El Monumento como instrumento de identidad nacional
Authors: Guarrera Fabio
Published: February 2019

Entre 1860 y 1950 la arquitectura italiana tuvo la tarea de construir la imagen moderna de

una nación joven. Se les pedía a los arquitectos de apoyar la política para construir, a través

de la arquitectura, edificios que transmitieran mensajes de identidad, sociales y colectivos.

Este proceso ha sido particularmente fuerte en el período del fascismo (1922-1943),

o sea, la época de Benito Mussolini. A través de mensajes fuertes y profundamente unidos

a la antigua tradición romana, el fascismo buscaba construir una identidad compartida

para garantizar la duración del régimen. Los elementos básicos sobre los cuales construir

esta identidad eran los monumentos, lugares donde la masa de las personas sentía la

necesidad de reconocerse para expresar el culto de la patria.

El artículo analiza varios monumentos, desde la construcción del Vittoriano por Giuseppe

Sacconi, hasta el monumento Ardeatine del grupo Fiorentino-Perugini: una evolución

histórica que se une profundamente a la piedad del pueblo italiano

Authors: Ahmed Farhan , Awais Iqra , Pervaiz Anjum
Published: February 2019

This study aims to investigate the volatility between Conventional and Islamic stock market by deploying Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedastic (ARCH) model and Generalized ARCH (GARCH) models along with their variants, Power ARCH (PARCH), Threshold ARCH (TARCH) and Exponential GARCH (EGARCH) on comparable stock market index. Karachi Stock Exchange 30 index (KSE-30) was cross examined with the volatility of KSE Meezan Index (KMI-30) and Dow Jones Islamic Market Index (DJIMI) with Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) to determine the existence of correlation and impact in the volatility of indices. Time effect is being analyzed in the study where the response time to external factors of growing Islamic Market Index is compared to that of a mature Conventional Market Index by applying lags and testifying the ARCH effect on the stationary data, arrived through Augmented Dickey Fuller test, including daily closing prices from 2012 to 2016. The results assess the most appropriate model for each index to be applied for the purpose of forecasting on the basis of volatility. It also established the relationship between comparable index volatility with identifying common denoting factor either the type of the index, that is, Islamic and Conventional or the Geographical Boundaries of the index.

Published: February 2019

In order to prevent and correct the defecation disorders after destruction of the anococcygeal ligament, the meth-od of restoring its functional capacity was proposed (Patent of Ukraine for Invention No. 115280 “Method for Coccyx Re-moving”).

It is proved that the damaging effect in the area of the traction and contraction mechanism of action on the rectum in 90.0% leads to continence disorders due to changes in the size of the anorectal angle due to the persistent disorders of the anococcygeal ligament function. The developed special mathematical model of the anococcygeal ligament function testifies that, when it is destroyed, the change in the anorectal angle value may reach changes in its value up to ≈63°, which distorts the direction of the anal canal and the distal rectum. Restoration by simulating of the anatomical fixation of anococcygeal ligament connection after its damage creates conditions for resto-ration of its physiological functioning.

The psychology of clothing
Authors: Kodžoman Duje
Published: February 2019

We select clothes that we’re purchasing and wearing according to the meaning we believe them to have, or
the messages we believe them to send. But what are psychological consequences of clothing, and how does
clothing express something about the user? To assess the state of knowledge about the communicative nature
of fashion, the aim of this review was to provide a concise and succinct literature overview of over twenty
empirical studies of the above-mentioned concept. The psychology behind clothing is classified into 3 thematic
categories in this paper: a) the meaning of colors in clothing psychology; b) the socio-psycological impact of
clothing; and c) gender (in)equality regarding clothing. Finally the last chapter brings a concise study of a
few recent fashion shows, brands and trends. It is doubtless that both clothing and appearance serve as an
important socializing influence and a form of communication.
The Relationship Between Participation in Out-of-Class Activities and Cognitive and Social Outcomes of Korean College Students
Authors: Bae Sang Hoon , Jeon Sue Bin , Han Song le
Published: February 2019

