Technical Report: A preliminary Process Model for Investigation
Authors: Andersen Stig
Published: May 2019

Criminal investigation is an important part of most law enforcement organisations and a vital part of policing and crime-fighting. Yet it is among the least researched topics in police science. Other types of investigations are performed using the same overall methodology, but within different jurisdictions and with different objectives. Experience suggests that there is room for trans-organisational and inter-subject learning between various organisations performing investigations, and the miscellaneous fields of investigation and forensics. This document describes a preliminary investigation process model designed to be applicable in all situations where a systematic examination or study is performed. The model is based on previous work by contemporary scholars and shares similarities with Fahsing’s ”6 Cs” circular model. Descriptive Business Process Model and Notation 2.0 (BPMN 2.0) is used to visualise the process. The objectives are to express, detail and visualise the various investigation actions and the relationship between them, thus contributing to a greater understanding of the investigation process. The model also provides a framework on which further research can be conducted in this multi-disciplinary field.

La incorporación de Ricardo Palma a la Hispanic Society of America en 1907 y la correspondencia cursada hasta 1917
Authors: Mera Arnaldo
Published: May 2019

A partir de la revisión de la correspondencia inédita entre la Hispanic Society of America (HSA) y don Ricardo Palma pudimos encontrar ochocartas autógrafas del tradicionista, una nota sin firmar y el formulario de membresía también firmado y requerido después de cuatro años desu incorporación a dicha institución en 1907. Todo ello da nuevas luces a un período desconocido de su vida académica y profesional pues nohabía nada escrito con esta institución norteamericana; aquel intercambio epistolar abarcó una década (entre 1907 y 1917). Finalmente damosa conocer a otros peruanos que fueron miembros de dicha institución, incluyendo al último homenajeado en el año 2015.

Authors: Holguín Callo Oswaldo
Published: May 2019

Entre Ricardo Palma y Juana Manuela Gorriti existió una estrecha amistad durante más de cuatro décadas. Ella, quince años mayor, orientó al joven“bohemio” en sus primeros ensayos literarios; él apreció mucho su obra narrativa y la consideró parte del parnaso peruano. El artículo desarrollaalgunos de los capítulos de una amistad que fue también complicidad en empresas periodísticas y culturales, como las célebres veladas literariasrealizadas en Lima en 1876 y 1877.
Pollution sources and air quality in the Moscow Region
Authors: Chernogaeva G. M. , Zhadanovskaya E. A. , Malevanov Yu. A.
Published: May 2019

The paper analyzes the data from Roshydromet air pollution monitoring network in cities of the Moscow region, as well as the official Rosstat data on air pollution emissions from stationary sources and vehicles in Moscow and Moscow region over a 10-year period (since 2007), along with data from Roshydromet soil contamination monitoring network by heavy metals along federal routes in Moscow region for the period 2009–2016. Analysis showed that despite the closure of some industrial plants or moving some of them from Moscow to the Moscow region, the air quality in Moscow remained virtually unchanged for the last 10 years. The high traffic load and the density of the road network have led to the fact that most of the Moscow region has a double excess over the background values of pollutants, especially by heavy metals. The paper also presents trends and spatial variability of air quality in the region under study.
Frazil-Ice Nucleation by Mass-Exchange Processes at the Air-Water Interface
Authors: Osterkamp T. E.
Published: May 2019

The physical requirements for proposed frazil-ice nucleation theories are reviewed in the light of recent observations on frazil-ice formation. It is concluded that spontaneous heterogeneous nucleation in a thin supercooled surface layer of water is not a viable mechanism for frazil-ice nucleation. Efforts to observe crystal multiplication by border ice have not been successful. The mass-exchange mechanism proposed by Osterkamp and others (1974) has been generalized to include splashing, wind spray, bubble bursting, evaporation, and material that originates at a distance from the stream (e.g. snow, frost, ice particles, cold organic material, and cold soil particles). It is shown that these mass-exchange processes can account for frazil-ice nucleation under a wide range of physical and meteorological conditions. It is suggested that secondary nucleation may be responsible for large frazil-ice concentrations in streams and rivers.

