Image of the Noble Abdelmelec in Peele’s The Battle of Alcazar
Authors: Al-Olaqi Fahd Mohammed Taleb
Published: April 2016

There is no ambiguity about the attractiveness of the Moors and Barbary in Elizabethan Drama. Peele’s The Battle of Alcazar is a historical show in Barbary. Hence, the study traces several chronological texts under which depictions of Moors of Barbary were produced about the early modern stage in England. The entire image of Muslim Moors is being transmitted in the Early Modern media as sexually immodest, tyrannical towards womanhood and brutal that is as generated from the initial encounters between Europeans and Arabs from North Africa in the sixteenth century and turn out to be progressively associated in both fictitious and realistic literatures during the Renaissance period. Some Moors are depicted in such a noble manner especially through this drama that has made them as if it was being lately introduced to the English public like Muly (Note 1) Abdelmelec. Thus, the image of Abdelmelec is a striking reversal of the traditional portrayal of the Moors. This protagonist character is depicted as noble, likeable and confident. He is considerately a product of the Elizabethan playwrights’ cross-cultural understanding of the climatic differences between races of Moorish men.

Published: April 2016

The purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge and attitude of primary school teachers in Tehran (Iran) towards attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and specific learning disability (SLD). This study was conducted on 205 primary school teachers in Tehran. Using multi-stage sampling, 25 schools were selected randomly. The selected teachers completed a self-report questionnaire on knowledge and attitude towards ADHD and SLD. They were found to have average knowledge of as well as mostly neutral attitudes towards SLD and ADHD. There was a positive significant relationship between knowledge and attitude scores of the participants on the two disorders. Regarding students with ADHD or SLD, instead of referring to specialists, most teachers chose to inform the parents. Our findings mainly indicate average knowledge and attitude scores for both ADHD and SLD-compared to lower findings in previous studies. Those responsible for organizing and holding in-service training workshops on these issues need to have complete mastery and up-to-date information. It is necessary that the results of such studies be used in educational planning and policy making in the Ministry of Education. 
Macroeconomics and Drug Use: A Review of the Literature and Hypotheses for Future Research
Authors: Nicholson Thomas , F. Duncan David , Ellis-Griffith Gregory , Michimi Akihiko
Published: April 2016

Despite more than a century of drug prohibition, problems of addiction and drug abuse continue to be major global public health and criminal justice concerns (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 2015). It has long been obvious that many of these problems are entwined with other economic and social issues. The editors of The Economist, in reporting evidence of a decline in drug use in the UK, speculated on the impact of the concurrent economic slowdown and commented that, “few academics have studied the link between drug use and macroeconomic performance, and what work exists is inconclusive” (Drug use and abuse: The fire next time, 2011). The goal of this paper will be to examine the work that exists on this topic and to propose a set of hypotheses to be tested in future studies.
Ethical Assumptions: A Criticism against Modern Pragmatism
Authors: E. Korstanje Maximiliano , Skoll Geoffrey
Published: April 2016

The advent of neoliberalism in the early 1970s marked a new age for ethical practices. Although pragmatism as an approach to ethics pre-dated neoliberalism, the neoliberal approach to political economy ushered in a new kind of pragmatism, owing little to Jeremy Bentham, even less to the American philosophical pragmatists Charles S. Peirce, William James, and John Dewey. Today’s pragmatism has permeated the penal systems of the central countries of the world capitalist system. A new ethics emerged, a neopragmatism. Acts came to be judged by their effects and not by the motives that led to the actions. This altered the doctrine of Abrahamic religions, and led to the disappearance of forgiveness as a moral good.
Analyzing the Synchronization between the Financial and Business Cycles in Turkey
Authors: Akar Cüneyt
Published: April 2016

The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between the financial and business cycles in Turkey. A quarterly dataset was used for the analysis that covers the period from 1998Q1 to 2014Q4. The cycles were obtained with a Hodrick-Prescott (HP) filter design. The concordance index values, cross-correlation values and Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC) model were used to identify the characteristics of the relationships between the financial and business cycles. The empirical results revealed that the financial and business cycles are highly synchronized in Turkey. The results also indicate that while the credit volume cycle is the leading factor of the GDP cycle, the GDP cycle leads from the BIST 100 cycle in Turkey. The last significant conclusion is that the positive and high dynamic conditional correlations between the financial and business cycles experienced a break during the 2008 global crisis.
Microwave-assisted magnetization reversal using transient precession of magnetization in permalloy hexagons
Authors: Okano Genki , Nozaki Yukio
Published: April 2016