In the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, higher education institutions should change practices of educational programs and services, which are mainly based on traditional classroom-based instructions, to allow students to have more diverse experiences. Since college students spend relatively more time engaged in out-of-class activities than attending regular courses, it is necessary to examine how participating in out-of-class programs is related to cultivation of the competencies that the future demands. This study explores the relationship between out-of-class activity participation and perceived change in cognitive and social outcomes of Korean college students. Five out-of-class activities were examined: learning community, undergraduate research, service learning, internship, and residential college programs. K-NSSE (Korea-National Survey of Student Engagement) data were analyzed using hierarchical linear model analysis. The study findings are consistent with the results of previous research that demonstrated a positive association between participating in out-of-class activities and students’ cognitive and social outcomes.
Effects of Thioflavin T and GSK-3 Inhibition on Lifespan and Motility in a Caenorhabditis elegans Model of Tauopathy
Authors: Gamir-Morralla Andrea , Sacristán Sandra , Medina Miguel , Iglesias Teresa
Published: February 2019

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is a powerful model organism to study lifespan and aging, protein aggregation, and neurodegeneration, as well as to carry out drug screenings. The C. elegans strain aex-3/T337 expresses human pathogenic V337M mutant tau under a pan-neuronal promoter and presents uncoordinated locomotion, accumulation of phosphorylated insoluble tau, and shortened lifespan. Herein we have used this strain to assay two compounds that could affect tau aggregation and/or phosphorylation, and looked for phenotypic changes in their lifespan and motility. The first compound is Thioflavin T (ThT), a member of the tetracycline family with protein antiaggregant properties, yet to be tested in a tauopathy model. The second is a novel small molecule, NP103, a highly selective inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), the main kinase contributing to pathogenic tau hyperphosphorylation. Importantly, we find that ThT extends lifespan of aex-3/T337 worms as it does with control N2 animals, showing both strains similar locomotion features under this treatment. By contrast, NP103 improves the paralysis phenotype of aex-3/T337 mutants but not their lifespan. Our results show that both treatments present beneficial effects for this model of tauopathy and encourage pursuing further investigations on their therapeutic potential for AD and other tauopathies.
How smart can government be? Exploring barriers to the adoption of smart government
Authors: Schedler Kuno , Guenduez Ali Asker , Frischknecht Ruth
Published: February 2019

Smart information and communication technologies (ICTs) are finding their ways into public administration, and numerous smart government efforts are marking the start of a new digitalization wave in the public sector. Despite being in the early stages of development, these initiatives promise a new model for the provision of public services: smart government. Because past technical innovations in the public sector did not reach their full potential, it is crucial to know the difficulties if one is to successfully address them. We explore the perceived barriers to the adoption of smart government in an early phase of implementation. We analyzed barriers, utilizing 32 interviews with actors involved in smart government initiatives. Cluster analysis helped us to identify six barrier groups: a lack of legitimacy, a lack of legal foundations, a lack of policy coherence, a lack of technical infrastructure, cost-benefit considerations, and a lack of innovation capacity. We distinguish between organizational and institutional barriers, and discuss restrictions and implications for praxis and future research.
The barriers to the opening of government data in the UK: A view from the bottom
Authors: Wang Victoria , Shepherd David , Button Mark
Published: February 2019

This paper explores some of the key barriers to Open Government Data (OGD) that responsible civil servants in the UK face as they try to comply with the UK-led OGD initiative. Empirically, we provide a quantitative analysis of the resources published on the government’s central OGD portal, data.gov.uk, and a unique insight into the publishing of OGD in the UK based on 22 interviews with responsible individuals at the operational level of publishing OGD. Our findings reveal that while the barriers to open government information have been substantially reduced, the barriers to open government data persist. Even the most enthusiastic responsible individuals face considerable obstacles in publishing OGD. Further, a key barrier to OGD in the UK is its impression management strategy based on its informational rather than data orientation. Due to the UK’s pioneering position in the OGD initiative, these findings are relevant to understanding and improving OGD programmes at local, national and international levels. The findings may subsequently lead to evidence-based strategies and policies.

Authors: Pankavec Sviatlana , Hanć Anetta , Barałkiewicz Danuta , Dryżałowska Anna , Zhang Ji , Falandysz Jerzy
Published: February 2019

