Między przekładem, komentarzem a interpretacją — uwagi na marginesie anglojęzycznego podręcznika literatury polskiej
Authors: Skwara Marta
Published: September 2019

In-between Translation, Commentary and Interpretation — Remarks on the Margins of an English Language History of Polish LiteratureThe paper is devoted to the reciprocal connections among three “metatexts”: translation, commentary, and interpretation. On the basis of Antoine Berman’s theoretical assumptions I demonstrate how these three “reformulations” are intertwined in order to analyze chosen pieces of Polish poetry in English translation. My aim is to explore various roles which translation, commentary and interpretation can play in presenting Polish literature to foreign readers.KEY WORDS: translation, commentary, interpretation, intertextuality, Polish literature

Why to Retranslate: New Ukrainian Renderings of Polish ProseThe paper focuses on the issue of retranslation perceived as a significant aspect of contemporary practice of literary translation into Ukrainian, exemplified by the cases of the retranslation of short stories by Bruno Schulz and Tadeusz Konwicki’s Minor Apocalypse. The emergence of new translations within a short time encourages questions about the ambitions that drove translators and publishers to present new translations of the previously translated literary works, as well as about the strategies used by translators.KEY WORDS: retranslation, Bruno Schulz, Tadeusz Konwicki, critical reception of translation, Ukrainian literary culture
Komunistyczna Partia Polski dziś. KPP jako przykład partii marginalnej
Authors: Obacz Piotr
Published: September 2019

Artykuł poświęcony jest współczesnej Komunistycznej Partii Polski — jej celom i kierunkom działania, a nade wszystko temu, w jaki sposób nawiązuje do przeszłości, jak traktuje spuściznę organizacji, do których się odwołuje, tj. przede wszystkim KPRP i KPP okresu międzywojennego, i w końcu jakich udziela odpowiedzi na wyzwania współczesności sięgając do przeszłości jako źródła politycznych inspiracji. Celem autora opracowania jest przybliżenie, jak rysuje się poczucie związku historycznego KPP z dawniejszymi polskimi partiami komunistycznymi i co z tego wynika, jeśli chodzi o kierunki działania politycznego, przedstawienie charakterystycznego poczucia „posłannictwa” KPP oraz reakcji opinii publicznej na fakt działania w Polce partii odwołującej się do komunistycznej ideologii, programu i przeszłości. Na tej kanwie możliwa i adekwatna jest teoretyczna charakterystyka partii marginalnej. Analizę oparto na kryteriach teoretycznych dotyczących partii małych, niszowych i marginalnych. Z tej perspektywy możliwe było określenie i objaśnienie charakterystycznych cech współczesnej Komunistycznej Partii Polski właśnie jako partii marginalnej oraz dokonanie oceny potencjału politycznego KPP w rywalizacji politycznej i wyborczej. Wydaje się przy tym — i jest to główna teza artykułu, iż w związku m.in. z radykalizmem KPP, archaicznym programem tej partii, balansowaniem na granicy delegalizacji i innymi uwarunkowaniami politycznymi oraz tymi przewidzianymi teorią, Komunistyczna Partia Polski pozostanie jedynie tzw. fringe party, której przekaz jest niezrozumiały w kontekście norm i przekonań politycznych mieszczących się w obecnym horyzoncie politycznym współczesnej Polski.
Edukacyjna inżynieria memetyczna. W kierunku szkoły demokratycznej
Authors: Hofman-Kozłowska Dominika
Published: September 2019

Celem podjętym w artykule jest przeanalizowanie modelu organizacyjnego szkoły demokratycznej. Przykładem, który posłuży do zobrazowania tego modelu, będzie najstarsza szkoła demokratyczna na świecie — szkoła Summerhill z Wielkiej Brytanii, działająca od prawie stu lat. Szczególną uwagę zwrócimy na wizję i wartości, które stanęły u jej podstaw, oraz wynikające z nich podejście do dziecka. W artykule przedstawione zostaną także konkretne rozwiązania dotyczące organizacji nauki i czasu wolnego oraz prac samorządu. Przyporządkujemy też model szkół demokratycznych do odpowiadającego im poziomu rozwoju organizacji. Posłuży do tego koncepcja dynamiki spiralnej Clare’a W. Gravesa (Spiral Dynamics Model). Koncepcja ta nie była wykorzystywana na gruncie polskim do analizy modeli organizacyjnych szkoły.
Polityka regionalna jako podstawa rozwoju przemysłu motoryzacyjnego w województwie śląskim
Authors: Toboła Krzysztof
Published: September 2019