Microwave-assisted magnetization reversal utilizing a transient precession of magnetization was demonstrated in a permalloy hexagon by applying a 25-ns-wide microwave field and a 500-ps-wide pulsed field with a tunable delay to the microwave field. The switching field in a combination of these two fields becomes smaller than that in only the microwave field, and this additional reduction in switching field oscillates relative to the delay time. From the comparison with the results of micromagnetic simulations, we found that the oscillatory behavior is attributed to the beats in transient precession that occurs in the early stage of microwave-field-induced magnetization excitation.
Evidence for a trophic cascade on rocky reefs following sea star mass mortality in British Columbia
Authors: Schultz Jessica A. , Cloutier Ryan N. , Côté Isabelle M.
Published: April 2016

Echinoderm population collapses, driven by disease outbreaks and climatic events, may be important drivers of population dynamics, ecological shifts and biodiversity. The northeast Pacific recently experienced a mass mortality of sea stars. In Howe Sound, British Columbia, the sunflower starPycnopodia helianthoides—a previously abundant predator of bottom-dwelling invertebrates—began to show signs of a wasting syndrome in early September 2013, and dense aggregations disappeared from many sites in a matter of weeks. Here, we assess changes in subtidal community composition by comparing the abundance of fish, invertebrates and macroalgae at 20 sites in Howe Sound before and after the 2013 sea star mortality to evaluate evidence for a trophic cascade. We observed changes in the abundance of several species after the sea star mortality, most notably a four-fold increase in the number of green sea urchins,Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis, and a significant decline in kelp cover, which are together consistent with a trophic cascade. Qualitative data on the abundance of sunflower stars and green urchins from a citizen science database show that the patterns of echinoderm abundance detected at our study sites reflected wider local trends. The trophic cascade evident at the scale of Howe Sound was observed at half of the study sites. It remains unclear whether the urchin response was triggered directly, via a reduction in urchin mortality, or indirectly, via a shift in urchin distribution into areas previously occupied by the predatory sea stars. Understanding the ecological implications of sudden and extreme population declines may further elucidate the role of echinoderms in temperate seas, and provide insight into the resilience of marine ecosystems to biological disturbances.

Published: April 2016

Fláajökull is a non-surging outlet glacier draining the south-eastern part of the Vatnajökull, southeast Iceland. Fláajökull was stationary or advanced slightly between 1966 and 1995 and formed a prominent end moraine. Glacial retreat since then has revealed a cluster of 15 drumlins. This study focuses on the morphology and sedimentology of the drumlins. They are 100–600 m long, 40–130 m wide, and have cores of glaciofluvial sediment or till. The drumlins are draped by ~1 m thick, massive subglacial traction till. The glacier forefield is characterized by a number of arcuate and saw-tooth, terminal and recessional moraine ridges, overridden moraines with fluted surfaces, and glaciofluvial outwash. Some of the drumlins extend towards the 1995 end moraine but terminate abruptly at the moraine and are not observed in front of it. This suggests that they were formed sub-marginally during the 1966–1995 terminal position. The sedimentary structure of the drumlins is best explained by the sticky spot model. Dating and dendrochronological analyses of birch logs found on the surface of one of the drumlins indicate that the valley was forested about 2100 calendar year BP, after which the glacier started to reform, possibly due to an abrupt change in climate.
SINGULAR RATIONALLY CONNECTED THREEFOLDS WITH NON-ZERO PLURI-FORMS
Authors: OU WENHAO
Published: April 2016

This paper is concerned with singular projective rationally connected threefolds$X$which carry non-zero pluri-forms, that is the reflexive hull of$({\rm\Omega}_{X}^{1})^{\otimes m}$has a non-zero global section for some positive integer$m$. If$X$has$\mathbb{Q}$-factorial terminal singularities, then we show that there is a fibration$p$from$X$to$\mathbb{P}^{1}$. Moreover, we give a formula for the numbers of$m$-pluri-forms as a function of the ramification of the fibration$p$.
A JACOBEAN ANTIQUARY REASSESSED: THOMAS LYTE, THE LYTE GENEALOGY AND THE LYTE JEWEL
Authors: Hunt Arnold , Thornton Dora , Dalgleish George
Published: April 2016

This paper discusses two objects once owned by the antiquary Thomas Lyte (1568–1638). The Lyte Genealogy, now in the British Library, is an illustrated pedigree of Britain’s monarchs, tracing the royal succession through multiple lines of descent from the Trojan prince Brute. It demonstrates the importance of antiquarianism, and the continuing relevance of the traditional British history derived from Geoffrey of Monmouth, in supporting the legitimacy of the Stuart succession. The Lyte Jewel, now in the British Museum, is a tablet miniature containing a portrait of Jamesiby Nicholas Hilliard, presented to Thomas Lyte by the king as a reward for his work on the Genealogy. New evidence points to the king’s jeweller, George Heriot, as its likely designer. Together, the Lyte Genealogy and the Lyte Jewel offer new insights into the antiquarian pursuits of the early Stuart gentry and the intellectual and material culture of the Jacobean court.

