Authors: Kirchweger Franziska , Kirchengast Sylvia , Hafner Erich , Stümpflein Ingrid , Hartmann Beda
Published: July 2018

The association patterns between maternal age and foetal growth parameters as well as newborn size were analysed using a dataset of 4737 singleton term births taking place at the Viennese Danube hospital. Foetal growth patterns were reconstructed by the results of three ultrasound examinations carried out at the 11th/12th, 20th/21th and 32th/33thweek of gestation. In detail, crown-rump length, biparietal diameter, fronto-occipital diameter, head circumference, abdominal transverse diameter, abdominal anterior-posterior diameter, abdominal circumference, and femur length were determined. Birth weight, birth length and head circumference were measured immediately after birth. Young teenage mothers (≤15 years), older adolescent mothers (16-19 years), mothers of optimal age range (20-35 years) and mothers of advanced age (>35 years) differed significantly in body height, pre-pregnancy weight status and gestational weight gain. Surprisingly, the foetuses of young adolescent mothers were the largest ones during first trimester. During the second and third trimester however, the foetuses of mothers of optimal age range (20-35 years) and mothers older than 35 years showed larger biometric dimensions than adolescent mothers. According to multiple regression analyses, maternal age was significantly related to Foetal head size (ß =-0.04; 95% CI = -0,08 – 0.01; p=0.034) and abdominal dimensions (ß= 0.03; 95% CI = 0.01-0.05; p=0,011) during the second trimester and to birthweight (ß= -0.03; 95% CI= -4.40 – 0.04; p=0.050). The associations however, are quite weak and the statistical significance is maybe due to the large sample size. At the time of birth, offspring of mothers of optimal age range (20 to 35 years) is significantly larger than that of adolescent mothers and mothers of advanced age. Mothers of advanced age showed the significantly highest (p=<0.0001) prevalence (5.6%) of SGA newborns (<2500g). The small size of newborn among young adolescent mothers may be due to a competition over nutrients between the still growing mothers and the foetuses during the third trimester, while placental ageing may be responsible for smaller size of offspring among mothers of advanced age.
Enamel hypoplasia in a Mesolithic (5900±100 BC) individual from Woźna Wieś (Poland): a case study
Authors: Tomczyk Jacek , Ostrowska Agnieszka
Published: July 2018

Modern anthropological research includes very sophisticated diagnostic methods. They allow us to obtain information that has not been available so far. The aim of this paper is to analyze, using current microscopic technologies, the Mesolithic dental material of one adult individual from Woźna Wieś (Poland). The present case study will focus on the analysis of enamel hypoplasia. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to count the number of perikymata building on the hypoplastic line. Linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) was diagnosed only on the right mandibular canine. The time of occurrence of environmental disturbance was estimated between about 4.2 and 4.9 years of age. The occlusal wall built the enamel hypoplasia with no more than three to four perikymata, meaning that the physiological stress had to have occurred over a fairly short period of time (about 30–40 days).

Published: July 2018

Face databases have assumed an important role in a variety of clinical and applied research domains. However, the number of datasets accessible to the scientific community is limited and the knowledge of their existence may be concealed from a wider range of specialists. In the present paper we introduce a sizeable dataset of 3D facial scans – FIDENTIS 3D Face Database (F3D-FD or FIDENTIS Database), which is accompanied by basic demographic and descriptive data. The database is structured according to recorded subjects, and comprises single-scan entries as well as a smaller number of multiscan entries. The multi-scan entries vary in the time passed between recording sessions and in the devices employed to collect the 3D data. The total number of 2476 individuals puts our database within the category of large-scale databases. The 3D scans are accessible through a web-based interface at www.fidentis.cz. A licensed version of the database is available to interested parties upon signing a license agreement. Because of its varied composition, and low target-specificity the database has capacity to be of great assistance for the worldwide research community.

Published: July 2018

The concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in sediment samples from the New Calabar River in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria were determined. Grab sediment samples were collected from five stations in the river and analyzed for individual PCB congeners using gas chromatography - mass spectrometer. The Σ8PCB (sum of eight congeners) identified in the samples ranged from 0.21 to 2.16 mg/kg. Congener 105 and 194 were the most and least abundant with 34.65 % and 2.46 % respectively. The lower chlorinated congeners (below PCB 101) were prominent with 54.68 % of the total PCBs concentration in the sediments. The results of this study should make PCBs contaminants of grave concern in the Niger Delta Region.
Institutional Arrangement for Macroproprudential Policy – On Differences Across the EU Countries
Authors: Matysek-Jędrych Anna
Published: July 2018

