PELAS ÁGUAS, HISTÓRIAS E MEMÓRIAS DE CIPÓ, BAHIA
Authors: Carneiro Edivasco dos Reis
Published: November 2019

Este artigo, que é parte de uma tese de Doutoramento em Geografia defendida recentemente, buscou analisar as dinâmicas socioculturais da primeira Estância Hidromineral de Cipó. Para auxiliar nesta busca, descrevi o processo de turistificação deste lugar; caracterizei as dinâmicas socioculturais existentes; analisei os modos de fazer e viver o artesanato local; por fim, discuti o papel do turismo nas dinâmicas socioculturais caracterizadas. Adotou-se, por sua vez, uma abordagem qualitativa de investigação a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas com os sujeitos da pesquisa (artesãos; gestores públicos e turistas/visitantes). Em Cipó, o turismo acontece de forma desorganizada, sem um planejamento eficaz e participativo; assim, não há o destaque dos seus principais elementos: suas águas e o artesanato. Esperase com este artigo dar subsídios para pensar políticas públicas e de planejamento territorial tendo o turismo cultural como uma alternativa viável para o desenvolvimento sociocultural e, também, econômico deste lugar.
الدلالات اللغوية والمعرفية للمصطلح السياسي والإعلامي

يناقش هذا البحث الدلالات اللغوية والمعرفية للمصطلحات والمفاهيم الفلسطينية الإعلامية
والسياسية في الص ا رع الفلسطيني الإس ا رئيلي، لِمما لهذه المصطلحات من أهمية في
إنتاج معرفة سياسية تروم الوعي الفردي والوعي الجمعي للمتلقين، وتوظف المصطلحات
ودلالاتها في إطار الص ا رع كأدوات ناعمة تؤسس لقواعد معرفية توظف في الص ا رع

إلى الدلالات المعرفية والسياسية للمصطلحات، واعتمد قائمة من الضوابط المعرفية
كالتناقض، والتماثل، والجزء والكل، والتواطؤ كمحكات قاعدية في تحليل المصطلحات.
وخلص البحث إلى أن الخطاب الفلسطيني السياسي والإعلامي غير متفق على مفهوم
الصياغة اللُّغوية للمصطلح الواحد، ما يجعل دلالاته متباينة. كما أن الخطاب الفلسطيني
الرسمي– من حيث يدري أو لا يدري- يعيد إنتاج الرواية الإس ا رئيلية فلسطينيا، مكرسا
بذلك المصطلحات الإس ا رئيلية في الخطاب الفلسطيني، مما يؤدي إلى تضارب معرفي
وتاريخي لدى المتلقين الفلسطينيين. ويوصي البحث بضرورة فكاك الخطاب الفلسطيني

ECOLOGICAL ROLE OF MACROALGAE FOR MARINE ECOSYSTEM. Macroalgae is an ecologically and economically important component in marine ecosystem. Ecologically, macroalgae has a role as a primary producer, food for other marine biota, provide shelter, nursery ground and carbon sink. Macroalgae contains photosynthetic pigments to be able to provide their own food and produce carbon dioxide for other marine biota (called primary productivity). Macroalgae is a food source, provide shelter and nursery ground for fish, gastropods (mollusks), crustaceans and sea urchins. Macroalgae also has the ability to to reduce the effects of global warming through carbon sink. Absorption of carbon emissions of anthropogenic activity by marine organisms are called as blue carbon. Therefore, macroalgae is ecologically importantfor the balancing of marine ecosystems sustainability.

BIOACTIVE COMPOUND FROM MICROALGAE AND ITS FUTURE PROSPECT. Microalgae biomass is potential to be used in various fields, one of which is as a producer of bioactive compounds. Bioactive compounds from microalgae can be used extensively in the pharmaceutical industry, cosmetic’s raw materials, food flavouring substances, and functional food ingredients. In terms of health, the bioactive compounds have the potential as antioxidants, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and prevent the effects of malaria, but the potential for microalgae’s bioactive compound has not been explored well if compared to the production of terrestrial plants. Some examples of the bioactive compounds that have been used are carotenoid groups such as lutein, β-carotene, astaxanthin and fucoxanthin; fatty acid groups such as EPA and DHA; and also some toxin compounds such as domoic acid. To obtain the optimum yield of bioactive compounds, it requires the right method in biomass production, compound extraction, compounds isolation and compounds identification. While testing the activities, it is necessary to do some assays such as antioxidan, antibiotic, antiviral and anticancer assay. The development of the technology can improve the potential use of microalgae to synthesis its bioactive compounds.

