Osnovne značajke kaznenopravne zaštite protiv korupcije u talijanskom zakonodavstvu, doktrini i sudskoj praksi
Authors: Galiot Mijo
Published: July 2018

Politika sprečavanja činjenja kaznenih djela, a poglavito korupcijskih djela u koje spada i davanje mita kao tipično takvo djelo, od izuzetne je važnosti za svaki uređeni pravni sustav. Središnji dio te politike predstavlja kaznenopravna politika. O uspješnosti te politike umnogome ovisi cjelokupan politički i gospodarski razvoj svake pojedine zemlje. U prilog znanstvenoj raspravi, a s ciljem da bi domaća kaznena politika suzbijanja korupcijskih kaznenih djela bila što učinkovitija, u radu se analizira kazneno zakonodavstvo Republike Italije s obzirom na pitanje aktivnog podmićivanja kao jednog od temeljnih oblika koruptivnog ponašanja. Prikazujući komparativno uređenje talijanskog kaznenog sustava, koji, kao i hrvatski, pripada europskim kontinentalnim kaznenim pravnim sustavima, autor će se osvrnuti na temeljne sličnosti i razlike pravnog uređenja aktivnog podmićivanja u Republici Italiji u odnosu na domaći pravni sustav.

New Models of Content Creation and Scholarship at the Intersection of Library Spaces, Technologies, and Expertise
Authors: Nutt Mike , Raschke Gregory
Published: July 2018

Library spaces that blend collaboration areas, advanced technologies, and librarian expertise are creating new modes of scholarly communication. These spaces enable scholarship created within high-definition, large-scale visual collaborative environments. This emergent model of scholarly communication can be experienced within those specific contexts or through digital surrogates on the networked Web. From experiencing in three dimensions the sermons of John Donne in 1622 to interactive media interpretations of American wars, scholars are partnering with libraries to create immersive digital scholarship. Viewing the library as a research platform for these emergent forms of digital scholarship presents several opportunities and challenges. Opportunities include re-engaging faculty in the use of library space, integrating the full life-cycle of the research enterprise, and engaging broad communities in the changing nature of digitally-driven scholarship. Issues such as identifying and filtering collaborations, strategically managing staff resources, creating surrogates of immersive digital scholarship, and preserving this content for the future present an array of challenges for libraries that require coordination across organizations. From engaging and using high-technology spaces to documenting the data and digital objects created, this developing scholarly communication medium brings to bear the multifaceted skills and organizational capabilities of libraries.
How children use accuracy information to infer informant intentions and to make reward decisions
Authors: Ronfard Samuel , Nelson Laura , Dunham Yarrow , Blake Peter
Published: July 2018

Assessing the value of the information one receives and the intentions of the source of that information can be used to establish cooperative relationships and to identify cooperative partners. Across two experiments, four- to eight-year-old children (N=204) received a note with correct, incorrect, or no information that affected their efforts on a search task. Children were told that all informants had played the game before and knew the location of the hidden reward. In the no information condition, children were told that the informant had to leave before finishing the note and thus was not intentionally uninformative. Children rated the note with correct information as more helpful than the note with no information; incorrect information was rated least helpful. When asked about the informant’s intentions, children attributed positive intentions when the information was correct and when they received unhelpful information but knew the informant was not intentionally uninformative. Children attributed less positive intentions to the informant when they received incorrect information. When given the chance to reward the informant, children rewarded the informant who provided correct information and no information equally; the informant who provided incorrect information received fewer rewards. Combined, these results suggest that young children assume that informants have positive intentions. However, when the information provided is clearly inaccurate, children infer more negative intentions and reward those informants at lower rates. These results suggest that children tend to reward informants more based on their presumed intentions placing less weight on the value of the information they provide.
Computing Bayes Factors for Evidence-Accumulation Models Using Warp-III Bridge Sampling
Authors: Gronau Quentin Frederik , Heathcote Andrew , Matzke Dora
Published: July 2018

Over the last decade, the Bayesian estimation of evidence-accumulation models has gained popularity, largely due to the advantages afforded by the Bayesian hierarchical framework. Despite recent advances in the Bayesian estimation of evidence-accumulation models, model comparison continues to rely on suboptimal procedures, such as posterior parameter inference and model selection criteria known to favor overly complex models. In this paper we advocate model comparison for evidence-accumulation models based on the Bayes factor obtained via Warp-III bridge sampling. We demonstrate, using the Linear Ballistic Accumulator (LBA), that Warp-III sampling provides a powerful and flexible approach that can be applied to both nested and non-nested model comparisons, even in complex and high-dimensional hierarchical instantiations of the LBA. We provide an easy-to-use software implementation of the Warp-III sampler and outline a series of recommendations aimed at facilitating the use of Warp-III sampling in practical applications.

