Sustainable Growth of International Financial Markets in the Context of International Capital Flows
Authors: Janicka Małgorzata
Published: March 2018

In relation to financial markets sustainable growth is usually understood in a simplified and one-dimensional way as a share of financial market in the flow of investment resources from investors to projects that form part of broadly understood corporate social responsibility (CSR). Sustainable growth is usually described as an interconnection of three elements: economy, society, and environment. In such an approach the point of gravity clearly shifts towards the environmental dimension (natural resources) and the impact of economic growth upon the environment. However, if we assume that sustainable development per se goes beyond environmental and social aspects, we need to consider whether we could interpret the idea of “sustainable growth of the financial market” in relation to how economic system operates. In the paper the approach in the context of changes that take place in international financial markets and their impact upon stability of relations in international economy is proposed. The interest focuses especially on one of these elements, i.e., changes in the volume and structure of international capital flows. Hence, the goal of the paper is to analyse selected international aspects of capital flows against the background of challenges to sustainable growth of the global economy.
Abolishing cash in Europe: the benefits and drawbacks of electronic transactions
Authors: Gikas Grigorios , Hyz Alina , Tagkas Periklis
Published: March 2018

Many proposals favouring cash abolition have emerged over the past few years. Their economic and social impact has not yet been analysed in depth. This paper aims to present the evolution of the means of payment during the last decades and to analyse the issue of cash abolition in European economies. The creation of a cashless economy would bring benefits, such as efficiency increase, as well as problems: the disturbance of money supply, instability of the foreign exchange rate, and so on. The paper discusses the reasons and arguments expressed by supporters and opponents of cash abolition and focuses on possible consequences, from the economic point of view. The advantages, disadvantages, benefits and costs associated with the possibility of removing cash from the economy are also described. Finally, a possible scenario for the future is analysed.
The pros and cons of the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) for the Southern African Development Community (SADC) in the context of Member States’ trade relations with the European Union (EU)
Authors: Czermińska Małgorzata , Garlińska-Bielawska Joanna
Published: March 2018

The article aims to present the benefits and costs for the SADC member countries of the conclusion of EPA and of the implementation of trade liberalisation thereunder, in the light of their trade relations with the European Union. The hypothesis adopted is that for the majority of the SADC countries entering into the agreement will involve improved access for their products to the EU market. The assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of the conclusion of an EPA will take account of a situation in which the countries of the region would not sign an EPA: how their customs status would change and whether it would affect the conditions of trade with the European Union.
Singular value decomposition analysis of back projection operator of maximum likelihood expectation maximization PET image reconstruction
Authors: Somai Vencel , Legrady David , Tolnai Gabor
Published: March 2018

Background

In emission tomography maximum likelihood expectation maximization reconstruction technique has replaced the analytical approaches in several applications. The most important drawback of this iterative method is its linear rate of convergence and the corresponding computational burden. Therefore, simplifications are usually required in the Monte Carlo simulation of the back projection step. In order to overcome these problems, a reconstruction code has been developed with graphical processing unit based Monte Carlo engine which enabled full physical modelling in the back projection.

Materials and methods

Code performance was evaluated with simulations on two geometries. One is a sophisticated scanner geometry which consists of a dodecagon with inscribed circle radius of 8.7 cm, packed on each side with an array of 39 × 81 LYSO detector pixels of 1.17 mm sided squares, similar to a Mediso nanoScan PET/CT scanner. The other, simplified geometry contains a 38,4mm long interval as a voxel space, detector pixels are assigned in two parallel sections each containing 81 crystals of a size 1.17×1.17 mm.

Results

We have demonstrated that full Monte Carlo modelling in the back projection step leads to material dependent inhomogeneities in the reconstructed image. The reasons behind this apparently anomalous behaviour was analysed in the simplified system by means of singular value decomposition and explained by different speed of convergence.

Conclusions

To still take advantage of the higher noise stability of the full physical modelling, a new filtering technique is proposed for convergence acceleration. Some theoretical considerations for the practical implementation and for further development are also presented.
In silico selection approach to develop DNA aptamers for a stem-like cell subpopulation of non-small lung cancer adenocarcinoma cell line A549
Authors: Vidic Mateja , Smuc Tina , Janez Nika , Blank Michael , Accetto Tomaz , Mavri Jan , Nascimento Isis C. , Nery Arthur A. , Ulrich Henning , Lah Tamara T.
Published: March 2018

Background

Detection of circulating lung cancer cells with cancer-stem like characteristics would represent an improved tool for disease prognosis. However, current antibodies based methods have some disadvantages and therefore cell SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment) was used to develop DNA aptamers, recognizing cell surface markers of non-small lung carcinoma (NSLC) cells.