HYDRODYNAMICS EFFECT TO THE DISTRIBUTION OF THERMAL WASTE IN THE OCEAN. The ocean is a thermal waste disposal site derived from thermal power plants. The ecosystems and marine biota could be disrupted even massive damaged if this waste was disposed into the ocean without proper processing. All activities in the ocean need a well understanding of hydrodynamics to avoid or minimize any negative effects that may occur. It needs dispersion modeling of heat water prior to the construction of the power plant in order to reduce the impact of environmental damage.
PENGGUNAAN LIDAR (LIGHT DETECTION AND RANGING) UNTUK MENGUKUR KEDALAMAN PERAIRAN DANGKAL

Published: November 2019

UTILIZATION OF LIDAR (LIGHT DETECTION AND RANGING) TO MEASURE SHALLOW WATER DEPTH. Understanding on seabed characteristics such as the topography, composition and habitat conditions was very important to provide information not only for shipping activities, conservation, management and planning activities, but also for research activities with accurate bathymetry data. Accurate bathymetric data can be obtained from hydrographic surveys and remote sensing technology analysis. The hydrographic survey is used to obtain bathymetry data by applying singlebeam echosounder (SBES) and multibeam echosounder (MBES). At a depth of <15m (shallow water) was difficult to carry out an acoustic survey. At present there is one remote sensing technology that can be used to support hydrographic surveys namely Bathymetric LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). LIDAR was able to detect objects on land and waters due to being flown by a vehicle. Wide LIDAR sweep makes data acquisition faster and more effective than acoustic noise. Therefore, LIDAR was an alternative to obtain depth data, especially in coastal areas with a depth of less than 50 m.
Van Wyk-Grumbach syndrome in children (Review of literature with descriptions of clinical cases)
Authors: Bezlepkina O. B. , Semicheva T. V. , Yarovaya I. S.
Published: November 2019

One of the main manifestations of juvenile hypothyroidism is usually a delay in both somatic and sexual development. However, in some cases, primary hypothyroidism is accompanied by premature sexual development (PSD).

This was first reported by F. Kendle in 1905. The author observed a girl with cretinism, whose diagnosis was made in the 1st year of life, however, thyroid replacement therapy was not always carried out regularly. At the age of 5, against the background of clinically pronounced signs of hypothyroidism, an increase in the mammary glands, menstrual-like spotting appeared. With the resumption of adequate replacement therapy with thyroid drugs, a cessation of menstruation was observed, a decrease in the size of the mammary glands.

In 1955, S. Bergstrand also drew attention to an unusual combination of untreated primary hypothyroidism and PSD in a 9-year-old girl. Along with the aforementioned manifestations of PSD, the author first noted the expansion of the Turkish saddle in his patient. When prescribing replacement therapy, mensis stopped, a decrease in the size of the mammary glands was observed, and from 15 years (after 6 years of regular administration of thyroid drugs), the patient had a spontaneous puberty having a physiological course.

The first publications were descriptive, and only in 1960 was an attempt to explain the pathogenetic mechanisms of this syndrome for the first time. In their report, J. Van Wyk and M. Grumbach hypothesize a partial hormonal overlap at the pituitary level (the possibility of a hypothalamic or tissue, molecular overlap was not ruled out), as a result of which, under the influence of hypersecretion of tyroliberin, only thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), but also prolactin, gonadotropins. In addition, the authors suggested the possibility of increasing the half-life of estrogens from the body during hypothyroidism, due to which an increase in their effect is observed.

In their article, J. Van Wyk and M. Grumbach describe three girls (7 years old, 8 years old 8 months old, 12 years old 9 months old), who, along with an increase in the size of the mammary glands, had galactorrhea, early onset of menarche, adult sizes of the uterus, cystic -changed ovaries (in a patient of 8 years 8 months). All patients had a delay in the differentiation of the skeleton, an increase in the size of the Turkish saddle. After the appearance of this fundamental article, the syndrome, which includes PSD against the background of a long-running untreated primary hypothyroidism, was called Van Wyk-Grumbach syndrome.
Neuroendocrine control of puberty processes in humans and primates
Authors: Babichev V. N.
Published: November 2019

At present, puberty is considered as a formation period during which sexual sensitivity is formed, secondary sexual characteristics develop, and menstruation first appears in females. The future will show how this combination of features is complete and can be widely used by both professionals and non-specialists. However, it is clear that the process of puberty is a temporary phenomenon and includes both growth and differentiation. In humans and primates, the normal process of puberty occurs during the growth period and ends after complete differentiation. A feature of sexual development in primates is the presence of a significant interval between the time of birth and the onset of the puberty process, the onset of spermatogenesis or the ovarian cycle in them occurs in the second decade of life.