Przemysł motoryzacyjny w województwie śląskim zyskuje na znaczeniu. Wpływ na to ma wiele czynników, spośród których działania polityczne władz samorządowych województwa śląskiego wraz z administracją rządową należą do jednych ważniejszych. Elementem działań politycznych był m.in. „Kontrakt regionalny dla województwa katowickiego” oraz Strategia Rozwoju Województwa Śląskiego. W wyniku tej aktywności powstała Katowicka Specjalna Strefa Ekonomiczna, co wyraźnie rzutowało i nadal rzutuje zarówno na powstawanie nowych, jak i rozbudowę już istniejących zakładów związanych z branżą motoryzacyjną. Są to m.in. Fiat Auto Poland, Opel, Isuzu, Magneti Marelli. Rozwój tej gałęzi przemysłu staje się dużą szansą na skok technologiczny oraz restrukturyzację gospodarki dla województwa śląskiego i dla Polski.

Topicality. Mutual determination of economic, political, scientific and technical, social, resource, ecological and other elements of the business environment, deepening of internal relations caused the development of the forms and content of firms� social activities of, as well as its conceptual substantiation and evaluation. Integration of Ukraine's economy into the international economic space and the effective interaction of domestic business structures with the actors of world markets should take into account a number of socio-economic conditions and challenges, among which the processes of socialization of entrepreneurship occupy a decisive place that determines the relevance of this paper.
Aim and tasks. The purpose of the study is analyzing the current trends of the corporate social responsibility concept, the directions of the evaluation of its implementation and effectiveness in accordance to existing criteria and world practices. The results of the study have theoretical and applied value and can be used for research purposes and for the Ukrainian business sector improvement strategy development.
Research results. The transformation of the CSR concept reflects the implementation of a more pragmatic approach to the relationship between social issues and business processes strategic management. The social activity is considered as a lever of employees� contradictions and conflicts managing, the human resources quality improving, regional and local development, environmental issues solving.

CONCEPTUAL APPROACHES TO PROPERTY CLASSIFICATION: POLITICAL - ECONOMICAL ASPECT
Authors: KOVBATIUK М.V. , SHEVCHUK V.O.
Published: September 2019

Topicality. Property is a difficult complex system category, which in its development underwent significant continuous quantitative and qualitative changes. The problem of different interpretations of the economic category �property� aggravated by the fact that scientists lack a unanimous approach to identifying types, kinds and forms of ownership, which indicates the diversity of approaches to the classification of property.
Aim and tasks. of the article is to substantiate the theoretical approaches to the definition of the economic content of property in the process of its transformation and development and the study of the classification of types and forms of ownership in particular from the point of viev of traditional and modern classification.
Research results. The article analyzes the approaches of outstanding scientists to the theoretical concept of the category "property" in different eras of the development of economic science. The study showed that at present it is advisable to distinguish between classical and modern classification of property. Therefore, the authors have formed a classical classification that includes two types of property: private, which exists in two forms: simple private property and capitalistic private property, and public property, which has two types � collective and state property. The modern classification based on modern views and trends in the evolution of property relations in society, based on the position that it is incorrect to single out only private and public types of ownership, because in this approach a separate individual and a work collective are identified, which may include tens, hundreds or more workers.
Conclusions. Therefore, in the modern classification of property, types of ownership are collective (group), private, which are combined into a group of non-state types of ownership, as well as public (state) and supranational which form a group of state ownership types. In spite of the fact that there are no species in the modern classification of property and in the classification according to the legislation, practical experience indicates that there are still varieties of property. Therefore, it is advisable to classify property not only by types and forms, but divided into types according to various classification criteria, namely by objects of ownership, by subjects of ownership, depending on the type of property, by the number of owners, by features of objects, by levels of privatization.
Unintended Securitization
Authors: Eyal Hedva , Samimian-Darash Limor
Published: September 2019

In this article, we examine statements by state officials and individuals from the military and the medical establishment regarding the provision of medical aid by Israel to casualties from the Syrian Civil War. We argue discussions of this project have been characterized by three different discourses, each dominant at different times, which we classify as military, medical, and political-security. We propose “unintended securitization” to describe how the project moved from the military into the medical-civilian and then into the political sphere, and came to be seen as advancing the security interests of the Israeli state. We argue the relationship between humanitarianism and securitization seen here challenges the view that humanitarian apparatuses are often subordinated to military rationales by showing how securitization here emerged from the demilitarization of what was initially a military project.