De-icing of Radomes and Lock walls using Pneumatic Devices
Authors: Ackley S. F. , Itagaki K. , Frank M. D.
Published: May 2019

A rough comparison between thermal and mechanical methods of de-icing indicates that mechanical methods could potentially de-ice with an order-of-magnitude less energy than that required to melt an ice accretion. Two applications of mechanical de-icing using pneumatically driven inflatable de-icers are described in this report. The first of these was the de-icing of a small cylindrical radome used for air navigational purposes. Two seasons of testing were conducted with a de-icer consisting of an inflatable-deflatable flexible plastic covering. The de-icer was driven by tanks with pressure and vacuum reservoirs that were recharged by an on-site air compressor in response to a pressure sensor. The de-icing cycle was activated by an ice detector so the system responded to icing events on a demand basis driven by the ice detector. The system proved successful in keeping the radome free of ice without manned operation and with small energy consumption in a mountain icing environment. The second application was an attempt to de-ice the walls of locks used in river navigational facilities. Ice usually formed at the high-water-mark by the freezing of the water exposed to low air temperatures or by the pressing of ice against the walls by ships using the locks. The de-icers consisted of air-driven hoses mounted on the wall covered by a thick flexible rubber mat and protected from ship damage by steel outer plates. This method was successful in removing ice accumulations up to 2 m long by 0.3 m thick over the area covered by the de-icer. Installation costs and the necessity for protection of the de-icer against abrasion by ships may make this de-icing method prohibitively expensive compared with methods which are not as susceptible to damage by ships (e.g. chemical coatings and electrical heating cables buried in the walls).

In conclusion, carvacrol is a promising natural antibacterial compound with potential application in food preservation and infection.Keywords：Carvacrol, antibacterial mechanisms, biofilm, quorum sensing
Anti-inflammatory effect of foods and crude drugs in relation to bitter and spicy tastes
Authors: Ikeya Yukinobu , Epp Denise A. , Nishizawa Mikio
Published: May 2019

Backround: In Kampo medicine as well as traditional Chinese medicine, each crude drug is classified by four properties (cold, cool, warm, and heat), five tastes (sour, bitter, sweet, spice, and salt) based on the Yin-yang and five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) theory. The four properties and five tastes are greatly related to the medicinal efficacy of the crude drug in Kampo medicine. The pharmacological function of crude drugs is called "Yakuno" in Japanese. Examples of Yakuno include various functions such as clearing heat and removing blood stasis. Crude drugs with properties classified as cold or cool have the function to clear heat as they cool the body. Crude drugs classified as bBitter also have the function to clear heat. We speculated that anti-inflammatory constituents are included in crude drugs and food that are classified as cold or cool in property and bitter in taste.Keywords: crude drug, Kampo medicine, food, property, taste, nitric oxide, inflammation, pharmacological function
Conduct of everyday life – some views and insights
Authors: Brandl Werner
Published: May 2019

Everyday – according to Merriam-Webster and Cambridge Dictionary a term used for routinely, ordinary, typical, usual. That sounds like banality and triviality, habit and trot – in short: little excitement and nothing interesting at all! It is therefore not surprising that there are little reason and little interest in the scientific mainstream to discuss life-world and conduct of everyday life – in addition to references to simple necessity and private responsibility. A tour d’horizon – in the sense of an informative overview of topics discussed.
Neuroprotective Potential of Curcumin-Loaded Nanostructured Lipid Carrier in an Animal Model of Alzheimer’s Disease: Behavioral and Biochemical Evidence