This article provides recommendations for writing empirical journal articles that enable transparency, reproducibility, clarity, and memorability. Recommendations for transparency include preregistering methods, hypotheses, and analyses; submitting registered reports; distinguishing confirmation from exploration; and showing your warts. Recommendations for reproducibility include documenting methods and results fully and cohesively, by taking advantage of open-science tools, and citing sources responsibly. Recommendations for clarity include writing short paragraphs, composed of short sentences; writing comprehensive abstracts; and seeking feedback from a naive audience. Recommendations for memorability include writing narratively; embracing the hourglass shape of empirical articles; beginning articles with a hook; and synthesizing, rather than Mad Libbing, previous literature.
Are Overconfident CEOs Better Innovators?
Authors: Hirshleifer David , Low Angie , Teoh Siew Hong
Published: July 2018

Previous empirical work on adverse consequences of CEO overconfidence raises the question of why firms would hire overconfident managers. Theoretical research suggests a reason, that overconfidence can sometimes benefit shareholders by increasing investment in risky projects. Using options- and press-based proxies for CEO overconfidence, we find that over the 1993-2003 period, firms with overconfident CEOs have greater return volatility, invest more in innovation, obtain more patents and patent citations, and achieve greater innovative success for given research and development (R&D) expenditure. Overconfident managers only achieve greater innovation than non-overconfident managers in innovative industries. Our findings suggest that overconfidence may help CEOs exploit innovative growth opportunities.Presentation slides at https://ssrn.com/abstract=3190958.
Überlegungen zur Nutzung von PHAIDRA als Repositorium für digitale archäologische Daten
Authors: Hagmann Dominik
Published: July 2018

Im Allgemeinen sind archäologische Daten durch eine Vielzahl an Datentypen und Dateiformaten geprägt, die unterschiedliche Inhalte speichern. Hier spannt sich der Bogen etwa von Texten und tabellarisch erfassten quantitativen Daten über Objektfotografien bis hin zu Vektorgrafiken sowie den immer beliebteren 3D-Modellen. Diese ausgeprägte Diversität ist der Anwendung verschiedener Methoden und der Umsetzung vielfältiger Ansätze in der archäologischen Forschung geschuldet. So generieren archäologische Surveys (Oberfächenfundaufsammlungen) andere Daten als Ausgrabungen, luftbildarchäologische Maßnahmen oder geophysikalische Prospektionen. Je nach Projekt kommen zudem noch zahlreiche nachträglich digitalisierte, d.h. ursprünglich analog angefertigte Ressourcen hinzu, die ihrerseits abermals sehr heterogene Informationen abbilden können. Die Herausforderung in der Langzeitarchivierung dieser inhomogenen Datensätze liegt unter anderem im Vorhandensein eines Repositoriums, das die verschiedenen Datentypen effektiv aufnehmen und zudem innerhalb des Ar-chivs sinnvoll in Beziehung zueinander setzen kann. Diese Voraussetzungen sind im System PHAIDRA der Universität Wien gegeben, weswegen es dadurch möglich ist, komplexe archäologische Datensätze dort nachhaltig verfügbar zu machen.

Carcinoma de células escamosas em felino: relato de caso
Authors: BIONI LUCILO BIONI DA FONSECA FILHO
Published: July 2018

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), also known as squamous cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma, is a cutaneous malignant neoplasm that appears frequently in felines, presenting in this species a distinct behavior of the other species. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light seems to be one of the etiologic factors of the disease, just as the hypopigmented and low-hair areas are the most affected. The color of the coat is one of the predisposing factors, it is known that white-coated cats are more likely to present the disease when compared to the pigmented ones. Regarding localization, most of the lesions are observed in the head and more often in the nasal plane, followed by the auricles and eyelids, and may present in varied forms as proliferative or erosive. The diagnostic suspicion comes through the history and clinical characteristics of the lesions, but for diagnostic definition cytological and histopathological examination is necessary. Precocity in diagnosis has a fundamental effect on prognosis. There are several treatment modalities for squamous cell carcinoma including surgery, ionizing radiation, chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, electrochemotherapy and cryosurgery. Cryosurgery consists of the controlled use of low temperatures in order to induce cell death. The objective of this work was to report two cases of felines diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma treated with different protocols. Animal 1 is a 10-year-old, male, 10-year-old male with ulcerative lesion in the nasal plane for approximately 6 months, attended at the Veterinary Clinic in Olinda-PE. The diagnosis was made through a cytological examination, identifying squamous cell carcinoma. The treatment established was cryosurgery, but the animal did not receive a favorable treatment response, probably due to the delay in the search for veterinary care, which delayed the diagnosis and consequently aggravated the neoplastic lesion making it difficult to treat. The animal was submitted to euthanasia after worsening of its clinical condition, 2 months after starting the treatment. Animal 2 is a 14-year-old undefined female feline with ulcerative lesion in the left ear. The diagnosis was made through cytology and histopathology. The established treatment was surgery. To date, the animal has not had any complications.