Background. Mushrooms are a food that is often considered as an important source of minerals and other nutrients for consumers. There is little data on the minerals in mushrooms processed culinary and on the impact of processing.
Objective. The research was aimed at understanding the similarities and differences in the mineral composition (Hg, Li, Mg, Al, Co, Ni, Cu, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Ag, Cd, Cs, Sb, Tl, Pb, U, Ba, Cr, Zn, Mn and V) of white button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) processed in industrial conditions.
Material and methods. Fungal materials came from six producers. The elements were determined by ICP-MS DRC and CV-AAS using validated methods and QA/QC protocol. The interdependencies of 18 elements and 10 batches of mushrooms examined were tested with the help of principal component analysis.
Results. Some significant differences were found in the content and composition of minerals in marinated white button mushrooms depending on producer. Conserved white button mushrooms are poorer in major essential elements but also in toxic Hg, As, Ag, Cd, Sb, Tl or Pb which has been reported for unprocessed mushrooms.
Conclusions. The relatively higher levels of Ag in some batches seem to be largely explained by the quality of the substrate used for mushrooms cultivation, while of Li, Rb, Cs, Cr, Al, U, V, As and Mn (in part also of Ba and Sr) largely by the quality of the marinade.

Published: February 2019

Today globalization of the world market leads to the need for the constructive interaction within the international market and the formation of common accounting forms and standards. The multinational corporations represent organizations that have divisions in different countries of the world. Therefore preparation of clear and transparent financial reports for such companies requires the establishment of common international standards. International financial reporting standards (IAS or IFRS) have become such standards. They are designed to provide an understanding of the reporting forms, to give an objective assessment of the property, as well as to promote interaction between investors and potential investment objects located in different national accounting systems. One of the standards that is of great importance for the Russian Federation is IAS 41 "Agriculture". Agriculture is one of the leading sectors in our country, which supplies products to both domestic and foreign markets. Accordingly, the adoption of the Russian analogue of this standard and the implementation of its provisions is a significant and important issue of today's economic reality.Thus, the need to allocate biological assets in a separate accounting and economic category, their reflection in accounting and reporting at fair value in accordance with the provisions of IAS 41 determined the relevance of the topic, purpose, objectives and logic of this work. The article suggests the author's approach to the calculation of the fair value of biological assets.

Does Accounting Conservatism Mitigate the Operating Cash Flows Downside Risk?
Authors: Hamad Amneh , AL-Momani Mohammad , Al-Mawali Hamzah
Published: February 2019

The aim of this study is to investigate whether the two types of accounting conservatism (conditional and unconditional) mitigate the risk of falling operating cash flows in the presence of cash holdings of Jordanian companies for the period from (2005–2014) for a sample of (160) companies listed in Amman Stock Exchange (ASE). By using the principle components analysis method in the SPSS system to generate a composite measure for the measurement of the conditional conservatism (CC_CM) consisting of three measures: negative accruals (CC_NACC), current accruals to total accruals (CC_CACC), and accounting conservatism to the good news (CC_ACGN). As well as to generate another composite measure for the measurement of the unconditional conservatism (UC_CM) consisting of three measures: total accrual (UC_TACC), book to market (UC_BTM) ratio, and skewness (UC_Skew). In order to measure the downside risk of operating cash flows, we used the root lower partial moment of operating cash flow (RLPM_OCF). We find that two types of accounting conservatism are significantly positively effect on cash holdings. In addition, we conclude that there is a significantly negatively indirect effect for accounting conservatism on downside risk of operating cash flows in Jordanian companies that have cash holdings. It means that the increasing of the accounting conservatism leads to the increasing of cash holdings, which leads to mitigate the operating cash flows downside risk.

Multiple Authority Delegation in Art Authentication
Authors: Loiselle Mirka
Published: February 2019

In this paper, I expand upon the research on authority delegation begun by Overgaard and myself in our 2016 paper Authority Delegation. I argue that singular authority delegation – in which a community delegates authority over a given topic to a single expert community – should be distinguished from cases of multiple authority delegation. A community engages in multiple authority delegation iff that community delegates authority over a given topic to more than one expert community. Furthermore, multiple authority delegation can be further divided into two types: hierarchical and non-hierarchical. I examine two cases of authority delegation in the art market and argue that these cases model instances of hierarchical authority delegation.Suggested Modifications[Sciento-2017-0007]: Accept the following definitions of subtypes of authority delegation: Singular authority delegation ≡ community A is said to engage in a relationship of singular authority delegation over topic x iff community A delegates authority over topic x to exactly one community.Multiple authority delegation ≡ community A is said to engage in a relationship of multiple authority delegation over topic x iff community A delegates authority over topic x to more than one community. Hierarchical authority delegation ≡ a sub-type of multiple authority delegation where different communities are delegated different degrees of authority over topic x.Non-hierarchical authority delegation ≡ a sub-type of multiple authority delegation where different communities are delegated the same degree of authority over topic x. [Sciento-2017-0008]: Accept the following reconstruction of the contemporary authority delegation structure in the art market regarding the works of Monet: A work claimed to be by Monet is authentic if it is considered authentic by the Wildenstein Institute.[Sciento-2017-0009]: Accept the following reconstruction of the contemporary authority delegation structure in the art market regarding the works of Picasso: A work claimed to be by Picasso is authentic if it is has been certified as authentic by both Maya Widmaier-Picasso and Claude Ruiz-Picasso.[Sciento-2017-0010]: Accept the following reconstruction of the authority delegation structure in the art market regarding the works of Modigliani between 1997 and 2015: A work claimed to be by Modigliani is authentic iff (1) it is in the Ceroni catalogue raisonné or (2) if it is not in catalogue and has been certified as authentic by Marc Restellini.[Sciento-2017-0011]: Accept the following reconstruction of the contemporary authority delegation structure in the art market regarding the works of Renoir: A work claimed to be by Renoir is authentic iff (1) it has been certified as authentic by the Wildenstein institute or (2) it has not been dismissed by the Wildenstein institute and it is included in the Bernheim-Jeune catalogue.