The process of puberty in primates estimated to last for several years and is characterized by a cascade of morphological, physiological and behavioral processes, and an increase in ovarian and testicular activity. Some biological changes occur discretely and can be quantified in this phase of development, others are less obvious and their assessment is more complicated. However, most researchers agree that it is not possible to fix the beginning and end of the puberty process with a certain degree of certainty, let alone show the chronology of events, because they are considered as a process of individual development during puberty.
Growth effect of GH therapy administered for a year to children with Terner’s syndrome. Analysis of international data base on growth monitoring of the Kabi Farmacia company
Authors: Ranke M. , Guilbaud O.
Published: November 2019

To study the parameters that determine the effectiveness of treatment with growth hormone (GH) in Turner syndrome (TS), we examined the results of a survey of 175 children with this disease who were younger than 11 years old and were on therapy (GH) for the first year. Before the start of GH therapy, the median for age was 7.9 years, and the medians for SDS (standard deviation) growth, calculated relative to the norms for healthy children and patients with TS, were 2.5 and 0.3, respectively. The median for the dose of GH was 0.8 IU / kg per week, 86% of patients received the drug 6 or 7 times a week. Multiple regression analysis showed that growth rate was positively correlated with the dose of GH, the number of GH injections per week and the mass-growth index, but inversely correlated with age. These four most important indicators of prognosis determine the variability of the growth effect of therapy in 38% of cases. There are significant differences in this prediction model compared with idiopathic GH deficiency, in which the expected growth is the single most important predictive factor in the first year of SDS therapy. (The data obtained confirm the hypothesis that with TS there is no growth jump"). The relative uncertainty of the prognosis indicates the need for a further search for indicators that determine the growth effect of therapy for TS.
Neuromediator bioamines in the histogenesis of corpora lutea
Authors: Pogorelov Yu. V. , Dindyayev S. V.
Published: November 2019

The role of neuromediator bioamines in histogenesis of corpora lutea was under study. Cryostate slices of ovaries from 27 cats were treated after A. Bjorklunds fluorescent histochemical method modified by V. N. Shvalev and N. I. Zhuchkova. The content of serotonin and catecholamines was measured cytospectrofluorometrically in varicose dilatations and intervari- cose sites о perivascular plexuses and terminals, in membranous and parenchymatous macrophages of corpus luteum. A reliably increased content of the examined neuromediators was found in all the tested nervous structures at the stage of glandular metamorphosis and corpus luteum maturity. Serotonin and catecholamines are believed to be needed for glandular metamorphosis and corpus luteum maturation. A higher level of catecholamines at the stage of corpora lutea maturity in comparison with serotonin may be explained by an activating effect of these neuromediators on progesterone synthesis. Catecholamines may be necessary for luteolythic action of prostaglandines. Macrophages seem to inactivate mediator excess.
Dopaminergic control of prolactin secretion regulation (review of experimental and clinical trials)
Authors: Gubernatorov Ye. Ye. , Gerasimov G. A.
Published: November 2019

Prolactin secretion (PRL) is under complex neuroendocrine control. in which factors of various nature are involved: neurotransmitters, biologically active neuropeptides, as well as hormones of peripheral endocrine glands. However, the dominant role belongs to dopamine, which is the most important of endogenous prolactin inhibiting substances. Convincing evidence of this was obtained after the discovery and study of the tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic system of the hypothalamus, which is a part of a complex neuroendocrine system for regulating the secretion of PRL.

