Dalmacija u književnom djelu Iga Kaša
Authors: Barbarić Štefan
Published: September 2018

Dalmacija se kao slavenska zemlja spominje već u najstarije doba slovenske književnosti, u predgovorima knjiga protestantskih pisaca Trubara, Dalmatina i Bohoriča.' Promatrajući njihov interes za Slavenski Jug, ne možemo previdjeti udio i utjecaj knjige čuvenog evropskog putnika Zige Her- bersteina »Rerum Moscovitarum commentari!« (Beč 1549, njemački prijevod 1557), knjige koja, osim što otkriva rusku carsku državu i njezine prostrane ravnice, izvodi također zaključak o srodnosti slavenskih jezika i naroda, medu koje ubraja i Dalmatince. Kako je Dalmacija u to doba pred najezdom turske velesile Sulejmana Veličanstvenog i njegovih nasljednika bila skučena na otoke i uski obalni pojas, te je bila pobliže slabo poznata, ipak se ona tada i poslije u publikacijama slovenskih pisaca nabraja kao integralni dio golemog slavenskog svijeta. Spomenuti valja da čak ni perifernomu prekomurskom protestantskom prevodiocu Novog zavjeta (1771) nije izmaklo da u redoslijedu slavenskih zemalja navede i Dalmaciju.
O fonološkom sustavu suvremenog standardnog hrvatskosrpskog jezika
Authors: Brozović Dalibor
Published: September 2018

Prije svega moram reći da još ne postoji sustavna, detaljna i cje- lovita fonološka obrada hrvatskosrpskog standardnog jezika — iako mu je u povijesti fonologije davana u raznim fazama izuzetno velika pažnja: dovoljno je da spomenemo njegovu ulogu u radovima Tru- beckoga i Romana Jakobsona. Ipak već postoji dovoljan broj pojedi- načnih studija što obrađuju konkretne probleme hrvatskosrpske fonologije ili njezine pojedine dijelove,1 i zato je moguće dati sažet i zaokružen prikaz našega fonološkog sustava.
Jedan drugi slučaj logičkoga akcenta riječi
Authors: Kravar Miroslav
Published: September 2018

U svome radu objavljenom prije nekoliko godina u Ivšićevu zborniku pod naslovom O logičkom akcentu riječi u srpskohrvat- skoin« nastojao sam pokazati kako se tzv. logički akcenat, vrsta ac- cent-a d’insistance, kojega je djelovanje na području rečenice opće poznata stvar, očituje u nas i na području riječi ako se ova da anali- zirati kao složen znak ili sintagma svoje vrste? Tamo je bilo govora o našim imenskim s lo ž e n ic a m a domaćega podrijetla kojima je prvi dio ili, kakav prefiks puna značenja ili također kakav imenski element, a nastaju najčešće prema stranim uzorima. Naši rječnici postupaju s akcentom takvih riječi dosta slobodno i više ili manje različito? To biva stoga što se on koleba između postojećih foneti- čkih modela i logičkoga pritiska, već prema tome da li se složenica osjeća kao leksička cjelina ili se kao takva analizira sintagmatski, na osnovi tzv. »asocijativnih nizova« riječi.
Gramatička degradacija
Authors: Suzanić Vjekoslav
Published: September 2018

Gramatička teorija operira hijerarhijskim redom sintagmi, u ko- jem svaka sintagma (osim najniže) ima strukturu i sastoji se od jedne ili više od jedne sintagme slijedećega nižega stupnja. Strukturu čine elementi, a njihovi eksponenti su sintagme, pa svaka sintagma (osim najviše) može funkcionirati u strukturi sintagme slijedećega višega stupnja. Teorija dopušta i mogućnost vertikalnoga pomaka na hijerar- hijskoj ljestvici, kad sintagma ne funkcionira na svom »redovnom« mjestu, nego je eksponent elementa u strukturi sintagme kojega nižega stupnja. Za takvu se sintagmu može kazati da je degradirana. Različiti oblici degradacije i problemi u vezi s njima predmet su ovih razmatranja. Kao osnova poslužit će engleski jezični materijal.
Dalji njemački elementi u Zmajevu pjesništvu
Authors: Milović Jevto
Published: September 2018