A study of the dynamics of heart rate (HR) variability during the sessions of biofeedback training in the highlands (F. F. Konyuhov Everest expedition) was carried out. The sessions were held before the mountain climbing (session 1) and during the acclimatization at 6 400 m (session 2) and 5 300 m (session 3) above sea level. Two climbers close in age, physique and athletic skills participated in the experiment. Each session of BF training included several computer game trials. The purpose of trial was to decelerate the HR. The trial continued for 80-105 seconds. All sessions were held in the late evening between 22.00 and 24.00. Results. Both participants achieved effective the HR fall during all sessions of BF training and demonstrated certain dynamics of HR variability in each session. Based on the revealed dynamics we assumed that before climbing the HR fall was achieved by an increase in sympathetic activity (increase in LF/HF ratio) with a decrease in the overall level of autonomic activity (total power spectrum, TP). As BF training (with consolidation of a new skill) for the session 3 deceleration the HR in both participants was accompanied by an increase in the overall level of autonomic activity (TP) and a decrease in the stress index. The changes in autonomic balance sheet (the LF/HF ratio) during session 3 were oppositely directed. Conclusion. The data received suggest that the achievement of the final goal in the sessions of BF correction (deceleration of the HR) in two participants of the experiment was accompanied by shifts in the level of activity of autonomic regulation systems. In this case, the direction of the shifts depended on the stage of formation of the skill and was specific for each subject.

Umumi
Tarihler genel olarak insanlığın yaratılıştan başlayarak İslâm tarihi, Osmanlı
öncesi ve çağdaşı devletler ile Osmanlı tarihi hakkında geniş ölçekli bir
yelpazeyi içerir. Bu eserler genel anlamda hemen hemen aynı muhtevaya sahip
olmakla birlikte içeriklerinin sunum şekilleri açısından farklılıklar
göstermektedirler. Bu nedenle umumi tarihler kendi aralarında mufassal ve
muhtasar umumi tarihler olarak gruplandırılabilir. Bunlardan mufassal olanlar
içeriklerini ayrıntılı bir şekilde sunmuşlardır. Bunun en güzel örneklerini Gelibolulu
Mustafa Aliʼnin “Künhü’l Ahbar” ve Kâtip Çelebiʼnin Fezleketü’l akvâli’l-ahyâr
fi’ilmi’t-târîh ve’l-ahbâr  (Arapça
Fezleke)  / Takvîmü’t-Tevârih (Türkçe
Fezleke ) adlı eserlerinde görmek mümkündür. Muhtasar umumi tarihler ise
içeriklerini özet-hülasa bir biçimde kronolojik esaslı olarak oluşturmuşlardır.
Bunun örnekleri arasında ise Mevlana Şükrullahʼın Behçetü’t-Tevârih, Ramazân-zâde
Nişâncı Mehmed Paşaʼnın Târîh-i Nişâncı Paşa ve Cenâbî Mustafa Efendiʼnin
El-Aylemü’z-Zahir veya Gülşen-i Tevârîh, Hezârfen Hüseyin Efendiʼnin Tenkîh-i Tevârih-i
Mülük adlı eseri sayılabilir.