Published: November 2019

The levels of glucose, insulin, and C-peptide in the blood scrum were measured in 38 subjects with normal and impaired glucose tolerance whose parents suffered from insulin-dependent and noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM and NID- DM, respectively) and in 12 normal subjects without hereditary aggravation for diabetes mellitus in order to specify the pecualiaritics of development of diabetes mellitus of various types. Reliably increased levels of glucose, insulin, and C-peptide on an empty stomach and absence of adequate secretion of insulin and C-peptide in response to stimulation with 5 mg of minidiab, expressed by a later and less manifest release of insulin and C-peptide, were observed in the test group, in contrast to healthy controls. The detected changes augment with the progress of carbohydrate metabolism disorders, being more marked in the subjects whose parents suffered from IDDM. The findings permit a conclusion that function of the insular system is changed during early disorders of carbohydrate metabolism in subjects whose parents suffered from both forms of diabetes mellitus. Minidiab test is recommended to specify the function of the pancreatic insular system.
Gustatory perception of children with diabetes mellitus
Authors: Budylina S. M. , Davydov A. L.
Published: November 2019

Gustatory perception was studied in 10 children aged 8 to 15 suffering from medium-severe diabetes mellitus by the functional mobility method. Glycemia values and the level of mobilization of gustatory lingual papillae were high when the patients were admitted; the characteristic reverse proportinal relationship between these values, observed in healthy children, was absent. A course of therapy resulted in reduction of glycemia level, but the level of mobilization of gustatory papillae on an empty stomach was unchanged, the gastrolingual reflex did not recover. The detected dissociation between glycemia values and the level of mobilization of the gustatory receptor system may be an extra for the diagnosis of diabetes severity and treatment efficacy.
Immunoanalysis of free a-subunit of glycoprotein hormones in human blood serum and its relationships with the pituitary glycoprotein
Authors: Bulatov A. A. , Kiselyova A. G. , Gorshkova T. V. , Akopova N. B.
Published: November 2019

A radioimmunoassay test system has been designed for measurements of free a-subunit (AS) of glycoprotein hormones in human blood serum with a sensitivity of 0.15 ng/ml. This test system revealed the absence of a direct correlation between the levels of free AS and levels of glycoprotein hormones in the blood sera of women with various endocrine profile, this being indicative of the specificity of this test system, on the one hand, and, on the other, confirming the possibility of independent secretion by the pituitary of free AS into the blood. Basal blood serum level of free AS in normal subjects is low: 0,9 ng/ml in women aged 17 to 30. The level of free AS secretion in the blood of many patients with nonfunctioning tumors of the pituitary was found increased, this demonstrating the diagnostic significance of measuring free AS as a marker of such tumors.

Authors: Selyatitskaya V. G. , Palchikova N. A. , Odintsov S. V.
Published: November 2019

Thyroid and adrenocortical function was examined in rats fed increasing quantities of iodine with drinking water. No noticeable deviations in thyroid hormone levels were found in the blood of experimental animals. Thyroid hormone levels in thyroid tissue were changing in the same direction in the animals kept on various iodine diets, these changes depending on experiment duration: an increase of thyroxine and more so, of triiodothyronine was observed in 50 days, and reduction thereof in 90 days. In rats fed the maximal iodine dose, 8000 mcg daily, the level of thyroglobulin in thyroid tissue decreased. Increased iodine consumption reduced the glucocorticoid function of the adrenals in experimental animals, this manifesting by reduction of corticosterone level in the adrenals, blood plasma, and reduction of non-metabolized hormone excretion with the urine.
Proteins binding the thyroid hormones and their physiological role
Authors: Sviridov O. V.
Published: November 2019

Steroid and thyroid hormones exert a regulatory effect on a whole range of physiological processes that form the basis of the normal development and functioning of the body. In the channel of human blood, from 96 to 99.9% of the total masses of cortisol, progesterone, thyroxine and triiodothyronine circulate in the form of complexes with hormone-binding transport proteins. The free hormone" hypothesis assigns to these transport proteins the passive function of maintaining a stationary pool of biologically active unbound hormones due to the rapid dissociation of complexes in response to the needs of target tissues. Recent studies have revealed the active role of transport proteins and their receptors on the surface of cell membranes in the interaction of steroid and thyroid hormones with competent tissues.

The structural aspects of the biological activity of complexes of corticosteroid-binding and sex steroid-binding globulins with natural ligands are described in detail in a review article. This literature review is devoted to the description of the physicochemical properties and biomedical characteristics of a multicomponent system of proteins that bind thyroid hormones in human blood plasma. Particular attention is paid to the physiological significance of these proteins in the framework of the hypothesis of free hormones and in the light of their recently discovered specific transport functions.