U toku svoga stvaralačkog rada Zmaj je mnogo i prevodio sa stran o jezika na srpskohrvatski. On je prepjevavao ne samo pjesnike prvoga i drugoga nego i pjesnike trećega i četvrtoga reda. Najviše se služio njemačkim izvorima. Kao veliki liričar rado je prevodio lirske njemačke pjesnike, a kao strastvena pjesnika slobode, bratstva i jednakosti, privlačili su ga i mnogi njemački slobodoumni pisci, pa je i njihove pjesme prerađivao. S oduševljenjem je prevodio one njemačke pjesme koje su odgovarale tadanjem društveno-pol-tičkom stanju u Srbiji, Vojvodini i Hrvatskoj. Prenosio je na naše tlo one motive iz njemačke dječje književnosti koje je smatrao prikladnima za odgoj naše djece od ranoga djetinjstva pa sve do omladinskoga doba Njemačke dječje pjesme prekrajao je na svoj način, prilagođavao našim prilikama i nastojao da ih uskladi s naprednim idejnim stremljenjima svoga vremena. Rijetko se držao vjerno originala, ali je često prerađivao, proširivao i istezao izvorni tekst. Ispred naslova mnogih svojih prijevoda i prepjeva stavljao je oznake »po nemačkom«, »po mađarskom« ili »prevedeno«.

O stanju teksta hrvatskoga >>Homera<<
Authors: Kravar Miroslav
Published: September 2018

Već poodavno, prije pet godina, pojavio se Maretićev prijevod Homerovih epa u novom izdanja, i to Ilijada u Šestom, a Odiseja u petom, i ovoga puta u redakciji pok, profesora Ivšića, koiji se i za života prevodiočeva, a napose poslije njegove smrti, bavio niz godina redigiranjem teksta dvaju prijevoda. Od pojave novoga izdanja do danas nije u nas, koliko mi je poznato, pisano posebno ni o značenju lako vrijedna prijevoda kao što je Maretićev Homer, koji doživljuje za naše prilike zavidan broj izdanja, ni o rezultatima daljnjih zahvata Ivšićevih u tekst dvaju prijevoda? To je očit dokaz da naša obrazovana javnost rado čita homorske pjesme, ali da ne prati s dovoljno pažnje napore koji joj to omogućuju.
O akcentu složenica u hrvatskosrpskom jeziku
Authors: Anić Vladimir
Published: September 2018

Osnovne zakonitosti akcenta najbolje se raspoznaju na tradicionalnom, autohtonom leksiku, na kojem su i kodificirane. Ali, akcentologija, mada svjesna nemalih teškoća u savladavanju književnog akcenta i zaokupljena nastavno-praktičnim problemima, ipak dospijeva pokloniti pažnju pojavama koje probijaju osnovne kodifika- cijske ograde: jednosložna riječ ima silazni akcenat, silazni akcenat ne stoji na srednjem slogu, posljednji slog nema akcenta, jedna riječ ima jedan akcenat.
Genetički, tipološki i standardološki kriteriji u klasifikaciji romanskih jezika
Authors: Muljačić Žarko
Published: September 2018

Prije prijelaza na samu stvar potrebno' je dati nekoliko prethodnih terminoloških objašnjenja u skladu s najnovijim pogledima na dvije vrste idioma, »organske« i »anorganske«.Dijasistem s rangom jezika (skraćeno jezik-dijasistem) nije isto što i standardni jezik (skraćeno standard). Ima, naime, slučajeva da .su iz dijelova istog jezika-dijasistema nastala dva standardna jezika (ili više njih). Kad bi, na primjer, vlada Republike San Marino odlučila da na osnovi sanmarinskog dijalekta formira poseban standard i kad bi tu svoju odluku provela u djelo, dobili bismo nov romanski standardni jezik koji bi, lingvistički govoreći, i dalje imao kao osnovicu talijanski dijasistem.Dvojstvu jezik-dijasistem ~ standardni jezik treba da odgovara, i na razini skupina tih fenomena, dvostruka terminologija. U opreci s jezičnim obiteljima mogu se razlikovati asocijacije standardnih jezika. U našem ćemo slučaju imati romansku jezičnu obitelj (skraćeno nazvanu i Romanija) s jedne, a asocijaciju romanskih standardnih jezika s druge strane. U tu asocijaciju spadaju svi jezici kojima su i struktura i supstancija bitno romanske.Termin idiom upotrebljavat će se uvijek kada ne želimo precizirati tip jezične individualnosti i rang koji ona ima unutar svog tipa. Stoga su, lato sensu, svi članovi kako jezične obitelji (comu- nitas), tako jezične asocijacije (societas) idiomi.