A note about the Greek script and the Greek language as found in Kitāb al-Fihrist by Ibn an-Nadīm
Authors: Serikoff N. I.
Published: September 2019

Abstract: the article deals with the note on the history of the Greek language and the Greek script as found in the Kitab al-Fihrist by Ibn an-Nadim. The author analyses the composition of the passage as well as the ways and methods applied to transcribe the Greek technical linguistic terms with Arabic letters. The results obtained invite a strong suggestion that the note as a whole was not written by Ibn an-Nadim himself but was constructed on the basis of the material from the Greek manual Kitāb fī aḥkām al-iʿrāb ʿalā madhab al-yūnāniyyīn composed by Hunayn ibn Ishaq (d. 873 AD).
What is the Russian for “Bodhi” an “enlightenment” or an “awakening”?
Authors: Androsov V. P.
Published: September 2019

Abstract: this article addresses the key mystery of Shakyamuni-Buddha’s path to liberation from suffering, the attainment of perfect knowledge, omniscience, achievements of nirvana, and much more. Various texts of the Buddhist traditions unequivocally describe this event by the term “Bodhi”. The correct understanding of the content of this term means the understanding of the phenomenon of Buddhism, a religion, which remains unique among all religions of mankind. In particular, the article addresses the problem of translating (or interpreting) the term of “Bodhi” into Russian. The author traces the translations of this term in the Russian studies of the Buddhist culture and religion, which cover the period of two centuries. He argues that the most exact rendering of this term is the prosvetlenie (an “enlightenment”, “illumination”), supported by the such eminent scholars as F. I. Stcherbatsky, S. F. Oldenbourg and Yu. N. Roerich and their pupils. Another translation as probuzhdenie (an “awakening”) should be rejected. In this context it has different connotations and, besides, is also reserved to describe in Russian other phenomena of the Buddhist cultural and religious tradition.
The tathagata as the character of verbal duel
Authors: Vyrschikov Ye. G.
Published: September 2019

Abstract: this article considers the special relationship of the Tathagata with “speaking truth”. Valuable material for studying this relationship in detail we take from the Sutras of “Digha-Nikaya”. And in these parts the Tathagata is extremely similar to a certain character of early Upanishads (“Brihadaranyaka Upanishad” and “Chandogya Upanishad”), who called brahmishtha. This character is mysterious, in the later Brahministic and Hinduistic traditions it is not fixed. The article makes the assumption that Tathagata was in the ancient pan-Indic term, only subsequently established exclusively for Buddhism, brahmishtha was and remained a peripheral term, the hero of local traditions.
Vajradhara Buddha in Mongolia
Authors: Syrtypova S.-Kh. D.
Published: September 2019

Abstract: the article deals with the Vajradhara Buddha iconography and sculptural images. Vajradhara is a symbol of the dharmakaya i.e. the primordial Buddha, the fundamental principle of the whole pantheon of deities of the Vajrayana. Due to the genius and inspirations of Zanabazar (1635–1723), the great artist and the spiritual leader of Mongolia, the Adi-Buddha Vajradhara became the holiest figure in Mongolian Buddhism and also religious symbol of the whole country. The author analyses various sculptural images of Vajradhara both as single deity and as a yab-yum symbol (a representation of the primordial union of wisdom and compassion, depicted as a male deity in union with his female consort) by Ӧndӧr Gegen Zanabazar or related to him. The artefacts are currently being preserved in the Buddhist monasteries, temples and the museums of art as well as in private collections in Mongolia. The latter have not yet received their full description and often remain unrecorded.

The Immunomodulatory, Nitric Oxide and Cytokine activity of SeptilinTM
Authors: Hoosen Mujeeb
Published: September 2019

Objective: Herbal immunomodulatory preparations are increasing in popularity. In vitro, in vivo and clinical trial studies are needed to ensure safety, quality and efficacy of these herbal medicines. SeptilinTM, a proprietary herbal medicinal product has been reported to have immunomodulatory effects.