Published: November 2019

This study aims to examine the Constitutional Court's Decision which carries out General Elections simultaneously from the Syiyasah Syar'iyah perspective, especially on the principle of justice. This research is a doctrinal research and uses two approaches namely the statutory approach and the concept approach. Based on Syiyasah Syar'iyah's perspective, the decision of the Constitutional Court is fair for political parties participating in elections for people who are willing to become candidates/vice presidents, and for people who want to test their electability. This decision also aims to reduce the number of non-voter groups. The Constitutional Court's decision also contains the principle of unity and alliance, because it aims to stop the practical political interests that lead to the collapse of unity.

Bandung city is one of the cities that has successfully implemented the smart city concept, especially in the fields of green open space (parks) in transportation and public services.
Hubungan Kerapatan Vegetasi dan Bangunan terhadap UHI (Urban Heat Island) di Kota Magelang
Authors: Riyadi Febriyan , Rahayu Sri
Published: November 2019

Urban Heat Island (UHI) adalah fenomena dimana suatu wilayah perkotaan lebih panas daripada wilayah disekitarnya. Faktor utama yang mempengaruhi terjadinya UHI adalah terjadinya konversi tutupan lahan vegetasi menjadi daerah terbangun akibat perkembangan kota. Hal tersebut mengakibatkan peningkatan suhu permukaan, dikarenakan kerapatan vegetasi yang berkurang dan meningkatnya kerapatan bangunan. Analisis yang digunakan adalah klasifikasi tak terbimbing untuk melihat perubahan tutupan lahan, analisis NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) untuk mengetahui perubahan vegetasi, analisis NDBI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) untuk mengetahui perubahan kerapatan bangunan, serta menggunakan LST (Land Surface Temperature) untuk mengetahui suhu permukaan suatu kota dan OLS (Ordinary Least Square) merupakan permodelan regresi berganda pada aplikasi ArcGis  digunakan untuk mengetahui hubungan antar variabel tersebut. Hasil dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa suhu rata-rata Kota Magelang pada tahun 2000 sebesar 22,58°C meningkat menjadi 27,11°C pada tahun 2016. Artinya suhu rata-rata Kota Magelang mengalami kenaikan sebesar 4,53°C. Hubungan antara kerapatan bangunan (x1) dan kerapatan vegetasi (x2) terhadap suhu permukaan (y) diketahui melalui formula OLS yang dihasilkan yaitu Y= 5,61 X1 – 1,34 X2 + 2,4.Hal ini berarti jika kerapatan bangunan meningkat dan kerapatan vegetasi berkurang, maka suhu permukaan meningkat.

APOLLO

Published: November 2019

The practical art of constructing database management systems (DBMSs) involves a morass of trade-offs among query execution speed, query optimization speed, standards compliance, feature parity, modularity, portability, and other goals. It is no surprise that DBMSs, like all complex software systems, contain bugs that can adversely affect their performance. The performance of DBMSs is an important metric as it determines how quickly an application can take in new information and use it to make new decisions.

Both developers and users face challenges while dealing with performance regression bugs. First, developers usually find it challenging to manually design test cases to uncover performance regressions since DBMS components tend to have complex interactions. Second, users encountering performance regressions are often unable to report them, as the regression-triggering queries could be complex and database-dependent. Third, developers have to expend a lot of effort on localizing the root cause of the reported bugs, due to the system complexity and software development complexity.

Given these challenges, this paper presents the design of Apollo, a toolchain for automatically detecting, reporting, and diagnosing performance regressions in DBMSs. We demonstrate that Apollo automates the generation of regression-triggering queries, simplifies the bug reporting process for users, and enables developers to quickly pinpoint the root cause of performance regressions. By automating the detection and diagnosis of performance regressions, Apollo reduces the labor cost of developing efficient DBMSs.
The Survival of the God Name Šarruma in Cilician Names in the Greek Sources
Authors: Adiego Ignasi-Xavier
Published: November 2019

This paper studies some Cilician names attested in Greek sources that contain the element ζαρμα-. The two main interpretative hypotheses – a connection to Luwian zalma-, or a connection to the god name Šarruma/Šarma- – are critically analysed. The conclusion reached is that while the ambiguity of ζαρμα- cannot be resolved, it is highly likely that both -sarma and -zarma really existed as different elements in the formation of personal names in Iron Age Hieroglyphic Luwian. There was probably a tendency towards confusion between -sarma and -zarma, caused by phonological proximity and semantic crossing of certain names.