Effects of combined growth hormone and testosterone treatments in a rat model of micropenis
Authors: Oh Jin Kyu , Im Young Jae , Park Kwanjin , Paick Jae-Seung
Published: September 2018

Although it is well known that penile growth is dependent on androgens, few clinical studies have reported successful treatment of micropenis with testosterone, likely due to concerns regarding the efficacy and safety of prolonged testosterone use. Thus, we assessed the synergenic effects of growth hormone (GH) treatments with and without testosterone on phallic growth in a rat model of micropenis. Fifty Sprague–Dawley rats were assigned to control (C), microphallus (MP), testosterone, GH (G) and GH plus testosterone (GT) treatment groups, and microphallus was induced by secondary hypogonadism. Pre-pubertal treatments with testosterone, GH or the combination were initiated from 7 days after birth and were maintained until 12 weeks of age. To assess the efficacy of treatments, phallic dimensions were determined and histological markers of cavernosal integrity were evaluated. Skeletal and gonadal safety profiles of the treatments were then assessed according to right tibial lengths and testicular weights, respectively. No monotreatments normalised penile dimensions, whereas combination treatments led to complete restoration. The combination treatment also prevented decreases in histological indicators of cavernosal integrity, including smooth muscle actin and collagen III expression levels and fat globule accumulation and sinusoidal density. These synergenic effects of GH treatments on penile growth may follow changes in androgen receptor expression levels and were accompanied by decreased testicular volume losses. Although the physiological conditions of phallic growth differ between humans and rats, this proof-of-concept study provides a strategy for circumventing the problems of testosterone monotherapy for human micropenis.
Compilación de oligonucleótidos para la detección y clasificación de fitoplasmas
Authors: Araujo-Ruiz Karina , Cambrón-Crisantos José Manuel , Cruz-Jaramillo José Luis , Ronces-Frutos Liliana Elizabeth , López-Buenfil José Abel , Torres-Martínez José Gustavo
Published: September 2018

Phytoplasmas are phytopathogenic prokaryotes of great importance because they have been linked to numerous diseases around the world. The aim of these research was to present the general characteristics, the size and composition of the genome and the genes and/or regions used as molecular markers for the identification and characterization of phytoplasmas. Among its main hosts are fruit and wood trees, vegetables, cut flowers and weeds, which generate alterations in the hormonal balance producing symptoms such as philodias and virescence. Because its isolation in vitro has not been possible, the detection and characterization has been carried out, mainly, with molecular techniques. In addition, the use of New Generation Sequencing (NGS) has allowed to know the complete genome of some phytoplasmas, as well as the regions and genes that constitute it. In the present bibliographic review, the information generated from the molecular techniques and NGS sequencing is compiled, as well as the primers reported to identify some groups of phytoplasmas.
Aspectos epidemiológicos de Cryptosporidium spp. en terneros del estado Táchira en Venezuela
Authors: Moreno-Manresa Carlos David , Arellano-Semidey Angela , Martin-Pérez Cindy
Published: September 2018

Diarrheic processes are most commonly involved in losses due to mortality or decline of growth and occur at early ages in the farm animals. In Venezuela, particularly in the Tachira state, the presence of protozoa of the genus Cryptosporidium has been determined in calves, but its relationship with a clinical gastrointestinal disease is not sufficiently evaluated. The objective of this work was to evaluate the epidemiology of Cryptosporidium spp. in the calves of herds in Tachira state and its relation with clinical manifestations of a digestive disease. 338 calves were randomly sampled during 2008. The epidemiological variables studied were: a) the age in months, taken from existing records in production units; b) the gender of the animal; c) the Tachira state zone (north or south); d) presence of obvious signs of diarrhea; and e) positivity or negativity to cryptosporidium upon coprological examination. 27% of the samples showed positivity to Cryptosporidium spp. by the Zielh Neelsen modified technique. The study suggests that this genus of protozoa constitutes an important risk factor for the presentation of diarrhea in calves from birth to weaning in the Tachira state (OR> 1, p <0.05); where 18.8% of cases of undifferentiated diarrhea may be related to the presence of the parasite (p <0.05). Infections were less common in older calves (OR <1; p <0.01); however, age did not act as a determinant factor for the presentation of diarrhea in already infected animals. Gender does not present as a risk factor for infection by Cryptosporidium spp.
Redworm elimination in an integrated fixed-film activated sludge reactor
Authors: Xu Shengnan , Nze Kingsley , Mohammed Abdul , Liu Yang
Published: September 2018