Materials and methods

The human adenocarcinoma cell line A549 was used for selection in seven cell SELEX cycles. We used human blood leukocytes for negative selection, and lung stem cell protein marker CD90 antibody binding A549 cells for positive selection.

Results

The obtained oligonucleotide sequences after the seventh SELEX cycle were subjected to in silico selection analysis based on three independent types of bioinformatics approaches, selecting two closely related aptamer candidates in terms of consensus sequences, structural motifs, binding affinity (Kd) and stability (ΔG). We selected and identified the aptamer A155_18 with very good binding characteristics to A459 cells, selected for CD90 antibody binding. The calculated phylogenetic tree showed that aptamers A155_18 and the known A549 cell aptamer S6 have a close structural relationship. MEME sequence analysis showed that they share two unique motifs, not present in other sequences.

Conclusions

The novel aptamer A155_18 has strong binding affinity for A549 lung carcinoma cell line subpopulation that is expressing stem cell marker CD90, indicating a possible stemness, characteristic for the A459 line, or a subpopulation present within this cell line. This aptamer can be applied as diagnostic tool, identifying NSLC circulating cells.
Experience with The Use of Warm Mix Asphalt Additives in Bitumen Binders
Authors: Cápayová Silvia , Unčík Stanislav , Cihlářová Denisa
Published: March 2018

In most European countries, Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) technology is still being used as the standard for the production and processing of bituminous mixtures. However, from the perspective of environmental acceptability, global warming and greenhouse gas production, Slovakia is making an effort to put into practice modern technology, which is characterized by lower energy consumption and reducing negative impacts on the environment. Warm mix asphalt technologies (WMA), which have been verified at the Department of Transportation Engineering laboratory, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Slovak University of Technology (FCE, SUT) can provide the required mixture properties and can be used not only for the construction of new roads, but also for their renovation and reconstruction. The paper was created in cooperation with the Technical University of Ostrava, Czech Republic, which also deals with the addition of additives to asphalt mixtures and binders. It describes a comparison of the impact of some organic and chemical additives on the properties of commonly used bitumen binders in accordance with valid standards and technical regulations.

With the presence of the Internet, journalistic photography can provide an opportunity to be more noticed by various societies. Social media and other online media accessed by billions of people each day therefore the spread of journalistic photography are wider. In this case the role of photojournalists becomes more crucial, Rothman (2012) explains that the beginning of motivational photojournalist plunge in the world of journalism due to the insistence in their hearts to announce something that is so important therefore they want to make a change. In this research will be discussed some journalistic photography that raised certain themes using content and structure of journalistic photography with significant results, then become viral on the internet. Some journalistic photography can be viral and some are not. The focus of this research is to find out the reasons and similarities in some journalistic photography that became viral on the Internet. This research uses qualitative content analysis method. Samples were selected based on the virality factor, 4 journalistic photography were taken from various sources and photographed by photographer with different background too. The first photo has been mentioned for 1,890,000 times; the second photo has been mentioned for 32,900,000 times; the third has been accessed for 22,600,000 times and the last has been accessed for 25,270,000,000 times.

CORRELATION AND HERITABILITY ESTIMATION OF VARIOUS SEEDLING TRAITS IN BRASSICA NAPUS L. UNDER WATER DEFICIT CONDITIONS
Authors: Nazir Ahmad Asif Ali, Muhammad Zafar Iqbal, Muhammad Hayder Bin Khalid, , Bibi Ameer
Published: March 2018

Brassica napus L. contains edible oil ensuring safe limits for human health. But farmers prefer to use their fertile land for main crops and only marginal lands for oilseed. Those marginal lands usually face water scarcity and other a-biotic stresses that affect the normal growth and development of plant. Here we tested three levels of water deficit stress (control, medium and high) under controlled conditions. Seedlings were analyzed for various seedling traits to measure the relative effect of different levels water deficit stress. Graphical trends depicts that increasing level of water deficit stress causes declines in leaf area, root length, shoot length, fresh and dry weight of roots and shoots. Correlation coefficients exposed positive significant correlation of fresh shoot weight with chlorophyll contents, relative water contents, leaf area and shoot length at both genotypic and phenotypic level. Path coefficient analysis displayed high direct effects on fresh shoot weight were due to relative water content, root to shoot ratio. Chlorophyll contents, relative water content, leaf area, root length and shoot length showed high broad sense heritability (h2BS) coupled with high genetic advance (GA). These traits could be focused while breeding for water deficit conditions.