The Preacher of the Meccan Qur'an: Deuteronomistic History and Confessionalism in Muḥammad's Early Preaching
Authors: Saleh Walid A.
Published: July 2018

There has been a trend in recent scholarship on the Qur'an to downplay the role of Muḥammad in delivering and preaching the Qur'an, such that one is almost presented with a disembodied Qur'an which has no relationship to his prophetic career. The disappearance of Muḥammad from the Qur'an, and the pretence that there is no preacher, allows for a radical rereading of the text, such that one can then claim not only that it is an outgrowth of a Christian preaching environment, but that the Qur'an's main audience was a Biblically-saturated community. However, there is also a more serious issue at hand. Our Fragestellung about what the Qur'an has to tell us about Muḥammad is problematic. It seeks to reconstruct his life in the manner of a nineteenth-century biography, outlining a linear and comprehensive life-story. The Qur'an is unlike the Gospels, we are repeatedly told: there is no sustained biography of Muḥammad there to be found, and no chronological order to its parts. Indeed, the mantra that the Qur'an does not tell us much about Muḥammad is now a truism in Qur'anic studies. However, the Qur'an is packed with information about Muḥammad: it is actually a record of his preaching.

In this article I will investigate the most important details we can find in the Qur'an about Muḥammad, and assess the image of the preacher of the Qur'an as fashioned there. I will then develop the historical implications of my analysis, and show that when we analyse the information in the Qur'an we can obtain historical information about Muḥammad, his community, and their respective ideas. The analysis will be confined to the image of Muḥammad in the Meccan parts of the Qur'an: the topic of his image in the Medinan Qur'an is a matter for another study.

Published: July 2018

Soft robotics is a branch of robotics that deals with mechatronics and electromechanical systems primarily made of soft materials. This paper presents a summary of a chronicle study of various soft robotic hand exoskeletons, with different electroencephalography (EEG)- and electromyography (EMG)-based instrumentations and controls, for rehabilitation and assistance in activities of daily living. A total of 45 soft robotic hand exoskeletons are reviewed. The study follows two methodological frameworks: a systematic review and a chronological review of the exoskeletons. The first approach summarizes the designs of different soft robotic hand exoskeletons based on their mechanical, electrical and functional attributes, including the degree of freedom, number of fingers, force transmission, actuation mode and control strategy. The second approach discusses the technological trend of soft robotic hand exoskeletons in the past decade. The timeline analysis demonstrates the transformation of the exoskeletons from rigid ferrous materials to soft elastomeric materials. It uncovers recent research, development and integration of their mechanical and electrical components. It also approximates the future of the soft robotic hand exoskeletons and some of their crucial design attributes.

Knowledge about the origin and evolutionary history of the bison has been improved recently owing to several genomic and paleogenomic studies published in the last two years, which elucidated large parts of the evolution of bison populations during the Upper Pleistocene and Holocene in Eurasia. The produced data, however, were interpreted in contradicting manners. Here, we have gathered, reanalyzed and compared previously published or unpublished morphometric and genetic data that have not yet been integrated and that we synthesize in a unified framework. In particular, we re-estimate dates of divergence of mitogenome lineages based on an extended dataset comprising 81 complete ancient bison mitogenomes and we revisit putative gene flow between the Bos and Bison genera based on comparative analyses of ancient and modern bison genomes, thereby questioning published conclusions. Morphometric analyses taking into account sexual dimorphism invalidate a previous claim that Bison schoetensacki was present in France during the Late Pleistocene. Both morphometric and genome analyses reveal that Eurasian bison belonging to different Bison priscus and Bison bonasus lineages maintained parallel evolutionary paths with gene flow during a long period of incomplete speciation that ceased only upon the migration of B. priscus to the American continent establishing the American bison lineage. Our nuclear genome analysis of the evolutionary history of B. bonasus allows us to reject the previous hypothesis that it is a hybrid of B. priscus and Bos primigenius. Based on present-day behavioral studies of European and American bison, we propose that apparently conflicting lines of evidence can be reconciled by positing that female bison drove the specialization of bison populations to different ecological niches while male bison drove regular homogenizing genetic exchanges between populations.
The Geometry Effect of Cathode/Anode Areas Ratio on Electrochemical Performance of Button Fuel Cell Using Mixed Conducting Materials