Two pilot-scale biological nutrient removal bioreactors were operated side by side under selected flow rate conditions. One reactor was operated under an integrated fixed-film activated sludge (IFAS) reactor configuration, and the second reactor was operated under a conventional activated sludge reactor configuration. The relatively high dissolved oxygen (DO) and low food-to-microorganism ratio created a favourable environment for the proliferation of redworm identified as Aeolosoma hemprichi in the IFAS reactor from day 116, which led to significant deterioration on ammonia removal in the IFAS reactor. The removal efficiencies of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and phosphorus were not significantly affected by the redworm bloom. Several strategies were applied to eliminate the redworms from the IFAS reactor. The most effective strategy was shutting off the DO supply in the aerobic zone and stopping the influent feed for 48 h. Finally, it took about 1·5 months for the IFAS reactor to recover from performing the worm elimination strategy.
Unstable rights
Authors: Brás Oriana Rainho
Published: September 2018

People with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in Rio de Janeiro accessed basic rights of citizenship, including socioeconomic rights and even formal citizenship, through their use of the public health care system. Access to those rights, however, was unstable and this had life-and-death implications. I argue that patients could only fulfil their right to live after it had been jeopardised by the absence of basic socioeconomic rights that rendered life precarious. Thus, the right to live is not a prerequisite of other rights, but rather cannot be fulfilled without them. I discuss the politics of life in this context based on ethnographic fieldwork in an outpatient clinic for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and interviews with patients, health professionals, and activists, all conducted in 2009 and 2010 in Rio de Janeiro.
Citizens, dependents, sons of the soil
Authors: Enria Luisa , Lees Shelley
Published: September 2018

The impact of biomedicine and biomedical technologies on identity and sociality has long been the focus of medical anthropology. In this article we revisit these debates in a discussion of how unprecedented encounters with biomedicine during the West African Ebola outbreak have featured in Sierra Leoneans’ understandings of citizenship and belonging, using the case study of an Ebola vaccine trial taking place in Kambia District (EBOVAC Salone). Analysing our ethnographic material in conversation with a historical analysis of notions of belonging and citizenship, we show how participation in a vaccine trial in a moment of crisis allowed people to tell stories about themselves as political subjects and to situate themselves in a conversation about the nature of citizenship that both pre-dates and post-dates the epidemic.

O recrutamento de magistrados no judiciário brasileiro: uma reflexão sobre reserva de vagas para pessoas portadoras de deficiência à luz da teoria da justiça
Authors: Chaves Luciano Athayde
Published: September 2018

O presente artigo objetiva estudar as ações afirmativas de reserva de vagas nos concursos para a magistratura nacional a partir da teoria da justiça, analisando sua conformidade com o princípio da igualdade de oportunidades que deve caracterizar as sociedades democráticas contemporâneas. O exame do referencial teórico oferecido por John Rawls, Ronald Dworkin e Amartya Sen permitiu concluir que as regras do Conselho Nacional de Justiça, que tratam da reserva de vagas a pessoas portadores de deficiência, estão em consonância com os princípios de correção de justiça material, porquanto asseguram a justa oportunidade a esse grupo social, em razão da sua incapacidade para desenvolverem, no jogo do mercado, em igualdade de condições, projetos razoáveis de vida. A investigação também concluiu que, nada obstante a propriedade dessas ações afirmativas, algumas questões ainda estão em aberto, como os parâmetros institucionais relativos ao desenvolvimento da carreira, até mesmo por serem recentes essas políticas de discriminação inversa na composição da magistratura.
Justiça de transição: teoria e metodologia de análise (contribuições da teoria intercultural da constituição)
Authors: Galindo Antonella Bruna Machado Torres
Published: September 2018