Opening a Discourse on Race Relations in New Zealand: The Fern and the Tiki Revisited
Authors: Kersey Harry A.
Published: March 2018

This article discusses the intellectual legacy of David P. Ausubel in Aotearoa-New Zealand. Some forty years after the American academic's provocative work The Fern and the Tiki first appeared in print it still evokes strong and mixed reactions from Pakeha and Maori alike. It certainly had a searing impact among a generation of New Zealanders who were in universities during the tumultuous civil rights dominated era of the 1960s and 1970s. Even those who have never read the book recognize the title, can name its author, and generally accord it some deference as a seminal work that should be read or reread.

'Typical of the New Zealand Occupational Distribution'?: A Reconsideration of Catholic Interwar Employment Patterns
Authors: Van der Krogt Christopher
Published: March 2018

During the 1920s and 1930s, New Zealand Catholics often characterised themselves as a relatively poor community, and mostly engaged in low paid, unskilled employment. In the 1970s, reflecting on the Church fifty years earlier, historian Ernest Simmons claimed that Catholics tried to explain their relative lack of social and career advancement by blaming the Masons and other opponents and by creating 'a myth that Catholics had always been poor'. In his seminal 1990 work on the Irish in New Zealand, Donald Akenson attempted to debunk this myth, declaring that 'the dead centre normality of Irish Catholics is striking' and that they were 'typical of the New Zealand occupational distribution'.

Culture and Colonization: Revisiting the Place of Writing in Colonial New Zealand
Authors: Ballantyne Tony
Published: March 2018

This essay attempts to untangle a central conceptual and analytical knot in recent New Zealand historical writing: the interrelationship between culture and colonization. It explores the ways in which approaches to New Zealand's colonial past have been transformed over the past 25 years and attempts to historicize these shifts by framing them against international intellectual developments and the cultural and political currents that reconfigured visions of the past in these islands. The essay then offers an assessment of a key preoccupation of recent scholarship: the relationships between writing and colonization. This discussion identifies some limitations of the existing work as well as underscoring where it does have real analytical purchase, before closing by pointing to some possible paths for future work. These new lines of inquiry, I argue, not only require us to ask some new questions about the cultural work writing did in a colonial context, but also necessitate a reassessment of how colonization actually worked on the ground.
New Zealand Legal History and New Zealand Historians: A Non-meeting of Minds
Authors: Boast Richard
Published: March 2018

This article is about New Zealand legal historiography. This is a thriving, if relatively new sub-field of New Zealand historical studies - a new kid on the historical block as it were. For it remains the case that the law has not penetrated very deeply into the consciousness of historians who teach in the history departments (as opposed to we historians who earn our daily bread in the law schools: although our interests are no less historical and historiographical, we do find ourselves distracted by having to teach complicated courses on the law of real property or equitable obligations to crowded classrooms of law students).
Shame and Its Histories in the Twentieth Century
Authors: Brookes Barbara
Published: March 2018

Human emotions have been described as 'a map of our values'.2 In this paper I want to argue for a new direction in our history that takes emotions seriously. What role did hope play, for example, in propelling immigrants to this side of the world? What was the emotional content of the conversion experience that led some Maori to adopt Christianity? How do we understand desire as a motivating force for people's actions in the past?
Bishops, Boozers, Brethren and Burkas: Towards a Cartoon History of Religion in New Zealand
Authors: Grimshaw Mike
Published: March 2018

In his 1941 centennial survey of New Zealand, Oliver Duff observed, 'We are not Puritan enough to take our pleasures sadly, but we take them very seriously'. Duff's comments offer a useful starting point for the investigation of cartoons in New Zealand history. Cartoons - that is, editorial cartoons - are a serious pleasure, a type of puritanical corruption of a Protestant sensibility. They are an act of protest, commonplace in the main, but expressed in such a manner as to make the commonplace interesting. Ingvild Saelifd Gilhus, in her study on laughter in the history of religion, refers to Bakhtin's description of carnival laughter as virtually an alternative to religion. Carnival laughter is 'cathartic and salvific, an expression of rebellion aimed at the religious authorities and their institutions, past and present'. This essay seeks to explore the ways that the carnivalistic humour of the cartoon has represented religion in New Zealand over the past 150 years, aiming to lay the ground work for developing a cartoon history of religion in our society.
Future Directions for the Study of Migration and Ethnicity in New Zealand: Comparative, Transnational and Multidisciplinary Approaches to Records of Insanity
Authors: McCarthy Angela
Published: March 2018

