Recent genome-wide association studies have identified several single nucleotide polymorphisms in the forkhead box E1 gene (FOXE1) locus, which are strongly associated with the risk for thyroid cancer. In addition, our recent work has demonstrated FOXE1 overexpression in papillary thyroid carcinomas. To assess possible contribution of Foxe1 to thyroid carcinogenesis, transgenic mice overexpressing Foxe1 in their thyroids under thyroglobulin promoter (Tg-Foxe1) were generated. Additionally, Tg-Foxe1 mice were exposed to x-rays at the age of 5 weeks or crossed with Pten+/− mice to examine the combined effect of Foxe1 overexpression with radiation or activated phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt pathway, respectively. In 5- to 8-week-old Tg-Foxe1 mice, severe hypothyroidism was observed, and mouse thyroids exhibited hypoplasia of the parenchyma. Adult 48-week-old mice were almost recovered from hypothyroidism, their thyroids were enlarged, and featured colloid microcysts and multiple benign nodules of macrofollicular-papilloid growth pattern, but no malignancy was found. Exposure of transgenic mice to 1 or 8 Gy of x-rays and Pten haploinsufficiency promoted hyperplastic nodule formation also without carcinogenic effect. These results indicate that Foxe1 overexpression is not directly involved in the development of thyroid cancer and that proper Foxe1 dosage is essential for achieving normal structure and function of the thyroid.
Dose-dependent fluoxetine effects on boldness in male Siamese fighting fish
Authors: Dzieweczynski Teresa L. , Campbell Brennah A. , Kane Jessica L.
Published: March 2016

As the use of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) continues to rise, these compounds enter the environment in increasing frequency. One such PPCP, fluoxetine, has been found in detectable amounts in aquatic ecosystems worldwide, where it may interfere with the behavior of exposed organisms. Fluoxetine exposure has been found to influence boldness and exploration in a range of fish species; however, how it might alter behavior in multiple contexts or over time is rarely examined. To this end, the effects of fluoxetine on boldness over time were studied in male Siamese fighting fish. Three different groups of males (0, 0.5 and 5 µg l−1 fluoxetine) were tested in multiple boldness assays (empty tank, novel environment and shoal) once a week for 3 weeks to collect baseline measures and then at three different time points post-exposure. The effects of these varying exposure amounts on behavior were then examined for overall response, consistency and across-context correlations. Unexposed males were bolder in all contexts, were more consistent within a context, and had stronger between-context correlations than exposed males. Fluoxetine had dose-dependent effects on behavior, as males that received the higher dose exhibited greater behavioral effects. This study stresses the potential fitness consequences of fluoxetine exposure and suggests that examining behavioral effects of PPCPs under different dosing regimens and in multiple contexts is important to gain an increased understanding of how exposure affects behavior.

Authors: Родькин Павел , Rodkin Pavel
Published: March 2016

The article is devoted to a new economic and political entity — the Eurasian economic Union (EEU), becoming part of the "internal" tourism, in the context of the crisis of globalization and global tourism, associated with the increase in terrorist activity, chaos and instability in the world, including at popular tourist destinations. This process is one of the major challenges that has systemic consequences for the Russian tourism market in general. The article presents a topical subject and the strategic direction of the Eurasian tourism branding, the problems of formation within new political and economic conditions internal and Eurasian tourism market and its channels of communication to preserve and develop consumer standards set by the global tourism. As a condition of the tourist branding in the space of the EEU the mechanisms of sovereign ratings and brand protectionism are described. The considered processes have a direct impact on the Russian tourism market in the sphere of branding and marketing and require the scientific reflection and discussion.

Authors: Марченко Михаил , Marchenko Mikhail
Published: March 2016

The article deals with the main features and characteristics of judicial precedent in the Roman-German law system in comparison with the “classical” precedent — a source of Anglo-Saxon law. Among the features of the system of judicial precedent in the Roman-German law are the following: ambiguity of the phenomenon of precedent and its continental doctrine and concepts; secondary and dual nature of the precedent over other sources of law of that legal family; selective attitude to different branches of law; diversity of the legal basis of precedents in different countries and differentiated approach to the recognition of legal effect of precedents. The technical and legal aspects of a precedent in the system of the Roman-German law, in particular the special nature of the publications of decisions of the higher courts and others are pointed out. The main features and characteristics of judicial precedent and its doctrine in the Roman-German law are disclosed by the example of case law of Germany, France, Spain, Italy and some other countries.