O presente trabalho debate as possibilidades de análise do fenômeno da justiça de transição a partir da proposta de fundamentos metodológicos e teóricos consistentes. Considerando que tal temática, como muitas outras no âmbito jurídico, por vezes deixa-se levar pelo passionalismo político, faz-se necessária a construção de um razoável rigor metodológico no tratamento temático para que os trabalhos a respeito possam ser efetivamente científicos. Com esse intento, o artigo propõe em linhas preliminares uma metodologia constitucional intercultural de análise da justiça de transição a partir da denominada "teoria intercultural da constituição" e de seus princípios fundamentais, criticismo, abertura, pluralismo, universalismo, particularismo e contextualismo, procurando compreender as relações entre o constitucionalismo e a justiça de transição. Também vislumbra, ao final, um esboço da potencialidade dessa perspectiva metodológica em relação a algumas experiências concretas de justiça de transição, no caso, as alemãs (pós-nazismo e pós-reunificação), a sul-africana, a argentina, a chilena e a brasileira.
Marco civil da internet e direito à privacidade na sociedade da informação
Authors: Barreto Junior Irineu Francisco , Gallinaro Fábio , Sampaio Vinícius Garcia Ribeiro
Published: September 2018

Este artigo analisa a necessária adequação paradigmática do direito fundamental à privacidade, perante os avanços tecnológicos oriundos da Sociedade da Informação. A pesquisa normativa e doutrinária contextualiza o assunto para analisar aspectos deste novo momento, especialmente os conflitos entre os direitos fundamentais à privacidade, intimidade e liberdade de expressão. O Marco Civil da Internet é analisado no artigo, com o intuito de apurar seus possíveis reflexos e alcance. Os Obstáculos para a efetiva garantia do direito à privacidade tendem a aumentar com a crescente expansão das redes sociais, bem como se elevam os conflitos entre direitos e garantias fundamentais. O artigo conclui que é inegável a necessidade do estabelecimento de princípios normativos para a proteção da privacidade, dignidade e, por reflexo, dos efeitos da superexposição de dados pessoais que resultam da utilização da Internet. Antes do estabelecimento de consensos e da conscientização dos usuários quanto ao uso adequado da rede, o Marco Civil adquire primordial relevância, significado e aplicação na mitigação dos conflitos advindos da sociabilidade humana em meio digital.
MACROECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY AND PRIVATE INVESTMENT: THE CASE OF POLAND
Authors: Öge Güney Pelin
Published: September 2018

Analysis of investment decisions is an
important macroeconomic subject due to the role of fluctuations in investments
on the economic performance. It is argued that investment models need to take
this effect into account if uncertainty has an impact on investment. Therefore,
the effects of uncertainty on investments have recently been analyzed in the
theoretical and empirical literature. While developing economies face more
uncertainty than industrial countries do, most empirical studies consider the uncertainty-investment
relationship for developed counties. In this paper, we analyzed the effect of the
macro economic uncertainties on private investment in a developing county: Poland.
We constructed a generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity
(GARCH) model to measure uncertainties. Then, we employed the bound testing
procedure to cointegration analysis. Since our findings indicate a long-term
relationship of the variables, we adopt an error correction model to capture
the dynamic relationship. Our estimates imply that the real exchange rate,
inflation and growth uncertainties effect private investments negatively in
Poland. Therefore, we can conclude that macroeconomic
stabilization is a necessary condition for the continuity of investments in
Poland.

Authors: Tandel Prabhubhai R. , Patel Himanshu R. , Patel Kiran U.
Published: September 2018

Background: With the advent and advances in the field of radiological and imaging techniques, the diagnosis of lump can be made with greater accuracy than previous years. The better diagnostic facilities like ultrasonography, computer tomographic scan and magnetic resonance imaging shows mass lesions directly in their entirety. Within two decades of CT scan there have been rapid technical advances, which has provided us with high quality images but at a substantially increased cost.Methods: This is prospective study. It was conducted from June 2017 to July 2018 at GMERS Medical College Valsad. A Study of 25 cases was carried out, after thorough clinical examination and necessary investigations, patients were subjected to CT scan of abdomen. CT Scan was carried out for the extent of the growth, exact nature of the growth and whether growth is respectable or not.Results: The present series of 25 cases of retroperitoneal lump the age of patient varied a lot. Maximum number of cases were seen in fourth, fifth and sixth decades. Symptoms include lump, pain in abdomen and other associated complaints.Conclusions: Definitive diagnosis and precise detail of disease was not obtained by conventional investigations, CT scan was performed in all cases and added information was gained by the same study like inoperable growth, lymph node, metastases, vein or inferior vena cava involvement.