Bu
çalışmada muhtasar olarak kaleme alınan Behçetü’t-Tevârih, Târîh-i Nişâncı
Paşa, Gülşen-i Tevârîh ve Tenkîh-i Tevârih-i Mülûk eser-müellif eşleştirmeleri
tanıtılmıştır. Ayrıca muhtasar olarak yazılan eserlerde olayların özet-hülasa
şekilde anlatım içerik örneklerine yer verilmiştir.  Bu örnekler vasıtasıyla muhtasar umumi
tarihlerin ortak yönlerinin olayların ayrıntısını vermekten ziyade kapsam
geçerliliğine önem verdikleri ve daha fazla bilgi sunmayı amaçladıklarının
izahı çalışmalarına katkıda bulunulmak hedeflenmiştir. Bununla birlikte verilen
içerik örnekleriyle muhtasar umumi tarihlerin birbirlerinden ayrılan yönlerinin
temelde hangilerinin muhtasarlık içinde kısmi mufassallığa yöneldiği
hangilerinin ise muhtasarlık içinde daha da muhtasarlığa yöneldiği incelenmeye
çalışılmıştır.

The study was carried out using vacuum air pump sampler to collect particulate matter in the urban city roadsides. Elemental composition, size distribution and image interpretation of particles was analyzed using the methods of Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), respectively. Irwin road, the highly dense traffic area in Mysore city, has been selected for study purpose due to its high vehicular emissions. EDX analysis found that roadside particulate matter was dominated by black carbon (C) about 56% affected mostly by tail end pipe emissions. The samples were also rich in crustal elements like silicon (Si), iron (Fe), calcium (Ca), aluminium (Al), sodium (Na) and potassium (K) either in single elements or as chemical compounds. The results from DLS and SEM image interpretation showed that almost 90% of ambient particulate matter collected in the sampling site was in the size of fine particles (PM2.5) and around 74% of them have degree of roundness or circularity above 0.75.

Phenological pattern of some selected plant species were monitored in the forest of Kasubai-Harishchandragarh Wildlife Sanctuary located in the northern part of Western Ghats, India. Vegetative and reproductive phenology of 85 plant species including 63 trees 4 climbers and 18 shrubs were recorded through frequent field visits in different seasons for three years. The phenological events were divided into vegetative and reproductive phases (flowering and fruiting). During summer season 64 plant species were reported in flowering while in winter 41 species have been recorded in flowering and 27 species were accounted in flowering during monsoon season.Similarly, 58 species in fruiting were noted in summer while 32 plant species documented to be in fruiting during winter and 30 plants were reported in fruiting throughout monsoon. Two species were reported to be in flowering and fruiting throughout the year. From the data it is observed that the peak period of flowering was in September to November (mostly shrubs) and March to May (trees).From such studies one can know the highest and lowest reproductive period of forest community.

Pulmonary tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) . Immune response to M. tuberculosis is complex and several T cells, cytokines could play a role in protective response. In the present study CD4, CD8 and their cytokines such as (IL-4, IFN-ã) were analysed in response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen (ESAT-6 and PPD). Sixty seven active pulmonary TB patients were recruited 0 MF (Month follow up), followed up for 2MF and patients had completed 6 months of chemotherapy and patients had completed treatment at 6 months but further followed up after 3 months . The 45 control group consisted of PPD positive household contacts (HHC). In addition, IFNã production in PBMC cultures from 24 patients were measured following stimulation with the M.tb specific protein ESAT6 and PPD. We observed significantly higher CD4+ and CD8+ T cells producing IFN-ã in HHC as compared to patients and this finding suggests that there were defective IFN-ã production in patients and which remained low after 6 month chemotherapy, but after 9 month, levels again increased. These findings suggest the better performance of IFN-ã in HHC as compared to patients, may be the useful TB disease biomarkers in monitoring treatment success.

The objective of this study was to determine the relationship of C. fasciolaris with common rats. Cysticercus fasciolaris is the larval stage of Taenia taeniaeformis . Development of metacestodes ( Cysticercus fasciolaris) occur in the liver of rodents. An urban and a sylvatic cycle occurs. A total of 40 liver specimens of rats were examined. Histopathological examination revealed the presence of multiple hepatic cysts, and the C. fasciolaris larva was surrounded by granulation tissue. Large and separated ûbroblasts in different orientations with some neoplastic changes were seen in advanced hepatic cysticercosis. The bladder involved the larva and large chamber containing the small chamber and opalescent fluid. The scolex of the mature larva is distinctly large, bearing four lateral distinct suckers, a rostellum armed with double, and alternating rows of hooks.