Are reference works still needed in this age of digital reproduction, when there are more than five million English language entries in Wikipedia? Their function has changed, surely. With so much information available online, printed reference books need higher justifications, not merely the collection and collocation of information, but presenting it in new and imaginative ways that give its users insights, as well as a pleasurable reading experience. In other words, reference works need to become reference books.
‘Following Uncle Hồ to save the nation’: Empowerment, legitimacy, and nationalistic aspirations in a Vietnamese new religious movement
Authors: Hoang Chung Van
Published: April 2016

This article investigates new religious movements that have emerged in post-Renovation Vietnam. The formation and development of movements that worship Hồ Chí Minh will be examined through the Way of the Jade Buddha. My analysis of this indigenous movement will discuss its controversial attempts to establish communication with the spirit of Hồ Chí Minh. It is argued that the movement is a channel through which people can empower themselves, seek legitimacy, and promote nationalistic aspirations. The emergence of such movements demonstrates the ongoing millenarian dream of social transformation in the face of the challenges of international integration and the tensions caused by maritime conflicts with China.
An examination, translation and analysis of pencil inscriptions made under the bunks in the hut at Cape Adare by members of Borchgrevink's British Antarctic Expedition, 1898–1900
Authors: Mayer Jim
Published: April 2016

28 individual poems, notes, or drawings found and photographed under the bunks at Borchgrevink's hut at Cape Adare, Antarctica during two short visits on 1 February and 19 February 2015, are catalogued, translated and in many cases a source is identified. It has been possible to read and translate 24 of 28 markings. The relevance of a number of quotations, which express unhappiness with the leadership of the expedition and the emotional reaction of expedition members, are examined and placed in the context of the first over-wintering. Further targeted investigation, requiring specific permission, is suggested.
UNCERTAIN RIGHTS AGAINST DEFENSE
Authors: van der Vossen Bas
Published: April 2016

In this essay, I defend a theory of liability to defensive force. The theory contains two elements. The first is a dual Lockean-inspired condition. The second aims to make this first condition consistent with problems arising from uncertainty. Drawing on recent work by Michael Zimmerman, I argue that the rights-based condition should be made sensitive to the evidence available to defenders.
China English: Attitudes, legitimacy, and the native speaker construct
Authors: Edwards Jette G. Hansen
Published: April 2016

China English (CE) is the fastest growing variety of English in the world. While some estimate that there are between 200–400 million learners of English in mainland China, other researchers put the numbers between 440–650 million (cf. Bolton & Graddol, 2012; He & Zhang, 2010). Although not all learners of English in China will become active users of English, the numbers above are staggering, especially if we consider that the population of the United States is currently 319 million (United States Census Bureau, 2014). As Kirkpatrick (2007: 151) notes, CE is ‘soon likely to be the most commonly spoken variety of English in Asia’. One could argue that, judging by the numbers given above, CE will become the most commonly spoken variety of English in the world.
A Disaggregative View of Customary International Law-Making
Authors: VOYIAKIS EMMANUEL
Published: April 2016

This article argues that some familiar principles, like the protection of reasonable expectations or fair play, can justify the normative force and binding character of some types of customary international practices. We have no reason to think that any one of those principles can justify all customary practices that are typically taken to have such force. Accordingly, instead of proposing a unifying justification for all customary international law-making, I will suggest that the impact of past international practices on the normative situation of international agents is determined not by one master principle, but by a range of different normative principles, each applicable in different situations. If this is correct, i.e., if the principles that give customary practices their normative force vary depending on the kind of principle governing the practical problem that those practices are meant to respond to, both the critique and the defence of customary law-making must proceed on what I will call a ‘disaggregative’ basis.
Waltzing on the Vienna Consensus on Drug Control? Tensions in the International System for the Control of Drugs
Authors: BOISTER NEIL
Published: April 2016

This article examines the tensions within the international drug control system which are putting the until now consensual position in regard to the prohibition on drugs supply and use for anything other than medical and scientific use – the Vienna Consensus – under strain. The article examines a number of areas where policy stress is leading to controversy about potential violation of international drug control treaty obligations by states parties. Drawing a comparison with earlier periods of stress when drug control fell under the League of Nations, it suggests that what appears to be occurring is a shift in the Vienna consensus, and that the drug conventions are sufficiently flexible to permit resulting shifts in practice, although reform would be preferable.