Saving the Fetus in Maternal Schizophrenia: The Role and Safety of Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) in Pregnancy.
Authors: Abdul Karim Othman , R Noraslawati , J Anisah , H Syaratul Emma
Published: September 2018

Introduction: Managing schizophrenia during pregnancy often presents a clinical dilemma. Although pharmacological interventions are mostly effective for these disorders during pregnancy, there are few drawbacks for this approach. The potential teratogenicity and long duration of interventions required to control the symptoms somehow limits its usage during pregnancy.Here we described a case report of treatment-resistant schizophrenia successfully treated with ECT without obvious complication to the mother and her baby.Conclusion: Electroconvulsive therapy is an ideal alternative treatment for a patient with schizophrenia during pregnancy. ECT also will eliminate the potential side effects of antipsychotic medications on the mother and teratogenicity effect to the fetus, especially during the first trimester.
Big mass: is it a big issue?
Authors: Yi Myat San , Lwin Soe , Khaing Mi Mi
Published: September 2018

Women present with a big mass will feel worried and uncertain about herself as there is a possibility of cancer. Most of the big masses are originated from the uterus or ovarian origin and it is vital for the patient to find out the most possible diagnosis. With the improvement of modern technology, the ultrasound plays an important role to get the diagnosis, however, it has some limitations like difficulty to visualize the whole mass. Other investigations like CT and especially, MRI will help to reach the appropriate diagnosis and as a result, aid in making an  efficient plan for the respective diagnosis with least morbidity. It is a great challenge for the clinician but those who have adequate knowledge, competency in surgical skill with well-learnt experience will not consider it as a big deal.
Prevalence of vulvovaginal candidiasis in gynecological practices in Germany: A retrospective study of 954,186 patients
Authors: Jacob Louis , John Mara , Kalder Matthias , Kostev Karel
Published: September 2018

Background and Purpose: To the best of our knowledge, no information is available regarding the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis in gynecological practices. The goal of this study was to analyze the prevalence of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and the drugs prescribed for the treatment of this condition in women followed in gynecological practices in Germany.
Materials and Methods: All the women followed in 262 gynecological practices between November 2014 and October 2016 were included in this study. The first outcome was the prevalence of patients diagnosed with VVC during this period. The second outcome was the prevalence of women with VVC who received an appropriate vaginal or systemic antimycotic prescription within 30 days after their first VVC diagnosis. Covariables included the use of gynecological/systemic antibiotics, consumption of oral/vaginal contraceptives, cancer, pregnancy, diabetes, and psychiatric diseases including depression, anxiety, and adjustment and somatoform disorders.
Results: Between 2014 and 2016, 954,186 women were followed in gynecological practices, and 50,279 (5.3%) women were diagnosed with VVC during the same period. The use of gynecological antibiotics (OR=2.88), systemic antibiotics (OR=1.45), oral contraceptives (OR=1.74), and vaginal contraceptives (OR=1.84) were associated with an increase in the risk of VVC diagnosis. Cancer (OR=1.20) and pregnancy (OR=1.59) were additional risk factors. Approximately 75% of women diagnosed with VVC received an antimycotic prescription. The three most frequently prescribed drugs were clotrimazole (72%), fluconazole (14%), and nystatin (6%).
Conclusion: More than 5% of women were diagnosed with VVC and the majority of them received an appropriate prescription.

intellectual role on narration of his books. Along with that, the reading and
interpretation will focus on his book, Dersa Dîn (Lecture of Religion),
to observe how Abdul-Rahim Rahmi Hekari was influenced from his century as an
intellectual. And finally, the answers will be searched regarding why it was
important to Hekari, as an intellectual, to write such book, Dersa Dîn,
and what his motivations were.