Published: May 2019

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases and is caused by accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide and is associated with neurological abnormalities in learning and memory. The protective role of curcumin on nerve cells, along with a potent antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity, has been widely studied. However, its low bioavailability and limited transport ability across the blood-brain barrier are two major drawbacks of its application in the treatment of different neurodegenerative diseases. The present study was designed to improve the effectiveness of curcumin in the treatment of Aβ-induced cognitive deficiencies in a rat model of AD by loading it into nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs). The accumulation rate of curcumin (505.76±38.4 ng/g–1 h) in rat brain, as well as its serum levels, were significantly increased by using curcumin-loaded NLCs. The effective role of NLCs for brain delivery of curcumin was confirmed by reduced oxidative stress parameters (ROS formation, lipid peroxidation, and ADP/ATP ratio) in the hippocampal tissue and improvement of spatial memory. Also, histopathological studies revealed the potential of Cur–NLCs in decreasing the hallmarks of Aβ in AD in the animal model. The result of studying the neuroprotective potential of Cur-NLC in both pre-treatment and treatment modes showed that loading curcumin in NLCs is an effective strategy for increasing curcumin delivery to the brain and reducing Aβ-induced neurological abnormalities and memory defects and that it can be the basis for further studies in the area of AD prevention and treatment.

The accumulation of amyloid-β protein (Aβ) and tau in the brain is a major pathological change related to Alzheimer’s disease. We have continued to develop Extracorporeal Blood Aβ Removal Systems (E-BARS) as a method for enhancing Aβ clearance from the brain. Our previous report revealed that dialyzers effectively remove blood Aβ and evoke large Aβ influxes into the blood, resulting in a decrease in brain Aβ accumulation after initiating hemodialysis, and that patients who underwent hemodialysis had lower brain Aβ accumulation than those who did not. Here, plasma total tau concentrations from 30 patients undergoing hemodialysis were measured using an ultrasensitive immunoassay and compared to those from 11 age-matched controls. Plasma total tau concentrations were higher in patients with renal failure regardless of whether they underwent hemodialysis, suggesting the involvement of the kidneys in tau degradation and excretion. Hemodialyzers effectively removed blood Aβ but not extracorporeal blood tau. The influx of tau into the blood was observed at around the 1 h period during hemodialysis sessions. However, the influx amount of tau was far smaller than that of Aβ. Furthermore, histopathological analysis revealed similar, not significantly less, cerebral cortex phosphorylated tau accumulation between the 17 patients who underwent hemodialysis and the 16 age-matched subjects who did not, although both groups showed sparse accumulation. These findings suggest that hemodialysis may induce both tau and Aβ migration into the blood. However, as a therapeutic strategy for Alzheimer’s disease, it may only be effective for removing Aβ from the brain.
Long-Term Neurological Consequences Related to Boxing and American Football: A Review of the Literature
Authors: Casson Ira R. , Viano David C.
Published: May 2019

The long-term effects of repetitive head trauma on the brain have often been studied in boxers and American football players. The medical literature on this topic was reviewed in order to compare the findings related to boxing with those related to football. The evidence gathered from this review indicates that there are significant differences between the clinical and neuropathological descriptions of the chronic brain damage reported in retired boxers compared to those reported in retired football players. Differing biomechanics of head impacts in the two sports may help explain the different clinical and neuropathological consequences of participation in boxing versus football.
Associated Factors of Total Costs of Alzheimer’s Disease: A Cluster-Randomized Observational Study in China
Authors: Yan Xin , Li Fangyu , Chen Shuoqi , Jia Jianping
Published: May 2019

Background:

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) exerts a heavy burden on China. Substantial factors are found associated with high expenditure of AD in high-income countries. To date, few studies have been conducted in China.

Objective:

This study aimed to analyze the associated factors of the total annual costs of AD in China.

Methods:

Data were drawn from a multi-center, cross-sectional, socioeconomic study on the costs of AD conducted in China from October 2015 to March 2016. Generalized linear model (GLM) using gamma distribution with a log-link function was employed to examine the associated factors of the total cost.

