dengan observasi lapangan fisik, studi literatur yang diambil dari buku teks, artikel, dan penjelajahan internet. Hasil riset menunjukkan bahwa aksesibilitas bangunan institusi masih belum mencapai sempurna sesuai dengan standar yang ada untuk dapat diakses oleh penyandang tunadaksa serta belum memenuhi asas aksesibilitas; keselamatan, kemudahan, kegunaan, kemandirian. Namun, sebagian bangunan telah berusaha menghadirkan elemen-elemen aksesibilitas yang cukup memberikan kemudahan bagi penyandang Tunadaksa sebagai pengguna bangunan.

Jessenius’ contribution to social ethics in 17th century Central Europe
Authors: Šolcová Kateřina
Published: July 2018

The aim of the article is to examine and evaluate the social ethics aspects of the pamphlet Pro vindiciis contra tyrannos oratio by the scholar and rector of Prague University Jan Jesenský - Jessenius (1566-1621); first published in Frankfurt in 1614 and for the second time in Prague in 1620 during the Czech Estate Revolt. Therefore, the broader intellectual context of the time is introduced, specifically the conflict between two theories of ruling power correlating with that between the ruler and the Estates after the ideas of the Protestant reformation started to spread. The first theory supported the idea of a sovereign ruler whose authority would stand above the estates to be able to keep the kingdom under control. On the contrary, the so-called resistance theory strived to limit the monarch’s power and to justify a possible intervention against a malevolent ruler - the tyrant. I intend to show that Jessenius´ social ethics which refers to the latter resistance theory was of a premodern nature since its conception of State and its reign remained in a denominationally limited framework. Nevertheless; Jessenius’ polemics with the supporters of ruling sovereignty, which seem to be his original contribution, makes his writing a unique political work in Central Europe. Moreover, the second edition of Jessenius’ text (1620, Prague), which for a long time had disappeared from public view, can rightly be considered a remarkable projection of resistance theory toward actual political struggle at the very beginning of the Thirty Years War.
Ethics and politics of Great Moravia of the 9th century
Authors: Gluchman Vasil
Published: July 2018

The author studies the role of Christianity in two forms of 9th century political ethics in the history of Great Moravia, represented by the Great Moravian rulers Rastislav and Svatopluk. Rastislav’s conception predominantly uses the pre-Erasmian model of political ethics based on the pursuit of welfare for the country and its inhabitants by achieving the clerical-political independence of Great Moravia from the Frankish kingdom and, moreover, by utilising Christianity for the advancement of culture, education, literature, law and legality, as well as by spreading Christian ethics and morality in the form of the Christian code of ethics expressed in ethicallegal documents. Svatopluk’s political conception was a prototype of Machiavellian political ethics, according to which one is, in the interest of the country and its power and fame, allowed to be a lion and/or a fox. Svatopluk abused Christianity in the name of achieving his power-oriented goals. Great Moravia outlived Rastislav; it did not, however, outlive Svatopluk, as, shortly after his death, it broke up and ceased to exist. The author came to the conclusion that Rastislav’s conception was more viable, as its cultural heritage lives on in the form of works by Constantine and Methodius.

Stratigraphic Position of Tills in the Orłowo Cliff Section (Northern Poland): A New Approach
Authors: Woźniak Piotr Paweł , Sokołowski Robert J. , Czubla Piotr , Fedorowicz Stanisław
Published: July 2018

The site at Orłowo Cliff was used to analyse the stratigraphic position and palaeogeographic interpretations of the properties and depositional conditions of two basal tills from the Late Pleistocene. A multi-proxy approach involved lithofacies, petrographic analysis of the fine gravel fraction, analyses of indicator erratics and till fabric. TL dating of intra-moraine deposits was used to determine depositional time frames of tills. The sediment profile at Orłowo Cliff shows a distinct reduction in number of Pleistocene units. Obtained dating results suggest the presence of Middle and Late Pleistocene fluvial units. The main issue discussed is the stratigraphic position of the older till (Unit O-4). It can be assumed that this till was deposited probably during the Middle Weichselian (MIS4). At Orłowo Horn the till of Unit O-4 reveals incorporation of the erratic material derived from an older till in the surrounded area (according to petrographic composition - probably from MIS 8). The younger till (Unit O-6) was deposited in the Late Weichselian (MIS 2). Moreover, the till of Unit O-6 is characterised by a significant shift towards the south-west in terms of the erratic origin in Unit O-4.