Methods: For this narrative review the author surveyed the primary literature on SeptilinTM and its ingredients with regards to immunomodulatory, nitric oxide (NO) and cytokine activity. Databases utilized included Pubmed, Science Direct and EBSCO, Google Scholar as well as a hand search through journals and bibliographies was included. English language restriction was observed. The following parameters had to be met for study inclusion: investigations on SeptilinTM as a formulation (liquid or dried form) were accepted. Research on the isolated constituents of SeptilinTM (single herbs) was also accepted. The accepted model types included; in vitro and in vivo, animal and human models. The following were also required; method of preparation of the SeptilinTM, concentration of the plant preparation and dose/exposure time. Only studies providing statistically significant results with regards to immunomodulatory, cytokine and nitric oxide activity were included.

Results: SeptilinTM and its ingredients had effects on at least one cytokine. The most frequently studied cytokines were IL-1, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, TNF, and IFN. Many studies also reported on NO activities. SeptilinTM and its ingredients demonstrated modulation of several cytokines with varying results on NO activity. The bulk of studies conducted on SeptilinTM and its ingredients were in vitro, the few in vivo studies were mainly conducted in rats or mice models with a few studies conducted on humans.

Conclusion: The in vitro and in vivo research demonstrates that SeptilinTM and its ingredients modulate the secretion of multiple cytokines and NO with varying effects on cytokine and NO secretion due to divergent research methodologies. The reported therapeutic success of these herbal products by natural medicine practitioners and clinicians may be due to their effects on cytokine and NO activity.

Perfoming activity of conductor-choirmaster as a subject of cultural creation: conceptual models of the culturological discourse
Authors: Kornisheva T.
Published: September 2019

The article analyzes the activity of conductor-choirmaster as a subject of cultivation with the help of conceptual models of culturological discourse. Moreover it determines the problem of the concept of "cultural creation", investigates the content potential of its conceptual derivations: "cultural art", "culture", "cultural carrier", consequently it analyzes their heuristic significance for the analysis of those processes of world and national culture, that are issued in the modality of cultural changes, achievements, cultural dynamics, the active subject of which is the figure of the choir conductor. The methodological potential of a non-classical philosophical and cultural toolkit made it possible to integrate narrowly specialized musicological principles of study into the historical and cultural context, into specifics of cultural realities, both historical and contemporary. In the context of culturological methodology and toolkit, the article deals with the typological characteristics of the conductor-choirmaster as frontierity and liminality, emphasizing the transgression of the creative component of conductor’s performance activities.

#IfTheyGunnedMeDown: How Ethics, Gender, and Race Intersect When Researching Race and Racism on Tumblr
Authors: Ungbha Korn Jenny
Published: September 2019

Challenges related to digital social research have centered upon protection of the participants whose activity online create the data sets used for study. Ethical issues related to digital participant protection include how researchers interact with research participants. Some researchers argue that particular sites online should be considered “public,” and as a public site of study, that type of digital research does not require participant permission to study. More recently, there has been a push from some editors to researchers to contact individuals to obtain their permission to be studied, even for areas online that might have been regarded as public. In this essay, I share how ethics, gender, and race intersect when researching race and racism on Tumblr through #IfTheyGunnedMeDown.
BlockСhain та Bitcoin що це таке та «як працює»?

Published: September 2019

Перспективною для усвідомлення сутності криптовалюти в контексті кримінально-правового регулювання вбачається систематизація її ознак і встановлення їх змісту. Видається, що найбільш вдалою систематизацією ознак криптовалюти буде традиційна для кримінально-правового регулювання система ознак предмета злочину: фізична, економічна, юридична. Фізична ознака характеризує технічні аспекти функціонування криптовалюти. Економічну ознаку визначає ціна, яку за неї можуть заплатити зацікавлені особи. Юридична ознака встановлюється на підставі послідовного аналізу передбачених чинним законодавством видів об’єктів цивільних прав. Отже, у контексті кримінально-правового регулювання криптовалюта представляє собою дані в електронному вигляді, що мають ціну та є предметом реалізації права на інформацію.