Results:

Univariate analysis showed that the demographic and clinical characteristics of AD patients and their caregivers had a substantial impact on the total cost. In GLM analysis, age, monthly household income, AD severity, number of comorbidities, and treatment with memantine were associated with higher expenditure, while the use of a nursing home/care facility was associated with lower expenditure. The mean annual costs for patients with severe dementia were almost twice as high as those for patients with mild dementia (US$ 25,601 versus US$ 13,387, p < 0.001). The mean total cost of AD patients with at least five comorbidities (US$ 38,348) was almost three times than those with no comorbidities (US$ 13,744).

Conclusion:

In China, AD severity and comorbidities were the most critical factors impacting the total cost. Optimizing care patterns, delaying disease progression, and managing comorbidities comprehensively could decrease the heavy burden of AD.
Cerebrospinal Fluid Concentrations of Extracellular Matrix Proteins in Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Minta Karolina , Portelius Erik , Janelidze Shorena , Hansson Oskar , Zetterberg Henrik , Blennow Kaj , Andreasson Ulf
Published: May 2019

Background:

Brevican, neurocan, tenascin-C, and tenascin-R are extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins that are mainly expressed in the brain. They play important roles in proliferation and migration of neurons and other cell types in the brain. These ECM proteins may also be involved in various pathologies, including reactive gliosis.

Objective:

The aim of the study was to investigate if ECM protein concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are linked to the neurodegenerative process in Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Methods:

Lumbar CSF samples from a non-AD control group ( n = 50) and a clinically diagnosed AD group ( n = 42), matched for age and gender, were analyzed using commercially available ELISAs detecting ECM proteins. Mann-Whitney U test was used to examine group differences, while Spearman’s rho test was used for correlations.

Results:

Brevican, neurocan, tenascin-R, and tenascin-C concentrations in AD patients did not differ compared to healthy controls or when the groups were dichotomized based on the Aβ42/40 cut-off. CSF tenascin-C and tenascin-R concentrations were significantly higher in women than in men in the AD group ( p = 0.02).

Conclusion:

ECM proteins do not reflect AD-pathology in CSF. CSF tenascin-C and tenascin-R upregulation in women possibly reveal sexual dimorphism in the central nervous system immunity during AD.
Posting on „Nie szczepimy („We don’t vaccinate”) Internet forum
Authors: Cianciara Dorota , Szmigiel Andrzej
Published: May 2019

INTRODUCTION. In Poland, there is a visible strengthening of hesitant attitudes towards vaccination, as well as institutionalization and politicization of hesitancy. The Internet is an important source of information about vaccinations. People who are looking for such information can find negative opinions on the web, so it is important to keep track of the content there. There is no national research on Internet anti-vaccination content.
AIM. To examine posting on the online forum “Nie szczepimy” (We don’t vaccinate).
MATERIAL AND METHODS. The number of new users and new posts in the years 2008-2018 was examined, as well as the type of content and design of the selected 407 posts from 2009-2015. Categories according to Wolfe RM et al. (2002) were used for coding content and design of posts.
RESULTS. The number of users and posts was increasing for the first four years and then started to decrease. The most frequently discussed topic was the relation between vaccination and idiopathic illnesses (26.1%). The most common design was providing links to anti-vaccine sites (29.9%)
CONCLUSIONS. The content of the posts is very diverse and shows numerous users’ doubts. A significant part of the posts had a strongly emotional form. It would be important to regularly monitor various services and forms of communication on the Internet in terms of the content of anti-vaccinaton information.

Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT
Member States of the World Health Organization (WHO), in accordance with the requirements of the International Health Regulations (2005), were obliged to establish National Focal Points for International Health Regulations (IHR NFP), whose task is, among others, consolidating information on public health events of international importance that occur abroad or in the country. The aim of this article is to review information on measles-related events posted on the Event Information Site for IHR National Focal Points, in the Early Warning and Response System (EWRS), received by email directly from other IHR National Focal Points located in WHO member states, and from all organs of the State Sanitary Inspectorate in Poland in the years 2016-2018.
In this time period, the IHR NFP recorded 92 measles-related events of which 38 related to individual cases, 37 to outbreaks of the disease, and 17 involved exposure to a measles case. 36% of reported events were aviationrelated. The number of events in 2018 has tripled compared to 2017 and increased eightfold in comparison to 2016. The current situation indicates the need to take appropriate actions, including implementation of the National Vaccination Program as well as introducing vaccination interventions.