There is a growing consensus among both economists‑academics and policymakers that there was at least one missing element of the financial safety net during the Global Financial Crisis. This element, which will probably improve financial stability (or protect against financial instability), is the macroprudential orientation in regulatory and supervisory frameworks. The main scope of the paper is the institutional dimensions of macroprudential policy. The principal purpose of the paper is to identify and assess, on a comparative, cross‑EU‑country basis, existing practices and developments in structuring a new dimension of the financial stability policy, i.e., a macroprudential one. The paper builds on existing theoretical considerations and the author’s own empirical survey of country practices in applying a macroprudential framework. A comparative, cross‑country analysis and a comparison of different sub‑indices and overall index values are the basis for verifying hypotheses and empirically disentangling the institutional differences between macroprudential policy regimes in European Union countries. The paper sheds light on recent trends in macroprudential policy governance and qualitative aspects (democratic accountability and transparency), with special attention to the position of a central bank across the European Union countries. The conducted research is a basis for constructing ratings of macroprudential authority accountability and transparency across the EU countries, which gives an indication of the overall quality of the institutional arrangements.
The “Taste of Life” as a Mechanism of Overcoming Corruption
Authors: Hurnyak Ihor , Kordonska Aleksandra
Published: July 2018

The issue of measuring the “taste of life” is one of the main tasks in the proces of management decentralization in the state. The term “taste of life” is considered to be the degree of an individual’s satisfaction from living, functioning and carrying out his own activity in society in accordance with economic rules and orders. To solve this problem, three approaches were applied by considering the “taste of life” as a function of state authorities’ services, shadow activity and communal budget. Based on mathematical modelling and the results of expert surveys in 50 communities in the Ukrainian environment, authors made an attempt to identify the degree of state’s regularities in society and to test the constructed models. According to the results, a higher “taste” on the basis of state services caused a decrease in the likelihood of a person returning after the possibility of working and living abroad. The higher “taste” caused the smaller sensitivity to institutes of the shadow economy. At the same time, the “taste” on the basis of shadow services correlates negatively with sensitivity to the state’s official engagement in business and penalties for informal activity. So, the higher this segment, the smaller the sensitivity. The behavior of those who consider communal services and the work of the community as a basic variable is quite different. The “taste” on the basis of community services cannot explain the sensitivity to the shadow institutes and dynamics of emigration. Consequently, decentralization is a way of overcoming corruption.
The Causal Relationship between Financial Development and Investment: a Review of Related Empirical Literature
Authors: Muyambiri Brian , Odhiambo Nicholas M.
Published: July 2018

This article reviews the theoretical and empirical literature on the causal relationship between financial development and investment. Based on the literature considered, it can be concluded that there is little consensus to date on the direction of causality between financial development and investment. The study concludes that most of the research done on the causal relationship between financial development and investment is highly skewed towards assessing the causal relationship between the bank‑based side of financial development, as compared to the market‑based side of financial development. Given the number of studies assessed, the causal relationship between financial development and investment appears to be inconclusive, at best. Moreover, the study shows that the relationship between these two macroeconomic variables seems to differ from country to country; it is dependent on the proxies used to measure the level of financial development, as well as the methodology employed.
Life cycle management in upgrade and renewal of civil infrastructures

Published: July 2018

In the forthcoming decades, many objects in transport infrastructure networks will come to the end of their technical, economical or functional lifespan. The replacement and renovation will require substan­tial budgets and a timely start to secure the current functionalities. These challenges are a main concern for asset managers. However, the replacement programmes also have the opportunity not only to maintain the cur­rently needed functionalities and quality but also for the timely adaptation of infrastructure networks to changing demands, because these will determine the value of these networks in the future. This will give added value not only to asset managers, but also to users (e.g. increased func­tionality), enterprises (e.g. new business opportunities), stakeholders (e.g. increase of liveability) and society as a whole (e.g. increased sustainability). Each replacement and renovation is an opportunity to make infrastruc­ture networks more fit for future economic and environ­mental needs. This means a shift in thinking for asset managers to a broader view. This paper proposes strate­gies for asset managers to cope with the challenges and opportunities. The traditional approach focuses on the delivery, but the key for the replacement and renovation programme is to focus on the whole life cycle through life cycle management (LCM). From the LCM-approach, four perspectives are presented to strategic decision-making on replacements and renovations: (1) broadening towards a network approach as an opportunity for redesign, (2) developing innovations for increasing requirements and budget restrictions, (3) realizing adaptive networks to cope with future challenges and (4) combining function­alities to increase added value. Ultimately the goal is to maximize value for society.
Power spectral and bispectral study of factors affecting employee turnover
Authors: Tam Vivian W.Y. , Le Khoa N.
Published: July 2018