Published: November 2019

The rock reliefs of Sirkeli represent an important testimony among the Hittite monuments with hieroglyphic inscriptions. In addition to the relief of King Muwatalli, a second relief was identified in 1994, whose hieroglyphic inscription seemed irretrievably lost. Based on a cooperation between the Swiss Archaeological Mission at Sirkeli and the Centro Interistituzionale Euromediterraneo of the University Suor Orsola in Naples, a 3D survey with technologically advanced instruments was carried out in 2017. This contribution presents the first results of this project and the new perspectives that they offer for further research.
Neo-Assyrian Statues of Gods and Kings in Context
Authors: Nadali Davide , Verderame Lorenzo
Published: November 2019

Neo-Assyrian letters are a broad and interesting corpus of data to investigate how ancient Assyrians dealt with the manufacture of statues, the shaping of royal and divine effigies, and the final arrangement of sculptures. This paper aims to analyse the ritual and practical aspects of the making of images in the Neo-Assyrian period with reference to this corpus of letters, which reveals how Assyrian kings, officials and sculptors worked together for this purpose. It explores the role of the personnel involved, the process of the creation, and the final display of statues. Based on the interplay of texts and archaeological data, the study reveals the intense activity of making statues of gods and kings in Assyria, with the administration supervising both projects for new statues and the maintenance of already existing ones.
A review on CO oxidation, methanol synthesis, and propylene epoxidation over supported gold catalysts
Authors: Gaya Ndepana A. , Charles Victor , Joseph Innocent , Louis Hitler
Published: November 2019

The aim of this general review is to give an overview of the reaction pathways involving the transformation of carbon monoxide (CO), methanol synthesis and propylene epoxidation using gold (Au) and gold supported clusters. Over the catalyst system of Nano-gold (Au/SiO2), the process of methane to methanol was also highlighted. A reaction mechanism proposed, indicated that molecular oxygen was consumed in the oxidation–reduction cycle. Consequently, methane oxidation to methanol can be achieved as a green chemical process. The system can also be used in other green chemical processes of liquid phase or gas phase oxidations. Methanol is expected to be a potential solution to the partial deployment of fossil source-based economies. Moreover, it is a recognized energy carrier that is better than other alternatives in terms of transportation, storage and reuse. New or improved catalysts for methanol production are likely to be discovered in the near future.

Playing games for children is an instinct needed for ensuring happiness, it is a language for communication and self-expression, and a way to learn new things. Therefore, the present study aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of child-parent relationship therapy (CPRT) on the social skills of preschool children.

Methods

An experimental study with a pretest-posttest design was conducted on 60 preschool children in Kordkuy City, Golestan Province, Iran in 2017 by using a simple random sampling method in both the experimental and control groups. Routine preschool education was performed in the control group and in the experimentalgroup it was done based on play therapy protocol in 10 sessions for 45–60 min. The social skills questionnaire authored by Gresham and Elliott was used as a data gathering tool. The data were analyzed by SPSS 16.

Findings

An analysis of variance (ANOVA) test showed a significant difference between the scores of the experimental and control groups, which suggests that the CPRT model, a short-term plan of parental play therapy, can improve social skills in preschool children (p = 0/001).

Conclusion

Regarding the effectiveness of the CPRT, it is recommended that this method be used is an interactive-educational way in preschool centers of Iran.
The Heisenberg product seen as a branching problem for connected reductive groups, stability properties
Authors: Pelletier Maxime
Published: November 2019

In this article, we study, in the context of complex representations of symmetric groups, some aspects of the Heisenberg product, introduced by Marcelo Aguiar, Walter Ferrer Santos and Walter Moreira in 2017.
When applied to irreducible representations, this product gives rise to the Aguiar coefficients.
We prove that these coefficients are in fact also branching coefficients for representations of connected complex reductive groups.
This allows to use geometric methods already developed in a previous article, notably based on notions from geometric invariant theory, and to obtain some stability results on Aguiar coefficients, generalising some of the results concerning them given by Li Ying.
Understanding the Nature of Arab-Israeli Conflict: A Corpus-based Study of Semantic Prosody in Arabic Political Discourse
Authors: Sayaheen Bilal , Malkawi Mona Nabeel
Published: November 2019