Children, Adolescents and School Health: Toward Future Public Health
Authors: Alsubaie Ali Saad R.
Published: September 2019

Adolescents, youth, and young; these terms are sometimes used interchangeably. The definition of adolescence varies across countries and cultures, but generally begins with and implies the biological changes of puberty and ends with the adoption of adult responsibilities and social roles. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines adolescents as those people between 10 and 19 years of age [1]. The great majority of adolescents are, therefore, included in the age-based definition of “child”, adopted by the Convention on the Rights of the Child as a person under the age of 18 years. However, in general, adolescence is the period between childhood and adulthood. Adolescence is described as a period of significant physical, emotional, and social changes, presenting new health risks as well as unique opportunities for health promotion.
Using Telemedicine to Increase Eye Care Screening & Referral for People with Diabetes
Authors: Fox Charles R. , Kronenberg Kim , Weiskopf Eric S.
Published: September 2019

Diabetes is the leading cause of preventable blindness among adults aged 20-74 years. Millions of Americans are affected by the complications and premature morbidity and mortality rates associated with diabetes mellitus (DM). We deal with two of these complications, visual impairment and blindness from diabetic retinopathy, that imposes a significant, increasing burden on patients, providers, and the health care system. These burdens are predicted to approximately triple over the next few decades.A major issue is that many people with diabetic retinopathy do not seek eye care, even if they are covered by insurance, because the disease is often symptom free until vision is significantly compromised. At this late stage, visual impairment is more difficult and more expensive to manage and often the damage is irreversible. A possible solution to increasing screening for diabetic retinopathy is Digital Teleretinal Imaging. We review the literature on this technology and offer a screening approach using non-mydriatic Digital Teleretinal Imaging. We explore advantages and limitations of this strategy and discuss the role that state public health agencies can play in facilitating further research and implementation. We conclude that this technology offers significant patient, clinical, and public health benefits through mass public screenings.
Parameterised Enumeration for Modification Problems
Authors: Creignou Nadia , Ktari Raïda , Meier Arne , Müller Julian-Steffen , Olive Frédéric , Vollmer Heribert
Published: September 2019

Recently, Creignou et al. (Theory Comput. Syst. 2017), introduced the class DelayFPT into parameterised complexity theory in order to capture the notion of efficiently solvable parameterised enumeration problems. In this paper, we propose a framework for parameterised ordered enumeration and will show how to obtain enumeration algorithms running with an FPT delay in the context of general modification problems. We study these problems considering two different orders of solutions, namely, lexicographic order and order by size. Furthermore, we present two generic algorithmic strategies. The first one is based on the well-known principle of self-reducibility and is used in the context of lexicographic order. The second one shows that the existence of a neighbourhood structure among the solutions implies the existence of an algorithm running with FPT delay which outputs all solutions ordered non-decreasingly by their size.
Parallelism Strategies for Big Data Delayed Transfer Entropy Evaluation
Authors: Dourado Jonas R. , Oliveira Júnior Jordão Natal de , Maciel Carlos D.
Published: September 2019

Generated and collected data have been rising with the popularization of technologies such as Internet of Things, social media, and smartphone, leading big data term creation. One class of big data hidden information is causality. Among the tools to infer causal relationships, there is Delay Transfer Entropy (DTE); however, it has a high demanding processing power. Many approaches were proposed to overcome DTE performance issues such as GPU and FPGA implementations. Our study compared different parallel strategies to calculate DTE from big data series using a heterogeneous Beowulf cluster. Task Parallelism was significantly faster in comparison to Data Parallelism. With big data trend in sight, these results may enable bigger datasets analysis or better statistical evidence.
Trajectory Optimization of Extended Formation Flights for Commercial Aviation
Authors: Hartjes Sander , Visser Hendrikus G. , van Hellenberg Hubar Marco E. G.
Published: September 2019

This paper presents a trajectory optimization study that has been conducted using a recently developed tool for the synthesis and analysis of extended flight formations of long-haul commercial aircraft, with the aim to minimize overall fuel consumption. In extended flight formations, trailing aircraft can attain an appreciable reduction in induced drag and associated reduction in fuel burn by flying in the upwash of the lead aircraft’s wake. In the present study, a previously developed multi-phase optimal control (MOC) framework for the synthesis of two-ship flight formations has been extended to include the assembly of three-ship flight formations. Using the extended tool, various numerical experiments have been conducted in relation to the assembly of two-ship and three-ship flight formations in long-haul operations across the North-Atlantic Ocean. Additionally, numerical experiments have been carried out to examine the impact of wind fields on the synthesis and performance of flight formations. Additionally, a parametric investigation has been conducted to assess the sensitivity of the solutions with respect to the degree of the induced drag reduction that might be attained by the trailing aircraft in a formation. The results of the various numerical experiments reveal that formation flight can result in appreciable reductions in fuel burn in comparison to flying solo—particularly when larger formation strings are permitted.