Voluntary employee turnover can cause organ­izations to lose profits and competitiveness. Unexpected employee turnover may also result in project delay and reduction in project quality. It is important to control employee turnover rate and maintain good employees within an organization. This paper investigates the major causes of voluntary employee turnover in engineer­ing industries. Australia, Mainland China, and Taiwan were selected for the investigation. Questionnaires were administered, and structured interviews were conducted. Power spectrum was used for the analysis. It was found that “Good physical working environment”, “Receiving advanced training”, and “Short travel distance between home and work” are the major job-related ideal factors for the Australian, Mainland China, and Taiwan respondents, respectively. However, “Far distance between work and home” and “Dislike the colleague relationships” are found as the major factors for leaving jobs for the Australian/ Taiwan and Mainland China respondents, respectively. Recommendations to improve and to control employee turnover rate are also discussed.

Published: July 2018

To assess the genetic and environmental components of gene-expression variation among trees we used RNA-seq technology and Eucalyptus urophylla x grandis hybrid clones tested in field conditions. Leaf and xylem transcriptomes of three 20 month old clones differing in terms of growth, repeated in two blocks, were investigated. Transcriptomes were very similar between ramets. The number of expressed genes was significantly (P<0.05) higher in leaf (25,665±634) than in xylem (23,637±1,241). A pairwise clone comparisons approach showed that 4.5 to 14 % of the genes were diffe­rentially expressed (false discovery rate [FDR]<0.05) in leaf and 7.1 to 16 % in xylem. An assessment of among clone variance components revealed significant results in leaf and xylem in 3431 (248) genes (at FDR<0.2) and 160 (3) (at FDR<0.05), respectively. These two complementary approa­ches displayed correlated results. A focus on the phenylpro­panoid, cellulose and xylan pathways revealed a large majo­rity of low expressed genes and a few highly expressed ones, with RPKM values ranging from nearly 0 to 600 in leaf and 10,000 in xylem. Out of the 115 genes of these pathways, 45 showed differential expression for at least one pair of geno­type, five of which displaying also clone variance compo­nents. These preliminary results are promising in evaluating whether gene expression can serve as possible ‘intermediate phenotypes’ that could improve the accuracy of selection of grossly observable traits.

PEMBAGIAN HARTA WARIS KEPADA ANAK KANDUNG NON MUSLIM MELALUI WASIAT WAJIBAH
Authors: Apriyudi Eka
Published: July 2018

Pemberian wasiat wajibah kepada ahli waris yang non muslim dewasa ini bertujuan untuk menciptakan rasa keadilan bagi anak-anak yang ditinggal mati oleh ayahnya yang beragama Islam. Mekipun demikian dalam Al-Qur’an maupun hadis tidak membenarkan anak yang non muslim mewarisi harta dari ayahnya yang beragama muslim. Melalui wasiat wajibah tersebut anak yang non muslim dapat diberikan warisan dari ayahnya. Kondisi tersebut melatarbelakangi penelitian ini dalam rangka mengetahui (1) Bagaimana kedudukan anak non muslim terhadap harta warisan pewaris beragama Islam? dan (2) Bagaimana pembagian harta waris kepada anak kandung non muslim melalui wasiat wajibah? Sejalan dengan permasalahan penelitian ini, maka jenis penelitian hukum yang digunakan bersifat penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, pendekatan konsep dan pendekatan kasus. Teknik pengumpulan bahan hukum dilakukan melalui studi kepustakaan. Teknik analisis bahan hukum yang digunakan merupakan analisis yuridis. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa (1) Kedudukan anak non muslim terhadap harta warisan pewaris beragama Islam adalah bukan sebagai ahli waris dimana dalam Hukum Waris Islam tidak mengenal adanya pewaris kepada orang yang berbeda agama (non-muslim), karena tujuan dari kewarisan itu sendiri menurut konsep maqashid al-syariah (tujuan diturunkannya syariat Islam) secara operasional adalah untuk memelihara harta dan keturunan. Hal ini yang menjadi alasan bahwa kedudukan hak anak non muslim atas warisan pewaris muslim diatur dalam Hukum Waris Islam yang berlaku di Indonesia yang menempatkan anak yang beragama lain dari agama yang dipeluk pewaris tidak memperoleh warisan tetapi memperoleh wasiat wajibah; dan (2) Pembagian harta waris kepada anak kandung non muslim melalui wasiat wajibah yang intinya menyatakan bahwa ahli waris yang beragama bukan Islam tetap bisa mendapat harta dari pewaris yang beragama Islam berdasarkan wasiat wajibah yang bagiannya sama dengan bagian anak perempuan sebagai ahli waris, sehingga anak non muslim berhak mendapatkan bagian harta warisan pewaris muslim sebagai penerima wasiat wajibah.