Authors: Ливадная Юлия , Livadnaya Yuliya
Published: March 2016

The current article presents a comparative legal analysis of existing constitutions and acts of constitutional meaning of Asian States, which allowed the author to disclose universal and individual approaches of understanding of legal nature and concept of notion of crime and punishment as applied to constitutional legal regulation. Examples of identical statement of the main elements of crime and punishment in the constitutional acts of Asian countries (crime and punishment established by a law; punishment is determined by the court for act, which is an offence by the law at the moment of its commission; nobody can be subject to sentence more than is provided by the law at the moment of the crime; punishment has individual character) and the original national regulation of protection of separate public relations from criminal infringements (inviolability of state authority, public order and security, individuals’ rights and freedoms, right of ownership, historical and cultural heritage) are provided. The author made a conclusion that universal and individual approaches of understanding of legal nature and content of notion of crime and punishment are not strongly differentiable in constitutions of Asian countries. They are closely bound and are in constant cooperation. This is particularly evident when questions connected to deprivation of passive and (or) active electoral right as well as dismissal of heads of states and disqualification of officials of public authorities.

AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL LAW DOCTRINE: REVIVAL OF “JUST WAR” CONCEPT
Authors: Сазонова Кира , Sazonova Kira
Published: March 2016

This article discusses the views and opinions of American experts in the field of international law and international relations, devoted to a very ambiguous concept of “just war”. However, this concept raises many questions about its compliance with the contemporary international law, particularly in the context of the principle of non-use of force or a threat of force, which is fixed in the UN Charter. The subject of research is a range of works of American international lawyers on the substantive content and the legal aspects of “just war” concept. As research methods were used common scientific methods, such as induction, generalization, deduction, as well as comparative legal, historical, structural-functional methods. Reference to the concept of “just war” is often use in the speeches of American politicians, so it has a significant impact on the U.S. foreign strategy. Thus, the legal assessment of the “just war” concept is necessary in the context of the current international legal framework. In the Russian doctrine of international law the concept has practically no coverage, so the article is intended to fill this gap.

The obgect of research is the wheat grain yield improving by reducing the infestation of spring wheat. The research was carried out in 2013-2014 in the experimental fields of the Volga PRSISSP of P. N. Konstantinov in crops of spring wheat varieties Kinelskaya 59. Assessment of the abundance of field bindweed was carried out according to the method of Drude. Then the selected sheaves are dried and dealt into crop and weed components. In harmfulness field bindweed affects weather conditions of the growing season. Under the influence of field bindweed yield of spring wheat in arid 2013 decreased by 20% and more humid in 2014 by 44%. Dry weight stalks field bindweed in 2013 was 1.1 g, and in 2014 – 2.8 g, which determined its harmfulness higher in 2014. The loss of productivity of wheat grain under the influence of bindweed field in droughty 2013 happened, first of all, due to reduction of above-ground mass of wheat. This reduces the functioning of the photosynthetic apparatus and the mass of heads. In more favorable to the development of culture and the weeds 2014, the biological yield of wheat decreased, primarily due to the decrease of productive tillering, the number of productive stems and grain weight per ear. Correlation between dry mass of field bindweed and the elements of productivity were authentic. The dispersive analysis showed reliability of the provided data.
Types of public policy in rural tourism development: characteristics and features
Authors: Трухачев Александр , Trukhachev Aleksandr
Published: March 2016

Rural tourism in foreign countries stably occupies a leading position in tourism industry. As practice shows, its establishment was accompanied by significant participation of the state in terms of the development of different measures and programs for supporting and promotion. The author has generalized foreign experience of such participation. This allowed distinguishing by criterion of the intensity of the efforts of state authorities aimed at the formation and development of the tourism industry in rural areas three types of state policy of development of rural tourism: active, passive and moderate. The article shows the features of these approaches in the formation of the base of strategic documents. As it can be seen from the materials of the article, along with the strategy and programs of development of rural tourism the special legal framework of rural tourism is formed. It is a part of an active state policy and regulates certain aspects, such as taxation, quality of service, etc. Moderate public policy of development of rural tourism is limited to the basic strategic documents, as well as individual measures of interagency cooperation and coordination of the instruments. Passive type of public policy in rural tourism is not systematic and consistent and is characterized by using of separate measures aimed at the development of rural tourism. The article shows the areas and peculiarities of building of interagency cooperation in the development of strategic decisions about the development of rural tourism in the framework of these public policy types. The differences in the coordination of the instruments of public policy of development of rural tourism at all levels of regulation are justified. Various intensities of cross-sectoral integration processes in the development of rural areas correspond to certain types of public policy in rural tourism.
Decision Stages and Asymmetries in Regular Retail Price Pass-Through
Authors: McShane Blakeley B. , Chen Chaoqun , Anderson Eric T. , Simester Duncan I.
Published: March 2016