Target detection is one of the most important research directions in computer vision. Recently, a variety of target detection algorithms have been proposed. Since the targets have varying sizes in a scene, it is essential to be able to detect the targets at different scales. To improve the detection performance of targets with different sizes, a multi-scale target detection algorithm was proposed involving improved YOLO (You Only Look Once) V3. The main contributions of our work include: (1) a mathematical derivation method based on Intersection over Union (IOU) was proposed to select the number and the aspect ratio dimensions of the candidate anchor boxes for each scale of the improved YOLO V3; (2) To further improve the detection performance of the network, the detection scales of YOLO V3 have been extended from 3 to 4 and the feature fusion target detection layer downsampled by 4× is established to detect the small targets; (3) To avoid gradient fading and enhance the reuse of the features, the six convolutional layers in front of the output detection layer are transformed into two residual units. The experimental results upon PASCAL VOC dataset and KITTI dataset show that the proposed method has obtained better performance than other state-of-the-art target detection algorithms.

Red Tilapia is one of the most consumed but perishable fish in the world. As a result, it requires preservation methods for safe consumption without affecting its organoleptic characteristics. Chitosan encapsulating essential oils have shown to be an excellent food conservation method. For that reason, we carried out the study of the protective effect on red Tilapia fillets with chitosan beads (CB) incorporated with Thymus capitatus (TCEO) essential oil at 500, 1000, and 2000 mg/L to assess the conservation of the fillets. The TCEO composition was characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (CG-MS). For the other side, CB was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The protective effect of the beads was tested against the Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria growth for four weeks. The results showed an inhibition effect in Gram-positive bacteria at higher TCEO concentration (1000 and 2000 mg/L). Besides that, the pH, total volatile basic nitrogen (T-BNV-N), color, and fillet texture were evaluated as quality attributes. The results suggested that the incorporation of the CB-TCEO allowed a higher contact of the active compounds with the food surface, which reflected more excellent stability. The quality attributes of the fillets were preserved for 26 days, suggesting its uses for the treatment for perishable food.

Sphingolipids are an important group of lipids that play crucial roles in living cells, facilitating cell recognition, signal transduction and endocytosis. The concentration of sphingosine and some of its derivatives like sphinganine may serve as a biomarker for the diagnosis of sphingolipidoses or be used for further research into similar diseases. In this study, a sphingolipid extraction and a high resolution detection method specific for sphingosine and sphinganine was adapted and tested. Lipids were extracted from rats’ serum, coupled to o-phthalaldehyde and detected with a fluorescence detector after running through a silica gel column in a high performance liquid chromatography system. With this method, we analysed 20 male and 20 female rat serum samples and compared the concentrations of sphingosine and sphinganine. The results showed a significant difference between the sphingosine concentrations in the male and female rats. The sphingosine concentration in female rats was 805 ng/mL (standard deviation, SD ± 549), while that in males was significantly lower at (75 ng/mL (SD ± 40)). Furthermore, the sphingosine:sphinganine ratio was almost 15-fold higher in the females’ samples. The method presented here facilitates the accurate quantification of sphingosine and sphinganine concentrations down to 2.6 ng and 3.0 ng, respectively, and their ratio in small amounts of rat serum samples to study the sphingolipid metabolism and its potential modulation due to gene mutations or the effect of prevalent toxins.

Animals and plants have numerous active protections for adapting to the complex and severe living environments, providing endless inspiration for extending the service life of materials and machines. Conch, a marine animal living near the coast and chronically suffering from the erosion of sand in water, has adapted to the condition through its anti-erosion conch shell. Romanesco broccoli, a plant whose inflorescence is self-similar in character, has a natural fractal bud’s form. Coupling the convex domes on the conch shell and the fractal structure of Romanesco broccoli, a novel valve core structure of a water hydraulic valve was designed in this paper to improve the particle erosion resistance and valve core’s service life. Three models were built to compare the effect among the normal structure, bionic structure, and multi-source coupling bionic structures, and were coined using 3D printing technology. A 3D printed water hydraulic valve was manufactured to simulate the working condition of a valve core under sand erosion in water flow, and capture the experimental videos of the two-phase flow. Furthermore, based on the water hydraulic platform and one-camera-six-mirror 3D imaging subsystem, the experiment system was established and used to compare the performance of the three different valve cores. As a result, the results showed that the coupling bionic structure could effectively improve the anti-erosion property of the valve core and protect the sealing face on the valve core from wear. This paper presents a novel way of combining advantages from both animal (function bionic) and plant (shape bionic) in one component design.