Published: July 2018

In the church at Ozem three phases of mosaics were identified, placed on different levels. The early group (A) includes: 1. Part of the carpet of the nave, decorated by a frame depicting a cross with the Geek letters ΑΩΙΧ, flanked by two lions, an amphora, stylized plants, birds, a donkey and peacocks, and a frame of alternating lotus flowers. The carpet consists of geometric medallions, floral patterns, birds and dedicatory inscriptions. 2. A narrow geometric panel. 3. Two geometric inter-columnar panels of the north colonnade. 4. Part of the mosaic of the northern aisle, decorated with a geometric pattern, and an inscription in a medallion dated to the year 430/1 CE.Mosaic group B (the second stage of the church) has been preserved to the west of mosaic group A. The mosaics were laid at a 13˚ deviation to the north in relation to group A. This group is decorated with geometric designs.Mosaic group C (the third stage of the church) is preserved on the western side of the excavation area. This group is decorated with geometric designs.Mosaic group A includes Christian symbols: a pair of lions, symbolizing the faithful, depicted on either side of a cross with the letters ἄ(λϕα) (καί) ὤ(μέγα) and Ἰ(ησοῦς) Χ(ριτός) – Jesus Christ - between its arms, and a peacock, which symbolizes the resurrection awaiting the believers. Group A is characterized by a flat and schematic style, and imperfect placement of the designs in the composition. Because of the difference in heights, it is clear that group B is later than group A. The work shows greater care and is of a better quality, evidence of a different group of artists. The mosaics in group C are the latest in the building.
Effectiveness of Enriched Demonstration and Lecture Instructional Strategies on Senior Secondary School Studentsâ€™ Achievement in Chemistry
Authors: Achimugu Lawrence
Published: July 2018

The study determined the relative effectiveness of enriched demonstration and lecture instructional strategies on senior secondary school studentsâ€™ achievement in Chemistry. To achieve this, two research questions and three hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. Quasi-experimental design: specifically the pre-test, post-test, non-equivalent and non-randomized control group was adopted for the study. A total sample of one hundred and sixty-six (166) SS 1 students, drawn using multi-stage sampling technique were used for the study. The instrument used for data collection was Chemistry Achievement Test (CAT, r=0.82). Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions, while analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses. Findings from the study revealed that: there is significant difference between the achievement of students exposed to two enriched instructional strategies and those exposed to enriched traditional lecture strategy; there is no significant difference between male and female students exposed to the three modes of instructional strategies; and there is no significant interaction effect between the instructional strategies and gender. It was recommended that chemistry educators should focus attention on reforming or enriching the traditional instructional strategies and that chemistry teachers should particularly make use of the enriched demonstration strategy in their classroom interactions, among others.Â

Published: July 2018

Lung cancer is one of the most fatalÂ tumors at present. Although early lung cancer canÂ be effectively intervened through surgery, the five-year survival rate is less than 55% because of itsÂ tendency for relapse and drug resistance. With theÂ development of immunotherapy, suchÂ methods likeÂ activating the immune system and relieving immuneÂ tolerance have become the new direction in theÂ systemic treatment of tumors. The newly discoveredÂ mechanism of immunostimulatory fatigue explainsÂ why immunotherapy is not very effective in someÂ patients and finds that low-dose decitabine canÂ relieve immunostimulatory fatigue. Whatâ€™s more,Â radiotherapy has a significant effect on the killing ofÂ local tumors, then disintegrated tumor cells can releaseÂ antigens and further activate the bodyâ€™s immuneÂ system. Therefore, immunotherapy in combinationÂ with radiochemotherapy has shown great prospects ofÂ achieving efficacy on patients with lung cancer fromÂ systemic and local levels. This article describes the newÂ progress of that method in treating lung cancer.
A Statistical Study to Investigate the Efficiency of Steel and Polypropylene Fiber in Enhancing the Durability Properties of Concrete Composites
Authors: Singh Niraj Kumar , Rai Baboo
Published: July 2018