The current study aims to investigate the nature of Arab-Israeli conflict in Arabic political discourse. This study seeks to examine the possibility of using a corpus-driven study of semantic prosody to analyze Arabic political discourse. The researchers compiled a bi-directional parallel corpus that consists of two types of King Abdullah II’s of Jordan speeches (Arabic and English). Then the researchers used WordSmith Tools in order to obtain the data required, i. e., which mostly consist of collocations associated with five selected nouns, (‘Israel,’ ‘Palestine,’ ‘Arab,’ ‘Islam,’ and ‘terrorism’), respectively along with their frequency. The results show a variation in the collocations used with the five nouns in both types of speeches and a variation in the occurrence of these nouns. While reflecting different thematic focus, this variation suggests different ideologies.
Lp estimates for maximal functions along surfaces of revolution on product spaces
Authors: Ali Mohammed , Reyyashi Musa
Published: November 2019

This paper is concerned with establishing Lp estimates for a class of maximal operators associated to surfaces of revolution with kernels in Lq(Sn−1 × Sm−1), q > 1. These estimates are used in extrapolation to obtain the Lp boundedness of the maximal operators and the related singular integral operators when their kernels are in the L(logL)κ(Sn−1 × Sm−1) or in the block space
$\begin{array}{}
B^{0,\kappa-1}_ q
\end{array}$(Sn−1 × Sm−1). Our results substantially improve and extend some known results.
Plastic drawing response in the biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) process: polymer structure and film casting effects
Authors: Gloger Dietrich , Rossegger Elisabeth , Gahleitner Markus , Wagner Christina
Published: November 2019

Processing isotactic polypropylene (iPP) from cast film into biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) involves plastic drawing of a semi-crystalline morphology in the melting range of iPP, where the crystal phase is reduced and the polymer has high mobility. The literature claims that plastic drawing in general and at elevated temperatures in particular depends predominantly on the structure of the amorphous entanglement network. We investigated this aspect using laboratory-scale biaxial drawing experiments. Three iPP homopolymer types differing in chain isotacticity and molecular weight distribution were extruded into 200-μm-thick primary sheets using 10 different extrusion settings. The sheets were biaxially drawn on a laboratory stretcher at 157°C and 160°C, recording the respective stress-strain curves. These curves were evaluated according to a rubber elasticity model to obtain the network modulus, G
N, of the entanglement network. The effects of iPP type, the extrusion parameters, the resulting cast film properties, and the draw temperature on G
N are discussed.

Comparing the wine tasting notes of Jancis Robinson and Terry Theise: A stylistic analysis
Authors: Bell David Michael , Moran Theresa
Published: November 2019

This paper offers a stylistic analysis of the tasting notes (TNs) of wine writers Jancis Robinson and Terry Theise. We define linguistic style as those distinctive, consistent, and creative linguistic choices writers make beyond what is conventionally expected in a TN, which are only discernible by comparison to other wine reviewers. Using a corpus of Robinson’s and Theise’s TNs on German and Austrian wines 2012, we compare their TNs in terms of rhetorical and grammatical structure, use of descriptors, and other evaluative language. Robinson’s elliptical note-form style is characterized by adherence to canonical rhetorical structure, verbless clauses, extensive use of conventional metaphoric descriptors and limited use of object descriptors. Theise has an effusive, people-centered additive style characterized by non-conventional rhetorical structure, multiple phrase and clause and coordination, and extensive and exotic use of diverse object descriptors, personification, and intensifier + evaluative adjective phrases. We then connect their varying linguistic styles to their differing approaches to wine tasting.
A Decision-Making Framework for Blockchain Technology Selection

Published: November 2019

As the concept of the visible product lifecycle and product tracking becomes important to consumers, emerging technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT)-based networks and Blockchain platforms are considered promising solutions by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to increase their brand reputation, improve their consumers’ experiences, and reduce their operational costs. However, costly implementation, data verification issues, and the risk of uploading inaccurate information on those platforms have limited the adoption rate and capabilities offered by the aforementioned technologies. Companies often face the question of what type of distributed ledger technology and verification protocol is more efficient in terms of operational costs as well as security. The purpose of this study is to develop an optimization framework to make a trade-off between the cost of implementation of the technology and the security level. The framework is developed based on utility theory principles. The main focus is to discuss the cost associated with various aspects of technology implementation. Finally, this general cost framework is shown as a demo for an example of the food supply chain.
Cdk5-Dependent Phosphorylation of CaV3.2 T-Type Channels: Possible Role in Nerve Ligation-Induced Neuropathic Allodynia and the Compound Action Potential in Primary Afferent C Fibers