We study the pass-through of wholesale price changes onto regular retail prices using an unusually detailed data set obtained from a major retailer. We model pass-through as a two-stage decision process that reflects both whether as well as how much to change the regular retail price. We show that pass-through is strongly asymmetric with respect to wholesale price increases versus decreases. Wholesale price increases are passed through to regular retail prices 70% of the time while wholesale price decreases are passed through only 9% of the time. Pass-through is also asymmetric with respect to the magnitude of the wholesale price change, with the magnitude affecting the response to wholesale price increases but not decreases. Finally, we show that covariates such as private label versus national brand, 99-cent price endings, and the time since the last wholesale price change have a much stronger impact on the first stage of the decision process (i.e., whether to change the regular retail price) than on the second stage (i.e., how much to change the regular retail price).

Mentha piperita is considered as the most economically important aromatic as well as medicinal herb of Labiatae family. This medicinal herb has traditionally been used to treat a variety of digestive complaints. In the present study, effects of twenty treatments of salt and nanoparticles of Iron oxide were examined on the leaf trichomes morphology of M. piperita samples. In total twenty solutions, combinations of four salt concentrations with five iron oxide nanoparticles concentrations were used for the treatments. Different kinds of glandular and non-glandular trichomes were found in the studied plant samples. Glandular trichomes were seen in the shapes of peltate, short-stalked capitate and non-stalked and non-glandular ones were unbranched and had one to seven cells. The obtained results showed that the kind and abundant of trichomes differed between the studied treatments. Statistical analyses showed significant positive correlations between salt concentrations with trichomes density. While, negative significant correlations have occurred between concentrations of nanoparticle of iron oxide with some kinds of trichomes.

Mental Health Law and the Americans With Disabilities Act: One Consumer's Journey
Authors: Saks Elyn
Published: March 2016

The pendulum of mental health law has swung between a focus on autonomy and on well-being. At its 25th anniversary, the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) is an important player in this landscape. After describing my experience in school and work before and after the enactment of the ADA, this article sets out the important issues in mental health today and more broadly. I describe other policies driven by the ADA, as well as my work at the Saks Institute for Mental Health Law, Policy, and Ethics. Although this article focuses primarily on mental health impairments and related disabilities, as opposed to intellectual and developmental disabilities, much of what is said here applies broadly to cognitive impairments.

O texto lusitano de Cabeço das Fráguas evidencia, como opção compositiva claramente propositada, uma simetria formal entre as duas séries de elementos expressos, as oferendas animais e as divindades contempladas. Supondo os teónimos em dativo, a interpretação tradicional desta epígrafe previa pois a existência de dativos singulares em -a da 1ª declinação no contexto linguístico em análise. Mas este axioma baseia-se em indícios pouco seguros, tendo sido recusado por Untermann e outros que, porém, adiantaram alternativas também elas difíceis de aceitar. Uma solução conciliatória que entretanto ensaiámos veio igualmente a revelar-se infundada. Agora, revendo com atenção as características internas da inscrição e as especificidades do santuário, propomos uma alternativa radicalmente diversa, entendendo o texto das Fráguas como uma invocatio e considerando assim necessariamente os teónimos expressos, todos eles, em vocativo.

Salah satu upaya mitigasi perubahan iklim adalah melalui skema REDD+ (Reducing Emission from Deforestation dan Forest Degradation). Mekanisme REDD+ dipilih sebagai alternatif yang menawarkan konsep baru upaya konservasi hutan dengan adanya insentif ekonomi atas besarnya karbon yang mampu dijaga sejalan dengan lestarinya suatu kawasan hutan atau lahan gambut. Provinsi Kalimantan Tengah dengan inisiasi implementasi skema REDD+ ditunjuk sebagai pilot province implementasi REDD+ di Indonesia. Dengan implementasi REDD+ masyarakat diharapkan menjadi garda terdepan dalam menjaga pelestarian hutan antara lain melalui keterlibatan masyarakat dalam memberikan masukan bagi pelaksanaan kinerja kelompok kerja (Pokja Komunikasi) serta Pelibatan Para Pihak serta penanggulangan kebakaran hutan. Dengan begitu, manfaat yang diperoleh bukan semata kelestarian hutan, namun juga pemberdayaan masyarakat sekitar hutan.