Concrete deterioration is associated with factors like surface abrasion and transport of water through capillary action in the concrete matrix. These factors may catalyze other forms of deformation such as cracking and corrosion of reinforcing steel. This paper presents an experimental evaluation to compare the effectiveness of steel and polypropylene fiber in enhancing the mechanical and durability properties, in terms of impact, sorptivity, and abrasion. In the present study, abrasion resistance is strongly related to flexural strength as high correlation coefficient existed as compared to that of compressive strength and split tensile strength. Sorptivity test results demonstrated a substantial decrease in capillary porosity when PPF is used in concrete.  The average initial sorptivity versus fiber volume fraction represents a linear relationship with high R2 value. Positive correlations were also detected between abrasion and initial sorptivity of ordinary Portland cement concrete composite with polypropylene fiber.

Authors: Tavakoli Reihaneh , Kamgar Reza , Rahgozar Reza
Published: July 2018

The main goal of this paper is to investigate the effect of blast phenomenon on structures to determine the best location of belt truss system in tall buildings. For this purpose, one of the exterior frames of a tall steel building, in which the belt truss is located, is considered. The steel frame model is subjected to two different charges of equivalent weight which are applied in two different standoff distances. In this research, the best location of the belt truss system is determined using OpenSees software based on the nonlinear dynamic analysis. The best location of the belt truss system for different types of loading is investigated both with and without considering the post-buckling effect for all members of the belt truss system. The results show that when blast charges are located in a 5-meter range from the building (R=5), post buckling effect of truss elements are more obvious than the case in which blast charges are located in a 10-meter range (R=10); this, in turn, causes the amount of base moment to be completely different when the belt truss is located in the first storey in comparison to the cases where the belt truss is located in any other stories. In addition, if the explosion occurs near the building when the base moment is considered as a criterion, the post buckling effect has a significant role.
Effects of Aspect Ratio and Plate Thickness on the Behavior of Unstiffened Steel-Plate Shear Walls with Pinned and Rigid Connections
Authors: Abdi Rahim , Abdoli Yazdi Nader
Published: July 2018

Unstiffened steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) have been in use mostly in recent years. In this numerical study, the buckling behavior of a single-storey single-bay unstiffened SPSW with two pinned and rigid beam-column connections under lateral loading is investigated. The SPSW had different wall aspect ratios (L/h=1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3) and infill plate thicknesses (tw= 3, 5, and 7 mm). Their effect on the buckling behavior of SPSW was examined using buckling analysis in ABAQUS software. Results indicated that with the increase of infill plate thickness, the lateral resistance of unstiffened SPSW system increases, but by increasing wall aspect ratio, its resistance decreases. In both connection designs, the model with L/h=1 (square-shaped model) showed better ductility and higher stiffness and strength in all three thicknesses. Maximum shear stress responses of SPSW models showed that in pinned design with L/h=1, the most change in shear stress values was 8% when infill plate thickness reached from 5 to 7 mm; while for rigid connection, it was reported as 7% when it increased from 3 to 5 mm. This indicates that in rigid connection, increasing the infill plate thickness has less effect on the increase of lateral resistance. By examining the performance of rigid and pinned beam-to-column connections with different wall aspect ratio and infill plate thickness, it was found out that maximum shear stress in rigid connection increased by 11% compared to pin connection. It was concluded that an optimum unstiffened SPSW model had a wall aspect ratio of 1 and infill plate thickness of 7 mm.
The Influence of Intertextuality on Aesthetic Principles in Postmodernist Painting and Architecture
Authors: Damirchi Loo Leila
Published: July 2018

Intertextuality reflects certain studies theories shaped in recent decades and has been widely used in artistic and literary studies as well as other studies in the field of Humanities. Intertextuality is not merely a theoretical notion in literary studies since its influence embraces the intellectual and cultural field as a whole. Intertextuality not only challenges many traditional beliefs, but also addresses the fact that a culture is constantly seeking to prove its own originality and identity through suppressing plurality, diversity, altruism, and dissent shall never tolerate the inevitable consequences of this concept. On the other hand, as a cultural and historical term, Postmodernism often invokes in one’s mind notions of hybridization, emulation, and combination of pre-established styles and trends. In the same way, contemporary art relies on certain visually distinguishable images of classical paintings. Apparently, Intertextuality serves to highlight the important notions of the fundamental relationship as well as the mutual bond and interdependence in today’s cultural existence. This article studies how Intertextuality as a way of thinking has influenced the development of various painting and architectural styles. For this purpose, we first define Intertextuality and investigate how and why it has come to encompass its present meanings and applications.