Resumen Hoy en día, las ciudades están experimentando radicales cambios operacionales. Estos nuevos modelos conocidos como Smart Cities tienen como objetivo mejorar la calidad de vida de los ciudadanos mediante el uso de datos recopilados sobre el entorno a través del uso de Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC). Además, el Internet of Things (IoT) es una de las grandes tecnologías que respalda a las Smart Cities para lograr estos objetivos. A su vez, una de las líneas de investigación que está adquiriendo gran relevancia está relacionada con las tendencias de aplicación de software y hardware abiertos. Una de estas ramas son las bien conocidas Plataformas de Código Abierto (OSP), que permite el desarrollo de proyectos de desarrollo propio (DIY). Gracias a ello, actualmente es posible llevar a cabo proyectos y soluciones que hasta ahora difícilmente eran posibles hacer realidad. El presente trabajo muestra una de las líneas de investigación que se está llevando a cabo desde el grupo en el ámbito de la monitorización y automatización de los edificios a través de la combinación de las OSP y el IoT. Además de mostrar las posibilidades de desarrollo existentes se presentará un caso práctico de esta tecnología que se llevó a cabo durante el proceso de monitorización energética en el edificio San Roke 32 de Donostia-San Sebastián rehabilitado bajo los criterios Passivhaus. Abstract Today, cities are experiencing radical operational changes. These new models known as Smart Cities aim to improve the quality of citizens life using data collected about the environment through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). In addition, the Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the great technologies that supports Smart Cities to achieve these objectives. At the same time, one of the research lines that is becoming very relevant is related to open software and hardware application trends. One of these branches are the well-known Open Source Platforms (OSP), which allows the development of self-developed projects (DIY). Thanks to this, it is now possible to carry out projects and solutions that until now were hardly possible to achieve. The present work shows one of the lines of research that is being carried out from the group in the field of monitoring and automation of buildings through the combination of the OSP and the IoT. In addition to showing the existing development possibilities, a practical case of this technology will be presented, which was carried out during the energy monitoring process in the San Roke 32 building in Donostia-San Sebastián, rehabilitated under the Passivhaus criteria.
A Theoretical Model to Explain the Symptoms and Progression of Schizophrenia
Authors: Overholt Michael
Published: September 2018

Through the use of a simplified model of consciousness this paper illustrates the symptoms of schizophrenia linked to neocortical structures and functions.  It makes the case that the bewildering and varied presentation of symptoms in schizophrenia can be analyzed and explained using such models.  The model is used to illustrate the central thesis of the paper, that schizophrenia is a disorder of neurogenesis which leads to progressive neurochemical, functional and neurophysiological changes that create the characteristic behaviors of the disease.
Harnessing the Exchange Interaction for Quantum Information Processing
Authors: Majumdar Mrittunjoy Guha
Published: September 2018

In this paper, I propose new models of quantum information processing using the exchange interaction in physical systems. The partial SWAP operator that can be realized using the exchange interaction is used as the underlying resource for defining models of quantum computation, quantum communication, quantum memory and decoherence-free subspaces. Given the non-commutativity of these operators (for adjacent operators operating on a common qubit), a number of quantum states and entanglement patters can be obtained. This zoo of states can be classified, due to the parity constraints and permutation symmetry of the states, into invariant subspaces that are used for the definition of some of the applications in this paper.
Company Income Taxes and Foreign Direct Investment in Nigeria
Authors: Edo Onome , Alade Omoye
Published: September 2018

This paper discusses corporate taxes and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Nigeria. It is a review of literature that attempts to explore and give a reality on the response of FDI to corporate taxes. This paper shows in its introductory phase a prior discussion of the terms corporate tax and FDI and also elements of both terms and classifications. It follows with issues such as the effects of corporate taxes on FDI. This paper discusses the rhetoric whether reduced corporate taxes and other tax incentives has an effect on the inflow of FDI in Nigeria. To answer this question, the paper utilised information gathered from secondary sources including books, newspapers publications, working papers and research findings from studies. This paper shows that from surveyed empirical studies corporate taxes may have an important role in attracting FDI and have a rising effect on the development of the country, and as such recommends that tax incentives should be employed as a means  to attracting FDI, a cost benefit analysis should be employed on the types of corporate taxes  to determine the benefit from the perceived FDI inflow, in addition a review of the current tax policies should be carried out as they seem not to respond to the current economic situation.