RETURNS TO EDUCATION AND WAGE DISTRIBUTION IN INDONESIA: A COMPARISON ACROSS GENDER GROUPS
Authors: Kadir Kadir , Sukma Weni Lidya
Published: May 2019

Abstract. This study is aimed to estimate the returns to education in Indonesia not only at the mean but also across the whole distribution by implementing quantile regression techniques and doing a comparison between gender groups. It also relates the estimation results to the two channels through which education affects the wages inequality, i.e., between-and within-educational-levels earning differentials. We found that education has a positive and significant impact on wage distribution implying that increasing the level of education could shift the wages distribution to the right. In general, the estimates of the returns to education for the female is higher than male. For each gender group, our study also confirms the presence of both the between-groups wages inequality associated with the difference in educational levels among individuals and the within-groups wages inequality caused by the difference in ability among individuals in the same level of education. Our findings suggest that promoting the same level of education for all, particularly tertiary education, could bring down the wages inequality although at the same time the inequality may still exist due to the difference in unobserved characteristic among individuals at the same level of education.

Matrix Analysis of Repetitive Circulant Structures: New-block and Near Block Matrices
Authors: Kaveh Ali , Joudaki Ali
Published: May 2019

In many scientific fields and several problems, Block Circulant Matrices (BCM) have been used for a long period of time. Each row of the BCM is a cyclic shift of its upper row to the right. BCM has been studied widely and there are closed-form solutions for problems of BCM. In these problems, the properties of near-BCM and BCM lead to a significant decrease in computational cost and efforts. In other words, these matrices are useful to perform some computational operations at the low cost. This study introduces a method for transforming a structure into a new type of Block Circulant Structure (BCS) by applying minor modifications. Furthermore, transformation of structural matrices into Block Circulant Matrices is discussed, and the properties of these matrices are then described in details. The methods introduce calculating eigenvalues and eigenvectors of these matrices instead of calculating the inverse of their matrices. To achieve this goal, the properties of near-Block and Block Circulant Matrices are used to analyze the structural stiffness matrices. In addition, the inverse of stiffness matrices for structures are calculated and utilized in structural mechanics. For clarification of efficiency and accuracy of the method, some examples are presented.

The Validity of the Inquiry Model Intervened by the Reflective Process to Facilitate Preservice Teachers' Critical Thinking Ability. Critical thinking has become the main competency of 21st century learning and encourages the development of learner critical thinking at the higher education level regarded as an important outcome of education. This study develop an inquiry learning model which are intervened by reflective processes in their teaching, or in its development called Reflective-Inquiry Learning (RIL) Model which is specifically aim to improve critical thinking ability of preservice teachers. This research is the first step in development research in which the RIL model developed was constructed based on theoretical and empirical studies so that it gave birth to a hypothetical framework of the RIL model itself. The RIL model product was then validated by involving 7 experts as validators through the focus group discussion (FGD) mechanism. Validation aspects include content validity and construct validity. The data from the validation of the model were analyzed descriptively by averaging the results of validation. The validation results of the RIL model show that the validity level (Va) of 4.28 in a very valid category. Whereas Va in the content validity and construct validity aspects are 4.26 and 4.32, both in the very valid category. The hypothetical framework model developed based on the conceptual frame and the results of its validation is provided in this article.