In his 1990 publication on Irish migration to New Zealand, historian Don Akenson recommended various approaches available for the study of ethnic history, such as demographic analysis, institutional history, community studies and biographical sketches. He also identified particular themes for investigating the Irish in New Zealand, including women, religion, sectarianism, community studies and intermarriage with Maori. Such topics could equally be applied to other ethnic groups. Intriguingly, Akenson failed to propose comparative investigation of diverse migrant groups as a research agenda. Indeed, with a few exceptions, the extant historiography of migration and ethnicity in New Zealand is notable for its focus on one national or ethnic group, with little comparative engagement, either nationally or internationally. As such, there exist individual works relating to the Scots, the Irish, the Chinese, and Indians, among others. Individual articles in edited collections containing contributions about various ethnicities are also predominantly confined to one group rather than the pursuit of comparison.
As Real as the Spice Girls: Representing Identity in Twenty-first Century New Zealand Literature
Authors: Mercer Erin
Published: March 2018

The concept of authenticity has long been inextricable from identity in Aotearoa New Zealand, ever since Allen Curnow famously urged midtwentieth century artists to focus on the local and the specific in order to create an island nation clearly differentiated from Britain. Recent writers, however, particularly in works that have appeared since the turn of the century, are increasingly questioning just what 'authenticity' means in relation to identity. There is a marked contrast between the part-Maori, part-Pakeha protagonist in Keri Hulmes' 1984 novel the bone people, who explains that 'by blood, flesh, and inheritance, I am but an eighth Maori, by heart, spirit, and inclination, I feel all Maori', and the Fijian New Zealander in Toa Fraser's 1999 play No. 2, who insists that her Nanna is 'about as real Fijian as the Spice Girls'. Writers such as Fraser, Paula Morris and Eleanor Cattan represent identity not as inherent or authentic but as constructed and performed.
Banner Headlines: The Maori Flag Debate in Comparative Perspective
Authors: Morris Ewan
Published: March 2018

Consider these statements. On the one hand: '[H]e did not agree with flying the tino rangatiratanga flag because it argued the case of Maori sovereignty, when the Treaty was all about being equal citizens'. 'Maori enjoyed equal citizenship and did not need special treatment, either by having special Maori seats or by having a separate Maori flag fly above public venues.' 'Kiwis should come under a single flag in public places - the current ensign of New Zealand.' On the other hand: 'I can see no particular reason why we wouldn't fly a flag off the Auckland Harbour Bridge and indeed off other prominent government buildings, namely Parliament . . . We are flying a Maori flag, as just another small symbolic step forward in the partnership that was the treaty . . . New Zealanders have a sense of pride that we are doing well in race relations, that is just another step in the partnership'.
Hawhekaihe: Maori Voices on the Position of 'Half-castes' Within Maori Society
Authors: Paterson Lachy
Published: March 2018

Racial difference underpinned the existence of the New Zealand colonial state. Frantz Fanon suggests that colonial societies are by nature 'Manichaean', founded on the division of the colonizer and colonized and on 'belonging to or not belonging to a given race, a given species'. Fanon's comment implies that more than just skin colour or cultural difference separates the colonizer and colonized - rather, that the two groups are deemed to be different according to nature. Indeed, assumptions about 'natural' racial divisions were prevalent in the colonial New Zealand press: for example, the British were said to possess an 'innate governing capacity' and 'Imperial genius'. In contrast, newspaper contributors asserted that the inherent character of the Māori lent itself, at times, to violence, mendacity, suspicion, avarice, wastefulness, indolence, barbarism and cunning, although it was possible for the 'innate ferocity of character [of the Māori]...[to] be worn down by contact with our matured civilization'.

Mr Kellom Tomlinson, English Dancing Master
Authors: Duncum Ken
Published: March 2018

Sonnerie, the Wellington-based baroque music and dance ensemble, designed a programme to premiere the dances from the Tomlinson Workbook, in a 1989 Wellington season which was then followed by a North Island tour. The six dances, if performed on their own, would have lasted mere minutes. (The man's solo sarabande was not used but the Tomlinson version of the minuet was included.) Ken Duncum was commissioned to write a play based on the few known facts of Tomlinson's life, incorporating the dances at key points of the script. By separating the dances and providing them with a dramatic context, the play serves to highlight the distinctive quality of each.