High Anger Expression is Associated with Reduced Cortisol Awakening Response and Health Complaints in Healthy Young Adults
Authors: Romero-Martínez Ángel , Moya-Albiol Luis
Published: April 2016

The extant evidence suggests a robust positive association between expression (anger expression-out) and suppression (anger expression-in) of anger and compromised health. Nevertheless, the underlying psychobiological mechanisms which explain these relationships are not well understood. This study examined whether anger expression would predict general health, cortisol awakening response (CAR) and evening cortisol levels in a community sample of 156 healthy young adults of both genders. Participants were distributed into two groups according to their anger expression scores: high and low anger expression (HAE and LAE, respectively). Findings indicated that those with HAE had worse self-reported health (p = .02) and higher CAR than the LAE group (p = .04). Moreover, high levels of anger expression-out (p < .01) and -in (p < .01, for all) predicted a worse self-reported health in both groups. On the other hand, high anger expression-out was associated with flattened CAR but only in the HAE group (p < .01). This study reinforces the need to develop effective strategies to provide mechanisms to regulate anger expression by promoting personal growth and positive skills that enhance individuals’ well-being and quality of life and, in turn, their own health.

Published: April 2016

Abstract. Background: We evaluated the long-term outcome after endovascular revascularisation for acute limb ischaemia (ALI). Patients and methods: From a prospectively maintained database, 318 endovascular interventions for ALI were identified between 2004 and 2010. Event history and survival were analysed using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression. Endpoints were target vessel revascularisation (TVR), non-target extremity revascularisation (NTER), amputation, major vascular events, coronary artery revascularisation and amputation-free survival. Results: Follow-up data of 303 patients (mean age 68.5 ± 12.7 years, 40 % female) were available. The mean follow-up time was 38.7 ± 26.2 months. TVR was performed in 40.1 ± 2.9 % at 1 year and 66.5 ± 3.8 % at 5 years. NTER at 1 and 5 years were 7.1 ± 1.5 % and 29.2 ± 4 %, respectively. The proportion of patients who needed major or minor amputation was 4.3 ± 1.2 % after 1 year and 9 ± 2.1 % after 5 years. Amputation-free survival at 1 year was 90.3 ± 1.8 % and 74.8 ± 3.2 % at 5 years. Coronary artery disease (HR 2.22, 95 % CI 1.33 to 3.7, p = 0.002) and atrial fibrillation (HR 2.56, % CI 1.3 to 5.04, p = 0.007) were independently associated with a worse amputation-free survival. The cumulative proportion surviving one year following acute limb ischemia was 95.4 ± 1.2 % and 79.7 ± 3.1 % after 5 years. Conclusions: Long-term amputation-free survival after successful revascularisation for ALI is high; negative predictors are coronary artery disease and atrial fibrillation.

Quantum hyperparallel algorithm for matrix multiplication
Authors: Zhang Xin-Ding , Zhang Xiao-Ming , Xue Zheng-Yuan
Published: April 2016

Hyperentangled states, entangled states with more than one degree of freedom, are considered as promising resource in quantum computation. Here we present a hyperparallel quantum algorithm for matrix multiplication with time complexity O(N2), which is better than the best known classical algorithm. In our scheme, an N dimensional vector is mapped to the state of a single source, which is separated to N paths. With the assistance of hyperentangled states, the inner product of two vectors can be calculated with a time complexity independent of dimension N. Our algorithm shows that hyperparallel quantum computation may provide a useful tool in quantum machine learning and “big data” analysis.

Characterization of key triacylglycerol biosynthesis processes in rhodococci

Published: April 2016

Oleaginous microorganisms have considerable potential for biofuel and commodity chemical production. Under nitrogen-limitation, Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 grown on benzoate, an analog of lignin depolymerization products, accumulated triacylglycerols (TAGs) to 55% of its dry weight during transition to stationary phase, with the predominant fatty acids being C16:0 and C17:0. Transcriptomic analyses of RHA1 grown under conditions of N-limitation and N-excess revealed 1,826 dysregulated genes. Genes whose transcripts were more abundant under N-limitation included those involved in ammonium assimilation, benzoate catabolism, fatty acid biosynthesis and the methylmalonyl-CoA pathway. Of the 16 atf genes potentially encoding diacylglycerol O-acyltransferases, atf8 transcripts were the most abundant during N-limitation (~50-fold more abundant than during N-excess). Consistent with Atf8 being a physiological determinant of TAG accumulation, a Δatf8 mutant accumulated 70% less TAG than wild-type RHA1 while atf8 overexpression increased TAG accumulation 20%. Genes encoding type-2 phosphatidic acid phosphatases were not significantly expressed. By contrast, three genes potentially encoding phosphatases of the haloacid dehalogenase superfamily and that cluster with, or are fused with other Kennedy pathway genes were dysregulated. Overall, these findings advance our understanding of TAG metabolism in mycolic acid-containing bacteria and provide a framework to engineer strains for increased TAG production.