X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) is an emerging crucial therapeutic target in cancer. We report on the discovery and characterisation of small organic molecules from Piper genus plants exhibiting XIAP antagonism, namely erioquinol, a quinol substituted in the 4-position with an alkenyl group and the alkenylphenols eriopodols A–C. Another isolated compound was originally identified as gibbilimbol B. Erioquinol was the most potent inhibitor of human cancer cell viability when compared with gibbilimbol B and eriopodol A was listed as intermediate. Gibbilimbol B and eriopodol A induced apoptosis through mitochondrial permeabilisation and caspase activation while erioquinol acted on cell fate via caspase-independent/non-apoptotic mechanisms, likely involving mitochondrial dysfunctions and aberrant generation of reactive oxygen species. In silico modelling and molecular approaches suggested that all molecules inhibit XIAP by binding to XIAP-baculoviral IAP repeat domain. This demonstrates a novel aspect of XIAP as a key determinant of tumour control, at the molecular crossroad of caspase-dependent/independent cell death pathway and indicates molecular aspects to develop tumour-effective XIAP antagonists.
The Arc of Migration and the Impact on Children’s Health and Well-Being: Forward to the Special Issue-Children on the Move
Authors: Oberg Charles
Published: September 2019

Since the start of this millennium the diaspora of families with children has continued unabated. UNICEF estimates that nearly 31 million children have been forcibly displaced from their homes by the end of 2017. This includes 13 million child refugees, an estimated 17 million children internally displaced within their own countries and over 900 thousand children seeking asylum in a different country. Even more staggering is the 75 percent increase in the number of child refugees between 2010 and 2015. This Special Issue, Children on the Move: The Health of Refugee, Immigrant and Displaced Children, examines in detail the health and well-being of our most vulnerable children today. It follows the arc of migration from home country, through transit and finally the challenges experienced in a child’s new country. The papers explore a variety of acute and chronic health conditions as well as the mental health of these children and youth. The articles examine the trauma experienced in their home country, the fleeing of war, violence and/or poverty, the travails during their journey, the stress throughout their stay in detention centers and refugee camps, and finally the transition to a new home country.
Are Wildland Fires Increasing Large Patches of Complex Early Seral Forest Habitat?
Authors: DellaSala Dominick A. , Hanson Chad T.
Published: September 2019

High-severity fire creates patches of complex early seral forest (CESF) in mixed-severity fire complexes of the western USA. Some managers and researchers have expressed concerns that large high-severity patches are increasing and could adversely impact old forest extent or lead to type conversions. We used GIS databases for vegetation and fire severity to investigate trends in large (>400 ha) CESF patches in frequent-fire forests of the western USA, analyzing four equal time periods from 1984 to 2015. We detected a significant increase in the total area of large patches relative to the first time period only (1984–1991), but no significant upward trend since the early 1990s. There was no significant trend in the size of large CESF patches between 1984 and 2015. Fire rotation intervals for large CESF patches ranged from ~12 centuries to over 4000 years, depending on the region. Large CESF patches were highly heterogeneous, internally creating ample opportunities for fire-mediated biodiversity. Interior patch areas far removed from the nearest low/moderate-severity edges comprised a minor portion of high-severity patches but may be ecologically important in creating pockets of open forest. There was ample historical evidence of large CESF patches but no evidence of increases that might indicate a current risk of ecosystem-type shifts.

Published: September 2019

The increased penetration of renewable energy sources in the electrical grid, due to the rapid increase of power demand and the need of diverse energy sources, has made distributed generation (DG) units an essential part of the modern electrical grid. The integration of many DG units in smart grids requires control and coordination between them, and the grid to maximize the benefits of the DG units. Smart grids and modern electronic devices require high standards of power quality, especially voltage quality. In this paper, a new methodology is presented to improve the voltage quality and power factor in smart grids. This method depends on using voltage variation and admittance values as inputs of a controller that controls the reactive power generation in all DG units. The results show that the controller is efficient in improving the voltage quality and power factor. Real data from an electrical network have been used in the simulation model in MATLAB Simulink to test the new approach.