Pasar tradisional merupakan tempat perdagangan asli yang masih mempunyai ciri-ciri perdagangan tradisional sesuai dengan budaya lokal. Dengan semakin banyaknya perubahan pada pemenuhan kebutuhan masyarakat, maka barang dagangan yang diperjualbelikan di pasar tradisional tidak hanya barang asli setempat saja. Banyak barang dagangan yang berasal dari daerah lain dan bahkan berasal dari produk industri skala besar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui jangkauan wilayah pelayanan Pasar Tradisional Somoroto Kecamatan Kauman, Kabupaten Ponorogo dengan menggunakan  mix method: deskriptif kuantitatif dan kualitatif dengan empat analisis. Pertama, analisis mekanisme atau proses jual beli barang. Kedua, analisis pemilihan lokasi pedagang dan pembeli dalam berbelanja di Pasar Tradisional Somoroto. Ketiga, analisis asal pedagang dan pembeli. Keempat, analisis jaringan pelayanan pasar tradisional Somoroto. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah sebagai berikut: pertama, sebagai tempat koleksi distribusi komoditas, pasar tradisional Somoroto mempunyai jenis komoditas dan lingkup layanan yang berbeda-beda. Kedua, barang dagangan kebanyakan masih di import dari luar wilayah Kecamatan Kauman dan Kabupaten Ponorogo.

Sektor non-pertanian pedesaan merupakan sektor potensial untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat pedesaan, namun seringkali kurang didorong oleh kebijakan pemerintah daerah terutama dalam penyusunan perencanaan tata ruang (Sugiri et al, 2011). Kondisi tersebut terjadi di Kecamatan Sukorejo, Kendal sebagai wilayah yang memiliki potensi non-pertanian. Dengan demikian, yang menjadi Research Question adalah : “bagaimana perencanaan tata ruang dapat memfasilitasi secara lebih baik pengembangan sektor non-pertanian pedesaan di Kecamatan Sukorejo?” Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan metode analisis deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil kajian penelitian menunjukkan kegiatan non-pertanian pedesaan di Kecamatan Sukorejo mampu menciptakan lapangan kerja bagi masyarakat. Menurut struktur ruang, belum mempertimbangkan konektivitas wilayah sebagai pendukung kegiatan. Berdasarkan pola ruang, penjabaran hanya terbatas pada zonasi. Intensitas kegiatan hanya untuk diferensiasi kegiatan berdasarkan jenis. Konstruksi masyarakat menunjukkan bahwa hasil perencanaan tata ruang kurang menguntungkan bagi masyarakat pelaku kegiatan non-pertanian. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa peran perencanaan tata ruang bersifat menghambat pengembangan kegiatan non-pertanian pedesaan di Sukorejo. Agar dapat memfasilitasi secara lebih baik, diperlukan perbaikan penyusunan perencanaan tata ruang yang mampu mengakomodasi kebutuhan masyarakat dari proses input, produksi, dan distribusi dalam aspek ruang sehingga jika dilaksanakan dengan baik dapat membantu dalam upaya pengentasan kemiskinan.

Nowadays, developing vehicle is made as light as posible with the purpose to reduce energy consumption. For this reason, material that can be used is aluminium that has light weight and non corrosion properties. Aluminum structure will be not strong enough, it still need another material like steel to make it stronger and stiffer. Joining aluminum to steel has problems because of very low solubility, thus it requires other material as its medium in which it accelerates promoter solubility aluminum to steel. In this study, mixture of Fe and Cu powder was used as promoter material or filler in the process of diffusion welding of aluminium and steel.. The  good results diffusion between the steel with aluminum filler hence the need for variation of Fe and Cu. Aluminum and steel welding process with adapting diffusion treatment will produces intermetallic layer. Intermetallic layer was formed from the fussion among two different material, and it made new compound. This research showed some different solubility level of aluminum in steel in every variation of filler composition. The highest solubility ratio of aluminum in steel was 0.4 which reached in the specimens with filler composition of 40% Fe,60% Cu and 60% Fe,40% Cu.