Published: July 2018

Intermediate temperature (IT) fuel cells using mixed conducting materials have been reported by many researchers by adopting different compositions, microstructures, manufacture processes and testing conditions. Most iop-Vop relationships of these button electrochemical devices are experimentally achieved based on anode or cathode surface area (i.e., Aan≠Aca). In this paper, a 3D multi-physics model for a typical IT solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) that carefully considers detail electrochemical reaction, electric leakage, and e−, ion and gas transporting coupling processes has been developed and verified to study the effect of Aca/Aan on button cell iop-Vop performance. The result shows that the over zone of the larger electrode can enhance charges and gas transport capacities within a limited scale of only 0.03 cm. The over electrode zone exceed this width would be inactive. Thus, the active zone of button fuel cell is restricted within the smaller electrode area min(Aan, Aca) due to the relative large disc radius and thin component layer. For a specified Vop, evaluating the responded iop by dividing output current Iop with min(Aan, Aca) for a larger value is reasonable to present real performance in the current device scale of cm. However, while the geometry of button cells or other electrochemical devices approach the scale less than 100 μm, the effect of over electrode zone on electrochemical performance should not be ignored.
A Multi-Agent System-Based Approach for Optimal Operation of Building Microgrids with Rooftop Greenhouse
Authors: Choi Il-Seok , Hussain Akhtar , Bui Van-Hai , Kim Hak-Man
Published: July 2018

In this paper, an optimal energy management scheme for building microgrids with rooftop greenhouse is proposed. A building energy management system (BEMS) is utilized for the optimal fulfilment of energy demands in the building and the greenhouse. The exhaust heat generated due to the operation of air conditioners in the building is used for fulfilling the cooling demands of the greenhouse via chillers. In addition to thermal and cooling demands, the four major control parameters (temperature, humidity, light intensity, and CO2 concentration) are also considered for optimal growth of crops in the greenhouse. A multi-agent system (MAS) is adopted to realize the interaction among several households of the building, the greenhouse, and the BEMS. The MAS comprises of several inner-level, intermediate level, and upper-level agents, which are responsible for their respective tasks. The performance of the proposed optimization strategy is evaluated for two seasons of a year, i.e., summer and winter. Numerical simulations have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed operation scheme for optimal operation of building microgrids with rooftop greenhouses.
Impact of Non-Timber Forest Product Use on the Tree Community in North-Western Vietnam
Authors: Dao Thi Hoa Hong , Hölscher Dirk
Published: July 2018

Trees providing non-timber forest products (NTFPs) are valuable forest resources, and their management can support conservation objectives. We analyzed the abundance of tree species providing NTFPs, recognized by local H’mong people, in both the strictly protected core zone and the low-intensity forest use buffer zone in north-western Vietnam. We identified 249 tree species, of which 48% were classified as NTFP species. The abundance of 35% of the NTFP tree species was significantly correlated with footpaths, indicating an influence of human activity. A multiple logistic regression model indicates that using NTFP trees for food, medicine, and root harvesting, increases the probability of an NTFP tree absence in the buffer zone. In contrast, the high density of species, and collections of fruit, leaf, and resin decrease the probability of an NTFP tree absence in the buffer zone. Further assessment with a logistic model indicated that NTFP use has lower impacts on the tree community than timber use. We think that the parameterized models will enable comparisons of different situations and forest types and be particularly helpful in evaluating potential changes in tree communities over time.
Evaluation of the Water-Storage Capacity of Bryophytes along an Altitudinal Gradient from Temperate Forests to the Alpine Zone
Authors: Oishi Yoshitaka
Published: July 2018

Forests play crucial roles in regulating the amount and timing of streamflow through the water storage function. Bryophytes contribute to this increase in water storage owing to their high water-holding capacity; however, they might be severely damaged by climate warming. This study examined the water storage capacity (WSC) of bryophytes in forests in the mountainous areas of Japan. Sampling plots (100 m2) were established along two mountainous trails at 200-m altitude intervals. Bryophytes were sampled in these plots using 100-cm2 quadrats, and their WSC was evaluated according to the maximum amount of water retained in them (WSC-quadrat). The total amount of water in bryophytes within each plot (WSC-plot) was then calculated. The WSC-quadrat was affected by the forms of bryophyte communities (life forms) and their interactions, further influencing soil moisture. The WSC-quadrat did not show any significant trend with altitude, whereas, the highest WSC-plot values were obtained in subalpine forests. These changes to WSC-plot were explained by large differences in bryophyte cover with altitude. As the WSC controlled by the life forms might be vulnerable to climate warming, it can provide an early indicator of how bryophyte WCS and associated biological activities are influenced.