Published: November 2019

Voltage-gated T-type Ca2+(CaV3) channels regulate diverse physiological events, including neuronal excitability, and have been linked to several pathological conditions such as absence epilepsy, cardiovascular diseases, and neuropathic pain. It is also acknowledged that calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II and protein kinases A and C regulate the activity of T-type channels. Interestingly, peripheral nerve injury induces tactile allodynia and upregulates CaV3.2 channels and cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and spinal dorsal horn. Here, we report that recombinant CaV3.2 channels expressed in HEK293 cells are regulatory targets of Cdk5. Site-directed mutagenesis showed that the relevant sites for this regulation are residues S561 and S1987. We also found that Cdk5 may regulate CaV3.2 channel functional expression in rats with mechanical allodynia induced by spinal nerve ligation (SNL). Consequently, the Cdk5 inhibitor olomoucine affected the compound action potential recorded in the spinal nerves, as well as the paw withdrawal threshold. Likewise, Cdk5 expression was upregulated after SNL in the DRG. These findings unveil a novel mechanism for how phosphorylation may regulate CaV3.2 channels and suggest that increased channel activity by Cdk5-mediated phosphorylation after SNL contributes nerve injury-induced tactile allodynia.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTNeuropathic pain is a current public health challenge. It can develop as a result of injury or nerve illness. It is acknowledged that the expression of various ion channels can be altered in neuropathic pain, including T-type Ca2+channels that are expressed in sensory neurons, where they play a role in the regulation of cellular excitability. The present work shows that the exacerbated expression of Cdk5 in a preclinical model of neuropathic pain increases the functional expression of CaV3.2 channels. This finding is relevant for the understanding of the molecular pathophysiology of the disease. Additionally, this work may have a substantial translational impact, since it describes a novel molecular pathway that could represent an interesting therapeutic alternative for neuropathic pain.
Biblical hapax legomena in the Reflection of the Translation (on the Material of the Book of Job from the Vilna Old Testament Book (F 19–262) and the Polish Bibles of the 16th century)
Authors: Kozhinowa Alla , Sourkova Alena
Published: November 2019

The article examines the linguistic aspects of the translational reflection on hapax legomena from the Book of Job. Lexical correspondences to the Hebrew hapax in Ruthenian (prosta(ja) mova) and Polish are compared with the material from Vilnius Old Testament Florilegium (F 19–262) (approx. 1517–1533), the Radziviłł Bible (Biblia Radzivillovska) (1563), and the Nesvizh Bible (Biblia Nieświeska) (1568–1572) by Symon Budny. All translations demonstrate examples of both etymological interpretation and representation of figurative meaning based on the closest context. Facts of the usage of classical Jewish exegetic comments suggest the existence of a traditional understanding of the “dark places” in the Book of Job.
Identifying Two Parts of the 1635 Ruthenian Manuscript of the Didactic Gospel
Authors: Kravchuk Denis
Published: November 2019

The article is devoted to the identification of two storage units in the Lviv National Vasyl Stefanyk Scientific Library of Ukraine, which are parts of the once-single Ruthenian Didactic Gospel and, thus, originate from the territory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The identification is made on the basis of the text, the handwriting of the scribe, the number of lines per sheet, and the time of the manuscript creation (1635).
Really the word is found … (On the Linguistic Characteristics and Reasons for the Popularity of toksichnyj (toxic), the “Word of the Year”)
Authors: Kazimianec Jelena
Published: November 2019

The article deals with the semantics and syntactical features of the word toxic named “word of the year” (2018) by the Oxford Dictionary. In Russian, its analogue – toksichnyj – has also gained immense popularity and almost unlimited metaphorical compatibility in expressions that characterize interpersonal relationships. The author shows semantic and syntactic differences between the word токсичный (“toxic”) and its synonym ядовитый (“poisonous”). The article analyzes the word as a privately-estimated predicate that is species-specific with respect to the Russian predicate плохой (“bad”). The author proposes a hypothesis of the spread of this word in the language, associated with the transfer of the qualities of an inanimate object to an animate, characteristic of the modern representation of man as an artifact.