İflas Tasfiyesinde Geçici Dağıtma
Authors: Aşık İbrahim
Published: May 2019

İflas tasfiyesinde müflisin haczi mümkün olan bütün malvarlığı kural olarak tasfiyeye dahil olur. Bu nedenle iflas tasfiyesi uzunca bir zamanı gerektirebilir. Tasfiye devam ederken iflas masasındaki bazı malların satışı yapılmış ama bazı mallar henüz satılamamış olabilir. Bunun yanında iflas alacaklılarına ilişkin davalar henüz sonuçlanmamış olabilir. İşte bu durumlarda satış sonucu elde edilen paranın bekletilmesi iflas alacaklılarının zararına olur. Bu nedenle kanun bu durumlarda elde edilen paranın alacaklılara dağıtılabilmesi için geçici dağıtma imkanı getirmiştir. Bu çalışmada geçici dağıtma-kesin dağıtma kavramları, bunlar arasındaki farklar, geçici dağıtmanın şartları ve geçici dağıtmanın sonuçları üzerinde durulmuştur. Geçici dağıtma kararının sonuçlarına değinilirken, geçici dağıtma kararının alacaklılar toplanmasına etkisi, iflas masasına geç başvuran alacaklıların durumu irdelenmiştir.

Dünya Bankası Grubunun en genç üyesi olan Çok Taraflı Yatırım Garanti Ajansının (MIGA) temel amacı, üye ülke yatırımcılarının, diğer üye ülkelerdeki yatırımları sebebiyle uğrayabilecekleri ticari olmayan riskleri garanti altına almaktır. Bu amaç çerçevesinde MIGA Konvansiyonu’nda, ev sahibi devletteki “döviz transferi”, “kamulaştırma ve benzeri tedbirler”, “savaş ve toplumsal kargaşa durumları” ve “sözleşmenin ihlali” risklerine karşı garanti sağlanmıştır. Konvansiyon kapsamında MIGA garantisinden faydalanmaya elverişli yatırım türleri ile yatırımcıların özelliklerine de yer verilmiştir. Konvansiyon’da ayrıca, Ajans ve üye devletler arasında ortaya çıkabilecek uyuşmazlıklara ilişkin olarak, müzakerelerden sonuç alınamaması halinde, “uzlaştırma” veya “tahkim” yollarına başvurulması öngörülmüştür. Söz konusu uyuşmazlık çözüm yolları bakımından; uzlaştırmacının tayini, hakem heyetinin teşekkülü, uyuşmazlığa uygulanacak hukuk ve tesis edilen kararların icrası konularında özgün hükümlere yer verilmiştir. Türkiye’nin 1988 yılından bu yana üye olduğu MIGA, ülkemizde son yıllarda özellikle sağlık, ulaşım ve finans sektörlerinde önemli yatırımlara garanti sağlamıştır. Bahse konu hukuki çerçevenin analizi, ülkemizin MIGA garantisi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen yatırımlara ilişkin hak ve yükümlülüklerinin tespiti bakımından önem arz etmektedir.

İnsan hakları hukukunda yaşam hakkının korunma alanı geniş bir çerçevede ele alınmaktadır. Avrupaİnsan Hakları Sözleşmesinin bu hakkı düzenleyen 2. maddesi, olağanüstü hallerde bile içerdiğiyükümlülüklerin askıya alınamayacağı az sayıdaki Sözleşme hükümlerinden biridir. Gerek doktrinde,gerekse uluslararası yargı içtihatlarında yaşam hakkının korunmasının uluslararası teamül hukukununtemel ilkesini oluşturduğu kabul edilmektedir. Bu anlayışın uzantısı olarak Avrupa İnsan HaklarıMahkemesi kararlarında 2. maddeden kaynaklanan devlet yükümlülükleri genişletilmiş, üçlü bir ayrımçerçevesinde değerlendirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada söz konusu ayrıma göre devletin negatif, pozitif veusuli yükümlülükleri nazara alınarak Mahkemenin ilgili kararları derlenmiştir. Bu bağlamda ne türuyuşmazlıkların hangi devlet yükümlülükleri çerçevesinde ele alındığı tespit edilmiş ve Avrupa İnsanHakları Mahkemesinin yaşam hakkının korunmasına yönelik analiz yöntemleri ortaya konulmuştur.