Soups show diverse health functions, which should be related with their nutrient profiles. NMR spectroscopy is a robust, sensitive and rapid method to unveil or identify the chemical composition of food or food-derived metabolites. In the current study, 1H-NMR spectroscopy approach was applied to identify the metabolic profiling of two kinds of home-cooked freshwater fish soups (crucian carp and snakehead fish) before and after in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. The nutritional profiles of these two kinds of soups were identified at first. With the help of OPLS-DA method (Orthogonal Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis), these two different kinds freshwater fish under different states were completely discriminated. The metabolites changes in digested fish soups could reveal the information of chemical compounds which play important roles in the body. Furthermore, the metabolic patterns of different kinds of fish soups could reflect the various nutrition profiling characteristics for dietary therapy.
Thermochemical Measurements of Alkali Cation Association to Hexatantalate

Published: September 2018

Ion association is an important process in aqueous dissolution, precipitation, and crystallization of ionic inorganic, organic, and biological materials. Polyoxometalates (POMs) are good model compounds for understanding the complex relationships between lattice energy, ion-pairing in solution, and salt solubility. Here we perform calorimetric measurements to elucidate trends in cluster stability, lattice energy, and ion-pairing behavior studies of simple hexatantalate salts in neat water, parent hydroxide solutions, and molybdate melts, extending previous studies on the isostructural hexaniobates. High temperature calorimetry of alkali salts of hexatantalate reveals that the enthalpies of formation from oxides of the K, Rb, and Cs salts are more similar to each other than they are for their niobate analogues and that the tantalate cluster is energetically less stable than hexaniobate. Aqueous dissolution calorimetry reveals that the cesium salt of hexatantalate has a similar concentration dependence on its dissolution enthalpy to that of hexaniobate. However, unlike rubidium hexaniobate, rubidium hexatantalate also exhibits increased concentration dependence, indicating that hextantalate can undergo increased ion-pairing with alkali salts other than cesium, despite the dilute environments studied. Dissolution enthalpies of POM salts in the parent alkali hydroxides shows that protonation of clusters stabilizes lattices even more than the strongly associating heavy alkalis do. Additionally, neither weak nor strong lattice ion associations necessarily correlates with respectively high or low aqueous solubility. These studies illuminate the importance of considering ion-pairing among the interrelated processes in the aqueous dissolution of ionic salts, that can be extended to serving as a model of cation association to metal oxide surfaces.
Photonic Hook Plasmons: A New Curved Surface Wave
Authors: Minin Igor
Published: September 2018

It is well-known that surface plasmon wave propagates along a straight line, but this common sense was broken by the artificial curved light – plasmon Airy beam. In this paper, we introduce a new class of curved surface plasmon wave - the photonic hook plasmon. It propagates along wavelength scaled curved trajectory with radius less than surface plasmon polariton wavelength, and can exist despite the strong energy dissipation at the metal surface.

Purpose: Young transgender and non-binary are exposed to situations of discrimination and have a greater risk of violence. The purpose of this study is to analyze which protective, violence and health and well-being factors have more influence on transgender and non-binary people compared to cisgender people. Method: The sample comprised 856 people between 14 and 25 years old. A survey including questions about sociodemographic information and protective, violence and health and well-being factors was designed ad hoc for this study. Results: The results show non-binary group received the least support from family and friends, higher risk of suffering cyberbullying and a higher feel isolated and unhappy. Non-binary and transgender have suffered more verbal attacks both inside and outside their school and physical attacks at school than cisgender young. Conclusions: These results are important and may contribute to promote public policies and clinical interventions to favor the integration of non-binary and transgender people in our society.
Drosophila Models of Sporadic Parkinson’s Disease
Authors: Nagoshi Emi
Published: September 2018

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common cause of movement disorder characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. It is increasingly recognized as a complex group of disorders presenting widely heterogenous symptoms and pathology. Except for the rare monogenic forms, the majority of the PD cases result from an interaction between multiple genetic and environmental risk factors. The search for these risk factors and the development of preclinical animal models are in progress hand in hand, providing mechanistic insights into the pathogenesis of PD. This review summarizes the studies that capitalize on modeling sporadic (i.e. non-familial) PD using Drosophila melanogaster and discuss their methodology, new findings and future perspective.
